A novel conductive composite based on PEDOT:PSS, BSA, and Nafion for effective immobilization of acetic acid bacteria on graphite electrodes as part of biosensors and microbial fuel cells has been proposed. It is shown that individual components in the composite do not have a significant negative effect on the catalytic activity of microorganisms during prolonged contact. The values of heterogeneous electron transport constants in the presence of two types of water-soluble mediators were calculated. The use of the composite as part of a microbial biosensor resulted in an electrode operating for more than 140 days. Additional modification of carbon electrodes with nanomaterial allowed to increase the sensitivity to glucose from 1.48 to 2.81 μA × mM × cm without affecting the affinity of bacterial enzyme complexes to the substrate. Cells in the presented composite, as part of a microbial fuel cell based on electrodes from thermally expanded graphite, retained the ability to generate electricity for more than 120 days using glucose solution as well as vegetable extract solutions as carbon sources. The obtained data expand the understanding of the composition of possible matrices for the immobilization of bacteria and may be useful in the development of biosensors and biofuel cells.
提出了一种基于 PEDOT:PSS、BSA 和 Nafion 的新型导电复合材料,用于将醋酸菌有效固定在石墨电极上,作为生物传感器和微生物燃料电池的一部分。结果表明,复合材料中的各个成分在长时间接触过程中对微生物的催化活性没有显著的负面影响。计算了两种水溶性介体存在下的非均相电子传递常数。将该复合材料用作微生物生物传感器的一部分,导致电极运行超过 140 天。通过用纳米材料对碳电极进行额外修饰,在不影响细菌酶复合物对底物亲和力的情况下,将葡萄糖的灵敏度从 1.48 增加到 2.81 μA×mM×cm。作为基于热膨胀石墨电极的微生物燃料电池的一部分,在复合体内的细胞保留了使用葡萄糖溶液以及蔬菜提取物溶液作为碳源发电超过 120 天的能力。所获得的数据扩展了对可能的细菌固定基质组成的理解,并且可能有助于生物传感器和生物燃料电池的开发。
