Özet

The development of amperometric glucose biosensors based on Aspergillus niger is an established method as is the use of conducting polymers (CPs) for improvement of analytical features. The novelty proposed herein consists in the synthesis of polypyrrole (Ppy) in situ, within the cellular membrane/wall for enhancement of electrochemical features of the cells in the context of electroanalytical applications. The process accomplishes a two-fold purpose: (i) it makes use of biocatalysts yielded by the cells without need for enzyme separation and purification; (ii) it involves cellular components, which perform self-coating with Ppy without need for chemical functionalization.
