Growth Toxic Effects of Metal Nanoparticles on Bacillus subtilis and Vibrio parahaemolyticus by Shiyu CHEN, Bin XIA, Lin ZHU, Shuang LI, Qiufen LI, Xuemei SUN, Wei DAI

“…The obtained response values are proportional to the concentration and mobility of the ionic current in culture mediums. Since the uncharged or weakly charged substrate will be converted into highly charged small-molecule substances during the growth and proliferation of bacteria—thus increasing the culture medium conductivity—the bacterial growth process can be recorded quickly and accurately by detecting the change in the conductivity of the culture medium. …”
