Sensing dispositive As planned, we started measuring at 0.5 OD in LB medium with gold electrodes (gold was chosen because of its high conductivity). By this initial approach satisfactory results were obtained the first day of measurements. However, the second measurement day we detected there was not a constant behaviour after each measurement replicate. The cause seemed to be the LB usage. This medium contains yeast extract which may be full of divalent ions. We expected to solve this problem by using a buffer as TE pH 8 or isotonic saline solution, but anyone of them would cause an stress to the cell that could modify or measurements in an unpredicted way. Full sensing dispositive explanation here.
