Electrochemical activity couples dynamically with biofilm formation and matrix gene expression, whereas biofilm-deficient mutants exhibit no such electrical current changes.
Across three days of continuous monitoring, chronoamperometry revealed current fluctuations that correlated with charge transfer resistance and tasA matrix gene expression.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry tracked redox states, while confocal microscopy monitored the synthesis of extracellular polymeric substances.
Highlights real-time electrical monitoring of bacterial development in Bacillus subtilis, though findings remain limited to in vitro bacterial biofilm model systems.
