Detection of the Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal (PQS) by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry using a boron doped diamond electrode

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

2-Heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone, known as the Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal, is a key regulator of bacterial cooperative behaviour known as quorum sensing. A simple electrochemical strategy was employed for its sensitive detection using a bare boron-doped diamond electrode by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. PQS (and potentially other quinolones) was then detected in cultures of P. aeruginosa pqsL- mutant strains.
