Abstract-Semiconductive nanoparticles of bacteria as Bacillus subtilis with catalyst MgFe2O4 biofilm was synthesized by using solution combustion technique. The process was convenient, environment friendly and efficient method. Materials were characterized by TG/DTA, XRD, and TEM. Thick biofilm of Bacillus subtilis MgFe2O4 was measured by exposing it to reducing economical gases. It was found that the Bacillus subtilis was sensors exhibited various sensing responses to these gases at different operating temperature. The sensor exhibited a fast response and a good recovery. The biofilm can be used as a new type of gas-sensing material which has a high sensitivity and good selectivity to various gases at low ppm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
