Vertical immobilization of viable bacilliform bacteria into polypyrrole films.

TLDR
A novel technique for inserting viable bacilliform bacteria into polypyrrole films is successfully developed and it was found that the poly pyrrole layer was important to keep the cells alive.
Abstract
We have successfully developed a novel technique for inserting viable bacilliform bacteria into polypyrrole films. All of the five different bacterial cells (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli) studied in this work were inserted normal to the film surface, and the viability of P. aeruginosa was unaffected by this immobilization procedure. It was also found that the polypyrrole layer was important to keep the cells alive.
