(A) Assessment of the effect of lysozyme in the printed bio-ink on the fluorescence signal. The DNAzyme with pullulan and trehalose was mixed without or with lysozyme and printed on the paper (the lane shown as − and + lysozyme at the bottom). In the first zone only buffer was added, in the second and third zone whole cells (WC) were added. In the fourth zone cell lysate (CL) was added. The paper was scanned for fluorescence at different time points as indicated. (B) Detection limit was investigated with different numbers of E. coli cells without lysis (WC) and after lysis (CL). Details on obtaining different number of cells, cleavage reactions and analysis are provided in the experimental section. (C) Selectivity test using non-target gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
