(A) Schematic of the equivalent electrical circuit when using a SLC connected to the potential source. The circuit is composed of an AHL-based quorum sensing system driving a phage lysis gene (35). The protein LuxI regulates the synthesis of autoinducer, AHL, which binds to LuxR and activates lysis after a threshold population level. (B) Profiles of the admittance (red line) and turbidity (blue line) using this strain in an electrochemostat device. The SLC is harbored by a strain Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (see Materials and Methods).
