Abstract

In this work a new fluorescence immunosensor with use of graphene oxide and graphene quantum dot for detection Campylobacter jejuni whole cell in food samples was designed. This biosensor was designed based on interaction of poly clonal antibody conjugated with graphene quantum dot with surface protein in Campylobacter jejuni cell membrane. Specific binding of graphene quantum dot with Campylobacter jejuni membrane leads to generate a distance among graphene dot and graphene oxide and fluorescence is ON. In lack of Campylobacter jejuni or in existence of other bacterial cells, distance between of graphene dot and graphene oxide is very low and graphene quantum dot fluorescence emission was OFF. Experiment revealed that step by step increase in bacterial target cells caused to gradually increased fluorescence emission and this process was linear. Limit of detection for this bacterial sensor was 10 CFU/ml and ability of this FRET immunosensor for Campylobacter jejuni sensing in comparison with other bacterial cells was significant. Also, this method for monitoring Campylobacter jejuni in poultry liver was applied and results revealed that this immunosensor could be used for analysis bacterial cell in food samples. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
