Abstract
Described herein are devices that relate to sensor, data, and interactive interfaces between micro or nano electronics and biofilms, which optionally include an added extracellular matrix. Biofilms in the interfaces can include adherent cells or microorganisms, for example, fungi, bacteria, and the biofilms may include viruses. Computational capability, circuitry, and methods are provided for interactive measurements/processing between the electronics and biofilms.
