Excited to share this new preprint!
Congratulations to Tailise and the team! This was a great collaboration with Tasic lab @Unicamp, Brazil (more collaboration to be followed, hopefully!)
In this work, we investigated how membrane potential of yeast changes after stimulated with an externally applied electric field. We found that non-inhibited cells show a hyperpolarisation upon electric stimulation. Interestingly, the magnitude of hyperpolarisation correlates with the level of growth inhibition. Thus, we propose this could be used as a Bio-electrical AST.
