detection time from the 3-day period of existing tests to 15 minutes. Machine learning and
robotized bioanalytical platforms require new principles such as hydrogel-based actuators for fast
and easy analysis of bioactive analytes. Bacteria are fragile and environmentally sensitive
microorganisms that require a special environment to support their lifecycles during analytical
tests. Here, we develop a novel bioelectrochemical platform based on the soft hydrogel/eutectic
gallium-indium alloy interface for the detection of Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacillus
coagulans bacteria in various mediums. The soft hydrogel-based device is capable to support

Currently, machine learning approaches, and in particular deep learning, are very popular when
processing and analyzing large amounts of data.1 Deep networks are flexible function
approximators that, with enough training data, can be trained to recognize patterns in data. 2 This

. Soft biomimetic interfaces involving hydrogels and liquid
metals and alloys play an important role in gaining more and more information about various
complex biosystems. Among all complex biosystems, the potential of the “good” microbiome is
of greatest interest.17 Certain lactic acid bacteria have beneficial effects on human health, cure
gastrointestinal disorders and strengthen the host's immune system. 18,19 Bacterial viability is
generally considered an essential metric for optimal probiotic functionality. 20 It is believed that
they must enter the gastrointestinal tract alive and in sufficient quantities (10 7– 108 colony-
forming units (CFU)/mL) for their benefits to be evaluated. 21,22 Earlier we developed a fermented
milk product with the spore-forming probiotic Bacillus coagulans and auxiliary culture
2
During development, it was crucial to control the number of viable bacteria during storage.
Various methods, which have certain disadvantages, are used to count the number of viable
bacteria. For all these methods, bacteria must be grown selectively in a cultural medium. This
medium must contain certain substances, have a specific pH, and a suitable oxygen level (or lack
of oxygen for anaerobic bacteria). 24,25 However, these methods do not take into account the
possibility of transition to a viable but uncultivated state in which bacteria do not multiply, but
identify live and dead bacteria require manual counting. 28,29 Application of a deep learning
methods for bacteria images processing allows a great gain in a data analysis and may be
implemented for a very sensitive methods, such as holographic microscopy, however it still
requires a training with selective staining and specific microscopy setup.30 The real-time
polymerase chain reaction method is complicated and does not allow distinguishing the DNA of
living cells from dead ones.31 Some other approaches were tried, such as counting bacteria on a
microfluidic chip by implementation of differential resistive pulse sensing (RPS). 32 However, this
method has disadvantages in recognizing solutions with a high and low concentration of bacteria.
And the possibility of separating live and dead bacteria by the RPS method has not been proven.
Currently, electrochemical methods are widely applied for numerous analytical tasks in colloid
science and analysis of small biological objects. Cyclic electrochemical method combined with
artificial neural network analysis allows to estimate thin layer parameters with the focus on a
number of small point defects and their development. 33 Electrochemical Impedance spectroscopy
method applied to a biopolymer coated substrate also shows a high sensitivity for a hole-like
defects and the corrosion caused by biofilf inhomogenity. 34 Considering the bacteria behavior

for the detection and enumeration of bacteria are attracting considerable attention for their
intrinsic advantages, including fast response, simple equipment, and high specificity. 35–37 State of
the art research suggests that electrochemical sensors will inevitably become a viable alternative
method for studying conductive materials and phase boundaries. 38 This method applies a low
amplitude, variable frequency cyclic function to the transducer and uses the resulting current to
calculate the impedance.38 Initially, the EIS method was used to quantify the total biomass in
samples;39 later, its application to electrodes modified with DNA-probes or antibodies was a
breakthrough in the selectivity of the method. 40 The conductometric method, like the EIS, does
not need labels as a means of rapid detection of bacteria, which simplifies sensor preparation. 41
However, its detection rates are still low compared to traditional methods.42 There are hydrogel-
based systems that are used to detect various biological molecules.8 This technique has already
proven itself well as a selective analysis for the tick-borne encephalitis virus. 10 We propose a soft
flexible hydrogel/liquid metal actuator for bacteria monitoring in different medium and products.
Such a device provides faster and cheaper bacteria quantitative analysis in comparison with
existing techniques.
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
Materials. Agar (powder) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. MRS broth (de Man, Rogosa,
Sharpe) (powder) was purchased from HiMedia, India. Commercial probiotic preparation
LactoSpore® as a source of the spores of Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 was used. The
authenticity of the strain of Bacillus coagulans in LactoSpore® has been established through
terminal spores and vegetative cells. During cultivation in MRS broth nutrient medium, all spores
4
germinated into vegetative cells. The starter culture of Streptococcus thermophilus TA 40 (TA 40
LYO 50 DCU) is purchased from Danisco, France. PBS tablets were purchased from Rosmedbio.
Methods: Preparation of the hydrogel. To prepare the gel, 0.1 g of agar was added to 9 mL of
phosphate-buffered saline, and then this solution was stirred and sterilized at 121°C. To prevent
the death of bacteria, the solution was cooled down to 45-50°C and poured into a Petri dish to 1
mL of bacteria suspension (inoculant). The inoculant was prepared in advance by separating the
medium MRS with the addition of lactose (5 g / L). Then, the inoculants with two bacteria were
mixed 1:1. To obtain various concentrations of bacteria, 1 mL of inoculant was serially diluted in
9 mL of 0.01 M PBS. 1 mL of fermented milk product was dispersed and mixed with 9 mL of
agar solution with PBS to prepare gel samples with yogurt. Counting the number of viable
bacteria in the inoculum and dilutions was made by counting the CFU on the plates.
Scanning electron microscopy images of mixed gallium oxide and lactate insoluble film.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies were performed with a Hitachi S-3400N scanning
electron microscope. Images were acquired for insoluble film formed on the eGaIn electrode
surface at an operating voltage of 5 kV. Mixed gallium oxide-lactate film was prepared by the
placing of hydrogel with bacteria on the liquid metal electrode. Under the applied voltage gallium
is oxidizing and lactic acid produced by bacteria interacts with gallium cations. Formed film is
transferred on silicon wafer with a layer of excess gallium-indium alloy which was used as a

accelerating voltage; 0.2 nA beam current, 120 sec dwell time per spectrum. In order to avoid
DFT calculation. The quantum chemical calculations and full geometry optimization of all
model structures were carried out by the ORCA 4.2.1 program package. 42 Convergence
tolerances for geometry optimization procedure: energy change = 5.0000e-06 Eh, maximal
4.0000e-03 Bohr, RMS displacement = 2.0000e-03 Bohr. Grid4 and FinalGrid5 specifications
were used in all cases. Symmetry operations have not been applied during the geometry
optimization procedure for all model structures. The Hessian matrices were calculated for all
optimized model structures in order to prove the location of correct minima on the potential
energy surfaces (no imaginary frequencies in all cases) and to estimate the thermodynamic
parameters, the latter being calculated at 298.15 K and 1.00 atm (Table S1).
Keithley 6430. For the database, the I - V curves were measured three times at 400 points per
cycle for three independent samples per concentration range in the voltage sweep mode in the
following potential values: -0.02 to 0.02 V, from -0.1 to 0.1V, -0.5 to 0.5V, -1 to 1V, -5 to 5V.
The I-V characteristics for all samples with different concentrations of bacteria are shown in
Figure S2. The database for the concentration of bacteria is compiled on the basis of the
parameters of electrochemical processes - voltage and current. Voltage ranges were chosen as
descriptors. The data themselves represent the values of the currents obtained from the entire
cyclic volt-ampere curve. Since it was required to obtain the same amount of data from each
sample, the speed was different in each voltage range. For voltage ranges of 0.02V, 0.1V, 0.5V,
6
Thus, each sample in the database is represented by five descriptors with 2400 points in each of
Then, the database underwent a binary normalization process, as a result of which all current
values took values from 0 to 1. This training method was used to train the multilayer perceptron
model.
Machine learning model. For machine learning calculations Weka v3.8.4 (Waikato
Environment for Knowledge Analysis) is used. Dividing the data into a training set (90%) and a
test set (10%) allows the accuracy of the model to be checked.The predictive model is trained on
the database. Such a dataset consts of columns filled with attributes that determine the answers. 44
Since the peaks of the redox potential are individual for hydrogel compositions, currents are
attributes, and bacteria concentrations are classes. Machine learning model use attributes and find
statistical weights for them to predict classes. The multilayer perceptron model was chosen due to
its relatively low complexity and low-cost performance. For data processing by supervised
learning method, a multilayer perceptron model with the following parameters was used: learning
rate - 0.1, momentum – 0.1, random seed – 0, the number of hidden layers – 3, the number of
nodes in the hidden layer – 12, each of which is a weighting factor. The nodes alternately
Where z is the activation potential, z is the descriptor value, w is the weighting factor of the node,
b is the bias.
The values of the activation function are assessed using the activation function, which is sigmoid.
Through this process, objects are classified. The weights (wi) during the training of the model are

fitted using the backpropagation method. In the course of its operation, the model uses the input

We propose using of the current-voltage (I−V) characteristics at the interface between the
eutectic gallium-indium alloy (eGaIn) electrode and the hydrogel (Figure 1) to detect
Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacillus coagulans bacterial concentrations in the range from
Considering that water (or other liquid) accounts for 12% of the structure of a bacterium, its
population increment will affect the electrical conductivity and dielectric constant of a
suspension. Accordingly, any suspension with bacteria can be analyzed by statistically measuring
its electrochemical behavior using the cyclic voltammetry method. Due to the formation of
various redox states on the electrode-electrolyte interface, different signals will occur on the I-V
curves. Analysis of the data obtained may indirectly indicate the presence of a certain number of
bacteria. For the full spectrum of generation of redox states, it is necessary to use an electrode
material capable of electric current induced polymorphic transition in a given voltage range. One
such material is eGaIn alloy, which consists of 75 wt % Ga and 25 wt % In. 45 This alloy has been
successfully used to create flexible electronics due to its low melting point, high electrical
conductivity, non-toxicity, and low saturated vapor pressure. Gallium is quickly passivated in air,
forming a thin oxide film on its surface, which has a higher resistivity than the pure metal. This
8
electrochemical approach has a clear advantage over the plate counting because it is easier, faster,
The electrochemical system presented in Figure 2a consists of hydrogels and two eGaIn
electrodes. The hydrogel was made based on 0.01 M phosphate-buffered saline. Since the
measurement is performed in a hydrogel, the composition of the gel includes the bacteria
Before being added to the hydrogel, the bacteria were cultured in MRS liquid nutrient medium to
maintain viability. Homofermentative lactic acid bacteria carry out the microbiological synthesis
of lactic acid during fermentation (Figure 2b). The bacteria used in this study contain only L-
lactate dehydrogenase and therefore form the L-isomer of lactic acid. When a potential difference
is applied, gallium is oxidized and its Ga(OH) 2+ cations begin to diffuse into the hydrogel. Indium
cations do not exist in such a system because of their reduction by the gallium. The formal
oxidation potential of gallium is -0.529 V, however, in aqueous media, the formal oxidation
potential of gallium shifts to 0.319 V.8 In the hydrogel, gallium cations interact with bacteria,
Most of the gallium complexes and compounds formed in the system are soluble. However,
gallium oxide, lactate and phosphate are insoluble. As a result, a film of Ga(CH3CH(OH)COO)3
and Ga2O3 is formed on the electrode surface. In the presence of a small amount of lactic acid,
gallium lactate crystallizes in the form of thin plates. 46 Due to the fact that the reaction in the
electrochemical cell proceeds very quickly, the formation of gallium lactate crystals of a
distinguishable size does not occur in the system. Formation of insoluble oxide-lactate layer is
proved by the scanning electron microscopy images (Figure 2d). The images clearly show the
contrast between the solid film of gallium compounds and the liquid alloy in the fissure, formed
9
during sample deposition on a wafer. EDX spectra of alloy and film surfaces show a significant
excess of the carbon and oxygen amounts in the film (Figure 2e and S1). Presumably, it verifies
the presence of the oxide and lactate, which are constituted the insoluble layer. Moreover,
corrugated surface indicates that the surface layer is solid, and the surface tension is unable to
restore the smooth surface with a minimal amount of energy. However, the transparency of a
layer at higher accelerating voltages limits the thickness by no more than tens of nanometers.
Due to the absence of gallium phosphate, we provide some quantum chemical computations to
evaluate the thermodynamic favorability of binding between gallium cation and lactate and
theoretical studies of reactions, the dihydrophosphate anion (H2PO4-) was considered as model
particle due to the order of phosphoric acid dissociation constants Ka1=7.5·10-3, Ka2=6.2·10-8, and
Ka3=4.8·10-13. Results of DFT calculations are presented in Table S1, S2 and reveal that formation
Resistance of the gallium lactate layer determines the I-V curve of the sample since this insoluble
layer has the higher resistance in system. The dissolution potential of gallium oxide and gallium
lactate increases with film resistance increasing. The presence of various concentrations of
bacteria in the hydrogel also changes the I-V curve. The interaction of gallium cations with
various concentrations of bacteria leads to the formation of lactate and phosphate film in different
ratios. Redox processes of the formation and decomposition of the film with different
constituents determine the shape of the I-V characteristic peaks, which differ in the potential

Various machine learning methods can solve many biological and chemical issues, in particular,
for optimizing metabolic network models and their analysis, as well as predicting complications
of diabetes.47,48 We apply the feed-forward deep neural network model (multilayer perceptron) for
logical data analysis.49 And training such a machine learning model is performed by an error
states at the eGaIn / hydrogel interface that depend on the hydrogel composition.
The applied voltage ranges for the database are -0.02 to 0.02V, -0.1 to 0.1V, -0.5 to 0.5V, -1 to
system/hydrogel interface. Final database consists of 6 data points – PBS control and 5
concentration ranges (104 - 108 CFU/mL). Each data point includes 12000 experimental points
which are evenly distributed in 5 descriptors by voltage ranges. New experimental points from
independent experiments are sequentially added to the database until the samples are successfully
classified. The collected data was split into a training dataset (90%) and a test dataset (10%) to
test the accuracy of the model. This proportion is optimal from the point of view of preserving
large amounts of data and does not require a significant reduction in the test set. The multilayer
perceptron model is trained with the following parameters: learning rate – 0.1, momentum – 0.1,
the number of hidden layers – 3, the number of nodes in the hidden layer – 12 (Figure 4a).
Classification errors (Figure 4b) also indicate a high accuracy in determining the composition of
In five out of six cases, the trained multilayer perceptron model obtained correct results with the
highest probabilities (Figure 5). Certain difficulties arose with the determination of the
concentration of bacteria 104 (Figure 5a). From I-V curves it is visible that the concentration of
104 has a similar appearance to the control sample without bacteria (Figure S2). This uncertainty
11
arises from the multiple responses to phosphate anions, lactate and, other compounds at low
concentrations. This is accompanied by the presence of a weak useful signal. This disadvantage
can be compensated for by the fascination with the database. Further addition of statistically
significant values to the database will lead to a decrease in the statistical error.
The collected database was used to determine the concentration of Streptococcus thermophilus
and Bacillus coagulans bacteria in a yogurt sample as an analyte to assess the potential for
applying the proposed approach to dairy products. The multilayer perceptron model trained on
the collected database gives the correct result with the highest probability (Figure 6).
CONCLUSION
We have proposed a soft biomimetic monitoring device that can detect bacteria of various
concentrations with 15 mins time versus a traditional period of three days. The device can be
used to determine the concentration of wide range of bacteria. In its essence, our approach is
essential for microbiological analysis at various levels. The main advantage is to use a one-time
collected database and machine learning algorithm, that avoids calibration every time. The
multilayer perceptron algorithm shortens the bacteria detection time and has the highest
percentage of accuracy, which increases the statistical reliability of predictions. The proposed
reliable method can be used to solve a wide range of complex biological problems. The presented
