I´m interesting in the magnetite nanoparticle´s functionalization with living or death E. coli cells. In the internet the bibliography is limited

Sandra Pacios Michelena,
The binding of Magnetic nanoparticles to microbes is in its infancy, although established. I doubt if you will be able to achieve this with dead E. coli cells. Reason being that the binding of MNP to bacteria may be dependent on the surface chemistry (& morphology?) of the bacterial cell wall. How this changes in a dead bacteria, I am unsure. I believe there is literature which speaks about functionalizing the MNP with, for example, vancomycin. Please check the links below.
