It is conceivable to potentially augment the proliferation of bacteria during their cultivation on synthetic substrates by incorporating nanoparticle-based materials. or even within the context of the fermentation process. While the application of a coating may not be weighed optimal, it is worth considering its potential as a nutrient source.

Muhammad Arslan Ahmad Absolutely! Using nanoparticles for bacterial coating or to promote bacterial growth is a viable option. Incorporating nanoparticles during growing on synthetic substrates or fermentation processes might open up new avenues. While coating is not always the ideal solution, investigating nanoparticles as possible nutrition sources is obviously worthwhile.

Yes, in fact the immunomagnetic separation of bacterial solution leads to the coating of bacteria on the surface of nano/micro particles. The strategy has been used in microfluidics to isolate the bacteria using magnetic beads and then cultivate them for further detection application.
