Abstract :
We survey and show our earlier results about three different ways of fluctuation-enhanced sensing of bio agent, 1) the phage-based method for bacterium detection published earlier; 2) sensing and evaluating the odors of microbes; and 3) spectral and amplitude distribution analysis of noise in light scattering to identify spores based on their diffusion coefficient.
