Real‐time microbial growth monitoring by combining microbial fuel cell‐based device with modified Nernst equation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In this work, we demonstrate a novel design that integrates a modified Nernst equation and readings from a microbial fuel cell (MFC)‐based device, facilitating real‐time monitoring of microbial growth. The MFC‐based device is comprised of an H‐shaped double‐chamber MFC, specifically designed to incorporate an oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) sensor, allowing for simultaneous measurements of both parameters. The Nernst equation was adjusted to assimilate readings from both the ORP sensor and the MFC device, ultimately deriving a unitless curve that represents the online dynamics of microbial growth. This curve exhibits two distinct peaks: the first peak indicates the initiation of the exponential phase, while the second peak signals its termination. The proposed design can be seamlessly integrated into fermentation processes to continually monitor progress, boost productivity, develop tailored control strategies that meet specific objectives, and so on.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
