[EN] The construction of communication models at the micro¿/nanoscale involving abiotic nanodevices and living organisms has the potential to open a wide range of applications in biomedical and communication technologies. However, this area remains almost unexplored. Herein, we report, as a proof of concept, a stimuli¿responsive interactive paradigm of communication between yeasts (as a model microorganism) and enzyme¿controlled Janus Au¿mesoporous silica nanoparticles. In the presence of the stimulus, the information flows from the microorganism to the nanodevice, and then returns from the nanodevice to the microorganism as a feedback., B.dL. is grateful to the Spanish Government for her FPU PhD fellowship.
