  1. (1) Samples also used for SERS measurements; (2) Cell dry Weight (CDW) was determined and values calculated to OD600 as previous described;24 (3) These cells acting as negative control were not induced, and this sample was taken 3.5 hours after inoculation (see Fig. 2). The OD600 at time-point zero, normalized to time-of-induction of the other samples in Fig. 2 was 0.51; (4) EnBase media without cells was used as a blank for the CDW determination (CDW at 0 hours was 0 and at 24 hours after induction of the hCNTF EnBase culture was 12.5 g L−1).
