We present a well-designed, low-cost, and simple synthetic approach to realizing the hybrid composites of Ag nanoparticle-decorated bacterial nanocellulose (denoted as Ag-NPs@BNC) as a three-dimensional (3D) flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with ultrahigh SERS sensitivity, excellent signal reproducibility, and stability. The homogeneous Ag-NPs with high density were in situ grown on the networked BNC fibers by the controlled silver mirror reaction and volume shrinkage treatment, which created uniformly distributed SERS "hot spots" in the 3D networked hybrid substrate. Attributed to these unique 3D hot spots, the as-presented Ag-NPs@BNC substrates exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity and good spectral reproducibility. Moreover, the hydrophilic BNC exhibits good permeability and adsorption performances, which could capture the target molecules in the highly active hot spot areas to further improve the SERS sensitivity. As a result, not only dye molecules (rhodamine 6G) but also toxic organic pollutants such as 2-naphthalenethiol and thiram have been detected using the hybrid substrates as SERS substrates, with sensitivities of 1.6 × 10-8 and 3.8 × 10-9 M, respectively. The good linear response of the intensity and the logarithmic concentration revealed promising applications in the rapid and quantitative detection of toxic organic pollutants. Besides, this self-supported Ag-NPs@BNC substrate demonstrated good stability and flexibility for varied detection conditions. Therefore, the 3D networked, flexible, ultrasensitive, and stable Ag-NPs@BNC substrate shows potential as a versatile SERS substrate in the rapid identification of various organic molecules.

D000327 Adsorption The adhesion of gases, liquids, or dissolved solids onto a surface. It includes adsorptive phenomena of bacteria and viruses onto surfaces as well. ABSORPTION into the substance may follow but not necessarily. Adsorptions
D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
