Electrostatic nanoassemblies of cationic conjugated oligoelectrolytes and fluorescein‐tagged ssDNA were used to characterize the growth conditions of Escherichia coli ; this is described in the Communication by G. Hanrahan, C. M. Mello, G. C. Bazan et al. on page 756 ff. The nanoassemblies interacted with the bacteria and yielded a modified photoluminescence response. The collective response of five nanoassemblies produced unique signature patterns for Escherichia coli cultured under different growth conditions.
