Screening for Microbial Metal-Chelating Siderophores for the Removal of Metal Ions from Solutions.

Project description:To guarantee the supply of critical elements in the future, the development of new technologies is essential. Siderophores have high potential in the recovery and recycling of valuable metals due to their metal-chelating properties. Using the Chrome azurol S assay, 75 bacterial strains were screened to obtain a high-yield siderophore with the ability to complex valuable critical metal ions. The siderophore production of the four selected strains Nocardioides simplex 3E, Pseudomonas chlororaphis DSM 50083, Variovorax paradoxus EPS, and Rhodococcus erythropolis B7g was optimized, resulting in significantly increased siderophore production of N. simplex and R. erythropolis. Produced siderophore amounts and velocities were highly dependent on the carbon source. The genomes of N. simplex and P. chlororaphis were sequenced. Bioinformatical analyses revealed the occurrence of an achromobactin and a pyoverdine gene cluster in P. chlororaphis, a heterobactin and a requichelin gene cluster in R. erythropolis, and a desferrioxamine gene cluster in N. simplex. Finally, the results of the previous metal-binding screening were validated by a proof-of-concept development for the recovery of metal ions from aqueous solutions utilizing C18 columns functionalized with siderophores. We demonstrated the recovery of the critical metal ions V(III), Ga(III), and In(III) from mixed metal solutions with immobilized siderophores of N. simplex and R. erythropolis.

Water-Soluble Sulfonate Schiff-Base Ligands as Fluorescent Detectors for Metal Ions in Drinking Water and Biological Systems.

Project description:The ability to detect and selectively identify trace amounts of metal ions is of major importance for drinking water identification and biological studies. Herein, we report a series of water-soluble Schiff-base ligands capable of being fluorescent and colorimetric sensors for metal ions. Upon coordination of the metal ion to the ligand, quenching of fluorescence is observed, typically in a 1:1 ratio. The selectivity of metal ions Cu2+, Ni2+, Cr3+, and Co2+ is exhibited via fluorescence quenching accompanied by colorimetric changes, whereas that of Ag+ and Co2+ is observed through colorimetric changes alone. Additionally, pH sensing studies were performed for the potential use of these ligands in biological applications.

Highly Sensitive Ratiometric Fluorescent Paper Sensors for the Detection of Fluoride Ions.

Project description:Two sensitive and ratiometric fluorescent probes (probe I and probe II) were developed for the detection of fluoride ions. Probe I can detect fluoride ions quantitatively within a range of 0-6 μM and a detection limit of 73 nM, while probe II has a range of 0-40 μM and a detection limit of 138 nM. The test strips from probe I are quickly able to recognize F- (5 min) inside of the F- safety level in drinking water (1.0 mg/L, ∼5 μM) under 254 nm ultraviolet light, and the test strips from probe II quickly recognize F- (12 min) in dangerously high F- levels in water (4.0 mg/L, ∼21 μM) under 254 nm ultraviolet light. This combination of fluorescent paper sensors from probe I and probe II can be used as a simple and convenient tool to determine whether water is safe to drink or dangerous.

Sensing metal ions with DNA building blocks: fluorescent pyridobenzimidazole nucleosides.

Project description:We describe novel fluorescent N-deoxyribosides (1 and 2) having 2-pyrido-2-benzimidazole and 2-quino-2-benzimidazole as aglycones. The compounds were prepared from the previously unknown heterocyclic precursors and Hoffer's chlorosugar, yielding alpha anomers as the chief products. X-ray crystal structures confirmed the geometry and showed that the pyridine and benzimidazole ring systems deviated from coplanarity in the solid state by 154 degrees and 140 degrees , respectively. In methanol compounds 1 and 2 had absorption maxima at 360 and 370 nm, respectively, and emission maxima at 494 and 539 nm. Experiments revealed varied fluorescence responses of the nucleosides to a panel of 17 monovalent, divalent, and trivalent metal ions in methanol. One or both of the nucleosides showed significant changes with 10 of the metal ions. The most pronounced spectral changes for ligand-nucleoside 1 included red shifts in fluorescence (Au(+), Au(3+)), strong quenching (Cu(2+), Ni(2+), Pt(2+)), and substantial enhancements in emission intensity coupled with red shifts (Ag(+), Cd(2+), Zn(2+)). The greatest spectral changes for ligand-nucleoside 2 included a red shift in fluorescence (Ag(+)), a blue shift (Cd(2+)), strong quenching (Pd(2+), Pt(2+)), and substantial enhancements in emission intensity coupled with a blue shift (Zn(2+)). The compounds could be readily incorporated into oligodeoxynucleotides, where an initial study revealed that they retained sensitivity to metal ions in aqueous solution and demonstrated possible cooperative sensing behavior with several ions. The two free nucleosides alone can act as differential sensors for multiple metal ions, and they are potentially useful monomers for contributing metal ion sensing capability to DNAs.

A modular platform to develop peptoid-based selective fluorescent metal sensors.

Project description:Despite the reduction in industrial use of toxic heavy metals, there remain contaminated natural water sources across the world. Herein we present a modular platform for developing selective sensors for toxic metal ions using N-substituted glycine, or peptoid, oligomers coupled to a fluorophore. As a preliminary evaluation of this strategy, structures based on previously identified metal-binding peptoids were synthesized with terminal pyrene moieties. Both derivatives of this initial design demonstrated a turn-off response in the presence of various metal ions. A colorimetric screen was designed to identify a peptoid ligand that chelates Hg(ii). Multiple ligands were identified that were able to deplete Hg(ii) from a solution selectively in the presence of an excess of competing ions. The C-terminal fluoropeptoid derivatives demonstrated similar selectivity to their label-free counterparts. This strategy could be applied to develop sensors for many different metal ions of interest using a variety of fluorophores, leading to a panel of sensors for identifying various water source contaminants.

Fluorescent hydrogel waveguide for on-site detection of heavy metal ions.

Project description:Hydrogels have great applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Recently, there have been intense interests in developments and applications of nanocomposite hydrogels by incorporating nanomaterials into polymer matrix, which endows the hydrogels with new functionalities. Here, we report on the first carbon dots (CDs) doped hydrogel waveguide for selective, on-site detection of heavy metal ions in aqueous solutions. The CDs-doped hydrogel waveguide exhibits efficient light confinement in water due to the refractive index contrast. The smooth waveguide surfaces lead to low light scattering loss. Real-time spectra measurement of the CDs-doped hydrogel waveguide with a compact interrogation setup demonstrates that the novel design can be used as a portable, robust sensing platform for on-site analysis and assessment of heavy metal ions.

Preparation of Amidoxime Polyacrylonitrile Chelating Nanofibers and Their Application for Adsorption of Metal Ions.

Project description:Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning and they were modified with hydroxylamine to synthesize amidoxime polyacrylonitrile (AOPAN) chelating nanofibers, which were applied to adsorb copper and iron ions. The conversion of the nitrile group in PAN was calculated by the gravimetric method. The structure and surface morphology of the AOPAN nanofiber were characterized by a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The adsorption abilities of Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions onto the AOPAN nanofiber mats were evaluated. FT-IR spectra showed nitrile groups in the PAN were partly converted into amidoxime groups. SEM examination demonstrated that there were no serious cracks or sign of degradation on the surface of the PAN nanofibers after chemical modification. The adsorption capacities of both copper and iron ions onto the AOPAN nanofiber mats were higher than those into the raw PAN nanofiber mats. The adsorption data of Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions fitted particularly well with the Langmuir isotherm. The maximal adsorption capacities of Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions were 215.18 and 221.37 mg/g, respectively.

A Fluorescent Ditopic Rotaxane Ion-Pair Host.

Project description:We report a rotaxane based on a simple urea motif that binds Cl- selectively as a separated ion pair with H+ and reports the anion binding event through a fluorescence switch-on response. The host selectively binds Cl- over more basic anions, which deprotonate the framework, and less basic anions, which bind more weakly. The mechanical bond also imparts size selectivity to the ditopic host.

Efficient synthesis of fluorescent squaraine rotaxane dendrimers.

Project description:A squaraine rotaxane scaffold with four alkyne groups is readily converted into a range of dendritic architectures using high-yielding copper-catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) chemistry. A convergent synthesis approach is more efficient than a divergent pathway. Dendritic squaraine rotaxanes with peripheral amine groups can be further functionalized to produce multivalent deep-red fluorescent derivatives that exhibit high brightness and outstanding chemical stability in biological solution. The surface groups on these functionalized fluorescent dendrimers include guanidinium, mannose, and phosphatidylcholine.

Differentiating between fluorescence-quenching metal ions with polyfluorophore sensors built on a DNA backbone.

Project description:A common problem in detecting metal ions with fluorescentchemosensors is the emission-suppressing effects of fluorescence-quenching metal ions. This quenching tendency makes it difficult to design sensors with turn-on signal, and differentiate between several metal ions that may yield a strong quenching response. To address these challenges, we investigate a new sensor design strategy, incorporating fluorophores and metal ligands as DNA base replacements in DNA-like oligomers, for generating a broader range of responses for quenching metal ions. The modular molecular design enabled rapid synthesis and discovery of sensors from libraries on PEG-polystyrene beads. Using this approach, water-soluble sensors 1-5 were identified as strong responders to a set of eight typically quenching metal ions (Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Hg(2+), Pb(2+), Ag(+), Cr(3+), and Fe(3+)). They were synthesized and characterized for sensing responses in solution. Cross-screening with the full set of metal ions showed that they have a wide variety of responses, including emission enhancements and red- and blue-shifts. The diversity of sensor responses allows as few as two sensors (1 and 2) to be used together to successfully differentiate these eight metals. As a test, a set of unknown metal ion solutions in blind studies were also successfully identified based on the response pattern of the sensors. The modular nature of the sensor design strategy suggests a broadly applicable approach to finding sensors for differentiating many different cations by pattern-based recognition, simply by varying the sequence and composition of ligands and fluorophores on a DNA synthesizer.
