Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using living electroactive biofilm protected by polydopamine.

ABSTRACT: The biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles from precious metals has been of wide concern. Their antibacterial activity is a main bottleneck restricting the bacterial activity and reduction performance. Here, bio-electrochemical systems were used to harvest electroactive biofilms (EABs), where bacteria were naturally protected by extracellular polymeric substances to keep activity. The biofilm was further encapsulated with polydopamine (PDA) as additional shield. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biosynthesized on EABs, whose electroactivity could be fully recovered after Ag⁺ reduction. The PDA increased bacterial viability by 90%-105%, confirmed as an effective protection against antibacterial activity of Ag⁺/AgNPs. The biosynthetic process changed the component and function of the microbial community, shifting from bacterial Fe reduction to archaeal methanogenesis. These results demonstrated that the electrochemical acclimation of EABs and encapsulation with PDA were effective protective measures during the biosynthesis of AgNPs. These approaches have a bright future in the green synthesis of nanomaterials, biotoxic wastewater treatment, and sustainable bio-catalysis.

Biofilm Eradication Using Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles.

Project description:Microorganisms offer an alternative green and scalable technology for the synthesis of value added products. Fungi secrete high quantities of bioactive substances, which play dual-functional roles as both reducing and stabilizing agents in the synthesis of colloidal metal nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles, which display potent antimicrobial properties that can be harnessed for a number of industrial applications. The aim of this work was the production of silver nanoparticles using the extracellular cell free extracts of Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and to evaluate their activity as antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents. The 45-nm diameter silver nanoparticles synthesized using this methodology possessed a high negative surface charge close to -30 mV and showed colloidal stability from pH 3-9 and under conditions of high ionic strength ([NaCl] = 10-500 mM). A combination of environmental SEM, TEM, and confocal Raman microscopy was used to study the nanoparticle-E. coli interactions to gain a first insight into their antimicrobial mechanisms. Raman data demonstrate a significant decrease in the fatty acid content of E. coli cells, which suggests a loss of the cell membrane integrity after exposure to the PchNPs, which is also commensurate with ESEM and TEM images. Additionally, these biogenic PchNPs displayed biofilm disruption activity for the eradication of E. coli and C. albicans biofilms.

Fabrication of "electroactive cells" using bio-inspired polydopamine-derived carbon nanoparticles for manipulation of cells with electrical stimulation.

Project description:In this study, we report some bio-inspired carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) that exhibit high fluorescence quantum yields, good conductivity, excellent dispersion in aqueous solution, high cell-uptake efficiency, and no cytotoxicity as well. We were inspired by mussels' adhesive components to synthesize polydopamine nanoparticles and then use a carbonization process to prepare fluorescent CNPs. Using some surfactants, we could control the sizes of CNPs and increase their dispersion in water. Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the excitation of CNPs at 360 nm and emission of blue light with a 400-450 nm wavelength. High quantum yields of greater than 20% were also measured. Transmission electron microscopy proved that the addition of surfactants could shrink particles to several nanometers in size. The fluorescent and conductive CNPs were applied to stain L929 fibroblast cells in vitro, finding no harmful effects on cells. Due to the polydopamine-derived CNPs' good electrical, fluorescent, and biocompatible response, we designed a platform to manipulate the cells after endocytosis of conductive CNPs to observe the effects of electrical stimulation on cell attachment, cell growth, and cell death. The nanoparticles endocytosed by cells seemed more easily attracted to the electric field, leading to enhanced cell attachment and growth. Therefore, CNP uptake can increase the attachment of cells onto a conductive plate electrode in a short time (within 10 min at 4°C). When the source of the electric field was changed to rod electrodes in the medium, cells that had been pre-adsorbed onto a non-conductive plate were desorbed from the plate and destroyed. Therefore, addition of CNPs during cell incubation can allow control of cell growth and death via manipulation of electric fields.

Controlled Nutrient Delivery to Pancreatic Islets Using Polydopamine-Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Project description:In the present study, we designed a nanoscale platform for the sustained and controlled delivery of nutrients to pancreatic islets-upon transplantation. Our platform consists of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP), loaded with glutamine (G), an essential amino acid required for islet survival and function, and capped with polydopamine (PD). To control the release of glutamine, various concentrations (0.5 - 2 mg/mL) of PD and incubation times (0.5 – 2 h) with MSNPs were investigated in terms of pharmacological properties and biological functions. After extensive testing, PD-G-MSNPs made using PD coating of 0.5 mg/mL incubated for 0.5 h resulted in the optimal platform to maintain the islet viability and functionality in vitro. Following syngeneic renal sub-capsule islet transplantation in STZ-diabetic mice, PD-G-MSNPs improved the engraftment of pancreatic islets as well as their function, resulting in re-establishment of glycemic control. Collectively, our data shows that PD-G-MSNPs can support transplanted islets by providing them with a controlled and sustained supply of nutrients.

Silver-Composited Polydopamine Nanoparticles: Antibacterial and Antioxidant Potential in Nanocomposite Hydrogels.

Project description:(1) Background: Infections of pathogenic microorganisms can be life-threatening due to delayed healing or even worsening conditions in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The excessive presence of reactive oxygen species in damaged and infected tissues causes a negative inflammatory response, resulting in failed healing. Thus, the development of hydrogels with antibacterial and antioxidant abilities for the treatment of infectious tissues is in high demand. (2) Methods: We herein describe the development of green-synthesized silver-composited polydopamine nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are fabricated by the self-assembly of dopamine as a reducing and antioxidant agent in the presence of silver ions. (3) Results: The facile and green-synthesized AgNPs have a nanoscale diameter with mostly spherical shapes, with various shapes coexisting. The particles are stable in an aqueous solution for up to 4 weeks. In addition, remarkable antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacterial strains and antioxidant capabilities were evaluated by in vitro assays. When incorporated into biomaterial hydrogels at concentrations above 2 mg L-1, the hydrogels produced powerful antibacterial effects. (4) Conclusions: This study describes a biocompatible hydrogel with antibacterial and antioxidant activities from the introduction of facile and green-synthesized AgNPs as a safer tool for the treatment of damaged tissues.

Controlled Synthesis of Platinum and Silver Nanoparticles Using Multivalent Ligands.

Project description:Here, the controlled formation of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using amine-functionalized multivalent ligands are reported. The effects of reaction temperature and ligand multivalency on the growth kinetics, size, and shape of PtNPs and AgNPs were systematically studied by performing a stepwise and a one-step process. PtNPs and AgNPs were prepared in the presence of amine ligands using platinum (II) acetylacetonate and silver (I) acetylacetonate, respectively. The effects of ligands and temperature on the formation of PtNPs were studied using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). For the characterization of AgNPs, additionally, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption was employed. The TEM measurements revealed that PtNPs prepared at different temperatures (160-200 °C, in a stepwise process) are monodispersed and of spherical shape regardless of the ligand multivalency or reaction temperature. In the preparation of PtNPs by the one-step process, ligands affect the shape of the PtNPs, which can be explained by the affinity of the ligands. The TEM and UV-Vis absorption studies on the formation of AgNPs with mono-, di-, and trivalent ligands showed narrower size distributions, while increasing the temperature from 80 °C to 120 °C and with a trivalent ligand in a one-step process.

Silver Nanoparticles Impact Biofilm Communities and Mussel Settlement.

Project description:Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) demonstrating good antimicrobial activity are widely used in many fields. However, the impact of AgNPs on the community structures of marine biofilms that drive biogeochemical cycling processes and the recruitment of marine invertebrate larvae remains unknown. Here, we employed MiSeq sequencing technology to evaluate the bacterial communities of 28-day-old marine biofilms formed on glass, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and PDMS filled with AgNPs and subsequently tested the influence of these marine biofilms on plantigrade settlement by the mussel Mytilus coruscus. AgNP-filled PDMS significantly reduced the dry weight and bacterial density of biofilms compared with the glass and PDMS controls. AgNP incorporation impacted bacterial communities by reducing the relative abundance of Flavobacteriaceae (phylum: Bacteroidetes) and increasing the relative abundance of Vibrionaceae (phylum: Proteobacteria) in 28-day-old biofilms compared to PDMS. The settlement rate of M. coruscus on 28-day-old biofilms developed on AgNPs was lower by >30% compared to settlement on control biofilms. Thus, the incorporation of AgNPs influences biofilm bacterial communities in the marine environment and subsequently inhibits mussel settlement.

Synthesis and catalytic performance of polydopamine supported metal nanoparticles.

Project description:Polydopamine (PDA) is an emerging nature-inspired biopolymer material that possesses many interesting properties including self-assembly and universal adhesion. PDA is also able to form coordination bonds with various metal ions, which can be reduced to metal nanoparticles (NPs) as a result of thermal annealing under protective environment. In this study, PDA has been utilized as a support material to synthesize Pt NPs in an aqueous solution at room temperature. The catalytic performance of the resulting PDA-Pt nanocomposite was evaluated using an electrochemical workstation which showed comparable activity to Pt/C material for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Furthermore, Cu, Ni, and Cu-Ni NPs supported on PDA were also obtained using this strategy with assistance of subsequent thermal annealing. The phase evolution of the NPs was studied by in-situ X-ray diffraction while the morphology of the nanoparticles was investigated using electron microscopic techniques. Preliminary results showed the NPs supported on PDA also possessed HER activity. This work demonstrates that PDA can be utilized as a potential support for synthesis of metal NPs that can be exploited in engineering applications such as catalysts.

Characterization of spatiotemporal electroactive anodic biofilm activity distribution using 1D simulations.

Project description:Activity distribution limitation in electroactive biofilm remains an unclear phenomenon. Some observations using confocal microscopy have shown notable difference between activity close to the anode and activity at the liquid interface. A numerical model is developed in this work to describe biofilm growth and local biomass segregation in electroactive biofilm. Under our model hypothesis, metabolic activity distribution in the biofilm results from the competition between two limiting factors: acetate diffusion and electronic conduction in the biofilm. Influence of inactive biomass fraction (i.e. non-growing biomass fraction) properties (such as conductivity and density) is simulated to show variation in local biomass distribution. Introducing a dependence of effective diffusion to local density leads to a drastic biomass fraction segregation. Increasing density of inactive fraction reduces significantly acetate diffusion in biofilm, enhances biomass activity on the outer layer (liquid/biofilm interface) and maintains inner core largely inactive. High inactive fraction conductivity enhances biomass activity in the outer layer and enhances current production. Hence, investment in extracellular polymer substance (EPS), anchoring redox components, is benefit for biofilm electroactivity. However, under our model hypothesis it means that conductivity should be two order lower than biofilm conductivity reported in order to observe inner core active biomass segregation.
