Enhanced hydrogenation catalyst synthesized by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans exposed to a radio frequency magnetic field.

ABSTRACT: Desulfovibrio desulfuricans reduces Pd(II) to Pd(0)-nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) which are catalytically active in 2-pentyne hydrogenation. To make Pd-NPs, resting cells are challenged with Pd(II) ions (uptake), followed by addition of electron donor to promote bioreduction of cell-bound Pd(II) to Pd(0) (bio-Pd). Application of radiofrequency (RF) radiation to prepared 5 wt% bio-Pd catalyst (60 W power, 60 min) increased the hydrogenation rate by 70% with no adverse impact on selectivity to cis-2-pentene. Such treatment of a 5 wt% Pd/carbon commercial catalyst did not affect the conversion rate but reduced the selectivity. Lower-dose RF radiation (2-8 W power, 20 min) was applied to the bacteria at various stages before and during synthesis of the bio-scaffolded Pd-NPs. The reaction rate (μ mol 2-pentyne converted s^-1 ) was increased by ~threefold by treatment during bacterial catalyst synthesis. Application of RF radiation (2 or 4 W power) to resting cells prior to Pd(II) exposure affected the catalyst made subsequently, increasing the reaction rate by 50% as compared to untreated cells, while nearly doubling selectivity for cis 2-pentene. The results are discussed with respect to published and related work which shows altered dispersion of the Pd-NPs made following or during RF exposure.

Characterization of intracellular palladium nanoparticles synthesized by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and Bacillus benzeovorans.

Project description:Early studies have focused on the synthesis of palladium nanoparticles within the periplasmic layer or on the outer membrane of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and on the S-layer protein of Bacillus sphaericus. However, it has remained unclear whether the synthesis of palladium nanoparticles also takes place in the bacterial cell cytoplasm. This study reports the use of high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy with a high-angle annular dark field detector and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry attachment to investigate the intracellular synthesis of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs). We show the intracellular synthesis of Pd NPs within cells of two anaerobic strains of D. desulfuricans and an aerobic strain of B. benzeovorans using hydrogen and formate as electron donors. The Pd nanoparticles were small and largely monodispersed, between 0.2 and 8 nm, occasionally from 9 to 12 nm with occasional larger nanoparticles. With D. desulfuricans NCIMB 8307 (but not D. desulfuricans NCIMB 8326) and with B. benzeovorans NCIMB 12555, the NPs were larger when made at the expense of formate, co-localizing with phosphate in the latter, and were crystalline, but were amorphous when made with H2, with no phosphorus association. The intracellular Pd nanoparticles were mainly icosahedrons with surfaces comprising {111} facets and about 5 % distortion when compared with that of bulk palladium. The particles were more concentrated in the cell cytoplasm than the cell wall, outer membrane, or periplasm. We provide new evidence for synthesis of palladium nanoparticles within the cytoplasm of bacteria, which were confirmed to maintain cellular integrity during this synthesis.

Cytochrome c(3) mutants of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:To explore the physiological role of tetraheme cytochrome c(3) in the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20, the gene encoding the preapoprotein was cloned, sequenced, and mutated by plasmid insertion. The physical analysis of the DNA from the strain carrying the integrated plasmid showed that the insertion was successful. The growth rate of the mutant on lactate with sulfate was comparable to that of the wild type; however, mutant cultures did not achieve the same cell densities. Pyruvate, the oxidation product of lactate, served as a poor electron source for the mutant. Unexpectedly, the mutant was able to grow on hydrogen-sulfate medium. These data support a role for tetraheme cytochrome c(3) in the electron transport pathway from pyruvate to sulfate or sulfite in D. desulfuricans G20.

Efficient DNA ligation by selective heating of DNA ligase with a radio frequency alternating magnetic field.

Project description:We present a simple method for efficient DNA ligation utilizing the heat generation of ferromagnetic particles subjected to an ac magnetic field. We carry out the ligation of DNA fragments with cohesive ends using T4 DNA ligase immobilized on the surface of ferromagnetic particles. When a radio frequency alternating magnetic field is applied, ferromagnetic particles dissipate heat and DNA ligase on the particles is selectively heated up and activated with little influence on the annealing of DNA ends, as a result of which the ligation efficiency increases. We show that the ligation efficiency increases with an increase in the field amplitude.

Reconfigurable radio-frequency arbitrary waveforms synthesized in a silicon photonic chip.

Project description:Photonic methods of radio-frequency waveform generation and processing can provide performance advantages and flexibility over electronic methods due to the ultrawide bandwidth offered by the optical carriers. However, bulk optics implementations suffer from the lack of integration and slow reconfiguration speed. Here we propose an architecture of integrated photonic radio-frequency generation and processing and implement it on a silicon chip fabricated in a semiconductor manufacturing foundry. Our device can generate programmable radio-frequency bursts or continuous waveforms with only the light source, electrical drives/controls and detectors being off-chip. It modulates an individual pulse in a radio-frequency burst within 4?ns, achieving a reconfiguration speed three orders of magnitude faster than thermal tuning. The on-chip optical delay elements offer an integrated approach to accurately manipulating individual radio-frequency waveform features without constraints set by the speed and timing jitter of electronics, and should find applications ranging from high-speed wireless to defence electronics.

One-Step High-Temperature-Synthesized Single-Atom Platinum Catalyst for Efficient Selective Hydrogenation.

Project description:Although single-atom catalysts significantly improve the atom utilization efficiency, the multistep preparation procedures are complicated and difficult to control. Herein, we demonstrate that one-step in situ synthesis of the single-atom Pt anchored in single-crystal MoC (Pt1/MoC) by using facile and controllable arc-discharge strategy under extreme conditions. The high temperature (up to 4000°C) provides the sufficient energy for atom dispersion and overall stability by forming thermodynamically favourable metal-support interactions. The high-temperature-stabilized Pt1/MoC exhibits outstanding performance and excellent thermal stability as durable catalyst for selective quinoline hydrogenation. The initial turnover frequency of 3710 h-1 is greater than those of previously reported samples by an order of magnitude under 2 MPa H2 at 100°C. The catalyst also shows broad scope activity toward hydrogenation containing unsaturated groups of C=C, C=N, and C=O. The facile, one-step, and fast arc-discharge method provides an effective avenue for single-atom catalyst fabrication that is conventionally challenging.

A four-iron ferredoxin from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:Ferredoxin from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans was isolated, purified and crystallized. It contains four iron atoms and four sulphido or ;acid-labile' sulphur atoms for a molecule of 6000 daltons. The absorption spectrum in the u.v.-visible region and the electron-paramagnetic-resonance signals of the reduced protein are similar to those observed for other four-iron ferredoxins. The amino acid composition is different from that of Desulfovibrio gigas ferredoxin. The redox potential of -0.33V at pH7.0 was determined by dye techniques.

The reductive glycine pathway allows autotrophic growth of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:Six CO2 fixation pathways are known to operate in photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic microorganisms. Here, we describe chemolithoautotrophic growth of the sulphate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (strain G11) with hydrogen and sulphate as energy substrates. Genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic analyses reveal that D. desulfuricans assimilates CO2 via the reductive glycine pathway, a seventh CO2 fixation pathway. In this pathway, CO2 is first reduced to formate, which is reduced and condensed with a second CO2 to generate glycine. Glycine is further reduced in D. desulfuricans by glycine reductase to acetyl-P, and then to acetyl-CoA, which is condensed with another CO2 to form pyruvate. Ammonia is involved in the operation of the pathway, which is reflected in the dependence of the autotrophic growth rate on the ammonia concentration. Our study demonstrates microbial autotrophic growth fully supported by this highly ATP-efficient CO2 fixation pathway.
