Design of a well-defined poly(dimethylsiloxane)-based microbial nanoculture system

چکیده

Organosilanes contain hydrocarbon-like backbones, allowing them to react with silicone-based agents in the presence of a catalyst and polymerize into membranes tunable transport mechanical properties. Owing their hydrophobicity, Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) membranes, more particularly, Sylgard™ 184, have been used for applications including drug delivery, gas separation, microfluidics fabrication. However, complex composition material its ability leach out uncured oligomers make functionalization usage challenging many biological applications. This article presents design novel culture system generated using vinyl-terminated PDMS Methylhydromethylsiloxanes-Dimethylsiloxane copolymers as sole building blocks shell membrane. The nanoliter microbial that is referred “nanoculture” serves grow study dynamics microbes encapsulated semipermeable membranes. properties are investigated determine nanocultures withstand high shear stress while maintaining essential communication growth. present lays foundation could be functionalized on-demand achieve cultivation microorganisms environments other than laboratory conditions.

Microbial Nanoculture as an Artificial Microniche

Microbes self-organize in microcolonies while transitioning to a sessile form within a protective biofilm matrix. To enable the detailed study of microbial dynamics within these microcolonies, new sessile culture systems are needed that sequester cells and mimic their complex growth conditions and interactions. We present a new nanoliter-scale sessile culture system that is easily implemented v...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
