Functionalizing bacterial cell surfaces with a phage protein.
Functionalization of bacterial cell surfaces has the potential to introduce new activities by chemical modification. Here we show that a bacteriophage-receptor complex can be used to functionalize the surface of two Gram-negative proteobacteria, Escherichia coli and Ralstonia eutropha with CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles. This work highlights the potential for using microbe-phage interactions to generat...
متن کاملSelf-reproduction of supramolecular giant vesicles combined with the amplification of encapsulated DNA.
The construction of a protocell from a materials point of view is important in understanding the origin of life. Both self-reproduction of a compartment and self-replication of an informational substance have been studied extensively, but these processes have typically been carried out independently, rather than linked to one another. Here, we demonstrate the amplification of DNA (encapsulated ...
متن کاملBiosensors for whole-cell bacterial detection.
Bacterial pathogens are important targets for detection and identification in medicine, food safety, public health, and security. Bacterial infection is a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In spite of the availability of antibiotics, these infections are often misdiagnosed or there is an unacceptable delay in diagnosis. Current methods of bacterial detection rely upon laborator...
متن کاملAsymmetrical Polyhedral Configuration of Giant Vesicles Induced by Orderly Array of Encapsulated Colloidal Particles
Giant vesicles (GVs) encapsulating colloidal particles by a specific volume fraction show a characteristic configuration under a hypertonic condition. Several flat faces were formed in GV membrane with orderly array of inner particles. GV shape changed from the spherical to the asymmetrical polyhedral configuration. This shape deformation was derived by entropic interaction between inner partic...
متن کاملBiosensors for Bacterial Detection
Bacteria are present widely in various environments, such as soils, marine and estuarine water, intestinal tract of animals, and waste water. Normally, the bacteria are not visible to human eyes due to their small size of usually a few micrometers in length, with the shapes of spheres, rods or spirals. The presence of bacteria can be harmful to human/animal health, food safety, environmental co...
