金的微生物浸出和回收

金是最稳定的元素之一。它常和银,铜以及其他微量元素结合。在化合物中,常见一价和三价金。金的三价化合物较稳定。在碱性条件下,一价金离子可与含有氧和硫的配位基形成可溶于水的复合物,该复合物在岩石圈的表面层易流动。在一定的条件下,金的溶解、迁移和沉淀是由微生物的作用产生的。金在自然界的复杂循环过程中,微生物起着重要的作用。由于微生物和金有密切的关系,在黄金工业中,人们有可能多方面的利用微生物。例如:加拿大温哥华基因探针有限公司研制了探测金矿的微生物探测器^[1];加拿大、南非和美国巳用微生物预处理难浸含砷命矿,提高了金的浸出率^[2]。本文仅就国外用微生物从矿石中直接浸出和从溶液中回收金的研究现状作一简要介绍。

Environmentally benign rapid biosynthesis of extracellular gold nanoparticles using Aspergillus flavus and their cytotoxic and catalytic activities

In this study, the rapid biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by Aspergillus flavus culture supernatant was achieved by reducing 1 mM of chloroauric acid (HAuCl₄) within 2 min at pH 7 and 30 °C. The biosynthesized nanoparticles exhibited maximum absorbance at 545 nm in UVvis spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy exhibited that AuNPs tend to take nearly spherical shapes with an average size of 12 nm. Fourier transform infrared analysis indicated that carboxyl, amine, and hydroxyl groups may participate in the biosynthesis and stabilization of AuNPs. Its zeta potential was found to be -33.01 mV. Energy dispersive X-rays showed a strong and typical beak of gold nanocrystallites with 80.84 % of analyzed sample. X-Ray diffraction spectrum displayed Bragg reflections identical to the gold nanocrystals. The results confirmed that biosynthesized AuNPs are a potent anticancer agent against A549, HepG2 and MCF7 cell lines with IC₅₀ value 53.5, 60.7 and 100 μg/mL, respectively. Crystal violet assay confirmed the cytopathic effects of AuNPs on HepG2 and A549 cell lines. Annexin-V FITC assay and cell cycle confirmed the apoptotic effect and cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase, respectively for A549 cell line. Moreover, the results showed a degradation efficiency of AuNPs to 4-nitrophenol within 16 min.

放线菌中铁载体生物合成机制研究进展

铁载体是由微生物产生,对铁元素具有高亲和性的小分子化合物。这类天然产物所展现的结构多样性引起人们对其生物合成机制的极大兴趣。目前已有研究报道的铁载体生物合成途径主要有2种,一是直接由非核糖体肽合成酶(Nonribosomal peptide synthetases,NRPSs)家族的多酶复合体负责合成,另一种是以不依赖于NRPS(NRPS-independent,NIS)的方式,由一类特殊合成酶家族参与合成。在过去的十多年中,铁载体生物合成成为天然产物生物合成研究领域的热点之一,其中几种依赖于NRPS途径合成的铁载体生物合成机制已得到充分阐明,而对NIS方式合成的铁载体研究也获得了诸多进展。作为放线菌的一类重要次级代谢产物,通过遗传学、化学等手段对放线菌所产生铁载体生物合成途径的遗传学和生物化学研究,能够为发展新的抗菌药物提供契机,同时也能加深我们对这一类生物活性物质形成机制的认识。综述近期该研究方向的进展。     

Recent advances in synthesis and surface modification of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Lanthanide (Ln)-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with appropriate surface modification can be used for a wide range of biomedical applications such as bio-detection, cancer therapy, bio-labeling, fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and drug delivery. The upconversion phenomenon exhibited by Ln-doped UCNPs renders them tremendous advantages in biological applications over other types of fluorescent materials (e.g., organic dyes, fluorescent proteins, gold nanoparticles, quantum dots, and luminescent transition metal complexes) for: (i) enhanced tissue penetration depths achieved by near-infrared (NIR) excitation; (ii) improved stability against photobleaching, photoblinking and photochemical degradation; (iii) non-photodamaging to DNA/RNA due to lower excitation light energy; (iv) lower cytotoxicity; and (v) higher detection sensitivity. Ln-doped UCNPs are therefore attracting increasing attentions in recent years. In this review, we present recent advances in the synthesis of Ln-doped UCNPs and their surface modification, as well as their emerging applications in biomedicine. The future prospects of Ln-doped UCNPs for biomedical applications are also discussed.     

Enhanced cytotoxicity of gold porphyrin complexes after inclusion in cyclodextrin scaffolds adsorbed on polyethyleneimine-coated gold nanoparticles

A new gold nanoparticle-based construct has been designed to hydrophobic drugs delivery into cancer cells. Cyclodextrin scaffolds adsorbed on polyethyleneimine-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNP@PEI@CD) have been used to encapsulate hydrophobic tetrapyrrolic compounds consisting of gold complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl porphyrin (AuTPPCl) and 5-(4-acetoxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl porphyrin (AuTPPOAcCl). These two nanoparticles have been tested for their cytotoxic activities against the two colorectal cancer cell lines HT-29 and HCT-116 and have shown significant increases in toxicity when compared to the corresponding non-vectorized tetrapyrrolic macrocycles.     

Production of gold nanoparticles by electrode-respiring Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms

The goal of this work was to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using electrode-respiring Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms. We found that AuNPs are generated in the extracellular matrix of Geobacter biofilms and have an average particle size of 20 nm. The formation of AuNPs was verified using TEM, FTIR and EDX. We also found that the extracellular substances extracted from electrode-respiring G. sulfurreducens biofilms reduce Au³⁺ to AuNPs. From FTIR spectra, it appears that reduced sugars were involved in the bioreduction and synthesis of AuNPs and that amine groups acted as the major biomolecules involved in binding.     

Hyper-Rayleigh scattering of protein-modified gold nanoparticles

The nonlinear optical properties of protein-modified gold nanoparticles has been studied by the hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) technique. HRS signals from the nanoparticles coated with goat-anti-human IgG have been obtained when pumped with a laser pulse with a wavelength of 1064 nm. The HRS signals of gold nanoparticles with IgG were larger than those of bare gold nanoparticles. This can be explained by a noncentrosymmetric effect. It was also found that the HRS signals from the IgG-coated gold nanoparticles could be greatly increased when the antigen was added due to gold nanoparticle aggregation. Our experiment found that the HRS method could produce a measurable signal with 10 microg/ml antigen added, while the colorimetric method using UV spectrum detection required 100 microg/ml of added antigen. The results show that the HRS measurement of immunogold nanoparticles could become a potential immunoassay in determining small levels of antigen in aqueous samples.
