DBT degradation enhancement by decorating Rhodococcus erythropolis IGST8 with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles

Biodesulfurization (BDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) was carried out by Rhodococcus erythropolis IGST8 decorated with magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, synthesized in‐house by a chemical method, with an average size of 45–50 nm, in order to facilitate the post‐reaction separation of the bacteria from the reaction mixture. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the magnetic nanoparticles substantially coated the surfaces of the bacteria. It was found that the decorated cells had a 56% higher DBT desulfurization activity in basic salt medium (BSM) compared to the nondecorated cells. We propose that this is due to permeabilization of the bacterial membrane, facilitating the entry and exit of reactant and product, respectively. Model experiments with black lipid membranes (BLM) demonstrated that the nanoparticles indeed enhance membrane permeability. Biotechnol.

DBT desulfurization by decorating Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 using magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles in a bioreactor

Today, crude oil is an important source of energy and environmental contamination due to the continued use of petroleum products is a matter or urgent concern. In this work, two technological platforms, namely, the use of a robust desulfurizing bacteria and the use of nanotechnology to decorate the surface of the bacteria with nanoparticles (NP), were combined to enhance biodesulfurization (BDS). BDS is an ecologically friendly method for desulfurizing petroleum products while avoiding damage to the hydrocarbons due to the high temperatures normally associated with physical desulfurization methods. First, a bacterium known to be a good organism for desulfurization (Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8) was employed in cell culture to remove a recalcitrant sulfur molecule from a common sulfur‐containing compound found in crude petroleum products (dibenzothiophene). 2‐Hydroxybiphenyl (2‐HBP) produced as a consequence of the BDS of dibenzothiophene was determined using Gibbs’ assay. The synthesized NP were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The field emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy images showed the size of the NP is 7–8 nm. The decorated cells had a long lag phase, but the growth continued until 148 h (at OD₆₀₀ = 3.408) while the noncoated bacteria grow until 96 h before entering the stationary phase at OD₆₀₀ = 2.547. Gibbs’ assay results showed that production of 2‐HBP by decorated cells was 0.210 mM at t = 148 h, while 2‐HBP production by nondecorated cells was 0.182 mM at t = 96 h. Finally, the experiments were repeated in a fermenter.     

Magnetic core/shell Fe3O4/Au nanoparticles for studies of quinolones binding to protein by fluorescence spectroscopy

Magnetic core/shell Fe₃O₄/Au nanoparticles were used in the determination of drug binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA) using a fluorescence spectroscopic method. The binding constants and number of binding sites for protein with drugs were calculated using the Scatchard equation. Because of their superparamagnetic and biocompatible characteristics, magnetic core/shell Fe₃O₄/Au nanoparticles served as carrier proteins for fixing proteins. After binding of the protein to a drug, the magnetic core/shell Fe₃O₄/Au nanoparticles–protein–drug complex was separated from the free drug using an applied magnetic field. The free drug concentration was obtained directly by fluorescence spectrometry and the proteins did not influence the drug determination. So, the achieved number of binding sites should be reliable. The binding constant and site number for ciprofloxacin (CPFX) binding to BSA were 2.055 × 10⁵ L/mol and 31.7, and the corresponding values for norfloxacin (NOR) binding to BSA were 1.383 × 10⁵ L/mol and 38.8. Based on the achieved results, a suitable method was proposed for the determination of binding constants and the site number for molecular interactions. The method was especially suitable for studies on the interactions of serum albumin with the active ingredients of Chinese medicine. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fe3O4对施氏假单胞菌反硝化过程的影响

生物反硝化是目前废水深度处理中应用最为广泛的硝酸盐氮处理技术,但该方法一般停留时间较长,在冬季因低温处理效果欠佳,因此有必要开发反硝化强化技术。以施氏假单胞菌Pseudomonas stutzeri为研究对象,考察了不同投加量下Fe3O4对P. stutzeri反硝化过程的影响。结果显示当Fe3O4投加量由0 mg/L增至4 000 mg/L时,硝酸盐氮最大比降解速率由18.0 h–1增加至23.7 h–1,体系中的总蛋白含量以及细菌体内的铁含量显著增加。RT-qPCR和非标记 (Label-free) 定量蛋白组学分析表明,投加4 000 mg/L Fe3O4体系中的P. stutzeri,其反硝化功能基因napA、narJ、nirB、norR、nosZ表达量分别提高了55.7%、24.9%、24.5%、36.5%、120%,对应反硝化还原酶Nap、Nar、Nir、Nor、Nos表达量提高了85.0%、147%、16.5%、47.1%、95.9%。对比体系中“游离细菌”和“Fe3O4粘附细菌”,发现二者的反硝化功能基因以及反硝化相关酶没有显著差别;而Fe3O4粘附细菌电子传递相关蛋白表达量有所提高,说明了Fe3O4通过与细菌直接接触促进其生长代谢,导致体系中细菌总量的增加,从而提高反硝化速率。该结果可为反硝化强化技术的开发提供理论支撑。     

Oxidative-damage effect of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on mouse hepatic and brain cells in vivo

To assess the biological safety of Fe3O4 nanoparticles （NPs）, the oxidative-damage effect of these NPs was studied. Twenty-five Kunming mice were exposed to Fe3O4 NPs by intraperitoneai injection daily for 1 week at doses of 0, 10, 20, and 40 mg.kg1. Five Kunming mice were also injected with 40 mg.kg 1 ordinary Fe3O4 particles under the same physiological conditions. Biomarkers of reactive oxygen species （ROS）, glutathione （GSH）, and malondialdehyde （MDA） in the hepatic and brain tissues were detected. Results showed that no significant difference in oxidative damage existed at concentrations lower than 10 mg.kg i for NPs compared with the control group. Fe3O4 NP concentration had obvious dose-effect relationships （P〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01） with ROS level, GSH content, and MDA content in mouse hepatic and brain tissues at〉20 mg.kg 1 concentrations. To some extent, ordinary Fe3O4 particles with 40mg.kg -1 concentration also affected hepatic and brain tissues in mice. The biological effect was similar to Fe3O4 NPs at 10 mg. kg-1 concentration. Thus, Fe3O4 NPs had significant damage effects on the antioxidant defense system in the hepatic and brain tissues of mice, whereas ordinary Fe3O4 had less influence than Fe3O4 NPs at the same concentration.     

Colorimetric detection of gallic acid based on the enhanced oxidase‐like activity of floral‐like magnetic Fe3O4@MnO2

In this study, a colorimetric method was developed for rapid and sensitive determination of gallic acid (GA) by using floral‐like magnetic Fe₃O₄@MnO₂ composite material with enhanced oxidase‐like activity. Fe₃O₄@MnO₂ composite material is able to oxidize 3,3′,5,5′‐tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to a blue product (oxTMB) with apparent color change and absorbance at 652 nm. GA can reduce the oxTMB yielding a fading blue color. Based on these results, a technique is proposed to detect GA quantitatively and qualitatively with UV–vis spectroscopy and bare eyes. A low detection limit of 0.105 μM and a detection range of 0.01 to 15 μM were obtained with UV–vis spectroscopy. This methodology possesses high potential for application in determination of GA.     

Promising insights into the kosmotropic effect of magnetic nanoparticles on proteins: The pivotal role of protein corona formation

Increasing concerns about biosafety of nanoparticles (NPs) has raised the need for detailed knowledge of NP interactions with biological molecules especially proteins. Herein, the concentration-dependent effect of magnetic NPs (MNPs) on bovine serum albumin and hen egg white lysozyme was explored. The X-ray diffraction patterns, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering measurements together with scanning electron microscopy images were employed to characterize MNPs synthesized through coprecipitation method. Then, we studied the behavior of two model proteins with different surface charges and structural properties on interaction with Fe₃O₄. A thorough investigation of protein–MNP interaction by the help of intrinsic fluorescence at different experimental conditions revealed that affinity of proteins for MNPs is strongly affected by the similarity of protein and MNP surface charges. MNPs exerted structure-making kosmotropic effect on both proteins under a concentration threshold; however, binding strength was found to determine the extent of stabilizing effect as well as magnitude of the concentration threshold. Circular dichroism spectra showed that proteins with less resistance to conformational deformations are more prone to secondary structure changes upon adsorption on MNPs. By screening thermal aggregation of proteins in the presence of Fe₃O₄, it was also found that like chemical stability, thermal stability is influenced to a higher extent in more strongly bound proteins. Overall, this report not only provides an integrated picture of protein–MNP interaction but also sheds light on the molecular mechanism underling this process.
