Resistance of bacterial endospores to treatments, including biocides, heat and radiation is a persistent problem. This study investigates the susceptibility of Bacillus and Clostridium endospores to 405 nm visible light, wavelengths which have been shown to induce inactivation of vegetative bacterial cells. Suspensions of B. cereus endospores were exposed to high‐intensity 405 nm light generated from a light‐emitting diode array and results demonstrate the induction of a sporicidal effect. Up to a 4‐log10 CFU mL?1 reduction in spore population was achieved after exposure to a dose of 1.73 kJ cm?2. Similar inactivation kinetics were demonstrated with B. subtilis, B. megaterium and C. difficile endospores. The doses required for inactivation of endospores were significantly higher than those required for inactivation of B. cereus and C. difficile vegetative cells, where ca 4‐log10 CFU mL?1 reductions were achieved after exposure to doses of 108 and 48 J cm?2, respectively. The significant increase in dose required for inactivation of endospores compared with vegetative cells is unsurprising due to the notorious resilience of these microbial structures. However, the demonstration that visible light of 405 nm can induce a bactericidal effect against endospores is significant, and could have potential for incorporation into decontamination methods for the removal of bacterial contamination including endospores. 相似文献

In the present study, four mitochondria‐specific and two‐photon phosphorescence iridium(III) complexes, Ir1 – Ir4 , were developed for mitochondria imaging in hypoxic tumor cells. The iridium(III) complex has two anthraquinone groups that are hypoxia‐sensitive moieties. The phosphorescence of the iridium(III) complex was quenched by the functions of the intramolecular quinone unit, and it was restored through two‐electron bioreduction under hypoxia. When the probes were reduced by reductase to hydroquinone derivative products under hypoxia, a significant enhancement in phosphorescence intensity was observed under one‐ (λ=405 nm) and two‐photon (λ=720 nm) excitation, with a two‐photon absorption cross section of 76–153 GM at λ=720 nm. More importantly, these probes possessed excellent specificity for mitochondria, which allowed imaging and tracking of the mitochondrial morphological changes in a hypoxic environment over a long period of time. Moreover, the probes can visualize hypoxic mitochondria in 3D multicellular spheroids and living zebrafish through two‐photon phosphorescence imaging. 相似文献

We investigate surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of pyridine–Agn (n = 2–8) complexes by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) methods. In simulated normal Raman scattering (NRS) spectra, profiles of pyridine–Agn (n = 2–8) complexes are analogical with that of isolated pyridine. Nevertheless, calculated pre-SERS spectra are strongly dependent on electronic transition states of new complexes. Wavelengths at 335 nm, 394.8 nm, 316.9 nm and 342.6 nm, which are nearly resonant with pure charge transfer excitation states, are adopted as incident light when simulating pre-SERS spectra for pyridine–Agn (n = 2–8) complexes, respectively. We obtain enhancement factors from 103 to 105 in pre-SERS spectra compared with corresponding NRS spectra. The obvious increase in Raman intensities mainly result from charge transfer resonance Raman enhancement. A charge difference densities (CDDs) methodology is adopted in describing chemical enhancement mechanism. This methodology aims at visualizing charge transfer from Agn (n = 2–8) clusters to pyridine on resonant electronic transition, which is one of the most direct evidences for chemical enhancement mechanism. 相似文献

The spectral effects of a number of endo- and exoproteases to the detergent-solubilized antenna complexes B802–858(sphaeroides like) of strain Rhodopseudomonas acidophila 10050 and B802–824of strain 7050 were analyzed. Upon protease digestion the time course of spectral modification between 250 and 900 nm was recorded. In addition, circular dichroism (CD) signals were measured between 450 and 950 nm. The endoprotease elastase as well as the exoprotease carboxypeptidase A (CP A) altered the B802–858antenna complex, by changing the 858 nm band hypochromically (30-50%) with an additional small hypsochromic shift (3–6nm). A combined carboxypeptidase digestion, e.g. CP A and CP B, yielded a further modification to a complex with absorption bands at 800 nm and ?840 nm (ε? 50% of the 800 nm band). By exposing the isolated B803–824antenna complex to the different proteases no significant spectral change was observed. The B802–858antenna complex, modified by CP A, exhibits a60–70% decrease of the biphasic CD signal in the near infrared. The limited proteolysis experiments provide conclusive experimental evidence that the C-terminal domains of the antenna polypeptides α and β contribute to the formation of (dimeric) bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a molecules absorbing at around 850 nm. This agrees with the hypothesis, based on comparative amino acid sequence analysis, that in purple bacterial antenna complexes the structural requirements (specific amino acids in the vicinity of the BChl molecules, e.g. aromatic amino acids) for batho- and hyperchromicity of BChl molecules apparently reside to a considerable extent in the C-terminal portions of their antenna apoproteins. 相似文献

Evaluation of three subclasses of boron difluoride formazanate complexes bearing o‐, m‐, and p‐anisole N‐aryl substituents (Ar) as readily accessible alternatives to boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes for cell imaging applications is described. While the wavelengths of maximum absorption (λmax) and emission (λem) observed for each subclass of complexes, which differed by their carbon‐bound substituents (R), were similar, the emission quantum yields for 7 a – c (R=cyano) were enhanced relative to 8 a – c (R=nitro) and 9 a – c (R=phenyl). Complexes 7 a – c and 8 a – c were also significantly easier to reduce electrochemically to their radical anion and dianion forms compared to 9 a – c . Within each subclass, the o‐substituted derivatives were more difficult to reduce, had shorter λmax and λem, and lower emission quantum yields than the p‐substituted analogues as a result of sterically driven twisting of the N‐aryl substituents and a decrease in the degree of π‐conjugation. The m‐substituted complexes were the least difficult to reduce and possessed intermediate λmax, λem, and quantum yields. The complexes studied also exhibited large Stokes shifts (82–152 nm, 2143–5483 cm?1). Finally, the utility of complex 7 c (Ar=p‐anisole, R=cyano), which can be prepared for just a few dollars per gram, for fluorescence cell imaging was demonstrated. The use of 7 c and 4′,6‐diamino‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI) allowed for simultaneous imaging of the cytoplasm and nucleus of mouse fibroblast cells. 相似文献

Bacillus mycoides, Bacillus pseudomycoides, Bacillus weihenstephanensis, Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus cereus belong to the B. cereus group. The last three species are characterized by different phenotype features and pathogenicity spectrum, but it has been shown that these species are genetically closely related. The macrorestriction analysis of the genomic DNA with the NotI enzyme was used to generate polymorphism of restriction profiles for 39 food‐borne isolates (B. cereus, B. mycoides) and seven reference strains (B. mycoides, B. thuringiensis, B. weihenstephanensis, and B. cereus). The PFGE method was applied to differentiate the examined strains of the B. cereus group. On the basis of the unweighted pair group method with the arithmetic mean method and Dice coefficient, the strains were divided into five clusters (types A–E), and the most numerous group was group A (25 strains). A total of 21 distinct pulsotypes were observed. The RFLP‐PFGE analysis was successfully used for the differentiation and characterization of B. cereus and B. mycoides strains isolated from different food products. 相似文献

This study was carried out to investigate the interspecies interaction of PapR peptide secreted by Bacillus cereus on production of BSAP-254, an antimicrobial peptide produced by Bacillus subtilis SC-8 isolated from the Korean fermented soybean paste and exhibited narrow antagonistic activity against the B. cereus group, but not against other foodborne pathogens. PapR is a signal peptide that activates PlcR, which is a pleiotropic regulator
controlling the expression of various virulence factors in B. cereus. When B. subtilis SC-8 was co-cultured with B. cereus, it completely inhibited the growth of B. cereus within 12 h, and the rate of BSAP-254 production was increased 34.2% at 12 h. Furthermore, 5 μM of synthetic PapR peptide
added to the culture of B. subtilis SC-8 increased the rate of BSAP-254 production up to 59.7%. The growth of B. subtilis SC-8, however, was not significantly different with or without the addition of PapR. When B. cereus papR mutant was co-cultured with B. subtilis SC-8, the growth of the mutant was not inhibited and the rate of BSAP-254 production was decreased by 45%. 相似文献

The phosphotriesterase (PTE) activity of a series of binuclear and mononuclear zinc(II) complexes and metallo‐β‐lactamase (mβl) from Bacillus cereus was studied. The binuclear complex 1 , which exhibits good mβl activity, shows poor PTE activity. In contrast, complex 2 , a poor mimic of mβl, exhibits much higher activity than 1 . The replacement of Cl? ligands by OH? is important for the high PTE activity of complex 2 because this complex does not show any catalytic activity in methanol. The natural enzyme mβl from B. cereus is also found to be an inefficient catalyst in the hydrolysis of phosphotriesters. These observations indicate that the binding of β‐lactam substrates at the binuclear zinc(II) center is different from that of phosphotriesters. Furthermore, phosphodiesters, the products from the hydrolysis of triesters, significantly inhibit the PTE activity of mβl and its functional mimics. Although the mononuclear complexes 3 and 4 exhibited significant mβl activity, these complexes are found to be almost inactive in the hydrolysis of phosphotriesters. These observations indicate that the elimination of phosphodiesters from the reaction site is important for the PTE activity of zinc(II) complexes. 相似文献

The applications of coordination chemistry to molecular imaging has become a matter of intense research over the past 10 years. In particular, the applications of bis(thiosemicarbazonato) metal complexes in molecular imaging have mainly been focused on compounds with aliphatic backbones due to the in vivo imaging success of hypoxic tumors with PET (positron emission tomography) using 64CuATSM [copper (diacetyl‐bis(N4‐methylthiosemicarbazone))]. This compound entered clinical trials in the US and the UK during the first decade of the 21st century for imaging hypoxia in head and neck tumors. The replacement of the ligand backbone to aromatic groups, coupled with the exocyclic N's functionalization during the synthesis of bis(thiosemicarbazones) opens the possibility to use the corresponding metal complexes as multimodal imaging agents of use, both in vitro for optical detection, and in vivo when radiolabeled with several different metallic species. The greater kinetic stability of acenaphthenequinone bis(thiosemicarbazonato) metal complexes, with respect to that of the corresponding aliphatic ATSM complexes, allows the stabilization of a number of imaging probes, with special interest in “cold” and “hot” Cu(II) and Ga(III) derivatives for PET applications and 111In(III) derivatives for SPECT (single‐photon emission computed tomography) applications, whilst Zn(II) derivatives display optical imaging properties in cells, with enhanced fluorescence emission and lifetime with respect to the free ligands. Preliminary studies have shown that gallium‐based acenaphthenequinone bis(thiosemicarbazonato) complexes are also hypoxia selective in vitro, thus increasing the interest in them as new generation imaging agents for in vitro and in vivo applications. 相似文献

This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial effect of BSAP-254 on Bacillus cereus with the induced stress proteins. The BSAP-254 is an antimicrobial peptide isolated from soybean-fermenting bacteria, Bacillus subtilis SC-8. It had a narrow spectrum of activity against B. cereus group. The growth inhibitory effect of BSAP-254 (50 μg/mL) reduced the population of B. cereus from >108 to 104 colony-forming units per milliliter within 30 min. In B. cereus exposed to BSAP-254, 14 intracellular proteins were differentially expressed as determined by 2-DE coupled with MS. Of the
differentially expressed proteins identified, the stress protein GroEL, which is heat shock protein, was induced in B. cereus exposed to antibacterial peptide. 相似文献

We report herein a simple, inexpensive fabrication methodology of salt microwells, and define the utility of the latter as nanoparticle containers for highly sensitive surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) studies. AFM characterization of Ag and Au loaded salt microwells reveal the ability to contain favorable nanostructures such as nanoparticle dimers, which can significantly enhance the Raman intensity of molecules. By performing diffraction‐limited confocal Raman microscopy on salt microwells, we show high sensitivity and fidelity in the detection of dyes, peptides, and proteins, as a proof of our concept. The SERS limit of detection (accumulation time of 1 s) for rhodamine B and TAT contained in salt mircowells is 10 pM and 1 nM , respectively. The Raman characterization measurements of salt microwells with three different laser lines (532 nm, 632.81 nm, 785 nm) reveal low background intensity and high signal‐to‐noise ratio upon nanoparticle loading, which makes them suitable for enhanced Raman detection. SERS mapping of these sub‐femtoliter containers show spatial confinement of the relevant analyte to a few microns, which make them potential candidates for microscale bioreactors. 相似文献

The first objective of this study was the measurement of physical properties of P(3HB-co-3HV) copolymers with different (hydroxybutyrate)
HB to (hydroxyvalerate) HV ratios produced by Bacillus cereus (TRY2) isolated from activated sludge. The 3HV PHBV copolymers were 0.05, 22.6, 39.2, 54.1, and 69.1 mol%, respectively.
The second objective was to study possible wastewater treatment and production of PHAs at the same time by B. cereus (TRY2) and Pseudomonas spp. (TOB17) (both were isolated from activated sludge), recombinant Bacillus DH5α, and a combination of the above three bacteria. The results were satisfactory; the maximum COD and TOC of the sewage sludge
reduced were 53.5% and 67.5%, respectively. 相似文献

Water‐dispersible and luminescent gadolinium oxide (GO) nanoparticles (NPs) were designed and synthesized for potential dual‐modal biological imaging. They were obtained by capping gadolinium oxide nanoparticles with a fluorescent glycol‐based conjugated carboxylate (H L ). The obtained nanoparticles (GO‐ L ) show long‐term colloidal stability and intense blue fluorescence. In addition, L can sensitize the luminescence of europium(III) through the so‐called antenna effect. Thus, to extend the spectral ranges of emission, europium was introduced into L‐ modified gadolinium oxide nanoparticles. The obtained EuIII‐doped particles (Eu:GO‐ L ) can provide visible red emission, which is more intensive than that without L capping. The average diameter of the monodisperse modified oxide cores is about 4 nm. The average hydrodynamic diameter of the L ‐modified nanoparticles was estimated to be about 13 nm. The nanoparticles show effective longitudinal water proton relaxivity. The relaxivity values obtained for GO‐ L and Eu:GO‐ L were r1=6.4 and 6.3 s?1 mM ?1 with r2/r1 ratios close to unity at 1.4 T. Longitudinal proton relaxivities of these nanoparticles are higher than those of positive contrast agents based on gadolinium complexes such as Gd‐DOTA, which are commonly used for clinical magnetic resonance imaging. Moreover, these particles are suitable for cellular imaging and show good biocompatibility. 相似文献

Dual‐photosensitized stable EuΙΙΙ and TbΙΙΙ complexes, namely [Eu(dpq)(tfnb)3] ( 1 ) and [Tb(dpq)(tfnb)3] ( 2 ), in which dpq=dipyrido[3,2‐d:2′,3′‐f]quinoxaline and Htfnb=4,4,4‐trifluoro‐1‐(2‐napthyl)‐1,3‐butanedione, were designed as bioimaging and light‐responsive therapeutic agents. Their X‐ray structures, photophysical properties, biological interactions, photoinduced DNA damage, photocytotoxicity, and cellular uptake properties were studied. Discrete mononuclear complexes adopt an eight‐coordinated {LnN2O6} distorted square antiprism geometry with bidentate N,N‐donor dpq and O,O‐donor tfnb ligands. The designed probes have the advantage of dual‐sensitizing antennae (dpq, Htfnb) to modulate their desirable optical properties for cellular imaging and light‐responsive intracellular damage. The remarkable photostability, absence of inner‐sphere water (q<1), and longer excited‐state lifetimes of the complexes make them suitable as cellular‐imaging probes. The dpq 3T state is well located energetically to allow efficient energy transfer (ET) to the emissive 5D0 and 5D4 states of EuΙΙΙ and TbΙΙΙ. This leads to higher quantum yields (φ=0.15–0.20) in aqueous media and makes these compounds suitable cellular‐imaging probes. The complexes display significant binding ability toward DNA and bovine serum albumin (K≈105 m ?1). They effectively cleave supercoiled DNA to its nicked circular form at λ=365 nm through photoredox pathways. The cellular internalization studies showed cytosolic and nuclear localization. The remarkable photocytotoxicity of these probes offers a strategy towards developing photoresponsive LnΙΙΙ probes as cellular‐imaging and phototherapeutic agents. 相似文献

We developed and employed a new geometrical structure of dielectric barrier discharge in atmospheric pressure for bacterial
broad spectrum sterilization. We utilized a plasma source having an AC power supply at 50 HZ and 5,400 V (rms value). We prepared
suspensions of the Gram-negative bacteria species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and a Gram-positive of Bacillus cereus with Luria–Bertani broth media up to OD600 nm = 0.25 of McFarland standard. Afterglow of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma treated these suspensions. The influence
of the atmospheric plasma afterglow on the species was assayed in different time durations 5, 10, and 15 min. The spectroscopic
results of this investigation indicated that the survival reduction of the species can reach to 100% for P. aeruginosa in an exposure time of 10 min, E. coli and B. cereus in an exposure time of 15 min. 相似文献

The current study reports the synthesis of a curcumin–silver(I) complex and its preliminary tests against four bacterial strains viz. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus cereus using agar well diffusion method. The results were compared with curcumin by testing it in parallel with the sample. Curcumin showed zones of inhibition against all tested strains of bacteria. Among all bacterial strains, S. aureus was the most sensitive to curcumin with zone of inhibition of 12.2 mm. However, the curcumin–Ag(I) complex did not show the expected enhanced activity against all bacteria. This is perhaps due to the replacement of curcumin phenolic protons by silver ions which might have suppressed the antibacterial property of curcumin. The current research findings suggest that while synthesizing curcumin–metal complexes, the phenolic heads may either be left unaltered or need to be replaced by better substituents than hydroxy groups. Based on the current findings, biologically enhanced models have been provided as future recommendations. 相似文献

Fluorescence imaging is a promising tool for the visualization of biomolecules in living systems and there is great demand for new fluorescent dyes that absorb and emit in the near‐infrared (NIR) region. Herein, we constructed three new fluorescent dyes ( NBC dyes) based on keto‐benzo[h]coumarin ( k‐BC ) and benzopyrilium salts. These dyes showed large Stokes shifts (>100 nm) and NIR emission (>800 nm). The relationship between the structures and optical properties of these dyes was further investigated by using density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6‐3G level of theory. Fluorescence images indicated that the fabricated dyes exhibited good photostability and low cytotoxicity and, thus, have potential applications as imaging agents in living cells and animals. 相似文献

Multiplex optical detection in live cells is challenging due to overlapping signals and poor signal-to-noise associated with some chemical reporters. To address this, the application of spectral phasor analysis to stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy for unmixing three bioorthogonal Raman probes within cells is reported. Triplex detection of a metallacarborane using the B−H stretch at 2480–2650 cm−1, together with a bis-alkyne and deuterated fatty acid can be achieved within the cell-silent region of the Raman spectrum. When coupled to imaging in the high-wavenumber region of the cellular Raman spectrum, nine discrete regions of interest can be spectrally unmixed from the hyperspectral SRS dataset, demonstrating a new capability in the toolkit of multiplexed Raman imaging of live cells. 相似文献

The increase of bacterial resistance demands rapid and accurate diagnosis of bacterial infections. Biosurface-induced supramolecular assembly for diagnosis and therapy has received little attention in detecting bacterial infections. Herein we present a dual fluorescent-nuclear probe based on self-assembly of vancomycin (Van) on Gram-positive bacteria for imaging bacterial infection. A Van- and rhodamine-modified peptide derivative (Rho-FF-Van), as the imaging agent, binds to the terminal peptide of the methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and self-assembles to form nanoaggregates on the surface of MRSA. In an in vivo myositis model, Rho-FF-Van results in a significant increased fluorescence signal at the MRSA infected site. Radiolabeled with iodine-125, Rho-FF-Van shows strong radioactive signal in the MRSA-infected lungs in a murine model. This novel dual fluorescent and nuclear probe promises a new way for in vivo imaging of bacterial infections. 相似文献

Theranostic agents are emerging multifunctional molecules capable of simultaneous therapy and diagnosis of diseases. We found that platinum(II)–gadolinium(III) complexes with the formula [{Pt(NH3)2Cl}2GdL](NO3)2 possess such properties. The Gd center is stable in solution and the cytoplasm, whereas the Pt centers undergo ligand substitution in cancer cells. The Pt units interact with DNA and significantly promote the cellular uptake of Gd complexes. The cytotoxicity of the Pt–Gd complexes is comparable to that of cisplatin at high concentrations (≥0.1 mM ), and their proton relaxivity is higher than that of the commercial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent Gd–DTPA. T1‐weighted MRI on B6 mice demonstrated that these complexes can reveal the accumulation of platinum drugs in vivo. Their cytotoxicity and imaging capabilities make the Pt–Gd complexes promising theranostic agents for cancer treatment. 相似文献
