Effect of High Intensity Blue Light on Fusobacterium nucleatum Membrane Integrity

Oral malodour is considered to be caused mainly by the production of volatile sulfide compounds (VSC) by anaerobic gram-negative oral bacteria. Previous studies showed that these bacteria were susceptible to blue light phototoxicity mediated by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present study, we tested the effect of blue light on the integrity Fusobacterium nucleatum's membrane, cellular proteins and DNA. Bacterial samples were exposed to high intensity blue light for 0, 70, 140 and 280 s (i.e. fluences of 0, 96, 192 and 384 J cm⁻², respectively). Following light exposure, bacterial samples were examined for membrane damage using fluorescence microscopy, intra-cellular protein analysis using electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and DNA fragmentation using ultra–filtration. Results showed that the increasing exposure of bacterial samples to blue light caused increased membrane permeability concomitant with a reduction in intra-cellular proteins and DNA fragments content. These results suggest that membrane damage is the main effect of high intensity blue light exposure on malodour producing bacteria.     

Effects of Supplementary Blue and UV-A LED Lights on Morphology and Phytochemicals of Brassicaceae Baby-Leaves

Brassicaceae baby-leaves are good source of functional phytochemicals. To investigate how Chinese kale and pak-choi baby-leaves in response to different wavebands of blue (430 nm and 465 nm) and UV-A (380 nm and 400 nm) LED, the plant growth, glucosinolates, antioxidants, and minerals were determined. Both agronomy traits and phytochemical contents were significantly affected. Blue and UV-A light played a predominant role in increasing the plant biomass and morphology, as well as the contents of antioxidant compounds (vitamin C, vitamin E, phenolics, and individual flavonols), the antioxidant activity (DPPH and FRAP), and the total glucosinolates accumulation. In particular, four light wavebands significantly decreased the content of progoitrin, while 400 nm UV-A light and 430 nm blue light were efficient in elevating the contents of sinigrin and glucobrassicin in Chinese kale. Meanwhile, 400 nm UV-A light was able to increase the contents of glucoraphanin, sinigrin, and glucobrassicin in pak-choi. From the global view of heatmap, blue lights were more efficient in increasing the yield and phytochemical levels of two baby-leaves.

Development of Materials for Blue Organic Light Emitting Devices

The success of organic light emitting diodes (OLED) has been witnessed by the commercialization of this technology for manufacturing the vivid and colorful displays used in our daily life now. The prospective growth of OLED technology on display industry will be optimistic. Over the last three decades, many different approaches on material and device designs have been implemented for improving the efficiency and stability of OLED devices. These efforts install main cornerstones to support the great achievement of OLED technology. However, until now, the performance and stability of blue OLEDs still have some concerns. This troublesome issue should be totally conquered before the large‐scale manufactures dominated over other display technologies, particularly liquid crystal‐based displays, takes place. Though significant progress has already been made to achieve high performance and long lifetime blue OLEDs, this topic still remains as one of the hot researches in OLEDs. We have been working on this area for about two decades and made some notable contributions. Consequently, in this personal account we have outlined our efforts to obtain better performing blue OLEDs by utilizing a range of emitters based on fluorescence, phosphorescence, delayed fluorescence and exciplex systems. We have also developed some novel host materials for blue OLEDs, which are worth mentioning in this account.     

Effects of Calmodulin Inhibitors and Blue Light on Rhythmic Movement of Robinia pseudoacacia Leaflets

Abstract— The effect of several calmodulin (CAM) antagonists, blue light and an intracellular calcium inhibitor, on the circadian rhythm of Robinia pseudoacacia leaflet movement has been studied. The CAM antagonists, chlorpromazine (CPZ), trifluoperazine (TFP), calmidazolium and N -(6-aminohexyI)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W₇) shifted the phase of the circadian rhythmic movement while W₅, an inactive analogue of W₇, had no effect. Two hour pulses of calmidazolium (10–50 μ M ) gave rise to a phase-response curve with maximum advances (up to 9 h) at circadian time (CT) 6 and maximum delays (up to 7 h) at CT 22. No effect was found on transition from subjective day to subjective night and vice versa. The TFP (10–50 μ M ), applied as 2 h pulses during the circadian cycle, shifted the phase of the circadian leaflet movement and also produced maximum advances in the middle of subjective day. Two hour blue light pulses shifted the phase of leaflet rhythmic movement. The phase-response curve obtained showed maximum advances (up to 5 h) in the middle of subjective day and maximum delays on transition from subjective day to subjective night. Two hour pulses of 50 μ M 8-(diethylamino)octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hypochloride (TMB-8), an intracellular calcium inhibitor, caused the same type of phase-response curve, with maximum advances and delays occurring at the same time as those produced by blue light. These results indicate that CAM might be involved in controlling the circadian oscillator that drives Robinia leaflet movement. The relationship between CAM and calcium with red and blue light is discussed.     

Blue Light Emitting Defective Nanocrystals Composed of Earth-Abundant Elements

Copper-based ternary (I–III–VI) chalcogenide nanocrystals (NCs) are compositionally-flexible semiconductors that do not contain lead (Pb) or cadmium (Cd). Cu-In-S NCs are the dominantly studied member of this important materials class and have been reported to contain optically-active defect states. However, there are minimal reports of In-free compositions that exhibit efficient photoluminescence (PL). Here, we report a novel solution-phase synthesis of ≈4 nm defective nanocrystals (DNCs) composed of copper, aluminum, zinc, and sulfur with ≈20 % quantum yield and an attractive PL maximum of 450 nm. Extensive spectroscopic characterization suggests the presence of highly localized electronic states resulting in reasonably fast PL decays (≈1 ns), large vibrational energy spacing, small Stokes shift, and temperature-independent PL linewidth and PL lifetime (between room temperature and ≈5 K). Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest PL transitions arise from defects within a CuAl₅S₈ crystal lattice, which supports the experimental observation of highly-localized states. The results reported here provide a new material with unique optoelectronic characteristics that is an important analog to well-explored Cu-In-S NCs.     

Neutral Serine Protease from Penicillium italicum. Purification,Biochemical Characterization,and Use for Antioxidative Peptide Preparation from Scorpaena notata Muscle

In the present study, purification and properties of an extracellular neutral serine protease from the fungus Penicillium italicum and its potential application as an antioxidant peptides producer are reported. The protease was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, diethylaminoethanol (DEAE)-Sepharose ion exchange chromatography, and TSK-HPLC gel filtration with a 10.2-fold increase in specific activity and 25.8 % recovery. The purified enzyme appeared as single protein band with a molecular mass of 24 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The optimum pH and temperature for the proteolytic activity were pH 7.0 and 50 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable in the pH range of 6.0–9.0. The protease was activated by divalent cations such as Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺. Complete inhibition of the purified enzyme by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride confirmed that the protease was of serine-type. The purified enzyme revealed high stability and relatively broad specificity. Scorpaena notata muscle protein hydrolysates prepared using purified serine protease (protease from P. italicum (Prot-Pen)) showed good in vitro antioxidative activities. The antioxidant activities of Scorpaena muscle protein hydrolyzed by Prot-Pen (SMPH-PP) were evaluated using various antioxidant assays: 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, ferrous chelating activity, and DNA nicking assay. SMPH-PP showed varying degrees of antioxidant activity and almost the same strongest protection against hydroxyl radical induced DNA breakage.     

Killing Bacterial Spores with Blue Light: When Innate Resistance Meets the Power of Light

This article is a highlight of the study by Maclean et al. in this issue of Photochemistry and Photobiology describing the sporicidal effects 405 nm visible light alone on endospores of the Clostridium and Bacillus genera. 1.73 kJ cm^?2 was capable of reducing endospore colony‐forming units by up to 4‐log₁₀. These findings have never been previously demonstrated and may be incorporated into decontamination methods that span medical, military and food preparatory applications.     

Effect of laser and LED on enzymatic production of ceramide

An enzyme (Phospholipase C Type I from Clostridium perfringens) was exposed to 0-810Jcm(-2) of energy using laser light at wavelengths 808, 532, 1064 and 1342nm and two LED light sources at wavelengths 810 and 640nm. Enzyme responses were evaluated by measuring ceramide concentration using high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 17, 24h after irradiation. The duration of effect was evaluated from the experimental data. The results show that enzyme activity can be increased by using both laser and LED sources whose wavelength is located within a certain range. The effect depends on the energy and wavelength of the light. The increase in enzyme activity continued for about 4h after irradiation. This study shows that the duration of irradiation should be included as one of the main laser parameters when reporting on the effects of laser irradiation on enzymes. We also find that laser sources and LED sources have the same effect on enzyme activity if the wavelength and absorbed energy are equal.

Photobiological Interactions of Blue Light and Photosynthetic Photon Flux: Effects of Monochromatic and Broad‐Spectrum Light Sources

Photosynthesis (Pn) and photomorphogenesis (Pm) are affected by light quality, light intensity and photoperiod. Although blue light (BL) is necessary for normal development, it is less efficient in driving Pn than other wavelengths of photosynthetically active radiation. The effects of BL on Pm are highly species dependent. Here we report the interacting effects of BL and photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) on growth and development of lettuce, radish and pepper. We used light‐emitting diode (LED) arrays to provide BL fractions from 11% to 28% under broad‐spectrum white LEDs, and from 0.3% to 92% under monochromatic LEDs. All treatments were replicated three times at each of two PPFs (200 and 500 μmol m^?2 s^?1). Other than light quality, environmental conditions were uniformly maintained across chambers. Regardless of PPF, BL was necessary to prevent shade‐avoidance responses in radish and lettuce. For lettuce and radish, increasing BL reduced stem length, and for both species, there were significant interactions of BL with PPF for leaf expansion. Increasing BL reduced petiole length in radish and flower number in pepper. BL minimally affected pepper growth and other developmental parameters. Pepper seedlings were more photobiologically sensitive than older plants. Surprisingly, there were few interactions between monochromatic and broad‐spectrum light sources.
