Microbial Biosensors01:17

Microbial Biosensors

Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that utilize living microbes to detect specific substances through measurable signals. These devices consist of two main components: biosensing organisms and signal-transducing elements. Biosensing organisms, such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are typically housed in multiwell plates connected to transducers, enabling rapid, real-time detection of target analytes.Signal Generation MechanismWhen a target analyte—such as...
Coordination of Gene Expression Processes in Bacteria01:29

Coordination of Gene Expression Processes in Bacteria

The DNA replication, transcription, and translation processes are intricately coupled in bacteria, allowing efficient gene expression and rapid protein synthesis. While this physical and functional coordination is advantageous, it introduces challenges that bacteria overcome through specific regulatory mechanisms.Coupling of Replication, Transcription, and TranslationThe coupling of replication, transcription, and translation is a hallmark of bacterial gene expression. As the replisome unwinds...
DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...
Riboswitches01:56

Riboswitches

Riboswitches are non-coding mRNA domains that regulate the transcription and translation of downstream genes without the help of proteins. Riboswitches bind directly to a metabolite and can form unique stem-loop or hairpin structures in response to the amount of the metabolite present. They have two distinct regions – a metabolite-binding aptamer and an expression platform.
The aptamer has high specificity for a particular metabolite which allows riboswitches to specifically regulate...
Prokaryotic Transcriptional Activators and Repressors01:58

Prokaryotic Transcriptional Activators and Repressors

The organization of prokaryotic genes in their genome is notably different from that of eukaryotes. Prokaryotic genes are organized, such that the genes for proteins involved in the same biochemical process or function are located together in groups. This group of genes, along with their regulatory elements, are collectively known as an operon. The functional genes in an operon are transcribed together to give a single strand of mRNA known as polycistronic mRNA.
Transcription of prokaryotic...

    Area of Science:

    • Biotechnology
    • Materials Science
    • Microfluidics

    Background:

    • Bacterial contamination and cell death are significant challenges in microfluidic applications, hindering their utility.
    • Current methods for controlling bacterial behavior in microfluidics are often limited in precision and reversibility.

    Discussion:

    • A smart thermoresponsive surface was engineered by conjugating elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) molecules to a glass substrate.
    • Bacterial attachment was achieved through hydrophobic interactions between surface-bound ELPs and ELP-tagged bacteria.
    • Micropatterning with a cell-repellent polymer created defined areas for specific bacterial adhesion.

    Key Insights:

    • Reversible bacterial attachment and detachment were successfully demonstrated by controlling the thermoresponsive phase transition of ELPs.
    • Five distinct bacterial species were conjugated with ELPs and precisely arrayed on the functionalized surface.
    • Bacterial viability was confirmed post-detachment through colony-forming unit assays, indicating minimal impact on cell health.
