Abstract
(E)-Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(4'-(diphenyl amino)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl) acrylate (RSJ) is a novel luminogen based on triphenylamine. It has been fully synthesized and characterized, exhibiting an incredible photophysical phenomenon known as aggregation-induced emission (AIE). This work describes a fluorescent sensor that detects vitamin B2 in mixed aqueous media with high selectivity and a low limit of detection as well as a mechanism for reversible mechanochromic luminescence. Moreover, the molecule was validated for its nontoxicity in water using a histotoxicological study. Fish subjected to two different concentrations of the "novel luminogen" that displayed photophysical phenomena during sensing of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) in mixed aqueous media did not exhibit any significant differences in the structural makeup of their liver, kidney, gills, brain, and muscle tissues when compared with the control group.

Abstract
Development of simple and reliable sensor for detecting vitamin content is of great significance for guiding human nutrition metabolism, overseeing the quality of food or drugs, and advancing the treatment of related diseases. In this work, a simple electrochemical sensor was conveniently fabricated by modification a carbon electrode with vertically-ordered mesoporous silica film (VMSF), enabling highly sensitive electrochemical detection of vitamin B2 (VB2) based on the dual enrichment of the analyte by the supporting electrode and nanochannels. The widely used glassy carbon electrode (GCE), was preactivated using simple electrochemical polarization, The resulting preactivated GCE (p-GCE) exhibited improved potential resolution ability and enhanced peak current of VB2. Stable modification of VMSF on p-GCE (VMSF/p-GCE) was achieved without introducing another binding layer. The dual enrichment effect of the supporting p-GCE and nanochannels facilitated sensitive detection of VB2, with a linear concentration ranged from 20 nM to 7 μM and from 7 μM to 20 μM. The limit of detection (LOD), determined based on a signal-to-noise ratio of three (S/N = 3), was found to be 11 nM. The modification of ultra-small nanochannels of VMSF endowed VMSF/p-GCE with excellent anti-interference and anti-fouling performance, along with high stability. The constructed sensor demonstrated the capability to achieve direct electrochemical detection of VB2 in turbid samples including milk and leachate of compound vitamin B tablet without the need for complex sample pretreatment. The fabricated electrochemical can be easily regenerated and has high reusability. The advantages of simple preparation, high detection performance, and good regeneration endow the constructed electrochemical sensor with great potential for direct detection of small molecule in complex samples.

Abstract
Whole-cell biosensors are an important class of analytical tools that offer the advantages of low cost, facile operation, and unique reproduction/regeneration ability. However, it has always been quite challenging to expand the sensing spectrum of the host. Here, a new approach to extend the cell sensing spectrum with biomineralized nanoparticles is developed. The nano-biohybrid design comprise biomineralized FeS nanoparticles firmly anchored onto the bacterium, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, wherein the nanoparticles are wired to the cellular electron transfer machinery (MtrCAB/OmcA) of the bacterium, forming an artificial cyborgian redox machinery consisting of FeS-MtrCAB/OmcA-FccA. Strikingly, with this cyborgian redox machinery, the sensing spectrum of FeS hybridized S. oneidensis MR-1 cell is successfully expanded to enable whole-cell electrochemical detection of Vitamin B12, while an unhybridized native cell is incapable of sensing. This proof-of-concept nano-biohybrid design offers a new perspective on manipulating the microbial toolkit for an expanded sensing spectrum in whole-cell biosensors.

Abstract
A signal amplification system for electrochemical sensing was established by bio-nanohybrid cells (BNC) based on bacterial self-assembly and biomineralization. The BNC was constructed by partially encapsulating a Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 cell with the self-biomineralized iron sulfide nanoparticles. The iron sulfide nanoparticle encapsulated BNCs showed high transmembrane electron transfer efficiency and was explored as a superior redox cycling module. Impressively, by integrating this BNC redox cycling module into the electrochemical sensing system, the output signal was amplified over 260 times compared to that without the BNC module. Uniquely, with this BNC redox cycling system, ultrasensitive detection of riboflavin with an extremely low LOD of 0.2 nM was achieved. This work demonstrated the power of BNC in the area of biosensing and provided a new possibility for the design of a whole cell redox cycling based signal amplification system.

Abstract
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is considered to be a novel biomarker of cardiovascular diseases. However, the traditional TMAO detection method has failed to meet the requirements of real-time and point-of-care tests. Herein, a novel TMAO detection method based on microbial electrochemical technology is established, which realizes the direct conversion of TMAO concentration into electrical signals. Attached Shewanella loihica PV-4 was first proven to be capable of simultaneous inward extracellular electron transfer and TMAO reduction. The TMAO detection method showed a wide linear range of 0 to 250 μM, a high sensitivity of 23.92 μA/mM, and a low limit of detection of 5.96 μM. In addition, the TMAO detection process was accomplished within 600 s, with an acceptable accuracy of 90% in the real serum, showing high feasibility in clinical applications.

Abstract
Microbial Whole-Cell Biosensors (MWCBs) have seen rapid development with the arrival of 21st century biological and technological capabilities. They consist of microbial species which produce, or limit the production of, a reporter protein in the presence of a target analyte. The quantifiable signal from the reporter protein can be used to determine the bioavailable levels of the target analyte in a variety of sample types at a significantly lower cost than most widely used and well-established analytical instrumentation. Furthermore, the versatile and robust nature of MWCBs shows great potential for their use in otherwise unavailable settings and environments. While MWCBs have been developed for use in biomedical, environmental, and agricultural monitoring, they still face various challenges before they can transition from the laboratory into industrialized settings like their enzyme-based counterparts. In this comprehensive and critical review, we describe the underlying working principles of MWCBs, highlight developments for their use in a variety of fields, detail challenges and current efforts to address them, and discuss exciting implementations of MWCBs helping redefine what is thought to be possible with this expeditiously evolving technology.

Abstract
A AuNP-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (AuNP/SPCE) for monitoring important biomolecules, such as dopamine (DA) and riboflavin (RF), having a high potential for personalized medicine and for continuous monitoring of human health is here proposed. AuNPs were synthesized using the extract of Rhanterium suaveolens as a reducing medium and were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). The synthesized AuNPs appear spherical and present a bimodal size distribution with a maximum centered at around 30-50 nm. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments demonstrated that the modified AuNP/SPCE sensor exhibits superior electrochemical performances to the bare SPCE. Low limits of detection (LODs) of 0.2 and 0.07 μM at S/N = 3 and sensitivities of 550.4 and 2399 μA mM-1 cm-2 were registered for DA and RF detection, respectively. Results demonstrate the promising electrochemical characteristics of the synthesized AuNPs and developed AuNP/SPCE electrochemical sensor for the determination of these important biomolecules.

Abstract
This review focuses on the overview of microbial amperometric biosensors and microbial biofuel cells (MFC) and shows how very similar principles are applied for the design of both types of these bioelectronics-based devices. Most microorganism-based amperometric biosensors show poor specificity, but this drawback can be exploited in the design of microbial biofuel cells because this enables them to consume wider range of chemical fuels. The efficiency of the charge transfer is among the most challenging and critical issues during the development of any kind of biofuel cell. In most cases, particular redox mediators and nanomaterials are applied for the facilitation of charge transfer from applied biomaterials towards biofuel cell electrodes. Some improvements in charge transfer efficiency can be achieved by the application of conducting polymers (CPs), which can be used for the immobilization of enzymes and in some particular cases even for the facilitation of charge transfer. In this review, charge transfer pathways and mechanisms, which are suitable for the design of biosensors and in biofuel cells, are discussed. Modification methods of the cell-wall/membrane by conducting polymers in order to enhance charge transfer efficiency of microorganisms, which can be potentially applied in the design of microbial biofuel cells, are outlined. The biocompatibility-related aspects of conducting polymers with microorganisms are summarized.

Fabrication of a Novel Electrochemical Sensor Based on Carbon Cloth Matrix Functionalized with MoO 3 and 2D-MoS 2 Layers for Riboflavin Determination. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 21:1371. [PMID: 33669165 PMCID: PMC7919667 DOI: 10.3390/s21041371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The preparation and characterization of a hybrid composite, based on carbon cloth (CC) matrix functionalized with two-dimensional (2D) MoS2 flakes and MoO3, and its use for developing an electrochemical sensor for the determination of riboflavin (RF) is here reported. The 2D-MoS2-MoO3CC composite was prepared by depositing 2D-MoS2 nanosheets, obtained by liquid phase exfoliation (LPE), on the surface of a carbon cloth fiber network, previously functionalized with a layer of molybdenum oxide (α-MoO3) by radio-frequency magnetron reactive sputtering technique. The 2D-MoS2-MoO3CC composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX), and Raman spectroscopy. An electrochemical sensor has been then fabricated by fixing a slice of the 2D-MoS2-MoO3CC composite on the working electrode of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). The 2D-MoS2-MoO3-CC/SPCE sensor display good electrochemical characteristics which have been exploited, for the first time, in the electroanalytical determination of riboflavin (RF). The sensitivity to RF, equal to 0.67 µA mM-1 in the linear range from 2 to 40 µM, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.5 µM at S/N = 3, demonstrate the promising characteristics of the proposed 2D-MoS2-MoO3-CC/SPCE electrochemical sensor for the determination of riboflavin.

Abstract
Cells often communicate by the secretion, transport, and perception of molecules. Information conveyed by molecules is encoded, transmitted, and decoded by cells within the context of the prevailing microenvironments. Conversely, in electronics, transmission reliability and message validation are predictable, robust, and less context dependent. In turn, many transformative advances have resulted by the formal consideration of information transfer. One way to explore this potential for biological systems is to create bio-device interfaces that facilitate bidirectional information transfer between biology and electronics. Redox reactions enable this linkage because reduction and oxidation mediate communication within biology and can be coupled with electronics. By manipulating redox reactions, one is able to combine the programmable features of electronics with the ability to interrogate and modulate biological function. In this review, we examine methods to electrochemically interrogate the various components of molecular communication using redox chemistry and to electronically control cell communication using redox electrogenetics.

Abstract
A bioelectrochemical sensing system (BES) based on electroactive bacteria (EAB) has been used as a new and promising tool for water toxicity assessment. However, most EAB can reduce heavy metals, which usually results in low toxicity response. Herein, a starvation pre-incubation strategy was developed which successfully avoided the metal reduction during the toxicity sensing period. By integrating this starvation pre-incubation procedure with the amperometric BES, a sensitive, robust and mediator-free biosensing method for heavy metal toxicity assessment was developed. Under the optimized conditions, the IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) values for Cu2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, and Cr6+ obtained were 0.35, 3.49, 6.52, 2.48 mg L-1, respectively. The measurement with real water samples also suggested this method was reliable for practical application. This work demonstrates that it is feasible to use EAB for heavy metal toxicity assessment and provides a new tool for water toxicity warning.

Abstract
The extracellular electron transfer (EET) that connects the intracellular metabolism of electroactive microorganisms to external electron donors/acceptors, is the foundation to develop diverse microbial electrochemical technologies. For a particular microbial electrochemical device, the surface chemical property of an employed electrode material plays a crucial role in the EET process owing to the direct and intimate biotic-abiotic interaction. The functional modification of an electrode surface with redox mediators has been proposed as an effectual approach to promote EET, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this work, we investigated the enhancement of electrochemically polymerized riboflavin interface on the bidirectional EET of Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 for boosting bioelectrocatalytic ability. An optimal polyriboflavin functionalized carbon cloth electrode achieved about 4.3-fold output power density (∼707 mW/m2) in microbial fuel cells and 3.7-fold cathodic current density (∼0.78 A/m2) for fumarate reduction in three-electrode cells compared to the control, showing great increases in both outward and inward EET rates. Likewise, the improvement was observed for polyriboflavin-functionalized graphene electrodes. Through comparison between wild-type strain and outer-membrane cytochrome (MtrC/UndA) mutant, the significant improvements were suggested to be attributed to the fast interfacial electron exchange between the polyriboflavin interface with flexible electrochemical activity and good biocompatibility and the outer-membrane cytochromes of the Shewanella strain. This work not only provides an effective approach to boost microbial electrocatalysis for energy conversion, but also offers a new demonstration of broadening the applications of riboflavin-functionalized interface since the widespread contribution of riboflavin in various microbial EET pathways together with the facile electropolymerization approach.

Abstract
Microbial electrochemical system (MES) has attracted ever-growing interest as a promising platform for renewable energy conversion and bioelectrochemical remediation. Shewanella species, the dissimilatory metal reduction model bacteria with versatile extracellular electron transfer (EET) strategies, are the well-received microorganisms in diverse MES devices for various practical applications as well as microbial EET mechanism investigation. Meanwhile, the available genomic information and the unceasing established gene-editing toolbox offer an unprecedented opportunity to boost the applications of Shewanella species in MES. This review thoroughly summarizes the status quo of the applications of Shewanella species in microbial fuel cells for bioelectricity generation, microbial electrosynthesis for biotransformation of valuable chemicals and bioremediation of environment-hazardous pollutants with synoptical discussion on their EET mechanism. Recent advances in rational design and genetic engineering of Shewanella strains for either promoting the MES performance or broadening their applications are surveyed. Moreover, some emerging applications beyond electricity generation, such as biosensing and biocomputing, are also documented. The challenges and perspectives for Shewanella-based MES are also discussed elaborately for the sake of not only discovering new scientific lights on microbial extracellular respiratory but also propelling practical applications.

Abstract
Access to affordable and field deployable diagnostics are key barriers to the control and eradication of many endemic and emerging infectious diseases. While cost, accuracy, and usability have all improved in recent years, there remains a pressing need for even less expensive and more scalable technologies. To that end, we explored new methods to inexpensively produce and couple protein-based biosensing molecules (affinity reagents) with scalable electrochemical sensors. Previous whole-cell constructs resulted in confounding measurements in clinical testing due to significant cross-reactivity when probing for host-immune (antibody) response to infection. To address this, we developed two complimentary strategies based on either the release of surface displayed or secretion of fusion proteins. These dual affinity biosensing elements couple antibody recognition (using antigen) and sensor surface adhesion (using gold-binding peptide-GBP) to allow single-step reagent production, purification, and biosensor assembly. As a proof-of-concept, we developed Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-core antigen-GBP fusion proteins. These constructs were first tested and optimized for consistent surface adhesion then the assembled immunosensors were tested for cross-reactivity and evaluated for performance in vitro. We observed loss of function of the released reagents while secreted constructs performed well in in vitro testing with 2 orders of dynamic range, and a limit of detection of 32 nM. Finally, we validated the secreted platform with clinical isolates (n = 3) with statistically significant differentiation of positive vs. non-infected serum (p < 0.0001) demonstrating the ability to clearly distinguish HCV positive and negative clinical samples.

Abstract
Monitoring pH within microbial reactors has become an important requirement across a host of applications ranging from the production of functional foods (probiotics) to biofuel cell systems. An inexpensive and scalable composite sensor capable of monitoring the pH within the demanding environments posed by microbial reactors has been developed. A custom designed flavin derivative bearing an electropolymerisable phenol monomer was used to create a redox film sensitive to pH but free from the interferences that can impede conventional pH systems. The film was integrated within a composite carbon-fibre-polymer laminate and was shown to exhibit Nernstian behaviour (55 mV/pH) with minimal drift and robust enough to operate within batch reactors.

[PMID: 28582765 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2017.05.154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2016] [Revised: 05/22/2017] [Accepted: 05/27/2017] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
A novel mediator-free method based on genetically modified bacteria was developed for detecting water toxicity, where genetically modified Pseudomonas aeruginosa (GM P. aeruginosa) was selected as the biosensor strain and pyocyanin (PYO) produced by this strain was used as the indicator. The toxicity response of GM P. aeruginosa to 3, 5-dichlorophenol (3, 5-DCP) was measured electrochemically and spectroscopically, and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 3, 5-DCP was determined to be 15.1 mg/L. Strikingly, the toxicity of sample solution with 3, 5-DCP could also be estimated visually by naked eyes at a concentration as low as 10 mg/L. The present study provided a convenient, sensitive and cost-effective method for water toxicity detection, and extended biosensing application of the genetically modified bacterium.

Bioelectrochemical biosensor for water toxicity detection: generation of dual signals for electrochemical assay confirmation. Anal Bioanal Chem 2017; 410:1231-1236. [PMID: 28965160 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-017-0656-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2017] [Revised: 09/13/2017] [Accepted: 09/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Toxicity assessment of water is of great important to the safety of human health and to social security because of more and more toxic compounds that are spilled into the aquatic environment. Therefore, the development of fast and reliable toxicity assessment methods is of great interest and attracts much attention. In this study, by using the electrochemical activity of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 cells as the toxicity indicator, 3,5-dichlorophenol (DCP) as the model toxic compound, a new biosensor for water toxicity assessment was developed. Strikingly, the presence of DCP in the water significantly inhibited the maximum current output of the S. oneidensis MR-1 in a three-electrode system and also retarded the current evolution by the cells. Under the optimized conditions, the maximum current output of the biosensor was proportional to the concentration of DCP up to 30 mg/L. The half maximal inhibitory concentration of DCP determined by this biosensor is about 14.5 mg/L. Furthermore, simultaneous monitoring of the retarded time (Δt) for current generation allowed the identification of another biosensor signal in response to DCP which could be employed to verify the electrochemical result by dual confirmation. Thus, the present study has provided a reliable and promising approach for water quality assessment and risk warning of water toxicity.

Abstract
Various whole cell-based biosensors have been reported in the literature for the last 20 years and these reports have shown great potential for their use in the areas of pollution detection in environmental and in biomedical diagnostics. Unlike other reviews of this growing field, this mini-review argues that: (1) the selection of reporter genes and their regulatory proteins are directly linked to the performance of celllular biosensors; (2) broad enhancements in microelectronics and information technologies have also led to improvements in the performance of these sensors; (3) their future potential is most apparent in their use in the areas of medical diagnostics and in environmental monitoring; and (4) currently the most promising work is focused on the better integration of cellular sensors with nano and micro scaled integrated chips. With better integration it may become practical to see these cells used as (5) real-time portable devices for diagnostics at the bedside and for remote environmental toxin detection and this in situ application will make the technology commonplace and thus as unremarkable as other ubiquitous technologies.
