An indirect detection strategy-assisted self-cleaning electrochemical platform for in-situ and pretreatment-free detection of endogenous H 2S from sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 436:129296. [PMID: 35739798 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can be adopted as an indicator for the indirect detection of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB), which considered to be closely related to pipeline corrosion and human intestinal health. Unfortunately, the in-situ detection of endogenous H2S from SRB in the complex culture medium still faces huge challenges. Besides nonspecific adsorption from the culture medium of SRB, the problem of electrode passivation by produced elemental sulfur during electrochemical detection processes of H2S cannot be ignored. To address these challenges, herein a synergistic sensing platform based on self-cleaning electrode interface and indirect detection strategy (specific H2S-induced chemical reaction) is developed. This indirect sensing strategy-assisted self-cleaning electrochemical platform showed a relatively good linear response toward H2S in the range of 0.5 - 5 μM, and the corresponding limit of detection (LOD) was calculated to be 5.09 nM. More importantly, the satisfactory self-cleaning electrode interface in indirect detection system (with only a 4.10% decrease in signal over 50 electrochemical repeated cycles) showed the electrode surface not being disturbed by elemental sulfur. Furthermore, this good selectivity of the indirect detection strategy in combination with the reproducibility, stability, and antifouling activity of the self-cleaning interface, enabled a synergistic sensing platform to detect H2S directly in the complex culture medium of SRB without time-consuming sample pretreatments. Moreover, this proposed construction strategy of synergetic sensing platform could be explored to other endogenous molecules in complex environment based on different antifouling materials and specific reactions.

Abstract
The ultrasensitive determination of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) is of great significance for their crucial roles in environmental and industrial harms together with the early detection of microbial corrosion. In this work, we report the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts, i.e., Cu2O-CuO extended hexapods (EHPs), which are wrapped on homemade freestanding graphene paper to construct a flexible paper electrode in the electrochemical sensing of the biomarker sulfide for SRB detection. Herein Cu2O-CuO EHPs have been synthesized via a highly controllable and facile approach at room temperature, where the redox centers of copper oxide nanoarchitectures are tuned via facet engineering, and then they are deposited on the graphene paper surface through an electrostatic adsorption to enable homogeneous and highly dense distribution. Owing to the synergistic contribution of high electrocatalytic activity from the Cu mixed oxidation states and abundant catalytically active facets of Cu2O-CuO EHPs and high electrical conductivity of the graphene paper electrode substrate, the resultant nanohybrid paper electrode has exhibited superb electrochemical sensing properties for H2S with a wide linear range up to 352 μM and an extremely low detection limit (LOD) of 0.1 nM with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 (S/N = 3), as well as high sensitivity, stability, and selectivity. Furthermore, taking advantage of the good biocompatibility and mechanical flexibility, the electrochemical sensing platform based on the proposed electrode has been applied in the sensitive detection of SRB in environmental samples through the sensing of sulfide from SRB, which holds great promise for on-site and online corrosion and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are blamed as main culprits in triggering huge corrosion damages by microbiologically influenced corrosion. They obtained their energy through enzymatic conversion of sulfates to sulfides which are highly corrosive. However, conventional SRB detection methods are complex, time-consuming and are not enough sensitive for reliable detection. The advanced biosensing technologies capable of overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks are in demand. So, nanomaterials being economical, environmental friendly and showing good electrocatalytic properties are promising candidates for electrochemical detection of SRB as compared with antibody based assays. Here, we summarize the recent advances in the detection of SRB using different techniques such as PCR, UV visible method, fluorometric method, immunosensors, electrochemical sensors and photoelectrochemical sensors. We also discuss the SRB detection based on determination of sulfide, typical metabolic product of SRB.

Abstract
In this study, high concentration of H2S (i.e., 5000 ppmv) in biogas was effectively removed by a slightly alkaline biotricking filter (BTF) with Polypropylene rings as packing material and oxygen from air as the electron acceptor. The results showed that when the inlet loading of H2S increased from 101.7 to 422.0 g/m3/h, the removal efficiency of H2S decreased from 100.0% to 91.4%, and the maximum elimination capacity (EC) was 386.0 ± 10.5 gH2S/m3/h when empty bed retention time (EBRT) was 1.0 min. The slightly alkaline condition could increase the mass transfer of H2S from gas to liquid phase and avoid the toxic effect of high concentration of H2S, resulting in high removal performance of H2S in the system. With the increase of H2S inlet loading, the ratio of SO42- in bio-desulfurization products gradually decreased, while that of S0 increased. At 101.7-210.7 gH2S/m3/h of inlet loading, SO42- was the dominant product with the ratio of above 50.00%, while S0 became the dominant product with 62.96% at 422.0 gH2S/m3/h of inlet loading. The 16S rDNA sequencing results showed that the dominant genus in the BTF was sulfide-oxidizing bacteria (SOB), with the abundance of SOB decreased with the increase of inlet loading. The dominant genus were Pseudomonas, Halothiobacillus and Sulfurimonas in the BTF at 101.7, 139.8 and 210.7 gH2S/m3/h of inlet loading, respectively. The SOB Sulfurimonas might play an important role for bio-desulfurization of high concentration of H2S in a slightly alkaline BTF under high inlet loading of H2S.

Abstract
The precise monitoring of H2S has aroused immense research interest in the biological and biomedical fields since it is exposed as a third endogenous gasotransmitter. Hence, there is an urgent requisite to explore an ultrasensitive and economical H2S detection system. Herein, we report a simple strategy to configure an extremely sensitive electrochemical sensor with a 2D nanosheet-shaped layered double hydroxide (LDH) wrapped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanohybrid (CNTs@LDH), where a series of CNTs@CuMn-LDH nanohybrids with varied amounts of LDH nanosheets grafted on a conductive CNTs backbone has been synthesized via a facile coprecipitation approach. Taking advantage of the unique core-shell structure, the integrated electrochemically active CuMn-LDH nanosheets on the conductive CNTs scaffold, the maximum interfacial collaboration, and the superior specific surface area with a plethora of surface active sites and ultrathin LDH layers, the as-prepared CNTs@CuMn-LDH nanoarchitectures have exhibited superb electrocatalytic activity toward H2S oxidation. Under the optimum conditions, the electrochemical sensor based on the CNTs@CuMn-LDH nanohybrid shows remarkable sensing performances for H2S determination in terms of a wide linear range and a low detection limit of 0.3 nM (S/N = 3), high selectivity, reproducibility, and durability. With marvelous efficiency achieved, the proposed sensing platform has been practically used in in situ detection of abiotic H2S efflux produced by sulfate reducing bacteria and real-time in vitro tracking of H2S concentrations from live cells after being excreted by a stimulator which in turn might serve as early diseases diagnosis. Thus, our core-shell hybrid nanoarchitectures fabricated via structural integration strategy will open new horizons in material synthesis, biosensing systems, and clinical chemistry.

Abstract
Sulfur compounds are essential for many industries and organisms; however, they cause serious respiratory problems in human beings. Therefore, determination of sulfur concentration is of paramount importance. The research approach in the field of detecting contaminants has led to smaller systems that provide faster and more effective ways for diagnosis purposes. In this study, a novel portable amperometric graphene oxide-protein biosensor platform is investigated. The main characteristic of this structure is the implementation of a microfluidic configuration. With albumin metalloprotein as the biorecognition element, graphene oxide was synthesized and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Albumin protein was stabilized on the surface of graphene oxide by the application of the N-(3-dimethylamionpropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide method. The stabilization was confirmed by FTIR and electrochemistry analyses. The calibration curve of sulfur concentration was determined. When the graphene oxide-protein complex was stabilized by nephion on the surface of the microfluidic system, the response time reduced to 50 Sec, which is a relatively faster response among the similar studies and validated the significant effect of the microfluidic system. The nanosystem had an optimized pH of 7.4 and exhibited high sensitivity in determining sulfide. The results confirm that the portable graphene oxide-protein nanosystem has a fast and accurate response in detecting sulfide.

Abstract
The development of structurally modified metal oxide heteroarchitectures with higher energy facets exposed has been of extensive research interests because of their unique construction and synergy effect of multifunctioning characteristics. In this study, we reported for the first time the development of a distinct type of gold nanoislands (AuNIs) on metal oxides (i.e., Cu2O-CuO) octadecahedral (ODH) heterostructures through the galvanic exchange reaction, where Cu2O not only acts as a stabilizer but also functions as a reductant. The electrocatalytic performance of the resultant core-shell Cu2O-CuO@AuNI ODH-based electrochemical sensing platform has been evaluated in ultrasensitive detection of sulfide as early disease diagnostics and bacterial marker. Owing to the synergistic collaboration of enhanced surface active sites, exposed {110} crystallographic facets, mixed valances of copper that encourage redox reactions at electrode material/analyte interface, and the polarization effect provide by AuNIs decorated onto the Cu2O surface, Cu2O-CuO@AuNI ODH-modified electrode has demonstrated striking electrochemical sensing performance toward sulfide oxidation in terms of broad linear range, real detection limit down to 1 nM (S/N = 3), and incredible durability and reproducibility. In virtue of marvelous efficiency, the proposed electrochemical sensor based on Cu2O-CuO@AuNI ODH has been employed in in situ sensitive detection of a ubiquitous amount of sulfide engendered by sulfate-reducing bacteria and real-time tracking of sulfide efflux from live cells as early diagnostic strategies.
