[PMID: 38678928 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Developing portable and sensitive biosensors for bacteria detection is highly demanded due to their association with environmental and food safety. Paper-based microfluidic chip is the suitable candidate for constructing pump-free biosensor since paper is hydrophilic, low-cost and easy to use. However, the contradiction between sensitivity and small sample volume seriously affects the application of paper-based chip for bacteria detection. Here, a new microfluidic biosensor, combining large PDMS reservoir for sample storage, hydrophilic paper substrate for pump-free water transport, coated microspheres for bacteria capture and super absorbent resin for water absorption, is designed for the detection of bacteria in aqueous samples. Once the sample solution is introduced in the reservoir, water will automatically flow through the gaps between microspheres and the target bacteria will be captured by the aptamer coated on the surface. To facilitate PDMS reservoir bonding and ensure water transport, the upper side of paper substrate is coated with Polyethylenimine modified PDMS and the bottom side is kept unchanged. After all the solution is filtrated, fluorescent dye strained bacteria are enriched on the microspheres. The fluorescent intensity representing the number of bacteria captured is then measured using a portable instrument. Through the designed microfluidic biosensor, the bacteria detection can be achieved with 2 mL sample solution in less than 15 min for water or 20 min for diluted milk. A linear range from 10 CFU/mL to 1000 CFU/mL is obtained. The paper-based 3D biosensor has the merits of low-cost, simple operation, pump-free and high sensitivity and it can be applied to the simultaneous detection of multiple bacteria via integrating different aptamers.

Machine learning-assisted liquid crystal-based aptasensor for the specific detection of whole-cell Escherichia coli in water and food. Food Chem 2024; 448:139113. [PMID: 38552467 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/24/2024]
Abstract
We have developed a rapid, facile liquid crystal (LC)-based aptasensor for E. coli detection in water and juice samples. A textile grid-anchored LC platform was used with specific aptamers adsorbed via a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), on the LC surface. The presence of E. coli dissociates the aptamers from CTAB and restores the dark signal induced by the surfactant. Using polarized microscopy, the images of the LCs in the presence of various concentrations of E. coli were captured and analyzed using image analysis and machine learning (ML). The artificial neural networks (ANN) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) rendered the best results for water samples (R2 = 0.986 and RMSE = 0.209) and juice samples (R2 = 0.976 and RMSE = 0.262), respectively. The platform was able to detect E. coli with a detection limit (LOD) of 6 CFU mL-1.

Abstract
Climate change is a profound crisis that affects every aspect of life, including public health. Changes in environmental conditions can promote the spread of pathogens and the development of new mutants and strains. Early detection is essential in managing and controlling this spread and improving overall health outcomes. This perspective article introduces basic biosensing concepts and various biosensors, including electrochemical, optical, mass-based, nano biosensors, and single-molecule biosensors, as important sustainability and public health preventive tools. The discussion also includes how the sustainability of a biosensor is crucial to minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring the long-term availability of vital technologies and resources for healthcare, environmental monitoring, and beyond. One promising avenue for pathogen screening could be the electrical detection of biomolecules at the single-molecule level, and some recent developments based on single-molecule bioelectronics using the Scanning Tunneling Microscopy-assisted break junctions (STM-BJ) technique are shown here. Using this technique, biomolecules can be detected with high sensitivity, eliminating the need for amplification and cell culture steps, thereby enhancing speed and efficiency. Furthermore, the STM-BJ technique demonstrates exceptional specificity, accurately detects single-base mismatches, and exhibits a detection limit essentially at the level of individual biomolecules. Finally, a case is made here for sustainable biosensors, how they can help, the paradigm shift needed to achieve them, and some potential applications.

BEILSTEIN JOURNAL OF NANOTECHNOLOGY 2024; 15:95-103. [PMID: 38264061 PMCID: PMC10804531 DOI: 10.3762/bjnano.15.9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
A fast and sensitive aptasensor was developed using nanoplates with peroxidase activity as a novel approach. E. coli detection is described using a silver/platinum nanoplate (Ag/Pt NPL) that interacts with an oligonucleotide aptamer as a bioreceptor. The size of the Ag/Pt NPLs was about 42 nm according to the FE-SEM images. The EDS result indicates that a thin layer of Pt ions was coated on the surface of the Ag NPLs. This nanobiosensor has the ability to specifically bind to E. coli, increasing the peroxidase activity of the apt-Ag/Pt NPL. Finally, the blue color of the solution in the contaminated water samples was increased in the presence of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a substrate and H2O2. The assay can be completed in 30 min and the presence of E. coli levels can be distinguished with the naked eye. The absorbance at 652 nm is proportional to pathogen concentration from 10 to 108 CFU·mL-1, with a detection limit of 10 CFU·mL-1. The percent recovery for the water samples spiked with E. coli is 95%. The developed assay should serve as a general platform for detecting other pathogenic bacteria which affect water and food quality. The proposed E. coli detection strategy has appealing characteristics such as high sensitivity, simple operation, short testing time, and low cost.

A simple smartphone-assisted paper-based colorimetric biosensor for the detection of urea adulteration in milk based on an environment-friendly pH-sensitive nanocomposite. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1284:341935.

Abstract
Urea is a common milk adulterant that falsely increases its protein content. Excessive consumption of urea is harmful to the kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal system. The conventional methods for urea detection in milk are time-consuming, costly, and require highly skilled operators. So, there is an increasing demand for the development of rapid, convenient, and cost-efficient methods for the detection of urea adulteration in milk. Herein, we report a novel colorimetric paper-based urea biosensor, consisting of a novel environment-friendly nanocomposite of halloysite nanotubes (HNT), that urease enzyme and an anthocyanin-rich extract, as a natural pH indicator are simultaneously immobilized into its internal and external surfaces. The biosensing mechanism of this biosensor is based on anthocyanin color change, which occurs due to urease-mediated hydrolysis of urea and pH increment of the environment. The colorimetric signal of this biosensor is measured through smartphone-assisted analysis of the mean RGB (Red-Green-Blue) intensity of samples and is capable of detecting urea with a detection limit of 0.2 mM, and a linear range from 0.5 to 100 mM. This biosensor has demonstrated promising results for the detection of urea in milk samples, in the presence of other milk adulterants and interferents.

Abstract
Zinc is an essential metal since it plays an important role in biological systems, therefore, determination of zinc in food samples is important. Violuric acid was used to prepare highly fluorescent carbon dots (CDs), when it irradiated with ultraviolet radiation at 365 nm, a strong violet fluorescence was observed which caused by the increased amount of nitrogen in the CD structure, which were then successfully used for sensing zinc ion based on quenching of fluorescence. Violuric acid's hydrothermal carbonization reaction's temperature and time were simply optimized for better-quality performance of the CDs as-synthesized. The probe was characterized by HRTEM, SEM, XRD, EDX, fluorescence, UV-Visible absorption spectrophotometry, and FTIR. With a lower LOD 0.32 nM, the developed approach demonstrates an exceptional sensitivity and good selective response to the Zn2+ at 25℃. Compared to the results from ICP, the sensor was successfully used for determination of Zn2+ ions in tomato paste samples.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is linked to both short-term and long-term health problems. Therefore, its detection at a very basic stage is of utmost importance. Research institutes and medical organizations are increasingly using cost-effective biosensors to monitor human biological processes and provide precise health diagnoses. Biosensors aid in accurate diabetes diagnosis and monitoring for efficient treatment and management. Recent attention to nanotechnology in the fast-evolving area of biosensing has facilitated the advancement of new sensors and sensing processes and improved the performance and sensitivity of current biosensors. Nanotechnology biosensors detect disease and track therapy response. Clinically efficient biosensors are user-friendly, efficient, cheap, and scalable in nanomaterial-based production processes and thus can transform diabetes outcomes. This article is more focused on biosensors and their substantial medical applications. The highlights of the article consist of the different types of biosensing units, the role of biosensors in diabetes, the evolution of glucose sensors, and printed biosensors and biosensing systems. Later on, we were engrossed in the glucose sensors based on biofluids, employing minimally invasive, invasive, and noninvasive technologies to find out the impact of nanotechnology on the biosensors to produce a novel device as a nano-biosensor. In this approach, this article documents major advances in nanotechnology-based biosensors for medical applications, as well as the hurdles they must overcome in clinical practice.

Abstract
We present a simple, sensitive, and specific colorimetric using the peroxidase properties method based on Pt doped WO3 nanosheets to detect the cysteine. Pt@WO3NSs were synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) methods. The response surface methodology (RSM) method based on the central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize test parameters such as pH, nanosheet concentration, and temperature. When cysteine is present in the environment due to its competition with 3,3', 5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the use of hydrogen peroxide, the blue discoloration is reduced compared to the absence of cysteine and leads to its detection. We have favorably created a peculiar approach for sensing cysteine based on the colorimetric method in solution and paper with linear range 0.01-15 μM, 0.005-14 μM and R2 = 0.9887 and R2 = 0.9871 respectively. The detection limit for solution-based is 1.2 nM and for paper-based is 1 nM.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination is a public health concern worldwide causing enormous social and economic losses. For early diagnosis and adequate management to prevent or treat pathogen-related illnesses, extensive effort has been put into the development of pathogenic bacterial detection systems. Colorimetric sensing systems have attracted increasing attention due to their simple and single-site operation, rapid signal readout with the naked eye, ability to operate without external instruments, portability, compact design, and low cost. In this article, recent trends and advances in colorimetric systems for the detection and monitoring of bacterial contamination are reviewed. This article focuses on pathogen detection strategies and technologies based on reaction factors that affect the color change for visual readout. Reactions used in each strategy are introduced by dividing them into the following five categories: external pH change-induced pH indicator reactions, intracellular enzyme-catalyzed chromogenic reactions, enzyme-like nanoparticle (NP)-catalyzed substrate reactions, NP aggregation-based reactions, and NP accumulation-based reactions. Some recently developed colorimetric systems are introduced, and their challenges and strategies to improve the sensing performance are discussed.

Abstract
By utilizing a target biorecognition reaction to induce the self-assembly of G-quadruplexes and the aggregation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), this work develops a novel colorimetric biosensing method for kanamycin (Kana) antibiotic detection. The compact G-quadruplex structure was assembled from its two half-split sequences which were designed in two hairpin substrates of the Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme (MNAzyme). Besides hybridizing with the aptamer strand, the MNAzyme sequence was also split into two half fragments to be designed in the two substrates. Upon the aptamer-recognition reaction toward Kana, the MNAzyme strand could be quantitatively released to cause the exposure of the split G-quadruplex-sequences on two hairpin substrate-modified Au NPs and simultaneous release of two half fragments of the MNAzyme-sequence. Thus, the K+-assisted self-folding of G-quadruplexes causes the cross-linking of the two Au NPs to realize the Au NP aggregation-based colorimetric signal output (measured at the largest absorption peak near 520 nm). Meanwhile, the self-assembled formation of the second MNAzyme drastically amplified the signal response. Under the optimal conditions, a wide linear range from 0.1 pg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 and an ultrahigh sensitivity with the detection limit of 76 fg mL-1 were obtained. The dose-recovery experiments in real samples showed satisfactory results with recoveries from 98.4 to 105.4% and relative errors compared with the ELISA method less than 4.1%. Due to the high selectivity, excellent repeatability and stability, and simple manipulation, this method indicates a promising potential for practical applications. A novel homogeneous biosensing method was developed for the convenient detection of the kanamycin antibiotic. The target biorecognition-induced and dual DNAzyme-catalytic assembly of G-quadruplexes enabled the amplified aggregation of gold nanoparticles for the simple, cheap, stable, and ultrasensitive colorimetric signal transduction of the method.

Abstract
We developed an effective and specific colorimetric strategy to detect Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) based on hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-induced supramolecular assembly of β-cyclodextrin-capped gold nanoparticles (β-CD-AuNPs). In this study, ssDNA aptamer of S. typhimurium could combine with CTAB to form the supramolecular ssDNA-CTAB composite, so the ssDNA aptamer was applied to control the concentration of CTAB. In the presence of S. typhimurium, ssDNA aptamers selectively bound to S. typhimurium but not to CTAB, leading to the host-guest chemistry reaction of CTAB and β-CD resulting in β-CD-AuNP supramolecular assembly aggregation with an obvious color change. The ratio of absorption at 650 and 520 nm (A650nm/A520nm) has a linear correlation to the log scale of the concentration of the bacteria (1 × 102-1 × 107 CFU/mL) with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 13 CFU/mL. In addition, this optical sensor has good selectivity and practicability. In milk samples, the recovery was 93.55-111.32%, which suggested its potential application in real samples.

Regulation Mechanism of ssDNA Aptamer in Nanozymes and Application of Nanozyme-Based Aptasensors in Food Safety. Foods 2022; 11:foods11040544.

Abstract
Food safety issues are a worldwide concern. Pathogens, toxins, pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals, and illegal additives are frequently reported to contaminate food and pose a serious threat to human health. Conventional detection methods have difficulties fulfilling the requirements for food development in a modern society. Therefore, novel rapid detection methods are urgently needed for on-site and rapid screening of massive food samples. Due to the extraordinary properties of nanozymes and aptamers, biosensors composed of both of them provide considerable advantages in analytical performances, including sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, and accuracy. They are considered a promising complementary detection method on top of conventional ones for the rapid and accurate detection of food contaminants. In recent years, we have witnessed a flourishing of analytical strategies based on aptamers and nanozymes for the detection of food contaminants, especially novel detection models based on the regulation by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) of nanozyme activity. However, the applications of nanozyme-based aptasensors in food safety are seldom reviewed. Thus, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive review on nanozyme-based aptasensors in food safety, which are arranged according to the different interaction modes of ssDNA and nanozymes: aptasensors based on nanozyme activity either inhibited or enhanced by ssDNA, nanozymes as signal tags, and other methods. Before introducing the nanozyme-based aptasensors, the regulation by ssDNA of nanozyme activity via diverse factors is discussed systematically for precisely tailoring nanozyme activity in biosensors. Furthermore, current challenges are emphasized, and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the principal enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway that plays a fundamental role in the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, which is very important in preventing the oxidation of cells, especially red blood cells. This enzyme deficiency was associated with many disorders, the most common of which were hemolysis episodes. In the last decade, nanoparticles have been used to design optical and electronic sensors due to their unique properties. This report presents a new colorimetric method that used silver nanoparticles to detect glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity directly. The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase detection mechanism was based on an aggregation of silver nanoparticles, leading to increased nanoparticle size, which causes discoloration. In the presence of the enzyme, the color of the solution was yellow, and when the enzyme was not present, the color of the solution was grayish. Utilizing this method, colorimetric sensing of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was gained with a detection limit of 0.009 U ml-1and a linear range of 0-16.0 U ml-1. In this way, the presence or absence of the enzyme can be easily detected with the naked eye during one step.

Abstract
In this work, a novel strategy was addressed to fabricate new sensing probe (N-CDs@NaFZ) from nitrogen doped carbon dots (N-CDs) confined in Al-free ferrisilicates zeolite (NaFZ) by hydrothermal/solvothermal method. The probe was systematically characterized by HR-TEM, FTIR, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), powder X-ray diffraction, and UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectrophotometers. Characterization of the designed nanocomposite template N-CDs@NaFZ by fluorescence spectrum demonstrates a variety of important conducts as stability improvements, reasonable dispersibility in water, highly emission intensity enhancement at 435 nm when excited at 340 nm, excitation independent fluorescence behaviors, great quantum yield percentage of 91.2%, and narrow size distribution 12 nm, as a nano-space confinement effect of zeolite effectively increase the rigidity of N-CDs. Based on the fluorescence quenching mechanism, the designed approach exhibits an excellent selectivity and good sensitive response to the presence of Hg(II) ions under ambient temperature, with a wide linear range of 0.1-1500 nM and lower detection limits of 5.5 pM. Influences of variables pH and incubation time were optimized. The N-CDs@NaFZ sensor was effectively applied for the detection of Hg(II) ions in the farmed and wild rainbow trout fishes, and the results are in reasonable agreement when compared with that obtained by the cold vapor atomic absorption method.

Abstract
A rapid method for colorimetric monitoring of bacterial viability is described. The colorimetric method was carried out based on glucose oxidase-encapsulated Zn/Co-infinite coordination polymer (Zn/Co-ICP@GOx), which was prepared in aqueous solution free of toxic organic solvents at room temperature. The Zn/Co-ICP@GOx was confirmed to be a robust sphere structure with an average diameter of 147.53 ± 20.40 nm. It integrated the catalytic activity of natural enzyme (GOx) and mimetic peroxidase (Co (П)) all in one, efficiently acting as a biocatalytic cascade platform for glucose catalytic reaction. Exhibiting good multi-enzyme catalytic activity, stability, and selectivity, Zn/Co-ICP@GOx can be used for colorimetric glucose detection. The linear range was 0.01-1.0 mmol/L, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.005 mmol/L. As the glucose metabolism is a common expression of bacteria, the remaining glucose can indirectly represent the bacterial viability. Hence, a Zn/Co-ICP@GOx-based colorimetric method was developed for monitoring of bacterial viability. The color was intuitively observed with the naked eye, and the bacterial viability was accurately quantified by measurement of the absorbance at 510 nm. The method was applied to determination of bacterial viability in water and milk samples with recoveries of 99.0-103% and RSD of 0.43-7.5%. The method was rapid (less than 40 min) and applicable to different bacterial species irrespective of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, providing a universal and promising strategy for real-time monitoring of bacterial viability.

Abstract
A nanozyme based on graphene oxide modified with Fe3O4 NPs, CuO NPs, and cucurbit[6]uril has been successfully fabricated by a simple sonochemical technique. By employing CB[6] as a specific binding pocket and Fe3O4@CuO-GO as a peroxidase mimic, this novel nanozyme (BN I) is equipped with molecular recognition ability and enhanced peroxidase-like activity. On the basis of the inhibition effect of homocysteine (Hcy) towards the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) catalyzed by BN I, a simple colorimetric method is established for the sensitive and selective determination of Hcy. This proposed method displays a good linear response in the range 5-200 μM with a detection limit of 1.8 μM. In the practical assay of human plasma samples, the relative standard deviations (RSD) are lower than 11% and the recoveries are between 98.0 and 104.9%. In the assay of human urine samples, the RSD are below 9.0% and the recoveries range from 94.0 to 103.5%. The colorimetric method presented offers a convenient and accurate way for the determination of biomarkers in point-of-care testing (POCT).

Abstract
The proposed aptamer- and antibiotic-based dual detection sensor, combines copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) as an effective approach for the recognition and quantification of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as a pathogenic bacteria. A facile method for CuNCs based on vancomycin as the template using a fluorescence platform was proposed for the recognition of the S. aureus whole cells via antibiotic and aptamer. Using dual receptor functionalized CuNCs linked to vancomycin and a specific aptamer and during aggregation induce emission process enhanced fluorescence signal linearly with S. aureus concentrations between 102-108 CFU/mL, and the detection limit was 80 CFU/mL after 45 min as the optimum incubation time. Non-target bacteria generated negative results, proving the high specificity of the presented sensor. This strategy showed recoveries ranging 86%-98% in milk as real sample and can be used for the development of universal detection platforms for efficient and specific S. aureus detection with great potential applications for monitoring pathogenic bacteria.
