Abstract
Fossil fuels are considered vital natural energy resources on the Earth, and sulfur is a natural component present in them. The combustion of fossil fuels releases a large amount of sulfur in the form of SO x in the atmosphere. SO x is the major cause of environmental problems, mainly air pollution. The demand for fuels with ultra-low sulfur is growing rapidly. In this aspect, microorganisms are proven extremely effective in removing sulfur through a process known as biodesulfurization. A major part of sulfur in fossil fuels (coal and oil) is present in thiophenic structures such as dibenzothiophene (DBT) and substituted DBTs. In this study, the identification and characterization of DBT desulfurizing bacteria (Chryseobacterium sp. IS, Gordonia sp. 4N, Mycolicibacterium sp. J2, and Rhodococcus sp. J16) based on their specific biochemical constituents were conducted using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). By differentiating DBT desulfurizing bacteria, researchers can gain insights into their unique characteristics, thus leading to improved biodesulfurization strategies. SERS was used to differentiate all these species based on their biochemical differences and different SERS vibrational bands, thus emerging as a potential technique. Moreover, multivariate data analysis techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were employed to differentiate these DBT desulfurizing bacteria on the basis of their characteristic SERS spectral signals. For all these isolates, the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity are above 90%, and an AUC (area under the curve) value of close to 1 was achieved for all PLS-DA models.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e27824. [PMID: 38510034 PMCID: PMC10950671 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
In a previous publication, we trained predictive models based on Raman bulk spectra of microorganisms placed on a silicon dioxide protected silver mirror slide to make predictions for new Raman spectra, unknown to the models, of microorganisms placed on a different substrate, namely stainless steel. Now we have combined large sections of this data and trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) to make predictions for single cell Raman spectra. We show that a database based on microbial bulk material is conditionally suited to make predictions for the same species in terms of single cells. Data of 13 different microorganisms (bacteria and yeasts) were used. Two of the 13 species could be identified 90% correctly and five other species 71%-88%. The six remaining species were correctly predicted by only 0%-49%. Especially stronger fluorescence in bulk material compared to single cells but also photodegradation of carotenoids are some effects that can complicate predictions for single cells based on bulk data. The results could be helpful in assessing universal Raman tools or databases.

Enzyme-free sensitive SERS biosensor for the detection of thalassemia-associated microRNA-210 using a cascade dual-signal amplification strategy. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1292:342255. [PMID: 38309848 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342255] [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: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND β-thalassemia is a blood disorder caused by autosomal mutations. Gene modulation therapy to activate the γ-globin gene to induce fetal hemoglobin (HbF) synthesis has become a new option for the treatment of β-thalassemia. MicroRNA-210 (miR-210) contributes to studying the mechanism regulating γ-globin gene expression and is a potential biomarker for rapid β-thalassemia screening. Traditional miRNA detection methods perform well but necessitate complex and time-consuming miRNA sample processing. Therefore, the development of a sensitive, accurate, and simple miRNA level monitoring method is essential. RESULTS We have developed a non-enzymatic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor utilizing a signal cascade amplification of catalytic hairpin assembly reaction (CHA) and proximity hybridization-induced hybridization chain reaction (HCR). Au@Ag NPs were used as the SERS substrate, and methylene blue (MB)- modified DNA hairpins were used as the SERS tags. The SERS assay involved two stages: implementing the CHA-HCR cascade signal amplification strategy and conducting SERS measurements on the resulting product. The HCR was started by the products of target-triggered CHA, which formed lengthy nicked double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) on the Au@Ag NPs surface to which numerous SERS tags were attached, leading to a significant increase in the SERS signal intensity. High specificity and sensitivity for miR-210 detection was achieved by monitoring MB SERS intensity changes. The suggested SERS biosensor has a low detection limit of 5.13 fM and is capable of detecting miR-210 at concentration between 10 fM and 1.0 nM. SIGNIFICANCE The biosensor can detect miR-210 levels in the erythrocytes of β-thalassemia patients, enabling rapid screening for β-thalassemia and suggesting a novel approach for investigating the regulation mechanism of miR-210 on γ-globin gene expression. In the meantime, this innovative technique has the potential to detect additional miRNAs and to become an important tool for the early diagnosis of diseases and for biomedical research.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 305:123536. [PMID: 37862841 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
Despite the technological development in Raman instrumentation that has democratized access to 2D sample scanning capabilities, most quantitative surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analyses are still performed by only acquiring a single or a few spectra per sample and performing univariate data analysis on those. This strategy can however reach its limit when analytes need to be detected and quantified in complex matrices. In that case, surface fouling and competition between the target analyte and interfering compounds can impair univariate SERS data analysis, underlining the need for a more in-depth data analysis strategy based on exploiting of full-spectrum information. In this paper, a multivariate data analysis strategy was developed, for analyzing SERS maps of methotrexate (MTX) from patient samples, including all steps from baseline correction, selection of wavelength, and the relevant pixels in the map (image threshold segmentation), as well as quantitative model construction based on partial-least squares regression. Among the different baseline correction methods evaluated, standard normal variable transformation and Savitzky-Golay smoothing proved to be more suitable, while the genetic algorithm wavelength screening method was able to screen out MTX-related SERS spectral regions more efficiently. Importantly, with the here-developed process, it was sufficient to use MTX-spiked commercial serum when building quantitative models, removing the need to work with MTX-spiked patient samples, and consequently enabling time- and resource-saving quantitative analyses. Besides, the developed multivariate data analysis approach showed superior performances compared with univariate analysis, with 30 % improved sensitivity (detection limit of 5.7 µM), 25 % higher reproducibility (average relative standard variation of 15.6 %), and 110 % better accuracy (average prediction error of -10.5 %).

Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop a simple but rapid method for the determination of foodborne pathogens in complex matrices (beverages) by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with Au nanostar solid-phase substrates. The star-shaped singlet Au nanostructure was formed on the surface of a stainless steel sheet by chemical replacement reaction. Rhodamine 6G verified the sensitivity and reproducibility of this substrate, and the relative standard deviations of the SERS intensity at 1312 cm-1, 1364 cm-1, and 1510 cm-1 displacements were 3.40%, 5.64%, and 3.48%, respectively. By detecting four pathogens in beverage samples on Au nanostar substrates, the utility of the SERS assay was demonstrated, while the combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) further enabled the isolation and identification of pathogens. The results of spiked beverages were validated in conventional culture identification and Vitek 2 Compact biochemical identification system experiments. Thus, this research demonstrated that Au nanostar substrates can be effectively utilized for the recognition of pathogenic bacteria and have immense promise to advance the progress of quick detection of foodborne pathogens and food safety.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of mixed bacteria accurately and sensitively is a major challenge in microbial quality control field. In this study, we proposed a label-free SERS technique coupled with partial least squares regression (PLSR) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) for quantitative analysis of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium simultaneously. SERS-active and reproducible Raman spectra can be acquired directly upon the bacteria and Au@Ag@SiO2 nanoparticle composites on the surface of gold foil substrates. After applying different preprocessing models, SERS-PLSR and SERS-ANNs quantitative analysis models were developed to map SERS spectra of concentrations of the Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium, respectively. Both models achieved high prediction accuracy and low prediction error, while the performance of SERS-ANNs model in both quality of fit (R2 > 0.95) and accuracy of predictions (RMSE < 0.06) was superior to SERS-PLSR model. Therefore, it is feasible to develop simultaneous quantitative analysis of mixed pathogenic bacteria by proposed SERS methodology.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has gained increasing attention because it provides rich chemical information and high sensitivity, being applicable in many scientific fields including medical diagnosis, forensic analysis, food control, and microbiology. Although SERS is often limited by the lack of selectivity in the analysis of samples with complex matrices, the use of multivariate statistics and mathematical tools has been demonstrated to be an efficient strategy to circumvent this issue. Importantly, since the rapid development of artificial intelligence has been promoting the implementation of a wide variety of advanced multivariate methods in SERS, a discussion about the extent of their synergy and possible standardization becomes necessary. This critical review comprises the principles, advantages, and limitations of coupling SERS with chemometrics and machine learning for both qualitative and quantitative analytical applications. Recent advances and trends in combining SERS with uncommonly used but powerful data analysis tools are also discussed. Finally, a section on benchmarking and tips for selecting the suitable chemometric/machine learning method is included. We believe this will help to move SERS from an alternative detection strategy to a general analytical technique for real-life applications.

Silver Nanostar-Based SERS for the Discrimination of Clinically Relevant Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae Species and Clones. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:149. [PMID: 36831915 PMCID: PMC9953856 DOI: 10.3390/bios13020149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The development of rapid, reliable, and low-cost methods that enable discrimination among clinically relevant bacteria is crucial, with emphasis on those listed as WHO Global Priority 1 Critical Pathogens, such as carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and carbapenem-resistant or ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. To address this problem, we developed and validated a protocol of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with silver nanostars for the discrimination of A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae species, and their globally disseminated and clinically relevant antibiotic resistant clones. Isolates were characterized by mixing bacterial colonies with silver nanostars, followed by deposition on filter paper for SERS spectrum acquisition. Spectral data were processed with unsupervised and supervised multivariate data analysis methods, including principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA), respectively. Our proposed SERS procedure using silver nanostars adsorbed to the bacteria, followed by multivariate data analysis, enabled differentiation between and within species. This pilot study demonstrates the potential of SERS for the rapid discrimination of clinically relevant A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae species and clones, displaying several advantages such as the ease of silver nanostars synthesis and the possible use of a handheld spectrometer, which makes this approach ideal for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate identification of bacteria is essential to ensure food safety and prevent pathogenic bacterial infection. In this study, a highly efficient method was established for accurately identifying bacterial species by applying Ag NP-filter paper based Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) analysis and Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) statistical methods. The flexible Ag NP filter paper substrate with high sensitivity and uniformity was prepared by a facile and low-cost silver mirror reaction at room temperature, which exhibited desirable SERS activity in bacteria detection. Furthermore, PLS-DA was successfully employed to distinguish SERS spectra from S. aureus CMCC 26003, E. faecalis ATCC29212 and L. monocytogenes ATCC 19115 with a sensitivity of 93.3-100%, specificity of 96.7-97%, and overall predicting accuracy of 95.8%. This exploratory study demonstrates that a Ag NP-filter paper based SERS sensor coupled with PLS-DA has great potential for rapid and effective detection and identification of bacteria.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are the leading causes of food-borne and water-borne infections, and one of the most serious public threats. Traditional bacterial detection techniques, including plate culture, polymerase chain reaction, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay are time-consuming, while hindering precise therapy initiation. Thus, rapid detection of bacteria is of vital clinical importance in reducing the misuse of antibiotics. Among the most recently developed methods, the label-free optical approach is one of the most promising methods that is able to address this challenge due to its rapidity, simplicity, and relatively low-cost. This paper reviews optical methods such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, and dark-field microscopic imaging techniques for the rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria in a label-free manner. The advantages and disadvantages of these label-free technologies for bacterial detection are summarized in order to promote their application for rapid bacterial detection in source-limited environments and for drug resistance assessments.

Escherichia coli Enumeration in a Capillary-Driven Microfluidic Chip with SERS. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12090765. [PMID: 36140150 PMCID: PMC9497094 DOI: 10.3390/bios12090765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Pathogen detection is still a challenging issue for public health, especially in food products. A selective preconcentration step is also necessary if the target pathogen concentration is very low or if the sample volume is limited in the analysis. Plate counting (24–48 h) methods should be replaced by novel biosensor systems as an alternative reliable pathogen detection technique. The usage of a capillary-driven microfluidic chip is an alternative method for pathogen detection, with the combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements. Here, we constructed microchambers with capillary microchannels to provide nanoparticle–pathogen transportation from one chamber to the other. Escherichia coli (E. coli) was selected as a model pathogen and specific antibody-modified magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as a capture probe in a complex milk matrix. MNPs that captured E. coli were transferred in a capillary-driven microfluidic chip consisting of four chambers, and 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP)-labelled gold nanorods (Au NRs) were used as the Raman probe in the capillary-driven microfluidic chip. The MNPs provided immunomagnetic (IMS) separation and preconcentration of analytes from the sample matrix and then, 4-ATP-labelled Au NRs provided an SERS response by forming sandwich immunoassay structures in the last chamber of the capillary-driven microfluidic chip. The developed SERS-based method could detect 101–107 cfu/mL of E. coli with the total analysis time of less than 60 min. Selectivity of the developed method was also tested by using Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as analytes, and very weak signals were observed.
