Abstract
Encapsulation of single cells is a powerful technique used in various fields, such as regenerative medicine, drug delivery, tissue regeneration, cell-based therapies, and biotechnology. It offers a method to protect cells by providing cytocompatible coatings to strengthen cells against mechanical and environmental perturbations. Silk fibroin, derived from the silkworm Bombyx mori, is a promising protein biomaterial for cell encapsulation due to the cytocompatibility and capacity to maintain cell functionality. Here, THP-1 cells, a human leukemia monocytic cell line, were encapsulated with chemically modified silk polyelectrolytes through electrostatic layer-by-layer deposition. The effectiveness of the silk nanocoating was assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal microscopy and on cell viability and proliferation by Alamar Blue assay and live/dead staining. An analysis of the mechanical properties of the encapsulated cells was conducted using atomic force microscopy nanoindentation to measure elasticity maps and cellular stiffness. After the cells were encapsulated in silk, an increase in their stiffness was observed. Based on this observation, we developed a mechanical predictive model to estimate the variations in stiffness in relation to the thickness of the coating. By tuning the cellular assembly and biomechanics, these encapsulations promote systems that protect cells during biomaterial deposition or processing in general.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are known for their antibacterial properties and their ability to promote wound healing. By incorporating silver nanoparticles into medical gauze, the resulting composite material shows promise as an advanced wound dressing. However, clinical applications are hindered by challenges related to the stability of silver nanoparticle loading on the gauze as nanoparticle leaching can compromise antibacterial efficacy. In this study, silver nanoparticles were immobilized onto polydopamine (PDA) submicron particles, which were then used to modify medical gauze. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was employed to analyze the elemental distribution on the modified gauze, confirming successful surface modification. The antibacterial properties of the modified gauze were assessed using a laser scanning confocal microscope (CLSM). The results demonstrated a significant reduction in the adhesion rates of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by 99.1% and 63%, respectively, on the PDA-Ag-modified gauze. Optical density (OD) measurements at 590 nm indicated that the modified gauze effectively inhibited biofilm formation, underscoring its potent antimicrobial capabilities. Further antibacterial efficacy was evaluated by diluting and plating co-cultured bacterial solutions with the modified dressing, followed by 24 h incubation and colony counting. The gauze exhibited an antibacterial efficiency of 99.99% against E. coli and 99.8% against S. aureus. Additionally, cell compatibility tests, involving the co-culture of PDA-Ag composites with human cells, demonstrated excellent biocompatibility. These findings suggest that PDA-Ag-modified medical gauze holds significant potential for the treatment of infected wounds, offering a promising solution to improve wound care through enhanced antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Gallium (Ga) is a well-known liquid metals (LMs) that possesses the features, such as fluidity, low viscosity, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and relative low toxicity. Owing to the weak interactions between Ga atoms, Ga LMs can be adopted for fabrication of various Ga LMs-based functional materials via ultrasonic treatment and mechanical grinding. Moreover, many organic compounds/polymers can be coated on the surface of LMs-based materials through coordination between oxidized outlayers of Ga LMs and functional groups of organic components. Over the past decades, different strategies have been reported for synthesizing Ga LMs-based functional materials and their biomedical applications have been intensively investigated. Although some review articles have published over the past few years, a concise review is still needed to advance the latest developments in biomedical fields. The main context can be majorly divided into two parts. In the first section, various strategies for fabrication of Ga LMs-based functional materials via top-down strategies were introduced and discussed. Following that, biomedical applications of Ga LMs-based functional materials were summarized and design Ga LMs-based functional materials with enhanced performance for cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) and PTT combined therapy were highlighted. We trust this review article will be beneficial for scientists to comprehend this promising field and greatly advance future development for fabrication of other Ga LMs-based functional materials with better performance for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The coupling of biological organisms with electrodes enables the development of sustainable, low cost, and potentially self-sustained biosensors. A critical aspect is to obtain portable bioelectrodes where the biological material is immobilized on the electrode surface to be utilized on demand. Herein, we developed an approach for the rapid entrapment and immobilization of metabolically active yeast cells in a biocompatible polydopamine layer, which does not require a separate and time-consuming synthesis. The reported approach allows obtaining the "electrical wire" of intact and active yeast cells with resulting current generation from glucose oxidation. Additionally, the electrochemical performance of the biohybrid yeast-based system has been characterized in the presence of CuSO4, a widely used pesticide, in the environmentally relevant concentration range of 20-100 μM. The system enabled the rapid preliminary monitoring of the contaminant based on variations in current generation, with a limit of detection of 12.5 μM CuSO4. The present approach for the facile preparation of portable yeast-based electrochemical biosensors paves the way for the future development of sustainable systems for environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Single-cell nanoencapsulation (SCNE) has great potential in the enhancement of therapeutic effects of probiotic microbes. However, the material scope has been limited to water-soluble compounds to avoid non-biocompatible organic solvents that are harmful to living cells. In this work, the SCNE of probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus with water-insoluble luteolin and Fe3+ ions is achieved by the vortex-assisted, biphasic water-oil system. The process creates L. acidophilus nanoencapsulated in the luteolin-Fe3+ shells that empower the cells with extrinsic properties, such as resistance to lysozyme attack, anti-ROS ability, and α-amylase-inhibition activity, as well as sustaining viability under acidic conditions. The proposed protocol, embracing water-insoluble flavonoids as shell components in SCNE, will be an advanced add-on to the chemical toolbox for the manipulation of living cells at the single-cell level.

Abstract
Adequate intake of live probiotics is beneficial to human health and wellbeing because they can help treat or prevent a variety of health conditions. However, the viability of probiotics is reduced by the harsh environments they experience during passage through the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Consequently, the oral delivery of viable probiotics is a significant challenge. Probiotic encapsulation provides a potential solution to this problem. However, the production methods used to create conventional encapsulation technologies often damage probiotics. Moreover, the delivery systems produced often do not have the required physicochemical attributes or robustness for food applications. Single-cell encapsulation is based on forming a protective coating around a single probiotic cell. These coatings may be biofilms or biopolymer layers designed to protect the probiotic from the harsh gastrointestinal environment, enhance their colonization, and introduce additional beneficial functions. This article reviews the factors affecting the oral delivery of probiotics, analyses the shortcomings of existing encapsulation technologies, and highlights the potential advantages of single-cell encapsulation. It also reviews the various approaches available for single-cell encapsulation of probiotics, including their implementation and the characteristics of the delivery systems they produce. In addition, the mechanisms by which single-cell encapsulation can improve the oral bioavailability and health benefits of probiotics are described. Moreover, the benefits, limitations, and safety issues of probiotic single-cell encapsulation technology for applications in food and beverages are analyzed. Finally, future directions and potential challenges to the widespread adoption of single-cell encapsulation of probiotics are highlighted.

Abstract
Bacteria-based therapy has spotlighted an unprecedented potential in treating a range of diseases, given that bacteria can be used as both drug vehicles and therapeutic agents. However, the use of bacteria for disease treatment often suffers from unsatisfactory outcomes, due largely to their suboptimal bioavailability, dose-dependent toxicity, and low targeting colonization. In the past few years, substantial efforts have been devoted to tackling these difficulties, among which methods capable of integrating bacteria with multiple functions have been extensively pursued. Different from conventional genetic engineering and modern synthetic bioengineering, surface modification of bacteria has emerged as a simple yet flexible strategy to introduce different functional motifs. Polydopamine, which can be easily formed via in situ dopamine oxidation and self-polymerization, is an appealing biomimetic polymer that has been widely applied for interfacial modification and functionalization. By virtue of its catechol groups, polydopamine can be efficiently codeposited with a multitude of functional elements on diverse surfaces.In this Account, we summarize the recent advances from our group with a focus on the interfacial polymerization-mediated functionalization of bacteria for advanced microbial therapy. First, we present the optimized strategy for bacterial surface modification under cytocompatible conditions by in situ dopamine polymerization. Taking advantage of the hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, Michael addition, and Schiff base reaction with polydopamine, diverse functional small molecules and macromolecules are facilely codeposited onto the bacterial surface. Namely, monomodal, dual-modal, and multimodal surface modification of bacteria can be achieved by dopamine self-deposition, codeposition with a unitary composition, and codeposition with a set of multiple components, respectively. Second, we outline the regulation of bacterial functions by surface modification. The formed polydopamine surface endows bacteria with the ability to resist in vivo insults, such as gastrointestinal tract stressors and immune clearance, resulting in greatly improved bioavailability. Integration with specific ligands or therapeutic components enables the modified bacteria to increase targeting accumulation and colonization at lesion sites or play synergistic effects in disease treatment. Bacteria codeposited with different bioactive moieties, such as protein antigens, antibodies, and immunoadjuvants, are even able to actively interact with the host, particularly to elicit immune responses by either suppressing immune overactivation to promote the reversion of pathological inflammations or provoking protective innate and/or adaptive immunity to inhibit pathogenic invaders. Third, we highlight the applications of surface-modified bacteria as multifunctional living therapeutics in disease treatment, especially alleviating inflammatory bowel diseases via oral delivery and intervening in different types of cancer through systemic or intratumoral injection. Finally, we discuss the challenges and prospects of dopamine polymerization-mediated multifunctionalization for preparing advanced bacterial therapeutics as well as their bench to bedside translation. We anticipate that this Account can provide an insightful overview of bacterial therapy and inspire innovative thinking and new efforts to develop next-generation living therapeutics for treating various diseases.

Abstract
Living organisms in nature, such as magnetotactic bacteria and eggs, generate various organic-inorganic hybrid materials, providing unique functionalities. Inspired by such natural hybrid materials, researchers can reasonably integrate biomaterials with living organisms either internally or externally to enhance their inherent capabilities and generate new functionalities. Currently, the approaches to enhancing organismal function through biomaterial intervention have undergone rapid development, progressing from the cellular level to the subcellular or multicellular level. In this review, we will concentrate on three key strategies related to biomaterial-guided bioenhancement, including biointerface engineering, artificial organelles, and 3D multicellular immune niches. For biointerface engineering, excess of amino acid residues on the surfaces of cells or viruses enables the assembly of materials to form versatile artificial shells, facilitating vaccine engineering and biological camouflage. Artificial organelles refer to artificial subcellular reactors made of biomaterials that persist in the cytoplasm, which imparts cells with on-demand regulatory ability. Moreover, macroscale biomaterials with spatiotemporal regulation characters enable the local recruitment and aggregation of cells, denoting multicellular niche to enhance crosstalk between cells and antigens. Collectively, harnessing the programmable chemical and biological attributes of biomaterials for organismal function enhancement shows significant potential in forthcoming biomedical applications.

Abstract
We present a novel study introducing a durable and robust covalent-organic framework (COF) nanocoating, developed in situ on living cells. This COF nanocoating demonstrates remarkable resistance against a diverse range of lethal stressors, including high temperature, extreme pH, ultraviolet radiation, toxic metal ions, organic pollutants, and strong oxidative stress. Notably, the nanocoating exhibits exceptional cell survival enhancement under high temperature and strongly acidic conditions, an aspect yet unexplored in the case of metal-organic framework nanocoatings and other nanomaterials. Moreover, functionalization of the nanocoating with an exogenous enzyme catalase enables yeast fermentation and ethanol production even under strong oxidative stress. Our findings establish the durable and robust COF nanocoating as a reliable platform for safeguarding vulnerable microorganisms to allow their utilisation in a wide range of adverse environments.

Abstract
Nanoencapsulation of living cells within artificial shells is a powerful approach for augmenting the inherent capacity of cells and enabling the acquisition of extrinsic functions. However, the current state of the field requires the development of nanoshells that can dynamically sense and adapt to environmental changes by undergoing transformations in form and composition. This paper reports the compositional transformation of an enzyme-embedded nanoshell of Fe3+ -trimesic acid complex to an iron phosphate shell in phosphate-containing media. The cytocompatible transformation allows the nanoshells to release functional molecules without loss of activities and biorecognition, while preserving the initial shell properties, such as cytoprotection. Demonstrations include the lysis and killing of Escherichia coli by lysozyme, and the secretion of interleukin-2 by Jurkat T cells in response to paracrine stimulation by antibodies. This work on micrometric Transformers will benefit the creation of cell-in-shell nanobiohybrids that can interact with their surroundings in active and adaptive ways.

Abstract
Polydopamine-based materials have been widely investigated for incorporation in energetic nanocomposites due to their outstanding adherence. However, these materials are often prepared in alkaline environments, which negatively affects Al nanoparticles. In this study, a one-pot assembly was devised for the preparation of a polydopamine-based Al/CuO energetic nanocomposite material (Al/PDA/CuO) in a neutral environment. The CuO and Al nanoparticles of the Al/PDA/CuO nanothermite were uniformly dispersed and closely combined. Consequently, the Al/PDA/CuO nanothermite was able to release more heat (2069.7 J/g) than physically mixed Al/CuO (1438.9 J/g). Furthermore, the universality of using polydopamine in the assembly of different types of energetic nanocomposite materials was verified, including an organic energetic material-nanothermit (HMX/PDA/Al/CuO nanothermite) and an inorganic oxidant-metal nanocatalyst (AP/PDA/Fe2O3). This study provides a promising route for the preparation of polydopamine-based energetic nanocomposites in neutral aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Protocells have garnered considerable attention from cell biologists, materials scientists, and synthetic biologists. Phase-separating coacervate microdroplets have emerged as a promising cytomimetic model because they can internalize and concentrate components from dilute surrounding environments. However, the membrane-free nature of such coacervates leads to coalescence into a bulk phase, a phenomenon that is not representative of the cells they are designed to mimic. Herein, we develop a membranized peptide coacervate (PC) with oppositely charged oligopeptides as the molecularly crowded cytosol and a metal-phenolic network (MPN) coating as the membrane. The hybrid protocell efficiently internalizes various bioactive macromolecules (e.g., bovine serum albumin and immunoglobulin G) (>90%) while also resisting radicals due to the semipermeable cytoprotective membrane. Notably, the resultant PC@MPNs are capable of anabolic cascade reactions and remain in discrete protocellular populations without coalescence. Finally, we demonstrate that the MPN protocell membrane can be postfunctionalized with various functional molecules (e.g., folic acid and fluorescence dye) to more closely resemble actual cells with complex membranes, such as recognition molecules, which allows for drug delivery. This membrane-bound cytosolic protocell structure paves the way for innovative synthetic cells with structural and functional complexity.

Abstract
Manipulation and control of cell chemotaxis remain an underexplored territory despite vast potential in various fields, such as cytotherapeutics, sensors, and even cell robots. Herein is achieved the chemical control over chemotactic movement and direction of Jurkat T cells, as a representative model, by the construction of cell-in-catalytic-coat structures in single-cell nanoencapsulation. Armed with the catalytic power of glucose oxidase (GOx) in the artificial coat, the nanobiohybrid cytostructures, denoted as Jurkat[Lipo_GOx] , exhibit controllable, redirected chemotactic movement in response to d-glucose gradients, in the opposite direction to the positive-chemotaxis direction of naïve, uncoated Jurkat cells in the same gradients. The chemically endowed, reaction-based fugetaxis of Jurkat[Lipo_GOx] operates orthogonally and complementarily to the endogenous, binding/recognition-based chemotaxis that remains intact after the formation of a GOx coat. For instance, the chemotactic velocity of Jurkat[Lipo_GOx] can be adjusted by varying the combination of d-glucose and natural chemokines (CXCL12 and CCL19) in the gradient. This work offers an innovative chemical tool for bioaugmenting living cells at the single-cell level through the use of catalytic cell-in-coat structures.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has fascinating properties such as inherent biocompatibility, simple preparation, strong near-infrared absorption, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and strong metal ion chelation, which have catalyzed extensive research in PDA-containing multifunctional nano-systems particularly for biomedical applications. Thus, it is imperative to overview synthetic strategies of various PDA-containing nanoparticles (NPs) for state-of-the-art cancer multi-mode diagnoses and therapies applications, and offer a timely and comprehensive summary. In this review, we will focus on the synthetic approaches of PDA NPs, and summarize the construction strategies of PDA-containing NPs with different structure forms. Additionally, the application of PDA-containing NPs in bioimaging such as photoacoustic imaging, fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and other imaging modalities will be reviewed. We will especially offer an overview of their therapeutic applications in tumor chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, photocatalytic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, radionuclide therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy and combination therapy. At the end, the current trends, limitations and future prospects of PDA-containing nano-systems will be discussed. This review aims to provide guidelines for new scientists in the field of how to design PDA-containing NPs and what has been achieved in this area, while offering comprehensive insights into the potential of PDA-containing nano-systems used in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock is the primary cause of death in patients with severe trauma, and the development of rapid and efficient hemostatic methods is of great significance in saving the lives of trauma patients. In this study, a polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber membrane was prepared by electrospinning. A PCL-PDA loading system was developed by modifying the surface of polydopamine (PDA), using inspiration from mussel adhesion protein, and the efficient and stable loading of thrombin (TB) was realized to ensure the bioactivity of TB. The new thrombin loading system overcomes the disadvantages of harsh storage conditions, poor strength, and ease of falling off, and it can use thrombin to start a rapid coagulation cascade reaction, which has the characteristics of fast hemostasis, good biocompatibility, high safety, and a wide range of hemostasis. The physicochemical properties and biocompatibility of the PCL-PDA-TB membrane were verified by scanning electron microscopy, the cell proliferation test, the cell adhesion test, and the extract cytotoxicity test. Red blood cell adhesion, platelet adhesion, dynamic coagulation time, and animal models all verified the coagulation effect of the PCL-PDA-TB membrane. Therefore, the PCL-PDA-TB membrane has great potential in wound hemostasis applications, and should be widely used in various traumatic hemostatic scenarios.

Abstract
Climate changes, drought, the salinity of water and soil, the emergence of new breeds of pests and pathogens, the industrialization of countries, and environmental contamination are among the factors limiting the production of agricultural products. The use of chemicals (in the form of fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides) to enhance products against biotic and abiotic stresses has limitations. To eliminate the effects of agricultural chemicals, synthetic agrochemicals should be replaced with natural substances and useful microorganisms. To be more effective and efficient, plant biocontrol bacteria need a coating layer around themselves to protect them from adverse conditions. Whey protein, a valuable by-product of the cheese industry, is one of the important natural polymers. Due to its high protein content, safety, and biodegradability, whey can have many applications in agriculture and encapsulation of bacteria to resist pests and plant diseases. This compound is a rich source of amino acids that can activate plant defense systems and defense enzymes. Considering the amazing potentialities of formulation whey protein, this review attends to the efficiency of whey protein as coating layers on fruit and vegetables and in the packaging system to increase the shelf life of agricultural products against phytopathogens.

Abstract
Currently, the global trend of several hundred thousand new confirmed COVID-19 patients per day has not abated significantly. Serological antibody detection has become an important tool for the self-screening of people. While the most commonly used colorimetric lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) methods for the detection of COVID-19 antibodies are limited by low sensitivity and a lack of quantification ability. This leads to poor accuracy in the screening of early COVID-19 patients. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an accurate and sensitive autonomous antibody detection technique that will effectively reduce the COVID-19 infection rate. Here, we developed a three-line LFIA immunoassay based on polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles for COVID-19 IgG and IgM antibodies detection to determine the degree of infection. The PDA-based three-line LFIA has a detection limit of 1.51 and 2.34 ng/mL for IgM and IgG, respectively. This assay reveals a good linearity for both IgM and IgG antibodies detection and is also able to achieve quantitative detection by measuring the optical density of test lines. In comparison, the commercial AuNP-based LFIA showed worse quantification results than the developed PDA-based LFIA for low-concentration COVID-19 antibody samples, making it difficult to distinguish between negative and positive samples. Therefore, the developed PDA-based three-line LFIA platform has the accurate quantitative capability and high sensitivity, which could be a powerful tool for the large-scale self-screening of people.

Abstract
Minimal understanding of the formation mechanism and structure of polydopamine (pDA) and its natural analogue, eumelanin, impedes the practical application of these versatile polymers and limits our knowledge of the origin of melanoma. The lack of conclusive structural evidence stems from the insolubility of these materials, which has spawned significantly diverse suggestions of pDA's structure in the literature. We discovered that pDA is soluble in certain ionic liquids. Using these ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents, we present an experimental methodology to solvate pDA, enabling us to identify pDA's chemical structure. The resolved pDA structure consists of self-assembled supramolecular aggregates that contribute to the increasing complexity of the polymer. The underlying molecular energetics of pDA solvation and a macroscopic picture of the disruption of the aggregates using IL solvents have been investigated, along with studies of the aggregation mechanism in water.

Abstract
Bacteria have been widely exploited as therapeutic agents for immunotherapy due to their native immunogenicity, living characteristic, and genetic manipulability. However, conventional bacteria-based immunotherapy often suffers from dose-dependent safety issues and poor treatment efficacy. Harnessing surface modification of bacteria to carry additional immune modulators has emerged as a promising strategy to reduce bacterial dose and synergistically enhance the activation of immune responses. In this paper, bacteria-mediated immunomodulation and the underlying mechanisms are introduced, followed by a summarization on the concept of using surface-modification approaches including physical encapsulation, chemical conjugation, and metabolic labelling to combine diverse immune functions. The applications of modified bacteria as therapeutics for immunotherapy toward cancer and inflammatory bowel disease have been expounded further. Both challenges and future perspectives regarding the utilization of surface-modified bacteria for immunomodulation are also proposed. This work offers unique insights into developing safe yet potent bacteria-based therapeutics for advanced immunotherapy.

However, immobilization of Cr (III) remains a challenge as there is a limited supply of electron donors. A greener and cleaner option for donating external electrons was using bioelectrochemical systems to perform the microbial reduction of Cr(VI). In this system, we constructed a polydopamine (PDA) decorated Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (S. oneidensis MR-1) bioelectrode with bidirectional electron transport, abbreviated as PDA@S. oneidensis MR-1. The conjugated PDA distributed on the intracellular and extracellular of individual S. oneidensis MR-1 has been shown to accelerate electron transfer by outer membrane C-type cytochromes and flavin-bound MtrC/OmcA pathway by various electrochemical analyses. As expected, the PDA@S. oneidensis MR-1 biofilm achieved 88.1% Cr (VI) removal efficiency (RE) and 58.1% Cr (III) immobilization efficiency (IE) within 24 h under the autotrophic conditions at the optimal voltage (-150 mV) compared with the control potential (0 mV). The PDA@S. oneidensis MR-1 biofilm showed increased RE activity was attributed to the shortening of the distance between individual bacteria by PDA. This research provides a viable strategy for in situ bioremediation of Cr(VI) polluted aquatic environment.

Enhanced transmembrane electron transfer in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 using gold nanoparticles for high-performance microbial fuel cells. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2022; 5:124-132. [PMID: 36605799 PMCID: PMC9765428 DOI: 10.1039/d2na00638c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Low efficiency of extracellular electron transfer (EET) is a major bottleneck in developing high-performance microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Herein, we construct Shewanella oneidensis MR-1@Au for the bioanode of MFCs. Through performance recovery experiments of mutants, we proved that abundant Au nanoparticles not only tightly covered the bacteria surface, but were also distributed in the periplasm and cytoplasm, and even embedded in the outer and inner membranes of the cell. These Au nanoparticles could act as electron conduits to enable highly efficient electron transfer between S. oneidensis MR-1 and electrodes. Strikingly, the maximum power density of the S. oneidensis MR-1@Au bioanode reached up to 3749 mW m-2, which was 17.4 times higher than that with the native bacteria, reaching the highest performance yet reported in MFCs using Au or Au-based nanocomposites as the anode. This work elucidates the role of Au nanoparticles in promoting transmembrane and extracellular electron transfer from the perspective of molecular biology and electrochemistry, while alleviating bottlenecks in MFC performances.

Biopolymer coating for particle surface engineering and their biomedical applications. Mater Today Bio 2022; 16:100407.

Abstract
Surface engineering of particles based on a polymeric coating is of great interest in materials design and applications. Due to the disadvantages of non-biodegradability and undesirable biocompatibility, the application of petroleum-based synthetic polymers coating in the biomedical field has been greatly limited. In addition, there is lack of a universal surface modification method to functionalize particles of different compositions, sizes, shapes, and structures. Thus, it is imperative to develop a versatile biopolymeric coating with good biocompatibility and tunable biodegradability for the preparation of functional particle materials regardless of their surface chemical and physical structures. Recently, the natural polysaccharide polymers (e.g. chitosan and cellulose), polyphenol-based biopolymers (e.g. polydopamine and tannic acid), and proteins (e.g. amyloid-like aggregates) have been utilized in surface modification of particles, and applications of these modified particles in the field of biomedicine have been also intensively exploited. In this review, the preparation of the above three coatings on particles surface are summarized, and the applications of these materials in drug loading/release, biomineralization, cell immobilization/protection, enzyme immobilization/protection, and antibacterial/antiviral are exemplified. Finally, the challenges and the future research directions on biopolymer coating for particles surface engineering are prospected. This review highlights the importance of particle surface engineering in the materials field. . This review summarizes biopolymer coating for particle surface engineering and their biomedical applications. . This review discusses the key challenges and directions for future research and development of particle surface engineering .

Abstract
The polymerization of biomolecules is a central operation in biology that connects molecular signals with proliferative and information-rich events in cells. As molecules arrange precisely across 3-D space, they create new functional capabilities such as catalysis and transport highways and exhibit new phase separation phenomena that fuel nonequilibrium dynamics in cells. Hence, the observed polymer chemistry manifests itself as a molecular basis leading to cellular phenotypes, expressed as a multitude of hierarchical structures found in cell biology. Although many milestone discoveries had accompanied the rise of the synthetic polymer era, fundamental studies were realized within a closed, pristine environment and that their behavior in a complex multicomponent system remains challenging and thus unexplored. From this perspective, there is a rich trove of undiscovered knowledge that awaits the polymer science community that can revolutionize understanding in the interactive nanoscale world of the living cell.In this Account, we discuss the strategies that have enabled synthetic polymer chemistry to be conducted within the cells (membrane inclusive) and to establish monomer design principles that offer spatiotemporal control of the polymerization. As reaction considerations such as monomer concentration, polymer growth dynamics, and reactivities are intertwined with the subcellular environment and transport processes, we first provide a chemical narrative of each major cellular compartment. The conditions within each compartment will therefore set the boundaries on the type of polymer chemistry that can be conducted. Both covalent and supramolecular polymerization concepts are explored separately in the context of scaffold design, polymerization mechanism, and activation. To facilitate transport into a localized subcellular space, we show that monomers can be reversibly modified by targeting groups or stimulus-responsive motifs that react within the specific compartment. Upon polymerization, we discuss the characterization of the resultant polymeric structures and how these phase-separated structures would impact biological processes such as cell cycle, metabolism, and apoptosis. As we begin to integrate cellular biochemistry with in situ polymer science, we identify landmark challenges and technological hurdles that, when overcome, would lead to invaluable discoveries in macromolecular therapeutics and biology.

Abstract
Bacterial conjugation is one of the most prominent ways for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) transmission in the environment. Interfacial interactions between natural colloidal minerals and bacteria can alter the effective contact of bacteria, thereby affecting ARGs conjugation. Understanding the impact of iron minerals, a core component of colloidal minerals, on ARGs conjugation can help assess and intervene in the risk of ARGs transmission. With three selected iron minerals perturbation experiments, it was found that the conjugative transfer of plasmid that carried kanamycin resistance gene was 1.35 - 3.91-fold promoted by low concentrations of iron minerals (i.e., 5 - 100 mg L-1), but inhibited at high concentrations (i.e., 1000 - 2000 mg L-1) as 0.10 - 0.22-fold. Conjugation occurrence was highly relevant to the number of bacteria adhering per unit mass of mineral, thus switch in the adhesion modes of mineral-bacterial determined whether the conjugate transfer of ARGs was facilitated or inhibited. In addition, a unified model was formularized upon the physicochemical and physiological effects of adhesion on conjugation, and it can be used in estimating the critical inhibitory concentration of different iron minerals on conjugation. Our findings indicate natural colloidal minerals have great potential for applications in preventing the environmental propagation of ARGs through interfacial interactions.

Abstract
Gut microbes are closely associated with most human health. When ingested orally, probiotics can effectively regulate the composition and quantity of human intestinal microorganisms, which is beneficial to human health. However, probiotics will be affected by the harsh environment of the digestive tract during the in vivo transportation process, and ensuring the viability of probiotics is a great challenge. Probiotic encapsulating technology provides an effective solution to this problem. The introduction of extreme temperatures, large probiotic microcapsule sizes and the difficulty in controlling probiotic microcapsule particle sizes mean that traditional microcapsule encapsulation methods have some limitations. From traditional microcapsule technology to the bulk encapsulation of probiotics with nanofibers and nanoparticles to the recent ability to wear nano "armor" for a single probiotic through biofilm, biological membrane and nanocoating. Emerging probiotic nanoagents provides a new conceptual and development direction for the field of probiotic encapsulation. In this review, we presented the characteristics of encapsulated probiotic carrier materials and digestive tract transport systems, we focused on the encapsulation systems of probiotic nanoagents, we analyzed the shortcomings and advantages of the current agent encapsulation systems, and we stated the developmental direction and challenges for these agents for the future.

Abstract
In the last years coating of surfaces in the presence of dopamine or other catecholamines in oxidative conditions to yield "polydopamine" films has become a popular, easy and versatile coating methodology. Polydopamine(s) offer(s) also a rich chemistry allowing to post-functionalize the obtained coatings with metal nanoparticles with polymers and proteins. However, the interactions either of covalent or non-covalent nature between polydopamine and biomolecules has only been explored more recently. They allow polydopamine to become a material, in the form of nanoparticles, membranes and other assemblies, in its own right not just as a coating. It is the aim of this review to describe the most recent advances in the design of composites between polydopamine and related eumelanin like materials with biomolecules like proteins, nucleotides, oligosaccharides and lipid assemblies. Furthermore, the interactions between polydopamine and living cells will be also reported.

Abstract
Currently, the industrial application of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) that are incubated with natural electrochemically active microbes (EABs) is limited due to inefficient extracellular electron transfer (EET) by natural EABs. Notably, recent studies have identified several novel living biomaterials comprising highly efficient electron transfer systems allowing unparalleled proficiency of energy conversion. Introduction of these biomaterials into BESs could fundamentally increase their utilization for a wide range of applications. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of recent advancements in the design of living biomaterials that can be exploited to enhance bioelectrocatalytic performance. Further, modular configurations of abiotic and biotic components promise a powerful enhancement through integration of nano-based artificial mediators and synthetic biology. Herein, recent advancements in BESs are synthesized and assessed, including heterojunctions between conductive nanomaterials and EABs, in-situ hybrid self-assembly of EABs and nano-sized semiconductors, cytoprotection in biohybrids, synthetic biological modifications of EABs and electroactive biofilms. Since living biomaterials comprise a broad range of disciplines, such as molecular biology, electrochemistry and material sciences, full integration of technological advances applied in an interdisciplinary framework will greatly enhance/advance the utility and novelty of BESs. Overall, emerging fundamental knowledge concerning living biomaterials provides a powerful opportunity to markedly boost EET efficiency and facilitate the industrial application of BESs to meet global sustainability challenges/goals.

Abstract
Encapsulation of cells/microorganisms attracts great attention in many applications, but current studies mainly focus on hydrophilic encapsulation materials. Herein, we develop a new class of hydrophobic and lipophilic organogels for highly efficient encapsulation of Yarrowia lipolytica, an oleaginous yeast, by a mild and nonsolvent photopolymerization method. The organogels allow free diffusion of hydrophobic molecules that oleaginous yeasts require to survive and function. Moreover, they are mechanically robust and possess favorable biocompatibility, thus providing a free-standing platform and an ideal survival environment for oleaginous Y. lipolytica encapsulation. By tuning monomer structures and cross-linking densities, the optimized organogel, Gel12-1.5%, achieves the highest viability of ∼96%. Furthermore, organogels can inhibit the cryoinjuries to oleaginous yeasts in cryopreservation, exhibiting the potential for long-term storage. It is also found that with varying alkyl lengths, the organogels show different temperature-dependent phase transition properties, which enable the rapid selection of targeted yeasts for steganography. Findings in this work provide guidance for designing biocompatible, hydrophobic, and lipophilic encapsulation materials.

Abstract
The natural bacterial spores have inspired the development of artificial spores, through coating cells with protective materials, for durable whole-cell catalysis. Despite attractiveness, artificial spores developed to date are generally limited to a few microorganisms with their natural endogenous enzymes, and they have never been explored as a generic platform for widespread synthesis. Here, we report a general approach to designing artificial spores based on Escherichia coli cells with recombinant enzymes. The artificial spores are simply prepared by coating cells with polydopamine, which can withstand UV radiation, heating and organic solvents. Additionally, the protective coating enables living cells to stabilize aqueous-organic emulsions for efficient interfacial biocatalysis ranging from single reactions to multienzyme cascades. Furthermore, the interfacial system can be easily expanded to chemoenzymatic synthesis by combining artificial spores with metal catalysts. Therefore, this artificial-spore-based platform technology is envisioned to lay the foundation for next-generation cell factory engineering.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality, triggered by the adhesion of microbes and to some extent the formation of biofilms. This condition has been quite challenging in the health and industrial sector. Conditions and processes required to foil these infectious and resistance are of much concern. The synthesis of PDA material, inspired by the Mytilus edulis foot protein (MEFP)5 possesses unique characteristics that allow for, adhesion, photothermal therapy, synergistic effects with other materials, biocompatibility process, etc. Therefore, their usage holds great potential for dealing with both the infectious nature and the antibiotic resistance processes. Hence, this review provides an overview of the mechanism involved in accomplishing and eradicating bacteria, the recently harnessed antibacterial effect of the PDA through other properties they possess, a way forward in tapping the benefit embedded in the PDA, and the future perspective.

Abstract
Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal-phenolic materials are assembled from phenolic components in the presence of metal ions through the formation of metal-organic complexes. Alkali, alkali-earth, transition, and noble metal ions as well as metalloids interacting with phenolic building blocks have been widely exploited to generate diverse hybrid materials. Despite extensive studies on the synthesis of metal-phenolic materials, a comprehensive summary of how metal ions guide the assembly of phenolic compounds is lacking. A fundamental understanding of the roles of metal ions in metal-phenolic materials engineering will facilitate the assembly of materials with specific and functional properties. In this review, we focus on the diversity and function of metal ions in metal-phenolic material engineering and emerging applications. Specifically, we discuss the range of underlying interactions, including (i) cation-π, (ii) coordination, (iii) redox, and (iv) dynamic covalent interactions, and highlight the wide range of material properties resulting from these interactions. Applications (e.g., biological, catalytic, and environmental) and perspectives of metal-phenolic materials are also highlighted.

Abstract
Advanced treatments based on immune system manipulation, gene transcription and regulation, specific organ and cell targeting, and/or photon energy conversion have emerged as promising therapeutic strategies against a range of challenging diseases. Naturally derived macromolecules (e.g., proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and polyphenols) have increasingly found use as fundamental building blocks for nanostructured particles as their advantageous properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, inherent bioactivity, and diverse chemical properties make them suitable for advanced therapeutic applications. This review provides a timely and comprehensive summary of the use of a broad range of natural building blocks in the rapidly developing field of advanced therapeutics with insights specific to nanostructured particles. We focus on an up-to-date overview of the assembly of nanostructured particles using natural building blocks and summarize their key scientific and preclinical milestones for advanced therapies, including adoptive cell therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, active targeted drug delivery, photoacoustic therapy and imaging, photothermal therapy, and combinational therapy. A cross-comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different natural building blocks are highlighted to elucidate the key design principles for such bio-derived nanoparticles toward improving their performance and adoption. Current challenges and future research directions are also discussed, which will accelerate our understanding of designing, engineering, and applying nanostructured particles for advanced therapies.

Abstract
Biological cells such as bacterial, fungal, and mammalian cells always exploit sophisticated chemistries and exquisite micro- and nano-structures to execute life activities, providing numerous templates for engineering bioactive and biomorphic materials, devices, and systems. To transform biological cells into functional biocomposites, polymer-directed cell surface engineering and intracellular functionalization have been developed over the past two decades. Polymeric materials can be easily adopted by various cells through polymer grafting or in situ hydrogelation and can successfully bridge cells with other functional materials as interfacial layers, thus achieving the manufacture of advanced biocomposites through bioaugmentation of living cells and transformation of cells into templated materials. This review article summarizes the recent progress in the design and construction of cell-based biocomposites by polymer-directed strategies. Furthermore, the applications of cell-based biocomposites in broad fields such as cell research, biomedicine, and bioenergy are discussed. Last, we provide personal perspectives on challenges and future trends in this interdisciplinary area.

Abstract
AbstractMany microorganisms produce specific structures, known as spores or cysts, to increase their resistance to adverse environmental conditions. Scientists have started to produce biomimetic materials inspired by these natural membranes, especially for industrial and biomedical applications. Here, we present biological data on the biocompatibility of a polydopamine-based artificial coating for diatom cells. In this work, living Thalassiosira weissflogii diatom cells are coated on their surface with a polydopamine layer mimicking mussel adhesive protein. Polydopamine does not affect diatoms growth kinetics, it enhances their resistance to degradation by treatment with detergents and acids, and it decreases the uptake of model staining emitters. These outcomes pave the way for the use of living diatom cells bearing polymer coatings for sensors based on living cells, resistant to artificial microenvironments, or acting as living devices for cells interface study.

Abstract
Surface charge effects in nanoconfines is one of the fundamentals in the ion current rectification (ICR) of nanofluidics, which provides entropic driving force by asymmetric surface charges and causes ion enrichment/depletion by the electrostatic interaction of fixed surface charges. However, the surface charge effect causes a significant electrostatic repulsion in nanoconfines, restricting additional like charge or elaborate chemistry on the highly charged confined surface, which limits ICR manipulation. Here, we use polydopamine (PDA), a nearly universal adhesive, that adheres to the highly positive-charged poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) gel network in a nanochannel array. PDA enhances the ICR effect from a low rectification ratio of 9.5 to 92.6 by increasing the surface charge and hydrophobicity of the PEI gel network and, meanwhile, shrinking its gap spacing. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate the determinants of the fixed surface charge in the enrichment/depletion region on ICR properties, which is adjustable by PDA-induced change in a nanoconfined environment. Chemically active PDA brings Au nanoparticles by chloroauric reduction for further hydrophobization and the modification of negative-charged DNA complexes in nanochannels, whereby ICR effects can be manipulated in versatile means. The results describe an adjustable and versatile strategy for adjusting the ICR behaviors of nanofluidics by manipulating local surface charge effects using PDA.

Abstract
The encapsulation of cells with various polyelectrolytes through layer-by-layer (LbL) has become a popular strategy in cellular function engineering. The technique sprang up in 1990s and obtained tremendous advances in multi-functionalized encapsulation of cells in recent years. This review comprehensively summarized the basis and applications in drug delivery by means of LbL cell encapsulation. To begin with, the concept and brief history of LbL and LbL cell encapsulation were introduced. Next, diverse types of materials, including naturally extracted and chemically synthesized, were exhibited, followed by a complicated basis of LbL assembly, such as interactions within multilayers, charge distribution, and films morphology. Furthermore, the review focused on the protective effects against adverse factors, and bioactive payloads incorporation could be realized via LbL cell encapsulation. Additionally, the payload delivery from cell encapsulation system could be adjusted by environment, redox, biological processes, and functional linkers to release payloads in controlled manners. In short, drug delivery via LbL cell encapsulation, which takes advantage of both cell grafts and drug activities, will be of great importance in basic research of cell science and biotherapy for various diseases.

Abstract
Fungal-mediated extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and contaminants in terrestrial environments. These ROS levels may be modulated by iron nanoparticles that possess intrinsic peroxidase (POD)-like activity (nanozymes). However, it remains largely undescribed how fungi modulate the POD-like activity of the iron nanoparticles with various crystallinities and crystal facets. Using well-controlled fungal-mineral cultivation experiments, here, we showed that fungi possessed a robust defect engineering strategy to modulate the POD-like activity of the attached iron minerals by decreasing the catalytic activity of poorly ordered ferrihydrite but enhancing that of well-crystallized hematite. The dynamics of POD-like activity were found to reside in molecular trade-offs between lattice oxygen and oxygen vacancies in the iron nanoparticles, which may be located in a cytoprotective fungal exoskeleton. Together, our findings unveil coupled POD-like activity and oxygen redox dynamics during fungal-mineral interactions, which increase the understanding of the catalytic mechanisms of POD-like nanozymes and microbial-mediated biogeochemical cycles of nutrient elements as well as the attenuation of contaminants in terrestrial environments.

Abstract
Background Diabetic wound healing remains a challenge because of its susceptibility to drug-resistant bacterial infection and its persistent proinflammatory state. Switching from proinflammatory M1 macrophages (Mφs) to proregenerative M2 dominant Mφs in a timely manner accelerates wound healing by coordinating inflammatory, proliferative, and angiogenic processes. Methods We propose a sequential photothermal antibacterial and subsequent M2 Mφ polarization strategy based on nanofibers (NFs) consisting of polydopamine (PDA) coating on curcumin (Cur) nanocrystals to treat Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected diabetic wounds. Results The PDA/Cur NFs showed excellent photothermal conversion and antibacterial effects due to the PDA shell under laser irradiation, consequently resulting in the release of the inner Cur with the ability to promote cell proliferation and reinforce the M2 Mφ phenotype in vitro. In vivo studies on MRSA-infected diabetic wounds showed that PDA/Cur NFs not only inhibited MRSA infection but also accelerated the wound regeneration process. Furthermore, the NFs displayed the ability to promote the M2 Mφ phenotype with enhanced collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and cell proliferation. Conclusion Overall, the NFs displayed great potential as promising therapeutics for healing infected diabetic wounds through a sequential photothermal antibacterial and M2 Mφ polarization strategy.

Abstract
Microorganisms have been extensively applied as active biotherapeutic agents or drug delivery vehicles for antitumor treatment because of their unparalleled bio-functionalities. Taking advantage of the living attributes of microorganisms, a new avenue has been opened in anticancer research. The integration of customized functional materials with living microorganisms has demonstrated unprecedented potential in solving existing questions and even conferring microorganisms with updated antitumor abilities and has also provided an innovative train of thought for enhancing the efficacy of microorganism-based tumor therapy. In this review, we have summarized the emerging development of customized materials-assisted microorganisms (MAMO) (including bacteria, viruses, fungi, microalgae, as well as their components) in tumor therapeutics with an emphasis on the rational utilization of chosen microorganisms and tailored materials, the ingenious design of biohybrid systems, and the efficacious antitumor mechanisms. The future perspectives and challenges in this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Professor Chia-Kuang (Frank) Tsung made his scientific impact primarily through the atomic-level design of nanoscale materials for application in heterogeneous catalysis. He approached this challenge from two directions: above and below the material surface. Below the surface, Prof. Tsung synthesized finely controlled nanoparticles, primarily of noble metals and metal oxides, tailoring their composition and surface structure for efficient catalysis. Above the surface, he was among the first to leverage the tunability and stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve heterogeneous, molecular, and biocatalysts. This article, written by his former students, seeks first to commemorate Prof. Tsung's scientific accomplishments in three parts: (1) rationally designing nanocrystal surfaces to promote catalytic activity; (2) encapsulating nanocrystals in MOFs to improve catalyst selectivity; and (3) tuning the host-guest interaction between MOFs and guest molecules to inhibit catalyst degradation. The subsequent discussion focuses on building on the foundation laid by Prof. Tsung and on his considerable influence on his former group members and collaborators, both inside and outside of the lab.

Abstract
Coating living cells with a functional shell has been regarded as an effective way to protect them against environmental stress, regulate their biological behaviors, or extend their functionalities. Here, we reported a facile method to prepare fully or partially coated shells on an individual yeast cell surface by visible light-induced graft polymerization. In this strategy, yeast cells that were surface-absorbed with polyethylenimine (PEI) were deposited on the negatively charged glass slide to form a single layer by electrostatic interaction. Then, surface-initiated graft polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) on yeast cells under visible light irradiation was carried out to generate cross-linked shells on the cells. The process of surface modification had negligible influence on the viability of yeast cells due to the mild reaction condition. Additionally, compared to the native yeast cells, a 17.5 h of delay in division was observed when the graft polymerization was performed under 15 mW/cm2 irradiation for 30 min. Introducing artificial shell endowed yeast cells with significant resistance against lyticase, and the protection can be enhanced by increasing the thickness of shell. Moreover, the partially coated yeast cells would be prepared by simply adjusting the reaction condition such as irradiation density and time. By immobilizing urease on the functional patch, the asymmetrically modified yeast cells exhibited self-propelling capability, and the speed of directional movement reached 4 μm/s in the presence of 200 mM urea. This tunable coating individual cell strategy with varying functionality has great potential applications in fields of cell-based drug delivery, cell therapy, biocatalysis, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Formation of protein-polymer conjugates (PPCs) is critical for many studies in chemical biology, biomedicine, and enzymatic catalysis. Polymers with coordinated physicochemical properties confer synergistic functions to PPCs that overcome the inherent limitation of proteins. However, application of PPCs has been synthetically restricted by the limited modification sites and polymer grafting method. Here, we present a versatile strategy for site-selective PPC synthesis. The initiator was specifically tethered to the preoxidized glycan moieties through oxime chemistry. Polymer brushes were grown in situ from the glycan by atom-transfer radical polymerization to generate well-controlled PPCs. Notably, the modification is site-specific, multivalent, and alterable depending on protein glycosylation. Additionally, we demonstrated that the cytocompatible method enabled the growth of polymer chains from the surface of living yeast cells. These results verified a facile technology for surface modification of biomacromolecules by desired polymers for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Hypoxia is one of the most important factors that limit the effect of radiotherapy, and the abundant H2O2 in tumor tissues will also aggravate hypoxia-induced radiotherapy resistance. Delivering catalase to decompose H2O2 into oxygen is an effective strategy to relieve tumor hypoxia and radiotherapy resistance. However, low stability limits catalase's in vivo application, which is one of the most common limitations for almost all proteins' internal utilization. Here, we develop catalase containing E. coli membrane vesicles (EMs) with excellent protease resistance to relieve tumor hypoxia for a long time. Even treated with 100-fold of protease, EMs showed higher catalase activity than free catalase. After being injected into tumors post 12 h, EMs maintained their hypoxia relief ability while free catalase lost its activity. Our results indicate that EMs might be an excellent catalase delivery for tumor hypoxia relief. Combined with their immune stimulation features, EMs could enhance radiotherapy and induce antitumor immune memory effectively.

Abstract
Microbial inoculants can enhance soil quality, promote plant nutrient acquisition, and alleviate problems caused by the excessive use of chemical fertilizers. However, susceptibility to harsh conditions during transport and storage, as well as the short shelf-life of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), limit industrial application. Herein, a novel strategy to form nanocoating on bacterial surfaces to enhance viability was proposed. The nanocoating was composed of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-modified poly (γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) and calcium ions, which could adhere to the surface of bacteria by forming covalent bonds and ionic bonds with the bacteria. The bacteria encapsulated in the coating had better resistance against harsh conditions than bare bacteria. The viability of coated bacteria was also increased by 2.38 times compared with bare bacteria after 4 weeks of storage. The pot experiment showed that coated Pseudomonas stutzeri NRCB010 had better growth-promoting properties compared with free P. stutzeri NRCB010. These results indicate that cell surface engineering is an effective method to enhance the resistance of bacteria against harsh conditions and is expected to promote the widespread use of PGPR.

Abstract
Traditional cell biology researches on cell populations by their origin, tissue, morphology, and secretions. Because of the heterogeneity of cells, research at the single-cell level can obtain more accurate and comprehensive information that reflects the physiological state and process of the cell, increasing the significance of single-cell analysis. The application of single-cell analysis is faced with the problem of contaminated or damaged cells caused by cell sample transportation. Reversible encapsulation of a single cell can protect cells from the external environment and open the encapsulation shell to release cells, thus preserving cell integrity and improving extraction efficiency of analytes. Meanwhile, microfluidic single cell analysis (MSCA) exhibits integration, miniaturization, and high throughput, which can considerably improve the efficiency of single-cell analysis. The researches on single-cell reversible encapsulation materials, single-cell analysis methods, and the MSCA integration platform are analyzed and summarized in this review. The problems of single-cell viability, network of single-cell signal, and simultaneous detection of multiple biotoxins in food based on single-cell are proposed for future research.
