Abstract
In recent years, diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinal pigment degeneration caused by excessive exposure to short-wavelength visible light have become significant concerns. With the aim of quantitatively evaluating the toxicity of short-wavelength light, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) accumulation at the irradiation site was investigated using live cell imaging techniques to irradiate individual living cells with short-wavelength laser light. By examining the dependency of PCNA accumulation on the irradiation site within the cells and their cell cycle, it was observed that PCNA accumulation occurred only when the cell nucleus of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle was irradiated. We investigated the accumulation of PCNA at the laser irradiation site using laser light at wavelengths of 405 nm and 375 nm, with intensities ranging from 0.5 μW to 9.0 μW. The results confirmed an increase in PCNA accumulation with increasing intensity, and a higher accumulation was observed with laser light irradiation at a wavelength of 375 nm compared to 405 nm. By comparing the PCNA accumulation and 24 h cell viability, we demonstrated the feasibility of quantitatively assessing laser light toxicity through the measurement of PCNA accumulation.

Optogenetic control of beta-carotene bioproduction in yeast across multiple lab-scales. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1085268.

Abstract
Optogenetics arises as a valuable tool to precisely control genetic circuits in microbial cell factories. Light control holds the promise of optimizing bioproduction methods and maximizing yields, but its implementation at different steps of the strain development process and at different culture scales remains challenging. In this study, we aim to control beta-carotene bioproduction using optogenetics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and investigate how its performance translates across culture scales. We built four lab-scale illumination devices, each handling different culture volumes, and each having specific illumination characteristics and cultivating conditions. We evaluated optogenetic activation and beta-carotene production across devices and optimized them both independently. Then, we combined optogenetic induction and beta-carotene production to make a light-inducible beta-carotene producer strain. This was achieved by placing the transcription of the bifunctional lycopene cyclase/phytoene synthase CrtYB under the control of the pC120 optogenetic promoter regulated by the EL222-VP16 light-activated transcription factor, while other carotenogenic enzymes (CrtI, CrtE, tHMG) were expressed constitutively. We show that illumination, culture volume and shaking impact differently optogenetic activation and beta-carotene production across devices. This enabled us to determine the best culture conditions to maximize light-induced beta-carotene production in each of the devices. Our study exemplifies the stakes of scaling up optogenetics in devices of different lab scales and sheds light on the interplays and potential conflicts between optogenetic control and metabolic pathway efficiency. As a general principle, we propose that it is important to first optimize both components of the system independently, before combining them into optogenetic producing strains to avoid extensive troubleshooting. We anticipate that our results can help designing both strains and devices that could eventually lead to larger scale systems in an effort to bring optogenetics to the industrial scale.

Abstract
Outer membrane vesicles are small, lipid-based vesicles shed from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. They are becoming increasingly recognised as important factors for resistance gene transfer, bacterial virulence factors and host cell modulation. The presence of pathogenic factors and antimicrobial compounds in bacterial vesicles has been proven in recent years, but it remains unclear, if and how environmental factors, such as light specifically regulate the vesicle composition. We report the first example of autofluorescent vesicles derived from non-pathogenic soil-living myxobacteria. These vesicles additionally showed inherent antibiotic activity, a property that is specifically regulated by light stimulation of the producing bacteria. Our data provide a central basis for better understanding the environmental impact on bacteria-derived vesicles, and design of future therapeutic options.

Abstract
Abstract While phototoxicity can be a useful therapeutic modality not only for eliminating malignant cells but also in treating fungal infections, mycologists aiming to observe morphological changes or molecular events in fungi, especially when long observation periods or high light fluxes are warranted, encounter problems owed to altered regulatory pathways or even cell death caused by various photosensing mechanisms. Consequently, the ever expanding repertoire of visible fluorescent protein toolboxes and high-resolution microscopy methods designed to investigate fungi in vitro and in vivo need to comply with an additional requirement: to decrease the unwanted side effects of illumination. In addition to optimizing exposure, an obvious solution is red-shifted illumination, which, however, does not come without compromises. This review summarizes the interactions of fungi with light and the various molecular biology and technology approaches developed for exploring their functions on the molecular, cellular, and in vivo microscopic levels, and outlines the progress towards reducing phototoxicity through applying far-red and near-infrared light. Key points • Fungal biological processes alter upon illumination, also under the microscope • Red shifted fluorescent protein toolboxes decrease interference by illumination • Innovations like two-photon, lightsheet, and near IR microscopy reduce phototoxicity

Ultra-high irradiance (UHI) blue light: highlighting the potential of a novel LED-based device for short antifungal treatments of food contact surfaces. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 106:415-424.

Abstract
Microbial food spoilage is an important cause of health and economic issues and can occur via resilient contamination of food surfaces. Novel technologies, such as the use of visible light, have seen the light of day to overcome the drawbacks associated with surface disinfection treatments. However, most studies report that photo-inactivation of microorganisms with visible light requires long time treatments. In the present study, a novel light electroluminescent diode (LED)-based device was designed to generate irradiation at an ultra-high power density (901.1 mW/cm2). The efficacy of this technology was investigated with the inactivation of the yeast S. cerevisiae. Short-time treatments (below 10 min) at 405 nm induced a ~4.5 log reduction rate of the cultivable yeast population. The rate of inactivation was positively correlated to the overall energy received by the sample and, at a similar energy, to the power density dispatched by the lamp. A successful disinfection of several food contact surfaces (stainless steel, glass, polypropylene, polyethylene) was achieved as S. cerevisiae was completely inactivated within 5 min of treatments. The disinfection of stainless steel was particularly effective with a complete inactivation of the yeast after 2 min of treatment. This ultra-high irradiance technology could represent a novel cost- and time-effective candidate for microbial inactivation of food surfaces. These treatments could see applications beyond the food industry, in segments such as healthcare or public transport. KEY POINTS : • A novel LED-based device was designed to emit ultra-high irradiance blue light • Short time treatments induced high rate of inhibition of S. cerevisiae • Multiple food contact surfaces were entirely disinfected with 5-min treatments.

Abstract
Interest in visible light irradiation as a microbial inactivation method has widely increased due to multiple possible applications. Resistance development is considered unlikely, because of the multi-target mechanism, based on the induction of reactive oxygen species by wavelength specific photosensitizers. However, the affected targets are still not completely identified. We investigated membrane integrity with the fluorescence staining kit LIVE/DEAD® BacLight™ on a Gram positive and a Gram negative bacterial species, irradiating Staphylococcus carnosus and Pseudomonas fluorescens with 405 nm and 450 nm. To exclude the generation of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacterial cells, we applied an ATP test, measuring the loss of vitality. Pronounced uptake of propidium iodide was only observed in Pseudomonas fluorescens at 405 nm. Transmission electron micrographs revealed no obvious differences between irradiated samples and controls, especially no indication of an increased bacterial cell lysis could be observed. Based on our results and previous literature, we suggest that visible light photoinactivation does not lead to rapid bacterial cell lysis or disruption. However, functional loss of membrane integrity due to depolarization or inactivation of membrane proteins may occur. Decomposition of the bacterial envelope following cell death might be responsible for observations of intracellular component leakage.
