A novel biosensing strategy on the dynamic and on-site detection of Vibrio coralliilyticus eDNA for coral health warnings
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Mar 28;158:108697. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108697. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeat stress and coral diseases are the predominant factors causing the degradation of coral reef ecosystems. Over recent years, Vibrio coralliilyticus was identified as a temperature-dependent pathogen causing tissue lysis in Pocillopora damicornis and one of the primary pathogens causing bleaching and mortality in other corals. Yet current detection techniques for V. coralliilyticus rely primarily on qPCR and ddPCR, which cannot meet the requirements for non-invasive and real-time detection. Herein, we develop...

Interferon gamma (IFN- γ)-sensitive TB aptasensor based on novel chitosan-indium nano-kesterite (χtCITS)-labeled DNA aptamer hairpin technology
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Mar 18;158:108693. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108693. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere has been increasing interest in the use of biosensors for diagnosis of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) due to their simplicity, affordability, and potential for point-of-care application. The incorporation of aptamer molecules and nanomaterials in biosensor fabrication explores the advantages of high-binding affinity and low immunogenicity of aptamers as well as the high surface-to-volume ratio of nanomaterials, for increased aptasensor performance. In this work, we employed a novel microwav...

Germination and stress tolerance of oats treated with pulsed electric field at different phases of seedling growth
This study explores the impact of pulsed electric field (PEF) application on oat seedling growth and stress tolerance. PEF treatment (99 monopolar, rectangular pulses lasting 10 µs each, with a frequency of 13 Hz and a nominal electric field strength of 2250 V/cm) was applied at two growth stages: (i) when the seedlings had 0.2 cm roots emerging from the kernel, and (ii) when they had a 0.4 cm shoot emerging from the kernel. Post-treatment, the seedlings were hydroponically grown for 8 days. To induce stress, the hydroponic medium was augmented with PEG (15 %) to induce drought stress and NaCl (150 mM) to induce salinity ...

Whole-cell biophotovoltaic systems for renewable energy generation: A systematic analysis of existing knowledge
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Mar 25;158:108695. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108695. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe development of carbon-neutral fuel sources is an essential step in addressing the global fossil energy crisis. Whole-cell biophotovoltaic systems (BPVs) are a renewable, non-polluting energy-generating device that utilizes oxygenic photosynthetic microbes (OPMs) to split water molecules and generate bioelectricity under the driving of light energy. Since 2006, BPVs have been widely studied, with the order magnitudes of power density increasing from 10-4 mW/m2 to 103 mW/m2. This review examines the extracell...

Chemoorganotrophic electrofermentation by Cupriavidus necator using redox mediators
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Mar 18;158:108694. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108694. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe non-pathogenic β-proteobacterium Cupriavidus necator has the ability to switch between chemoorganotrophic, chemolithoautotrophic and electrotrophic growth modes, making this microorganism a widely used host for cellular bioprocesses. Oxygen usually acts as the terminal electron acceptor in all growth modes. However, several challenges are associated with aeration, such as foam formation, oxygen supply costs, and the formation of an explosive gas mixture in chemolithoautotrophic cultivation with H2, CO2 and...
