研究目的
To develop environment-friendly fluorescent nanoprobes that can discriminate all types of surfactants and identify different bacterial species.
研究成果
The self-assembling nanoprobe PI-1 effectively discriminates all four types of surfactants and identifies different bacterial species through fluorescence turn-on and ratiometric changes. The method is rapid, sensitive, and has potential for clinical diagnostics in bacterial infection identification.
研究不足
The probe may have limited specificity in complex environments with high ion concentrations, and the discrimination of some bacterial species showed overlap (e.g., E. coli and C. freundii). The use of organic solvents like DMSO in initial steps could be optimized for broader applicability.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study designed self-assembling nanoprobes based on an imidazolium-derived pyrene compound (PI-1) that aggregates in aqueous solution, with fluorescence quenching. Surfactants disassemble the probes, leading to fluorescence turn-on and ratiometric changes between pyrene monomer and excimer emissions. A two-dimensional analysis map was created for visual interpretation.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included four types of surfactants (anionic: SDS, SDBS; cationic: DTAB; zwitterionic: BS-12; nonionic: TX-100) and nine species of bacteria (Gram-negative and Gram-positive). Data were acquired through fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included fluorescence spectrometer, DLS analyzer, TEM. Materials included PI-1 compound, surfactants (SDS, SDBS, DTAB, BS-12, TX-100), bacterial suspensions, DMSO, H2O, HEPES buffer.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
PI-1 was dissolved in DMSO/H2O mixtures to form aggregates. Titration experiments with surfactants were performed, measuring fluorescence spectra. DLS and TEM were used to analyze particle size and morphology. Bacterial identification involved incubating probes with bacterial suspensions and measuring fluorescence changes.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Fluorescence intensity and ratiometric signals (I375/I482) were analyzed. Two-dimensional plots were generated based on fluorescence increase and emission ratios for surfactant and bacterial discrimination.
