Understanding selective growth of electroactive bacteria on surface of constituent phases (ferrite/ austenite) of 2205 DSS is required for mitigating microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). In this study, the preferential attachment of bacteria and its impact on corrosion of single phase were investigated under anaerobic condition using Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Single-ferrite phase was more susceptible to biofilm formation compared with single-austenite phase. Atomic force microscope (AFM) revealed that the surface of ferrite phase coupon was fully covered with S. oneidensis MR-1 biofilm whereas few S. oneidensis MR-1 cells were observed on the surface of austenite phase. After 14 d of incubation, the maximum biofilm thicknesses on 2205 DSS, ferrite and austenite phase were 15.5 ± 1.0 µm, 13.8 ± 3.2 µm, and 10.2 ± 0.8 µm, respectively. S. oneidensis MR-1 accelerated the pitting corrosion of materials. The maximum pits depth on single ferrite and austenite phase in sterile medium (3.2 µm vs 2.2 µm with mean values 2.5 µm vs 1.7 µm) were relatively small than those in biotic medium (6.0 µm vs 4.5 µm with mean values 4.5 µm vs 3.8 µm). Synergistic effects of Cr and Ni enhanced the stability of passive film on austenite phase.
了解2205 DSS组成相(铁素体/奥氏体)表面电活性细菌的选择性生长是减轻微生物影响腐蚀(MIC)的必要条件。在厌氧条件下,利用希瓦氏菌MR-1研究了细菌的优先附着及其对单相腐蚀的影响。单铁素体相比单奥氏体相更容易形成生物膜。原子力显微镜(AFM)观察发现,铁素体相表面覆盖了一层完整的奥氏体链球菌MR-1生物膜,而奥氏体相表面仅观察到少量的奥氏体链球菌MR-1细胞。培养14 d后,2205 DSS、铁素体和奥氏体相的最大生物膜厚度分别为15.5±1.0µm、13.8±3.2µm和10.2±0.8µm。S. oneidensis MR-1加速了材料的点蚀。无菌培养基中单个铁素体和奥氏体相的最大凹坑深度(3.2µm vs 2.2µm,平均值为2.5µm vs 1.7µm)相对小于生物培养基(6.0µm vs 4.5µm,平均值为4.5µm vs 3.8µm)。Cr和Ni的协同作用增强了钝化膜在奥氏体相上的稳定性。

Early cancer diagnosis is paramount for enhancing treatment efficacy, extending patient survival, and improving the quality of life. We developed a highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor for the detection of target DNA (tDNA) associated with gastric cancer. This advancement integrates dual signal amplification strategies: bio-barcode amplification (BCA) and surface-initiated enzyme polymerization (SIEP), with copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) serving as signal labels. Silica nanoparticles (SiO2) were covalently linked with polythymine (poly T) and complementary DNA to create bio-barcode probes. These probes, through hybridization, were immobilized on the reduced graphene oxide and Au nanoparticle (rGO-AuNPs) modified interface and marking the first amplification of the electrical signal. Subsequently, the extended poly T prompted by SIEP bound additional CuNCs through the combination of T-Cu2+, leading to a second round of signal amplification. The biosensor demonstrated a minimum detection limit of 0.13 fmol/L over a linear response range from 1 fmol/L to 1 nmol/L. It also showcased excellent specificity, repeatability, and stability, making it a promising tool for the sensitive detection of gastric cancer biomarkers.

Recently, it was described that neutral glycans can be distinguished from those containing sialic acid at the mercury electrode after modification with osmium(VI) N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (Os(VI)tem). Our work shows the possibility of studying glycans and glycoproteins at pyrolytic graphite electrodes depending on the presence of sialic acid.
Short glycans, glycans released from glycoproteins, and glycoproteins themselves yielded similar voltammetric responses after their modification by Os(VI)tem. Os(VI)tem modified glycans and glycoproteins produced a couple of cathodic and anodic peaks. Changing peak heights and potentials of glycans and glycoproteins pointed out the presence of sialic acid. These findings could be utilized to improve glycoprotein sensing by chemical modification.

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is exclusively overexpressed in most Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue but not in normal liver tissue, making it a promising biomarker for the precise detection of HCC. In this paper, a label-free light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) decorated by platinumpalladium-hemin-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (PtPd@H-rGO NCs) was constructed for determination of GPC3. The GPC3 aptamer (GPC3Apt) and PtPd@H-rGO NCs were modified on the surface of silicon-based LAPS chip to build sensitive unit of LAPS system. A readout photocurrent elicited from a modulated light source, registers the localized surface potential change. When a bias voltage is provided to the LAPS system, the GPC3-GPC3Apt complexes formed by the specific reaction between GPC3 and GPC3Apt at the sensing interface can cause the sensitive membrane surface potential to change, resulting in the photocurrent-voltage (I-V) curves generate a corresponding offset response. Therefore GPC3 concentration can be determined by monitoring the potential shifts (△V). Under optimal conditions, the potential shift is linearly related to the concentration of GPC3 in the range of 0.001–3.00 μg/mL with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0001 μg/mL. The LAPS has a good analytical performance with good specificity, reproducibility and stability, and can be used for the detection of GPC3 in actual serum samples, which provides a broad application prospect for the combined application of LAPS and aptamers in biooassay.

This work reported a redox cycling system for the design of electrochemical immunosensors by using pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) to promote the oxidation of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP). The consumption of TCEP was monitored with ferrocenium (Fc+) as the electroactive probe, which was based on the difference in the solubility of Fc+ with its reduced format (ferrocene, Fc). Metal–organic framework (MOF) was used as the nanocarrier to load biotinylated recognition antibody and PQQ with recombinant streptavidin as the linker. In the absence of target, TCEP could reduce Fc+ into insoluble Fc aggregates, thus leading to the decrease in the electrochemical signal. Capture of target allowed for the attachment of antibody-modified MOF-PQQ on the sensing electrode, thus promoting the oxidation of TCEP by O2 through the redox cycling. In this case, the reduction of Fc+ into insoluble Fc aggregates was limited, and Fc+ remained in the solution exhibited a high electrochemical signal. The peak current was linearly proportional to the target concentration in the range of 0.001–1 ng/mL with prostate specific antigen as an example. The work should be useful for the design of novel biosensors through the signal amplification of redox cycling.

Human parvovirus B19 is a prevalent childhood infectious virus that poses a great challenge to public health, so the detection of B19V is of great importance. In this study, a DNA sensor based on CbAgo, a Cas effector, and a dual electrochemical signal amplification strategy was developed by using a novel nanocomposite MnO2/CMK-3/g-C3N4/AgNPs for initial signal amplification, with CMK being an ordered mesoporous carbon nanomaterial. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were used as electrocatalytic probes for secondary signal amplification to detect B19 DNA. The detection process begins with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using the B19V infectious clone plasmid (pB19-M20) as a template and NS1-F/R as primers, followed by specific cleavage of B19 DNA based on the programmable cutting sites of CbAgo effector protein. This study enriches the application of Argonaute proteins in sensing and introduces a novel method to detect B19V. Under optimized conditions, the biosensor can detect B19 DNA in the range of 10−15–10−10 M, with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.2 fM. The results indicate that the developed DNA sensor holds promise for reliable and sensitive detection of B19 DNA in human serum.

Zearalenone (ZEN), a secondary metabolite mycotoxin primarily synthesized by Fusarium species and prevalent in cereal grains, exerts estrogenic effects that could induce reproductive toxicity and teratogenic outcomes. To enhance the precision of ZEN detection, we have developed an innovative photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptamer-based sensor employing in situ growth silver sulfide (Ag2S) quantum dots-sensitized graphitic carbon nitride/bismuth oxybromide (g-C3N4/BiOBr) heterojunction. The g-C3N4/BiOBr composite exhibits robust structural stability and straightforward synthesis. In situ growth Ag2S quantum dots could significantly amplify the signal, thereby elevating the sensor’s sensitivity. The sensor utilizes ZEN-specific aptamers for target-specific binding, ensuring high selectivity. Within the concentration range of 0.001 to 100 ng·mL−1, the photocurrent response demonstrated a significant linear correlation with the logarithmic scale of ZEN concentration, with a detection limit reaching 0.122 pg·mL−1. This PEC aptamer sensor exhibits excellent stability, reproducibility, and selectivity, which is expected to be used as an effective analytical tool for ZEN detection in practical applications.

Cervical cancer, closely linked to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, remains a significant health threat for women worldwide. Conventional HPV detection methods, such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), rely on nucleic acid amplification (NAA), which can be costly and time-consuming. This study introduces an NAA-free electrochemical Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-based biosensor designed to detect HPV 16 and HPV 18 L1 genes simultaneously. The system utilizes a Cas9-single guided RNA complex to initiate a selective cleavage reaction, releasing Methylene blue or Ferrocene-labeled fragments correlate to L1 gene concentrations. These fragments then interact with modified gold electrodes immobilized with a complementary probe, allowing precise electrochemical signal measurement during hybridization. The biosensor offers a wide detection range from 1 fM to 10 nM, with detection limits as low as 0.4 fM for HPV 16 L1 and 0.51 fM for HPV 18 L1, providing a sensitive and efficient solution for L1 gene detection. Additionally, its specificity and sensitivity closely match RT-PCR results in clinical testing, highlighting its potential for molecular diagnostics and point-of-care applications.

Carbon steel, an important infrastructure material in the petroleum industry, experiences serious damage due to Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC) with untold economic impact. Pseudomonas stutzeri CQ-Z5 with solid biofilm formation and organic acid-producing ability was isolated from Changqing oilfield produced water. The corrosion behavior and mechanism of 20# carbon steel by P. stutzeri CQ-Z5 were explored in a simulated oilfield product water circulating device. Bacteria inoculation can hasten steel corrosion, the maximum corrosion rate reached 1.84 mm y−1. Pitting corrosion on rust layer was observed using SEM, and CLSM monitored the change in biofilm thickness. XRD displayed that oxides were the primary corrosion products, including Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and FeOOH. Analysis of contributions of corrosion types indicated that biofilm corrosion contributes 72 % to total corrosion, far higher than those of ion erosion and organic acid decay. Many genes involved in iron metabolism, biofilm synthesis, and organic acid production were annotated in the genome of P. stutzeri CQ-Z5. Accordingly, a hypothetical corrosion mechanism model of P. stutzeri CQ-Z5 for carbon steel involvement of initial ion erosion, then biofilm corrosion and organic acid decay was proposed. The work helped prevent carbon steel corrosion and improve corrosion mitigation strategies.
碳钢是石油工业中重要的基础材料,由于微生物影响腐蚀(MIC)而遭受严重破坏,造成难以估量的经济损失。研究人员从长庆油田采出水中分离出了具有固体生物膜形成和有机酸产生能力的石炭酸假单胞菌 CQ-Z5。在模拟油田采出水循环装置中,探讨了 P. stutzeri CQ-Z5 对 20# 碳钢的腐蚀行为和机理。细菌接种可加速钢的腐蚀,最大腐蚀速率达到 1.84 mm y-1。使用扫描电镜观察了锈层上的点腐蚀,CLSM 监测了生物膜厚度的变化。XRD 显示,氧化物是主要的腐蚀产物,包括 Fe2O3、Fe3O4 和 FeOOH。对腐蚀类型的贡献分析表明,生物膜腐蚀占总腐蚀的 72%,远远高于离子侵蚀和有机酸腐蚀。在 P. stutzeri CQ-Z5 的基因组中注释了许多参与铁代谢、生物膜合成和有机酸产生的基因。据此,提出了一种假设的 P. stutzeri CQ-Z5 对碳钢的腐蚀机制模型,即最初的离子侵蚀,然后是生物膜腐蚀和有机酸衰变。这项工作有助于防止碳钢腐蚀和改进腐蚀缓解策略。

This research examined the varying susceptibility of pure copper (Cu), 90/10 copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) alloy, 70/30 Cu-Ni alloy, and pure nickel (Ni) to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) induced by Desulfovibrio vulgaris, with a focus on the elemental composition of the materials. The results revealed a progressive shift in MIC behavior across these metals and alloys, with increased corrosion severity observed as Ni content decreased. Element Ni improved the corrosion resistance of the alloy while also preventing the growth of microorganisms. Both planktonic and sessile cell counts decreased as the Ni content increased. The corrosion rate, determined by weight loss, followed this order: pure Cu (25.7 ± 3.8 mg·cm−2, 0.75 mm·y−1) > 90/10 Cu-Ni alloy (9.1 ± 1.4 mg·cm−2, 0.27 mm·y−1) > 70/30 Cu-Ni alloy (4.3 ± 0.8 mg·cm−2, 0.16 mm·y−1) > pure Ni (2.1 ± 0.7 mg·cm−2, 0.06 mm·y−1). The corrosion current density (icorr) of pure Cu (3.03 × 10−5 A·cm−2) was approximately 20-fold that of pure Ni (1.54 × 10−6 A·cm−2). There was a correlation between the electrochemical and weight loss results. Thermodynamic analysis and experimental results indicated that M-MIC was the primary MIC mechanism for pure Cu. While both M-MIC and EET-MIC were engaged in the MIC mechanisms of 90/10 Cu-Ni and 70/30 Cu-Ni alloys, the predominant mechanism was EET-MIC for pure Ni.
