Chemical and electrochemical interaction mechanisms of metal-reducing bacteria with gold surfaces

  • The ubiquity of biofilms is accompanied by significant health and safety risks. Clarifying the interaction mechanisms of sessile bacteria with metal and metal oxide surfaces is of great interest to advance the development of new control strategies and novel anti-fouling surfaces which mitigate the detrimental effects of bio-fouling. The Shewanella genus is a faculatively aerobic, Gram-negative, exoelectrogenic bacterium known to demonstrate exceptional adaptability in respiratory capacities. Shewanella is often found in microbial communities within aquatic and sedimentary settings. During aerobic conditions, Shewanella utilizes oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor. During anaerobic conditions, respiration occurs via reduction of alternative terminal electron acceptors such as oxidized metals via extracellular electron transfer mechanisms involving electron shuttle molecules released by the bacteria.

During anaerobic conditions, respiration occurs via reduction of alternative terminal electron acceptors such as oxidized metals via extracellular electron transfer mechanisms involving electron shuttle molecules released by the bacteria. The purpose of this work is to investigate the mechanisms of bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation on metallic surfaces. Using Shewanella sp. model biofilms, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) complemented with electrochemical techniques have been utilized to study this dynamic interaction. Additionally, to study the process of diffusion of extracellular electron shuttles, a model system comprised of calcium cross-linked alginate to mimic the architecture of bacterial extracellular polymeric substances has been used. Inert model substrates with consistent uniformity and high surface enhancement factor have been fabricated via the deposition of gold nano-islands on thin glass slides. Moreover, it has permitted modification of the surface chemistry and surface energy via surface functionalization using organothiol self-assembled monolayers. The presentation will summarize our results on the interplay between the initial settlement rate and biofilm formation kinetics of bacteria on metallic substrates with variable environmental conditions such as electrolyte composition, pH, in addition to surface characteristics such as hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and external polarization.zeige mehrzeige weniger
