Programmed Bacteria Death Induced by Carbon Dots with Different Surface Charge

Abstract: Based on a series of biochemical experiments for analysis and characterization, it is found that the uncharged C-dots have no effect on bacterial growth while the negatively charged and positively charged C-dots can induce bacteria apoptosis. For the positively charged C-dots, they can induce both bacteria apoptosis and bacteria death. These observations will provide new insights into bioapplications of carbon dots.

“…In the case of WT and BER bacterial strains, factors such as oxidation stress and DNA damage other than direct interaction with cell membrane may also be responsible for the bacterial cell fetal. [32] As for the role of the UV irradiation, it is generally believed that UV radiation may induce ROS with or without the aid of C-dots. The observation by our other data generally indicates that NER is most vulnerable toward UV irradiation than BER.…”

“…As shown by the infrared spectra in Figure 1f, Gly‐CDs were similar to glycyrrhizic acid in structure, with most functional groups of glycyrrhizic acid being maintained during the formation of Gly‐CDs. However, Gly‐CDs have large surface area and more contact sites as compared with glycyrrhizic acid, leading to polyvalent interactions with the virus and thus higher antiviral activity than glycyrrhizic acid, similar to the enhanced antiviral activity of gold nanoparticles capped with mercaptoethanesulfonate 79,80. The TEM images of PRRSV with and without Gly‐CDs (Figure S10, Supporting Information) also proved that Gly‐CDs could interact with PRRSV directly, which may result in inhibition of PRRSV proliferation.…”

“…Interest in carbon dots (CDs) has increased in recent years due to their simple manufacturing process and unique properties, such as high quantum yield (QY), low toxicity, excellent water solubility, small size, high photostability, and so on . Therefore, they have wide potential applications in many fields, including fluorescent ink, bioimaging, antibacterial activity, optoelectronic devices, and more . However, most of the known CDs show blue light to green light emission under the excitation of ultraviolet (UV) light or blue light, which restrict their further applications in biomedicine and in optoelectronic devices.…”
