Homogeneous and stable dispersions of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous solutions are imperative for a wide range of applications, especially in life and medical sciences. Various covalent and non-covalent approaches were published to separate the bundles into individual tubes. In this context, this work demonstrates the non-covalent modification and dispersion of pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using two S-layer proteins, namely, SbpA from Lysinibacillus sphaericus CCM2177 and SbsB from Geobacillus stearothermophilus PV72/p2. Both the S-layer proteins coated the MWNTs completely. Furthermore, it was shown that SbpA can form caps at the ends of MWNTs. Reassembly experiments involving a mixture of both S-layer proteins in the same solution showed that the MWNTs were primarily coated with SbsB, whereas SbpA formed self-assembled layers. The dispersibility of the pristine nanotubes coated with SbpA was determined by zeta potential measurements (−24.4 +/− 0.6 mV, pH = 7). Finally, the SbpA-coated MWNTs were silicified with tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) using a mild biogenic approach. As expected, the thickness of the silica layer could be controlled by the reaction time and was 6.3 +/− 1.25 nm after 5 min and 25.0 +/− 5.9 nm after 15 min. Since S-layer proteins have already demonstrated their capability to bind (bio)molecules in dense packing or to act as catalytic sites in biomineralization processes, the successful coating of pristine MWNTs has great potential in the development of new materials, such as biosensor architectures.

Medical Importance

Larvicides based on the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis svar. israelensis (Bti) and Lysinibacillus sphaericus are effective and environmentally safe compounds for the control of dipteran insects of medical importance. They produce crystals that display specific and potent insecticidal activity against larvae. Bti crystals are composed of multiple protoxins: three from the three-domain Cry type family, which bind to different cell receptors in the midgut, and one cytolytic (Cyt1Aa) protoxin that can insert itself into the cell membrane and act as surrogate receptor of the Cry toxins. Together, those toxins display a complex mode of action that shows a low risk of resistance selection. L. sphaericus crystals contain one major binary toxin that display an outstanding persistence in field conditions, which is superior to Bti. However, the action of the Bin toxin based on its interaction with a single receptor is vulnerable for resistance selection in insects. In this review we present the most recent data on the mode of action and synergism of these toxins, resistance issues, and examples of their use worldwide. Data reported in recent years improved our understanding of the mechanism of action of these toxins, showed that their combined use can enhance their activity and counteract resistance, and reinforced their relevance for mosquito control programs in the future years.

The Relationship

The effect of microbial carbonate mineralization on increasing the hydrophobicity of the cement stone surface is theoretically justified and experimentally confirmed. Based on experimental studies and analysis of literature data, the main stages of microbial-induced sedimentation of calcium carbonate on the surface of a cement stone are formulated. Changes in the morphology of the cement stone surface due to crystalline new formations formed during biomineralization in the postgenetic period are described. It is shown that biocolmatation of the interstitial space of a cement stone by crystalline new formations leads to an increase in hydrophobicity, as evidenced by an increase in the contact wetting angle. The relationship between the change in the concentration of calcium in neoplasms and the average value of the contact wetting angle on the surface of the cement stone from the type of bacterial culture is established. According to chemical and morphological analysis of bioinduction tumors on the surface of samples and also evaluation of changes of the contact angle compared to the original index for cement, bacterial cultures are ranked in order to increase the efficiency of use for sedimentation of calcium carbonate with their participation, as well as increase of cement materials hydrophobicity in the following sequence: Sporosarcina pasteurii  Bacillus megaterium  Lysinibacillus sphaericus  Bacillus pumilus.
