Abstract

The encapsulation of bacteria in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is being studied for use in biomedicine and bioremediation. However, biocompatibility could be improved, as much of the research focuses on ZIF-8 and Escherichia coli. MIL-88A, composed of fumaric acid and iron, offers a safer alternative. This study investigates encapsulation of the probiotic strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v in a nanocrystalline matrix via a simple one-pot synthesis. The encapsulated bacteria show improved stability in saline, lysozyme and pepsin compared to uncoated cells. These findings highlight the potential of the iron(III) fumarate matrix for bacterial protection and controlled release for biological applications.

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
