Abstract
Yeast biomass, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been widely studied for removing heavy metals and organic pollutants, including pharmaceuticals. However, conventional batch methods provide limited insight into time-resolved adsorption and interfacial molecular interactions. We developed an optical fiber-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor incorporating a yeast-derived bio-interface. A film formation monitoring method based on transmitted light absorbance during electroless Ni plating enabled reproducible fabrication of gold nanofilms. Yeast cells were uniformly immobilized via a spray-based method to construct the bio-interface. Using this sensor, real-time adsorption of pharmaceuticals onto yeast cells was evaluated: Doxorubicin showed a concentration-dependent SPR response, whereas ampicillin showed no significant change in SPR response. The optical fiber configuration allows for direct immersion into environmental waters for in situ measurements, providing a platform for dynamic analysis of microorganism-pollutant interactions and advancing water treatment and environmental monitoring technologies.
期刊介绍:
The Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal. It provides a unique platform for rapid publication without any charges (free for author and reader) – Platinum Open Access. The content is freely accessible 365 days a year to any user worldwide. Articles are available online immediately upon publication and are publicly archived in all major repositories. In addition, it provides a platform for publishing thematic issues (theme-based collections of articles) on topical issues in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The journal is published and completely funded by the Beilstein-Institut, a non-profit foundation located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The editor-in-chief is Professor Thomas Schimmel – Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. He is supported by more than 20 associate editors who are responsible for a particular subject area within the scope of the journal.
