The aim of this study is to optimize preparation method of polyethyleneimine (PEI)-coated bacterial biosorbent in water as reaction media using fermentation waste biomass of Corynebacterium glutamicum as a raw material. The fermentation waste biomass of C. glutamicum and Reactive Red 4 were used as model raw bacterium and pollutant. Major factors affecting the performance of PEI-coated biosorbent were the amounts of polymer (PEI) and cross-linker glutaraldehyde (GA). These factors were optimized through response surface methodology (RSM) with two-level-two-factor (2(2)) full factorial central composite design. As a result, the optimum conditions were found to be 4.29 g of PEI and 0.15 mL of GA, with 10 g of the biomass, where the sorption capacity was enhanced 4.52-fold compared to that of the raw biomass. Therefore, this simple, cost-effective, and water-based method could be a useful modification tool for the development of a high performance biosorbent for removing anionic pollutants.

Since the fire hazards of polyester-cotton blended (PTCO) fabrics and the hidden dangers of bacterial infection concerns caused by the contained cotton fiber, the design of flame retardant and antibacterial PTCO fabrics has received considerable attention. In this work, flame-retardant PTCO fabrics with satisfactory antibacterial properties were fabricated via a convenient and eco-friendly impregnation treatment involving guanidine phosphate (GP) and polyethylenimine (PEI). The prepared PTCO fabrics demonstrated excellent flame retardancy with a high limiting oxygen index value of 30.

Aqueous core-shell structures can serve as an efficient approach that allows cells to generate 3D spheroids with -like cell-to-cell contacts. Here, a novel strategy for fabricating liquid-core-shell capsules is proposed by inverse gelation of alginate (ALG) and layer-by-layer (LbL) coating. We hypothesized that the unique properties of polyethylenimine (PEI) could be utilized to overcome the low structural stability and the limited cell recognition motifs of ALG.

Utilizing mussel-inspired chemistry is an advanced strategy for surface modification, because dopamine (DA) can form a material-independent adhesive coating and further functionalization can be achieved, including the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Nevertheless, DA easily aggregates in the nanofiber network structure of bacterial cellulose (BC), which not only blocks the pores in the BC structure but also leads to the formation of large silver particles and the burst release of highly cytotoxic silver ions. Herein, a homogeneous AgNP-loaded polydopamine (PDA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) coated BC was constructed via a Michael reaction between PDA and PEI.

The widespread increase in antibiotic resistance (AR), in an extensive range of microorganisms, demands the development of alternative antimicrobials with novel non-specific low-mutation bacterial targets. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and photosensitizers (PSs) are promising antimicrobial agents with broad-spectrum activity and low tendency for antimicrobial resistance development. Herein, we investigated the light-mediated oxidation of AgNPs for accelerated release of Ag in the antibacterial synergy of PS-AgNP conjugates using protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) as a PS.

Carvacrol (CAR) is a natural bioactive compound with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity that is present in essential oils. The application of CAR in food preservation is hampered by its high volatility, low solubility in water, and susceptibility to light, heat and oxygen degradation. Polylactide (PLA) is an FDA-approved polymer derived from renewable resources.
