Description

Application of chiral carbon quantum dots
Technical Field
The invention relates to a new application of chiral carbon quantum dots, in particular to an application of the chiral carbon quantum dots as fungus/bacteria imaging materials.
Background
Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs), also called Carbon Dots (CDs) or Carbon nanodots, are spherical fluorescent nanoparticles with Carbon as a framework structure, good dispersibility and particle size less than 10nm, and are a novel zero-dimensional Carbon-based nanomaterial discovered after fullerene, carbon nanotube and graphene. Due to the characteristics of nano-size effect, adjustable photoluminescence property, low toxicity, good biocompatibility, easy surface modification and the like, the carbon quantum dots are widely researched and applied in the fields of biological detection, fluorescence imaging, catalysis, tumor resistance and the like.
On the other hand, bacterial infections are one of the biggest challenges facing the world, and rapid diagnosis of bacterial infections is of crucial importance for clinical treatment. The standard method for identifying unknown bacteria is gram staining, which classifies bacterial species into two categories: gram positive and gram negative. However, this method has some disadvantages, such as cumbersome procedures and the easy generation of false positive results. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) has been considered a highly sensitive bacterial species identification technique, but this technique is too expensive for many places in developing countries, which greatly limits its practical application. Therefore, the invention of rapid bacterial infection diagnosis and simple and efficient bacterial identification technology is very urgent.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a new application of chiral carbon quantum dots.
The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for differentiating gram-positive bacteria/fungi from gram-negative bacteria.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention provides an application of chiral carbon quantum dots as a bacterial and/or fungal imaging material.
Specifically, the inventor finds that the chiral carbon quantum dots (the left-handed chiral carbon quantum dots or the right-handed chiral carbon quantum dots) have good chiral properties, stable fluorescence performance and fluorescence emission characteristics dependent on laser wavelength through a large amount of research. In addition, the chiral carbon quantum dots have low toxicity, good biocompatibility and photobleaching resistance. Therefore, the method has good application prospect in the aspect of imaging materials of bacteria and/or fungi.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a preparation method of the chiral carbon quantum dot comprises: sodium hydroxide, L-cysteine or D-cysteine and water are mixed according to the proportion of (0.1-1): (3-7): (120-200), reacting for 12-20 h at 100-140 ℃, and centrifuging and dialyzing the obtained reaction solution to obtain the chiral carbon quantum dots.
Wherein, the levo-cysteine or dextro-cysteine is used as a chiral source and a carbon source, sodium hydroxide is used as a catalyst for the carbonization polymerization reaction, water is used as a dispersing agent, and the hydrothermal reaction is carried out after a reaction system is formed. Centrifuging after hydrothermal reaction, filtering the obtained supernatant by using a cylindrical filter membrane with the aperture of 0.2-0.3 mu m, dialyzing for 12-36 h by using a dialysis belt with the molecular weight cutoff of 500-1000 Da (taking water as dialysis external liquid, replacing the dialysis external liquid every 4 h) to obtain a chiral carbon quantum dot aqueous solution, and then carrying out vacuum freeze drying at-100 to-50 ℃ for 24-48 h to obtain a finished product of the chiral carbon quantum dot.
The chiral carbon quantum dots prepared by the method are uniformly dispersed, and the average particle size is 4-5.5 nm. More specifically, the average grain diameter of the levorotatory chiral carbon quantum dots (L-CDs) is 5-5.5 nm, and the lattice spacing is 0.2-0.25 nm; the average grain diameter of the right-handed chiral carbon quantum dots (D-CDs) is 4-5 nm, the lattice spacing is 0.3-0.35 nm, and both have good crystal structures. Furthermore, the chiral carbon quantum dots prepared by the method have stable fluorescence performance, which lays a good foundation for the chiral carbon quantum dots as imaging materials of bacteria and/or fungi.
The traditional semiconductor quantum dots have high toxicity and poor light stability, and are difficult to be applied as imaging materials of bacteria and/or fungi. In addition, the chiral amino acid functionalized modified graphene quantum dot can selectively kill bacteria without toxicity to mammalian cells, and can perform biological imaging on escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus and Hela cells within 3 h. However, the carbon quantum dot cannot effectively distinguish gram-negative bacteria from gram-positive bacteria within a short time (30 min), and cannot distinguish gram-negative bacteria from fungi, so that the carbon quantum dot cannot be used as an imaging material for gram-positive bacteria/fungi.
After the chiral carbon quantum dots and the bacteria/fungi are incubated for about 30min, gram-positive bacteria and fungi can be well dyed, and fluorescence imaging is not performed on the gram-negative bacteria, so that the aim of distinguishing the gram-negative bacteria from the gram-positive bacteria/fungi is fulfilled. In addition, the chiral carbon quantum dot can realize blue, green and red three-color fluorescence imaging.
Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bacteria are gram-positive bacteria. Specifically, the inventor finds that the chiral carbon quantum dots can realize good staining of gram-positive bacteria through a large number of experiments, so that the chiral carbon quantum dots can display blue, green and red fluorescence under the excitation of three kinds of laser, and further achieve the purpose of identifying the chiral carbon quantum dots.

Aureus, ATCC 25923), methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, ATCC 43300), enterococcus faecalis (e.faecalis, ATCC 29212), bacillus subtilis (b.subtilis, CMCC (B) 63501).
Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, the fungi are candida albicans (c.albicans, ATCC 10231), candida parapsilosis (c.parapsilosis, ATCC 22019), but are not limited thereto.
Correspondingly, the invention also discloses a method for distinguishing gram-positive bacteria/fungi and gram-negative bacteria, which comprises the steps of incubating the bacteria to be detected and the chiral carbon quantum dots together and then detecting.
Wherein, the chiral carbon quantum dots can be left-handed chiral carbon quantum dots (L-CDs) or right-handed chiral carbon quantum dots (D-CDs).
Wherein the common incubation time is more than or equal to 30min, and if the incubation time is less than 30min, the fluorescence observed in gram-positive bacteria/fungi is weaker. Preferably, the incubation time is 30-40 min, and the fluorescence is obvious, the detection accuracy is high, and the detection efficiency is high.
The detection is performed by flow cytometry or laser Confocal (CLSM) microscopy, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, detection is by laser Confocal (CLSM) microscopy; the detection wavelengths are 405nm, 488nm and 552nm respectively. Further, when laser confocal microscopy (CLSM) is adopted for detection, if the bacteria to be detected show blue, green and red fluorescence under excitation of three excitation wavelengths of 405nm, 488nm and 552nm, the bacteria to be detected are gram-positive bacteria or fungi; otherwise, the bacteria to be detected are gram-negative bacteria.
Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the gram-negative bacteria are escherichia coli, proteus mirabilis and/or salmonella; the gram-positive bacteria are staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, enterococcus faecalis and/or bacillus subtilis.
Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the fungus is candida albicans and/or candida parapsilosis;

Gram-negative bacteria: escherichia coli (e.coli, ATCC 25922), proteus mirabilis (p.mirabilis, pro10 (AO 250)), salmonella (s.typhimurium, ATCC 14028). Fungi: candida albicans (c.albicans, ATCC 10231), candida parapsilosis (c.parapsilosis, ATCC 22019). Single bacterial colonies were picked with the inoculating loop in 5mL LB broth, single Candida albicans colonies were picked in Staphylococcus saxifragi medium, and cultured overnight with shaking at 37 ℃ and 200rpm for 18h.

Fig. 4A, B shows that no significant fluorescence of carbon quantum dots was observed for any of the three gram-negative bacteria tested, demonstrating that chiral carbon quantum dots enter gram-positive bacteria/fungi in a short time and cannot enter gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria/fungi can be better distinguished from gram-negative bacteria.
