Microbe-assisted fabrication of circularly polarized luminescent bacterial cellulosic hybrids.

ABSTRACT: The fabrications of circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) material are mainly based on the chemical and physical strategies. Controlled biosynthesis of CPL-active materials is beset with difficulties due to the lack of bioactive luminescent precursors and bio-reactors. Enlighted by microbe-assisted asymmetric biosynthesis, herein, we show the in situ bacterial fermentation of Komagataeibacter sucrofermentants to fabricate a series of bacterial cellulosic biofilms with CPL of green, orange, red, and near-infrared colors. This process can trigger CPL emission for CPL-silent glycosylated luminophores and amplify the g_lum of weak CPL-active luminophores up to a 10^-2 scale. To confirm glycosidic bonds formation during the bacterial copolymerization process, we develop an
