In vitro magnetosome remineralization for silver-magnetite hybrid magnetosome biosynthesis and used for healing of the infected wound.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetosomes (BMPs) are organelles of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) that are responsible for mineralizing iron to form magnetite. In addition, BMP is an ideal biomaterial that is widely used in bio- and nano-technological applications, such as drug delivery, tumor detection and therapy, and immunodetection. The use of BMPs to create multifunctional nanocomposites would further expand the range of their applications.

Results

In this study, we firstly demonstrate that the extracted BMP can remineralize in vitro when it is exposed to AgNO₃ solution, the silver ions (Ag⁺) were transported into the BMP biomembrane (MM) and mineralized into a silver crystal on one crystal plane of Fe₃O₄. Resulting in the rapid synthesis of an A
