A Genetically Engineered Biofilm Material for SARS-CoV-2 Capturing and Isolation.

ABSTRACT: The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is continuously infecting people all around the world since its outbreak in 2019. Studies for numerous infection detection strategies are continuing. The sensitivity of detection methods is crucial to separate people with mild infections from people who are asymptomatic. In this sense, a strategy that would help to capture and isolate the SARS-CoV-2 virus prior to tests can be effective and beneficial. To this extent, genetically engineered biomaterials grounding from the biofilm protein of Escherichia coli are beneficial due to their robustness and adaptability to various application areas. Through functionalizing the E. coli biofilm protein, diverse properties can be attained such as enzyme display, nano
