3D-printed ¡®living material¡¯ could clean up contaminated water


Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a new type of material that could offer a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to clean pollutants from water.


Dubbed an ¡°engineered living material,¡± it is a 3D-printed structure made of a seaweed-based polymer combined with bacteria that have been genetically engineered to produce an enzyme that transforms various organic pollutants into benign molecules. 


The bacteria were also engineered to self-destruct in the presence of a molecule called theophylline, which is often found in tea and chocolate. This offers a way to eliminate them after they have done their job.


he researchers describe the new decontaminating material in a paper published in the journal Nature Communications.


¡°What¡¯s innovative is the pairing of a polymer material with a biological system to create a living material that can function and respond to stimuli in ways that regular synthetic materials cannot,¡± said Jon Pokorski, a professor of nanoengineering at UC San Diego who co-led the research.


The work was a collaboration among engineers, materials scientists and biologists at the UC San Diego Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC). Co-principal investigators of the multidisciplinary team include molecular biology professors Susan Golden and James Golden and nanoengineering professor Shaochen Chen.


¡°This collaboration allowed us to apply our knowledge of the genetics and physiology of cyanobacteria to create a living material,¡± said Susan Golden, a faculty member in the School of Biological Sciences. ¡°Now we can think creatively about engineering novel functions into cyanobacteria to make more useful products.¡±


To create the living material in this study, the researchers used alginate, a natural polymer derived from seaweed, hydrated it to make a gel and mixed it with a type of water-dwelling, photosynthetic bacteria known as cyanobacteria.


The mixture was fed into a 3D printer. After testing various 3D-printed geometries for their material, the researchers found that a grid-like structure was optimal for keeping the bacteria alive. The chosen shape has a high surface area to volume ratio, which places most of the cyanobacteria near the material¡¯s surface to access nutrients, gases and light.


The increased surface area also makes the material more effective at decontamination.


As a proof-of-concept experiment, the researchers genetically engineered the cyanobacteria in their material to continually produce a decontaminating enzyme called laccase. 


Studies have shown that laccase can be used to neutralize a variety of organic pollutants including bisphenol A (BPA), antibiotics, pharmaceutical drugs and dyes. In this study, the researchers demonstrated that their material can be used to decontaminate the dye-based pollutant indigo carmine, which is a blue dye that is widely used in the textile industry to color denim. In tests, the material decolorized a water solution containing the dye.


The researchers also developed a way to eliminate the cyanobacteria after the pollutants have been cleared. They genetically engineered the bacteria to respond to a molecule called theophylline. The molecule triggers the bacteria to produce a protein that destroys their cells.


¡°The living material can act on the pollutant of interest, then a small molecule can be added afterwards to kill the bacteria,¡± said Pokorski. ¡°This way, we can alleviate any concerns about having genetically modified bacteria lingering in the environment.¡±


A preferable solution, the researchers note, is to have the bacteria destroy themselves without the addition of chemicals. This will be one of the future directions of this research.


¡°Our goal is to make materials that respond to stimuli that are already present in the environment,¡± said Pokorski.


¡°We¡¯re excited about the possibilities that this work can lead to, the exciting new materials we can create. This is the kind of research that can result when researchers with cross-disciplinary expertise in materials and biological sciences join forces. This is all made possible thanks to our interdisciplinary research group at the UC San Diego MRSEC.¡±
