The concept of a cell-mediated catalytic process for forming protective nano-shells on probiotic cells is demonstrated. This method leverages the cell environment to induce the oxidation of phenolic compounds and assemble them into nano-coatings around the cell surfaces. The coated probiotic cells show improved gastric tolerance, enhanced adhesion, and high antioxidant activity.
The use of cell-mediated chemistry is an emerging strategy that exploits the metabolic processes of living cells to develop biomimetic materials with advanced functionalities and enhanced biocompatibility. Here, a concept of a cell-mediated catalytic process for forming protective nano-shells on individual probiotic cells is demonstrated. This process is leveraged by the cell environment to induce oxidative polymerization of phenolic compounds, and simultaneously these phenolic polymers assemble to form nano-coatings around individual cell surfaces. The detailed analysis reveals that the oxidation process is triggered by an essential nutrient (manganese) of the probiotic cells, which significantly increases the oxidation rate of phenolic compounds. The phenolic coatings, encapsulating each cell in nanometre scale, demonstrate excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Additionally, the in situ encapsulated probiotic cells display an improved gastric tolerance of up to approximate to 1.4 times higher than the native cells and enhanced adhesion as high as approximate to 1.6 times onto a model of intestinal epithelial cells. Finally, the coated probiotic cells exhibit a high antioxidant activity as an advanced feature. Overall, this method provides a unique approach to improve the probiotic delivery using the cell machinery to engineer encapsulating nanocoatings with protective benefits and new functionalities.
