A surface patterning technique and a specific and strong biotin-streptavidin bonding of bacteria on patterned surfaces are proposed to fabricate Janus particles that are propelled by the attached bacteria. Bacteria-driven Janus microswimmers with diameters larger than 3 μm show enhanced mean propulsion speed. Such microswimmers could be used for future applications such as targeted drug delivery and environmental remediation.
提出了一种表面图案化技术和细菌在图案化表面上的特定且强的生物素-链霉亲和素结合,以制造由附着的细菌推动的各向异性颗粒。直径大于 3 μm 的细菌驱动的各向异性微游泳者显示出增强的平均推进速度。这种微游泳者可用于未来的应用,如靶向药物输送和环境修复。
