Water-soluble extracellular vesicle probes based on conjugated oligoelectrolytes Open
We developed a series of transmembrane conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) with tunable optical emissions from the UV to the near IR to address the false-positive problem when detecting nanometer-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) by flow …

Carotenoids improve bacterial tolerance towards biobutanol through membrane stabilization Open
The nano-aggregation of carotenoids in microbial membranes increases membrane stability upon butanol exposure by reducing the fluidization effect and membrane permeability of butanol.

Amphiphilic membrane intercalators : functionality and mechanisms of action in microbial systems Open
The cell membrane is an essential component of the bacteria, that is primarily made up of a lipid bilayer. To function properly, its physicochemical properties must remain in a narrow range. Unlike the cells of higher organisms, the bacter…

Gram Typing: Gram‐Typing Using Conjugated Oligoelectrolytes (Adv. Funct. Mater. 42/2020) Open
In article number 2004068, Jamie Hinks, Guillermo C. Bazan, and co-workers develop a membrane-specific fluorescent dye that selectively stains Gram-positive bacteria based on a conjugated oligoelectrolyte molecular structure. The conjugate…

Conjugated Oligoelectrolytes: A Chain‐Elongated Oligophenylenevinylene Electrolyte Increases Microbial Membrane Stability (Adv. Mater. 18/2019) Open
Achieving biotechnological strain improvement using synthetic materials represents a simple approach compared to genetic techniques. In article 1808021, Jamie Hinks, Guillermo C. Bazan, and co-workers demonstrate a novel membrane-intercala…
