摘要

Swimming activity of flagella is a main factor of the motility of bacteria. Flagella expressed on the surface of bacterial species serve as a primary means of motility including swimming. We propose to use optical tweezers to analyze the swimming activity of bacteria. The sample bacteria in this work are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and it is a gram-negative bacterium and it often causes leading to burn wound infections, urinary-tract infections, and pneumonia. The single polar flagellum of P. aeruginosa has been demonstrated to be important virulence and colonization factor of this opportunistic pathogen. We demonstrate a gene to regulate the bacterial swimming activity in P. aeruginosa PAO1 by biological method. However, the change of flagellar morphology was not observed by electron microscopy analysis, suggesting that the gene regulates the flagellar rotation that could not be detected by biological method. Photonic Force Microscope (PFM) first developed by E. Stelzer of European Molecular Biology Laboratory, is an advanced version of optical tweezers Equipped with an optional high-sensitivity quadrant photo detector (QPD), PFM is capable of trapping a micro object and monitoring the prompt and random Brownian fluctuations of the trapped object simultaneously. It exhibits a spatial resolution of a few nanometers to detect the relative position of the probe at an acquisition rate over 1 MHz. By capturing a flagella, we expect the rotation of the flagella could be detected. It is expected that the study of the swimming activity of P. aeruginosa provide potent method for the pathogenic role of the flagella in P. aeruginosa.

Stelzer首次开发,是光学镊子的高级版本,配备了可选的高灵敏度象限光电探测器(QPD),PFM能够捕获微小物体并监视物体。迅速而随机地使被困物体产生布朗波动。它具有几纳米的空间分辨率,可以在1 MHz以上的采集速率下检测探头的相对位置。通过捕获鞭毛,我们期望可以检测到鞭毛的旋转。预期铜绿假单胞菌游泳活性的研究为鞭毛在铜绿假单胞菌中的致病作用提供了有效的方法。
