Directed assembly of living Pseudomonas aeruginosa on PEI patterns fabricated by nanoxerography for statistical AFM bio-experiments

Résumé

Immobilization of living micro-organisms on predefined areas of substrates is a prerequisite for their characterizations by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in culture media. It remains challenging since micro-organisms should not be denatured but attached strongly enough to be scanned with an AFM tip, in a liquid phase. In this work, a novel approach is proposed to electrostatically assemble biological objects of interest on 2 nm thick polyethylenimine (PEI) patterns fabricated by nanoxerography. This nanoxerography process involves electrostatic trapping of PEI chains on negatively charged patterns written on electret thin films by AFM or electrical microcontact printing. The capability of this approach is demonstrated using a common biological system, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. These negatively charged bacteria are selectively assembled on large scale arrays of PEI patterns. In contrast to other PEI continuous films commonly used for cell anchoring, these ultrathin PEI patterns strongly attached on the surface do not cause any denaturation of the assembled Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. AFM characterizations of large populations of individual living bacteria in culture media can thus be easily performed through this approach, providing the opportunity to perform representative statistical data analysis. Interestingly, this process may be extended to any negatively charged micro-organism in solution.
