Programmable transport of micro- and nanoparticles by Paramecium caudatum
bioRxiv(2017)
摘要
We exploit chemo- and galvanotactic behaviour of Paramecium caudatum to design a hybrid device that allows for controlled uptake, transport and deposition of environmental micro- and nanoparticulates in an aqueous medium. Manipulation of these objects is specific, programmable and parallel. We demonstrate how device operation and output interpretation may be automated via a DIY low-cost fluorescence spectrometer, driven by a microprocessor board. The applications of the device presented range from collection and detoxification of environmental contaminants (e.g. nanoparticles), to micromixing, to natural expressions of computer logic.
