Natural products span broad activities and applications; however, their access and production are often limited by native cellular sources. As a result, the heterologous production of a siderophore termed yersiniabactin (Ybt) was completed using the surrogate host Escherichia coli. Post-production and purification steps are complicated by the complex nature of most media used for cell growth, prompting the development in this work of an aqueous two-phase pre-purification system capable of rapidly and simply enhancing the concentration of the target Ybt compound.

Foodborne illnesses are a public health concern in the United States and worldwide. Recent outbreaks of Escherichia coli O157:H7 have brought to light the need for improved ways to detect foodborne pathogens and minimize serious outbreaks. Unfortunately, current methods for the detection of foodborne pathogens are time intensive and complex. In this study, we designed a spot immunoassay that uses a UCON-potassium phosphate salt aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) for the preconcentration of O157:H7. This platform was tested with samples of O157:H7 spiked in phosphate-buffered saline and milk. The ATPS was found to improve the detection limit of the spot test, yielding detection at 106 cfu/mL within 30 min. This is the first known application of ATPSs to spot immunoassays. Moreover, detection was successfully achieved without upstream processing or dilution of the sample prior to testing, thereby further simplifying the detection process. This technology’s ease of use, sensitivity, and short time to result highlight its potential to advance the spot test as a viable diagnostic tool for foodborne pathogens.
