ABSTRACTEdible devices are an emergent technology and in this paper the simplicity and efficacy that poly(acrylic acid)/calcium hydroxide possess in creating a pH sensitive ingestible actuator which responds to acidic environments such as gastric fluid is demonstrated. It was found that poly(acrylic acid)/calcium hydroxide hydrogels exhibit reversible actuation upon submerging in 0.1 M sodium citrate for 2 hours. Our results show that these hydrogels can restore their compressive stress to 0.19 ± 0.06 MPa, swelling ratio to 26 ± 2 and volume to 56% ± 3% of its original volume. This work offers new possibilities for developments in a variety of fields such as drug delivery, 4D printed materials, soft robotics and edible devices.

Algal Genome

Some microalgae are adapted to extremely acidic environments in which toxic metals are present at high levels. However, little is known about how acidophilic algae evolved from their respective neutrophilic ancestors by adapting to particular acidic environments. To gain insights into this issue, we determined the draft genome sequence of the acidophilic green alga Chlamydomonas eustigma and performed comparative genome and transcriptome analyses between C. eustigma and its neutrophilic relative Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The results revealed the following features in C. eustigma that probably contributed to the adaptation to an acidic environment. Genes encoding heat-shock proteins and plasma membrane H+-ATPase are highly expressed in C. eustigma. This species has also lost fermentation pathways that acidify the cytosol and has acquired an energy shuttle and buffering system and arsenic detoxification genes through horizontal gene transfer. Moreover, the arsenic detoxification genes have been multiplied in the genome. These features have also been found in other acidophilic green and red algae, suggesting the existence of common mechanisms in the adaptation to acidic environments.

The effects of lactic acid, acetic acid, and acidic calcium sulfate (ACS) on viability and subsequent acid tolerance of three strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 were determined. Differences in tolerance to acidic environments were observed among strains, but the level of tolerance was not affected by the acidulant to which cells had been exposed. Cells of E. coli O157:H7 adapted to grow on tryptic soy agar acidified to pH 4.5 with ACS were compared to cells grown at pH 7.2 in the absence of ACS for their ability to survive after inoculation into ground beef treated with ACS, as well as untreated beef. The number of ACS-adapted cells recovered from ACS-treated beef was significantly (α = 0.05) higher than the number of control cells recovered from ACS-treated beef during the first 3 days of a 10-day storage period at 4°C, suggesting that ACS-adapted cells might be initially more tolerant than unadapted cells to reduced pH in ACS-treated beef. Regardless of treatment of ground beef with ACS or adaptation of E. coli O157:H7 to ACS before inoculating ground beef, the pathogen survived in high numbers.
