    Abstract

    Microbe-catalyzed surface modification is a promising method for the production of special targeting nanomaterials. A bacterium-selective material can be obtained by investigating the microbe-catalyzed mineralization of proteins. Herein, a novel method was fabricated for the biosynthesis of FeS-decorated porphyrin–protein clusters (P-CA@BE) viaE. coli (Escherichia coli)-catalyzed bio-Fe(III) reduction and bio-sulfidation of porphyrin (P), caffeic acid (CA), and protein [bovine serum albumin (BSA)] assemblies. The assembly (P-CA@BSA) was identified by spectroscopic methods. Next, the P-CA@BSA assembly was transferred into FeS-decorated porphyrin–protein clusters (P-CA@BE) catalyzed by E. coli. There are partial β-folding proteins in P-CA@BE, which selectively recognize S. aureus (Staphylococcus aureus) and show different antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus. Results demonstrate that the E. coli-catalyzed mineralization of the porphyrin–protein assembly is an effective method for the biosynthesis of S. aureus-sensitive metal–protein clusters.
