In situ preparation of glyco-micromotors and their bacteria loading/guiding ability

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Sep 29;58(78):10965-10968. doi: 10.1039/d2cc03722j.

Abstract

We successfully synthesized glyco-micromotors in situ directed by multifunctional glycopolymers, which were obtained by copolymerizing 2-methacrylamido glucopyranose (MAG) and 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA) monomers. The fabricated glyco-micromotors present abilities in loading and guiding bacteria with different individual and group motions.
