Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) has rarely been applied to screening of microorganisms because of poor detection resolution, which is compromised by poor stability, toxicity, or interference from background fluorescence of the fluorescence sensors used. Here, a fluorescence-based rapid high-throughput cell sorting method was first developed using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) fluorescent nanoprobe NP-RA, which was constructed by coating a silica nanoparticle with Rhodamine B and methyl-red (an azo dye). Rhodamine B (inner layer) is the FRET donor and methyl-red (outer layer) is the acceptor. This ready-to-use NPRA is non-fluorescent, but fluoresces once the outer layer is degraded by microorganisms. In our experiment, NPRA was ultrasensitive to model strain Shewanella decolorationis S12, showing a broad detection range from 8.0 cfu/mL to 8.7 x 10(8) cfu/mL under confocal laser scanning microscopy, and from 1.1 x 10(7) to 9.36 x 10(8) cfu/mL under a fluorometer. In addition, NP-RA bioimaging can clearly identify other azo-respiring cells in the microbial community, including Bosea thiooxidans DSM 9653 and Lysinibacillus pakistanensis NCCP-54. Furthermore, the fluorescent probe NP-RA is compatible with downstream FACS so that azo-respiring cells can be rapidly sorted out directly from an artificial microbial community. To our knowledge, no fluorescent nanoprobe has yet been designed for tracking and sorting azo-respiration functional microorganisms.
