Abstract  

Bacterial biofilm contained with proteins and polysaccharides, which made it have the potential to mimic extracellular matrix for tissue repair. It also has the properties to attach the substrate firmly. In order to regulate the bioactivity of titanium metal, inactivated bacterial biofilm was hybridized on the metal surfaces. Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) was cultured for 5 d on pure titanium metal (P-Ti) and that subjected to acid-alkali treatment (AA-Ti), and then the bacteria was inactivated at 121 ℃ and 0.13 MPa for 30 min to get hybridized titanium metals BP-Ti and BAA-Ti respectively. BCA (bicinchoninic acid) assay and phenol-sulfuric acid analysis showed the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the biofilm on BAA-Ti contented less polysaccharide and more protein than that on BP-Ti. Enzyme immunoassay showed the staphylococcal enterotoxins in both biofilms were lower than the threshold value. SBF (simulated body fluid) soaking experiments showed both BAA-Ti and BP-Ti could induce apatite formation after 5 d, and BAA-Ti induced less apatite than the BP-Ti did. The AA-Ti could induce apatite formation at 1 d, but there is no apatite formation on P-Ti even after 5 d. It indicated that the biofilm decreased the bioactivity of BAA-Ti, but increased the bioactivity of BP-Ti. This effect might depend on the roles of proteins and polysaccharide in the biofilms which could restrain the apatite formation for the former, and accelerate the apatite formation for the later. When osteosarcoma cell MG-63 was cultured on the metals for 3 d, the cell proliferation ability on the metals followed by the order of BAA-Ti
