The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research received a $401,267 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. This research project will produce fundamental scientific knowledge regarding the antibacterial mechanisms of lignin nanoparticles derived from natural plant materials. Specifically, the research team will investigate how particle properties—including size, surface charge, and adhesiveness—interact with bacterial cell surface characteristics to determine toxicity and efficacy across different bacterial species. The project will deliver detailed mechanistic insights through microscopic examination of bacterial cell pores, analysis of electrostatic interactions, and evaluation of particle-bacteria binding dynamics. In addition to advancing the science of plant-based nanoparticle antimicrobial applications, the award includes an educational component designed to develop the next generation of engineers and scientists. The research team will create instructional curricula and provide hands-on laboratory experiences for both college and high school students to build awareness of sustainable, plant-derived materials for commercial applications. The knowledge and educational outputs from this project will support the development of enhanced antimicrobial technologies with practical applications in food packaging, wound care, and water treatment systems.Summary of Federal Project Grant Award
