Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) are nanostructures shed naturally by most bacterial species. BMVs carry nucleic acids, proteins, especially virulence factors and immune regulatory factors for the inter- and intra-species communication, showing great potential in the development of vaccines and anticancer drugs. However, the purification and characterization of BMVs remain challenging due to their large heterogeneity, nanoscale particle size, and low contents of cargo molecules. Based on the unique advantages such as the laboratory-built nano-flow cytometer (nFCM) in the sensitive and rapid analysis of individual nanoparticles, the purity, concentration and size distribution of BMV preparations were measured in this work. The experimental results demonstrated that the components in each density layer after density gradient centrifugation could be detected by nFCM to obtain BMVs samples with a high purity of more than 90%. BMVs secreted by Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus and Gram-negative bacteria E.coli O157:H7 were significantly different in density, which mainly presented in the second (ρ=1.06 g/mL) and fourth (ρ=1.10 g/mL) fractions of the Optiprep density gradient layer respectively. The median particle sizes of BMVs derived from Gram-positive (S.aureus) and Gram-negative (E.coli O157:H7) bacteria were 64.9 nm and 83.5 nm, respectively. In conclusion, the study presented here reported the development of an efficient method to characterize the purity, concentration, and size distribution of BMVs at the single-particle level. nFCM was expected to provide powerful technical support for the biological function study of BMVs.
