Abstract

Gels, microgels, and matrices were prepared based on a previously developed recombinant spidroin, 1F9, produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain; their physical, chemical, and biological properties were investigated. It was shown that microgels obtained from 2.5% hydrogel are sized in the range of 50–300 μm, with a predominance of particles of 50–150 μm in diameter. The microgel particles were stable in neutral, acidic, and alkaline media; the destruction of 50% (wt.) of the particles occurred in corrosive media (Fenton’s reagent) within three weeks. The microgel surface, which was studied by laser scanning confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, has a complex relief in which there are both nano-(250–400 nm) and microstructures (3–7 μm). It was shown that particles of both microgel and matrices are capable of adhesion and support the proliferation of 3T3 murine fibroblasts in vitro.
