Characterization and optimization of a two-phase partitioning bioreactor for the biodegradation of phenol 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
An electrochemical reactor employing activated carbon fibers (ACF) was constructed for the disinfection of bacteria in drinking
water. The application of an alternating potential of 1.0 V and −0.8 V versus a saturated calomel electrode, for disinfecting
and desorbing bacteria, enabled reactor operation for 840 h. Drinking water was passed through the reactor in stop/flow mode:
300 ml/min flow for 12 h and no flow for 12 h, alternately. The bacterial cell density in treated water was always been less
than 20 cells/ml. It was also found that the formation of biofilm on the ACF reactor caused an increase in current, enabling
the self-detection of microbial fouling.

A novel electrochemical reactor employing carbon-cloth electrodes was constructed for disinfection of drinking water. Escherichia coli K-12 (10(2) cells per cm3) was sterilized when a cell suspension was passed through the reactor at a dilution rate of 6.0 h-1, and a potential of 0.7 V versus a saturated calomel electrode was applied to an electrode. The survival ratio increased with increasing dilution rate but was less than 0.1% at dilution rates of less than 6.0 h-1. Although the survival ratio increased with increasing cell concentration above 10(3) cells per cm3, the disinfection rate also increased. The disinfection rate was 6.0 x 10(2) cells per cm3 per h at a cell concentration of 10(2) cells per cm3. Continuous sterilization of E. coli cells was carried out for 24 h. Sterilization is based on an electrochemical reaction between the electrode and the cell which is mediated by intracellular coenzyme A. Sterilization of drinking water by using this reactor was successfully performed, demonstrating the potential of such a reactor for clean and efficient water purification. 相似文献

In this study we describe the preparation of a colored conductive paint electrode containing In(2)O(3), SnO(2), or TiO(2) for the electrochemical inactivation of marine bacteria. When each colored conductive paint electrode was immersed in seawater containing 10(6) cells/mL for 90 min, marine microbe attachment to the TiO(2)/SnO(2)/Sb electrode surface was minimal. Preparation of electrodes coated with 40% particles is shown to be more cost-effective, and because of their more translucent coatings they can be painted over with bright colors. When a potential of 1.0 V was applied for 30 min to the colored conductive paint electrode (40 wt% TiO(2)/SnO(2)/Sb) in sterile seawater, the survival ratio decreased to 55%. When 1.5 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was applied, all attached cells were inactivated. Chlorine was not detected below an applied potential of 1.5 V. A change in pH was not observed in the range of 0 to 1.5 V. This method might be effective for preventing bacterial cell accumulation and the formation of biofilms. 相似文献

A bioelectrochemical reactor containing carbon fiber textiles enables efficient methane fermentation from garbage slurry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A packed-bed system includes supporting materials to retain microorganisms and a bioelectrochemical system influences the microbial metabolism. In our study, carbon fiber textiles (CFT) as a supporting material was attached onto a carbon working electrode in a bioelectrochemical reactor (BER) that degrades garbage slurry to methane, in order to investigate the effect of combining electrochemical regulation and packing CFT. The potential on the working electrode in the BER containing CFT was set to −1.0 V or −0.8 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). BERs containing CFT exhibited higher methane production, elimination of dichromate chemical oxygen demand, and the ratio of methanogens in the suspended fraction than reactors containing CFT without electrochemical regulation at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 27.8 gCODcr/L/day. In addition, BERs containing CFT exhibited higher reactor performances than BERs without CFT at this OLR. Our results revealed that the new design that combined electrochemical regulation and packing CFT was effective. 相似文献

The aim of this article is to investigate the potential of using sponges as a bioremediator to remove pathogenic bacteria in integrated aquaculture ecosystems. Using the inter-tidal marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve as a model system, the ability of removing the most common pathogens Escherichia coli and Vibrio anguillarum II in aquaculture waters was screened in laboratory tests. In sterilized natural seawater (SNSW) supplemented with E. coli at (7.0-8.3) x 10(6) cells/mL, H. perleve can remove an average 96% of E.coli within 10.5 h at a filter rate of ca. (7.53-8.03) x 10(7) cells/h x g of fresh sponge in two independent tests. Despite the removal efficiency and filter rate are similar; the clearance rates (CR) vary significantly among individual sponge specimens and between two batches. For the tests on V. anguillarum II in SNSW, about 1.5 g fresh sponges can keep the pathogen growth under control at a lower initial density 3.6 x 10(4) cells/mL of 200 mL water volume. Further tests were done for 24 h using about 12 g fresh sponge in 2-L actual seawater collected from two aquaculture sites that have ca. eightfold difference in pathogenic bacteria load. The concentrations of E. coli, Vibrio, and total bacteria at 24 h in treatment groups were markedly lower, at about 0.9%, 6.2%-34.5%, and 13.7%-22.5%, respectively, of those in the control. Using a fluoresce stain 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate, E. coli, and V. anguillarum II cells were stained and fed to sponges in two independent tests. The confocal microscope observation confirmed that the sponges filtering-retained and digested these bacteria by phagocytosis. 相似文献

Intestinal bacteria were classified as gram-positive or gram-negative by an electrode system with a basal plane pyrolytic graphite electrode and a porous nitrocellulose membrane filter to trap bacteria. When the potential of the graphite electrode was run in the range of 0 to 1.0 V versus the saturated calomel electrode (SCE), gram-positive bacteria gave peak currents at 0.65 to 0.69 V versus the SCE. The peak potentials of gram-negative bacteria were 0.70 to 0.74 V versus the SCE. Gram-negative bacteria and gram-positive bacteria were also classified based on the ratio of the second peak current to the first peak current when the potential cycle was repeated twice. The numbers of cells on the membrane filter were determined from the peak currents. It was found that the peak currents result from the electrochemical oxidation of coenzyme A in the cells of Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus acidophilus. 相似文献

Pellet softening reactors are used in centralized and decentralized drinking water treatment plants for the removal of calcium (hardness) through chemically induced precipitation of calcite. This is accomplished in fluidized pellet reactors, where a strong base is added to the influent to increase the pH and facilitate the process of precipitation on an added seeding material. Here we describe for the first time the opportunistic bacterial colonization of the calcite pellets in a full-scale pellet softening reactor and the functional contribution of these colonizing bacteria to the overall drinking water treatment process. ATP analysis, advanced microscopy, and community fingerprinting with denaturing gradient gel electrophoretic (DGGE) analysis were used to characterize the biomass on the pellets, while assimilable organic carbon (AOC), dissolved organic carbon, and flow cytometric analysis were used to characterize the impact of the biological processes on drinking water quality. The data revealed pellet colonization at concentrations in excess of 500 ng of ATP/g of pellet and reactor biomass concentrations as high as 220 mg of ATP/m(3) of reactor, comprising a wide variety of different microorganisms. These organisms removed as much as 60% of AOC from the water during treatment, thus contributing toward the biological stabilization of the drinking water. Notably, only a small fraction (about 60,000 cells/ml) of the bacteria in the reactors was released into the effluent under normal conditions, while the majority of the bacteria colonizing the pellets were captured in the calcite structures of the pellets and were removed as a reusable product. 相似文献

A highly sensitive and specific method of rapid resolution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (RRLC-MS/MS) in positive ionization mode has been developed and validated for pharmacokinetic study of puerarin in rat plasma. Chromatography was carried out on a Zorbax XDB C18 reversed-phase column using a mobile phase comprising a mixture of methanol and 0.05% acetic acid in water (35:65, v/v) with a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min from 0 min to 5.4 min and then 0.6 mL/min from 5.41 min to 12 min. The mass spectrometer operated in ESI positive ionization mode. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used to measure puerarin and tectoridin (internal standard). The method was sensitive with a detection limit of 0.33 ng/mL. A good linear response was observed over a range of 10-2000 ng/mL in rat plasma. The inter- and intra-day precision ranged from 2.97% to 7.52% and accuracy from 93.70% to 101.60%. This validated method was applied successfully to a pharmacokinetic study in rat plasma after intravenous administration of puerarin. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: AUC(0→t) 45.37±13.19 (mgh/L), AUC(0→∞) 47.03±14.78 (mgh/L), MRT 1.03±0.46 (h), T(1/2) 1.31±0.31 (h), V(ss) 0.09±0.02 (L), V(z) 0.17±0.04 (L), Cl 0.10±0.04 (L/h). 相似文献

In this paper we report a fast, sensitive and label-free biosensor for the selective determination of Salmonella Infantis. It is based on a field effect transistor (FET) in which a network of single-walled carbon nantotubes (SWCNTs) acts as the conductor channel. Anti-Salmonella antibodies were adsorbed onto the SWCNTs and subsequently the SWCNTs were protected with Tween 20 to prevent the non-specific binding of other bacteria or proteins. Our FET devices were exposed to increasing concentrations of S. Infantis and were able to detect at least 100cfu/mL in 1h. To evaluate the selectivity of our FET devices, Streptococcus pyogenes and Shigella sonnei were tested as potential competing bacteria for Salmonella. At a concentration of 500cfu/mL, neither Streptococcus nor Shigella interfered with the detection of Salmonella. Therefore, these devices could be used as useful label-free platforms to detect S. Infantis and, by using the suitable antibody, other bacteria or viruses. 相似文献

Conductive paint electrode was used for marine biofouling on fishing nets by electrochemical disinfection. When a potential of 1.2 V vs. a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was applied to the conductive paint electrode, Vibrio alginolyticus cells attached on the electrode were completely killed. By applying a negative potential, the attached cells were removed from the surface of the electrode. Changes in pH and chlorine concentration were not observed at potentials in the range -0.6 approximately 1.2 V vs. SCE. In a field experiment, accumulation of the bacterial cells and formation of biofilms on the electrode were prevented by application of an alternating potential, and 94% of attachment of the biofouling organisms was inhibited electrically on yarn used for fishing net coated with conductive paint.

Arsenic-contaminated drinking water from various towns of Comarca Lagunera, Coahuila, Mexico, was tested for its ability to induce sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) in Vicia faba. 3-h treatments were applied and the differential staining technique of Tempelaar et al. (1982) was used. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry showed that the arsenic concentration in drinking water was 0.11-0.695 ppm, well over the maximum limit of 0.05 ppm (EPA, 1984). In all cases the SCE frequencies were significantly different from the controls. Some concentrations (0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 ppm) of sodium arsenate (V) and potassium arsenite (III) were also applied to Vicia faba and all produced significant SCE frequencies, except 0.2 ppm of sodium arsenate. 相似文献

电解海水的抑菌活性及对食品加工表面材料的消毒效果 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
为了考察直接电解海水消除细菌污染的可能性,本文将海水及海水稀释成不同浓度后通过氧化电解水装置进行电解不同时间后,所得酸性电解海水、碱性电解海水和中性电解海水对病原菌[埃希氏大肠杆菌(Escherichina coli)、沙门氏菌(Salmonella)、单核细胞增生李斯特菌(Listeria moncytogene)、摩化摩根(Morganella morganii)、副溶血性弧菌(Vibrio parahaemolyticus)]以及食品加工表面接触材料(地板砖、不锈钢板、瓷砖、手套、抹布)的消毒效果进行分析研究.结果表明,酸性电解海水具有良好的杀菌效果,能将107 CFU/mL的病原菌悬液在1 min内几乎全部杀死.碱性电解海水和中性水无明显的杀菌效果.通过模拟食品加工过程,对食品加工表面接触材料人为染菌,研究电解海水对表面材料的消毒效果,结果表明酸性电解海水仍能将表面材料含有的107CFU/cm2病原菌在5 min之内几乎全部杀灭.由此说明电解海水对食品加工表面接触材料具有明显的消毒效果,能取代以淡水为原料的电解水杀菌效果是高效廉价和不浪费淡水资源的一种理想消毒剂. 相似文献

A carbon-chloroprene sheet (CCS) electrode was used for the electrochemical disinfection of the marine gram-negative bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus. When the electrode was incubated in seawater containing 105 cells per ml for 90 min, the amount of adsorbed cells was 4.5 × 103 cells per cm2. When a potential of 1.2 V versus a saturated calomel electrode was applied to the CCS for 20 min, 67% of adsorbed cells were killed. This disinfection was due to the direct electrochemical oxidation of cells and not to a change in pH or to the generation of toxic substances, such as chlorine. In a 1-year field experiment, marine biofouling of a CCS-coated cooling pipe caused by attachment of bacteria and invertebrates was considerably reduced by application of a potential of 1.2 V versus a saturated calomel electrode. Since this method requires low potential electrical energy, use of a CCS coating appears to be a suitable method for the clean prevention of marine biofouling. 相似文献

Detoxification of organophosphate pesticides using an immobilized phosphotriesterase from Pseudomonas diminuta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A purified phosphotriesterase was successfully immobilized onto trityl agarose in a fixed bed reactor. A total of up to 9200 units of enzyme activity was immobilized onto 2.0 mL of trityl agarose (65 mumol trityl groups/mL agarose), where one unit is the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the hydrolysis of one micromole of paraoxon in one min. The immobilized enzyme was shown to behave chemically and kinetically similar to the free enzyme when paraoxon was utilized as a substrate. Several organophosphate pesticides, methyl parathion, ethyl parathion, diazinon, and coumaphos were also hydrolyzed by the immobilized phosphotriesterase. However, all substrates exhibited an affinity for the trityl agarose matrix. For increased solubility and reduction in the affinity of these pesticides for the trityl agarose matrix, methanol/water mixtures were utilized. The effect of methanol was not deleterious when concentrations of less than 20% were present. However, higher concentrations resulted in elution of enzyme from the reactor. With a 10-unit reactor, a 1.0 mM paraoxon solution was hydrolyzed completely at a flow rate of 45 mL/h. Kinetic parameters were measured with a 0.1-unit reactor with paraoxon as a substrate at a flow rate of 22 mL/h. The apparent K(m) for the immobilized enzyme was 3-4 times greater than the K(m) (0.1 mM) for the soluble enzyme. Immobilization limited the maximum rate of substrate hydrolysis to 40% of the value observed for the soluble enzyme. The pH-rate profiles of the soluble and immobilized enzymes were very similar. The immobilization of phosphotriesterase onto trityl agarose provides an effective method esterase onto trityl agarose provides an effective method for hydrolyzing and thus detoxifyuing organophosphate pesticides and mammalian acetylcholinesterase inhinbitors. 相似文献

A functionalized microwire sensor based on dielectrophoresis (DEP) and antigen-antibody reaction was initially developed for sensitive and selective detection of E. coli O157:H7. The dynamics of gold-tungsten microwires were manipulated using an automated X-Y-Z stage and the sensing process included antibody immobilization and bacterial detection, and cell quantification. Antibodies were first immobilized on surface of the microwire to improve sensing specificity, and then coupled with DEP for capture of E. coli cells in a mixture of E. coli cells and non-conductive polystyrene beads. Afterward, fluorescein-conjugated secondary antibodies were applied to the wire for quantification of captured bacteria. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) figures and fluorescence intensities of bacteria on the wire validated the sensing mechanism. The entire immobilization and detection procedure could be completed within 30 min with simple operations. Performance of the microwire sensor was not significantly affected when conducted in orange juice. In addition, the detection limit of this sensor was about 5 bacterial cells per microwire in 1000 CFU/mL bacterial suspensions when the electric field generated at 3 MHz and 20 peak to peak voltage (V(pp)), and only targeted E. coli cells were concentrated and captured. 相似文献

A simple, rapid and sensitive presence/absence detection test for bacteriophage in drinking water 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
R. ARMON AND Y. KOTT. 1993. A rapid, simple and sensitive direct bacteriophage presence detection method for 500 ml drinking water samples has been developed. The method includes a glass device consisting of a jar containing the water sample and an immersible probe filled with solidified soft agar containing bacterial host cells. Host bacteria in logarithmic phase were added to the experimental volume and the probe was submerged. The entire device was incubated in a water bath at 36C.

A novel Nafion/bacteria-displaying xylose dehydrogenase (XDH)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) composite film-modified electrode was fabricated and applied for the sensitive and selective determination of d-xylose (INS 967), where the XDH-displayed bacteria (XDH-bacteria) was prepared using a newly identified ice nucleation protein from Pseudomonas borealis DL7 as an anchoring motif. The XDH-displayed bacteria can be used directly, eliminating further enzyme-extraction and purification, thus greatly improved the stability of the enzyme. The optimal conditions for the construction of biosensor were established: homogeneous Nafion-MWNTs composite dispersion (10 μL) was cast onto the inverted glassy carbon electrode, followed by casting 10-μL of XDH-bacteria aqueous solution to stand overnight to dry, then a 5-μL of Nafion solution (0.05 wt%) is syringed to the electrode surface. The bacteria-displaying XDH could catalyze the oxidization of xylose to xylonolactone with coenzyme NAD(+) in 0.1M PBS buffer (pH7.4), where NAD(+) (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is reduced to NADH (the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). The resultant NADH is further electrocatalytically oxidized by MWNTs on the electrode, resulting in an obvious oxidation peak around 0.50 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). In contrast, the bacteria-XDH-only modified electrode showed oxidation peak at higher potential of 0.7 V and less sensitivity. Therefore, the electrode/MWNTs/bacteria-XDH/Nafion exhibited good analytical performance such as long-term stability, a wide dynamic range of 0.6-100 μM and a low detection limit of 0.5 μM D-xylose (S/N=3). No interference was observed in the presence of 300-fold excess of other saccharides including D-glucose, D-fructose, D-maltose, D-galactose, D-mannose, D-sucrose, and D-cellbiose as well as 60-fold excess of L-arabinose. The proposed microbial biosensor is stable, specific, sensitive, reproducible, simple, rapid and cost-effective, which holds great potential in real applications. 相似文献
