Insulator-based dielectrophoresis for the selective concentration and separation of live bacteria in water

Insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) was utilized to separate and concentrate selectively mixtures of two species of live bacteria simultaneously. Four species of bacteria were studied: the Gram-negative Escherichia coli and the Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus, and B. megaterium. Under an applied direct current (DC) electric field all the bacterial species exhibited negative dielectrophoretic behavior. The dielectrophoretic separations were carried out in a glass microchannel containing an array of insulating posts. The insulating posts in the microchannel produced nonuniformities in the electric field applied along the channel. Mixtures of two species of bacteria were introduced into the microchannel and the electric field was applied. The bacterial species exhibited different dielectrophoretic mobilities under the influence of the nonuniform field. From these experiments a trapping order was established with E. coli trapping at the weakest applied electric field, while the Bacillus species were trapped at different characteristic threshold fields. At stronger applied electric fields, the two different species of bacteria in the microchannel were dielectrophoretically trapped into two spatially distinct bands. The results showed that iDEP has the potential to selectively concentrate and separate different species of bacteria.

Amperometric monitoring of bacteria-induced milk acidity using a platinum disc microelectrode.

The acidity induced by the action of bacteria in milk samples was monitored amperometrically by using a platinum microelectrode. The measurements were performed directly on commercial packs of milk, stored at 32 degrees C, and were continued for 9-10 d after inoculation. The data were compared with those obtained by measuring the pH of the samples and the results are discussed on the basis of the metabolism of each bacterial species. The effects of the following bacteria were examined: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Aeromonas, and Corynebacterium.     

Magnetically recoverable nano-zirconium(IV) complex: enhancement of antibacterial activity

In this study, antibacterial activity of a zirconium(IV)–Schiff base ligand [Schiff base = N,N′-bis(3-salicylidenaminopropyl)amine] was examined via the paper disk diffusion method against Escherichia coli (gram-negative bacterium) and Bacillus subtilis (gram-positive bacterium). In the next step, a magnetically recoverable analog of this compound was synthesized by covalent grafting of the Schiff base ligand onto modified silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles. The synthesis was accomplished by the complexation of these magnetically recoverable nanoparticles with Zr(acac)₄. The newly synthesized particles were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA–DSC, XRF, TEM, FE-SEM, and VSM, and then screened against bacteria. The results indicated the significant increased activity of zirconium complex grafted onto nanomagnetite particles. Moreover, as the particles were superparamagnetic, they could be easily recovered from the reaction matrix by use of a permanent magnet.     

Surface properties and adhesion of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis to polyurethane - Influence of growth temperature

We sought to determine the influence of the growth temperature on the surface physicochemical properties and adhesion of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis. Growth temperature did not affect the surface characteristics of Bacillus cereus. With respect to the surface characteristics of the bacteria, water contact angle values indicated a hydrophilic nature for the vegetative forms of Bacillus subtilis with the exception of vegetative form cultured at 44^°C which, like the sporulated forms of the two species, was more hydrophobia When Bacillus subtilis was cultured at a temperature other than the optimum growth temperature, its global charge was increased; the more distant the culture temperature from the optimum temperature (30^°C), the higher the negative charge. Furthermore, using a tensiometric method, we demonstrated a production of surfactant by Bacillus subtilis. The rate of production rose the closer the growth temperature was to the optimum temperature. In line with the forecasts made on the basis of bacterial energy characteristics and those of a polyurethane surface, the growth and adhesion temperature only had a slight influence on the number of adherent cells.

Thiamine pyrophosphate riboswitches are targets for the antimicrobial compound pyrithiamine

Thiamine metabolism genes are regulated in numerous bacteria by a riboswitch class that binds the coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). We demonstrate that the antimicrobial action of the thiamine analog pyrithiamine (PT) is mediated by interaction with TPP riboswitches in bacteria and fungi. For example, pyrithiamine pyrophosphate (PTPP) binds the TPP riboswitch controlling the tenA operon in Bacillus subtilis. Expression of a TPP riboswitch-regulated reporter gene is reduced in transgenic B. subtilis or Escherichia coli when grown in the presence of thiamine or PT, while mutant riboswitches in these organisms are unresponsive to these ligands. Bacteria selected for PT resistance bear specific mutations that disrupt ligand binding to TPP riboswitches and derepress certain TPP metabolic genes. Our findings demonstrate that riboswitches can serve as antimicrobial drug targets and expand our understanding of thiamine metabolism in bacteria.     

Overview of the inactivation by 254 nm ultraviolet radiation of bacteria with particular relevance to biodefense

Abstract Our goal was to ultimately predict the sensitivity of untested bacteria (including those of biodefense interest) to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In this study, we present an overview and analysis of the relevant 254 nm data previously reported and available in the literature. The amount of variability in this data prevented us from determining an "average" response for any bacterium. Therefore, we developed particular selection criteria to include the data in our analysis and suggested future guidelines for reporting UV sensitivity results. We then compiled a table of the sensitivity to 254 nm UV for 38 bacteria and three bacterial spores. The UV sensitivity was quite similar (within 10%) among the spores of Bacillus anthracis (strains Vollum 1B and Sterne), Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus megaterium. These data indicate that spores of B. subtilis and B. megaterium could be adequate simulants of B. anthracis spores in UVC experiments. Spores of B. anthracis, B. subtilis and B. megaterium were 5-10 times more resistant to UV than were their corresponding vegetative cells. The vegetative cells of B. anthracis showed similar UV sensitivity to those of Burkholderia pseudomallei, Shigella sonnei, and a wild-type strain of Escherichia coli. Yersinia enterocolitica and Vibrio cholerae appeared more sensitive to UV and Salmonella typhi slightly more resistant to UV than E. coli. The sensitivity (at 254 nm) of all vegetative bacteria ranged from 11 to 80 Jm(2) for a 1 Log(10) kill and from 25-200 Jm(2) for 4 Log(10) kill.     

Flow cytometric viability assessment and transmission electron microscopic morphological study of bacteria in glycerol.

Human cadaveric skin allografts are used in the treatment of burns and can be preserved in glycerol at high concentrations. Previously, glycerol has been attributed some antimicrobial effect. In an experimental set-up, we aimed at investigating this effect of prolonged incubation of bacteria in 85% glycerol. Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis were incubated in 85% glycerol. The influence of duration of incubation and temperature on ultrastructure and viability were investigated. Unstressed cultures served as controls. Survival was studied after 24-36 h and 10 days incubation in 85% glycerol at 4 degrees C and 36 degrees C with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and flow cytometry using viability stains indicating membrane damage (SYTO9, propidium iodide) or esterase activity (carboxyfluorescein diacetate). TEM clearly demonstrated variability in morphological changes of bacteria suggesting different mechanisms of damage. Viability stains supported these findings with faster declining viable cell populations in 85% glycerol at 36 degrees C compared with 4 degrees C. Both methods demonstrated that Gram-negative species were more susceptible than Gram-positive species. In conclusion, 85% glycerol may have some additional antimicrobial effect. Temperature is an important factor herein and Gram-negatives are most susceptible. The latter finding probably reflects the difference in cell wall composition between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
