The diffusion of the anti-microbial chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) has been studied in C. albicans biofilms by time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). C. albicans has been shown to become resistant to common anti-microbial agents, including CHG, when growing as a biofilm. Mass transport resistance within biofilms has commonly been suggested as a resistance mechanism, but measurement of transport for most anti-microbial agents in biofilms has proven extremely difficult because of the heterogeneity of the biofilms and the difficulty in detecting these agents within an intact biofilm. In this study, TOF-SIMS has been used to study the transport of CHG and glucose in a frozen hydrated biofilm. The TOF-SIMS images reveal a progression of CHG from the top of the biofilm to its base with time. Images suggest that there are channels within the biofilm and show preferential binding of CHG to cellular components of the biofilm. Additionally, both living and dead cells can be identified in the TOF-SIMS images by the sequestration of K+ and the presence of cell markers. This study demonstrates that TOF-SIMS has the unique potential to simultaneously observe the presence of an antimicrobial agent, concentration of nutrients, and the viability of the cell population. 相似文献

The effect of bacterial and fungal activities on organic matter degradation in Brazilian soils was studied by a microcalorimetric method. Bacteria and fungi isolated from tropical soils and added to: Rhodic eutrudox (R), Typic eutrudox (V) and Quartzipsamment (Q) soils amended separately with moisture (control) (A) and 25% of cattle manure (E), municipal refuse compost (L), earthworm casts (H) or 23 μg of trifluralin (T) were investigated. The number of colony forming units in soil suspension was quantified by microscopy and inoculated in respective soil. All processes were measured at intervals of 7 days over a period of 35 days. The exothermic thermal effect (μJ) per cm3 of bacteria or fungi per gram of dry soil, respectively, for each substrate was: [(9±1), (4±1)] RA; [(478±24), (105±5)] RE; [(121±6), (71±4)] RL; [(121±6), (71±4)] RH; [(8±1); (3±1)] RT; [(10±1), (9±1] VA; [(347±17), (261±13)] VE; [(71±4), (28±1)] VL; [(22±1), (33±2)] VH; [(7±1), (10±1)] VT; [(19±1), (12±1)] QA; [(1301±65), (46±2)] QE; [(89±4), (9±1)] QL; [(130±7), (11±1)] QH; [(32±2), (8±1)] QT. The calorimetric values are higher for bacteria than for fungi. In general, the results showed higher activities in the soil amended with cattle manure than with other additives. 相似文献

Investigation of the cultured mycelia of Cordyceps ophioglossoides resulted in the isolation and characterization of three new unusual spiro[4.5]decane sesquiterpenes, cordycepol A ( 1 ), cordycepol B ( 2 ), and cordycepol C ( 3 ), and a new fumagillol analogue, cordycol ( 4 ). Their structures were established by spectroscopic means. The cytotoxic activities were also evaluated, compounds 3 and 4 showing their IC50 values in the range of 12–33 μg/ml against HeLa and HepG2 (Table 3). In addition, 3 and 4 were not obviously harmful towards normal liver cell lines LO2, showing IC50 values above 80 μg/ml. 相似文献

Phthalocyanine (Pc) dyes are photoactive compounds that can absorb and emit light in a large range of the UV–vis spectrum, with recognized potential for medical applications. Considering the low solubility of Pc macrocycles in water, it is important to use cationic symptoms on their skeleton to improve their amphiphilicity for biomedical applications. The use of suitable pyridinium groups on Pc is a good strategy to solve this drawback and make them more eff ;ective to photoinactivate microorganisms via a photodynamic inactivation (PDI) approach. This review focuses the synthesis of quaternized Pc dyes, their photophysical and photochemical properties, and their antimicrobial photoinactivation efficiency. This innovative study compares, for the first time, different cationic moieties on Pc taking into account the efficiency of singlet oxygen (1O2), quantum yield (ΦΔ) generation, fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF), (photo)stability, light irradiation type (visible/white and/or red light), maximized overlapped absorption effect of Pc (S- and/or Q-band) vs light system irradiation type, and water solubility (n-octanol/water partition coefficient, Po/w), when these parameters are determined and provided in the multidisciplinary reports. This approach is also relevant to conjugate free-base (H2Pc) and metalated phthalocyanines (MPc, M = Zn2+, Mg2+, In3+, Ga3+, Ge3+, Si4+, etc.) with aromatic or aliphatic substituents linked by N, O or S atoms on the peripheral or axial positions of the Pc structures, such as e.g. (methoxy, oxy, or thio)pyridinium, ammonium, or benzimidazolium units, etc. Here, the influence of the structural peripheral (α- and/or β-position of Pc) or axial substituents type, number and positive charge position that can affect the PDI process will be analysed. These aspects are important to design versatile molecules that can interact with pathogenic microorganisms of variable size, subcellular architecture, biochemical composition, and susceptibility to externally added chemical agents. This review highlights the important developments of several modifications of cationic Pc dyes for the PDI of microorganisms, such as pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and virus. 相似文献

Dependence of fungal biodegradation of PEG/castor oil-based polyurethane elastomers on the hard-segment structure 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In the context of protecting of the environment, this work studies the biodegradation of PEG-based polyurethane elastomer films in the presence of the soft rot fungus Chaetomium globosum, determined via the Petri-dish test. Using PEG with high-molecular weight (MW = 1500) as a chain extender led to polyurethane elastomers with lower physical crosslink density and higher swelling rates. The structural modifications in the hard-segment area (CO and N-H peaks) are considerable and were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. Biodegradation lowers the final mechanical properties, but increases yield points, especially in the case of polyurethane elastomers crosslinked with castor oil. Polyurethane elastomer samples showed visible degradation proved by the mechanical weakening of the films. Thus, breaking strains decrease from 670-1180% to 500-680% and tensile strengths decreased from 11.5-27.5 MPa to 4-11.5 MPa after 130 days of fungal biodegradation. The changes in the morphology of the polyurethane films surface were analyzed by SEM and have been found to exhibit increasing porous structure and fungal hyphae. The effects of the hard-segment composition of the polyurethane elastomers on the fungal biodegradation behaviour were investigated. 相似文献

In this paper, a non linear mathematical model for removing an organic pollutant such as a dye from a water body is proposed and analyzed. In the modeling process four variables are considered, namely, (i) the concentration of the dye, (ii) the density of fungus population, (iii) the concentration of a nutrient and (iv) the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO). It is assumed that an organic pollutant is present in water with given concentration or discharged with a constant rate in water. It is assumed further that fungus population is kept alive and active due to supply of a nutrient. It is considered that nutrient and oxygen are supplied to the water body from outside with constant rates. The model is analyzed by using the stability theory of differential equations. The model analysis shows that organic pollutant can be removed from the water body by fungus population and the level of degradation depends upon the concentration of organic pollutant, the density of fungal population and the interaction processes involved.The simulation analysis of the proposed model confirms the analytical results. It is also found that these results are qualitatively in line with the experimental observations of one of the authors (Sanghi). 相似文献
