UV irradiation and chlorination have been widely used for water disinfection. However, there are some limitations, such as the risk of generating viable but nonculturable bacteria reactivation when using or alone. This study comprehensively evaluated feasibility UV/chlorine process in drinking disinfection, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was selected target microorganism. The number culturable cells effectively reduced by more than 5 orders magnitude (5-log10) after UV, chlorine, treatments. intact...
The occurrence of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria will result in significant underestimation bacterial counts drinking water. Whereas, much is unknown characterizing their viability. In this study, two environmental isolates (Aeromonas sp. and Pseudomonas sp.) model strains (E. coli S. aureus) were induced into VBNC state by UV irradiation. Then, metabolic activity was determined 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride combination flow cytometry (CTC-FCM) D2O-labeled Raman...
Biofilter, an essential water treatment process, is reported to be the harbor of bacterial antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Due oligotrophic characteristic source water, filter biofilm largely influenced by concentration organic carbon. The objective this study was investigate effect carbon on shaping resistome in biofilm. Our based pilot-scale sand filters, and we investigated using high-throughput qPCR. A total 180 from eight categories antibiotics were detected 15 samples three...
A viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state of bacteria induced by disinfection in water treatment poses serious health risks because possible resuscitation VBNC cells during transportation. In this study, a setup using continuous-flow ultraviolet (UVC) irradiation ranging from 0 to 172.2 mJ·cm-2 was designed simulate real-world both drinking (SDW) and reclaimed (SRW) plants. systematic investigation UVC-induced bacteria, including occurrence, resuscitation, time-dependent recovery metabolic...
The identification and quantification of viable bacteria at the species/strain level in compound probiotic products is challenging now. Molecular biology methods, e.g., propidium monoazide (PMA) combination with qPCR, have gained prominence for targeted cell counts. This study endeavors to establish a robust PMA-qPCR method Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus detection systematically validated key metrics encompassing relative trueness, accuracy, limit quantification, linear, range. inclusivity...
Streptococcus thermophilus is widely used as a starter culture in the production of cheese, yoghurt and various cultured dairy products, which holds considerable significance both research practical applications within food industry. Throughout history, taxonomy S. has undergone several adjustments revisions. In 1984, based on result DNA–DNA hybridization, was reclassified salivarius subsp. . Subsequently, 1991, Schleifer et al proposed revival species also relying hybridization study...
The effectiveness of probiotic products hinges on the viability and precise quantification strains. This study addresses this crucial requirement by developing validating a propidium monoazide combination with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PMA-qPCR) method for quantifying viable
Microbial contamination during fuel storage can cause system fouling and corrosion. Characterizing microbial is critical for preventing solving these problems. In this study, culture-based combing with the culture-independent methods, were used to profile in aviation fuel. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) modified by propidium monoazide (PMA) revealed a higher diversity of contaminating microorganisms samples than culture method. Proteobacteria (47%), Actinobacteria (21%) Ascomycota (>99%,...
The health benefits conferred by probiotics is specific to individual probiotic strains, highlighting the importance of identifying strains for research and production purposes. Streptococcus thermophilus CICC 6038 Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus 6047 are exceedingly valuable commercial use with an excellent mixed-culture fermentation. To differentiate these 2 from other S. L. bulgaricus, a specific, sensitive, accurate, rapid, convenient, cost-effective method required. In this...
Abstract People in remote areas are still drinking surface water that may contain certain pollutants including harmful microorganisms and chemical compounds directly without any pretreatment. In this study, we have designed operated a pilot-scale treatment unit as part of our aim to find an economic easily operable technology for providing people those areas. Our small-scale contains filtration disinfection (UV–C irradiation) stages remove from source water. The quality index was determined...
Abstract The generation and dissemination of antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) genes (ARGs) in the environment has become a critical risk to human health. This study is based on pilot-scale simulated water distribution system understand effects chlorine disinfection treatment (without free chlorine) ARB ARGs biofilms. hydraulic parameters pipe materials were drinking system. results colony counts showed that bacterial multi-antibiotic could be enhanced 13-fold biofilms pipeline. use...
AbstractThe omnipresence of microplastics (MPs) in potable water has become a major concern due to their potential disruptive effect on human health. Therefore, the effective removal MPs drinking is essential for life preservation. In this study, tap containing microplastic < 10 µm size was treated using constructed pilot-scale rapid sand filtration (RSF) system investigate efficiency and mechanisms involved. The results show that RSF provides significant capacity immobilization μm diameter...
