Understanding the interaction between microorganisms and fluid dynamics is important for aquatic ecosystems, though only sporadic attention has been focused on this topic in the past. In this study, particular attention was paid to the phenol-degrading bacterial strains Microbacterium oxydans LY1 and Alcaligenes faecalis LY2 subjected to controlled fluid flow under laboratory conditions. These two strains were found to be able to degrade phenols over a concentration range from 50 to 500 mg/L under different turbulence conditions ranging from 0 to 250 rpm. The time it took to reach total phenol degradation decreased when the turbulence was increased in both strains, with increasing energy dissipation rates ranging from 0.110 to 6.241 W/kg, corresponding to changes in the bacterial diffusive sublayer thickness (δ) and enhanced oxygen uptake. Moreover, the maximum specific growth rates of the two strains also increased with the enhancement of turbulence. A model integrating growth inhibition and fluid motion was proposed based on the self-inhibition Haldane model by introducing a turbulence parameter, α. The resulting modified Haldane model was designed to include fluid motion as a variable in the quantification of the physiological responses of microorganisms. This modified Haldane model could be considered a useful laboratory reference when modeling procedures for water environment bioremediation.

A rapid and sensitive indirect competitive fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (cFLISA) method based on quantum dots as the fluorescence label coupled with secondary antibody (Ab2) for the detection of chlorpyrifos in drinking water has been developed. The cFLISA method allowed for chlorpyrifos determination in a liner working range of 15.2–205.5 ng mL?1. The 50 % inhibition value (IC50) and the limit of detection (LOD) of the cFLISA were 50.2 ng mL?1 and 8.4 ng mL?1, while the IC50 and the LOD of the conventhional enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were 95.3 ng- mL?1 and 16.2 ng mL?1, respectively. When the concentrations of chlorpyrifos were 200, 100 and 50 ng mL?1, the recoveries ranged from 90.8 % to 108.2 % with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 7.5 %–15.2 %. In water sample analysis, the results of cFLISA were similar to those obtained from a cELISA and a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, while the detection time by cFLISA was reduced 0.5 h compared with ELISA. It showed that cFLISA could be used as a new screening method for the detection of pesticide residue. 相似文献
Abstract The photocatalytic oxidation of propoxur, a nitrogen‐containing pesticide, has been investigated using aqueous TiO2 suspensions as catalyst in this study. The operating variables considered in the study were initial pH, temperature, [H2O2] and TiO2 loading. Results showed that 1 g/l of TiO2 was the optimum dosage for oxidizing propoxur in this system. Hydrogen peroxide can increase the oxidation rate with increasing its initial concentration. There was no obvious difference in the rate of propoxur oxidation at the initial pH of 4, 6 and 9, and the final pHs of reaction solutions were around 5.5. However, propoxur degraded slower at initial pH 2, and the pH did not vary during the period of photocatalytic reaction. The photocatalytic oxidation of propoxur using TiO2 suspensions as the photocatalyst was reaction‐controlled as indicated by the activation energy. 相似文献
