Bactericidal Action of Ultraviolet Radiation on Air-Borne Organisms.
In the study of the bactericidal action of ultraviolet radiation on air-borne organisms, it is difficult to determine the number of bacteria per unit volume floating in the air and to measure the lethal radiation to which the organisms were exposed. In studying this action, Fair and Wells (1935) atomized a water suspension of Escherichia coli into a room and measured the normal rate at which th...
متن کاملThe Action of Ultraviolet Radiation on Yeast Catalase
The effect of prolonged UV irradiation (mostly 2537 A) on the catalase activity of an aqueous yeast suspension was divisible into 4 periods. First, the period during which the cells lost their ability to form colonies, but during which no change in catalase activity was noted. Second, the period during which a considerable rise in catalase activity (Euler effect) occurred. The Euler effect was ...
متن کاملBactericidal action of Alpinia galanga essential oil on food-borne bacteria.
The use of natural antimicrobial agents is garnering attention due to consumer and producer awareness of health problems. This study found that the essential oil of A. galanga had strong bactericidal activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The bactericidal action of A. galanga oil was extremely rapid. Results of scanning electron microscopy observations suggested that A....
متن کاملThe Bactericidal Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation on Escherichia Coli in Liquid Suspensions
1. The irradiation of bacteria in liquid suspension has been made possible through: (a) the use of a specially balanced physiological salt solution which is practically non-absorbing for the wave lengths used, and which is of such composition that subsequent dilution of the bacterial suspension gives the proper number of organisms; (b) special design of the exposure cell and a very thorough met...
متن کاملUltraviolet bactericidal irradiation of ice.
We investigated the germicidal activity of 2,537 A ultraviolet (UV) radiation on bacteria in ice cubes of varying thickness and in aqueous suspensions beneath an ice layer. The test bacteria used were Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus subtilis, and Sarcina lutea; aqueous suspensions of the selected organisms were frozen into ice cubes, 2 mm to 30 mm thick, at -20 C. The cubes were...
