Combined ozone and ultraviolet inactivation of Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The kinetics of Escherichia coli inactivation using ozone and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, separately and simultaneously, was evaluated at 25 degrees C in buffered (pH 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0), demand-free media. While ozone was found to be a stronger disinfectant than UV radiation, using both simultaneously was more effective than using them individually. Inactivation kinetics was pseudo first-order for the three treatment processes, while the disinfection rate was a linear function of the disinfectant dose. The synergism observed in microbial inactivation when the disinfectant processes were combined was illustrated by estimates of kinetic model parameters. This synergy was attributed to the generation of hydroxyl radicals via ozone photolysis. Subsequently, dosage calculations, as based on disinfectant level and exposure time, indicated that the simultaneous use of UV and ozone could substantially reduce their individual doses.

Characterization of mucoid mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 isolated after exposure to ozone.
Seventy mucoid mutants retaining the phenotypic properties of the ultraviolet-induced lon strains of Escherichia coli K-12 were isolated after treatment of strain MQ259 (lon+) with ozone. They produce mucoid colonies at 37 C on minimal agar, are abnormally sensitive to radiation, and tend to grow in long aseptate filaments after irradiation with ultraviolet light. Results indicate also that ozo...

متن کاملInactivation of Escherichia coli by ozone treatment of apple juice at different pH levels.
This research investigated the efficacy of gaseous ozone on the inactivation of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and NCTC 12900 strains in apple juice of a range of pH levels, using an ozone bubble column. The pH levels investigated were 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0. Apple juice inoculated with E. coli strains (10(6)CFU/mL) was treated with ozone gas at a flow rate of 0.12L/min and ozone concentration...
