Chemical Agents for Microbial Control

1.4K
Chemicals play important roles in controlling microbial growth by targeting microbial structures and functions as sanitizers, antiseptics, disinfectants, and sterilants.Alcohols are commonly used sanitizers, effectively disrupting lipid membranes, which compromises cell integrity. They are also used as antiseptics and disinfectants due to their rapid action and versatility.Phenols and their derivatives phenolics , known for denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes, are particularly...

Maintaining optimal conditions within fermenters is essential for maximizing microbial productivity and ensuring process efficiency. This lesson focuses on key parameters—temperature, foam, pH, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and pressure—and their precise measurement and control strategies in fermentation systems.Temperature ControlTemperature regulation is critical due to the exothermic nature of many fermentation processes. In small laboratory fermenters, temperature is commonly...

Effects of Chemicals: Overview

2.4K
Drugs, encompassing various chemical compounds from natural sources, lab synthesis, or genetic engineering, elicit different biological responses in living organisms. Some of these responses are desirable or therapeutic, while others are undesirable. The primary goal of administering a drug is to achieve a therapeutic effect, that is, to address a specific disease or health condition. Any concurrent effects outside of this therapeutic outcome are considered undesirable. These undesirable...

Biopesticides offer a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides, utilizing microbial agents to control agricultural pests. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a widely employed bacterium known for its potent insecticidal activity. Bt biopesticides are favored for their specificity to insect pests, minimal environmental impact, and natural degradability.Mechanism of Bt Toxin Action Bt produces insecticidal crystal (Cry) proteins during its sporulation phase. These proteins form parasporal...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Chemical gardens, formed by metal salt dissolution in silicate solutions, are models of self-organization.
  • Conventional methods lack pressure analysis and reproducibility.
  • Previous studies used osmotic pumps, limiting experimental control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel experimental method for controlled hydrostatic pressure delivery in chemical garden formation.
  • To investigate the effect of controlled pressure on precipitate tube growth dynamics.
  • To identify and characterize new growth regimes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a controlled hydrostatic pressure system to deliver zinc sulfate solution into a silicate-containing vessel.
  • Varied pressure conditions, including decreasing pressure and constant solution heights.
  • Observed and analyzed precipitate tube morphology and growth patterns using microscopy and fluid dynamics principles.

Main Results:

  • Identified three known growth regimes (jetting, popping, budding) and a new "crowding" regime.
  • Observed horizontally undulating, vertically layered tube growth in the crowding regime.
  • Characterized the dried product as a low-density, cylindrical structure with continuous top-to-bottom connection.
  • Validated flow characteristics with the reaction-independent Hagen-Poiseuille equation.

Conclusions:

  • Controlled hydrostatic pressure significantly improves reproducibility and allows for new growth pattern discovery.
  • The "crowding" regime offers a unique method for creating structured, low-density materials.
  • The Hagen-Poiseuille equation accurately describes the fluid dynamics, independent of chemical reactions.
