Photoreactivation of Pseudomonas cepacia after ultraviolet exposure: a potential source of contamination in ultraviolet-treated waters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cells of a naturally occurring strain of Pseudomonas cepacia grown in distilled water were exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Irradiated samples incubated on membrane filters or in fluid recovery media in the absence of light showed no evidence of dark repair mechanisms. When samples were exposed to fluorescent light ranging from 50 to 950 foot candles (538 to 10,222 lux) of illumination, apparent photo-induced repair of ultraviolet injury resulted in 1- to 4-log increases in viable cells recovered.

متن کاملSurvey of Nitrate Removal Method from Aqueous Solutions Using Titanium Dioxide Nano-Photocatalyst
Background & objectives: Because of its very high solubility, nitrate penetrates easily into soil and underground waters. Surface waters such as lakes, reservoirs, and rivers are exposed to nitrate pollution. Photocatalytic processes have a high potential for nitrate removal due to complete oxidation, lack of formation of multi-cycle metabolites and the availability of catalysts. The purpose of...

متن کاملPhotoreactivation of Ultraviolet-irradiated Escherichia Coli, with Special Reference to the Dose-reduction Principle and to Ultraviolet-induced Mutation.
A sufficient dose of ultraviolet light (2,0537 A) inactivates most microorganisms. Exposure of inactivated cells to suitable visible light results in the recovery of a large portion of the cells from their otherwise fatal ultraviolet-induced injury. The discovery of light-induced recovery (Kelner, 1949) and its confirmation for bacteriophage by Dulbecco (1949) gives us fresh hope for solving th...
