However, the sterilization characters of high power integrated light sources(ILSs) haven’t been widely investigated before utilizing in public sanitary security. In this work,by integrating up to 195 UVC-LED chips, high power UVC-LED ILSs with a light output power(LOP) of 1.88 W were demonstrated. The UVC-LED ILSs were verified to have efficient and rapid sterilization capability, which have achieved more than99.9% inactivation rate of several common pathogenic microorganisms within 1 s. In addition, the corresponding air sterilization module based on them was also demonstrated to kill more than 97% of Staphylococcus albus in the air of 20 m3 confined room within 30 min. This work demonstrates excellent sterilization ability of UVC-LED ILSs with high LOP, revealing great potential of UVC-LEDs in sterilization applications in the future.展开更多

In this study, the fermentation properties of Streptococcus thermophilus, alone and in combination with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, were evaluated in skim milk that had been subjected to distinct sterilization conditions. Growth, organic acid generation, and EPS production were determined using pasteurized or autoclaved milk. When S. thermophilus was cultivated in pasteurized skim milk, the growth was strain-dependent. On the other hand, growth of S. thermophilus was accelerated in autoclaved milk. Exocellular polysaccharide (EPS) production by L. bulgaricus was not affected by the combination of S. thermophilus strains. Thus, we observed that yogurt fermented by L. bulgaricus was minimally affected by the combination of S. thermophilus strains;growth of L. bulgaricus was maintained under the constant environment. These results should facilitate the development of fermented milk produced from L. bulgaricus in the dairy industry.展开更多

The results showed that the steam sterilization darkened the color of silk fibroin and obviously affected the mechanical property;gamma irradiation slightly degraded the molecular weight of silk fibroin and the speed of degradation increased with increasing irradiation dose;and ethylene oxide almost had no influence on silk fibroin expect for some slight hydrolysis on mo-lecular weight. Because ethylene oxide sterilization had the smallest influence on the quality of silk fi-broin with compared to other sterilization methods, it could be used as an efficient method to make fibroin more suitable for the development of functional foods and cosmetics.展开更多

In this research, repeated plant tissue culture studies were conducted with sterilizers specific to safflower seed, which will increase production efficiency but do not cause genetic polymorphism and corrosion in endosperm with 3N chromosomes. Corrosives were used by dilution, and this did not damage the 3N chromosome endosperm, targeting the protein walls of microorganisms on the seed surface without eroding the seed surface, thereby providing biological sterilization. Besides, because it does not contain heavy metals, it did not cause polymorphism, that is, a mutation in the genetic sequence of the seed. Moreover, the environment and the equipment were sterilized with 2 - 3 repetitions, sterilizer treatment, planting, and germination operations were performed in a sterile environment this, in turn, allowed an isolated assessment of the yield of solution G.展开更多

Well disinfection is used to inactivate or control bacteria populations in a well and the distribution system. Disinfection is the inactivation or destruction of pathogenic organisms through the disruption of the organisms’ normal life processes. The objective of this work is to clean and/or disinfect entire borehole to prepare wells for pump installation. The last water sample was collected after the well disinfec-tion on that time. The results of water chemical analysis are presented in Tables 2-4, and there was nothing found against the specification requirements. After a reaction time of approximately 12 h, the well was cleaned from the sterilization solution by airlifting until chlorine concentration in the water reached 0 mg/l. Then through analyzing the test for samples of water after disinfection and sterilization the wells showed the Iron Bacteria were not seen and the Bacteria Species/Anaerobic Bacteria were absent.展开更多

Conventional polyamide 6 was used as a reference material in order to emphasize prospects of using bimodal material for medical applications from the point of view of sterilization resistance and improved creep behavior. Time-dependent mechanical properties of testing samples were characterized by torsional creep measurements in non-sterilized state and after sterilization with three different techniques: with autoclave, ethylene oxide, and hydrogen peroxide plasma. Results show that the two materials exhibit pronounced difference in morphology and consequently, mechanical properties. Both of them were not significantly affected by any of used sterilization techniques. However, bimodal material, originally being noticeably more time-stable in comparison to monomodal one, retains these preferences also post sterilization.展开更多

文摘[Objectives]This study was conducted to obtain the best solution for sterilizing tall fescue(Festuca arundinacea)and ryegrass(Lolium perenne)seeds by heating in a water bath for a short time.[Methods]The tall fescue and ryegrass seeds infected with endophytic fungi were sterilized by heating in a water bath to compare seed germination and initial growth of turfgrass seedlings under different treatment time.[Results]Sterilization in a 60℃water bath for 20 and 30 min both inhibited the germination of tall fescue and ryegrass seeds,while the 20 min treatment did not significantly affect the lengths of stems,leaves and roots of seedlings.The 20 min water bath sterilization treatment had no effects on the plant heights and biomass of the two turfgrass seedlings and the tiller number of ryegrass,but sterilization for 30 min significantly reduced the aboveground and total biomass of seedlings and the tiller number of ryegrass.[Conclusions]Sterilization in a water bath at 60℃ for 20 min achieved rapid sterilization in a short time,without significantly negatively affecting the growth of seedlings.
文摘The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the molecular structure and physiological activities of silk fibroin induced by three different sterilization methods (steam, gamma radiation and ethylene oxide) with different dose or time period of sterilization by means of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spec-troscopy, X-ray diffraction, mechanical properties and assessment of molecular weight. The results showed that the steam sterilization darkened the color of silk fibroin and obviously affected the mechanical property;gamma irradiation slightly degraded the molecular weight of silk fibroin and the speed of degradation increased with increasing irradiation dose;and ethylene oxide almost had no influence on silk fibroin expect for some slight hydrolysis on mo-lecular weight. Because ethylene oxide sterilization had the smallest influence on the quality of silk fi-broin with compared to other sterilization methods, it could be used as an efficient method to make fibroin more suitable for the development of functional foods and cosmetics.
文摘Plant tissue culture studies are one of the pretreatments carried out to increase crop yield by preventing germination in plant seeds. In this research, repeated plant tissue culture studies were conducted with sterilizers specific to safflower seed, which will increase production efficiency but do not cause genetic polymorphism and corrosion in endosperm with 3N chromosomes. Corrosives were used by dilution, and this did not damage the 3N chromosome endosperm, targeting the protein walls of microorganisms on the seed surface without eroding the seed surface, thereby providing biological sterilization. Besides, because it does not contain heavy metals, it did not cause polymorphism, that is, a mutation in the genetic sequence of the seed. Moreover, the environment and the equipment were sterilized with 2 - 3 repetitions, sterilizer treatment, planting, and germination operations were performed in a sterile environment this, in turn, allowed an isolated assessment of the yield of solution G.
文摘Disinfection is an important step in ensuring that water is safe to drink. Well disinfection is used to inactivate or control bacteria populations in a well and the distribution system. Disinfection is the inactivation or destruction of pathogenic organisms through the disruption of the organisms’ normal life processes. The objective of this work is to clean and/or disinfect entire borehole to prepare wells for pump installation. The last water sample was collected after the well disinfec-tion on that time. The results of water chemical analysis are presented in Tables 2-4, and there was nothing found against the specification requirements. After a reaction time of approximately 12 h, the well was cleaned from the sterilization solution by airlifting until chlorine concentration in the water reached 0 mg/l. Then through analyzing the test for samples of water after disinfection and sterilization the wells showed the Iron Bacteria were not seen and the Bacteria Species/Anaerobic Bacteria were absent.
文摘For this investigation conventional polyamide 6 with monomodal molecular mass distribution, and the newly developed bimodal one were used. Conventional polyamide 6 was used as a reference material in order to emphasize prospects of using bimodal material for medical applications from the point of view of sterilization resistance and improved creep behavior. Time-dependent mechanical properties of testing samples were characterized by torsional creep measurements in non-sterilized state and after sterilization with three different techniques: with autoclave, ethylene oxide, and hydrogen peroxide plasma. Results show that the two materials exhibit pronounced difference in morphology and consequently, mechanical properties. Both of them were not significantly affected by any of used sterilization techniques. However, bimodal material, originally being noticeably more time-stable in comparison to monomodal one, retains these preferences also post sterilization.
