Effects of conservation buffer systems on adsorption of fluorescent-labeled Escherichia coli.

The magnitude of bacterial transport through runoff into surface water or infiltration into groundwater is influenced by the adsorption processes in soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate fluorescent-labeled Escherichia coli (E. coli) adsorption by soil under agroforestry buffer (AB), grass buffer (GB), and row crop (RC) management.

A Review of SARS-CoV-2 Disease (COVID-19): Pandemic in Our Time.

Development and deployment of biosensors for the rapid detection of the 2019 novel severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are of utmost importance and urgency during this recent outbreak of coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, which spread rapidly around the world. Cases now confirmed in February 2022 indicate that more than 170 countries worldwide are affected. Recent evidence indicates over 430 million confirmed cases with over 5.

Nanoparticle immuno-fluorescent probes as a method for detection of viable E. coli O157:H7.

Development of revolutionary sensitive biosensors for detecting the presence of harmful biological species in the environment is a necessity for countering disease outbreaks. This work examined the interaction of fluorescence-labeled antibody on amine functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNP) as a model system. The synthesized tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) labeled antibody-amine functionalized GNP interaction was characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and Fluorescent Microscopy imaging.
