In this study, effect of different parameters, viz. concentration of photosensitizer (PS), pH of the bacterial cell suspension and initial cell count, on photo-inactivation of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus hirae bacteria using methylene blue (MB) and sodium anthraquinone-2-sulphonate (SAQS) was investigated employing the statistically valid full factorial design of experiments. The inactivation efficiency of E. hirae using MB ranges between 10.81 and 48.55 %, whereas in the case of E. coli it ranges between 10.41 and 46.44 %. Using SAQS, the inactivation efficiency of E. hirae was within 5.26-39.03 %, and in the case of E. coli it varied in the range 4.65-37.66 %. Statistical analysis of the photo-inactivation results in the form of analysis of variance (ANOVA) and student 't' test revealed significant individual effect of these process parameters. In addition, an increase in dark incubation period with MB or SAQS resulted in enhanced photo-inactivation efficiency against both the microorganisms. Reactive oxygen species measurement and analysis of lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl index helped in a better understanding of the photo-inactivation mechanism.

Pathogens in natural water can pose great threat to public health and challenge water quality. In sunlit surface water, dissolved organic matters (DOMs) can inactivate pathogens due to their photochemical activity. However, the photoreactivity of autochthonous DOM derived from different source and their interaction with nitrate on photo-inactivation remained limited understood.

Herein, the photodynamic activity of phthalocyanine (pc)-assembled nanoparticles against bacterial strains is demonstrated. The photosensitizers (PS) studied in this work are two chiral Zn Pcs (PS-1 and PS-2), with an AABB geometry (where A and B refer to differently substituted isoindole constituents). They contain differently functionalized, chiral binaphthyloxy-linked A isoindole units, which determine the hydrophobicity of the system, and cationic methyl pyridinium moieties in the other two isoindoles to embody hydrophilicity.

The transmission of antibiotic resistance in surface water has attracted much attention due to its increasing threat to human health. The role of sunlight irradiation and the effect of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on the transmission of antibiotic resistance are still unclear. In this study, photo-inactivation of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) was investigated using antibiotic resistant E.

This research aims to compare the disinfection and degradation effectiveness in water of a commercial suspension of nano-TiO (TiOLevenger) with the standard TiODegussa P25. Photo-inactivation and photo-degradation experiments were conducted with UVA-vis light. Concerning the disinfection, the effects of TiO dose (0-2 g/l), water matrix, bacterium type (Gram-positive or Gram-negative), and bacterial regrowth after the photo-treatments were studied for each catalyst.
