Coli Bacteria Growth: Effect of Preparation and Chloride Ion on Bactericidal Activity(Springer Verlag, 2011) Tuncer, Mert; Şeker, ErolWe report the antibacterial efficacies of silver and/or silver chloride containing titania xerogels synthesized with modified single step sol-gel methods against Escherichia coli bacteria. As the silver loading in TiO 2 increases, the amount of the xerogel required to inhibit the growth of the bacteria decreases and also we found that pure TiO2 was not bactericidal. Among modified single step sol-gel methods used in this study, the additional HCl treatment sol-gel route III was very effective to obtain only AgCl crystallites in TiO2. Based on viable cell count method, 0.125 g/L of 29%Ag/TiO2 (made with HNO3 sol-gel route I) was enough to inhibit the growth of E. coli whereas 0.6 g/L of 29%Ag/TiO2 (made with the additional HCl treatment sol-gel route III) was required. However, antibacterial activity of 29%Ag/TiO2 (made with HNO 3 sol-gel route I) after 6 usages was the same as 29%Ag/TiO 2 (made with the additional HCl treatment sol-gel route III).Article Citation - WoS: 249Citation - Scopus: 268Silver, Zinc, and Copper Exchange in a Na-Clinoptilolite and Resulting Effect on Antibacterial Activity(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Top, Ayben; Ülkü, SemraAg+-Na+, Zn2+-Na+, and Cu2+-Na+ equilibria for clinoptilolite-rich mineral from Gördes (Western Anatolia) were investigated at 25 °C and 0.1 N total solution normality. While silver exchange was favorable over the whole concentration range, zinc and copper were partially exchanged and preferred only at low concentrations. The standard free energies of exchanges for Ag+-Na+, Zn2+-Na+, and Cu2+-Na+ pairs were found as -6.0, 2.03, and 3.09 kJ/equiv., respectively. From these values, selectivity sequence was determined as Ag+>Na+ >Zn2+>Cu2+. Antibacterial activities of the exchanged samples were measured as a function of exchange level against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Considering the selectivity sequence of the clinoptilolite and antibacterial activity results, Ag-clinoptilolite seemed to be promising antibacterial material.
