    Bacterial Surface, Biofilm and Virulence Properties of Listeriamonocytogenes Strains Isolated From Smoked Salmon and Fish Food Contact Surfaces

    Biofilm formation is one of the defense mechanisms of bacteria against disinfectants and antimicrobials. The aim of this study was to determine biofilm-forming L.monocytogenes from fish processing and salmon surfaces. Biofilm formation at 15, 25, 37, and 40 degrees C from 1 to 6-days period, adhesion to glass, polypropylene and stainless-steel surfaces, bacterial surface charge and hydrophobicity was determined. Adhesion behavior of the strains was evaluated using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technique. Totally 32 L.monocytogenes strains belonging to serogroups IIa (n:17), IIc(n:14) and IVb(n:1) were detected from 1320 swabs and 16 smoked salmons. Biofilm formation tests revealed that 21 strains form biofilm on microplate by increasing time and temperature. Although all strains strongly formed biofilm on glass surfaces, two strains slightly adhered polypropylene surfaces. High surface roughness of stainless-steel FeCrNi alloy (Ra = 4.15 nm) and CoCrMo alloy (Ra = 10.75 nm) increased biofilm formation of L.monocytogenes on stainless-steel surfaces. Zeta potential results showed that non-biofilm formers were more negatively charged after 6-days and hydrophobicity couldn't give a distinct distribution among biofilm formers and non-formers. SPR analysis method was evaluated to distinguish biofilm formers to adhere SPR gold chip surfaces. PCR results revealed that all strains were positive for hylA, iap, actA, plcA, plcB, fri, flaA, inlA, inlB, inlC, inlJ, and lmo1386 genes. Additionally, all strains were susceptible to penicillin, ampicillin, meropenem, erythromycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Biofilm-forming, virulence properties of L. monocytogenes strains isolated from fish processing surfaces and smoked salmons were evaluated and SPR was used to differentiate biofilm formers as a sensitive technique for biofilm studies.

    Modification of Surface Charge Characteristics for Unsupported Nanostructured Titania-Zirconia Uf/Nf Membrane Top Layers With Calcination Temperature
    (Springer, 2020) Erdem, İlker; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    Ceramic membranes are more advantageous alternatives especially for harsh working conditions when compared with the polymeric membranes. The porous multilayer structure of the ceramic membranes (composed of support, intermediate, and top layers) can be prepared via different oxides. Titania and zirconia, having superior properties, are mainly preferred for the top layer formation. The separation properties of the membrane are both dependent on pore morphology and surface charge of the oxide(s) forming the top layer. The effect of surface charge in separation may be very significant in case of filtration of charged species with relatively lower mass as in the ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF). In this study, unsupported membrane top layers were prepared with varying titania/zirconia ratios by sol-gel technique. Their surface charges at different pH conditions after calcination at varying temperatures (400 degrees, 500 degrees, and 600 degrees C) were determined. The surface charge of the pure titania (full Ti) top layer was decreasing with the increasing calcination temperature. The highest magnitudes of zeta potential for both acidic and basic conditions were measured via Zr rich top layer (TiZr2575) at calcination temperatures >= 500 degrees C, which was composed of anatase, rutile (titania), and tetragonal (zirconia) phases after calcination. The tailor-made top layer can be prepared with modifications during membrane preparation.

    The Surface Charge of Unsupported Nano-Structured Titania Ceramic Membrane Top Layers With Varying Calcination Temperatures
    (University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy, 2019) Erdem, İlker; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    Titania is one of the most preferable ceramic membrane materials of superior durability (as zirconia) when compared to that of other ceramics, e.g. alumina or silica. The surface charge of the membrane top layer is an important parameter of the separation performance of the multilayer ceramic membrane due to the Donnan exclusion mechanisms. In this study, the change of the surface charge of unsupported nano-structured titania top layer is investigated with calcination temperature variation. The effect observed indicates the possibility of preparation of tailor-made top layers for multilayer ceramic membranes. © 2019, University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy.
