Influence of Amino Acid Substitutions in Capsid Proteins of Coxsackievirus B5 on Free Chlorine and Thermal Inactivation
Tamar Kohn, Aleksandar Antanasijevic, Kiruthika Kumar, Shotaro Torii
The sensitivity of enteroviruses to disinfectants varies among genetically similar variants and coincides with amino acid changes in capsid proteins, although the effect of individual substitutions remains unknown. Here, we employed reverse genetics to inv ...
2024The Mn(VII)-H2O2 oxidation process: Abatement of electron-deficient N-containing organic compounds
Chemical oxidants applied in water treatment are electrophiles, which preferentially attack sites with higher electron density. This typically results in less efficient oxidative abatement of organic compounds with electronwithdrawing substituents. In this ...
Lausanne2024Observed Kinetics of Enterovirus Inactivation by Disinfectants Differ among the Host Cells Used for Enumeration
Tamar Kohn, Shannon Christa David, Shotaro Torii, Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé, Federica Cariti
The virus inactivation efficacy of disinfectants is typically assessed by infectivity assay utilizing a single type of host cell. Enteroviruses infect multiple host cells via different entry routes, and each entry route may be impaired differently by a giv ...
2023Observed Kinetics of Enterovirus Inactivation by Free Chlorine Are Host Cell-Dependent
Tamar Kohn, Shannon Christa David, Shotaro Torii, Federica Cariti
Virucidal efficacies of disinfectants are typically assessed by infectivity assay utilizing a single type of host cell. Enteroviruses infect multiple host cells via various entry routes, and each entry route may be impaired differently by a given disinfect ...
2023Inactivation of coxsackievirus B5 by free chlorine under conditions relevant to drinking water treatment
Chlorine disinfection is commonly applied to inactivate pathogenic viruses in drinking water treatment plants. However, the role of water quality in chlorine disinfection of viruses has not been investigated thoughtfully. In this study, we investigated the ...
IWA PUBLISHING2023Size dependence of second-harmonic scattering from nanoparticles: Disentangling surface and electrostatic contributions
Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Bingxin Chu
Polarimetric angle-resolved second-harmonic scattering (AR-SHS) is an all-optical tool enabling the study of unlabeled interfaces of nano-sized particles in an aqueous solution. As the second harmonic signal is modulated by interference between nonlinear c ...
AIP Publishing2023Anionic character of the conduction band of sodium chloride
The alkali halides are ionic compounds. Each alkali atom donates an electron to a halogen atom, leading to ions with full shells. The valence band is mainly located on halogen atoms, while, in a traditional picture, the conduction band is mainly located on ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Reactions of alpha,beta-Unsaturated Carbonyls with Free Chlorine, Free Bromine, and Combined Chlorine
Chemical disinfectants employed in water and wastewater treatment can produce a variety of transformation products, including carbonyl compounds (e.g., saturated and unsaturated aldehydes and ketones). Experiments conducted under conditions relevant to chl ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Force microscopy of the Caenorhabditis elegans embryonic eggshell
Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Roger Philippe Krenger
Assays focusing on emerging biological phenomena in an animal's life can be performed during embryogenesis. While the embryo of Caenorhabditis elegans has been extensively studied, its biomechanical properties are largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2020Efficiency of pre-oxidation of natural organic matter for the mitigation of disinfection byproducts: Electron donating capacity and UV absorbance as surrogate parameters
Pre-oxidation is often used before disinfection with chlorine to decrease the reactivity of the water matrix and mitigate the formation of regulated disinfection byproducts (DBPs). This study provides insights on the impact of oxidative pre-treatment with ...
