Ag(2)O/TNBs were fabricated by depositing Ag(2)O nanoparticles on the surface of TiO(2) nanobelts (TNBs). The disinfection activities of Ag(2)O/TNBs on two representative bacterial types: Gram-negative Escherichia coli ATCC15597 and Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, were examined under both dark and visible light conditions. Ag(2)O/TNBs exhibited stronger bactericidal activities than Ag(2)O nanoparticles and TNBs under both dark and light conditions. For both cell types, disinfection effects of Ag(2)O/TNBs were greater under light conditions relative to those under dark conditions. The bactericidal mechanisms of Ag(2)O/TNBs under both dark and light conditions were explored. Ag(+) ions released from Ag(2)O/TNBs did not contribute to the bactericidal activity of Ag(2)O/TNBs under dark conditions, whereas the released Ag(+) ions showed bactericidal activity under visible light irradiation conditions. Active species (H(2)O(2), O(2)(-)·, and e(-)) generated by Ag(2)O/TNBs played important roles in the disinfection processes under both dark and visible light irradiation conditions. Without the presence of active species, the direct contact of Ag(2)O/TNBs with bacterial cells had no bactericidal effect.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
