Recent advances in understanding the control of disinfectant-resistant biofilms by hurdle technology in the food industry

Lei Yuan et al.

Summary: The modern food processing environment provides ideal conditions for the formation of biofilms by foodborne and spoilage microorganisms, posing a serious problem in the food industry. Biofilms can lead to foodborne illness and spoilage, emphasizing the need for effective control measures such as hurdle technology. Understanding the mechanisms behind biofilm resistance to disinfectants and effective hurdle technologies is essential in ensuring safe food production.

Germicidal UV Sources and Systems†

Rolf S. Bergman

Summary: This paper reviews the competing technologies of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation for air disinfection during the COVID-19 pandemic, including low-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamps, ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, and excimer lamps. By comparing these technologies, it provides a solid basis for decision-making on choosing and installing UV systems for disinfection purposes.

Membrane fouling control by UV/persulfate in tertiary wastewater treatment with ultrafiltration: A comparison with UV/hydroperoxide and role of free radicals

Fangshu Qu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that UV/PS pretreatment effectively reduced membrane fouling caused by EfOM, improving flux and fouling reversibility, and shifting fouling mechanisms from successive pore blocking to single standard blocking. UV/H2O2 pretreatment was found to be ineffective under the investigated conditions.

Regrowth of bacteria after light-based disinfection - What we know and where we go from here

Manna Wang et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the mechanisms and concentrations of bacterial regrowth after water/wastewater disinfection, as well as the pros and cons of experimental designs and detection techniques. Bacterial regrowth can occur through various mechanisms, with many studies underestimating the actual degree of regrowth. Further research should focus on the factors influencing bacterial regrowth and adopt multiplex detection methods.

Hamed Torkzadeh et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of ultraviolet-C (UVC) LEDs to prevent biofilm formation in specific devices. The results show that under UV intensity of 50.5 mu W/cm(2) (254 nm), the surface biovolume of E. coli was reduced by 95%.

The Role of Vessel Biofouling in the Translocation of Marine Pathogens: Management Considerations and Challenges

Eugene Georgiades et al.

Summary: Vessel biofouling is a major pathway for the introduction of marine non-indigenous macro-organisms and pathogens, but the focus on pathogen translocation is lacking. More attention and measures are needed to prevent the risks to marine values posed by the translocation of pathogens.

Effects of microbial inactivation approaches on quantity and properties of extracellular polymeric substances in the process of wastewater treatment and reclamation: A review

Gen-Qiang Chen et al.

Summary: Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play a significant role in wastewater treatment and reclamation processes. Different microbial inactivation treatments can alter the quantity and properties of EPS, with proteins and humic acids being more susceptible to treatment than polysaccharides. These changes in EPS properties can impact the effectiveness of wastewater treatment processes.
