The Biochemical Engineering Journal aims to promote progress in the crucial chemical engineering aspects of the development of biological processes associated with everything from raw materials preparation to product recovery, relevant to industries as diverse as medical/healthcare, food and environmental protection.
F.30 Professional assessment of the situation
The aim of this work was to determine the toxic effects of prepared chitosan magnetic nanoparticles (CMN) on five different bacterial cultures. For this purpose three Gram negative bacteria were chosen, Escherichia coli as most commonly tested bacteria, Klebsiella pneumoniae because of its cell capsule and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a non-fermenting bacteria; and two Gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. Three different methods were used for CMN preparation. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the surface of materials. For toxicity determination of so prepared CMN ATCC standards for all previously mentioned bacteria were used. SEM images showed the round-spheric morphology of CMN and their size varied from 40 to 350 µm.
