Gold nanostars were coated with thiolated polyethylene glycol, its amount was about 8×104 molecules per 1 particle and about 4,4×1015 molecules/ml in the colloid. The zeta potential of gold nanostars coated with PEG-SH was −2.3 mV. The combined effect of gold nanostars and low-intensity infrared (808 nm) laser radiation on the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus 209 P and Escherichia coli 113-13 has been studied. Incubation of suspensions of microorganisms in the presence of nanoparticles without access to light did not lead to a significant reduction in the number of bacteria. Irradiation for 30 min of bacterial suspensions containing nanoparticles caused the death of 39% of the S. aureus population and 80% of the E. coli population. During the thermometry of the studied suspensions, it was found that the temperature increase is dose-dependent. The increase in temperature of the control samples that did not contain photothermal agents did not exceed 1 °C in both cases throughout the entire time of the experiment. For suspensions of bacteria (equally S. aureus and E. coli) incubated with gold nanostars during irradiation, an increase in temperature indicators, on average, by 4 °C was revealed. The more pronounced antibacterial activity of the combination of gold nanostars and infrared (808 nm) laser radiation against E. coli can also be explained by the greater sensitivity of gram-negative microorganisms to photothermal exposure.","PeriodicalId":14627,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya of Saratov University.

Spectroscopic, chromatographic, electrochemical, immunoassay and other methods are used to determine tetracycline antibiotics in various objects. Planar sensors allow express detection of antibiotics in small sample volumes. Planar potentiometric sensors based on ion associations doxycycline – tetraphenylborate (Copt = 2–3%), modifier – polyaniline, for the quantitative determination of doxycycline have been developed. It has been found that for non-modificated sensors, the linearity intervals of electrode functions are 1×10 -4 – 5×10 -3 M, Cmin – 5,0×10-5 M, angular coefficients – 50±2 mV/pC, response time – 25 s. It is shown that the introduction of a modifier into the carbon-containing ink of sensors leads to the stabilization of their potential, to an increase in the angular coefficients of electrode functions (56±1), reduced response time (20 s) and reduced detection limit (4.0 ×10-5 M). It is shown that the introduction of the modifier into the carbon-containing ink of the sensors leads to stabilization of their potential, to an increase in the angular coefficients of electrode functions (56±1), a decrease in response time (20 seconds) and a decrease in the detection limit (4.0 ×10-5 M). Doxycycline sensitive sensors have selectivity to the base ion (Ki/j < < 1) and inorganic cations (Ki/j (K+) = 0.61; Ki/j (Na+) = 0,01; Ki/j (Mg 2+) = 0,01; Ki/j (Ca2+) = 0.09), and indicate the possibility of determining doxycycline in human biological fluids. Against the background of oral liquid, the angular coefficients of electrode functions (45±1 mV/pS) decrease, which is associated with the background influence of oral liquid. The developed planar sensors are used to determination doxycycline in medicinal and biological media.","PeriodicalId":14627,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya of Saratov University. New Series.

It was found that, across the Lower Volga region, the studied communities with C. bulbocodium subsp. versicolor are mostly confined to the slopes of south- and east-facing arroyos and more seldom to the southern and northern hill slopes, plains, arroyo and liman bases, and floodmeadows. During the period of mass flowering, 207 vascular plants were detected in the studied communities. Every community description included 9 to 36 species. Biological diversity was assessed with the Shannon index and polydominance index; the degree of dominance was measured with the Simpson index. The species similarity of the communities was evaluated through pairwise comparison with the Jaccard coefficient. It was revealed that C. bulbocodium subsp. versicolor occurs in communities varying in diversity and species composition. The subspecies is not confined to specific phytocoenoses. It usually grows on rich and, more seldom, fairly rich and slightly saline soils. Their alluviality is more often weak rather than moderate. Watering usually corresponds to the dry steppe or semi-desert climate type, rarely to the middle steppe type, being moderately variable and in some cases highly variable. The impact of grazing is usually weak, but it is either moderate or strong in some communities. The communities with C. bulbocodium subsp. versicolor are dominated by hemicryptophytes: mostly tap-root, short-rhizome and long-rhizome herbaceous perennials. In phytocoenotic terms, most species belong to the zonal type of vegetation, namely steppe vegetation. The participation of meadow species is prominent. The share of weed species is rather high, which indicates a significant anthropogenic load on the studied communities.","PeriodicalId":14627,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya of Saratov University.

When analyzing the average values of the accumulation coefficients of heavy metals and arsenic by all studied types of medicinal plant raw materials, it is possible to build up a series of decreases in the total average accumulation efficiency of the determined elements for these plants, which is as follows: zinc> copper > cadmium > cobalt > nickel > arsenic > chromium > lead > mercury. When analyzing the values of accumulation coefficients, rows of decreasing efficiency of accumulation of elements in all types of medicinal plant raw materials studied are constructed. A detailed analysis of the characteristics of the accumulation of heavy metals and arsenic from soils in medicinal plant raw materials showed the presence of aclose positive relationship between concentrations in soil and plants for most of the determined elements, which indicates the predominant contamination of plant raw materials through the soil.","PeriodicalId":14627,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya of Saratov University.

Microbial screening was conducted on isolates from microbiocenoses of highly magnetic soils of the city Mednogorsk (Orenburg region, Russia), to assess their resistance to manganese (II) ions. The objects of this research were nine strains of manganese-oxidizing microorganisms and two strains of iron-oxidizing microorganisms: Bacillus megaterium 69.3 and B. megaterium 69.5. It was observed that, most of the studied microorganisms were characterized by increased resistance to manganese (II) ions when grown on an agar medium. Maximum resistance to Mn (II) was observed in microbial strains: 55.2 and B. megaterium 69.5. The maximum tolerant concentration (MTC) of Mn (II) for these microorganisms was 300 and 350 mmol/L; the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 350 and 450 mmol/L, respectively. When studying the growth of the two microbial strains: 55.2 and B. megaterium 69.5 in liquid media for 5 days. It was discovered that, when cultured in a selective medium, microbial resistance of the strains to Mn (II) was higher compared to when cultured in a nutrient LB medium. The results showed high resistance of microorganisms to a range of Mn (II) concentrations: from 0,5 to 250 mmol/L in a liquid medium. Maximum growth of the studied microbial strains was observed at Mn (II) concentration of 10 mmol/L. These microbial strains with high resistance to Mn (II) open up the prospect of their practical use for biotechnological purposes involving the purification of drinking and wastewater from high manganese content.","PeriodicalId":14627,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya of Saratov University.
