dc.description.abstract | The aim of the study was the use of modem physical techniques to study biological
materials. Knowledge of the structure and elemental composition of the bacterial cells surface
and the modifications occur in them is important due to the fact that the surface structures of
the first contact with the environment, to protect cells from harmful substaces and are
involved in interactions between other cells of the bacteria.
The experiments were carried out using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and
scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with "Cryo-chamber”, which gives the
possibility of testing biological samples in a frozen state. These methods enabled receiving
images of surface topography of the bacteria and demarcated their chemical composition.
This work presents the results of studies on bacteria isolated from the air indoor
spaces, such as dental offices and gyms, and the external environment sewage treatment plant,
located in the province of Silesia. In addition, the chemical composition of the surface layer
of the bacteria and morphological changes were studied in the cell wall bacteria Bacillus
subtilis and Escherichia coli that were grown at different temperatures and different pH.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) gives high information content and yields
quantitative data on elemental composition and chemical bonding of the surface layer of the
bacteria. Based on the registered inspection XPS spectra, in the energy 0 - 1400 eV, average
atom concentration elements on the surface of the tested microorganisms was determined.
The calculations were performed using the Physical Electronics Multipak which includes only
those elements for which the characteristic lines are clearly visible in the spectrum. When
interpreting the results the special attention was put on the determination of major elements
(C, O, N, P) and remaining (K, Cl, Mg). An interesting observation was made in the elemental analysis of the bacterial surfaces
for two examples of XPS spectra of Bacillus subtilis in the temperature 37°C and 20°C. Fitted
lines of carbon (C1 s) and oxygen ( 0 1 s) of the bacterial samples tested for both temperatures
(20°C and 37°C) using SimPeak. Analysis of this main line allowed the identification of
various functional groups participating in the biomaterial of the bacterial surface. The XPS
lines related to the optimal temperature are narrower and the functional groups are better
distinguishable. This indicates the better quality of the cell wall surface.
Observations of frozen the bacteria in Cryo-SEM have allowed to gain information
about their surface structure, both at low and high magnifications and to determine their size.
The length, thickness and smoothness of the surface of the bacteria grown in the optimal
temperature are different than at a sub-optimal temperature. Also, the electronic structure is
different, and the deconvolution lines C 1 s and O 1 s in bacteria grown at temperature 20°C
revealed an additional peak. This is due to immaturity of the cell wall surface. Presence of the
additional lines indicates that the temperature is one of environment of the main factors
affecting the structure of the bacteria. | pl_PL |
