Health-relevant microorganisms present in natural surface waters and engineered treatment
systems that are exposed to sunlight can be inactivated by a complex set of interacting …

Improvements in point-of-use (POU) drinking water disinfection technologies for remote and
regional communities are urgently needed. Conceptually, UV-C light-emitting diodes (LEDs) …

The decay of sewage-sourced Escherichia coli and enterococci was measured at multiple
depths in a freshwater marsh, a brackish water lagoon, and a marine site, all located in …

The extraction of nucleic acids from microorganisms for subsequent molecular diagnostic
applications is still a tedious and time-consuming procedure. We developed a method for …

Neutral porphyrins for antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) have received little
attention due to their tendency to aggregate in aqueous media and reports of low phototoxic …

New materials obtained through the incorporation of meso-tetraarylporphyrins, bearing
phenyl or pentafluorophenyl groups at the meso positions with or without acid groups, in …

In this study, the aging of culturable FIB and DNA representing genetic markers for
Enterococcus spp.(ENT1A), general Bacteroides (GB3), and human-associated Bacteroides …

It is presently unknown to what extent the endogenous direct, endogenous indirect, and
exogenous indirect mechanisms contribute to bacterial photoinactivation in natural surface …

Models that predict sunlight inactivation rates of bacteria are valuable tools for predicting the
fate of pathogens in recreational waters and designing natural wastewater treatment …

Aims To investigate the UVB‐independent and exogenous indirect photoinactivation of eight
human health‐relevant bacterial species in the presence of photosensitizers. Methods and …
