In this study, 4-thiophenol modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared by the reduction of 4-diazothiophenol tetrafluoroborate salt. Silver nanoparticles were attached to the thiophenol modified surface to prepare a thiophenol-silver nanoparticle composite film. 4-Aminothiopenol molecules were deposited by self-assembling technique to form multi-layered nanofilms of TP/SNP/PhNH2 on glassy carbon substrate. These surfaces were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, reflectance-absorption infrared spectroscopy, and ellips ...More
A single compartment biofuel cell (BFC) based on an anode and a cathode powered by the same fuel glucose is reported. Glucose oxidase (GOx) from Aspergillus niger was applied as a glucose consuming biocatalyst for both anode and cathode of the BFC. The 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline modified graphite rod electrode (GRE) with cross-linked GOx was used as the bioanode, and the GRE with co-immobilised horseradish peroxidase and GOx was exploited as the biocathode of the BFC. The open-circuit voltage of the designed BFC exceeded 450 mV and a maximal power density of 3.5 µW/cm2 was registered at a cel ...More
The present study was conducted to investigate the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in food samples of animal origin and to detect its virulence genes by immunomagnetic separation technique and multiplex PCR (mPCR). A total of 500 samples (consisting of diced meat, minced meat, burger, raw cow's milk and raw cow's milk cheese) were analysed. Escherichia coli O157:H7 was detected in 5 (1%) of 500 analysed samples including two diced meat, one minced meat and two raw-milk cheese. None of the burger samples tested contained E. coli O157:H7. Three isolates obtained from minced and diced meat w ...More
