Microbiological organisms

Biodeterioration. For objects made out of organic materials, mold and insect attack are a principal cause of damage. Microbiological organisms can also be responsible for serious deterioration of outdoor stone. Museums, especially storage areas, are quite conducive to providing the conditions in which infestations can occur. Objects are stored in close proximity, and left untouched for prolonged periods, often with Htde if any ak movement. 

Microbiological organisms Enterococcus faecium, Salmonella typhimurium, EnterobacUr cloacea, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes... 

Finishing the crude infusion by filtering it, preferably through a final membrane filter of about 0.2-0.4 p,m to remove as many as possible of the microbiological organisms in the extract. 

Many water sources can also contain considerable microbiological organisms, especially bacteria and algae, which can add to the problems encountered. 

Oil is another problem. Even small traces of oil can reduce chemical inhibitor performance and impede heat transfer. Therefore it must be eliminated. It is always preferable to remove microbiological organisms, oil, and other forms of organic contaminants from a water source prior to its use as cooling system makeup. 

This is a general name for a wide variety of corrosion processes that may be actively or passively influenced, or induced, by an even wider variety of microbiological organisms. The electrochemical reactions that occur always result in metal wastage, as with all other forms of corrosion the most active biocorrosion processes primarily involve sessile bacteria rather than planktonic bacteria, algae, or fungi. 

The source of most sludges and other foulants, however, is from the surrounding environment. Air-blown leaves, sand, dust, and dirt, the infiltration of microbiological organisms, the air scrubbing effects of the cooling... 

Air-blown silt, the ingress of microbiological organisms, etc. aside, all basic scale and corrosion problems start with the source of makeup water to the cooling system.

Triamcinolone (I, Figure 6) is most commonly synthesized by microbiological dehydrogenation at C-1,2 of 16a-hydroxy-9a-fluorohydrocortisone (II) directly or with intermediate formation of the 16,17-borate ester or 16,21-diacetate (V). A variety of microbiological organisms, capable of 1-dehydrogenation have been reported- - or patented... 

Localized restriction of the cathodic reactant This condition is observed in crevices such as overlapping surfaces, incompletely sealed gaskets, and incomplete press fits, particularly where heat exchanger tubes are rolled into a tube sheet. It also is observed under accumulated porous scale, dirt, and corrosion product deposits. The attack is due to localized acidification from the hydrolysis of metal ions and to the products of the metabolism of microbiological organisms. 

Preparations containing live microbiological organisms should not be made or containers filled in areas used for the processing of other pharmaceutical products however, vaccines of dead organisms or of bacterial extracts may be dispensed into containers, after validated inactivation and validated cleaning procedures, in the same premises as other sterile pharmaceutical products. 

The influence of microbiological organisms can be the initiation of either general or localized corrosion. This influence is because of the effect of organisms to change variables such as pH, oxidizing power, flow velocity, and concentration of chemical species at the metal/solution interface. 

The major area of growth in the use of vibrational spectroscopy in recent years has been in the application to biology. The identification of bacteria and other microbiological organisms is well established. Over 800 yeast strains can be identified with high certainty and bacteria can be classified and identified by infrared methods. 

Surface decontamination of BSCs can be carried out using 70-85% ethanol or isopropanol. These alcohols are effective against most microbiological organisms except for spores or nonlipid viruses. Concentrations of these alcohols below 50% are not effective. It is important to limit the use of these alcohols in BSCs due to their flammability and the fact that components of the BSCs are not spark-proof. 

Bleach is often used to decontaminate surfaces. Ordinary household bleach, containing about 5% sodium hypochlorite, is diluted 1 100 to produce a solution of about 500 ppm. This solution is effective against all microbiological organisms, including spores. However, it is corrosive to some surfaces. If it is used in a BSC, it must be followed by a rinse with sterile water to ensure that the stainless steel surfaces do not corrode. Sometimes a detergent is combined with the dilute bleach solution to make a very effective disinfectant. 

Ethylene oxide (ETO) is a gas and it is widely used as a chemical sterilant in medical facilities and hospitals. Special ETO decontamination equipment is available commercially. It is effective for microbiological organisms, but its effectiveness depends on temperature, concentration, exposure time, and humidity. Often it can penetrate packaging. Materials treated with ETO must sit 24 hours to allow excess ETO to dissipate. 

Recognize that microbiological organisms can present significant hazards.
