Study on a one-dimensional defective photonic crystal suitable for organic compound sensing applications

Abstract: Organic-compound-based sensors have important applications, such as applications in geothermal power stations, the shoe industry, the extraction of vegetable oil, azeotropic calibration and medical science. Herein, a 1D photonic crystal (PC) with a defect has been used to develop a photonic-technology-based organic compound sensor with optimum performance. The structure of the proposed organic compound sensor consists of a water cavity sandwiched between two symmetric sub-PCs, which are composed of alternate layers of SiO2 and ZnO. The proposed air/(SiO2/ZnO)5/cavity/(SiO2/ZnO)5/glass structure with the optimized structural parameters achieves a quality factor that varies between a minimum value of 4968.2 and a maximum value of 6418.5. The FOM and sensitivity values of the proposed sensing design are on the order of 102 and 103, respectively. The LOD value of the proposed sensor is on the order of 10−5, which is very low, as is always expected for chemical sensing designs. Thus, the simple design and excellent performance make our design highly efficient and suitable for sensing applications in the industrial and biomedical fields.

Biodegradation of carbazole by newly isolated Acinetobacter spp.

Abstract: In this study, two bacterial isolates designated Alp6 and Alp7 were isolated from soil collected from dye industries and screened for their ability to degrade carbazole. Growing cells of the isolates Alp6 and Alp7 could degrade 99.9% and 98.5% of carbazole, respectively in 216 h. The specific activity for degradation by the resting cells of Alp6 was found to be 7.96 μmol/min/g dry cell weight, while for Alp7 it was 5.82 μmol/min/g dry cell weight. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA gene sequences showed that isolates Alp6 and Alp7 belonged to the genus Acinetobacter. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the Acinetobacter spp. showing utilization of carbazole as carbon and nitrogen source.
