Hi,
I am working with some ILs and have some great dates, but still I found some problems. I was testing those ILs on bacteria to know how they influence on them and on degradation of some organic compounds, but I have problems with bacteria aggregation. In some cases strains are aggregating to each other, but still alive. I checked it by using two dyes: PI and orange. the data are confusing because during tests with dehydrogenase the results are quite different.
Does anyone know how I can check if why bacteria are aggregating even with small concentration of ILs and how to interpret those kind of results? It seems that some of ILs are very toxic even in low concentration, but there are different date for Gram + and Gram - bacteria. Gram - bacteria are more immune for the ILs.
Thanks for help.
If you an, please comment on why type of ionic liquids you are exposing the cells to...
Hi Tomasz,
We work with both IL and bacterias in biosensors, maybe that can be of help for you.
We can help you characterize the interaction between the IL and bacterias.
Best regards
Teodor
Dear all,
The Theophylline is as an anion in those ILs and as cations there are both, cyclic and chains in some variations.
Dear Aastrup, it would be great if you could help me to characterize the interactions.
Now I am thinking about problems with proteostasis in the cells, which can be observe when the cells are exposed to some toxic compounds.
