Rapid Quantitative Detection & Speciation of Contamination in the Urban Watershed Continuation of WQ1 669 524 94 N W R I • David C. White, Cory Lytle, Ying Dong Gan, Aaron M. Peacock, Kimberly Salome, Yevette M. Picenco, • Institute for Applied Microbiology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN • Microbial Insights, Inc., Rockford, TN, Microbial Insights, Inc. -IAM
WQ1 669 524 94 Objectives: 1). Rapid (< 1 hr) Quantitative sensitive method for CONTAMINATION* Detection to monitor multiple sites in the watershed 2). Allows for” regionalized” intensive treatment in an integrated watershed system CONTAMINATION* Drugs, hormones & other pharmaceutically active compounds -ppb Differentiate Pathogenic Bacteria including especially VBNC pathogens ~ Enterics, Legionella, Mycobacteria, indicators for virus Protozoa Cryptosporidium, Giardia , Microsporidium, Algae Indicators pf pathogen infectivity
Sampling Urban Watershed --- Scheme #1 • Strategically placed coupons at multiple sites for biofilm formation • Biofilms are readily invaded by Pathogens and Nurtured • Lipids in biofilms serve as a built in solid phase extractor for hydrophobic drugs, hormones, bioactive agents • 5. Convenient to recover & analyze for biomarkers • Its not in the water but the slime on the coupon
Sampling Urban Watershed --- Scheme # 2 • Coupon sequentially extracted high pressure/temperature • Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Neutral Lipids • (residue) Chloroform/methanol Polar lipids • Analysis by HPLC/ES/MS/MS • (residue) Mild Acid , SFE Lipopolysaccharide OH FA Analysis by GC/MS • Analysis on GIS Basis by automatons neural network ANN • Feedback to purification interdiction systems
In the Drinking Water Biofilm Reproducibly Generate a Drinking Water Biofilm: • 1. Add from continuous culture vessels: • Pseudomonas Spp. • Acetovorax spp. • Bacillus spp. • 2. Seed with trace surrogate/pathogen E. coli (GFP), Mycobacteriumpflei (GFP), Legionellabosmanii , Sphingomonas
