  1. School of Earth & Space Exploration Chemical and mineralogical comparison of two antibacterial clays Amanda Turner Dr. Lynda Williams, Dr. Shelley Haydel*, Christine Remenih* & Tanya Borchardt*

  2. ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECTIVENESS Isolating bacteria affected by clay Isolating the antibacterial clay minerals ANTIBACTERIAL MECHANISM Testing for physical interaction Testing for chemical interaction ICP-MS, Electron Probe, pH, Eh: Toxin provided? Nutrient depleted? SEM, Mineralogy: Clay-cell attraction? Physical disruption? Investigating Antibacterial Clay Minerals

  3. Bulk Mineralogy NONClaysClays 10.4% Qtz 44.9% Smectite 6.2% Olig 16.5% Illite 5.3% Alb 1.1% Gibbsite 6.7% Others NONClaysClays 39.3% Qtz 21.5% Illite 3.2% Pyrite 16.2% Smectite 1.2% Barite 4.1% Kaol. 1.0% Magnetite 3.3% Pyroph.

  4. Clay Mineralogy No ONE antibacterial mineral  How about the chemistry?

  13. Future Work • More Imaging! • Model elemental speciation at varying pH and Eh – similarities? • Cation exchange (xc) - remove xc’able ions -test xc solution and xc’d clay • Electron and Ion Microscopy - clay/bacteria interactions
