Rapid, cost-effective, sensitive and accurate methodologies to classify bacteria are still in the process of development. The major drawbacks of standard microbiological, molecular and immunological techniques call for the possible usage of infrared (IR) spectroscopy based supervised chemometric techniques. Previous applications of IR based chemometric methods have demonstrated outstanding findings in the classification of bacteria. Therefore, we have exploited an IR spectroscopy based chemometrics using supervised method namely Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) technique for the first time to classify heavy metal-exposed bacteria to be used in the selection of suitable bacteria to evaluate their potential for environmental cleanup applications. Herein, we present the powerful differentiation and classification of laboratory strains (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) and environmental isolates (Gordonia sp. and Microbacterium oxydans) of bacteria exposed to growth inhibitory concentrations of silver (Ag), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). Our results demonstrated that SIMCA was able to differentiate all heavy metal-exposed and control groups from each other with 95% confidence level. Correct identification of randomly chosen test samples in their corresponding groups and high model distances between the classes were also achieved. We report, for the first time, the success of IR spectroscopy coupled with supervised chemometric technique SIMCA in classification of different bacteria under a given treatment.

Differential activation of immune cells by commensal versus pathogen-derived bacterial DNA
Günalp, Sinem; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2015)
Immunological mechanisms making contribution to discriminating signals obtained from commensal versus pathogenic bacteria is an active area of research and recent evidence proposes that commensals and pathogens might express discrete variants of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP). We hypothesized that as a major member of PAMP, bacterial DNA (bacDNA) originating from commensals versus pathogens might possess distinct immunostimulatory activities, enabling their dis- crimination by the immune syst...
Differential activation of immune cells by commensal versus pathogen-derived bacterial RNA
Özcan, Mine; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2014)
Immunological mechanisms contributing to distinguishing signals derived from commensal versus pathogenic bacteria is an active area of research and recent evidence suggests that commensal and pathogens may express different variants of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP). In this thesis, we propose that as a major member of PAMP, bacterial RNAs derived from commensal and pathogens may have distinct immunostimulatory activities due to differentially recognition by the host immune system. In order t...
Selective Quantification of Viable Escherichia coli Bacteria in Biosolids by Quantitative PCR with Propidium Monoazide Modification
Taskin, Bilgin; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Duran, Metin (American Society for Microbiology, 2011-07-01)
Quantitative differentiation of live cells in biosolids samples, without the use of culturing-based approaches, is highly critical from a public health risk perspective, as recent studies have shown significant regrowth and reactivation of indicator organisms. Persistence of DNA in the environment after cell death in the range of days to weeks limits the application of DNA-based approaches as a measure of live cell density. Using selective nucleic acid intercalating dyes like ethidium monoazide (EMA) and pr...
Implementation and analysis of temperature control strategies for outdoor photobiological hydrogen production
Deo Androga, Dominic; Koku, Harun; Uyar, Başar; Eroglu, Inci (null; 2014-01-01)
In applications of industrial biotechnology, maintaining an optimal temperature range is crucial for growth and proper functioning of microorganisms. For outdoor photobiological hydrogen production many parameters are beyond manipulation, hence effective control of temperature in photobioreactors is a challenge. In this work, an internal cooling system was designed and built, and its performance in outdoor tubular photobioreactors tested during summer months in Ankara, Turkey. Media with and without bacteri...
The characterization of bacteria with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy
Garip, Şebnem; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2005)
New and rapid techniques for the characterization and identification of bacteria would have an important role in clinical microbiology and in food analysis because of an increasing prevalence of infectious diseases and In this work we carried out two approaches. In the first study the characterization and differentiation of mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria were investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopic technique. In the second study, we investigated the characterization and i...
