Briefly, larvae of Thamnocephalus platyurus aged 30-45 h were exposed for 1 h to the samples prepared above in comparison to a control. A suspension of red microspheres was subsequently added for ingestion by the test organisms for 30 min. The larvae were then killed by addition of a fixative solution provided in the kit. The animals were collected from the test tubes and transferred to an observation plate for microscopical examination of the presence or absence of red particles in the digestive tract.
- the larvae in the controls have a digestive tract that is colored deeply red, whereas stressed (intoxicated) larvae do not ingest any particles and have an empty digestive tract. Some microspheres can, however, be taken up at the highest test dilutions.
- the quantitative importance of the toxic effects is rated by determination of the percentage of test biota with colored digestive tracts in the test dilutions versus that in the controls.
- the % inhibition of particle uptake of the various samples were determined as per the instructions of the toxkit, where a value at or below 30% is considered non-toxic, and anything higher requires greater investigation into toxicity effects. The results are summarized in table 13.
- the LC50 of the polymeric spray solution was also calculated as 98.58 ⁇ g/L, demonstrating that at a spray add-on rate of 150 mg/ft 2 , the sample is close to the non-toxic threshold, and even at higher add-on rates, lower aquatic toxicity relative to the Cascades® anti-microbial towels.

(2011), against pure cultures of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Proteus mirabilis/hauseri, and Staphylococcus aureus, supplied by Ward's Natural Science Ltd. (St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada). All cultures were maintained on Tryptic Soy agar. These cultures were then transferred using an inoculation loop to 10 mL of Tryptic soy broth, and grown at 37° C. for 24 hours. Triplicates of plate and broth cultures were made in case of error or contamination.
- Using a sterile swab, and aseptic techniques, the bacterial broth inocula were transferred to Mueller-Hinton plates and spread evenly, ensuring that the entire surface was inoculated. They were then left to dry for 3-5 minutes.
- The following control discs were used: Penicillin (10 μg), Tetracycline (30 μg), Chloramphenicol (30 μg), and Ampicillin (10 μg). Four antibiotic discs containing different compounds were placed equidistant from each other on a Mueller-Hinton plate. Each compound had four replicates per species.
- Plates were incubated for 18-24 hrs at 37° C., and then observed for rings of inhibition. If clear rings of inhibition were present, the diameter was measured twice using a caliper. Absence of rings of inhibition indicated a failed test, meaning the compound does not show enough antibacterial activity to be used in further testing.
- Each novel compound was applied to sterile filter paper discs as a solution (15 mg of compound in 3 mL of solvent). Each disc received 20 μL of solution, and was allowed to dry, giving a final concentration of 100 μg of compound per disc.
- Adapted from Messer et al., (2007), this protocol was used to test novel compounds for antifungal properties against yeasts and fungi. Compounds were tested for antifungal activity against pure cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans supplied by Ward's Natural Science Ltd. and Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus supplied by Alere Inc. (Inverness Medical, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). All cultures were maintained on Sabouraud agar. The cultures of S. cerevisiae, and C. albicans were transferred, using an inoculation loop, to Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 mL of Malt Yeast Extract Broth, and grown with shaking at 15° C. for 48 hrs. The cultures of A. niger and A. fumigatus were transferred, using an inoculation loop, to new Sabouraud agar and grown for 48 hrs. at 27° C., and 35° C. respectively, to cause sporulation. Triplicates of all the plates and broth cultures were made in case of error or contamination.
- Using a sterile swab, and aseptic techniques, the cell suspension of S. cerevisiae, and C. albicans were transferred to Sabouraud agar plates and spread evenly, ensuring that the entire surface was inoculated. They were then left to dry for 10 minutes. The plates containing A. niger and A. fumigatus were covered with 5 mL of 0.85% saline solution, which by using aseptic technique was transferred to 10 mL of 0.85% of saline solution containing 0.2
% Tween 80. The 0.2% Tween 80 reduces the hydrophobicity of the conidia, allowing the spores to be readily suspended (Messer et al., 2007). Alternatively two small circles containing fungal growth of the A Niger or A Fumigatus fungi were cut from the agar plates, and using a glass/PTFE tissue homoginzer, were mixed and homogenized with 5 ml of sterile MilliQ water to create a suspension of fungal spores. Using a sterile swab, and aseptic techniques, the spore inocula of A. niger and A. fumigatus were transferred to Sabouraud agar plates and spread evenly, ensuring that the entire surface was inoculated. They were then left to dry for 10 minutes. - Amphotericin B (100 μg) in acetone was used as a control. Four antibiotic discs containing different compounds were place equidistant apart on each Sabouraud plate. Each compound had four replicates per species.
- Plates containing S. cerevisiae, and C. albicans were incubated for 18-24 hrs at 37° C., A. niger for 48 hrs at room temperature, and A. fumigatus for 18-24 hrs at 35° C. After incubation, the plates were observed for rings of inhibition. If clear rings of inhibition were present, the diameter was measured twice using a caliper. Halos indicated partial inhibition of growth (Hicks et al., 2008). Absence of a ring of inhibition constitutes a failed test, meaning the compound did not show enough antifungal activity to be used in further testing.

- After, 5 cm from each edge of the paper towels was cut out (to prevent edge areas where spraying might have been irregular being tested), and from the remaining paper towels, a single hole punch machine was used to punch 6 mm paper discs from each of the paper towels. These discs were then tested for anti-microbial activity as per the protocol described in example 24 and the results summarized in Tables 11 and 12.
- The environmental toxicity of the antimicrobial paper towel wipes, were characterized, by performing a rapidtoxkit test by Microbiotests Inc, using the Thamnocephalus platyurus crustacean.
- The samples were prepared by weighing and then dissolving 1 2 ply sheet of each of the paper towels of interest (150 and 350 mg/ft2) and Cascades® anti-microbial paper towels containing benzalkonium chloride as the active ingredient, in 1 L of EPA moderate-hard synthetic freshwater prepared as per EPA guidelines (Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater and Marine Organisms, 2002). The samples were then diluted using the EPA moderate-hard synthetic freshwater to a concentration of 200 μg/L of initial paper towel weight in solution. Additionally samples of the polymeric antimicrobial solution used to prepare the paper towels (from example 23), PAA-Bz-H, were also dissolved in the EPA moderate-hard synthetic freshwater and diluted to concentrations of 2, 20, 60 and 200 μg/L for the tests.
- The rapid thamnocephalus test was carried out as per the standard operating procedure of the rapidtoxkit (Standard Operational Procedure of the Rapidtoxkit, 2004). Briefly, larvae of Thamnocephalus platyurus aged 30-45 h were exposed for 1 h to the samples prepared above in comparison to a control. A suspension of red microspheres was subsequently added for ingestion by the test organisms for 30 min. The larvae were then killed by addition of a fixative solution provided in the kit. The animals were collected from the test tubes and transferred to an observation plate for microscopical examination of the presence or absence of red particles in the digestive tract. The larvae in the controls have a digestive tract that is colored deeply red, whereas stressed (intoxicated) larvae do not ingest any particles and have an empty digestive tract. Some microspheres can, however, be taken up at the highest test dilutions. The quantitative importance of the toxic effects is rated by determination of the percentage of test biota with colored digestive tracts in the test dilutions versus that in the controls. The % inhibition of particle uptake of the various samples were determined as per the instructions of the toxkit, where a value at or below 30% is considered non-toxic, and anything higher requires greater investigation into toxicity effects. The results are summarized in table 13. The LC50 of the polymeric spray solution was also calculated as 98.58 μg/L, demonstrating that at a spray add-on rate of 150 mg/ft2, the sample is close to the non-toxic threshold, and even at higher add-on rates, lower aquatic toxicity relative to the Cascades® anti-microbial towels.
