Coni

20、diospores are the dispersal form of these fungi. Germination of conidia is the first stage in proliferation of the fungus. If the conidiospore cannot germinate, there can be no proliferation and no blockage of fuel lines, ducts etc. This method should be performed only by persons qualified in the mi

21、crobiology of fungi. The standard can be used to assess the effectiveness of new candidate coating systems in inhibiting microbial (fungal) growth.

22、ense from IHS-,-,-BS EN 4159:2011EN 4159:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method to assess the ability of biocide-containing coatings to prevent the germination of conidiospores of certain fungi known to be capable of proliferating in fuel systems for aerospace applications. 2 T

23、erms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 Conidiospores single-celled structures produced by the mycelial mould form of the fungus NOTE Conidiospores are spherical or nearly spherical resting cells, i.e. cells which may be dispersed readil

24、y but which do not proliferate. However, conidiospores may germinate if they encounter suitable conditions of moisture and nutrients. On germination, a conidiospore produces a long tube-like outgrowth which then forms dense branching structures mycelia which may block fuel ducts etc. A suitable coat

25、ing will prevent germination of conidiospores. A coating which prevents germination of conidiospores is considered to have fungistatic activity. This fungistatic activity may be assessed quantitatively by assessing the success rate of germination of conidiospores under standard conditions (see below

26、) to determine whether the test coating delays or prevents germination of conidiospores when compared with a coating which is known to possess no fungistatic activity. Laboratories which undertake work to this method should first obtain the test fungi (see 5) and perform control experiments to satis

27、fy themselves that they can follow the process of germination of conidiospores. These initial experiments may be performed by placing the agarose gel (see below) on the surface of sterile plastic petri dishes rather than on the surface of coated test panels, as is done in the present method. 3 Princ

28、iple 3.1 Conidiospores are placed on a gel within a few millimetres of the panel/coating under test. Under the test conditions a high proportion of these conidia germinate begin growth rapidly unless some material in the coating diffuses through the gel and prevents germination. 3.2 The success rate

29、 of germination, after any given interval of exposure to the coating, is expressed as the number of cells that have germinated divided by the number of cells examined (germinated + nongerminated). The success rate of germination is determined from time to time, beginning when the conidiospores are f

30、irst exposed to the coating under test. Examination is made using a microscope 100. This allows ready distinction between ungerminated conidiospores approximately spherical and the long filamentous outgrowth that is the result of germination. 3.3 The results obtained with conidiospores exposed to te

31、st coatings are to be compared with results of conidiospores exposed to coatings that contain no inhibitor. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Incubator, capable of maintaining (25 1) C. 4.2 Autoclave suitable for sterilization of microbiological growth media, i.e. capable of heating the media to 121 C for 15 min. 4.3

32、 Water bath, set to (45 1) C. 4.4 Microscope, magnification 100, and glass microscope slides. 4.5 Plastic disposable petri dishes - 90 mm to 100 mm diameter. 4.6 Sterile microbiological loops.

34、 wool. 4.9 Balance, toploading, 0,1 g resolution. 4.10 Micropipetting device (with disposable sterile tips) to deliver 0,010 ml. 4.11 Test fungi, to be obtained from national culture collections: 4.11.1 Amorphotheca resinae (also known as Cladosporium resinae) 4.11.2 Aspergillus niger 4.11.3 Nationa

35、l culture collections contain several different strains of each of these fungi. The laboratory should choose a suitable strain (e.g. one isolated from aeronautical fuel tank) by reference to the information supplied by the culture collection. 4.12 Microbiological growth media Rose Bengal Chloramphen

36、icol Agar. The Oxoid product Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar is suitable. 4.13 Agarose The product catalogue No. A0567 of the Sigma Chemical Company is suitable. 4.14 D-glucose The Sigma product catalogue No. G7528 is suitable. 5 Specimen 5.1 Test panels are panels coated on one face only with a pa

37、int suspected of having fungistatic activity. Control panels are similar panels coated on one face only with a similar paint which lacks any fungistatic additive. These coatings must be applied according to the manufacturers instructions. The panel edges may be left uncoated. Panels that are 10 mm 2

38、0 mm (length width) are suitable. Panels should be less than 10 mm thick. Panels are stored at room temperature. 5.2 Three test panels and three control panels are required. 6 Procedure 6.1 Test methods 6.1.1 Preparation of agarose + glucose gel To 100 ml distilled water in a 250 ml conical flask, a

39、dd 2 g agarose and 1 g D-glucose. Heat to boiling and swirl thoroughly to obtain a clear solution. Cool the solution in a 45 C water bath. Pour (20 1) g of the cooled solution into a petri dish and allow the solution to set at room temperature to form a clear colourless gel. 6.1.2 Application of gel

40、 to coating Ensure that the test specimens are at room temperature. Cut the gel formed in 6.1.1 so as to fit, approximately, the specimens under test. Place the cut gel on the coated surface of the specimen and trim any excess. Place the gel/specimen in a petri dish and store it at 25 C for 22 h to

41、24 h. 6.1.3 Preparation of spore suspension Ten days prior to test, make up Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar according to the manufacturers directions. Pour (15 1) ml of the sterilized and equilibrated 45 C medium into each of an appropriate number of petri dishes (90 mm diameter) and allow the agar

42、 to form a gel. Seed the prepared medium with the fungus under test. Incubate this culture (see 5.1) for 10 days.

43、N 4159:2011 (E) 7 Harvest conidiospores from the culture by passing a sterile microbiological loop gently over the surface of the fungus and then swirling the loop in a few millilitres of sterile water. Shake the suspension thoroughly to disaggregate conidiospores. Determine the number of conidiospo

44、res per ml of suspension using a blood cell counting chamber haemocytometer according to the manufacturers directions. A suitable suspension will be made up almost entirely 95 % of conidiospores, the remainder being hyphal fragments readily distinguishible from conidiospores. Remove hyphal fragments

45、 by passing the suspension through a funnel loosely plugged with sterile cotton wool. Adjust the suspension to 106conidiospores per ml by either adding water or centrifuging the suspension and resuspending the conidiospores in a suitable volume of sterile water. Use this suspension within two hours

46、of the time it was formed. 6.1.4 Application of suspension to gel and storage at 25 C After the specimens have been stored for the required time (see 6.1.2), apply 0,010 ml of suspension (see 6.1.3) to the gel surface using a micropipettor. Then use a sterile microbiological loop to spread the suspe

47、nsion uniformly on the gel surface. The surface should appear to be dry within a few minutes. Use a razor blade to cut a piece approximately 5 mm 5 mm of gel for microscopic examination for time = zero. Mount this on a microscope slide. Place the remainder of the gel + coating + panel in its petri d

48、ish and store at 25 C. The required relative humidity during storage at 25 C is attained by placing the specimens under test in petri dishes held in loose fitting plastic bags. Each such bag should also contain a petri dish which contains sterile filter paper saturated with sterile distilled water. 6.1.5 Microscopic examination Examine the slide prepared in 6.1.4 at a magnification of 100. Count all cells whether they are conidia or hyphal fragments in several microscopic fields so that 100 cells are examined and counted. At this point all conidia should be approximatel
