Abstract:
Three-dimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3DEEM) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to study the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by alga-bacteria biofilm. Three excitation/emission (Ex/Em) fluorescence peaks at Ex/Em 225~235/300~330 nm (Peak A), 275~280/325~330 nm (Peak B), and 335/432~434 nm (Peak C) were identified in the 3DEEM, respectively. Peaks A and B were referred to as protein-like fluorescence and peak C as humic-like fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity at both peaks A and B decreased as Al3+ concentration increased. The values of logK (conditional stability constant) for peaks A and B were 5.89 and 6.95, respectively. It was also found that solution pH strongly affected the fluorescence intensity at peaks A and B for the Al3+-EPS complexation. The fluorescence intensity at peaks A and B increased consistently with solution pH increasing from 2 to 4, decreased with solution pH increasing from 4 to 7, and increased again with solution pH increasing from 7 to 11. FTIR analysis demonstrated that —NH— and C==O groups in EPS were responsible for binding with Al3+. Fig 6, Ref 21
