Evaluation of Chemical and Mineralogical Structure of Davutoğlan Bird Sanctuary Clay for It’s Antimicrobial Efficiency
Öz
In this
study we examined possible antimicrobial properties of clay specimen taken from
Davutoğlan Bird Sanctuary which is located in Kıztepe skirts as a remote
ecological environment to industrial areas. Antimicrobial effects of Gram (-) (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa)
and Gram (+) (Bacillus subtilis,
Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus) pathogenic bacteria species
on clay samples collected from the region were investigated. Between 0.5-1.5
g/mL concentration range clay has been shown to affect bacterial growth with
the bacterial inoculations of 105 cfu/mL. X-ray diffraction (XRD),
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and thermogravimetric (TG) studies of clay minerals
and chemical structure have been determined in parallel with the study of
antimicrobial activity in order to support these results and to explain the
findings. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and
Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) methods were used to determine the pore structure
and surface area of the clay. The obtained results were correlated with antimicrobial activity.
According to XRD, XRF and TG analysis results, illite, dolomite and calcite
were found to be major clay minerals from the samples taken from the area. It
was found that they have a large surface area of 57,002 m2/g
according to BET results. It is also concluded that since the large surface
area gives strong absorbent properties and supplies a suitable interface for
oxidation, suppression of the bacterial growth is observed.
