Sodium hypochlorite alkaline was tested against Pseudomonas tolaasii causing bacterial blotch on cultivated oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). The minimum inhibitory concentration of sodium hypochlorite against P. tolaasii contained active chlorine (AC) at 1.4 mg/l on plate assay. The highest cultivation yield was obtained from the treatment of AC 5.7 mg/l. Treatment of sodium hypochlorite at the rate of higher than AC 11.4 mg/l resulted in reduced yields at the harvest. However, the population of total bacteria on the bed surface treated with AC 5.7 mg/l of sodium hypochlorite was maintained to some extent. Inhibitory concentration against total bacteria on the bed surface was over AC 22.8 mg/l. Mushroom mycelium was damaged and its growth strongly inhibited at the concentration of AC 200 mg/l. Mushroom caps showed yellowish symptom by chemical injury by treatments of AC 74.1 mg/l or higher. Sporocarps infected by P. tolaasii were irrevocable at any concentration of sodium hypochlorite. Routine watering with AC 5.7 mg/l from mushroom initiation to the end of picking resulted in reduced bacterial blotch incidence of 40% and 86% at two mushroom farms. The treatment resulted in higher quality mushroom production compared to that conventionally watered with tap water alone.

In this study, nylon mash and silicone tube mainly used as shrimp farm equipment were contaminated with Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) which is the cause of Hepatopancreatic microsporidiosis (HPM), and were treated with calcium hypochlorite or UV-C disinfection methods for EHP eradication. As a result, similar with the control group (not disinfected), EHP was detected on the nested PCR until the 10 days in the UV-C single treated group. On the other hand, EHP was not detected from 7 days in calcium hypochlorite single treated group (total concentration 200 ppm as available chlorine), and combination of calcium hypochlorite and UV-C treated group revealed no detection of EHP from 3 days. It is appropriate that treated with UV-C and calcium hypochlorite for 3 days or single treated with calcium hypochlorite for 7 days to eradicate EHP on contaminated instrument used in shrimp farms. In contrast, disinfection effect of only using UV-C is very low.

Marine pathogenic bacteria, such as Streptococcus parauberis, Edwardsiella tarda and Vibrio harveyi, can cause lethal infections in farmed fish, ozone and antibiotics, are employed to sterilize waters used for rearing fish to mitigate this threat. The most widely used method is treatment with sodium hypochlorite solution. However, the maintenance of a constant concentration of chlorine in rearing waters can be difficult. We investigated the potential of a mixed oxidant (MO) solution generated by electrolysis of sea water to improve water quality. We measured the survival rates of fish pathogenic bacteria exposed to different concentrations of MO (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 MO) and sodium hypochlorite (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 ppm) for various lengths of time (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min). We found a time-dependent decrease in the survival rates of the tested pathogenic microorganisms. The sterilization effect of the MO solution on pathogenic organisms was greater than that of sodium hypochlorite for gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. We conclude that MO solution produced by electrolysis could be used to maintain a constant chlorine concentration in aquaculture systems.

Our study was carried out to determine the control efficacy of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for violet root rot caused by Helicobasidium mompa in apple. The experiment was conducted in the farm located at Chungbuk province in South Korea from 2014 to 2016. When infected apple trees were treated at least two or three times with 31.25 and 62.5 ml/l available chlorine content in NaOCl, it greatly increased the rooting of rootstock, and restored the tree crown density by 44.4-60.5%. In addition, the number of commercial fruit setting was increased by 54.3-64.5%, and the total starch content in shoots was significantly higher than other non-treated apple trees. However, the untreated disease control and thiophanate-methyl WP treated trees showed the symptom of dieback. Therefore, our results indicate that the drenching treatment of NaOCl with 31.25-62.5 ml/l available chlorine content more than two times from late fall to early spring could effectively control the violet root rot and recover tree vigor up to 60%.

Background: Disinfection is essential to provide drinking water from a water source. The disinfection process mainly consists of the use of chlorine and ozone, but when chlorine is used as a disinfectant, the problem of disinfection by-products arises. In order to resolve the issue of disinfection by-products, electro-chlorination technology that produces chlorine-based disinfectants from salt water through electrochemical principles should be applied. Objectives: This study surveys the possibility of optimally producing active chlorine from synthetic NaCl solutions using an electro-chlorination system through RSM. Methods: Response surface methodology (RSM) has been used for modeling and optimizing a variety of water and wastewater treatment processes. This study surveys the possibility of optimally producing active chlorine from synthetic saline solutions using electrolysis through RSM. Various operating parameters, such as distance of electrodes, sodium chloride concentration, electrical potential, and electrolysis time were evaluated. Results: Various operating parameters, such as distance of electrodes, sodium chloride concentration, electrical potential, and electrolysis time were evaluated. A central composite design (CCD) was applied to determine the optimal experimental factors for chlorine production. Conclusions: The concentration of the synthetic NaCl solution and the distance between electrodes had the greatest influence on the generation of hypochlorite disinfectant. The closer the distance between the electrodes and the higher the concentration of the synthetic NaCl solution, the more hypochlorous acid disinfectant was produced.

1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0% active Cl/g starch를 포함하는 sodium hypochlorite 용액으로 pH 7.0에서 감자전분을 산화시켜 이화학적인 성질을 측정하였다. 산화 전분의 카르복실기 함량은 사용한 활성 염소농도에 비례하였고, 물결합력과 알칼리수, 용해도는 산화 정도가 높을수록 증가하였다. 청가와 요오드흡착특성에서는 산화에 의해 아밀로오스 구조가 변화되었음을 알 수 있었고, 광투과도와 DSC에 의한 호화양상에서는 산화 정도가 클수록 낮은 온도에서 호화되는 것으로 나타났다. X선 회절도와 주사전자 현미경으로 살펴 본 전분 입자의 형태로부터 산화는 주로 입자 표면의 무정형 부분에서 일어난 것으로 추정되었다.

Giardia lamblia is a parasitic protozoa which is transmitted in the form of a cyst through untreated water and also treated drinking water. Since its presence in water has led to frequent outbreaks of giardiasis and death in many countries, the removal and disinfection of this protozoan cyst from the water supply are of great concern for public health. This study examined the disinfection characteristics of G. lamblia cysts isolated from a Korean patient with giardiasis. When using sodium hypochlorite including 5 or 10 ppm chlorine, the killing rate was initially rapid, however, the disinfection slowed down and a 3log reduction could not be achieved even after 2h. The disinfection effectiveness was also reduced at a lower temperature, thereby implying that the risk o a giardiasis outbreak will be higher in the winter season. A CT (concentration$.$time) curve was constructed based on the results with sodium hypochlorite for use in designing and predicting disinfection performance. The organic chlorination disinfectant SDIS (sodium dichloroisocyanurate) produced a lower pH and a much higher residual effect than sodium hypochlorite. The disinfection of cysts by SDIC continued steadily throughout 2h of contact, although the initial killing rate was lower than that with sodium hypochlorite.

A previously healthy 57-year-old woman with dyspnea and wheezing presented to the emergency department a few minutes after exposure to unknown gas from mixing bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and cleaning agent (hydrochloric acid) at work place. Initial physical examination revealed severe wheezing on both whole lung fields, but the chest radiograph was normal. Arterial blood gas analysis showed only moderate hypoxemia. The patient was treated with oxygen, $\beta$adrenergic bronchodilators, antihistamines and corticosteroids, after then symptoms were improved. And the patient discharged against medical advice. We report a rare case of reactive airways dysfuntion syndrome from chlorine gas exposure.
