Novel electrospun fibrous biocomposites were developed by immobilizing two different sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) biodegrading bacterial strains on electrospun non-porous cellulose acetate (nCA) and porous cellulose acetate (pCA) webs.

The interaction between sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and blends of polyaniline (PANi) and cellulose acetate (CA) is discussed. The diffusion coefficients of SDS in the blends show that the transport process is accompanied by interactions between the diffusant and the polymeric matrix. In the visible absorption spectrum, the interaction between SDS and CA-PANi blends results in a red shift of the maximum absorption wavelength. This behaviour is explained on the basis of alterations in the lamellar phase of the polymer upon SDS sorption. The interactions between SDS and the blend film are of the Langmuir-type. These blends also show an interesting selective behaviour to SDS with respect to a set of similar surfactants.

The detergent-resistance properties of 208 independent isolates of the Enterobacteriaceae have been examined. Of these bacterial strains, 200 were able to grow in the presence of ≥ 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate, including all members of the Klebsielleae tribe. This resistance does not appear to be plasmid encoded. It is proposed that detergent-resistant organisms be termed saponotolerant or saponophilic, by analogy with other microorganisms occupying harsh ecological niches. In contrast to their prevalent resistance to anionic detergents, not one of the 208 strains tested was found to grow in the presence of three different cationic detergents. This sensitivity to cationic detergents may be of significance in combating nosocomial infections.
