<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Since the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in south of China was recognized at the end of February 2003, a large amount of chemical disinfectors have been used in epidemic area, which has caused public concern on human health and environment. And further, the safety of using air-condition in SARS lazarettos has become an urgent problem with the coming of summer. Photo catalysis by titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>
) is an alternative to conventional chemical disinfectors <xref rid="BIB1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>
, <xref rid="BIB2" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>
. However, this technology can only work with ultraviolet light and requires a relatively complex device. On the other hand, surface science and catalysis studies show that oxygen molecules can adsorb and dissociate into active oxygen atoms on some metal surfaces <xref rid="BIB3" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>
, <xref rid="BIB4" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>
, and the oxidation of CO and volatile chemical compounds occurs over some supported metal catalysts at room temperature <xref rid="BIB5" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>
, <xref rid="BIB6" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>
, <xref rid="BIB7" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>
. These facts strongly suggest that those catalysts are very promising to be used in air-condition systems for air disinfection. Here, we report the inactivation efficiency of Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
to SARS coronavirus, bacteria and yeast.</p>
</sec>
<sec><label>2</label>
<title>Experimental</title>
<p>The supported catalysts, Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
(Ag 5 wt%) and Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
(Cu 10 wt%) were prepared by an impregnation method. The wet sample was dried at 393 K for 12 h, and then calcined in air at 873 K for 3 h. Before using, the Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
, Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and A1<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
powders were pressed into wafers of ca. 20 mg/cm<sup>2</sup>

and Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
, <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>
and <italic>D. polymorphus</italic>
suspensions (10<sup>6</sup>
CFU/ml) were dropped onto the prepared wafers and stayed at room temperature for 5,10 and 20 min. <italic>E. coli</italic>
and <italic>D. polymorphus</italic>
were then washed with 500 μl PBS and spread onto LB and YPD agar plates, respectively. Both bacteria and yeast cultures of 48 h revealed no colony after treatment with Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
for 5 min, but 16–19 yeast colonies were found using Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
. On the other hand, 10<sup>5</sup>
–10<sup>6</sup>
colonies of <italic>E. coli</italic>
and <italic>D. polymorphus</italic>
were, respectively, detected in control tests with Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
wafers and filter papers. The inactivation of <italic>D. polymorphus</italic>
by the two catalysts was supported by light-microscopy observation. When the viability stain method with trypan blue was applied to catalytically inactivated yeast cells, a large number of strongly coloured cells appeared after treated for 5 min using Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and 10 min using Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
in contrast to the control.</p>
<p><xref rid="FIG1" ref-type="fig">Figs. 1(a) and (b)</xref>
show the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of yeast cells adsorbed on Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
at room temperature in air for 5 min. The cell surfaces were densely covered with nanograde granules. Some of cells collapsed and led to release of inclusions (<xref rid="FIG1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1(b)</xref>
). These SEM images show that the yeast cells are dramatically destructed on the Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
surface, which indicates that the inactivation is caused by chemical reaction and decomposition. However, <xref rid="FIG1" ref-type="fig">Figs. 1(c) and (d)</xref>
SEM images show that the cell surfaces were quite smooth on the Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
wafer even though most of them were inactivated.<fig id="FIG1"><label>Fig. 1</label>

CFU/ml yeast cell was loaded on the surfaces of the wafers at room temperature in air. After 5 min, the wafers were fixed with glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide, drained with ethanol/water in increasing concentrations of ethanol. The absolute ethanol was replaced by dimethoxymethane, and the samples underwent critical point drying with CO<sub>2</sub>
. The wafers were glued onto stages with conductive silver and metallized with gold. The samples were microscoped and photographed with a scanning electron microscope (Fei QUANTA 200).</p>

<p>To see the eradication effect on SARS coronavirus, 10<sup>6</sup>
PFU/ml TCID<sub>50</sub>
viruses (100 μl) were loaded onto the wafers of Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and the viral infectivity was measured in Vero cells. The eluted solutions of all the tested wafers after treatment for 5 and 20 min did not show detectable cytopathic effect (CPE) in Vero cells 48 h postinfection, whereas the eluted solution of the filter paper used as a control induced typical CPE.</p>
<p>In order to confirm the killing capacity to DNA viruses, 100 μl of 10<sup>6</sup>
PFU/ml recombinant baculoviruses that express hamster PrP protein <xref rid="BIB8" ref-type="bibr">[8]</xref>
in insect cell Sf9 were loaded onto the Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
wafer. No distinct CPE could be found in Sf9 cells using the elution of Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
wafer treated for 5 and 20 min, respectively. Western blot assays with PrP specific monoclonal antibody revealed that the recombinant virus treated with Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
wafer could not produce any detectable PrP protein. However, the elution of the control filter revealed the expected band. The results of inactivation to the three microbes are summarized in <xref rid="TBL1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
. In conclusion, the SARS coronavirus, bacteria and yeast are completely inactivated in 5 min on Ag catalyst surface and in 20 min on Cu catalyst surface at room temperature in air.<table-wrap position="float" id="TBL1"><label>Table 1</label>

<p>The mechanism of inactivation for these microbes on Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
surfaces is still not clear, but we can exclude the factor of dehydration, because Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
, Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
have a similar capability of water adsorption. One can also note that the remains of yeast cells on Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
are quite different, though they are all inactivated, indicating different mechanisms for the two catalysts. It is worth while to point out that both Ag/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
and Cu/Al<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>3</sub>
surfaces did not show any disinfection for bacteria and yeast in a close environment without oxygen, which strongly indicates that the inactivation is caused by catalytic oxidation rather than by toxicity of heavy metals.</p>
