This process leads to the conversion of Fe(III) containing passive film species to soluble Fe(II) oxides and hydroxides. The reduction process triggers the acceleration of general and local corrosion processes. Electron transfer mechanisms are not yet fully understood. In literature it has been controversially discussed to which extend secreted electron shuttles contribute to the extracellular electron transfer (EET). To understand the chemical and electrochemical interaction mechanisms of MRB with steel surfaces this project combines a variety of in-situ techniques. The changes in oxide chemistry on Fe/steel surfaces in the presence of biomolecules and MRB are under investigation using a newly designed electrochemical cell for in situ XANES (x-ray absorption near edge structure) spectroscopy. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (eQCM) studies support the spectroscopic investigations to gain information about the kinetics of attachment processes and changes in biofilm viscosity. The biofilm structure and composition as well as cell viability are investigated by complementary ex situ spectroscopic and microscopic analysis. Combining spectroscopic techniques and eQCM data with electrochemical measurements, biological processes and the resulting degradation of steel surfaces can be observed in a non-destructive manner. Selecting model systems and a defined biological medium allows the determination of individual effects of diverse surface and environmental parameters. The fundamental understanding of bacterial attachment mechanisms and initial steps of biofilm formation will contribute to the development of new antifouling strategies.

T1 - SR-TXRF-XANES of indoor aerosol samples at BESSY II and ELETTRA N2 - Airborne particulate matter is an issue of growing concern in industrialized countries. Particles with diameters of less than 10 μm, in particular those with less 2.5 μm, are of special concern, as they can enter the human lungs and contribute to various cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. As the composition and health effects of airborne particles in urban, rural and industrial outdoor air has been studied abundantly, our focus lies on the analysis of airborne particle samples collected indoors, which may also have a significant effect on human health, depending on the chemical composition of the particles and the chemical bonding state, in which elements are present. This chemical speciation can be obtained using X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis, which requires a tunable excitation source and therefore has to be carried out at synchrotron facilities. For this work, samples were collected in office rooms of the Atominstitut building. The BAMline at BESSYII, Berlin, features a double-multilayer monochromator (DMM) and a double-crystal monochromator (DCM). The DCM offers an energy resolution E/ΔE of around 103, which makes it suitable for X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) applications. The Atominstitut SR-TXRF vacuum chamber, formerly located at HASYLAB, Beamline L, is now available at the BAMline. The chamber offers a sample changer for up to 8 quartz carriers suitable for total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis (TXRF) and was equipped with a 30 mm² silicon drift detector (SDD). Aerosol samples were produced using a modified three-stage Dekati™ impactor. For this work, only the coarse (2.5 to 10 μm, Stage 2) and the fine particle fraction (1 to 2.5 μm, Stage 3), were of interest. XANES analysis was performed for the elements Cr, Cu and Zn. Oxidation states of these 3 elements will be presented. The X-ray Fluorescence beamline at ELETTRA operates in partnership with the IAEA an ultra-high vacuum instrument with a 7-axis manipulator suitable for a variety of X-ray analytical techniques, such as grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence analysis (GI-XRF), TXRF, X-ray reflectometry (XRR) and XANES. Samples were produced using a four-stage Sioutas Personal Cascade Impactor. With this impactor, it is possible to produce sizefractionated samples down to the sub-μm range (Stages: A > 2.5 μm, B 1 to 2.5 μm, C 0.5 to 1 μm and D 0.25 to 0.5 μm). Direct sampling was performed on siliconized 25 mm Si wafers suitable for TXRF. Cu-K edge SR-TXRF-XANES analysis was carried out for samples of all impactor stages. Results of these experiments will be shown.

T1 - Investigating Wilson´s disease by elemental bioimaging and speciation analysis using LA-ICP-MS, μXRF and XANES N2 - Wilson´s disease (WD) is a rare genetic disorder of the copper metabolism, causing the accumulation of copper in different organs, including the liver, the central nervous system and cornea. This way, WD initiates manifold hepatic, neurological or psychiatric symptoms. To learn about the elemental distribution and present species in WD, liver samples were analyzed by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), micro X-ray fluorescence (μXRF) and X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy (XANES). Within this work, LA-ICP-MS was applied to study the distribution of copper and iron in human liver samples, which were collected by a liver biopsy of WD and control patients within a medical investigation. The analysis by LA-ICP-MS was performed with a 213 nm Nd:YAG laser using a spatial resolution of 10 μm and a scan rate of 20 μm/s. In a next step, copper and iron were quantified by LA-ICP-MS using homemade matrix-matched standards made of gelatin. Results showed an inhomogeneous copper and iron distribution in human liver with hotspots up to several thousand micrograms per gram liver within the hepatocytes. Additionally, results for the elemental distribution in WD were validated by means of synchrotron radiation-based μXRF with a beam size of 4 μm at the BAMline at BESSYII (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin). Furthermore, XANES was performed to identify the present oxidation states of copper in WD, indicating a mixture of copper(I) and copper(II) within the liver tissue. In the contemporary medicine, rhodanine staining is routinely used to determine the copper distribution in liver tissues. Nevertheless, this method does not provide results with a high sensitivity in comparison to LA-ICP-MS. Therefore, the presented LA-ICP-MS method offers a new possible diagnostic tool. These results may also contribute to a better understanding of Wilson´s disease and its development.
