The development of the microbiologically influenced corrosion ( MIC ) -specific inductively coupled plasma-time of flight-mass spectrometry ( ICP-ToF-MS ) analytical method presented here, in combination with the investigation of steel-MIC interactions, contributes significantly to progress in instrumental MIC analysis. For this, a MIC-specific staining procedure was developed, which ensures the analysis of intact cells. It allows the analysis of archaea at a single cell level, which is extremely scarce compared to other well-characterized organisms. The detection method revealed elemental selectivity for the corrosive methanogenic strain Methanobacterium -affiliated IM1. Hence, the possible uptake of individual elements from different steel samples was investigated and results showed the cells responded at a single-cell level to the different types of supplemented elements and displayed the abilities to uptake chromium, vanadium, titanium, cobalt, and molybdenum from solid metal surfaces. The methods developed and information obtained will be used in the future to elucidate underlying mechanisms, compliment well-developed methods, such as SEM-EDS, and develop novel material protection concepts.
ICP-ToF (time of flight) MS enables the analysis of the multi-element fingerprint of single cells. The single cell ICP-ToF-MS is used in the presented poster for the analysis of archaea involved in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of steel. By means of sc-ICP-ToF-MS, the possible uptake of individual elements from the respective steel is investigated - the information obtained will be used in the future to elucidate underlying mechanisms and develop possible material protection concepts. The work combines modern methods of analytical sciences with materials.

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a highly unpredictable process dictated by the environment, microorganisms, and the respective electron source. Interaction pathways between cells and the metal surface remain unclear. The development of this novel single cell-inductively coupled plasma-time of flight-mass spectrometry analytical method and a MIC-specific staining procedure facilitate the investigation of steel-MIC interactions. With this it is possible to analyze the multi-elemental fingerprint of individual cells. The detection method revealed elemental selectivity for the corrosive methanogenic archaeal strain Methanobacterium-affiliated IM1. The interface between material and environmental analysis thus receives special attention, e.g., when considering MIC on solid steel. Hence, the possible uptake of individual elements from different steel samples is investigated. Results showed the cells responded at a single-cell level to the different types of supplemented elements and displayed the abilities to interact with chromium, vanadium, titanium, cobalt, and molybdenum from solid metal surfaces. The information obtained will be used in the future to elucidate underlying mechanisms and develop possible material protection concepts, thus combining modern methods of analytical sciences with materials research.

Materials in contact with the environment release e.g., metal-ions, elemental species and/or (nano-)particles. Once these species and/or particles are released, they are ingested by organisms and cells and thus, might have a negative impact on the environment. Thus, identification as well as quantification of potentially harmful substances is of utmost importance and highly needed to assess ecotoxicological impact of (emerging) pollutants.
The oral presentation provides an overview on the power of elemental analytical techniques, in particular ICP-MS as well as HR-CS-GFMAS in environmental research. Current research topics from Division 1.1 @ BAM - Inorganic trace analysis will be highlighted:
i) Elemental Speciation & Isotope analysis - new tools:
Among elemental species separation and quantification, one of the main challenges in environmental elemental speciation analysis is the distinction between anthropogenic and natural elemental species. The on-line combination of elemental speciation and isotope analysis combines “the best from both worlds” - species specific isotopic information becomes available.
As an application example the analysis of current anti-fouling agents via CE/MCICP-MS will be highlighted.
ii) HR-CS-GFMAS for PFC analysis:
Per- and polyfluorinated compounds (PFC) are emerging contaminants in particular in soil and surface water samples. Due to the large number of compounds (>4700), target analytical methods are not sufficient and sum parameter methods for organically bound fluorine are highly needed.
High resolution-continuum source-graphite furnace molecular absorption spectroscopy (HR-CS-GFMAS) based methods for organically bound fluorine analysis will be presented. Application examples (soil and surface water) will be highlighted.
iii) Single cell-ICP-ToF-MS - ecotox. assessment:
Single cell and single organism analysis for e.g. ecotoxicological/medicinal assessment are hot topics in the research field of ICP-MS. In particular ICP-ToF-MS is a powerful, emerging techniques in terms of single cell/particle analysis.
Automated single cell/diatom-ICP-ToF-MS as a potential tool in ecotoxicological testing will be presented.
Up to now, different analytical methods for single cell analysis exist focusing on key features such as size, shape, morphology and elemental composition. The combination of the latest ICP-MS techniques - ICP-ToF-MS - together with the latest developments in the field of sample delivery - micro droplet generator (MDG) – will allow a Deep insight into the composition and size of cells.
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is an oxidation of metals affected by the presence or activity (or both) of microorganisms e.g. Shewanella Putrefaciens in biofilms on the surface of the corroding material. As this can happen for example in the soil on iron pipes of water pipes, in oil tanks or on steel sheet piling, there is great interest in MIC research, not only from various industrial sectors, but also from the environmental aspect.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) nowadays appear in close to 24% of consumer products that contain engineered nanomaterials. Thus, they are expected to be released into the environment, where their fate and effect are still undetermined. Considering the evidenced efficacy of the single particle Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (sp ICP-MS) technique in the study of nanomaterials, this work reports on the use of sp ICP-MS along with an online dilution sample introduction system for the direct analysis of untreated and spiked seawater samples, as part of a larger scale experiment studying the fate of Ag (ionic and nanoparticles) in seawater mesocosm systems. Silver nanoparticles coated with branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI@AgNPs) or ionic silver (Ag+) were introduced gradually into the seawater mesocosm tanks at very low, environmentally relevant concentrations (50 ng Ag L− 1 per day, for 10 consecutive days, up to a total of 500 ng Ag L− 1 ), and samples were collected and analyzed daily, within a consistent time window. Using very low detector dwell time (75 μs) and specialized data treatment, information was obtained on the nanoparticles’ size distribution and particle number concentration, as well as the ionic silver content, of both the AgNPs and the Ag+ treated seawater mesocosm tanks. The results for the AgNP treated samples indicated the rapid degradation of the added silver particles, and the subsequent increase of ionic silver, with recoveries close to 100% for the first days of the experiment. On the other hand, particle formation was observed in the Ag+ treated seawater tanks, and even though the number concentration of silver-containing nanoparticles increased throughout the experiment, the amount of silver per particle remained relatively constant from the early days of the experiment. In addition, the online dilution sample introduction system for the ICP-MS proved capable of handling the untreated seawater matrix without significant contamination issues and downtime, while the low dwell time and data treatment procedure developed were shown to be suitable for the analysis of nanomaterials at the low nm-scale, despite the complex and heavy matrix introduced into the ICP-MS.
