Zur fluoreszenzmikroskopischen Darstellung von Nesselkapseln

Fresh Cnidaria nematocysts are stained well with the fluorochromes Acridinorange, Coriphosphine, and Pseudoisocyanine. On paraffin sections they can only be demonstrated with Pseudoisocyanine after acid oxydation.     

Enzyme Thermistor Analysis of Penicillin in Standard Solutions and in Fermentation Broth

Immobilized penicillinase was applied in an enzyme thermistor for calorimetric analysis of samples containing penicillin G. Standard solutions as well as extracts from fermentation broth were analyzed. The enzyme was applied bound either to porous glass or, when dealing with crude preparations, to the inner surface of nylon tubing. In the fermentation system studied, high concentrations of penicillin were present, thus allowing dilution to reduce the influence of the composition of the medium on the analysis. The useful linear concentration range was from 0.1 to 100 mM. The coefficient of correlation between analytical results obtained with the present method and those from conventional assays was 0.997.
