Abstract: | Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were obtainedfrom dialysed and dried samples of high mol. wt compounds (HMWC)excreted by Ankistrodesmus densus: precipitated with ethanol(A); ethanol soluble (B); and capsular material (C). The singlespectrum of A shows the existence of nitrogen coordination withcopper. The spectra of B show two distinct complexes: one similarto A and another without superhyperfine lines suggesting thepresence of oxygen ligands coordinated with ion. In C the spectraare similar to B with the concentration relation inverted. About20 µ g of ion is chelated by 1 mg of dried HMWC. |
