Biphasic fluence-response curves and derived action spectra for light-induced absorbance changes in Phycomyces mycelium

The photoresponses of Phycomyces, including phototropism and photocontrol of sporangiophore development, are mediated primarily by blue and UV light. Recent results on these two responses indicated a subsidiary role for green light. We have measured in vivo light-induced absorbance changes (LIAC) in mycelial samples of a caroteneless (carB) strain to compare the effectiveness of UV, blue, and green light. In the dual-wavelength kinetic mode of the spectrophotometer, measuring wavelengths of 445 and 470 nm were chosen, because green light produces substantial absorbance changes between these two wavelengths. Fluence-response curves were measured for 13 wavelengths between 365 and 530 nm, and for variable exposure times between 0.5 and 320 s. With one exception (365 nm), the curves were biphasic. The low fluence component was generally sigmoidal with an abrupt rise. The high fluence component failed to reach saturation for the fluences tested (less than 70 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹). Using the inferred threshold fluences of these two components as criterion effects, we obtained two action spectra. For the low fluence component, the action spectrum showed major peaks at 394, 450, and 530 nm and a minor peak at 416 nm. The high fluence component action spectrum showed very little sensitivity in the blue region. The major sensitivity was in the near UV, and a relatively small peak appeared in the green part of the spectrum at 507 nm. The biphasic character of the fluence-response curves suggests that two photosystems are responsible for the absorbance changes. The low fluence photosystem is sensitive mainly to blue and UV light and may thus represent a physiological blue-light photoreceptor. The high fluence photosystem is clearly not of this type. It (and perhaps the low fluence system as well) may mediate some of the subsidiary physiological effects of green light.     

Direct spectrophotometric method for the determination of cobalt with indane 1,2,3-trionetrioxime in aqueous medium

A simple, sensitive and selective Spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of cobalt using indane 1,2,3-trionetrioxime (ITT): The method is based on the colour reaction between ITT and cobalt(II) in sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer (pH 4.5–7.5) medium. The calibration graph for measurement at 320 nm is linear in the range 1.18–23.60g of cobalt per 25 ml, with molar absorptivity of 5.32×10⁴1mol^–1 cm^–1. The effect of interfering ions has been studied and the method was applied to the determination of cobalt in alloys, with good results.

Bestimmung Von Molybdän Nach Extraction Mit O,O,S - Triäthyldithiophosphat

Abstract

The interaction of molybdenum(V) with potassium thiocyanate in a medium of O,O,S-triethyldithiophosphate [(C₂H₅O)₂P(S)SC₂H₅] and ethanol at a ratio 4:1 has been studied.

The stability constant of the molybdenum(V) thiocyanate complex was determined to be 7.6 × 10² with a molar ratio Mo(v) : SCN of 1:1. A new method based on the formation of the molybdenum-thiocyanate complex in the organic phase has been developed for the determination of molybdenum in steel.

Abstract

The use of partial least-squares spectrophotometric calibration for the simultaneous determination of suppositories in a multicomponent formulation is presented. This method is applied to the deternination of acetaminophen and phenobarbital in suppository preparations. The results show that these components in a molar ratio of about 61:1 in suppositories have been determined simultaneously with high precision.

Kinetic Spectrophotometric Determination of Oxalic Acid Based on the Catalytic Oxidation of Bromophenol Blue by Dichromate

 A sensitive catalytic method is developed for the spectrophotometric determination of oxalic acid. It is based on the catalytic action of oxalic acid on a new indicator reaction – the oxidation of Bromophenol Blue by dichromate in dilute sulfuric acid medium. The reaction rate is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance at 600 nm after quenching the reaction with sodium hydroxide. A calibration graph from 0.1 to 8.0 μg mL⁻¹ of oxalic acid and a detection limit of 0.04 μg mL⁻¹ was obtained. The applicability of this method was demonstrated by the determination of oxalic acid in water extracts from vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms and fresh kidney beans. Received October 18, 1999. Revision June 14, 2000.     

Application of Internal Standard for Micro Extraction– Spectrophotometric Determination of Bismuth in Pharmaceutical Formulations

 A micro extraction – spectrophotometric procedure is developed for the determination of bismuth in pharmaceutical formulations. The procedure is based on the extraction of tetraiodobismuthate(III) ion paired with benzyltributylammonium cation into chloroform. The application of Nile Blue as internal standard (IS) enabled good analytical performance for micro-scale analysis. The ratio between the absorbances measured at 491 nm (bismuth complex) and at 632 nm (IS) was taken as the analytical signal. The procedure was carried out in Eppendorf tubes, lowering significantly the use of reagents and the volume of organic solvent. In the calibration range up to 60 mgċl⁻¹, the linear regression coefficient was 0.9999, the CV for 15 mgċl⁻¹ and for 50 mgċl⁻¹ Bi were 1.6% and 0.7% respectively. The results obtained in the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations were in good agreement with the results of EDTA titration method. Received November 25, 1999. Revision February 14, 2000.
