ξ-potential and surface dye-ability of poly(vinyl alcohol) fiber with different degree of formalization in a cationic dye solution

Summary The surface dyeability of the poly(vinyl alcohol) fiber with different degree of formalization was studied by measuring -potential of the fiber in alkaline aqueous solutions (pH 10) of a cationic dye Methylene Blue. With the increase in the dye concentration, the sign of the -potential of the fiber changed from negative to positive and thereafter the positive value approximated to saturated value, and the amount of dye adsorbed (expressed in mol/cm²-fiber) increased also. These results may possibly be attributed to the formation of the electrostatic bond between the fiber and the dye. The linear relations were found between and logC _d and its slope did not change with rise of temperature. The free energy of dyeing G (negative) calculated from the slope of the -logC _id curve, etc. increased with increasing the degree of formalization of the fiber. This fact corresponds to the increase in the surface dye adsorption with increasing the degree of formalization. With increasing the degree of formalization, the heat of dyeing H (negative) increased and the entropy of dyeing S (positive) decreased. The positive value of S for each fiber, suggests the formation of hydrophobic bond as a driving force to the dyeing of Methylene blue on the fiber surface in addition to the electrostatic bond.This paper is Part XXVII in a series on Studies on -potentials and Surface Dyeability of Natural and Synthetic Fibers in Dye Solution.

Solvatochromism in Binary Solvent Mixtures by Means of a Penta‐tert‐butyl Pyridinium N‐Phenolate Betaine Dye

The solvatochromic behavior of a penta‐tert‐butyl prydinium N‐phenolate betaine dye was studied using UV‐visible spectrophotometry in several binary mixture solvents. The solvent polarity parameter, E_T (1) (kcal. mol^?1) was calculated from the position of the longest‐wavelength intramolecular charge transfer absorption band of this penta‐tert‐butyl betaine dye. For binary solvent mixtures, all plots of E_T (1) versus the mole fraction of a more polar component are nonlinear owing to preferential solvation of the probe by one component of the binary solvent mixture. In the computation of E_T (1) it was assumed that the two solvents mixed interact to form a common structure with an E_T (1) value not always intermediate between those of the two solvents mixed. The results obtained are explained by the strong synergism observed for some of the binary mixtures with strong hydrogen bond donors (HBD) solvents such as alcohols.     

Anaerobic reduction of a sulfonated azo dye, Congo Red, by sulfate-reducing bacteria

The capacity for anaerobic decolorization of a sulfonated azo dye, Congo Red, by a strain of a sulfate-reducing bacterium was evaluated. After optimizing the growth rate of the bacteria on a simple carbon source and terminal electron acceptor pair, lactate and sulfate, respectively, the effect of the dye concentration on their growth rate was analyzed. The decolorization rate was affected by the dye concentration in the growth medium. The azo-bond cleavage mechanism of reductive decolorization with the formation of benzidine was consistent with the results, as this metabolite was identified by high-performance liquid chromatography. Several fractions of the culture medium, including lysed cell extracts, were examined for the capacity to reduce the azo dye. This reduction capacity was found in the culture medium in which the cells had previously grown. The results showed that the mechanism of reductive decolorization of this sulfonated azo dye was extracellular and nonenzymatic, consistent with the production of sulfide anion by the microorganisms while growing on lactate and sulfate. The sulfide anions were the cause of the reduction leading to the disappearance of color in the medium. To increase the rate of decolorization, the presence of ferrous ion was also necessary together with the lactate and sulfate substrates.     

Simple test system for single molecule recognition force microscopy

We have established an easy-to-use test system for detecting receptor-ligand interactions on the single molecule level using atomic force microscopy (AFM). For this, avidin-biotin, probably the best characterized receptor-ligand pair, was chosen. AFM sensors were prepared containing tethered biotin molecules at sufficiently low surface concentrations appropriate for single molecule studies. A biotin tether, consisting of a 6 nm poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chain and a functional succinimide group at the other end, was newly synthesized and covalently coupled to amine-functionalized AFM tips. In particular, PEG₈₀₀ diamine was glutarylated, the mono-adduct NH₂-PEG-COOH was isolated by ion exchange chromatography and reacted with biotin succinimidylester to give biotin-PEG-COOH which was then activated as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester to give the biotin-PEG-NHS conjugate which was coupled to the aminofunctionalized AFM tip. The motional freedom provided by PEG allows for free rotation of the biotin molecule on the AFM sensor and for specific binding to avidin which had been adsorbed to mica surfaces via electrostatic interactions. Specific avidin-biotin recognition events were discriminated from nonspecific tip-mica adhesion by their typical unbinding force (∼40 pN at 1.4 nN/s loading rate), unbinding length (<13 nm), the characteristic nonlinear force-distance relation of the PEG linker, and by specific block with excess of free d-biotin. The convenience of the test system allowed to evaluate, and compare, different methods and conditions of tip aminofunctionalization with respect to specific binding and nonspecific adhesion. It is concluded that this system is well suited as calibration or start-up kit for single molecule recognition force microscopy.
