Hydrodynamic Stimulation of Plankton Bioluminescence
Fish do it. Dolphins do it. Swimmers do it. Surface ships do it. In fact, the last German U-boat detected in the Great War was sunk because it did it. What they all do is create flow fields energetic enough to create bioluminescent "footprints." Because bioluminescent organisms are ubiquitous (particularly dinoflagellates, common members of marine plankton) flow-stimulated light emission repres...
متن کاملDetermination of complement-mediated killing of bacteria by viability staining and bioluminescence.
Complement-mediated killing of bacteria was monitored by flow cytometric, luminometric, and conventional plate counting methods. A flow cytometric determination of bacterial viability was carried out by using dual staining with a LIVE/DEAD BacLight bacterial viability kit. In addition to the viable cell population, several other populations emerged in the fluorescence histogram, and there was a...
متن کاملMyristic acid stimulation of bacterial bioluminescence in "aldehyde" mutants.
The involvement of long chain aldehyde in bacterial luminescence was known both from its being required for light emission in the in vitro reaction with pure luciferase and from its ability to stimulate luminescence in vivo in a certain class of dark "aldehyde" mutants. We have found that the luminescence of some (but not all) of such aldehyde mutants is also stimulated by long chain aliphatic ...
متن کاملPhotoreactivation in humans.
Photoreactivation is a DNA repair pathway that requires the presence of a photoreactivating enzyme, DNA photolyase. DNA photolyase recognizes and binds specifically to ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in DNA. Exposure of the photolyase-dimer complex to wavelengths in the range of 300-500 nm results, upon absorption of a photon, in the return of the dimerized pyr...
متن کاملPhotoreactivation in airborne Mycobacterium parafortuitum.
Photoreactivation was observed in airborne Mycobacterium parafortuitum exposed concurrently to UV radiation (254 nm) and visible light. Photoreactivation rates of airborne cells increased with increasing relative humidity (RH) and decreased with increasing UV dose. Under a constant UV dose with visible light absent, the UV inactivation rate of airborne M. parafortuitum cells decreased by a fact...
