Quantitative Type Analysis of Olefinic Hydrocarbons by Infrared Spectrophotometry

Olefinic Hydrocarbons Biosynthesized by Arthrobacter Species †

Arthrobacter aurescens TC1, Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6, Arthrobacter crystallopoietes, and Arthrobacter oxydans produce long-chain monoalkenes, predominantly cis-3,25-dimethyl-13-heptacosene. Four other Arthrobacter strains did not form alkenes. The level of cis-3,25-dimethyl-13-heptacosene in Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6 remained proportional to cell mass during growth. cis-3,25-Dime...

Portable Refrigerant Identification by Near Infrared Spectrophotometry

Infrared spectrophotometry of enteric bacteria.

Infrared spectrophotometry is rapidly assuming an important place in the biological sciences. Its value derives from the fact that each organic compound has a characteristic and distinct infrared spectrum that can be used to identify it (Randall et al., 1949). The biologist working with cells or tissues is confronted by a highly complex mixture of substances. The infrared spectrum of a cell, th...

Near-infrared detection of flow injection analysis by acoustooptic tunable filter-based spectrophotometry.

The instrumentation development of a near-infrared (near-IR) spectrophotometer based on an acoustooptic tunable filter (AOTF) and its application as a detector for flow injection analysis (FIA) are reported. In addition to being compact and all solid state, this AOTF-based instrument is very sensitive, has high resolution, and can be rapidly scanned. The latter advantage make it uniquely suited...
