Reduction of tetrazolium salts by pleuropneumonialike organisms.
Tetrazolium salts have proved useful as indicators of electron transfer. Compounds such as triphenyltetrazolium chloride' are more practical than indicators like methylene blue since they are converted from a soluble colorless salt to an insoluble formazan in the reduced state. They also provide similar convenience in detecting enzymatic activity and specific sites of such activity (Bielig, Kau...
متن کاملAcceleration of tetrazolium reduction by bacteria.
Conditions were assessed which would permit more rapid recognition of bacterial growth than has been previously reported using tetrazolium salts. Microtitration trays were used. 2-(p-Iodophenyl)-3(p-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride is rapidly reduced by respiring cells in tissue homogenates but is more toxic than other tetrazoliums when added to growing bacterial cultures. Phenazine me...

متن کاملModeling reduction of uranium U(VI) under variable sulfate concentrations by sulfate-reducing bacteria.
The kinetics for the reduction of sulfate alone and for concurrent uranium [U(VI)] and sulfate reduction, by mixed and pure cultures of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) at 21 +/- 3 degrees C were studied. The mixed culture contained the SRB Desulfovibrio vulgaris along with a Clostridium sp. determined via 16S ribosomal DNA analysis. The pure culture was Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (ATCC 7757). ...
متن کاملThe direct colorimetric estimation of reducing sugars and other reducing substances with tetrazolium salts.
Since Kuhn & Jerchel (1941) showed that tetrazolium salts were reduced by bacteria, yeasts and germinating seeds, 2:3:5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride or bromide has come into prominence as a viability testing reagent (Cottrell, 1947) and for vital staining (Mattson, Jensen & Dutcher, 1947). Its specific advantages for this purpose and for the purposes which follow lie in its Eo value of -008 V....
