The Quantum Yield of Oxygen Production by Chloroplasts Suspended in Solutions Containing Ferric Oxalate
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The quantum yield of oxygen liberation by spinach and Tradescantia chloroplasts suspended in solutions containing ferric oxalate and potassium ferricyanide varied from 0.013 to 0.080. 2. It was concluded that the nature of this oxygen liberation reaction is not fundamentally different from the formation of oxygen in normal photosynthesis, with respect to its light efficiency.

Singlet Oxygen Production Photosensitized by Fluorescein in Reversed Micellar Solutions
The quantum yield of singlet oxygen production was investigated in dodecylammonium propionate reversed micellar solutions containing 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran and fluorescein as photosensitizer. The quantum yield was highly enhanced by the binding of fluorescein to reversed micelles, and increased with decreasing the solubilized water content in reversed micelles. Results obtained was discussed...
متن کاملLigand-enhanced reactive oxidant generation by nanoparticulate zero-valent iron and oxygen.
The reaction of zero-valent iron or ferrous iron with oxygen produces reactive oxidants capable of oxidizing organic compounds. However, the oxidant yield in the absence of ligands is too low for practical applications. The addition of oxalate, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to oxygen-containing solutions of nanoparticulate zero-valent iron (nZVI) signifi...
متن کاملThe Effects of Some Inhibitors of Photosynthesis upon the Photochemical Reduction of a Dye by Isolated Chloroplasts.
Physiological research directed upon the activity of'isolated chloroplasts has been spurred by the belief that the photochemical activity which chloroplasts exhibit in vitro is part of photosynthesis. If this is so, then those components of the photosynthetic apparatus which are active in isolated chloroplasts can thus be brought into closer range for study. The object of the present work was t...
متن کاملHydrous Ferric Oxides in Sediment Catalyze Formation of Reactive Oxygen Species during Sulfide Oxidation
This article describes the formation of reactive oxygen species as a result of the oxidation of dissolved sulfide by Fe(III)-containing sediments suspended in oxygenated seawater over the pH range 7.00 and 8.25. Sediment samples were obtained from across the coastal littoral zone in South Carolina, US, at locations from the beach edge to the forested edge of a Spartina dominated estuarine salt ...
متن کاملVeratryl alcohol-dependent production of molecular oxygen by lignin peroxidase.
Veratryl alcohol- and H2O2-dependent production of oxygen by lignin peroxidase isozyme H2 (LiPH2) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium was investigated. Veratryl alcohol oxidation by LiPH2 decreased with increasing concentrations of H2O2 while oxygen evolution increased. The absorption spectrum of the LiPH2 in these experiments indicated that it was in the compound II state. We propose that O2 prod...
