the possibility of application of 4-nitrocatechol (4-nc) - tetrazolium salt - organic solventsystems for liquid-liquid extraction-spectrophotometric vanadium (iv and v) speciation wasstudied. six commercially available tetrazolium salts (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (ttc),3-(2-naphtyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium chloride (tetrazolium violet, tv); 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazol)-2,5-diphenyltetra...

Nitro blue tetrazolium is a powerful electron acceptor which is widely used to localize NADPH-dependent flavin-containing enzymes known as NADPH diaphorases. By accepting electrons, nitro blue tetrazolium is known to inhibit the activity of these enzymes. The present study examined the effects of intravenous nitro blue tetrazolium on arterial blood pressure and regional blood flows in urethane-...

Inrat liver microsomal fractions oxidation of adrenaline was effected by superoxide anion radicals (A), whereas cytochrome c, 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol and ferricyanide accepted electrons from NADPH-specific filavoprotein only directly. Nitro Blue Tetrazolium was reduced both by 02and by tbe direct acceptance of electrons. Elevation ofpH and addition of menadione shift the Nitro Blue Tetraz...

In order to decide whether in the bacterial cell the enzymes of the respiratory chain are located in "particulate elements" (1) or in the plasma membrane (2) we investigated the reduction of potassium tellurite in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. For the first time in 1962 (3), and in more detail in 1964 (4), we reported that with Bacillus subtilis we had found that reduction products ...

In Bacillus subtilis the reduction of potassium tellurite and of tetranitro-blue tetrazolium (TNBT) give comparable results: reduced products appear deposited in particular membranous organelles. For this reason these specialized organelles are considered to be chondrioids (1-3). In the Gram-negative Proteus vulgaris similar membranous structures were never observed by us (4, 5). Therefore it i...

The formation and liquid-liquid extraction of ion-association complexes between gallium(III)-4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) anionic chelates and cations of four ditetrazolium chlorides (DT2+) were studied: Neotetrazolium chloride (NTC), Blue Tetrazolium chloride (BTC), Nitro Blue Tetrazolium chloride (NBT) and Tetranitro Blue Tetrazolium chloride (TNBT). The optimum extraction-spectrophotomet...
