β¦ Synopsis
The phallotoxin-mediated protection of bovine pancreatic deoxyribonuclease I from specific inhibition by rabbit muscle actin has been employed for the assay of pballotoxins. The use of this assay permits the quantification of as little as 6.3 ng of phalloidin. Phallotoxin concentrations are determined in crude extracts of carpophores from several Amanita species. On the basis of this assay, Amanita subafliacea contains as much as 8.1 mg phallotoxin/g dry weight. Amanita verna contains 0.02-0.03 mg/g dry weight. Levels of phallotoxin, which would have been undetectable by previous methods, are found in crude extracts of specimens of A. mutabilis and A. rubescens.

A new method for the direct determination of reduced and oxidized Mo species (Mo (V) and Mo (VI)) in seawater was developed and used for the first time. The method includes the complexation of Mo (V) with tartrate, solid phase extraction of the Mo (V)-tartrate complex by a XAD 7HP resin, followed by
