โœฆ Synopsis

A method for the localization of pyruvate decarboxylase bands in polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis using 1,2-dianilinoethane in dilute acetic acid as reagent for acetaldehyde formed from pyruvate by the holoenzyme is described. A white condensation product forms in the bands and precipitates within a few minutes. The more or less opaque bands can be viewed and photographed against a dark background and scanned in a densitometer. The detection limit is at about 10 mU pyruvate decarboxylase when the gels are bathed in the staining solution for 20 min. Several other methods were tested and failed to produce satisfactory results.

An activity stain for the detection of L-serine dehydratase in gels is described. After electrophoresis, the gel is incubated with L-serine, and the pyruvate formed is detected by its reaction with 0.6% 1,2-diamino4nitrobenzene in 2 M WC1 at 90ยฐC. A red band on a yellow background indicates the posi

The reduction of ferric iron from microbial iron-binding compounds (siderophores) releases the iron from the siderophore so that it may be utilized by the microorganism. A method to detect aerobic ferrisiderophore reductase activity using ferrozine as a ferrous iron trap is shown to be applicable to
