The toxicity of 14 organotin compounds was investigated by means of two short-term in vitro bioassays, the submitochondrial particle (SMP) test and the Microtox test. The first bioassay makes use of SMPs and is based on the effects of toxicants on reverse electron transport, which is induced by aden

A rapid bioassay for monitoring acute toxicity of wastewater, ground water, and soil and sediment extracts using submitochondrial particles (SMP) has been developed. The assay utilizes the mitochondrial electron transfer enzyme complex, present in all eukaryotic cells. Prior developmental work with
Recent literature indicates that the elemental sulfur occurring in organic extracts of sediment samples can be toxic to the bacterium Vibrio fischeri, used in standard Microtox bioassays. This observation was tested by means of the solvent extraction of 14 freshwater sediment samples from rivers tri
1,N6-Ethenoadenosine diphosphate (epsilon-ADP) inhibits reverse electron flow (succinate leads to NAD+ driven by ATP) by competing with ATP, in contrast to ADP which we have shown previously to be a noncompetitive inhibitor. From these and other data it is concluded that the noncompetitive inhibitio
The cytosensor microphysiometer (a biosensing instrument for detecting cellular metabolism) was compared to the established tetrazolium salt assay as a chemosensitivity test. Two coumarin compounds, 7-hydroxycoumarin and esculetin, were examined to determine their effect on the cellular metabolism o
