β¦ Synopsis
Growth of the soil bacterium Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in the presence of selenite produced a mixture of two types of cells: those that contained numerous electron-dense bodies of elemental selenium and those that did not. Light diffraction and electrical impedance measurements indicated that the cells that contained visible bodies of elemental selenium were approximately 30% larger than the cells that exhibited no visible accumulation of selenium. Sedimentation field-flow fractionation was applied to a stationary-phase culture of bacteria growth in the presence of 2.0 mM selenite. Complete separation of selenium-free cells from those that contained elemental selenium was achieved at a field strength of 331 cmrs 2 .

## TRIBUTE TO PROFESSOR J. CALVIN GIDDINGS I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work closely with Professor J. Calvin Giddings for the past 10 years. During this time, he has been both a mentor and a friend. The guidance and freedom that he has given me over the years have greatly im
A new general expression of the ratio of the void time to analyte retention time, which one calls the time-based retention ratio R , is given for t curved separation channels. It differs from the classical definition of the retention ratio, based on a velocity ratio, which does not account for the f
Most analyses of submicron particles using sedimentation field-flow Ε½ . fractionation SdFFF have been carried out in aqueous systems. However, a nonaqueous carrier solution could be suitable for SdFFF when the particle density is close to the density of water. Few papers have reported the retention
