✦ Synopsis

A spectrophotometric method is reported for assaying endotoxins over a wide concentration range, including low parts per billion levels. Five solution of endotoxins. Escherichia coli 0127:B8, Escherichia coli 055:B5, Salmonella abortus-equi, Salmonella enteritidis, and Shigella flexneri, were examined. Each exhibited an absorption maximum at 259 nm, but the absorptivities differed in each case. Thus, rigorous quantification requires that the identity of the endotoxin be known. The uv absorbance and the statistical data for the standard curves for three groups of standard solutions are presented. The absorbance for each group was linear with concentration within acceptable limits.

Bacterial motility was evaluated as a potential tool for the rapid assay of the toxicity of chemicals to microorganisms. The level of toxicity was evaluated by the chemical concentration which caused a 50% reduction in motile bacteria at the 60 s of exposure to toxicants. Assay results showed a good
