A new spectrophotometric assay of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity is described. The assay is based on the SOD-mediated increase in the rate of autoxidation of 5,6,6a,11b-tetrahydro-3,9,10-trihydroxybenzo[c]fluorene (BXT-01050) in aqueous alkaline solution. This autoxidation yields a chromophore
Microplasmodia of Physarum polycephalum differentiate into spherules when the CaCI2 concentration of their nutrient medium is increased to 54mM (highcalcium). The salts starvation medium routinely used to induce differentiation contains 8mM CaCI2. This medium will not induce spherulation in the abse
Two commonly used assays for superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity have been compared, one using cytochrome c and the other using XTT (2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide) as the indicating scavenger of superoxide. The use of cyanide to selectively suppress Cu,Zn-SOD
