ABSTRACTWe have fabricated novel shellac-cells composite microcapsules capable of pH-stimulus induced release of cells in a narrow pH range. The microcapsules were produced with yeast cells as a model for probiotics which were co-precipitated from an aqueous solution of ammonium shellac doped with pH-sensitive polyelectrolytes. The yeast cells in the composite shellac-cell microcapsules retained their viability even when treated with aqueous solutions of very low pH and subjected to shear stress. We studied the pH triggered release of cells from these microcapsules and measured their disintegration times. These microcapsules showed versatile responses ranging from slow release to explosive swelling at higher pH depending on the type and concentration of the polyelectrolyte integrated in the shellac microcapsules. We also observed growth-triggered release of cells from these microcapsules upon exposure to culture media. In both cases the cells retained their viability following their release from the microcapsules into the aqueous solution.

The rates of decomposition of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NG), N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluenesulfonamide (MNTS), N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, and N-methyl-N-nitrosourethane in dilute aqueous solutions at pH levels ranging from 2 to 9 are tabulated. There are considerable differences in the breakdown rates of these compounds. At low pH, MNTS is destroyed several times faster than any of the other compounds, while at pH 7, MNTS is about 100 times as stable as methylnitrosourea. Rates of photochemical destruction of NG and MNTS are also given. Some of the breakdown products have been identified. These data are used to provide tentative explanations for some apparently anomalous biological results.

Percent Removal

In this study, removal of Methyl Red from aqueous solutions by synthetic Mg-Al-HTlc was investigated as a function of contact time, pH and temperature. It is found that HTlc could reduced Methyl Red concentration effectively. The kinetic process which reached equilibrium at about 2h can be fitted by pseudo-second order kinetics. The percent removal of MR by the HTlc was dependent on the initial pH of bulk solution. There was no much changes in amount of adsorption in the initial pH range of 6-8, while it reached maxium at about of 9. The adsorption process was endothermic.

The formation constants of the species formed in the systems H+ + dimethyltin(IV) + 5′-AMP and 5′-GMP, H+ + 5′-AMP, and H+ + 5′-GMP have been determined in aqueous solution in the pH range of 1.5–9 at constant temperature (25 °C) and constant ionic strength (0.1 mol dm–3, NaClO4) using spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques. 1H and 31P NMR investigations in aqueous solution confirmed the species formation and led us to propose their structures. The precipitated complexes of AMP and GMP by Me2Sn(IV)2+ at low pH values were characterized by elemental analysis and FTIR spectroscopy, which ruled out purine moiety (N-1 and N-7) coordination and a bidentated coordination of the phosphate group is concluded in both cases.Key words: dimethyltin(IV)dichloride, guanosine 5′-monophosphate, adenosine 5′-monophosphate, stability and protonation constants.

The kinetics of bromination of 4-pyridone and selected derivatives have been measured in aqueous solutions in the pH range 0–9, at 25 °C. The tautomeric system 4-pyridone [Formula: see text] 4-hydroxypyridine [Formula: see text] reaets with bromine via the predominant (pyridone) tautomer at pH < 6 and via the conjugate anion at pH > 6. 3-Bromo-4-pyridone behaves similarly. The kinetics also reveal that the facile dibromination of 4-pyridone occurs because at most pH's the monobromo derivative is actually more reactive towards bromine by virtue of its lower pKa values. From the point of view of reactivity the 4-pyridones and their anions behave as substituted phenoxide ions. 4-Methoxypyridine does not undergo bromination under comparable conditions, but rather forms a complex with bromine.

Ultrathin Frozen Sections

During the last years it was shown that also by means of cryo-ultra-microtomy a good preservation of substructural details of biological material was possible. However the specimen generally was prefixed in these cases with aldehydes.Preparing ultrathin frozen sections of chemically non-prefixed material commonly was linked up to considerable technical and manual expense and the results were not always satisfying. Furthermore, it seems to be impossible to carry out cytochemical investigations by means of treating sections of unfixed biological material with aqueous solutions.We therefore tried to overcome these difficulties by preparing yeast cells (S. cerevisiae) in the following manner:

The metastable zone width of an aqueous solution of KCI was measured as a function of the time and temperature of overheating above the equilibrium solubility temperature. It has been found that when the experiments follow close upon one another, the parameters of the preceding experiment affect the results of the experiment to follow.The results are interpreted in terms of hypotheses advanced in the literature to account for the effect of thermal history of solution. The plausibility and applicability of these hypotheses are assessed for the given cause of aqueous solution of a well soluble electrolyte.

AbstractIn this study, a new optical method is presented to determine the concentrations of NaCl and glucose aqueous solutions by using a thermo-elastic optical indicator microscope. By measuring the microwave near-field distribution intensity, concentration changes of NaCl and glucose aqueous solutions were detected in the 0–100 mg/ml range, when exposed to microwave irradiation at 12 GHz frequency. Microwave near-field distribution intensity decreased as the NaCl or glucose concentration increased due to the changes of the absorption properties of aqueous solution. This method provides a novel approach for monitoring NaCl and glucose in biological liquids by using a CCD sensor capable of visualizing NaCl and glucose concentrations without scanning.
