Development of a rapid and highly sensitive biochemical method for the measurement of fungal spore viability. An alternative to the CFU method
2001
Abstract 1 A biochemical method, based on dehydrogenase activity (DHA) measurement, has been developed as an alternative to colony forming unit (CFU) enumeration, for assessing the viability of fungal spores. In viable cells, a tetrazolium salt (MTT) is reduced to a coloured formazan (MTTf) by cellular dehydrogenase enzymes. From the colorimetric assay developed by Mosmann for mammalian cells, the procedure has been adapted and optimised using P. digitatum spores as a model. Propan-2-ol has been selected as the best solvent to extract the MTTf from the spores. The sensitivity of the method has been considerably increased by determining the optimal conditions of incubation for the MTT reduct…

Optical studies of thin films of alkoxysubstituted oligo(phenylenevinylenes)
2002
Abstract In this work, we study Langmuir films of a family of materials “in-between” the class of distyrylbenzenes and poly( p -phenylenevinylenes), the oligo(phenylenevinylenes), with varying conjugation lengths—from three-phenyl-ring to nine-phenyl-ring system—and different substitution on the terminal benzene rings. We report our investigations on the film-forming properties as well as their optical characterisations.
