Staining mitochondria in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
1969
After testing various procedures (amidoblack 10B, acid fuchsin-methyl blue, Luxol fast blue MBS-phloxine, toluidine blue O, Jams green B and pinacyanol), three stains can be recommended for staining both types of mitochondria (globose and threadlike) in the cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: (1) 0.1% solution of amidoblack 10B in citrate buffer (pH 3.0) for 10 min; (2) 0.01% solution of toluidine blue O in phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) for 30 min; (3) 0.01% solution of Janus green B in distilled water (pH 5.6) for 30 min. The latter stain is most specific because its staining reaction depends upon the action of the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. Yet, low concentrations and short inc…
Fast blue B functionalized silica-polymer composite to evaluate 3,5-dihy-droxyhydrocinnamic acid as biomarker of gluten intake
2021
Celiac disease is an immune-mediated systemic disorder elicited by gluten and related prolamines in genetically susceptible individuals. The current treatment is a strict and lifelong gluten-free diet. However, compliance with the gluten-free diet is not always adequate and many food products contain low concentrations of gluten. The determination of dietary transgressions is a challenge for patients, physicians and dietitians. Alkylresorcinols (AR) have been proposed as sensitive and specific biomarkers of gluten consumption. In this work silica-polymer composites doped with fast blue B reagent (FB) have been used to estimate alkylresorcinols in biological samples. The proposed colorimetri…
