Cells from explants of newt gastrulae which had been cultured in Holtfreter's standard solution containing the carcinogen 3:4-benzpyrene rendered soluble by caffeine were examined for fluorescence by ultra-violet light. The lipoid constituents of the cells, lipochondria and liposomes, showed the bright blue fluorescence of benzpyrene in molecular solution and there was also occasionally a structureless blue fluorescence round the nucleus corresponding, perhaps to the so-called ‘Golgi Apparatus’. The yolk platelets were slightly fluorescent but this was probably due to the associated lipides and it largely disappeared in moribund preparations, where the lipochondria became detached from the platelets. The nucleus showed no fluorescence, nor was a, fluorescent nucleolus observed. It could be shown that the pyronine staining cytoplasmic granules of ribonucleoprotein (microsomes) were not fluorescent and so probably do not have any affinity for the carcinogen. The very small fluorescent granules in Brownian movement that had previously been looked upon as ribonucleoprotein microsomes are in fact small liposomes and do not stain with pyronine. It is suggested that the evocating power of the carcinogenic hydrocarbons is probably not due to cytolytic activation of the evocator, by the killing of some cells in the exposed ectoderm. It may be by physiological activation, operating through a specific action on the lipochondria, leading to their breakdown into liposomes and the release of active evocator substance. Some evidence is produced which suggests that the lipochondria contain ribonucleoprotein, and this fraction of them may constitute the active evocator; this would be congruent with the theories of Brachet (1947). It cannot yet be excluded, however, that the hydrocarbons act as direct evocators, simulating the effects of the naturally occurring substance. The observation that benzpyrene is not accumulated by nucleoprotein makes it likely that the mutagenic activity of the carcinogens is indirect.

A novel three-dimensional ZnII complex, poly[[(μ2-4,4′-bipyridine)(μ4-naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylato)(μ2-naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylato)dizinc(II)] dimethylformamide monosolvate monohydrate], {[Zn2(C12H6O4)2(C10H8N2)]·2C3H7NO·H2O)} n , has been prepared by the solvothermal assembly of Zn(NO3)·6H2O, naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid and 4,4′-bipyridine. The two crystallographically independent Zn atoms adopt the same four-coordinated tetrahedral geometry (ZnO3N) by bonding to three O atoms from three different naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate (1,4-ndc) ligands and one N atom from a 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy) ligand. The supramolecular secondary building unit (SBU) is a distorted paddle-wheel-like {Zn2(COO)2N2O2} unit and these units are linked by 1,4-ndc ligands within the layer to form a two-dimensional net parallel to the ab plane, which is further connected by bpy ligands to form the three-dimensional framework. The single net leaves voids that are filled by mutual interpenetration of an independent equivalent framework in a twofold interpenetrating architecture. The title compound is stable up to 673 K. Excitation and luminescence data observed at room temperature show that it emits bright-blue fluorescence.

N-(4-(7 - Diethylamino - methylcoumarin - 3 yl)phenyl)maleimide (CPM) and the corresponding iodoacetamide are described. When applied to sections at pH 6 and 9, respectively, the two fluorogens are very similar in their reactivity and selectivity toward thiols with which they form adducts having much the same bright blue fluorescence. However, difference in other properties favor CPM for further study.

The heart-bodies and some other tissues of a number of polychaetes have been examined chemically, and the porphyrin pigments from these tissues described. Coproporphyrin III was shown to be present in relatively large concentration in all the heart-bodies, together with traces of coproporphyrin I, a tricarboxylic porphyrin and protohaematin. The body wall of light (pink) and dark (brown) coloured Arenicola and of Amphitrite also contained these pigments in varying amounts. Other non-porphyrin pigments were also seen in the body wall of some animals, the most remarkable being a colourless compound with a bright blue-fluorescence occurring in Flabelligera. Evidence is presented which supports the view that the heart-body is an haematopoietic organ, and the significance of this is discussed. Parallels are drawn between the occurrence of free porphyrins in marine animals and the occurrence of such pigments in porphyrias in man.

Abstract A rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective construction of six- and seven-membered triorgano-substituted silicon-stereogenic heterocycles is developed. This process undergoes a direct dehydrogenative C−H silylation, giving access to a wide range of novel triorgano-substituted silicon-stereogenic heterocycles in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities, that significantly enlarged the chemical space of the silicon-centered chiral molecules. Further elaboration of the chiral monohydrosilane product delivered various corresponding tetraorgano-substituted silicon-stereogenic heterocycles without the loss of enantiopurity. These novel silicon-bridged heterocycles exhibit bright blue fluorescence, which would have potential application prospects in organic optoelectronic materials.

Three assays were developed to enumerate total and fecalEscherichia coliand total Vibrionaceae in shellfish, seawater, and other foods and environmental samples. Assays involve membrane overlays of overnight colonies on nonselective agar plates to detect -glucuronidase and lysyl aminopeptidase activities forE. coliand Vibrionaceae, respectively. Cellulose membranes containing the substrates 4-methylumbeferyl--D-glucuronide (MUG) produced a bright blue fluorescence when overlaid ontoE. coli, while L-lysyl-7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin produced green fluorescent foci when overlaid onto Vibrionaceae family members. A multiplex assay was also developed for simultaneously enumerating totalE. coliand total Vibrionaceae in oysters and seawater. Overall, 65% of overlaidE. coli(non-O157:H7) were MUG-positive, compared with 62% as determined by the most-probable-number-MUG assay. The overlays are rapid, simple, and cost effective for quantification purposes. This research provides practical alternatives for monitoring bacterial indicators and potential pathogens in complex samples, including molluscan shellfish.
