Ov. Ignatov et al., ELECTROOPTICAL PROPERTIES OF MICROBIAL-CELLS AS AFFECTED BY ACRYLAMIDE METABOLISM, Analytica chimica acta, 347(1-2), 1997, pp. 241-247
The electro-optical (EO) properties of a microbial cell suspension of
a Brevibacterium strain were studied during the process of metabolism
of acrylamide and certain other amides. Upon optimisation of cell grow
th conditions, followed by EO measurements, we found that acrylamide p
roduced a specific effect on the cell orientational spectra (OS) over
the frequency range 10 to 502 kHz. The other amides used also affected
the EO properties of the cells.
