In this study, a fluorescence approach was used to evaluate the production of soluble microbial products (SMP) in aerobic granular sludge system under the stress of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). A combined use of three-dimension excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3D-EEM), Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), synchronous fluorescence and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy...

The room-temperature fluorescence of 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate (dGMP) in aqueous solution is studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The steady-state fluorescence spectrum of dGMP shows one band centered at 334 nm but has an extraordinary long red tail, extending beyond 700 nm. Both the fluorescence quantum yield and the relative weight of the 334 nm peak i...

The potential of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) in the aquaculture industry is increasingly being acknowledged. Along with intensified application, the need to better characterise and understand the accumulated dissolved organic matter (DOM) within these systems increases. Mature RASs, stocked with rainbow trout and operated at steady state at four feed loadings, were analysed by disso...

Objective(s): Crocin, as the main carotenoid of saffron, has shown anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. Crocin might interact with cellular proteins and modulate their functions, but the exact target of this carotenoid and the other compounds of the saffron have not been discovered yet. Microtubular proteins, as one of the most important proteins inside the cells, have several functio...

The cytochrome P450 superfamily of monoxygenases are highly relevant for pharmaceutical, environmental and biocatalytical applications. The binding of a substrate to their catalytic site is usually detectable by UV-vis spectroscopy as a low-to-high spin state transition of the heme iron. However, the discovery of potential new substrates is limited by the fact that some compounds do not cause t...

This study deals with the rapid detection and differentiation of Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter, which are the most commonly identified commensal and pathogenic bacteria in foods, using fluorescence spectroscopy and multivariate analysis. Each bacterial sample cultured under controlled conditions was diluted in physiologic saline for analysis. Fluorescence spectra were collecte...

The purpose of this research was to formulate insulin-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles and evaluate structural stability the protein using fluorescence spectroscopy. size morphology were characterized dynamic light scattering (DLS) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fluorescence emission data revealed that insulin is most stable with multilayer adsorption at pH close its isoelectric...

meso-Cyano boron-pyridyl-isoindoline dyes with asymmetrical structures were synthesized through a facile two-step reaction. Broad envelopes of intense vibrational bands were observed for the main spectral bands in the absorption and emission spectra. Moderate fluorescence quantum yields were obtained in solution, with significant intensity also observed in film, powder and crystal forms. An ana...

We present broadband transient absorption spectroscopy on the fluorescent copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole) under hydrostatic pressure of up to 75 kbar. We observe a strong reduction of the stimulated emission intensity under pressure, coupled with slower decay kinetics and reduced fluorescence intensity. These observations indicate increased delocalization of photogenerat...

The synthesis and characterization of a novel fluorophore(1), with potential application as an optical brightener are reported. This compound was prepared by reacting 4,4-diaminostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid with cyanuric chloride in the presence of Na2CO3 followed by the addition of trityl aniline. Solution and solid state fluorescence demonstrated a strong blue/purple emission centered at 450 ...
