Anaerobic transfer

The protein concentration used in the near-IR measurements was about 7 mM in heme. The protein solution was filtered through either a 0.45 pm or a 0.22 pm membrane filter prior to being anaerobically transferred into a gas-tight 1-mm-path-length sample cell. The sample cell was rotated sufficiently quickly to ensure that each photolysis pulse illuminated a fresh volume within the protein sample. The temperature of the sample was about 28°C, which was elevated somewhat from ambient temperature due to heating by the motorized mount.

The active copper as generated in the preceding text was allowed to react with pentafluorophenyl iodide (molar ratios of 3.3 1) at room temperature in DME for 30 min. The supernatant solution was then anaerobically transferred to another flask, where the solvent and excess aryl iodide were removed under vacuum to leave a tan solid containing pentafluorophenyl copper. This tan solid was difficult to purify however, its chemistry matches that published for pure pentafluorophenyl copper. Yields were in the range of 70-80%. 

Figure 2.30. Selected area-diffraction patterns of activated catalyst 1 after successful anaerobic transfer into the electron microscope. Pattern a shows the (111) orientation of a-iron with the particles being perfect single crystals. Pattern b was taken from an area between two stacks of platelets and is typical of a strongly disordered spinel oxide lattice.

Tetratchloroethylene has been detected in the food chain as a contaminant its volatility prevents significant bioaccumulation but some transfer to aquatic sediments is possible. At low concentrations it is slowly degraded under anaerobic conditions. 

Anaerobic respiration Metabolic process whereby electrons are transferred from an organic, or in some cases, inorganic compounds to an inorganic acceptor molecule other than oxygen. The most common acceptors are nitrate, sulfate, and carbonate. 

The P-alanyl dipeptides carnosine and anserine (A -methylcarnosine) (Figure 31-2) activate myosin ATPase, chelate copper, and enhance copper uptake. P-Alanyl-imidazole buffers the pH of anaerobically contracting skeletal muscle. Biosynthesis of carnosine is catalyzed by carnosine synthetase in a two-stage reaction that involves initial formation of an enzyme-bound acyl-adenylate of P-alanine and subsequent transfer of the P-alanyl moiety to L-histidine. 

Deinococcus radiodurans strain Rl Anaerobic cultures grown with lactate could reduce chromate, although reduction was increased by the presence of electron transfer to AQDS. Reduction of U(VI) and Tc(VII) could also be accomplished in the presence of the electron transfer agent (Fredrickson et al. 2000). 

The reductase in Geobacter sulfurreducens is located in the outer membrane and a soluble Fe(III) reductase has been characterized from cells grown anaerobically with acetate as electron donor and Fe(III) citrate or fumarate as electron acceptor (Kaufmann and Lovley 2001). The enzyme contained Fe, acid-labile S, and FAD. An extracellular c-type cytochrome is distributed in the membranes, the periplasm, and the medium, and functions as a reductase for electron transfer to insoluble iron hydroxides, sulfur, or manganese dioxide (Seeliger et al. 1998). 

For anaerobic bacteria, the same principles apply, except that additional attention must be directed to preparing the cell suspensions. Use of an anaerobic chamber in which cultures can be transferred to tightly capped centrifuge tubes is virtually obligatory, and addition of an anaerobic indicator should be used to ensure that subsequent entrance of oxygen does not take place inadvertently. On account of the inserts, screw-capped Oak Ridge tubes are convenient for centrifugation. 

Benzoyl-CoA reductase carries out the two-electron reduction of the aromatic ring dnring the anaerobic degradation of benzoate by Thauera aromatica. This involves two-electron transfer from ferredoxin, and a combination of EPR and Mossbaner spectroscopy showed the presence of three different clusters, while inactivation by oxygen was associated with partial conversion of [4Fe-4S] clnsters to [3Fe-4S] clnsters (Boll et al. 2000).
