Zaburzone poziomy stężeń tryptofanu mogą pociągać za sobą nieprawidłowe formowanie innych związków, pełniących kluczowe role w funkcjonowaniu organizmu. Można domniemywać, że tym samym wpływają na stężenie serotoniny oraz melatoniny u dzieci autystycznych.

The objectives of this study were to isolate and characterize endophytic bacteria from sugar beet roots focusing on their ability to produce indole acetic acid (IAA). In order to isolate endophytic bacteria the sugar beet roots were used. To determine the amounts of IAA produced by endophytic Bacillus strains (B. amyloliquefaciens, B. megaterium and B. subtilis), a colorimetric technique was applied with Salkowski reagent. The isolates were grown in Laurin Broth medium supplemented with L-tryptophan over the concentration range of 100–10000 g/cm3 and incubated at 30 oC for 7 days. The highest concentration of IAA was recorded after 4 days of culturing in the supernatant obtained from the media containing 10000 g/cm3 of tryptophan. For the strain B. subtilis and B. megaterium the concentration of IAA marked in the post –culturing liquid amounted about 82.00 g/cm3, and for the B. amyloliquefaciens strain it amounted over 121.28 g/cm3. The strains Bacillus under study produced IAA in a different amount in the presence of L-tryptophan and in its absence.

Celem pracy było wyizolowanie i scharakteryzowanie bakterii endofitycznych korzeni buraka cukrowego pod kątem ich zdolności do produkcji kwasu indolilooctowego (IAA). Materiał doświadczalny do izolacji bakterii endofitycznych stanowiły korzenie burak cukrowego. Ilość wytworzonego IAA przez endofityczne szczepy Bacillus (B. amyloliquefaciens, B. megaterium, B. subtilis) oznaczono metodą kolorymetryczną z odczynnikiem Salkowskiego. Szczepy hodowano w pożywce LB (Laurin Broth) suplementowanej L-tryptofanem w stężeniach 100–10000 g/cm3 i inkubowano w 30 oC przez 7 dni. Najwyższe stężenie IAA odnotowano po 4 dniach w hodowlach zawierających 10000 g/cm3 L-tryptofanu. Dla szczepu B. subtilis i B. megaterium stężenie IAA wynosiło około 82,00 g/cm3, a dla szczepu B. amyloliquefaciens 127,28 g/cm3. Badane szczepy Bacillus spp. wytwarzały IAA na różnym poziomie zarówno w obecności L-tryptofanu jak i przy jego braku.

Chromatografia cienkowarstwowa jest dogodną metodą do tzw. analiz przesiewowych (z ang. screen analysis) oraz szybkiego badania profili retencji z użyciem różnych faz ruchomych. Nasze badania dotyczą zastosowania termostatowanej mikrochromatografii cienkowarstwowej do optymalizacji procesu rozdzielania wybranych aminokwasów tryptofanu i proliny w układzie faz odwróconych (RP). Uzyskane dane retencyjne umożliwiły określenie optymalnych warunków rozdzielania przy zastosowaniu prostego parametru optymalizacji: maksymalnej wartości współczynnika rozdzielenia (αmax). Parametr ten był obliczany z dokładnością 2% stężenia binarnej fazy ruchomej w zakresie od 0 do 100%, na podstawie danych eksperymentalnych uzyskanych z rozdzielczością 20%. Wybrane kryterium optymalizacji umożliwia bezpośrednie przeniesienie uzyskanych wyników na systemy rozdzielania typu RP z użyciem kolumny zamiast płytek np. wysokosprawnej chromatografii kolumnowej (HPLC).

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) are commonly used in separation, identification, purification and quantification of different analytes present in complex biological, environmental and pharmaceutical samples. Planar chromatography can be also applied to screen analysis and fast exploration of chromatographic retention profiles using different concentrations of mobile phases components. This method does not require expensive equipment, tedious and time-consuming sample pretreatments and, what is important, allows a parallel separation of many samples at the same time. The spots or bands sprayed onto the TLC plate can be easily detected under visible and UV light (usually 254nm, 366nm) or by post-chromatographic derivatization with visualization reagents, and then digitalized using office scanners. It should be noted that the great advantage of micro-planar chromatography compared to the regular sized TLC is low consumption of the eluents (usually less than 1 mL per analytical run) as well as short analysis time, due to mobile phase migration distance less than 50 mm. Under particular cases (high temperature and low viscosity eluents like acetone, dichloro-methane or n-hexane), non-forced eluent flow micro-chromatographic analysis can be completed within less than 5 minutes. This work is focused on optimization of separation process of two amino acids including tryptophan and proline (Fig. 1) under reversed-phase micro-chromatographic conditions. Particularly, selected amino acids were chromatographed on HPTLC RP-18W (wettable with water) 25 x 50 mm cutted plates using thermostated horizontal micro-chamber and unsaturated conditions (Fig. 2). The target components were sprayed on the start line (1Μg per lane) using a semi-automatic sampler (Linomat 5, Camag). The plates were developed with n-propanol: water binary mixtures as the mobile phases. Different concentrations of alcohol ranging from 0 to 100% (v/v) with steps of 20% were applied. The temperature of chromatographic separation was set at 40oC and chromatographic runs were completed within 10-30 minutes, depending on the water concentration in the mobile phase. The amino acids were visualized by dipping the plates in ninhydrin solution (prepared for concentration 0.3% in ethanol) followed by heating at 120°C for 10 minutes. Picture acquisition was performed using a Plustek OpticPro S12 scanner with an 8-bit per channel color deep mode, 300 DPI resolution, and saved as TIFF files. Retention data were derived from the plates via densitometric scans obtained with help of ImageJ freeware (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij). Using the raw retention data set (RF values, retardation factor), the chromatographic profiles of amino acids were calculated with step of 2% (Fig. 3A). Based on the curves observed and relationship RM = logk, where RM and k correspond to mobility and retention factors, respectively, a simple optimization criterion expressed as a separation factor (α) was calculated (Fig. 3B). Using this plot, the best separation conditions of target components were selected taking into account the maximum value of the separation factor (αmax). Due to the equal spot shape of amino acids investigated across the whole range of the mobile phases composition, such approach involving the α values allows fast optimization of separation in planar chromatography and direct application of selected conditions into column chromatographic systems based on e.g. high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It should be noted that the advantages of retention data screening using micro-TLC are very low mobile phase consumption (at level of 300 ΜL per chromatographic run), short analysis time and effective detection of UV-Vis transparent substances using simple visualization reagent.

This work is devoted to study how immobilization in the PVA films affects the fluorescence and phosphorescence lifetime of indole and its derivatives. The obtained results indicated that immobilization of the studied indoles in the PVA matrix, which leads to the increased microrigidity of the environment around the indole moiety, results in the increase of singlet and triplet excited state lifetime of the studied compounds. Most probably, the enhancement of the rigidity of the environment near the chromophore reduces the rates of the non-radiative deactivation pathways, which leads to the increase of excited state lifetimes of the studied compounds.

Hydrogels are cross-linked hydrophilic polymer networks that find application in biomedical and pharmaceutical industries due to their unique properties. Polyvinyl alcohol is a synthetic polymer, potential biomaterial blended with various materials and compounds, that can provide new options for drug delivery systems. Determination of photochemical properties of naproxen and tryptophan immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol and two other media: water and cyclohexane was performed using UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence methods. The influences of the media used on the spectral properties of naproxen and tryptophan have been shown.

We present the results of an investigation which shows that the yellowing of wool fibre which occurs during light exposure and treatment with boiling water is reduced by pre-treatment of loom state wool fabric with perchloroethylene. The changes in light reflectance and the yellowing index of the treated wool fabric were found to correlate with the data of wool fibre strength, permanent set degree, solubility in urea-bisulphite solution, fluorescence emission and thermogravimetric analysis
