New technique of sample preparation for respirometry of filamentous fungi.

Various difficulties in the respirometry of filamentous fungi were avoided by using samples of moist mycelium layered thinly on tantalum grids. A variety of measurements is feasible with such preparations and are illustrated with samples of Schizophyllum commune from liquid and solid cultures.

Alkaline haematin and nitrogenous ligands.

1. Pyridine reacts with alkaline haematin to form a dipyridine dihydroxy dimeric haematin in which there is no competition between pyridine and OH(-) for coordination positions on the iron of haematin. 2. Imidazole competes directly with OH(-) to form the monomeric imidazole parahaematin in alkaline media. 3. The monomeric imidazole parahaematin aggregates readily to form a species that is precipitated on standing. 4. A structure is proposed for the haematin-pyridine compound in alkaline media.
