<strong>Evaluation of sensor performance for harmful compounds by using photo-induced electron transfer from photosynthetic membranes to electrodes</strong>
Abstract:Abstract:The effect of harmful compounds such as KCN, phenol, and herbicides on the photocurrent of photosynthetic membranes (so-called chromatophores) was investigated using carbon paste electrodes. The photocurrent-time curve of photo-induced electron transfer from chromatophores of the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides to the electrode via 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) was composed of two characteristic phases: an abrupt increase in current immediately after illumination (I0), a… Show more
