This small (< 5 kDa) peptide ribosomally produced by Gram-positive bacteria belonging to Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and Blautia species. Nisin exhibits antibacterial activity against a broad range of Gram-positive bacteria and may be effective against Gram-negative pathogens. For analytical semi-preparative purposes, gradient HPLC is often used in the acetonitrile concentration range from 20 to 30 % (solvent B) and a retention time of 20 to 50 min. In this study the optimal conditions for the analysis of nisin by RP-HPLC were determined: a gradient from 23 to 28 % acetonitrile (buffer B) when used as solvents: buffer A: [4 M LiClO4 – 0.1 M HClO4 ] : H2O=1:19; and buffer B: 100 % CH3CN with a retention time up to 12 min. Differences between the chromatographic profiles of expired and non-expired nisin samples have been identified. The expired nisin sample differs from the non-expired samples by the presence of asymmetric nisin A / Z peaks with significant degradation of the nisin A peak. The results of the study indicate the possibility using RP-HPLC for checking the quality and shelf life of commercial nisin samples without the need for additional purification","PeriodicalId":18626,"journal":{"name":"Methods and Objects of Chemical Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135401776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, the following constancy has been established for all studied river systems: the higher the hydrophobicity coefficient log (Ko/w) of the organic ecotoxicant, the smaller its water-soluble fraction. Relevant dependences have been established and their statistical processing has been carried out. The correlations determined are significant and reliable for most aquatic systems, with R ranging from 0.67 to 0.98 (P > 95%). It follows that the hydrophobicity coefficient of a compound is an essential parameter by which its disperse-phase distribution can be estimated.

UV-Vis characteristics of MB, optimal wavelength, reaction time and concentration of reductant were studied. The effect of ascorbic acid concentration and the reaction time on linearity, bias and uncertainty was discussed. The molybdenum blue reaction was found to obey Beer’s law in the targeted concentration range of 0.04 – 1.0 mg L-1 PO43- - P. The linearity was proved by “lack-of-fit” test. The uncertainty budget was made and the uncertainty was estimated by modelling approach, as well as single laboratory and quality control approach.

A new, simple, sensitive fluorescence method for the determination of Cu2+ ions was developed and analytical characteristics of the proposed probe were estimated. The Cu2+ ions can significantly quench the fluorescence intensity of N-(2-carboxymethyl)benzoaza-15-crown-5 (Cr) in ethanol/H2O (4:6, v/v) solvent mix containing urotropine buffer (pH 7.5) at λex = 274 nm and λem = 308 nm.

This method was applied for the determination of Cu2+ ions in drinking water.
