New Instrumentation and Means to Study the Mechanisms and Pathways of Energy Generation in Microorganisms

Abstract

The principal practical goal was to purchase the customized equipment/instruments necessary to construct and assemble a new and novel integrating cavity absorption meter (ICAM) to conduct accurate spectroscopic, fluorescence, electrochemical and other concomitant measurements on respiratory electron transfer reactions in intact bacteria. Purchase, delivery and installation were completed in April, 2018. The new instrument joins and complements existing spectrophotometers and fluorimeters on the third floor of the Pharmacy Addition at Xavier. All of these instruments are dedicated to studying the mechanisms and pathways for energy generation in microorganisms. The new ICAM is now in use.
