Quantification of Total N-Nitrosamine Concentrations in Aqueous Samples via UV-Photolysis and Chemiluminescence Detection of Nitric Oxide

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider

N-Nitrosamines are potent mutagens and carcinogens that can be formed during oxidative water treatment. This study describes a novel method for the determination of total N-nitrosamines by UV-photolysis and subsequent chemiluminescence detection of nitric ...

Genetic, molecular and physiological basis of variation in Drosophila gut immunocompetence

Bruno Lemaitre, Bart Deplancke, Andreas Massouras, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Dani Osman

Gut immunocompetence involves immune, stress and regenerative processes. To investigate the determinants underlying inter-individual variation in gut immunocompetence, we perform enteric infection of 140 Drosophila lines with the entomopathogenic bacterium ...
