RESUMO
The parameters for an effective laser-induced forward-transfer (LIFT) process of aluminum thin films using a femtosecond laser are studied. Deposited feature size as a function of laser fluence, donor film thickness, quality of focus, and the pulse duration are varied, providing a metric of the most desirable conditions for femtosecond LIFT with thin aluminum films.
RESUMO
Nitrite inhibited active transport of proline in Escherichia coli but not group translocation of sugar via the phosphoenolpyruvate:phosphotransferase system. These results were consistent with previous results that nitrite inhibits active transport, oxygen uptake, and oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic bacteria. Nitrite also inhibited aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) from E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus faecalis, and rabbit muscle. Thus, these various data showed that nitrite has more than one site of attack in the bacterial cell. These data also indicated that nitrite is inhibitory to a wide range of physiological types of bacteria.

The artificial electron-donor system, phenazine methosulfate (PMS) ascorbate, inhibited active transport of glucose by Pseudomonas aeruginosa irrespective of whether the incubation systems were in air, flushed with oxygen, or gassed with nitrogen under anaerobic denitrifying conditions. Active transport of glucose by P. aeruginosa was also inhibited by reduced 5-N-methyl-phenazonium-3-sulfonate, a membrane-impermeable electron donor. PMS-ascorbate caused rapid depletion of intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) when added to respiring cell suspensions of P. aeruginosa either in the presence or absence of glucose or succinate as oxidizable energy sources. In contrast, under identical conditions, Escherichia coli formed ATP with PMS-ascorbate as the sole oxidizable energy source and ATP formation continued when glucose or succinate was present in addition to PMS-ascorbate in the incubation system.
