Example sentences for: xtt
How can you use “xtt” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Though the Boney Basin soil readily reduced XTT, it only very slowly reduced DCIP (data not shown), and the rate of reduction was not significantly different between untreated soil and killed controls.
Figure 2illustrates the color change seen when a soil microbial community reduces the dye XTT.
Protein A, the protease inhibitors phenylmethyl-sulfonyl fluoride, leupeptin and pepstatin, and 2,3-bis [2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) were all from Sigma, St. Louis, MO.
Since DCIP and XTT have different redox potentials, and XTT in our work appears to generally be more easily reduced by soil microbial communities, this shows a need to use more than one respiratory dye in this type of experiment.
Reduction of XTT was monitored similarly as described for DCIP, except we measured the increase in absorbance at 465 nm resulting from reduction of the colorless oxidized dye to an orange product [ 16 ] .
