Abstract:
Salmonella isolation and identification follow an inseparable continuum of steps from beginning to end. This paper, therefore, encompasses both aspects of the problem. The importance of recovering injured cells is mentioned, and problems in automating the isolation process are described. Rapid serological tests for identification of salmonellae directly in enrichment media are discussed. Suggestions are made for improvements in antiserum preparation and for automating certain serological tests. Various kits, procedures and automated equipment on sale or under development for the rapid and convenient physiological characterization of salmonellae and other Enterobacteriaceae are described. Examples are given of comparative efficiencies and potential problems that might be encountered. Finally, a prediction is made about the possible nature of future generations of highly efficient and inexpensive automated systems for Salmonella identification.

SN1 Reaction: Stereochemistry
In the first step of an SN1 reaction, the bond between the electrophilic carbon and the leaving group ionizes to generate the carbocation intermediate. The second step of the mechanism is the nucleophilic attack.
In the formed carbocation, the positively charged carbon is sp2 hybridized with a trigonal planar geometry. As all the three substituents lie on the same plane, a plane of symmetry for the...

SN1 Reaction: Kinetics
However, Sir Christopher Ingold and Edward D. Hughes, who studied the kinetics of various nucleophilic substitution reactions, noticed that a tertiary alkyl halide does undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction in the presence of a weak nucleophile. While studying the substitution...
SN1 Reaction: Mechanism
Firstly, the haloalkane ionizes to generate a carbocation intermediate and a halide ion. This heterolytic cleavage is highly endothermic with large activation energy. The ionization of the substrate, facilitated by a...
