Abstract:
Application of a fluorogenic assay using 4-methylumbelliferone glucuronide (MUG) for detecting Escherichia coli in oysters was not workable due to the presence of an interfering endogenous glucuronidase in the oysters. Modification of the assay by incorporating the MUG into EC broth, rather than LST broth, eliminated the interference. When 25 oyster samples were analyzed for E. coli , 127 of the EC tubes were positive for gas. Of these, 103 were fluorescent and 102 yielded E. coli on isolation. The modification still results in saving approximately 4 d when analyzing for E. coli in oysters.

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...
