Interaction between uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation andStaphylococcus aureus infected liver mitochondria

Résumé Des microphotographies électroniques de mitochondries du foie de souris infectées par des staphilocoques montrent une décroissance de la population énergisée, ce qui suggère un découplement. Les mitochondries du foie des animaux infectés avaient un taux élevé d'absorption d'oxygène et indiquent une action de découplement de laS. aureus plus effective que celle du dinitrophenol employée in vitro dans une concentration optimale. Le découplement semble avoir lieu au stage de phosphorylation de l'oxydation.

A simple approach to the toad's (Bufo melanostictus) nerver muscle preparation

Summary A simple and modified dorsal approach method has been made in the toad's (Bufo melanostictus) sciatic gastrocnemius nerve-musle preparation. This method incurs less blood loss, time consumption, nerve damage and visceral spoil compared to conventional ventral approach method.     

Generation of single optical plasmons in metallic nanowires coupled to quantum dots

Control over the interaction between single photons and individual optical emitters is an outstanding problem in quantum science and engineering. It is of interest for ultimate control over light quanta, as well as for potential applications such as efficient photon collection, single-photon switching and transistors, and long-range optical coupling of quantum bits. Recently, substantial advances have been made towards these goals, based on modifying photon fields around an emitter using high-finesse optical cavities. Here we demonstrate a cavity-free, broadband approach for engineering photon-emitter interactions via subwavelength confinement of optical fields near metallic nanostructures. When a single CdSe quantum dot is optically excited in close proximity to a silver nanowire, emission from the quantum dot couples directly to guided surface plasmons in the nanowire, causing the wire's ends to light up. Non-classical photon correlations between the emission from the quantum dot and the ends of the nanowire demonstrate that the latter stems from the generation of single, quantized plasmons. Results from a large number of devices show that efficient coupling is accompanied by more than 2.5-fold enhancement of the quantum dot spontaneous emission, in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
