The use of particle-impact coulometry in identifying and quantifying nanoparticles tagged (or labelled) with electroactive molecules is demonstrated via the detection of 1,4-nitrothiophenol-tagged silver nanoparticles in aqueous dispersion at potentials more negative than -0.17 V (vs. Ag/AgCl, the reduction potential

Recently, we showed that Sphingobium fuliginis OMI utilizes 4-tert-butylphenol as a sole carbon and energy source via phenolic ring hydroxylation followed by a meta-cleavage pathway, and that this strain can degrade various alkylphenols. Here, we showed that strain OMI effectively
