    Notes: Abstract To characterize the assumed potassium channels in the plasma membrane of the green alga Eremosphaera viridis (Köhler et al. 1985), current-voltage (I/V)-curves under resting conditions and during an action-potential-like response (CAP) were constructed using voltage- and current-clamp techniques. Under resting conditions the I/V-curves of Eremosphaera showed a distinct upward bending when approaching zero mV, a nearly straight line in the medium part and a downward bending during strong hyperpolarization. Measurements in light and darkness frequently displayed a parallel shift of the I/V-curve in the middle part, indicating a current source which is slowed down by light-off. Using the voltage-clamp technique, N-shaped I/V-curves were sometimes observed. The potassium concentration outside influenced the downward-bending part of the I/V-curve whereas the tetraethylammonium cation, known to block potassium channels, reduced the upward-bending part in particular. A change in external pH, either to pH 7 or pH 3.1 from a standard pH 5.5, caused an increase in conductivity. Chemically induced action potentials were released in Eremosphaera under voltage-clamp conditions by light-off and there was both a current flow and an increase in conductivity during the CAP. Clamping the membrane potential at a value more negative than Nernst potential of potassium revealed an inward current, whereas clamping at a more-positive value revealed an outward current. The experiments demonstrate that there is no threshold potential in releasing a CAP. The I/V-curves performed under current clamp at the peak of CAP verify a previously found increased conductivity with hyper- or depolarization depending on the external potassium concentration. These experiments provide further evidence that in Eremosphaera potassium channels are involved in the CAP caused by a light-off signal. Additional experiments indicate that after light-off a transient acidification of the cytoplasm takes place in correlation with the CAP and the opening of potassium channels. A preliminary “battery model” is discussed to understand the role of potassium channels during a CAP in pH-regulation of the cytoplasm.

    Notes: Abstract The dependence of the membrane potential of Eremosphaera viridis on different external concentrations of potassium, sodium, calcium, and protons was compared with the diffusion potential measured in the dark and in the presence of NaN3. In contrast to some other algae, the membrane potential in the light as well as in the dark seemed to be predominantly determined by the calculated diffusion potential and less by an electrogenic pump which, however, seemed to be involved at potassium concentrations 〉1 mol·m-3 and at higher pHos (〉pH 6). Furthermore, some characteristics of an action-potential-like response (CAP) triggered by light-off, and independent of the membrane-potential threshold value, were determined. The CAP had a delay period of 5.4 s and needed 4.5 s for polarization to a plateau. On average, the plateau held for 8.8 s and the CAP lasted 37.7 s. The peak amplitudes of CAP (P AP) exactly followed the Nernst potential of potassium. Other cations like sodium, calcium and protons did not appreciably affect the peak amplitudes of CAP. From these and other results it can be assumed that the CAP is caused by a temporary opening of potassium channels in the plasma membrane of Eremosphaera (Köhler et al., 1983, Planta 159, 165–171). The release of a CAP by light-off has been partly explained by the participation of a transient increase of proton concentration in the cytoplasm. It was possible to trigger a CAP by external pH changes and by the addition of sodium acetate, thus supporting the hypothesis that a pH decrease in the cytoplasm may be one element of the signal transfer from the photosynthetic system to the potassium channels in the plasmalemma. Calcium also seemed to have an influence on triggering the CAP.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ligand-Exchange Reactions on TcNX4- Complexes (X = Cl, Br)Ligand exchange reactions on the nitridotechnetium(VI) compounds (Bu4N)TcNCl4 and (Bu4N)TcNBr4 are reported. The use of various organic ligands having different donor atom sets produces TcV nitrido complexes. The reaction of (Bu4N)TcNCl4 with (Bu4N)TcNBr4 is characterized by the formation of TcVI complex species with mixed Cl/Br coordination spheres. EPR detection of the mixed-ligand complexes results in a well-defined dependence of the EPR parameters on the composition of the first coordination sphere of the complexes.
    Notes: Es wird über Ligandenaustauschreaktionen an den Nitridotechnetium(VI)-Komplexen (Bu4N)TcNCl4 und (Bu4N)TcNBr4 berichtet. Dabei entstehen bei Verwendung organischer Liganden mit unterschiedlichen Donoratomen Nitridokomplexe des Technetiums(V). Bei der Reaktion von (Bu4N)TcNCl4 mit (Bu4N)TcNBr4 in unterschiedlichen Mischungsverhältnissen entstehen Komplexspezies des TcVI mit gemischter Cl/Br-Koordinationssphäre. Bei Untersuchungen mittels EPR-Spektroskopie konnte für die gebildeten Gemischtligandkomplexe eine definierte Abhängigkeit der Spektrenparameter von der Zusammensetzung der ersten Koordinationssphäre nachgewiesen werden.
