New discoveries in chemical research and development in 2021.In classical electrochemical theory, both the electron transfer rate and the adsorption of reactants at the electrode control the electrochemical reaction. In an article, author is Thomas, Valarie, once mentioned the application of 274-09-9, Name is Benzo[d][1,3]dioxole, molecular formula is C7H6O2, molecular weight is 122.12, MDL number is MFCD00005818, category is pyrrolines. Now introduce a scientific discovery about this category, Name: Benzo[d][1,3]dioxole.
Instant killing of pathogenic chytrid fungi by disposable nitrile gloves prevents disease transmission between amphibians
To prevent transmission of the pathogenic chytrid fungi Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), hygiene protocols prescribe the single use of disposable gloves for handling amphibians. We discovered that rinse water from nitrile gloves instantly kills 99% of Bd and Bsal zoospores. Transmission experiments using midwife toads (Alytes obstetricans) and Bd, and Alpine newts (Ichthyosaura alpestris) and Bsal, show that the use of the same pair of gloves for 2 subsequent individuals does not result in significant transmission of any chytrid fungus. In contrast, handling infected amphibians bare-handed caused transmission of Bsal in 4 out of 10 replicates, but did not result in transmission of Bd. Based on the manufacturer’s information, high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and colorimetric tests, calcium lactate and calcium nitrate were identified as compounds with antifungal activity against both Bd and Bsal. These findings corroborate the importance of wearing gloves as an important sanitary measure in amphibian disease prevention. If the highly recommended single use of gloves is not possible, handling multiple post-metamorphic amphibians with the same pair of nitrile gloves should still be preferred above bare-handed manipulation.
But sometimes, even after several years of basic chemistry education, it is not easy to form a clear picture on how they govern reactivity! 274-09-9, you can contact me at any time and look forward to more communication. Name: Benzo[d][1,3]dioxole.
