Abstract
A method is described for the rapid determination osmotically significantly amounts of the methylated solutes glycine betaine and .beta.-dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) in algal extracts, using 3H nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The method is straightforward, since algal extracts require no further purification prior to analysis. The procedure is sensitive, non-destructive and may also be applied to other quaternary ammonium and tertiary sulphonium compounds.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
