Titel
Properties and usage of water after quenching of singlet oxygen
Abstract
Water is a well-known quencher for singlet molecular oxygen. The dissipation of the energy from singlet molecular oxygen was found to cause physical changes of the water that could be detected by infraredspectroscopic investigation of the water absorption bands and the behavior during the liquid/solid phase transitions. Water treated with singlet oxygen accelerated the activity of the enzyme beta-glucosidase and accelerated the growth of corn plants.
