Chemiluminescent assay for menadione-catalyzed H(2)O(2) production by mammalian cells was modified by luminol chemiluminescence with microperoxidase instead of peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence with carcinogenic fluorescent materials. Luminol can be used as a common chemiluminescent reagent for the determination of viable mammalian cells and bacteria.

In this study, ethanol inhibited the growth and glucose-induced proton release of yeast cells in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, ethanol tolerance of menadione-catalyzed luminol luminescence by yeast cells increased with increasing ethanol concentrations in the growth medium. The intracellular reduced-form nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) concentration also increased with increasing ethanol concentrations in the medium and was enough to maintain constant menadione-catalyzed luminol luminescence.

A menadione-catalyzed luminol chemiluminescence assay was developed for the rapid detection and estimation of viable bacteria in foods. The principle of this assay is based on the extracellular menadione-catalyzed active oxygen spieces (O2- and H2O2) generated by the activity of NAD(P)H:menadione oxidoreductase in viable cells. This luminol chemiluminescence assay requires 10 min for the incubation of cells with menadione and then 2 s for the measurement of chemiluminescence intensity after an injection of luminol solution without the treatment of cell lysis.

Stable luminol chemiluminescence was observed 10 min after the addition of menadione to a suspension of Mycobacterium bovis homogenized in Middlebrook 7H9 broth base including OADC enrichment. The chemiluminescence intensity was proportional to the absorbance of the bacterial suspension at 600 nm in a range of 0.005 to 0.
