A fluctuation theory for electrolyte solutions is developed based on the coupling be-tween the equations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and the Poisson equation. The resulting fluctuation theory is applied to the analysis of electrophoretic light scattering. It is shown that in a binary electrolyte solution (two ionic species), the Doppler shift is not determined by the electrical mobility of either ion, but depends instead on the rate of change of transference number with salt concentration. In addition the ionic relaxation time is shown to be proportional to the conductivity of the solution.

concentration of 370 ± 40 mM. Introduction. Nanometer-sized pores can serve as single-molecule sensors for the detection and analysis of biopoly-mers. Sensing of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and ssRNA at the single-molecule level was first demonstrated using the protein pore R-hemolysin (narrowest constriction

Despite numerous studies, in which technologies for producing diverse microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are developed, and despite the fact that some EPSs (xanthan, emulsan, and scleroglucan) are pro-duced on an industrial scale, the production of biopoly-mers that have a constant composition
