  • slow growing nature of green algae. In order to optimize its production, a method for the detection of E. coli producing the largest quantities is necessary. Tetrazole photoclick chemistry, a bioorthogonal strategy, features the UV-induced reaction of a synthetic 2,5-diaryltetrazole with terminal end alkenes of biomolecules, in turn producing a fluorescent dihydropyrazole. For this purpose, a water-soluble, cell-permeable 2,5-diaryltetrazole is desirable. A versatile precursor tetrazole, 2-(4
