Creator:: Nandan, Rajiva
Abstract:: The enzymes and pathways involved in the catabolism of glucose by several strains of Streptococcus diacetilactis, Streptococcus cremoris, and Streptococcus lactis, commonly called the lactic streptococci, were studied. The presence of aldolase, triosephosphate isomerase and alcohol dehydrogenase in these organisms provided evidence for the operation of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway...

Creator:: Pratt, Lee Herbert
Abstract:: Partial reactions of photosynthesis were examined in the wild type strain and six photosynthetic mutants (8, 11, 26, 40, 50, a') of Scenedesmus obliquus, strain D₃. A reproducible procedure for the isolation of active chloroplast fragments from Scenedesmus was developed. Several chloroplast reactions were examined, as well as two in...

Creator:: Ecklund, Paul Richard, 1941-
Abstract:: Shoot apex senescence is defined as the collective progressive and deteriorative processes which ultimately terminate the functional life of the shoot apex. Senescence of shoot apices of Pisum sativum L. 'Alaska' as measured by cessation of stem elongation was delayed by removal of flowers and by treatment with gibberellin A₃...

Creator:: Nix, Carroll Eugene
Abstract:: A total of 902 plasma samples from the Rambouillet, Targhee, Columbia, Lincoln, and Suffolk breeds of sheep were analyzed for transferrin type by disc electrophoresis. Six transferrin types, Tf[superscript A], Tf[superscript B], Tf[superscript C], Tf[superscript p], Tf[superscript E], and Tf[superscript P], were found in the Rambouillet, Targhee, and Columbia breeds...

Creator:: von der Trenck, Karl Theodor
Abstract:: The subcellular fractions of liver and kidney from three bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus nauticus) and three walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) were analyzed for cadmium and mercury content, and the results were compared with the results of subcellular fractionation of the same organs from two sea lions (Zalophus callfornianus californianus) obtained...

Creator:: Harvey, Geoffrey W.
Abstract:: Two light sensitive mutants of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus strain D₃ have been characterized. The photodynamic nature of their sensitivity has been established, the subchloroplast site of photodamage has been investigated, and their noncarotenogenic character has been verified. The two mutants possess several similarities, although mutant L. S. -41...

Creator:: Royce, Lynn A.
Abstract:: The tracheal mite, Acarapis woodi (Rennie), parasitizes the honey bee, Apis mellifera L., an insect used extensively by humans for pollination of domestic crops and for bee products, primarily honey. This parasite was first discovered in 1921 on the Isle of Wight, a small island situated in the English Channel...

Creator:: Ivey, Francis James
Abstract:: A method is described for the determination of N-nitrosoproline (NOPRO) in cured meat products. NOPRO was extracted with ethyl acetate from a slurry of cured meat and water after the addition of ammonium sulfamate and acid. This nitrosamino acid was converted to the methyl ester and after further purification, it...
