Avian myeloblastosis virus RNA was fractionated into a high
molecular weight RNA and a low molecular weight RNA fraction by
sucrose density centrifugation. The larger RNA component had a
sedimentation constant of 65S and the low molecular weight RNA
about 4S. The low molecular RNA has two biological properties of...
The development of the Lee strain of type B influenza
virus was shown to be inhibited by puromycin in tissue culture of the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane. The
compound is an antibiotic of unique structure which has
been reported to possess a broad range of biological activity
against unicellular and...
Biochemical studies of phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) and
mercuric acetate toxicity in rats carried out during this investigation
were (1) the metabolism of ²⁰³Hg(Ac)₂ and ²⁰³Hg-PMA within kidney and liver tissues following oral
ingestion,
(2) the effect on some
soluble enzyme activities and determinations of ²⁰³Hg binding in the
enzyme fractions,...
Abundant conidial production occurs from colonized straws and
plants infected with Cercosporella herpotrichoides Fron during the
cool moist months of the growing season. Experiments were
designed to study the survival, inoculum potential and competitive
saprophytic ability of conidia in soil.
Laboratory results indicated that cool moist soil favors the
saprophytic...
Research was carried out to determine the influence of increasing
the percentage base saturation of the soil on the yield of
the commercial strawberry. It was found that the effect of increasing
the bases in the soils was directly related to the original
percentage base saturation. When this original value...
