The first study utilized ova transfer in sheep and involved
hormonal treatments for synchronization of estrus and superovulation
in an investigation of crossbred maternal influences on inbred and
linecross lambs.
Synchronization of estrus in ewes was achieved effectively
with either oral progestogen, 6 α-methyl-17α-hydroxy-progesterone
acetate (60 mg./ewe/day), or intramuscular injections...
This paper defines four function space topologies,
characterizes two of them in terms of more familiar
concepts, and compares the four topologies. Then in the
cases of the two less familiar topologies we have considered
several common properties of topological spaces
and attempted to answer the following question: If the...
Ribonucleotide reductase from Rhizobium meliloti has been
partially purified and characterized. The enzymatic reduction of
ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides is dependent upon B₁₂ coenzyme
and dihydrolipoate.
B₁₂ coenzyme was more effective than B₁₂ coenzyme analogues
in the reductase reaction. The affinity of the R. meliloti
reductase system for B₁₂ coenzyme was...
An investigation was undertaken to determine whether
potassium is indeed necessary for the in vivo synthesis of a
specific protein. The effects of univalent cations on the
inductive formation of nitrate reductase and on the level of
activity of representative non-adaptive enzyme are presented.
Cultures of Neurospora crassa were grown...
Experiments are reported which demonstrate that a cobalt deficiency
in R. meliloti results in a decreased cytochrome content of
bacterial cells. It is concluded that the effect of cobalt deficiency
on cytochrome content of Rhizobium cells and on the leghemoglobin
content of nodules possibly may be explained by an effect...
