  • Effect of x-irradiation upon glucose catabolism in the intact rat

    Creator:
    Marks, Darrell Lee
    Abstract:
    Beginning with the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen in 1895, man has had the capacity to greatly increase radiation levels of his environment, especially with the advent of nuclear weapons in recent years. Radioisotopes are finding progressively wider use in medicine, research, power production, etc., with increased hazards...

  • The utilization of some amino acids by Azotobacter vinelandii

    Creator:
    Bilen, Oya Fatma
    Abstract:
    The effects of different nitrogen sources on the primary and secondary pathways of Azotobacter vinelandii cells were studied by means of the radiorespirometric method. C¹⁴ labeled glucose and several key amino acids related to the tricarboxylic acid cycle, such as glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine, serine and glycine were used...

  • Radiotracer methodology in biological science

    Creator:
    Willis, David L.
    Abstract:
    The use of radioactive isotopes as tracers in biological systems has become widespread since the close of World War II. Proper use of radiotracers requires a fundamental understanding of the physical nature of radioactivity, the characteristics of ionizing radiation, and the various methods available for measuring radioactivity. More importantly, the...

  • A study of relative speeds of medical x-ray film and intensifying screen combinations

    Creator:
    Gross, Richard Eugene
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to determine the relative speeds of available medical x-ray films exposed directly to x-rays and exposed in combination with various types of intensifying screens. The information obtained from this sensitometric data was used to obtain factors by which a radiographic exposure technique with one...

  • The estimation of glucose pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the catabolic rate method

    Creator:
    Jacobsen, Donald Weldon
    Abstract:
    Existing methods for the estimation of relative participation of glucose catabolic pathways make use of yield data of respiratory ¹⁴CO₂ or intermediary ¹⁴C products derived from glucose substrates specifically labeled with ¹⁴C. Cumulative yields of respiratory ¹⁴CO₂ observed at the end of time course of complete substrate utilization are analyzed...

  • Radiolysis of succinic acid in water

    Creator:
    Tanaka, Fred Shigeru
    Abstract:
    The radiolysis of succinic acid in aqueous solutions induced by gamma irradiation from ⁶⁰Co has been studied with respect to the identification and estimation of degradation products. Detailed information on the radiolysis of succinic acid is important in determining what effect two carboxyl groups in the same molecule would have...

  • Rate of catabolic pathways of glucose in the intact rat

    Creator:
    Prince, John Robert
    Abstract:
    Virtually nothing is known regarding the quantitative significance of the several catabolic sequences involved in the breakdown of glucose in the intact rat. Studies in this and other laboratories have shown that the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, the pentose phosphate pathway and the glucuronic acid pathway are operative in several tissues of...

  • The biosynthetic precursor of ethylene in Penicillium digitatum Saccardo

    Creator:
    Jacobsen, Donald Weldon
    Abstract:
    An attempt has been made to elucidate the biosynthetic precursor of ethylene in the mold P. digitatum. By application of basic radiotracer methodology and the utilization of several specifically labeled radiochemical substrates, it has been possible to demonstrate that the internal carbon atoms of C-4 dicarboxylic acids such as succinate,...
