Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of
the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2,
1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites. Water
upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentrations
( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low....
Trees stressed by artificial and natural means were sampled for response in growth and vigor, carbohydrate content, resin pressure characteristics, and water relations. Tree response was found to reflect both the severity and type of stress imposed. Crown color and appearance were reliable indicators of prolonged stress and advanced decline...
Dietary fiber has been suggested as interfering with
mineral utilization. The influence of broccoli florets and
wastes, cauliflower heads and wastes, wheat bran and Metamucil
on mineral uptake by the rat was determined using
balance studies. All results were compared to control
animals fed diets containing 10% hydrolyzed cellulose.
Utilization...
The ethyl acetate extract of the culture filtrate of the marine Ascomycete,
Leptosphaeria oraemaris (Linder) yielded a novel metabolite
designated by the common name leptosphaerin. An x-ray crystallographic
structure analysis was disproved by the synthesis of 3-acetoxy-S-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-
3-pyrrolin-2-one 1, starting with N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine
47 and D-mannitol 44. Oxidation of 47 followed...
The cytoplasmic isozyme of malate dehydrogenase (s-MDH) has been isolated from brine shrimp nauplii to a state of high purity with a protocol involving ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, followed by sequential passes over cellulose phosphate columns at pH 5.8 then 5.0. The purified enzyme is free of...
Root rot due to Armillariella mellea (Vahl. ex Fr.)
Karst. is unusually severe in ponderosa pine near Glenwood,
Washington. Isolate relations, clonal variability, vegetation
patterns, and climate were examined in relation to
severity of disease in this area.
Ninety-one isolates from 70 infection centers were
examined. Pairings of neighboring isolates...
