The inhibition of S-aden.osylmethionine: Δ²⁴-sterol methyltransferase
(EC 2.1.1.41) activity by endogenous cellular components has
been studied in vitro. The principal inhibitors were Na⁺ and K⁺; Cs⁺,
NH₄⁺ and Li⁺ were also shown to inhibit the reaction. The inhibition
by potassium cation has been studied, and we have found that energy...
Plasma vitamin B₁₂ concentrations of 16 elderly women were
measured using the growth response of the microorganism, Ochromonas
malhamensis. The method required major modifications which
are described in detail. All women had plasma concentrations of
vitamin B₁₂ above the normal minimum of 200 pg/ml despite the fact
that the diets...
The objective of this project was, "To establish, in Oregon, a coastwide red abalone sport fishery and a limited commercial fishery as stocks dictate." Starting in 1967, abalone were planted at Whale Cove in Lincoln County, and were later planted at the Rogue River Reef in the Gold Beach area...
The Oregon sockeye salmon virus (OSV) was isolated from
diseased sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) fingerlings in 1958
by J. L. Fryer. Experimentation performed prior to the research
reported herein indicated that the OSV contained essential lipids, was
100 to 300 mμ in size, and possessed RNA (presumptively identified
by 5-bromodeoxyuridine...
Major (Fe, Mn, Al) and minor (Cr, Mo, Pb, Zn, Cd) element
analyses of metalliferous sediments in cores from the East Pacific
Rise and Bauer Deep indicate that the Bauer Deep sediments are
similar in chemistry and origin to metalliferous sediments of the
East Pacific Rises.
Fe, Pb, and Zn...
Since the isolation of the Oregon sockeye salmon virus (OSV) in
1958, extensive investigations have been undertaken to characterize
the properties of this virus. The results of these investigations
have indicated that OSV is a single-stranded RNA virus which contains
essential lipids and has a density of 1.16 gm/cm³ in...
