Protein microcapsules (PM) were developed as a tool for investigating aspects of dietary protein utilization by mussels, Mytilus edulis trossulus. Digestion of PM in vitro by protease, trypsin, amylase and extracts from the gut of mussels varied significantly depending on the type of protein encapsulated or whether carbohydrates were added...
DNA markers that detect polymorphisms within and between two biological species of the coniferous laminated-root-rot fungus Phellinus weirii were developed and used to
measure the amount and distribution of genetic variation. In a preliminary survey, total cellular DNA from 3 Douglas-fir-type isolates and 3 cedar-type isolates was digested with 12...
