Hydroperoxide formation in the radiolysis of aqueous DNA and the pyrimidine bases

Creator:: Schwiebert, Maris Carol
Abstract:: The formation of cytosine hydroperoxide was detected in aqueous cytosine solutions irradiated with Co-60 γ-rays at pH 2. The nucleotide of cytosine, cytidylic acid, forms a hydroperoxide which was detected in neutral solution. The stability of the hydroperoxides of cytosine, thymine, and their nucleotides was found to be a function...

Fungitoxicity of sodium n-methyldithio-carbamate (Vapam) and its decomposition products

Creator:: Elson, Joseph Earl
Abstract:: An assay for fungicidal activity of sodium N-methyldithiocarbamate (Na-MDC) and its decomposition products was developed in which there was a minimum influence due to the widely varying physical properties of the compounds (i.e. vapor pressure and water solubility). Decomposition of the toxicant during the tests was measured and held to...

Identification of an aerotaxis transducer in Vibrio cholerae

Creator:: Boin, Markus A.
Abstract:: The ability to move towards favorable environmental conditions, called chemotaxis, is common among motile bacteria. In particular aerotaxis has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli. Three putative aer gene homologs were identified in the V. cholerae genome designated VCAer-1 (VC0512) VCAer-2 (VCA0658), and VCAer-3 (VCA0988). Deletion analyses indicated that only...
