Compounds belonging to the vitamin K family possess anti-hemorrhagic
property, and are used in treating patients suffering
from hypoprothrombinemia and obstructive jaundice. Some of
these compounds also exhibit marked antimicrobial activity toward
various microorganisms. Vitamin K₅, 4-amino-2-methyl-
1-naphthol hydrochloride, a water-soluble analog of vitamin K
has been shown to possess...
Vitamin K₅, 4-amino-2-methyl-1-naphthol hydrochloride, a
water soluble analog of vitamin K has been shown to possess an antimicrobial
activity toward many bacteria, molds, and yeast. Much
of the work reported in the literature is on its use as a food preservative,
and it was the purpose of this study to...
The marine psychrophilic bacterium Vibrio marinus MP-4
possessed a maximum temperature and hydrostatic pressure of
20 C and 425 atm for growth. The effects of temperatures of 21 and
25 C and hydrostatic pressures of 200, 400, 500, and 1,000 atm on
protein, RNA and DNA synthesis by V. marinus...
For the past six years a bacterial infection has been the cause
of large losses of adult, spawning, American shad (Alosa
sapidissima) in the Coos, Millicoma and Smith Rivers of Oregon.
There was a sizable commercial fishery for shad in these rivers
and losses of fish due to this infection...
The relationship of temperature and salinity to protein synthesis
was determined for cells of Vibrio marinus, MP-1. Protein synthesis
was measured by the incorporation of radioactive proline into
hot trichloroacetic acid precipitable material. At all salinities protein
synthesis occurred at 15°C and 20°C but not at 25°C. The critical
temperature...
