The starvation-survival patterns of 16 freshly isolated open
ocean bacteria and in a psychrophilic Vibrio sp., Ant-300, were
determined. These isolates displayed three survival patterns as
determined by viable cell count. These were (a) a rapid increase
followed by a decrease to a constant value (pattern of Ant-300 and
7...
Conversion of exogenous cis-zeatin to trans-zeatin in immature seeds of
Phaseolus vulgaris L. led to the isolation of a cis-trans isomerase from the endosperm.
The enzyme was purified over 2000-fold by chromatography on a series of FPLC
(anion exchange, gel filtration, and hydrophobic interaction) and Concanavalin A
columns. Non-enzymatic isomerization...
Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth) seed meal (MSM), a by-product of meadowfoam oil extraction, has a plant defensive compound known as glucosinolate glucolimnanthin (GLN). Myrosinase enzymes present in soil microbes and meadowfoam seeds can convert GLN to glucosinolate breakdown products (GBPs), which demonstrate herbicidal activity and have the potential...
RNA isolated from BAI strain A (Myeloblastosis) Avian Tumor
Virus can be fractionated into two fractions on a sucrose density
gradient, one of higher molecular weight and one of low molecular
weight. The low molecular weight (LMW) virus RNA was found to
chromatograph the same as E. coli tRNA on...
Washed cells of Vibrio marinus MP-1 grown at 15 C (organism's
optimum growth temperature) were employed in this study. These
cells were exposed to heat at and above their maximal growth temperature
(20 C) for one hour and tested manometrically at 15 C for their
ability to take up oxygen....
The defect mechanisms that underpin the high energy density dielectric 0.8BaTiO₃–0.2Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂) O₃
were investigated. Characterization of the nominally stoichiometric composition revealed the
presence of a Ti³⁺-related defect center, which is correlated with lower resistivities and an
electrically heterogeneous microstructure. In compositions with 2 mol. % Ba-deficiency, a barium
vacancy-oxygen vacancy...

Ebola viruses (EBOV) cause severe disease in humans and nonhuman primates with high mortality rates and continue to emerge in new geographic locations, including several countries in West Africa, the site of a large ongoing outbreak. Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) are synthetic antisense molecules that are able to target mRNAs...
