The radiorespirometric method was used to study the catabolism
of glucose in intermolt crayfish. Rapid and extensive conversion
of C-3(4) of glucose to C¹⁴O₂ indicated that a significant
portion of the administered glucose was routed into the glycolysis-
Krebs cycle sequence. High yields of C-6 of glucose in the respiratory...
We report the development of a numerical model simulating vertical movement of the
cyanobacterium Trichodesmium spp. Given a range of physiological parameters derived from the literature,
resultant model solutions allow us to explore the ecological significance of vertical migration
by Trichodesmium colonies in a stratified oligotrophic oceanic system such as...
The controversial condition of carbohydrate craving is believed by some
researchers to be a defect in the regulation of food intake by an individual.
This defect is believed to be responsible for the inability of some persons to
control their food intake and therefore their weight. Research was conducted
to...
An atmospheric pressure argon glow discharge is shown
to detect trace levels of carbohydrates in aqueous flowing
systems, using either of two glow discharge solution
interface configurations. The first configuration consists
of an oscillating glow discharge sustained between a flowing
aqueous cathode and platinum anode. Picomole and micromolar
mass and...
Many investigators have suggested that current photosynthate
supply can limit adventitious root formation on leafy cuttings.
Accordingly, studies were undertaken to determine the effects of
altering photosynthesis and carbohydrate levels on adventitious root
formation by leafy cuttings of a number of different species.
Pea cuttings rooted at high CO₂ (1800...
Glucose-1, -2 and -6-C¹⁴ substrates were incorporated into
individual tomato fruits in order to study the catabolic fate of
substrate glucose, especially with regard to the possible occurrence
of triose recombination, as well as to investigate the pathways
leading to the biosynthesis of C₄ acids in the fruit. After metabolizing...
