This study sought a better understanding of the mechanism of
the near-ultraviolet inhibition of microsclerotia and pigment formation
in the fungus Verticillium albo-atrum Reinke & Berth. by observing
changes which occur in certain major biochemical components:
lipids, chitin, RNA, DNA, protein carbohydrates, and pigment.
The most important finding was that...
Two lots of six White Leghorn male chickens were fed diets containing
7.3% linoleic acid and either .075% ethoxyquin (lot 1) or 32.4
mg/kg of added vitamin E (lot II) for 47 weeks both of which were
designated as positive controls. A third group (lot III) containing 30
males received...
Urban centers, in part, are in the process of deterioration. Consequently, land values in these areas, both in dollars and in contribution to the community, remain dormant or depressed. There seems little doubt that there will be greater pressure for urban land. Urban renewal is one method of returning deteriorated...
Selected parameters that affect crude toxin production in both
primary culture (growing cell culture) and resting culture were
examined during efforts to produce sufficient crude toxin for purification.
The parameters included carbohydrate and label source and
concentration, cell concentration, incubation time and temperature
and shaker speed. A higher yield of...
