Characterization of Developmentally Regulated Molecules of Leishmania
Parasitic protozoa of the genus Leishmania have a relatively simple developmental life cycle. The flagellated promastigotes multiply within the alimentary tract of the sandfly vector. In the mammalian host, proma...

Physiological constraints in increasing biomass concentration ofEscherichia coli B in fed-batch culture
Fed-batch culture ofE.coli B was carried out to obtain high concentration of biomass. After requirement of oxygen was met by sparging the pure oxygen, physiological constraints were delineated. High partial press...

Analytical HPLC of the aridicin glycopeptide complex and its application to fermentation development
A gradient analytical HPLC system was developed to assay titers of the three major components of the aridicin (Ardacin) complex produced byKibdelosporangium aridum (SK&F AAD-216). The separation was performed on ...

Expression of the β-subunit of β-conglycinin in seeds of transgenic plants
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seeds contain the storage protein β-conglycinin, encoded by a multigene family. β-Conglycinin consists of three subunits; α′, α, and β. A genomic clone for a β-subunit of β-congly...

Breathing During Exercise: Demands, Regulation, Limitations
In humans alveolar ventilation (VA) is adjusted almost perfectly to the metabolic demands of mild and moderate exercise. For example, in exercise transitions and in the steady state, PaCO2 rarely deviates by more...

Regulation of Alveolar Ventilation and Arterial Blood Gases During Exercise
The mechanism mediating the increase in alveolar ventilation (VA) during exercise remains controversial. Several investigative groups have suggested different theories each supported by impressive evidence. Wasse...

Tagging of a maize gene involved in kernel development by an activated Uq transposable element
A quiescent Uq transposable element has been activated in a maize plant treated with 5-aza-2′-deoxycyti-dine. This activated Uq cosegregates with a heritable dominant miniature (Mn) kernel phenotype, indicating i...

Aluminum inhibition of shoot lateral branches ofGlycine max and reversal by exogenous cytokinin
Aluminum effects on the morphological development of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) were characterized in greenhouse and growth chamber experiments. An Al-sensitive cultivar, ‘Ransom’, was grown in an acid soil...

Effects of tumor necrosis factor α on proliferation and expression of differentiated phenotypes in rabbit costal chondrocytes in culture
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) decreased the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in rabbit costal chondrocytes in culture, but did not stimulate the release of GAG from cell layers. Like chondrocytes cultured...
