Indentification of coupling factor subunits in thylakoid polypeptide patterns of wild-type and mutant barley thylakoids using crossed immunoelectrophoresis
The extrinsic part of coupling factor (CF1) has been isolated from chloroplasts of barley and antibodies have been raised against the purified protein. The five different subunits of CF1 were identified among the...

Role of hydrogen sulfide in mercury resistance determined by plasmid of Clostridium cochlearium T-2
Mercury resistance of Clostridium cochlearium T-2P was found to be controlled by a different mechanism from those reported so far since no mercury-reducing activity was detected in this strain.

Asymmetric distribution of male and female foetuses in the pregnant rabbit uterus
The sex distribution of foetuses in the uterine horn of the pregnant rabbit was found to be asymmetrical, with more males being present in the left uterine horn and more females in the right (p<0.05).

Possible role of membrane proteins in mercury resistance of Enterobacter aerogenes
Mercury resistance shown by a strain of Enterobacter aerogenes was found to be determined by a plasmid. The resistance appeared to be not due to enzymatic volatilization of mercury, but due to the alteration in c...

Involvement of mercury methylation in microbial mercury detoxication
A vitamin B12 requiring strain was isolated fromChlostridium cochlearium T-2 C which is known to synthesize various types of vitamin B12 including methylcobalamin and has an ability to methylate inorganic mercury...

Specific immunosuppression of IgE response to hapten DNP by DNP linked to monoclonal IgG1 in rats
The induction of the anti-DNP IgE in rat was suppressed by pretreatment of rats with the tolerogen synthesized by coupling DNP to rat IgG, i.e.; DNP7–10-IgG. It was found that DNP10-IgG1 was an effective toleroge...

Stereospecific analysis of triglycerides ofGlycine max, Glycine soya, Avena sativa andAvena sterilis strains
A rapid method for the stereospecific analysis of triglycerides based on enzymatic hydrolysis on thin layer plates was applied to a number ofGlycine max, Glycine soya, Avena sativa andAvena sterilis strains. The ...

Partitioning of reduced nitrogen derived from exogenous nitrate in maize roots: Initial priority for protein synthesis
When roots of five day-old maize seedlings were exposed to15N-nitrate, a constant (25–29%) proportion of the reduced15N derived from the entering15N-nitrate accumulated as insoluble15N nitrogen. Constancy was est...

High density cell culture ofRhodotorula glutinis using oxygen-enriched air
Fed-batch culture ofRhodotorula glutinis, an oleaginous yeast, was carried out to obtain high biomass concentration. With air, final concentration of biomass was 100–110 g/L, whereas with oxygen-enriched air, 185...

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...

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...

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...
