| synthesis of cellulase by fusarium sp. in different culture conditions. | the mechanism of the synthesis of cellulases by fusarium sp. strain was studied. it was found that a significant role in determination of cellulases is played by the adsorption of these enzymes on cellulose. the aeration level of the culture media had a significant effect on the synthesis as well as on the enzymatic complexity of cellulases. | 1977 | 70972 |
| controlled cell disruption: a comparison of the forces required to disrupt different micro-organisms. | a cell disrupter has been developed which can measure the forces required to disrupt both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. it operates a continuous process and will disrupt both large and small volumes. shear forces are set up when a suspension under laminar flow conditions is released under high pressure through a short orifice. if the applied pressure is altered, the shear forces are simultaneously changed so that the amount of cell disruption can be compared under different known and repeata ... | 1979 | 422681 |
| [antibacterial activity of zearalenone]. | zearalenone, a mycotoxin secreted by fusarium sp. and gibberella zeae, shows a narrow range of antibacterial activity limited to some gram-positive aerobic spore-forming bacteria. in bacillus thuringiensis (berliner), a highly sensitive species, this activity is characterized by a decrease of cellular division and induction of atypical cells. these effects resemble those obtained with two other mycotoxins which possess a lactone structure: aflatoxin b1 and patulin. | 1979 | 455155 |
