correlation of enzyme-induced cleavage sites on negatively superhelical dna between prokaryotic topoisomerase i and s1 nuclease.negatively superhelical pns1 dna with a molecular weight of 2.55 mda (4 kbp) was found to contain 13 specific, unbasepaired sites that are sensitive to a single-strand-specific s1 nuclease cleavage. the s1-cleavage occurred once at these sites. in the absence of added mg2+, the topoisomerase i purified from haemophilus gallinarum formed a complex with the superhelical pns1 dna which has a hidden strand cleavage. extensive proteinase k digestion of the complex led to cleavage of the dna chain. th ...19836303425

genetic and phenotypic comparison of three new avian haemophilus-like taxa and of haemophilus paragallinarum biberstein and white 1969 with other members of the family pasteurellaceae pohl 1981.in the course of post-mortem bacteriological examinations, several previously unreported bacterial strains were isolated from budgerigars, pigeons, kestrels, and a goose. they have been separated into three distinct collectives according to their cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics. since they require v factors, they were tentatively assigned to the genus haemophilus winslow et al. 1917. this preliminary classification was checked by determination of guanine + cytosine conte ...19854074234
intranasal inoculation of chickens with encapsulated or nonencapsulated variants of haemophilus paragallinarum: electron microscopic evaluation of the nasal mucosa.chickens were inoculated intranasally with encapsulated or nonencapsulated strains of haemophilus paragallinarum. the nasal mucosa of the chickens were examined, using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. in chickens given the encapsulated variant, marked loss of cilia and microvilli, infiltration of leukocytes, and deposition of a mucopurulent substance were seen on the surface of the nasal mucosa; the number of microvillous cells were markedly increased, and infiltration of mast cell ...19854073645
lesions induced in the respiratory tract of chickens by encapsulated or nonencapsulated variants of haemophilus paragallinarum.lesions induced in chickens by an encapsulated or nonencapsulated strain of haemophilus paragallinarum were investigated. in terms of lesion severity, major differences in pathogenicity were observed between the encapsulated and nonencapsulated variants. the principal lesion manifested by the encapsulated variant was an acute catarrhal inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, mainly of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. infiltration of a large number of mast cells into the lamina propria ...19854003895
