the location of acid invertase activity and sucrose in the vacuoles of storage roots of beetroot (beta vulgaris).	vacuoles were isolated from freshly cut slices of the storage roots of beetroot (beta vulgaris), and from slices that had been washed in aerated water for 1-3 days. the unique vacuolar location of betanin permitted the use of a correlative method to determine whether sucrose and acid invertase were located in the vacuoles. the specific content (the activity of the enzyme or amount of substrate per mg of protein) and the percentage recoveries for betanin, sucrose and acid invertase were determine ...	1979	454363
superiority of a soil debris isolation method over a beet seed colonization method for assay of rhizoctonia solani at high soil inoculum densities.	a quantitative soil debris isolation method (all debris from known weight of soil plated) and a garden beet seed saprophytic colonization method were compared over a 1-year period for assaying rhizoctonia solani population. four fields of different soil textures were selected. within each field four areas of healthy and four areas of diseases (rhizoctonia root and crown rot) sugarbeets were sampled bimonthly from august 1976 until june 1977. the maximum numbers of r. solani colonies obtained by ...	1979	427651
[new toxins from aspergillus fumigatus fresenius].	a strain of aspergillus fumigatus fres., isolated from sugar-beet draffs, synthesizes in vitro four toxic metabolites which have not yet been described in these fungal species. toxic effects of the most abundant of these metabolites "fumitoxin a" have been studed on chick embryo. artemia salina larvae, cell cultures, and on mice.	1978	418904
[effect of wood waste on the digestibility of glycides and level of volatile fatty acids in sheep].	sheep were subject to an experiment concerning the effect of treated beech sawdust and thickened aqueous hydrolyzate of beech wood (xylocel) on the digestibility of glycides and on the level of volatile fatty acids (vfa) in the rumen content. the results prove that the use of treated beech sawdust as a replacer for ground barley straw favourably influenced the digestibility of monosaccharides, cellulose, lignin and total dry matter of the diet. sawdust reduced the concentration of total vfa in t ...	1977	413245
