effect of polaymines on yeast cell-free protein synthesizing system. i. influence of spermine and spermidine on aminoacyl-trna transfer reaction.spermine and spermidine added to a saccharomyces cerevisiae cell-free protein synthesizing system increased phenylalanine polymerization reaction several-fold at suboptimal concentration of mg2+ and approximately two-fold at optimal amounts of mg2+. the addition of polyamines greatly stimulated the enzymatic and nonenzymatic binding of phenylalanyl-trna and n-acetylphenylalanyl-trna to ribosomes. the binding of the acetylated derivative was higher than phenylalanyl-trna, however, as it was shown ...197662494
effect of polyamines on yeast cell-free protein synthesizing system. ii. increase stability of cell-free system in the presence of spermine.the addition of spermine, at concentration which stimulates protein synthesis, to the yeast cell-free system significantly increases the thermal stability of the latter. similar stabilizing effect of polyamine is observed for ribosome-poly u-ac-phe-trna complexes. these results suggest that the stimulatory effect of polyamines on the in vitro protein synthesis might be partly due to the increased stability of ribosomes and ribosome-peptydyl-trna complexes.197662495
nutrition of bacillus brevis atcc 9999, the producer of gramicidin s.the nutrition of the gramicidin s (gs) producer bacillus brevis atcc 9999 was studied with respect to growth and antibiotic production. in a complex medium containing yeast extract and peptone, only glycerol, d-fructose, and meso-inositol contributed to growth, whereas other hexoses, pentoses, polyols, polysaccharides, and organic acids were inactive. glycerol and fructose were inhibitory to gs formation; inositol had no effect. in chemically defined media containing a mixture of five amino acid ...197662553

mutagenic and lethal effects of alpha-benzene hexachloride, dibutyl phthalate and trichloroethylene in saccharomyces cerevisiae.saccharomyces cerevisiae strain xv185-14c for reversion studies was used to investigate the genetic activity of alpha-benzene hexachloride dibutyl phthalate and trichloroethylene. the results indicate that none of the three compounds was genetically active when yeast cells were treated in phosphate buffer (ph 7.0) in the absence of metabolic conversion. however, in the presence of the 9000 g supernatant of mice liver homogenate, nadp, glucose-6-phosphate, phosphate buffer (ph 7.4), mgcl2, kcl, t ...197769268
[immunologic properties of various cell fractions of a wild strain and a mutant strain of saccharomyces cerevisiae hansen].some fractions of the saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall have been prepared by the action of helix pomatia juice on intact cells. immunosera were obtained by injecting rabbits with these fractions. immunofluorescence reactions, obtained with these sera, show that some fractions of mannopeptides when extracted from a "smooth-colony" mutant strain, have lost antigenic determinants.197770263
phenothiazine phototoxicity: an experimental study on chlorpromazine and related tricyclic drugs.a large number of phenothiazines and chemically related tricyclic drugs have been studied with respect to their phototoxic potency. two methods were used, an in vivo technique based on the inflammatory response of the mouse tail after systemic administration of the drug plus uva irradiation, and an in vitro method based on growth inhibition of candida albicans. of 27 commercial tricyclic drugs tested in vivo, the most potent were chlorpromazine and two other chlorinated compounds, prochlorperazi ...197770925
nutritive role of different carbohydrates for the growth and survial of oryzaephilus mercator fauvel (coleoptera).recent investigations on the nutritive role of different carbohydrates for the survival and growth of oryzaephilus mercator show that fructose, glucose, dextrin and glycogen are of high nutritive value, fructose being even better than natural control diet (wheat + 5% yeast). maltose, soluble starch, mannitol and sorbitol, although support some growth, are not of as good nutritive value as control diet. all pentoses, sorbose, galactose, lactose, raffinose, potato starch, inulin and dulcitol are o ...197671029

cell antigens recognized by rabbit antibodies specific for oligomannosyl determinants.rabbit antibodies to cell wall mannans of various microbial strains and their mutants were found to be cross-reactive to cell carbohydrates of mammalian sperm and 4-6-days-old blastocysts. immunochemical studies indicate that oligomers of alpha1 yields to 2, alpha1 yields to 3, alpha1 yields to 6, and probably also alpha yields to 4 linked mannose residues of sperm carbohydrates are available for antibody binding. at least 80 percent of binding activity of a yeast mannan antibody to sperm can be ...197773630
cultural and physiological characteristics of clostridium botulinum type g and the susceptibility of certain animals to its toxin.strain 89 of clostridium botulinum type g, isolated by gimenez and ciccarelli in 1969, was characterized culturally, biochemically, and toxigenically. it was motile, hemolytic asaccharolytic, weakly proteolytic, lipase and lecithinase negative, and it produced acetic, isobutyric, butyric, and isovaleric acids in peptone-yeast extract-glucose broth. no spores were seen in smears from solid or liquid media. very low levels of toxin were produced in regular broth cultures, but dialysis cultures yie ...197774236
fluorescent staining of fungal nuclei with a benzimidazol derivative.a direct staining procedure is described for fluorescence microscopy of fungal nuclei, chromosomes and mitochondria. the fluorochrome is a benzimidazol derivative (33258 hoechst) known to bind selectively to deoxyribonucleic acid at neutral ph. the advantages of 33258 hoechst relative to feulgen compounds used previously to stain these structures include a greater intensity of fluorescence, the absence of fading or rapid quenching of the fluorescence, and the omission of acid hydrolysis from th ...197875211
humic-like substances of bacterial origin. i. some aspects of the formation and nature of humic-like substances produced by pseudomonas.two bacterial strains pseudomonas acidovorans no 26 and pseudomonas sp. no 4 grown in conn and yeast extract-glucose media, or in the media enriched with tyrosine, were found to produce dark brown pigment. it was shown that in the bacterial cultures numerous phenolic and quinone-type compounds were formed and transformed to humic-like polymers. formation of humic-like substances started in the bacterial cells and was accompanied by the presence of phenyloxidases in the bacterial cultures. the ba ...197775666
on the synthesis of serine and homoserine samples asymmetrically labelled with tritium and deuterium in the hydroxymethylene group.(1r) [1-3h, 2h1] 3-phenylpropanol, the key intermediate in the synthesis of (4r) [4-3h, 2h1] d,l-homoserine and of the (4s)-isomer, is obtained from (1s) [1-2h1] 3-phenylpropanol and (1rs) [1-3h] ethanol upon incubation with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and nad+; under similar conditions 2-phenylethanol undergoes very small exchange with [1-2h2] ethanol.197875808
[study of pli genes action on the cell wall structure of "saccharomyces cerevisiae" hansen (author's transl)].a study of the composition of cell walls extracted from a wild strain and three mutant strains "smooth colony" of saccharomyces cerevisiae had been done. it points out differences in the mannose/glucose ratio and in the concentration of some other components of the cell wall in the mutant strains. the immunological study of the cell wall shows that "smooth colonies" mutants and wild strains differs in their mannoproteins.197776456
[comparison of methods for the quantitative detection of moulds in foods. i. communication: selective staining procedures for the directmicroscopic mould count (author's transl)].the most important proposed direct microscopic method for the detection of moulds were critically compared in 9 different nonfluid foods, of which 7 were naturally and 2 were artifically moulded.--neither the rot fragment test, nor the howard mould count or the naoh treatment method proposed by mossel (1975) were satisfying with non-fluid foods.--a significant improvement of the direct microscopic detection in the breed-smear could be achieved by selective product specific staining of the fungi ...197877118
yeast dna polymerases: antigenic relationship, use of rna primer and associated exonuclease activity.highly purified preparation of dna polymerases a and b from yeast were compared with respect to antigenic relationship, ability to use ribonucleotide primers and associated nuclease activity. the following results were obtained. 1. antiserum directed against dna polymerase a inhibits this enzyme but does not interfere with activity of dna polymerase b or of mitochondrial dna polymerase, nor does it precipitate the latter two enzymes. 2. dna polymerase a is capable of using oligo(ribouridylic aci ...197877222
reverse transcription of trna.the 3' terminus of trna was enzymatically elongated by an oligo(a) tail. a fragment of dna polymerase i (e. coli) was used in the presence of manganese to phase and synthesize a cleavable primer at the oligo(a)-trna template. when the threedimensional structure of oligo(a)-trna is being unfolded under conditions where the primer is still hybridized at the oligo(a) tail, the dna polymerase i fragment transcribes oligo(a)-trna into dna. reverse transcription is slowed down and its fidelity suspend ...197877522

inosiplex, a stimulating agent for normal human t cells and human leukocytes.the influence of inosiplex upon various in vitro leucocyte assays was studied in normal individuals. it was found that the drug increases the response of bidirectional and unidirectional mixed lymphocyte cultures at concentrations of 200, 300, and 500 microgram/ml. it also significantly increases the percentage of active t rosettes (concentration range: 50 to 500 microgram/ml) and the percentage of autologous red cell t rosettes (concentration: 100 microgram/ml). in contrast, inosiplex did not m ...197880429
inhibition of reverse transcription of 70s and 35s avian myeloblastosis rnas by nonprimer trna's.we studied the kinetics of the reverse transcription of 70s and 35s rna of avian myeloblastosis virus in the presence and absence of various trna's. all trna's inhibited synthesis. trna's from escherichia coli and yeast exhibited a noncompetitive type of inhibition, i.e., they bound reversibly and randomly and did not alter the affinity of the viral rna for the polymerase. nonprimer trna's obtained from 70s rna molecules produced a complex pattern of inhibition. the results show that the nonprim ...197880459
responses of radiation-sensitive mutants of saccharomyces cerevisiae to lethal effects of bleomycin.haploid and diploid strains of yeast containing genes conferring radiation-sensitivity were studied under growing and nongrowing experimental conditions for their relative sensitivities to growth-inhibitory effects of bleomycin (bm). the rad1, rad2, rad3, rad4, rad5 (and allelic rev2), rad7, rad10, rad11, rad 12, rad14, rad15, rad16 and rev3 strains exhibited responses similar to normal (rad+) yeast strains. it is concluded from these findings that the excision-repair function deficient in sever ...197880746
[essay of proteins after aldehyde treatment in biological objects (author's transl)].following fixation with formalin or glutaraldehyde, the protein content of bovine serum albumin, lysozyme, non-disintegrated yeast cells and liver nuclei of mice is determined by means of a brom-phenol blue staining procedure and the widely used lowry-technique. the bromphenol blue technique permits determinations of soluble as well as particulate proteins or protein mixtures fixed with up to 6% formalin or 2% glutaraldehyde. recovery rates differ no more than 20% as related to unfixed controls. ...197880908

nuclear division in temperature-sensitive multicellular mutants of wangiella dermatitidis.temperature-sensitive morphological mutants of wangiella dermatitidis were stained with mithramycin, a fluorescent nuclear stain. multicellular forms of the mutants each contained two or more nuclei, documenting that nuclear division accompanied the yeast-to-multicellular form conversion.197986536
[use of a method of staining sections with methyl green-pyronine for histobacterioscopic purposes].a method of staining of histological sections with methyl green-pyronine for histobacterioscopic detection of microflora in tissues is proposed. a bright red staining with pyronine of microbial agents and yeast-like fungi of the genus candida due to a high content of rna in them permits elective detection of their insignificant amounts in tissues even at low magnifications of the microscope.197987185
antibodies to germinating and yeast cells of candida albicans in human and rabbit sera.two major antigenic components, i and ii, were detected by double immunodiffusion in sonic extracts of the germinating (g) or yeast (y) cells of the dimorphis organism, candida albicans group a. component i may be a heterogeneous mixture of antigens which are stable to heating and phenol. component ii is more homogeneous but is labile to heat and phenol. rabbit antisera, showing only precipitin to component ii or certain human sera at high dilution, were found to react with g cells to give an im ...197987404
food allergies and migraine.60 migraine patients completed elimination diets after a 5-day period of withdrawal from their normal diet. 52 (87%) of these patients had been using oral contraceptive steroids, tobacco, and/or ergotamine for an average of 3 years, 22 years, and 7.4 years respectively. the commonest foods causing reactions were wheat (78%), orange (65%), eggs (45%), tea and coffee (40% each), chocolate and milk (37%) each), beef (35%), and corn, cane sugar, and yeast (33% each). when an average of ten common fo ...197987628
lactase degradation by human enteric bacteria.twelve non-pathogenic bacteria and two yeast strains isolated from the duodenal aspirate or mucosa of five children with diarrhoea were tested for their ability to degrade non-human lactase in vitro. both yeast strains and eleven of the bacterial strains significantly reduced lactase activity. a similar action on human lactase could be a cause of lactose intolerance.197988558
enzymic polyadenylation of 5s ribosomal ribonucleic acid and synthesis of a complementary deoxyribonucleic acid.the 5s ribosomal rna has been isolated, pure and intact, from rat liver (5 mg of 5s rna from 150g of liver). the 5s rna serves as a primer for calf thymus poly(a) polymerase with 20% of the efficiency of (ap)3a. bacterial 5s rna and transfer rna also serve as primers; rat liver 18s and 28s ribosomal rnas support poly(a) synthesis poorly. neither the 5s rna primer nor the appended poly(a) tract is nicked or degraded by poly(a) polymerase, and initiation of poly(a) tracts on 5s rna primers continu ...197988957
autoregulation of germ tube formation by candida albicans.germ tube formation by candida albicans is at least partially controlled by a product(s) of the yeast phase of the organism which is released from cells upon incubation at 37 degrees c in tissue culture medium or fetal calf serum. this germination regulatory substance is stable under conditions of lyophilization and heating of 70 degrees c, but becomes inactivated at ph values of 4.0 and 9.5. a germination regulatory substance was produced by both strains of c. albicans tested and by a strain of ...197989087
distribution of anionic groups at the cell surface of different sporothrix schenckii cell types.the distribution of anionic groups at the cell surface of yeastlike forms, hyphae, and conidia of sporothrix schenckii was studied by staining with colloidal iron hydroxide and cationized ferritin. by using colloidal iron hydroxide it was shown that the external cell wall layer of one strain (strain 1099.18) could be resolved into two reactive sublayers and that these layers were present in many but not all cells of the same population. in contrast, most cells of another strain (strain 1099.12) ...197989092
receptor-mediated binding and internalization of leukocyte elastase by alveolar macrophages in vitro.radioiodinated leukocyte elastase was found to bind rapidly and specifically to alveolar macrophages in vitro. in contrast to the binding of pancreatic and bacterial proteases, leukocyte elastase binding did not require the presence of alpha 2 macroglobulin. the binding was inhibited by an excess of unlabeled enzyme and was saturable by increasing elastase concentrations. leukocyte elastase binding thus met criteria for receptor-mediated binding, with and estimated association constant of 4.97 x ...197989120

new method for estimating digestion of paracoccidioides brasiliensis by phagocytic cells in vitro.we describe a method by which phagocytosis and digestion of paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast cells by polymorphonuclear leukocytes or other phagocytic cells may be estimated. suspensions of p. brasiliensis in its yeastlike phase were sonicated, counted, and incubated with known numbers of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes. at given intervals, cytocentrifuge droplets were stained by a variation of papanicolaou's method. stained preparations were examined with phase-contrast optics. ...197990683
atypical legionella-like organisms: fastidious water-associated bacteria pathogenic for man.a group of related bacteria designated atypical legionella-like organisms (allo) has been identified. allo, like l. pneumophila, are fastidious gram-negative rods that grow well on charcoal yeast extract (cye) agar and produce ground glass colonies and browning of modified yeast extract agar. unlike l. pneumophila, allo do not grow well on feeley-gorman (fg) agar, and on cye agar they fluoresce under longwave ultraviolet light. allo and l. pneumophila have a similar predominance of branched-chai ...197991024

blastomycosis: report of three cases from alberta with a review of canadian cases.approximately 120 cases of blastomycosis have been reported from canada to-date. the great majority of these occurred in the eastern provinces. since 1970, three cases of blastomycosis have been seen in alberta. the first case, with meningeal and pulmonary involvements, was diagnosed at post-mortem. the second case was that of a 75-year-old male with a history of pancytopenia, aortic arteriosclerosis, exposure to mercury, and fever. koh and periodic-acid schiff (pas) stained smears of the lung t ...197991108
spontaneous and induced non-specific drug resistance in saccharomyces cerevisiae.nitrous acid, diepoxybutane and methyl methane sulfonate induce effectively non-mitochondrial chloramphenicol-resistant mutants cross-resistant to other drugs. hno2 induces also unstable erythromycin resistant mutants. the ability of the mutants to grow on antibiotic media can be modified by detergents, guanidine hydrochloride or increased osmotic pressure of the medium. this suggests that the resistance is due to changes in cell membrane permeability similar to those described by rank, robertso ...197992168
