improvements of the membrane filter method for dna:rrna hybridization. | we describe and recommend the following improvements of dna:rrna membrane filter hybridization methods. one of our aims was to avoid dna release from filter discs during hybridization. 1. our hybridization conditions are 2 ssc in aq. dest., with 20% formamide, 50 c, overnight for 16 hr. 2. duplexing is over in 8-10 hr. 3. formamide has to be very pure (o.d. less than or equal to 0.2/cm light path at 270 nm). 4. rnaase treatment: 250 mug/5 ml 2 ssc/filter at 37 c for 1 hr. 5. our conditions for s ... | 1975 | 1082296 |
a mixed bacterial population in a continuous culture with and without kaolinite. | chromobacterium lividum and a pseudomonas sp. were grown in pure and mixed continuous culture with and without the clay-mineral, kaolinite. irrespective of the growth conditions, c. lividum adhered to the wall of the culture vessel whereas the pseudomonas sp. showed no such tendency, at least visually. during mixed culture studies, the organism which was initially established in the culture dominated. the ratio between c. lividum and the pseudomonas sp. was about 20:1 when c. lividum was first e ... | 1975 | 1089463 |
effect of chlorpromazine on the respiration and hexose monophosphate dehydrogenases of gram-negative bacteria. | the drug chlorpromazine inhibits respiration in several gram-negative bacteria. the enzymes glucose-6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from these microorganisms are not affected by the drug. | 1975 | 1090352 |
a maximal predictive classification of klebsielleae and of the yeasts. | the concepts of the numerical method of maximal predictive classification are illustrated with classifications of 13 species of enterobacteria and of 434 species of yeast. the method seeks to classify into a specified number of classes (k) such that more correct statements can be made about the constituent members than with any other classification. the best choice of k relates to the separation of the classes as measured by the average number of correct statements made for an individual assigne ... | 1975 | 1113078 |

metabolism of n-carbobenzoxyl-l-tryptophan by chromobacterium violaceum. | chromobacterium violaceum (atcc 12472) metabolizes n-carbobenzoxyl-l-tryptophan into its 2', 3'-dehydro-derivative, and indole-3-propionic acid into indole-3-acrylic acid. the biotransformation accurs in resting cell incubations, and in growing cultures of the bacterium. tryptophan in fermentation media enhances the ability of chromobacterium violaceum to perform the conversion by an undetermined mechanism. the amino acid also prevents stored cultures from losing the ability to accomplish the ... | 1975 | 1125258 |
taxonomic position and seasonal variations in marine neritic environment of some gram-negative antibiotic-producing bacteria. | six marine bacteria which synthesize macromolecular antibiotics were isolated from neritic waters on the french mediterranean coast, and their frequency recorded over two successive years. they appeared in relatively large numbers during the period august to december, and can be identified as marine pseudomonads; however, the low guaninecytosine ratio of their dna, lack of catalase and specific self-inhibition are not compatible with the characteristics of the genus pseudomonas. two produced vi ... | 1975 | 1141855 |

studies on the mechanism of the lipase reaction. ii. comparative studies on the adsorption of lipases and various proteins at the air-water interface. | adsorption of lipases (ec 3.1.1.3) and various proteins at the air-water interface has been investigated in relation to the mechanism of lipase reaction. aqueous solutions of lipases and denaturated proteins show surface activity as strong as that of synthetic detergents. however, ths surface activity of esterases and various other proteins is little or none. by foam fractionation it was shown that lipases were adsorbed at the air-water interface and the adsorption followed the equation of langm ... | 1975 | 1171698 |
characteristics of yellow-pigmented nonfermentative bacilli (groups ve-1 and ve-2) encountered in clinical bacteriology. | the morphological and physiological characteristics of 20 strains of motile, gram-negative, yellow-pigmented oxidative bacilli (groups ve-1 and ve-2) isolated in clinical bacteriology are described. electron micrographs demonstrate the polar multitrichous flagella of group ve-1 and polar monotrichous flagella of group ve-2. data obtained from guanine plus cytosine ratio studies of 56.8% for ve-1 and 68.9% for ve-2 distinguish the two groups of bacteria. | 1975 | 1176609 |
