| biosynthesis of exopolysaccharide by pseudomonas aeruginosa. | in batch cultures of pseudomonas aeruginosa, the maximum rate of exopolysaccharide synthesis occurred during exponential growth. in nitrogen-limited continuous culture, the specific rate of exopolysaccharide synthesis increased from 0.27 g g of cell-1 h-1 at a dilution rate (d) of 0.05 h-1 to 0.44 g g of cells h-1 at d=0.1 h-1. the yield of exopolysaccharide on the basis of glucose used was in the range of 56 to 64%. exopolysaccharide was also synthesized in carbon-limited cultures at 0.19 g g o ... | 1978 | 96088 |
| molybdenum independence of nitrogenase component synthesis in the non-heterocystous cyanobacterium plectonema. | the cyanobacterium plectonema boryanum (iu 594-utex 594) fixes n2 only in the absence of combined n and of o2. we induced nitrogenase by transfer to anaerobic n-free medium and studied the effect of mo starvation on nitrogenase activity and synthesis. activity was first detected within 3 h after transfer by the acetylene reduction assay in controls, increasing for at least 25 h. cells grown on nitrate and mo and then transferred to n-free, mo-free medium produced 8% of the control nitrogenase ac ... | 1978 | 96092 |
| lower levels of thyrotropin-releasing hormone-degrading activity in human cord and in maternal sera than in the serum of euthyroid, nonpregnant adults. | thyrotropin-releasing hormone (trh)-degrading activity was investigated in human cord, maternal, and euthyroid adult sera by measuring (a) the rate of disappearance of trh and (b) the rate of formation of degradation products. the rate of trh degradation in cord and maternal sera was 25-33% of that in euthyroid adult serum. concomitantly, in cord and maternal sera, the rate of formation of proline, a major trh degradation product in serum, was one-quarter to one-third that in euthyroid adult ser ... | 1978 | 96140 |
| the significance of antidromic potentiation and induced activity in the retina. | it is argued that "the significance of antidromic potentiation and induced activity in the retina" (the title of this article) concerns two identical effects and that both are the outward sign of the existence of a specific organization in the retina. for this reason they can serve as a valuable criterion for identifying activity in this organization. this activity is assumed to be in the nature of a self-excitation by positive feedback in the amacrine circuits of certain y-cells. relevant liter ... | 1978 | 96310 |
