| poly(8-aminoguanylic acid): formation of ordered self-structures and interaction with poly(cytidylic acid). | poly(8-aminoguanylic acid) has in neutral solution a novel ordered structure of high stability. the 8-amino group permits formation of three hydrogen bonds between two residues along the "top", or long axis, of the purines. the usual hydrogen bonding protons and watson-crick pairing sites are not involved in the association. the bonding scheme has a twofold rotation axis and is hemiprotonated at n(7). poly(8nh2g) is converted by alkaline titration (pk = 9.7) to a quite different ordered structur ... | 1975 | 37 |
| membrane-reversible h+-atpase from micrococcus lysodeikticus. | treatment of phosphorylating fragments of bacterial membrane from micrococcus lysodeikticus with trypsin leads to increase atpase activity. as a result of this treatment, the membrane fragments acquire the ability to transform the atp energy into transmembrane difference in potential. dithiothreitol has a similar effect to that of trypsin on the membrane fragments from m. lysodeikticus. dicyclohexylcarbodimide inhibits atpase of the membrane fragments of m. lysodeikticus, and also the atpase-rea ... | 1976 | 4306 |

| [examination of market carps for residues of antimicrobial agents]. | the residues of inhibitory substances in the muscle, hepatopancreas, bile, and pyloric caeca of 30 carps from ponds south of brno were examined by the microbiological diffusion method. the following testing micro-organisms were used: b. cereus var. mycoides (atcc 11778), b. subtilis (atcc 6633), sarcina lutea (atcc 9341), and micrococcus flavus (atcc 10240). residues of inhibitory substances were not found in any of the muscle samples tested. the rest of the tested tissues showed, in some cases, ... | 1978 | 100930 |
| sequence of a rabbit anti-micrococcus lysodeikticus antibody light chain. | the complete sequence of rabbit antibody light-chain l 120 has been elucidated. the antibody was raised against micrococcus lysodeikticus bacteria and is specific for the external part of the cell wall. all protein used in this work was obtained from a single 50-ml bleeding. the variable region of l 120 is compared to 13 other sequences of chains of different specificities. the constant region of this b4 k chain is identical to that of two other constant regions published earlier. the general st ... | 1978 | 101240 |
| [restriction of washing and its effect to the normal human skin flora. quantitative and qualitative investigations of the aerobic skin flora (author's transl)]. | the behaviour of the aerobic skin flora of the flexor sides of the forearms, under a three-week restriction of washing, was investigated in twenty-four patients for its quantitative and qualitative aspects. the combined scrabbing-washing method was used as described by burtenshaw with ringer's solution. after a three-week restriction of washing, using the wilcoxon test, statistically no significant changes in the total number of microorganisms were found in areas investigated in the intermittent ... | 1978 | 102263 |
| particle-based axenic media for tetrahymenids. | autoclavable, natural particulate media simplify axenic cultivation of tetrahymenid ciliates and presumably favor selection for phagotrophy. viability is at least 2 months at room temperature (24-26 c) for the lipid-sensitive tetrahymenids tetrahymena setosa, t. corlissi, t. paravorax, t. limacis, and t. patula, also for t. rostrata and (at 12 c), for strains of the t. pyriformis complex and glaucoma chattoni. a typical medium consists of crude soy "lecithin" + skim milk powder + saccharomyces c ... | 1978 | 102786 |
| quantitative studies on competitive activities of skin bacteria growing on solid media. | earlier quantitative investigations of antagonism between skin bacteria were based on the use of liquid cultures, but a more realistic model has now been devised, based on the use of the surfaces of solid media. pure or mixed inocula were spread evenly over suitable agar media in petri dishes marked out with a standard grid. growth curves were constructed from viable counts of the surface bacteria after they had been removed from excised squares of the agar media and dispersed. the method was hi ... | 1978 | 102799 |
| [microbiological studies on bacterial spectra of milk samples from healthy udder quarters and from those with increased cell counts and/or conductivity values]. | the germ levels of 2,182 milk samples obtained from udder quarters with subclinical mastitis were compared to milk sampled from 2,061 udder quarters with physiological cell counts or conductivity values. three cattle herds were involved in the test programme. no germ growth was established from 9.5 per cent of all samples taken from udder quarters with increased cell counts and conductivities and from 4.1 per cent of those samples taken from intact udder quarters. samples taken from udder quarte ... | 1978 | 104694 |
| comparative in vivo nitrogen-15 nuclear magnetic resonance study of the cell wall components of five gram-positive bacteria. | the proton-decoupled 9.12 mhz 15n nmr spectra of 15n-labeled bacillus subtilis, bacillus licheniformis, staphylococcus auresu, streptococcus faecalis, and micrococcus lysodeikticus intact cells, isolated cells walls, and cell wall digests have been examined. the general characteristics of gram-positive bacteria 15n nmr spectra and described and spectral assignments are provided, which allow in vivo 15n nmr to be applied to a wide range of problems in bacterial cell wall research. the qualitative ... | 1979 | 105756 |
| [results of measuring the modulus of elasticity of microorganism cell walls]. | the elasticity modulus of escherichia coli cell walls was found to change in the course of growth of the culture. it decreased in the middle of the exponential phase, apparently as a result of intensification of biosynthetic and related to them transport processes at this period. if the cells were treated with edta, their elasticity modulus was lower, by an order of magnitude, than that of the control cell walls. if the cells were treated with lysozyme, the elasticity modulus of their walls decr ... | 1979 | 106226 |
| interaction of phenosafranine with nucleic acids and model polyphosphates. iii. heterogeneity in phenosafranine interactions with dna base pairs. | fluorescence and circular dichroism spectral measurements, thermal denaturation studies and binding competition experiments with netropsin and actinomycin d were carried out in systems containing phenosafranine bound to dna's differing in base composition. the investigated properties exhibit a heterogeneity related to the content of a.t and g.c pairs in dna and to the nature of phenosafranine binding modes. at low level of saturation of binding sites (r less than 0.1) phenosafranine does not sho ... | 1979 | 106900 |

| preparation and antibacterial activity upon micrococcus luteus of derivatives of iturin a, mycosubtilin and bacillomycin l, antibiotics from bacillus subtilis. | methylated and acetylated derivatives of iturin a and mycosubtilin and methylated derivatives of bacillomycin l were prepared and their antibacterial activity on micrococcus luteus was compared with the activity of the original substance. the results obtained show the importance of polar groups for the antibiotic activity of the substances of iturin group. | 1979 | 108238 |
| interactions between bacterial membranes and peptidolipids: lysis of micrococcus luteus protoplasts by derivatives of peptidolipidic antibiotics from bacillus subtilis. | the lysis of protoplasts of micrococcus luteus has been tested with various derivatives of three peptidolipidic antibiotics: iturin a, mycosubtilin and bacillomycin l. the lytic activity is dependent to the nature of the substituting group and to the position of the substituted aminoacid residue. the acetylation of oh groups leads to a decrease of the lytic activity of the natural antibiotics. the methylation of aspartyl residues of bacillomycin l gives a strong lytic activity while natural baci ... | 1979 | 109121 |
