| dissimilatory nitrate reduction in clostridium tertium. | fermentation balance studies were carried out on clostridium tertium grown with and without nitrate in the medium. nitrate reduction increased the efficiency of energy produced from glucose by permitting the utilization of additional sites of substrate level phosphorylation. the effect was even more dramatic in c. tertium than in c. perfringens, with increased cell yields of about 30% being observed in the former compared with 20% in the latter. unlike c. perfringens, c. tertium responded to the ... | 1977 | 203129 |
| immunochemical studies on blood group a substance from human hair. | blood group a-active substance was extracted from urea-treated human hair uith methanol-ethyl ether 1:1, v/v) or chloroform-methanol (1:1, v/v). the serological activity of blood group a substance in the hair was destroyed by a-decomposing enzyme from clostridium tertium with concomitant development of blood group h activity. it is concluded therefore that the extract from the hair of group a contained blood group a-active glycolipid with n-acetylgalactosamine as the non-reducing sugar. | 1977 | 602448 |
