Utilization of acetate by Tetrahymena geleii (S).
Tetrahymena geleii (S) (Colpidium camp&m) is a ciliated protozoan which has been shown to be capable of synthesizing lipides from protein at an unusually high rate (1, 2). The next obvious step in studies concerned with the metabolism of this organism, therefore, seemed to be a search for the compound, or compounds, serving as precursor of the lipide material. Acetate is known to play a key r&e...
متن کاملAcetate utilization in sheep.
Acetate, an important metabolite in most species, has a unique place in ruminant metabolism. As the major product of ruminal and caecal fermentation, acetate provides much of the energy requirements of ruminant tissues. Little information is available, however, on the overall utilization of acetate in sheep. Intravenous-acetate tolerance tests in sheep (Jarrett, Potter & Filsell, 1952; Pugh & S...
متن کاملUptake of rb and k by excised maize roots.
Radioactive isotopes are valuable tools for investigating the uptake and transport of ions by biological material. Their use as tracers provide results that often can be obtained only by such a technique. The reliability of isotopes as tracers, however, is sometimes implicitly accepted. Although the pitfalls are widely known, they are often ignored. The hazards were emphasized for us in the use...
متن کاملModulation of maize roots H(+)-ATPase by sulfated polysaccharides.
Vesicles derived from maize roots retain a membrane bound H(+)-ATPase that is able to pump H+ at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. In this work it is shown that heparin, fucose-branched chondroitin sulfate and dextran sulfate 8000 promote a shift of the H(+)-ATPase optimum pH from 6.0 to 7.0. This shift is a result of a dual effect of the sulfated polysaccharides, inhibition at pH 6.0 and activati...
متن کاملStabilization of nitrate reductase in maize roots by chymostatin.
Nitrate reductase (NR) in maize (Zea mays cv W64A x W182E) roots has been stabilized in vitro by the addition of chymostatin to extraction buffer. Contrary to previous observations, levels of NR were higher in the mature root than in root tip sections when chymostatin was included in the extraction buffer. Two forms of NR were identified, an NADH monospecific NR found mainly in the 1cm root tip...
