Translocation of14C inLupinus albus

Classification of Staphylococcus albus

SYNOPSIS Strains of Gram-positive, catalase-positive, coagulase-negative cocci isolated from urine specimens were classified by the system of Baird-Parker (1963). Urinary infections attributed to instrumentation or pathological abnormalities of the urinary tract were caused almost entirely by various Staphylococcus subgroups. These showed a wide range of antibiotic sensitivities, unrelated to s...

Quinolizidine alkaloid profiles of Lupinus varius orientalis, L. albus albus, L. hartwegii, and L. densiflorus.

Alkaloid profiles of two Lupinus species growing naturally in Egypt (L. albus albus [synonym L. termis], L. varius orientalis) in addition to two New World species (L. hartwegii, L. densiflorus) which were cultivated in Egypt were studied by capillary GLC and GLC-mass spectrometry with respect to quinolizidine alkaloids. Altogether 44 quinolizidine, bipiperidyl and proto-indole alkaloids were i...

Inositol phospholipids: Translocation, translocation, translocation …

The pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of a number of proteins have been found to interact in vitro with inositol phospholipids; recent experiments show that these interactions may be important in directing protein translocation to specific parts of the cell following stimulus-induced lipid breakdown or synthesis.

Cellulose Adherence Factors in Ruminococcus albus

Muralytic Activities of Ruminococcus albus 8.

Ruminococcus albus 8 was cultured with isolated alfalfa cell walls as the carbon source. The culture broth was assayed for muralytic enzyme activities. The effect, with respect to the production of such muralytic enzymes, of growing the microorganism on different carbon sources was also investigated. Also, the rates of solubilization and utilization by R. albus of individual alfalfa cell wall s...
