OBJECTIVE To evaluate relations between production and conjugation of bilirubin in the pathophysiology of jaundice in glucose-6-phosophate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient neonates. METHODS Term and borderline premature (35-37 weeks gestational age), healthy, male, G6PD deficient neonates were studied close to the beginning of the 3rd day. Blood carboxyhaemogobin corrected for inspired CO (COHb...

Brock, Thomas D. (Indiana University, Bloomington). Biochemical and cellular changes occurring during conjugation in Hansenula wingei. J. Bacteriol. 90:1019-1025. 1954.-A technique has been devised for deagglutinating mixed populations of conjugating cells so as to be able to visualize microscopically early stages of the conjugation process. A cell can form a conjugation tube only when in conta...

Horizontal gene transfer mediated by plasmid conjugation plays a significant role in the evolution of bacterial species, as well as in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity determinants. Characterization of their regulation is important for gaining insights into these features. Relatively little is known about how conjugation of Gram-positive plasmids is regulated. We hav...

Abstract Dicationic bis‐quinolinium salts possessing different types of conjugation are presented in which the hetareniums separated by acetylenic or 1,4‐diethynylbenzene spacers. Cross‐conjugation is induced interconnections via 3‐positions heteroareniums, and realized 2,2/2,4/4,4‐interconnections. We also synthesized mixed cross‐conjugated/conjugated 2,3/4,3‐interconnected species. The determ...
