AIMS Pectobacterium carotovorum is a heterogeneous species consisting of two named subspecies, P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum and P. carotovorum subsp. odoriferum. A third subspecies, P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliense, was previously proposed. The study aimed to confirm the subspecies status and validate the proposed name of P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliense using a novel and standard microb...

Chick embryo tendon fibroblasts were cultured with [3H]amino acids for 4, 8, and 24 h. Procollagen V was found in the cell layer. The chain composition predominantly corresponded to [(proal V), prorv2 VI, and a small proportion existed as the disulfide-linked heterotrimer and dimer. It was progressively converted to p-collagen V and collagen V which were found both in the cell layer and in the ...

The past 50 years have witnessed a monumental advance in our understanding of pharmacodynamics (what drugs do to the body) and pharmacokinetics (what the body does to drugs). In the realm of pharmacokinetics, dozens of enzymes responsible for drug biotransformation and transporters responsible for the absorption, distribution and excretion of drugs have been identified. Drug biotransformation (...

Analysing and monitoring users’ engaged-behaviours continuously and under ecologically valid conditions can reveal valuable information for designers and practitioners, allowing them to analyse, design and monitor the interactive mediated activity, and then to adapt and personalise it. An interactive mediated activity is a human activity supported by digital interactive technologies. While clas...

Nine spontaneous mutants with altered forms of flagellar antigen i were obtained by picking more rapidly spreading swarms from growth in semi-solid medium containing enough anti-i serum to retard spreading growth. One mutant was in a line of Salmonella typhi given antigen i by transduction, the rest in S . typhimurium strain L T ~ adeC-7 proA-46. Two mutants of independent origin were serologic...
