Plasmid-mediated chloramphenicol resistance in Staphylococcus aureus has been shown to involve acetylation of chloramphenicol by an enzyme induced by growth in the presence of the antibiotic and certain analogues. Analysis of the kinetics of induction has been complicated by (i) the intrinsic inhibitory effects of chloramphenicol on induced enzyme synthesis and (ii) the rapid disappearance of i...

Erythropoietin or colony-stimulating factor, or both, were added to rat or mouse marrow cell cultures, and the responses to each inducer were measured. Colony-stimulating factor caused the suppression of erythropoietin-stimulated hemoglobin synthesis, and erythropoietin caused the suppression of the granulocyte-macrophage colony formation that is dependent on colony-stimulating factor. The exte...

The expression of cellobiohydrolase I mRNA from Trichoderma reesei, measured by Northern blot hybridization, is controlled by the nature of carbon sources used in the culture medium. Cellulose and the soluble disaccharide sophorose, but not glycerol or glucose, act as inducers. Cellobiohydrolase I mRNA was undetectable when antibodies to the major members of the cellulolytic system were present...

We have prepared a cDNA probe that detects genes that are rapidly and abundantly expressed after exposure of inducer T-lymphocyte clones to antigen or mitogen. All inducer cells tested express a characteristic set of new mRNA, and these mRNAs are not expressed after activation of other lymphocytes. This initial burst of mRNA synthesis is paralleled by synthesis and secretion of a family of poly...

The sex pheromone protoplast release-inducing protein (PR-IP) inducer and a sexual cell division-inducing pheromone-minus (SCD-IP-minus) that mediates the sexual reproduction of the heterothallic Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale (C. psl) complex were investigated in this study. Recombinant PR-IP inducer produced by yeast cells was prepared and assayed for production of PR-IP and induc...

Enterobacter cloacae NUH10 was isolated at Nagasaki University Hospital in 1987. E. cloacae NUH10 is a mutant strain which produces high levels of cephalosporinase. E. cloacae ATCC 23355 is known to be sensitive to so-called third generation cephems and produces an inducible cephalosporinase. The polyclonal antibody to cephalosporinase extracted from E. cloacae NUH10 was utilized in post-embedd...

Abstract A stability control device (SCD) is a passive inlet cover treatment that can be applied to high suction performance inducers. Significant improvements in have been observed when an inducer operates with SCD, including suppression of backflow at the leading edge low off-design flow coefficients. This possible because local increase mass pump, which allows operate incidence near design p...
