Ewingella americana was grown in batch cultures using a phenol-containing M9 minimal medium. Phenol was found to be the sole source for carbon and energy. Phenol was found to inhibit the growth rate with a maximum concentration of 1100 ppm, beyond which no growth occurred. The Haldane model was used to predict the specific growth rate-concentration data. The maximum growth rates on phenol (300 ...

In a series of papers published over the past few years, [1]? [2]s a method called the combinatorics function techniques or CFT5 was perfected to obtain the solution of any linear partial difference equation subject to a set of initial values. Fibonacci-like recursion relations are a special case of difference equations that could be solved by the CFT method,, Although many applications of the ...

Antithrombin (AT), a member of the serine protease inhibitor family, is the key regulator of thrombin activity in vivo. Thrombin inhibition is accomplished by the formation of covalent thrombin-AT (TAT) complex. The rate of inhibition is accelerated by heparin, which also leads to the formation of a substantial amount of cleaved AT. We produced a murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) (M9) that is sp...

Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola synthesizes a non-host-specific toxin, phaseolotoxin, and also synthesizes a phaseolotoxin-resistant ornithine carbamoyltransferase (ROCT) to protect itself from its own toxin. ROCT is encoded by argK, which is expressed coordinately with phaseolotoxin synthesis at 18 degrees C. To investigate the regulatory mechanisms of this system, null mutants were cons...

Osmotic Shock is known to negatively affect growth rate along with an extended lag phase. The reduction in growth rate can be characterized as burden due to the osmotic stress. Studies have shown that production of unnecessary protein also burdens cellular growth. This has been demonstrated by growing Escherichia coli on glycerol in the presence of Isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) t...

Ginger has received extensive attention because of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities. However, the metabolic fate of its major components is still unclear. In the present study, the metabolism of [6]-shogaol, one of the major active components in ginger, was examined for the first time in mice and in cancer cells. Thirteen metabolites were detected and identified, sev...
