This review gives an account of some of the factors affecting the transport of oxygen from the lungs until its final discharge in the tissues. The sequence of physiological and metabolic processes to be described may be considered collectively as the 'coarse adjust-ment' of oxygen transport. The 'fine adjustment' will be discussed in the succeeding chapter which surveys the local factors influe...

no. ISTN3X; 96% identical), comprising one of Tn3-like inverted repeats and putative coding regions for transposase, resolvase (also called repressor), and ampicillin resistance. The resistance gene encodes a TEM-1 type β-lactamase. (The sequence has been registered to DDBJ/GenBank/ EMBL with accession no. AB103092.) Conjugative transferability of p981123 between S. Enteritidis strains was exam...
