but also appeared to have a more complex basis than was originally evident (Fig. 1). Additionally, contents of plastochromanol, a closely related compound (Whittle et al., 1965), showed an interesting pattern (Fig. 2). Under vegetative conditions the contents of both y-tocopherol and plastochromanol exhibited clear daily rhythmic changes in concentration. Both compounds accumulated during the d...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the dimensionality, stability, and course of depressive symptoms over the 12-month period beginning approximately 1 week before heart surgery. METHODS The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was administered to 570 patients before heart surgery and 1, 3.5, 6.5, and 12.5 months later. RESULTS Confirmatory factor analy...

Aspergillus niger forms aerial hyphae and conidiophores after a period of vegetative growth. The hyphae within the mycelium of A. niger are divided by septa. The central pore in these septa allows for cytoplasmic streaming. Here, we studied inter- and intra-compartmental streaming of the reporter protein GFP in A. niger. Expression of the gene encoding nuclear targeted GFP from the gpdA or glaA...

Induction of milk\disease in 50% of Japanese beetle (Popillia ;apmlica) !aIT,\(' 1)\· feeding requires about IQ1l spores of Bacilllls popilliae per gram of soil. The infectious process occurs in four phases: (1) An initial incubation phase of about :2 da~'s during which there is no evidence of infection in the hemoh-mph. (2) ,-\ \'egetative phase of poJiferation in the hemolymph which lasts unt...

Vegetative cells and spores of five strains of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (N-1100, N-1108, N-1096, SAC, and OS-CAJ) were screened for their sensitivity to high pressure homogenization (HPH, 0 to 300 MPa) in Bacillus acidoterrestris thermophilic broth. The most and least resistant strains, SAC and OS-CAJ, respectively, were further tested for their sensitivity to inactivation or growth inh...

One hundred and ten patients with persistent vegetative state, were followed up for a period of five years from 1973 to 1978. Seventy-three per cent of the patients died during the period while about 10% of them recovered partially from the vegetative state. Among the recovered patients, only three became able to communicate, but two of these are not independent for their daily activites. React...

Vegetative systems have long been studied and evaluated as alternatives to conventional storage, treatment, and land application systems. This paper discusses the application of vegetative systems, primarily constructed wetlands, as a runoff treatment technology for small livestock operations. The approach used for two small dairies and one beef cattle feedlot is discussed. Cost data for these ...

Streptomyces coelicolor produces spore-forming aerial hyphae after a period of vegetative growth. These aerial structures are decorated with a hydrophobic coating of rodlets consisting of chaplins and rodlins. Here, we show that rodlins and the surface-active peptide SapB are essential for development during growth in a medium with high osmolarity. To this end, both vegetative and aerial hyphae...
