Eagon, R. G. (University of Georgia, Athens), and H. W. Cho. Major products of glucose dissimilation by Pseudomonas natriegens. J. Bacteriol. 89:1209-1211. 1965.-Pseudomonas natriegens aerobically catabolized glucose to yield predominantly acetic acid, pyruvic acid, and CO(2), whereas little or no lactic acid was formed. Under anaerobic conditions, glucose in an enriched medium was fermented to...

The Agreement-By-Correspondence framework (=‘ABC’) is a theory of agreement developed (by Walker 2000a,b, Hansson 2001, and especially Rose & Walker 2004) to explain long-distance consonant harmony: patterns where non-adjacent consonants agree with each other, but do not interact with the other material that intervenes between them. In ABC, the basis for this agreement is Surface Correspondence...

Soil fungi that attacked methionine required a utilizable source of energy such as glucose for growth. This is an example of co-dissimilation. Experiments with one of the fungi, representative of the group, are reported. In the absence of glucose, pregrown mycelium, even when depleted of energy reserves, oxidatively deaminated methionine with accumulation of alpha-keto-gamma-methyl mercapto but...

Glycerol has become an attractive carbon source in the biotechnology industry owing to its low price and reduced state. However, glycerol is rarely used as a carbon source in Saccharomyces cerevisiae because of its low utilization rate. In this study, we used glycerol as a main carbon source in S. cerevisiae to produce 1,2-propanediol. Metabolically engineered S. cerevisiae strains with overexp...

The relationship between constraints on surface forms and operations that alter representations is of central interest in phonological theory. This squib presents a case of diverse “repairs” in response to a marked structure—labial . . . labial sequences—created by um-infixation in stems beginning with (or, in some cases, merely containing) labial consonants in Austronesian languages. We review...
