The production of the group of peptide antibiotics called No. 1907 by Paecilomyces lilacinus was stabilized and enhanced by mono-spore isolation followed by strain improvement, and the production seemed to be related to a morphological change of the strain. Unstable and a low productivity (below 10 micrograms/ml) of the antibiotics No. 1907 by P. lilacinus was greatly improved up to 140 microgr...

Approximately a third of the total body sodium content of man, dogs, and rats is present in the inorganic portion of the skeleton (l-3). Although the magnitude of this fraction and its variability in acidosis and sodium depletion have been defined by direct analysis and by the use of isotopes, the precise position which sodium occupies in bone salt remains obscure. Harrison (4), pointing out th...
