Previous studies with the wheat smut fungus, Tilletia caries, showed that this organism contains all the enzymes necessary for the operation of the pentose cycle and apparently of glycolvsis as well (Newburgh et al., 1955). Since the occurrence of a different pathway of carbohydrate catabolism or the predominance of a known pathway in the smut organism may be of importance for the control of sm...

The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is a versatile model for biomedical research and largely similar to mammals in terms of organ development, anatomy, physiology, hormonal signaling mechanisms. Steroid hormones control variety processes their levels are regulated by hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDs). subfamily 20β-HSD type 2 enzymes currently comprises eight members from teleost fish m...
