IN this paper the purely descriptive account of the Golgi apparatus in various gland-cells, begun in the first two of these ' Studies ' (Bowen, 1926 a and b), will be concluded. A general discussion of the results will be deferred to a succeeding paper, in which I propose to consider the whole problem of the Golgi apparatus in its possible relations to secretion. The technical methods employed ...

Silicatein, an enzymatic biocatalyst from the marine sponge Tethya aurantia, is demonstrated to catalyze and template the hydrolysis/condensation of the molecular precursor BaTiF6 at low temperature to form nanocrystalline BaTiOF4, an orthorhombic oxofluorotitanate. The kinetics of hydrolysis and growth were studied in-situ via pH profiling and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) techniques. The ...

Sixteen species of the genus Stethantyx Townes having first and second sections of radius meeting at obtuse angle are recorded from Peru and Ecuador in Western Amazonia. Ten species, S. amazonica Khalaim & Sääksjärvi, sp. nov., S. aurantia Khalaim & Sääksjärvi, sp. nov., S. juninensis Khalaim & Bordera, sp. nov., S. loretosa Khalaim & Sääksjärvi, sp. nov., S. neopropodeator Khalaim & Sääksjärvi...

Many bacteria concentrate their chemoreceptors at the cell poles. Chemoreceptor location is important in Escherichia coli, since chemosensory responses are sensitive to receptor proximity. It is not known, however, whether chemotaxis in other bacteria is similarly regulated. To investigate the importance of receptor-receptor interactions in other bacterial species, we synthesized saccharide-bea...

Crossed affinoimmunoelectrophoresis using concanavalin A and Aleuria aurantia lectin as diantennary glycan- and fucose-specific affinocomponents, respectively, was applied to study changes in the concentration and glycosylation of the acute phase protein alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) in sera obtained from patients with hyperimmunoglobulinemia D and periodic fever syndrome. Increases in concen...

Introduction AGP (Alpha1-acid glycoprotein) is considered one of the major acute phase proteins in cats. In humans, AGP is a heavily glycosylated protein that undergoes several modifications of its glycan moiety during acute and chronic inflammatory pathologies. In this communication we present the feline AGP’s glycan moiety modifications in the course of two very frequent feline diseases, the ...

This research work explores the productive performance of local paddy landraces under different fertility levels as well role microbial inoculants in improving yields and reducing nutrient additions by increasing use efficiency changing climatic scenarios coastal areas. The landrace Padmarekha recorded taller plants, more tillers per hill, higher total dry matter accumulation other than grain s...

Genes encoding an aniline dioxygenase of Frateuria sp. ANA-18, which metabolizes aniline via the ortho-cleavage pathway of catechol, were cloned and named tdn genes. The tdn genes were located on the chromosomal DNA of this bacterium and weren't clustered with catechol-degrading gene clusters. These results show that the ANA-18 aniline-degrading gene cluster is constructionally different from P...
