A wide range of soil microorganisms produce allelopathic and antimicrobial metabolites1). We isolated from the rhizosphere of grasses a phosphate-solubilizing bacterium Enterobacter intermedium 60-2G that possesses several biological functions with potential uses in agriculture5). In this paper, we identify an antimicrobial substance from this bacterium and characterize its inhibitory effects o...

Treatment of mice with guanethidine sulphate every 48 h from birth until 14 days produced a 64.2 and 68.0 per cent reduction in perikarya of the superior cervical and coeliac ganglia, respectively, at 15 days after birth and 78.9 and 81.3 per cent at 30 days. The growth rate of mice between 21 and 30 days after birth was significantly reduced. At 15 and 30 days after birth, C3H]-thymidine was i...

The effects of water stress on leaf water relations and growth are reported for three perennial tussock grass genotypes under glasshouse conditions. Studies were performed in genotypes El Palmar INTA and Selección Anguil of Agropyron scabrifolium (Döell) Parodi, and El Vizcachero of A. elongatum (Host) Beauv. Agropyron scabrifolium El Palmar INTA is native to a region with warm-temperate and hu...
