the values of fourteen carbohydrates assimilation patterns were investigated for typical and atypical strains of microsporum canis. thiry eight strains of typical and twenty two strains of atypical microsporum canis, microsporum canis ncpf 352 and one microsporum distortum were included in this study. statistical analysis of the results indicated that despite limited variations within the patte...

abstract an experiment was conducted to study growth analysis and evaluation of change in simple non- structural carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose and fructose) during bulb formation of ghermez azarshahr , zargan, safid naishaboor and safid qom cultivars in randomized complete block design containing three replications. seeds were sown in nursery in early february and seedlings were transplanted ...

This study was undertaken to determine the assimilation rate of goldfish, Carassius auratus, when given a diet of high carbohydrate, or high protein concentration since some foods are generally better assimilated than others. Two similar experiments were conducted over a period of two weeks. The assimilation rate for a high carbohydrate diet, combination diet of protein and carbohydrates, and h...

A modified auxanographic carbohydrate assimilation procedure for the identification of medically important yeasts is described. This method employs a heavy inoculum of unstarved yeasts, autoclaved yeast assimilation medium, pour plates of shallow depth, and commercially available carbohydrate-impregnated disks. The accuracy of this procedure was established in a comparison with the Wickerham br...

The mechanisms linking C/N balance to N uptake and assimilation are central to plant responses to changing soil nutrient levels. Defoliation and subsequent regrowth of grasses both impact C partitioning, thereby creating a significant point of interaction with soil N availability. Using defoliation as an experimental treatment, we investigated the dynamic relationships between plant carbohydrat...

The efficient aquisition of nutrients from leaves by insect herbivores increases their nutrient assimilation rates and overall fitness. Caterpillars of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) have high protein assimilation efficiencies (PAE) from the immature leaves of trees such as red oak (Quercus rubra) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum) (71–81%) but significantly lower PAE from their mature leav...

1. The effect of nitrate reduction and assimilation on the CO(2)/O(2) quotient of gas exchange has been used as an index of the relative rates of carbon and nitrogen assimilation in Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Changes in over-all metabolism induced by starvation, high light intensity, and nitrogen deficiency have been studied in comparison with the metabolism of cells growing at light-limiting inten...

ABSTRACT. Net photosynthesis, dark respiration, chlorophyll and carbohydrate content, and leaf and shoot growth in plants of evergreen olive (Olea europaea L.) grown under controlled conditions were measured to assess changes in carbon balance during leaf development of the 6th, 12th, and 16th node (from the base, first flush) through expansion to maturity. Shoot and leaves expanded in a sigmoi...

To evaluate the relevance of a simple carbon balance model (Seginer et al., 1994, Scientia Horticulturae 60: 55-80) in source-limiting conditions, the dynamics of growth, respiration and carbohydrate reserves of tomato plants were observed in prolonged darkness. Four days prior to the experiments, plants were exposed to high or low light levels and CO(2) concentrations. The concentration of car...
