25. Longitudinal decline in lung function in patients with occupational asthma due to western red cedar.
BACKGROUND: There are few reports about longitudinal changes in lung function in asthmatic patients. Patients with asthma had a greater loss of lung function than normal healthy adults. To date, there have been no studies about the longitudinal changes in lung function in patients with occupational asthma. METHODS: 280 male patients with red cedar asthma (RC

26. High-precision 40Ar/39Ar geochronology and the advent of North America’s Late Cretaceous terrestrial fauna
A densely sampled, diverse new fauna from the uppermost Cedar Mountain Formation, Utah, indicates that the basic pattern of faunal composition for the Late Cretaceous of North America was already established by the Albian-Cenomanian boundary. Multiple, concordant 40Ar/39Ar determinations from a volcanic ash associated with the fauna have an average age of 98

27. Sulfate Reduction in Peat from a New Jersey Pinelands Cedar Swamp †
Microbial sulfate reduction rates in acidic peat from a New Jersey Pine Barrens cedar swamp in 1986 were similar to sulfate reduction rates in freshwater lake sediments. The rates ranged from a low of 1.0 nmol cm−3 day−1 in February at 7.5- to 10.0-cm depth to 173.4 nmol cm−3 day−1 in July at 5.0- to 7.5-cm depth. The presence of living Sphagnum moss

28. Chaperone Coexpression Plasmids: Differential and Synergistic Roles of DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE and GroEL-GroES in Assisting Folding of an Allergen of Japanese Cedar Pollen, Cryj2, in Escherichia coli
Plasmids that can be used for controlled expression of the DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE and/or GroEL-GroES chaperone team were constructed in order to facilitate assessment of the effects of these chaperone teams on folding or assembly of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. A typical pACYC184-based plasmid which was obtained could express the major DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE an

29. Thujaplicins from Thuja plicata as iron transport agents for Salmonella typhimurium.
Strains of Salmonella typhimurium which are unable to synthesize their normal iron transport agent, enterobactin, and which must be supported with an exogenous chelator (siderophore) on certain media, were used to examine various types of wood for the presence of chelators. Western red cedar wood, Thuja plicata, was observed to contain large amounts of three

30. Production of l-Asparaginase II by Escherichia coli
l-Asparaginase II was synthesized at constant rates by Escherichia coli under anaerobic conditions. The enzyme was produced optimally by bacteria grown between pH 7 and 8 at 37 C. Although some enzyme was formed aerobically, between 100 and 1,000 times more asparaginase II was produced during anaerobic growth in media enriched with high concentrations of a v

31. Control of RNA synthesis by chromatin proteins.
The effect of chromatin proteins on template activity has been studied. Using both E. coli RNA polymerase and calf thymmus polymerase B we have measured the number of initiation sites on chromatin and various histone-DNA complexes. Chromatin can be reconstituted with histone proteins alone and this complex is still a restricted template for RNA synthesis. Th

32. A metric map of humans: 23,500 loci in 850 bands
High-resolution maps integrated with the enhanced location data base software (ldb+) give improved estimates of genetic parameters and reveal characteristics of cytogenetic bands. Chiasma interference is intermediate between Kosambi and Carter–Falconer levels, as in Drosophila and the mouse. The autosomal genetic map is 2832 and 4348 centimorgans in m

33. Direct detection of methylated cytosine in DNA by use of the restriction enzyme MspI.
The extent of methylation of the internal C in the sequence CCGG in DNA from various eukaryotic sources has been determined using the restriction enzyme MspI known to be specific for this sequence. The methylation of the CCGG sequence is reflected in the restriction pattern obtained by DNA treated with MspI and its isoschizomer HpaII and analyzed by gel elec

34. Genetic and biomedical studies demonstrating a second gene coding for asparagine synthetase in Escherichia coli.
Genetic experiments have indicated that asparagine auxotrophs of Escherichias coli K-12 can be made asparagine prototrophs at either of two sites on the chromosome and that wild-type strains require both sites to be mutated to produce asparagine auxotrophy. The former asn locus is now called asnA, and the new gene is designated asnB. The asnB gene is located

35. A Sequence-Based Integrated Map of Chromosome 22
The near-completion of the sequence for chromosome 22q revolutionizes map integration. We describe a sequence-based integrated map containing 968 loci including 516 known or predicted gene sequences, 317 STSs not included in these sequences, and 135 nonexpressed multinucleotide polymorphisms. The published sequence spans 34.6 Mb, inclusive of gaps estimated

36. Characterization of the sediment bacterial community in groundwater discharge zones of an alkaline fen: a seasonal study.
The cell density, activity, and community structure of the bacterial community in wetland sediments were monitored over a 13-month period. The study was performed at Cedar Bog, an alkaline fen. The objective was to characterize the relationship between the sediment bacterial community in groundwater upwelling zones and the physical and chemical factors which
