13. Isolation of a Bacterial Culture That Degrades Methyl t-Butyl Ether
We have isolated a mixed bacterial culture (BC-1) which is capable of degrading the gasoline oxygenate methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE). BC-1 was developed from seed microorganisms present in a chemical plant biotreater sludge. This enrichment culture has been maintained in continuous culture treating high concentrations of MTBE (120 to 200 mg/liter) as the sole

14. Generation of leukotriene C4 from a subclass of mast cells differentiated in vitro from mouse bone marrow.
Bone marrow-derived mast cells, differentiated in vitro, demonstrate surface IgE, receptors and contain histamine in metachromatic granules, which are composed of chondroitin sulfate E proteoglycan rather than heparin proteoglycan. Activation of this subclass of mast cells with calcium ionophore A23187 resulted in generation of immunoreactive C-6-sulfidopept

15. Physiological and Morphological Changes Induced by Nutrient Limitation of Pseudomonas fluorescens 378 in Continuous Culture
Pseudomonas fluorescens 378 was studied in continuous culture at a dilution rate of 0.05 or 0.15 h−1 and under a limitation of carbon/energy, nitrogen, phosphorus, iron(III), or oxygen. Cultures were examined for nutritional consumption, production of biosurfactant AP-6 and lipase, and electron microscopy morphology. Morphological features were lysis and p

16. Retention of the Bub3 checkpoint protein on lagging chromosomes
Accurate chromosome segregation at mitosis is ensured both by the intrinsic fidelity of the mitotic machinery and by the operation of checkpoints that monitor chromosome-microtubule attachment. When unattached kinetochores are present, anaphase is delayed and the time available for chromosome-microtubule capture increases. Genes required for this delay first

17. Degradation of Quercetin and Luteolin by Eubacterium ramulus
The degradation of the flavonol quercetin and the flavone luteolin by Eubacterium ramulus, a strict anaerobe of the human intestinal tract, was studied. Resting cells converted these flavonoids to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, respectively. The conversion of quercetin was accompanied by the transient formation of t

18. Catabolic Fate of Streptomyces viridosporus T7A-Produced, Acid-Precipitable Polymeric Lignin upon Incubation with Ligninolytic Streptomyces Species and Phanerochaete chrysosporium†
Degradation of ground and hot-water-extracted corn stover (Zea mays) lignocellulose by Streptomyces viridosporus T7A generates a water-soluble lignin degradation intermediate termed acid-precipitable polymeric lignin (APPL). The further catabolism of T7A-APPL by S. viridosporus T7A, S. badius 252, and S. setonii 75Vi2 was followed for 3 weeks in aerated shak

19. Establishment of a Chemical Synthetic Lethality Screen in Cultured Human Cells
The synthetic lethality screen is a powerful genetic method for unraveling functional interactions between proteins in yeast. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of a chemical synthetic lethality screen in cultured human cells, based in part on the concept of the yeast method. The technology employs both an immortalized human cell line, deficient in a gene o

20. Testing Cyclin Specificity in the Exit from Mitosis
Cyclical inactivation of B-type cyclins has been proposed to be required for alternating DNA replication and mitosis. Destruction box-dependent Clb5p degradation is strongly increased in mitotic cells, and constitutive overexpression of Clb5p lacking the destruction box resulted in rapid accumulation of inviable cells, frequently multiply budded, with DNA co

21. An in Vitro System of Indole-3-Acetic Acid Formation from Tryptophan in Maize (Zea mays) Coleoptile Extracts.
The formation of a product from tryptophan that had the same retention time as that of authentic indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on high performance liquid chromatography was detected in crude extracts of maize (Zea mays) coleoptiles. The product was identified as IAA by mass spectrometry. The IAA-forming activity was co-purified with an indole-3-acetaldehyde (IA

22. Roles of glycerol and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD+) in acquired osmotolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In a cell culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exponentially growing in basal medium, only 0.02% of the cells were osmotolerant, i.e., survived transfer to medium containing 1.4 M NaCl. Short-time conditioning in 0.7 M NaCl medium transformed the whole population into an osmotolerance phenotype. During this conditioning, the rate of formation of glycerol, the

23. Calcitonin gene-related peptide and its binding sites in the human central nervous system and pituitary.
Binding sites for synthetic human 125I-labeled calcitonin gene-related peptide (125I-CGRP) have been demonstrated in membranes of the human nervous system. Binding was high in the cerebellar cortex (1.35 +/- 0.27 fmol/mg of tissue; mean +/- SEM), spinal cord (1.06 +/- 0.27 to 1.27 +/- 0.23 fmol/mg), and nucleus dentatus (1.02 +/- 0.15 fmol/mg), intermediate

24. Identification and Partial Characterization of the Pectin Methyltransferase “Homogalacturonan-Methyltransferase” from Membranes of Tobacco Cell Suspensions1
A membrane preparation from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cells contains at least one enzyme that is capable of transferring the methyl group from S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) to the C6 carboxyl of homogalacturonan present in the membranes. This enzyme is named homogalacturonan-methyltransferase (HGA-MT) to distinguish it from methyltransferases that c
