13. Transient fluorescence in synchronously dividing Escherichia coli.
Using a spectrometer equipped with an optical multichannel analyzer as the detector, we observed the Stokes laser-Raman spectra of metabolically synchronous Escherichia coli from 100 to 2100 cm-1. After more than 400 separate recordings, at cell concentrations of 10(7)-10(8) per ml, no Raman lines attributable to the metabolic process nor to the cells themse

14. Detection of benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide-DNA adducts in human placenta.
Human placenta is a readily available organ that responds to maternal environmental insult and has been previously used to investigate metabolism and bioactivation of procarcinogens, for example, benzo[a]pyrene. HPLC in combination with synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy was used to examine 28 placentas for the presence of benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide-DNA

15. Synchronous germination and outgrowth of fractionated Bacillus subtilis spores: tool for the analysis of differentiation and division of bacterial cells.
A fraction of Bacillus subtilis 168 spores, purified by Urografin isopycnic density centrifugation, heat activated, and inoculated in nutrient broth plus glucose, germinated and outgrew very synchronously. Synchrony was documented by nuclear staining and fluorescence microscopy, and by determining the variation of the buoyant density of the cells during outg

16. Bald mutants of Streptomyces griseus that prematurely undergo key events of sporulation.
To identify the structural defects of nonsporulating mutants of Streptomyces griseus, the wild-type strain and class III bald mutants were examined by using transmission electron microscopy, ultrasonic treatment, and fluorescence microscopy after the induction of submerged sporulation by phosphate starvation. In the wild-type strain, submerged sporulation wa

17. Photosynthetic Apparatus Formation during the Cell Cycle of Chlorella
Synchronous cell division in cultures of Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck was induced by intermittent illumination: 9 hours light, 6 hours darkness. The rate of photosynthetic O2 evolution per cell increases 4-fold in a one-step manner at the beginning of the light period, to the same extent as the increase in cell number. Over the division cycle, the following

18. The initiation cascade for chromosome replication in wild-type and Dam methyltransferase deficient Escherichia coli cells.
'Newborn' Escherichia coli B/r cells, obtained by membrane elution, were used to study the cell cycles of wild-type and Dam methyltransferase mutants. In wild-type cells, initiation of chromosome replication was synchronous and tightly controlled. In dam mutants, initiation was altered, but not random. We propose that this is due to the absence of an initiat

19. Rapid and Irreversible CD4+ T-Cell Depletion Induced by the Highly Pathogenic Simian/Human Immunodeficiency Virus SHIVDH12R Is Systemic and Synchronous
Highly pathogenic simian/human immunodeficiency virus chimeric viruses are known to induce a rapid, irreversible depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of acutely infected macaque monkeys. To more fully assess the systemic effects of this primary virus infection, specimens were collected serially between days 3 and 21 postinfection from vari

20. Requirement for ESP1 in the nuclear division of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Mutations in the ESP1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae disrupt normal cell-cycle control and cause many cells in a mutant population to accumulate extra spindle pole bodies. To determine the stage at which the esp1 gene product becomes essential for normal cell-cycle progression, synchronous cultures of ESP1 mutant cells were exposed to the nonpermissive tem

21. Detection of benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide-DNA adducts in peripheral blood lymphocytes and antibodies to the adducts in serum from coke oven workers.
Coke oven workers are exposed to high levels of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), and are at increased risk of lung cancer. Since B[a]P is enzymatically activated to 7 beta,8 alpha-dihydroxy(9 alpha, 10 alpha)epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (B[a]PDE) that forms adducts with DNA, the presence of these add

22. Cell cycle-specific action of nerve growth factor in PC12 cells: differentiation without proliferation.
PC12 cells were manipulated in such a way as to permit the study of differentiation-specific responses independently from proliferative responses. Cells were starved for serum then exposed to nerve growth factor (NGF) or serum. Following addition of serum, cells incorporated thymidine in a synchronous manner. Subsequent to the wave of DNA synthesis, the cell

23. Ca2+ influx modulation of temporal and spatial patterns of inositol trisphosphate-mediated Ca2+ liberation in Xenopus oocytes.
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) functions as a second messenger by liberating intracellular Ca2+ and by promoting influx of extracellular Ca2+. We examined the effects of Ca2+ influx on the temporal and spatial patterns of intracellular Ca2+ liberation in Xenopus oocytes by fluorescence imaging of cytosolic free Ca2+ together with voltage clamp recordin

24. Repression of the A8L Gene, Encoding the Early Transcription Factor 82-Kilodalton Subunit, Inhibits Morphogenesis of Vaccinia Virions
The vaccinia virus early transcription factor (VETF) is a DNA binding protein comprised of 70- and 82-kDa subunits encoded by the D6R and A8L genes, respectively. A previous investigation suggested a novel role for the 70-kDa subunit in the morphogenesis of vaccinia virus particles. The principal objectives of the present study were to determine if the 82-kD
