Stimulation of induction of glucose dehydrogenase by homologous series of aliphatic alcohols in dormant spores ofAspergillus oryzae

Résumé La mise en action de la glucose déshydrogénase dans la spore dormante d'Aspergillus oryzae est stimulée par l'addition de séries homologues des alcools aliphatiques. La concentration de l'alcool nécessaire à cet effet diminue avec l'accroissement de longeur de la chaîne hydrocarbonée, mais augmente avec la ramification de la chaîne.     

Inhibition of nuclear and mitochondrial respiration by arsenite

Résumé La respiration des noyaux isolés du thymus de rat est inhibée par l'arsénite à une concentration 10 fois supérieure à celle qui inhibe la respiration mitochondriale. Ce fait suggère, une difficulté de pénétration à travers la membrane nucleaire et ne rend pas compte de la différence entre le méchanisme de la phosphorylation oxydative des noyaux et celle des mitochondria.     

Effect of ammonium ions on the growth ofAspergillus nidulans

Zusammenfassung In einer Biotin-Mangelmutante vonAspergillus nidulans wurde, verglichen mit dem der Normalkultur, ein grösserer Ammonium-Verbrauch gefunden. Dies scheint seine Ursache in der Veränderung der Permeabilität der Zellwand zu haben, deren Lipoidgehalt um 40% niedriger ist. Eine Zunahme der Transaminasen (GOT, GPT) und Glutamindehydrogenase könnte für eine höhere Proteinsynthese in Mangelstamm verantwortlich sein.

A rapid micro radial electrophoretic method of protein separation on cellulose acetate membranes

Summary A new rapid micromethod for protein separation under a radial electric field is described. As many as 12 rabbit serum samples could be separated in 4–6 min.The authors are thankful to Dr P.K. Ramachandran, Defence Research and Development Establishment, Gwalior, for the sustained interest and helpful suggestions.

Effects of light,temperature and nutrients on the production of conidia and sclerotia by forms ofAspergillus japonicus

Zusammenfassung Aspergillus japonicus bildet je nach den Belichtungs-, Temperatur- und Ernährungsbedingungen, unter denen er wächst, entweder nur Konidien oder nur Sklerotien oder beide zusammen.     

Two-dimensional electrophoresis of rat serum esterases in cellulose acetate and acrylamide gradient gel

Zusammenfassung Isoenzyme von Serumesterasen wurden zuerst mit Zelluloseazetat und dann mit einem Gradientgel von Polyakrylamid mit zweidimensionaler Elektrophorese bei der Ratte untersucht. Ein neues Band, das eine starke Albuminesteraseaktivität aufweist und unempfindlich gegen 10^–3 M Physostigmin ist, wurde somit gefunden. Von 17 Esterasebändern waren 7 empfindlich auf Physostigmin, und 3 wurden auch durch Iso-OMPA gehemmt, während 284-C-51 gar keinen Effekt zeigte.

Inhibition of phorbol myristate acetate and phytohemagglutinin stimulation of human lymphocytes by 13-cis-retinoic acid and ethyl etrinoate

Summary The retinol analogues 13-cis-retinoic acid and ethyl etrinoate inhibit the mitogenic activity of phorbol myristate acetate and phytohemagglutinin on human lymphocytes. This inhibitory effect is greater against the stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate than with phytohemagglutinin.This work was supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute of Canada. We would like to thank Hoffmann-La Roche, Canada, for providing the 13-cis-retinoic acid and the ethyl etrinoate.     

Stimulation by D-glucose of mitochondrial respiration

Summary D-glucose increases O₂ uptake by cerebellum mitochondria. This effect is abolished by D-glucose-6-phosphate and D-mannoheptulose. It is proposed that the phosphorylation of D-glucose as catalyzed by bound hexokinase directly affects mitochondrial respiration.
