Regulation of lipid accumulation in oleaginous micro-organisms.
A small number of eukaryotic micro-organisms, the oleaginous species, can accumulate triacylglycerols as cellular storage lipids, sometimes up to 70% of the biomass. Some of these lipids, particularly those containing high proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids of nutritional and dietary importance, are now in commercial production; these are known as single-cell oils. The biochemistry of l...
متن کاملTurbulence drives microscale patches of motile phytoplankton.
Patchiness plays a fundamental role in phytoplankton ecology by dictating the rate at which individual cells encounter each other and their predators. The distribution of motile phytoplankton species is often considerably more patchy than that of non-motile species at submetre length scales, yet the mechanism generating this patchiness has remained unknown. Here we show that strong patchiness a...
متن کاملAdaptation in Micro-Organisms
all the humdrum of mental undressing, dressing, shaving, etc., there is the chance reward of being confidential ear to what may never be so well expressed or thought of again. The contributors of the "relatively brief" presentations are six in number. Alex Bavelas talks on "Communication patterns in problem-solving groups"; Ivor A. Richards, on "Communication between men: Meaning and language";...
متن کاملMicro-organisms in gastroenteritis.
We present bacteriological and virological findings together with salient clinical features from a prospective study of 447 children aged under 2 years admitted to hospital with infectious gastroenteritis. Putative pathogenic micro-organisms were identified in the stools of 75% of these children. Eight identifiably distinct groups of viruses, found on electron microscopy and tissue culture were...
متن کاملThe Effect of Micro Turbulence on Quartz Flotation Rate
In this research, the effect of micro turbulence on the flotation rate of quartz particles was investigated. The maximum particle Reynolds number (Rep) was obtained at 60.25 with a particle size of -500+420 µm, impeller speed of 900 rpm, bubble surface area flux of 10.21 1/s and micro scale turbulence size of 162 µm. When the micro turbulence size was equal to the particle size, ...
