BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF SALMONIDAE. I

Hemoglobin Yakina. I. Clinical and biochemical studies.

Three members of a family who have erythrocytosis and a new hemoglobin, designated hemoglobin Yakima, are described. The abnormal hemoglobin is characterized by the substitution of histidine for aspartic acid at residue 99 in the beta-chain. Of three possible structure-function relations which would account for the increased oxygen affinity of hemoglobin Yakima, only two seem likely. These are:...

Biochemical Studies of the Site-Specific I-Ppol Endonuclease

Studies on the Listerella Group: I. Biochemical and Hemolytic Reactions.

Although the organisms now known as Listerella were first reported as a new species by Murray, Webb and Schwann (1926), and were given the genus name by Pirie (1927), earlier reports contain descriptions which indicate that the organisms were seen prior to 1926. Atkinson (1917) noted a gram-positive diphtheroid organism in five human cases of what was thought to be epidemic cerebrospinal mening...

Joint Segregation of Biochemical Loci in Salmonidae. 11. Linkage Associations from a Hybridized Salvelinus Genome

The results of more than 300 painvise examinations of biochemical loci for joint segregation in brook trout (Salvelinus fontimlis) and in the hybridized genome of lake trout (S. namaycush) x brook trout are summarized. Nineteen loci have been assigned to the following eight linkage groupings on the basis of nonrandom assortment, including cases of both classical linkage and pseudolinkage: ODH w...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
