Biological Studies on Capsulated Yeasts

Biological Studies on Capsulated Yeasts.

The taxonomic nomenclature of Stelling-Dekker (1931) and Lodder (1934) is used throughout the paper. The yeast strains were derived partly from the stock of the Department of Bacteriology and Hygiene of the Hebrew University and partly from the following type culture collections: National Type Culture Collection, London; American Type Culture Collection, Washington; and the Centraalbureau voor ...

Studies on Biological Oxidations

Pyruvic acid is one of the most reactive substances among those of importance in cellular metabolism. When carbohydrate is split during fermentation, pyruvic acid is the main end-product of the resulting series of phosphorylated oxidation-reductions. It thus becomes the immediate source for the formation of both lactic acid and alcohol. Pyruvic acid is decarboxylated by yeast; it may react with...

Phytochemical and biological studies on goniothalamus spp. in Borneo

Goniothalamus spp. are widely distributed is the island of Borneo. About 40 species of Goniothalamus have been recorded in Borneo. Goniothalamus spp. are widely used in traditional medicinal practices in Borneo especially in treating diarrhea, fever, skin diseases, antidotes and most commonly used as postparturation aids and as abortifacient. Some of the species are also being used as natural i...
