COPPER ENZYMES IN ISOLATED CHLOROPLASTS. POLYPHENOLOXIDASE IN BETA VULGARIS

Copper Enzymes in Isolated Chloroplasts. Polyphenoloxidase in Beta Vulgaris.

DNA Content of Beta vulgaris Chloroplasts during Leaf Cell Expansion.

During the growth of beet leaves from 2 to 3 to 25 to 30 centimeters, the leaf cells increase in size, the average number of chloroplasts per cell increases from 11 to 65 and the amount of chloroplast DNA per cell increases from 1100 to 1900 plastome copies. The average number of copies of the plastome per chloroplast decreases from 104 in 2 to 3-centimeter leaves to 29 in 25 to 30-centimeter l...

Prevalence of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases Enzymes in Enterobacter Aerogenes Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in Shahrekord City

Introduction: Enterobacteriaceae produce the Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases which is considered as an important resistant mechanism of beta-lactam antibiotics. The resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is the main problem in the bacterial infections therapy. The prevalence of these enzymes changes in different geographical areas and with time. The present study aims to explore the frequency ...

Isolated Chloroplasts

1. Chloroplasts prepared by the non-aqueous technique will, after fragmentation by ultrasonic treatment, incorporate [2-14C]mevalonic acid into phytoene, the first C40 compound formed in the biosynthetic sequence to coloured carotenoids. 2. With suspensions containing 3*5mg. of chlorophyll, the optimum amounts of cofactor required were ATP (10,umoles), magnesium chloride (20,umoles) and glutath...

Biosynthesis in Isolated Acetabularia Chloroplasts

The ability of chloroplasts isolated from Acetabulana mediterranea to synthesize the protein amino acids has been investigated. When this chloroplast isolate was presented with (14)CO(2) for periods of 6-8 hr, tracer was found in essentially all amino acid species of their hydrolyzed protein Phenylalanine labeling was not detected, probably due to technical problems, and hydroxyproline labeling...
