Influence of isoleucine upon quinomycin biosynthesis by Streptomyces sp. 732.
When dl-isoleucine was added to an ammonium nitrate-maltose medium during cultivation of Streptomyces sp. 732, quinomycin B formation was selectively enhanced (from 3 to 70% of the quinomycin mixture) and quinomycin C synthesis was inhibited completely. In addition, two new quinomycins, designated quinomycins D and E, were produced in the presence of isoleucine. These compounds were found to co...
متن کاملEvidence of Predation by Kiore upon Lizards from the Mokohinau Islands
The kiore or Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans) has been suggested as the probable cause for reduced reptile, seabird and invertebrate faunas on many of the northern offshore islands of New Zealand, but the evidence is largely circumstantial and it is based on comparisons between islands with and without kiore. In 1977, kiore colonised a small island in the Mokohinau Group (Hauraki Gulf), where th...
متن کاملBRIEF REPORT Effect of Food Deprivation upon Electrically Elicited Predation in file Cat1
The present experiment examined the effects of food deprivation upon predatory attack elicited by electrical stimulation of lateral hypothalamic sites in the cat. Latencies for attack initiation and for object contact were assessed under ad libitum feeding conditions and compared, in a within-subjects design, to attack latendes following 72 hr of food deprivation. Both initiation and object con...
متن کاملAvian predation upon lizards and frogs in a neotropical forest understorey
Although tropical forest birds are known to prey upon small lizards and frogs, no study has documented the attributes of vertebrate-eating birds or whether birds prey opportunistically on the different elements of the herpetofauna within tropical communities. This study is based on a 14-mo investigation on avian diet, supplemented with a 3-y census of frogs and a 1-y census of lizards in a humi...
متن کاملPredation upon Hatchling Dinosaurs by a New Snake from the Late Cretaceous of India
Derived large-mouthed snakes (macrostomatans) possess numerous specializations in their skull and lower jaws that allow them to consume large vertebrate prey. In contrast, basal snakes lack these adaptations and feed primarily on small prey items. The sequence of osteological and behavioral modifications involved in the evolution of the macrostomatan condition has remained an open question beca...
