Two forms of Ox-L-fucosidase, deglycosylated and glycosylated, were found in the fucose-inducing culture broth of Fusarium oxysporum. Endo-p-N-acetylglucosaminidase was also found in the same culture broth. The deglycosylated a-L-fucosidase was purified from the culture broth to homogeneity on polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis and analytical ultracentrifugation. Purified deglycosylated a-...

Reversion of L forms to the normal bacterial state has been described in general terms in a variety of bacterial cell-L-form systems (Dienes and Weinberger, 1951). The relatively large 3B type L colony formed on penicillin-containing medium is composed entirely of spherical bodies of varying sizes (2 to 10 ,u in diameter) that appear to propagate by a budding process. In contrast, 3A type L for...

cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of the most important parasitic diseases, which are endemic in different parts of iran.   leishmania major and l. tropica are the primary causative agents of this disease. the aim of the present study was to detect the multiple forms of l. major in lung. ppromastigotes of l. major at stationary phase were injected to balb/c mice. after 60 days, the different forms...

OBJECTIVE The authors measured cardiac index in unstable patients after cardiac surgery with the Pressure Recording Analytic Method (PRAM) and compared it with the reference method of thermodilution (ThD) with the pulmonary artery catheter; using the hypothesis that there were no significant differences between the 2 methods. DESIGN A prospective study. SETTING Cardiac surgery intensive car...

We investigate the stability of growing vesicles using the formalism of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The vesicles are growing due to the accretion of lipids to the bilayer which forms the vesicle membrane. The thermodynamic description is based on the hydrodynamics of a water and lipid mixture together with a model of the vesicle as a discontinuous system in the sense of linear nonequilibrium...

Numerical investigations of a warm-fluid model with an isothermal equation of state for the perpendicular dynamics of an axisymmetric, magnetically confined pure electron plasma predict an exponentially unstable, I= 1, diocotron mode for hollow density profiles. , The unstable mode can be identified with a stable, nonsmooth mode that exists in cold drift models but which is destabilized-by fini...
