HE development of a normal respiratory phenotype in yeast requires the Tpresence of an autoreproducing and presumably particulate cytoplasmic factor present in normal yeast and lost or functionally inactivated in the so-called respiration-deficient vegetative mutants (“vegetative petites”). This was inferred from the nontransmission of the respiratory deficiency to the sexual progeny in crosses...

OBJECTIVE The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is probably the most widely used depression scale. It has been suggested that it contains a two-factor structure measuring cognitive-affective (i.e. psychological) and somatic-vegetative depressive symptoms. In this study we aim to evaluate these factors by probing for their neural correlates. METHODS Neural responses evoked by emotional perceptio...

I t has been stated in the literature that the vegetative form of the dysentery ameba dies within a few hours outside of its host and forms no cyst. In a study made in 1917, the author has observed, however, that the large vegetative ameba of dysentery is transformed into a smaller vegetative form, and that occasionally it develops in vitro a tetranuclear cyst. Proliferation takes place in feca...
