To date, the life stages of pelagophytes have been poorly described. This study describes the ability of Aureoumbra lagunensis to enter a resting stage in response to environmental stressors including high temperature, nutrient depletion, and darkness as well as their ability to revert from resting cells back to vegetative cells after exposure to optimal light, temperature, and nutrient conditi...

The persistent vegetative state (PVS) is one of the most iconic and misunderstood phrases in clinical neuroscience. Coined as a diagnostic category by Scottish neurosurgeon Bryan Jennett and American neurologist Fred Plum in 1972, the phrase "vegetative" first appeared in Aristotle's treatise On the Soul (circa mid-fourth century BCE). Aristotle influenced neuroscientists of the nineteenth and ...

Effect of several irrigation of sugar industry effluent was studied on vegetative and yield characteristics of L. var. Varuna type 59. Crop showed vigrous enhancement in almost all the vegetative and yield characteristics studied and generally it was seen that the enhancement in vegetative and yield characteristics are directly related to the number of irrigation with sugar industry effluents. ...

The vegetative cells and spores of four strains of Clostridium perfringens were examined to determine the effect of lowered and elevated temperatures. Spores were produced by following the method of Ellner, and vegetative cells were obtained from thioglycolate cultures. After exposure to freezing or refrigeration temperatures (-17.7 and 7.1 C, respectively), only small numbers of the vegetative...

Awake but not aware: This puzzling dissociation of the two central elements of consciousness defines the vegetative state. Traditionally, this condition has been believed to imply a brain with preserved hypothalamic and brainstem autonomic functions but with no capacity for cortical cognitive processes. As is discussed in this review, over a 20-year span neuroimaging techniques have clearly dem...

1. Urine nucleoside phosphorylase was purified from the vegetative cells and spores of Bacillus cereus var. terminalis. The enzymes from the vegetative cell and the spore were found to have similar physical and catalytic properties. A mutant (strain 29) with only 2% of the level of enzyme activity in the vegetative cell also had a comparably low level in the spore. 2. The vegetative cell enzyme...

Moberly, Betty J. (The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor), F. Shafa, and Philipp Gerhardt. Structural details of anthrax spores during stages of transformation into vegetative cells. J. Bacteriol. 92:220-228. 1966.-Anthrax spores in stages of dormancy, activation, germination, and outgrowth into vegetative cells were examined in an electron microscope. The fine structure proved to be much like ...

A temporary vegetative storage protein, composed of similar 25 kilodalton and 27 kilodalton subunits, was found to be abundant in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Herr. var Hobbit) leaves, stems, pods, flower petals, germinated cotyledons, and less abundant in roots, nodules and seeds. Total pod protein was highest at 3 weeks after flowering and declined by 37% within 3 weeks during seed development. ...
