Hedrick, L. R. (Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago), and C. J. Feren. Effect of cations upon hydrophobicity of yeasts grown in amino acid media. J. Bacteriol. 86:1288-1294. 1963.-Cells of four species of Hansenula, namely, H. holstii Y2154, H. subpelliculosa Y1683 and Y1542, and H. anomala Y365, were cultured for 3 days in a glucose-salts medium with one amino acid or (NH(4))(2)SO(4) as ...

Recent field studies carried out in lacustrine environments have suggested that fish schools may be assorted with respect to parasite infections, but the generality and strength of parasite-assortative schooling in fish is unclear. In this study, data are presented on the body size and externally visible macroparasite load of 366 individual three-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus L. (G...

High-throughput sequencing has been dramatically accelerating the discovery of microsatellite markers (also known as Simple Sequence Repeats). Both 454 and Illumina reads have been used directly in microsatellite discovery and primer design (the "Seq-to-SSR" approach). However, constraints of this approach include: 1) many microsatellite-containing reads do not have sufficient flanking sequence...

The recent elucidation of the enzyme systems involved in nitrate reduction in Neurospora crassa (Evans and Nason, 1952; Nason and Evans, 1953); Bacillus pumilis (Taniguchi et al., 1953); Escherichia coli (Taniguchi et al., 1956; Nicholas and Nason, 1955) and higher plants (Evans and Nason, 1953), has renewed interest in the general problem of nitrate reduction and nitrate assimilation in microo...

Shenius anomalus (Shen, 1935) has previously been assigned to the Macrophthalmidae Dana, 1851, and the Camptandriidae Stimpson, 1858. However, a close examination of adult and first stage zoeal morphology confirms some previous suggestions that S. anomalus is actually an anomalous member of the Dotillidae Stimpson, 1858. However, because a number of distinctive features distinguish it from Doti...
