Iron added to a chemically defined liquid medium suppressed hydroxamic acid production at 37 degrees C by yeast cells of Histoplasma capsulatum. Four hydroxamic acids, HA-I, HA-II, HA-III, and HA-IV, present in the low-iron fluid after the culture of H. capsulatum were isolated by extraction and cation-exchange chromatography through cellulose phosphate (0.35% formic acid). Visible spectra of p...

Let G be an abelian group of order m, let S be a sequence of terms from G with k distinct terms, let m ∧ S denote the set of all elements that are a sum of some m-term subsequence of S, and let |S| be the length of S. We show that if |S| ≥ m + 1, and if the multiplicity of each term of S is at most m − k + 2, then either |m ∧ S| ≥ min{m, |S| − m + k − 1}, or there exists a proper, nontrivial su...
