UTANTS of Neurospora crassa have been described in which rhythms OCcur; these include patch (BRANDT 1953; PITTENDRIGH, BRUCE, ROSENSWEIG and RUBIN 1959; STADLER 1959) and timex (SARGENT 1965), in which conidia are formed with a period of about one day. Also, a growth rhythm has been described in clock (SUSSMAN, LOWRY and DURKEE 1964), in which the surface mycelium becomes increasingly dense unt...

To assess whether the Lowry-tetramethylurea method for measuring apolipoprotein B-100 (apo-B) in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) could be replaced by direct assay of VLDL apo-B using a highly practicable immunological method. Seventy five fasting blood samples were collected from patients attending the lipid clinic at this hospital. Plasma was separated immediately and VLDL isolated by prep...

As part of a continuing study of the quantitative distribution of biochemically significant substances and activities in the separate zones of the adrenal gland in various functional states, the present report deals with pyridine nucleotidrs. In addition to other coenzyme functions, the pyridine nucleotides are involved in the hydroxylation of steroids in the adrenal (1, 2). Total osidized and ...

One of the most sensitive and specific methods for quantitative estimation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the microbiological one developed by Hoff-J0rgensen (1951, 1954). This method is l)ased on the fact that Thermobacterium acidophilum (Lactobacillus acidophilus) strain R 26 Orla Jensen is unable to grow in the absence of deoxyribosides. The DNA containing sample is digested with deoxyrib...

Krapp-Schickel & Müller (2011) published one new genus Kairos and two new species, Kairos segregans and Elasmopus polynesus in Marine Biodiversity Records. Because Marine Biodiversity Records is an entirely electronic journal which does not produce hard copies, it is not eligible to publish new taxonomic names unless the names are registered in Zoobank and cited in the paper at the time of publ...

This Special Volume of Zootaxa has had a long gestation! Way back in 2011, Pat Hutchings was approached by Anne Hoggett, one of the Co-Directors of Lizard Island Research Station which is a facility of the Australian Museum, with the concept of running a polychaete workshop at Lizard Island. Back in 2005, the first Lizard Island taxonomic workshop investigating biodiversity of amphipod crustace...
