The preformed messenger ribonucleic acid in Botryodiplodia theobromae spores directs the synthesis of several relatively stable polypeptides

The rate of synthesis of polyadenylate-containing ribonucleic acid is constant throughout the cell cycle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The methods used at present for the determination of the higher nucleic acids in organs are based on certain color reactions of their carbohydrate components. The quantitative evaluation of these color tests gives satisfactory results with the free carbohydrates and with the purine nucleosides and nucleotides. The application of the color tests to the higher nucleic acids, however, encounters s...

INTRODUCTION Genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted diseases in industrial countries, particularly among young people. The consequences of chlamydial infections may involve pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy and tubal factor infertility.
