Stahly, D. P. (University of Illinois, Urbana), V. R. Srinivasan, and H. Orin Halvorson. Effect of 8-azaguanine on the transition from vegetative growth to presporulation in Bacillus cereus. J. Bacteriol. 91:1875-1882. 1966.-The guanine analogue, 8-azaguanine (azaG), was found to inhibit sporulation of Bacillus cereus strain T when added to proliferating cells, but not to inhibit when added aft...

This work reports the characterization of the first known peptidoglycan hydrolase (Acp) produced mainly during vegetative growth of Clostridium perfringens. Acp has a modular structure with three domains: a signal peptide domain, an N-terminal domain with repeated sequences, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. The purified recombinant catalytic domain of Acp displayed lytic activity on the cell ...

Modifications of the fatty acid composition of plant vegetative tissues produce deficient plant growth. To determine the expression of the seed high-saturated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) mutant character during the vegetative cycle, five sunflower mutant lines (three high-stearic and two high-palmitic) have been studied during their germination and vegetative cycle. No significant variatio...

The rice blast fungus causes significant annual harvest losses. It also serves as a genetically-tractable model to study fungal ingress. Whilst pathogenicity determinants have been unmasked and changes in global gene expression described, we know little about Magnaporthe oryzae cell wall remodelling. Our interests, in wall remodelling genes expressed during infection, vegetative growth and unde...
