1. Intracellular turnover of protein was measured in wild-type Bacillus 8ubtilis, which produces exoprotease at stage I in the sporulation process. Protein is degraded at a rate of 8-10%/hr. 2. As a result of this turnover, the proteins of the mother cell are extensively degraded and resynthesized by about 6hr., so that the later stages of spore formation occur in a cytoplasm containing mainly ...

In sera from 4 of 25,000 individuals tested for antibodies against streptococci, extremely high antideoxyribonuclease B titers ( > 10(6) U/ml) were found. Two of the cases were diagnosed as monoclonal gammopathies. The M-components were shown to possess the anti-deoxyribonuclease B activity. The other two cases were diagnosed as relapsing erysipelas. The high serum titers of deoxyribonuclease B...

The comparative in vitro activities of two new oxazolidinone antimicrobial agents, U-100592 and U-100766, against 180 isolates of enterococci representing several resistance profiles were examined by using an agar dilution technique. The two oxazolidinones inhibited all isolates, including strains resistant to vancomycin, ampicillin, and minocycline, at concentrations between 1 and 4 micrograms...

Modern vehicles can be thought of as complex distributed embedded systems that run a variety automotive applications with real-time constraints. Recent advances in the industry towards greater autonomy are driving to increasingly connected various external (e.g., roadside beacons, other vehicles), which makes emerging highly vulnerable cyber-attacks. Additionally, increased complexity and in-ve...
