Eukaryotic cell proliferation is controlled by specific growth factors and the availability of essential nutrients. If either of these signals is lacking, cells may enter into a specialized nondividing resting state, known as stationary phase or G(0). The entry into such resting states is typically accompanied by a dramatic decrease in the overall growth rate and an increased resistance to a va...

0. Introduction. In [6], G. Laumon defined a set of functors, called by him local Fourier transformations, which allow to analyze the local structure of the l-adic Fourier transform of a constructible l-adic sheaf G on the affine line in terms of the local behaviour of G at infinity and at the points where it is not lisse. These local Fourier transforms play a major rôle in his cohomological in...

We extend Igusa ́s stationary phase method to the case of oscillatory integrals depending on several parameters. As a particular case, we obtain estimations for the modulus of Gaussian exponential sums depending on several parameters.

dunaliella salina was isolated from maharlu salt lake in shiraz, iran, and was analyzed forthe effects of salinity stress on its growth, pigment content and ascorbate peroxidase activity. growth,expressed as number of cells ml-1, which was most rapid at 2 m nacl, was reduced at salinity extremes.during the exponential phase of growth, increasing salinity from 0.5 to 4 m nacl increased chl a fro...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can persist for many years within host lung tissue without causing clinical disease. Little is known about the state in which the bacilli survive, although it is frequently referred to as dormancy. Some evidence suggests that cells survive in nutrient-deprived stationary phase. Therefore, we are studying stationary-phase survival of Mycobacterium smegmatis as a model ...

Cells of the axenic strain of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum, AX-3, multiply in the liquid nutrient medium HL-5 with a doubling time of 12 h. When the cell concentration reaches approximately 1 X10(7) per ml the rate of cell multiplication begins decreasing and after 20-30 h reaches zero, at a stationary phase cell concentration of 2 to 2-5 X 10(7) cells per ml. The intercept...

In fermented products containing Bifidobacteria, factors such as organic acid concentration and b-galactosidase activity are important in the development of flavor and texture of final products. Both the process conditions and medium components have significant effects on fluctuation of such factors. The effects of whey permeate powder and yeast extract concentrations, as nitrogen sources was i...
