We present the results of an integrated geomorphological and seismo-stratigraphic study based on high resolution marine data acquired in north-western Sicilian continental margin. document for first time five contourite drifts (marked as EM1a, EM2b, EM2, EM3a, EM3b), located slope at depths between ca. 400 1500 m. EM1a,b have been interpreted elongated mounded drifts. are 3 km long, 1.3 wide, a...

A procedure for the purification of threonine deaminase from Rhodospirillum rubrum is described. The 2200-fold purified enzyme was judged to be pure by disc-gel electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation. Sedimentation velocity centrifugation yielded an s : , , ~ value of 8.1 S and a D ~ O , ~ of 4.65 x 10-7 em2 x see-l. Assuming a partial specific volume of 0.74 g/ml the molecular weight of 16400...

A novel species-specific anti-beaver-IgG-alkaline-phosphatase conjugate was synthesized for the development of a new serological test for echinococcosis in beavers. Two different ELISAs conventionally used for human Echinococcus multilocularis serology (Em18-ELISA and Em2-ELISA) yielded diagnostic sensitivities of 0% and 46%, respectively. In contrast, the subsequently developed immunoblotting ...

Ion implantation, a new biophysically mutagenic technique, has shown great potential for crop breeding. To reveal the mutation effect of low-energy ion implantation on Baiyangdian red lotus, sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers were used to amplify and detect the DNA sequence differences in mutants induced by Fe(+) ion implantation. A total of 121 primer combinations were teste...
