Hodson, Phillip H. (University of Texas, Austin), and J. W. Foster. Dipicolinic acid synthesis in Penicillium citreo-viride. J. Bacteriol. 91:562-569. 1966.-Dipicolinic acid (DPA) accumulation in culture filtrates of the mold Penicillium citreo-viride was studied in surface and submerged cultures. Good DPA yields were obtained in suspensions of washed, submerged mycelium in the presence of a ca...

Aleurone layers of Hordeum vulgare, cv. ;Himalaya' took up [(14)C]-abscisic acid (ABA) when incubated for various times. Radioactivity accumulated with time in a low speed, DNA-containing pellet accounting for 1.6 to 2.3% of the radioactivity recovered in subcellular fractions at 18 hours. Thin layer chromatography of ethanolic or methanolic extracts of the cytosol, which contained greater than...

transmitting the packets through a laser, optical fibre, photodetector and demodulator. The BER of the DPA-recovered channel is shown in Fig. 3 . The ideal curve has been measured by connecting the clock directly from the transmitter to the receiver, while the DPA BER has been measured with I , 2 and 4bit preamble lengths. Longer preambles have not been considered because of the increased compl...

Ligon lintless mutant (li1li1) with super-short fibers (5-8 mm in length) and its wild type (Li1Li1) with normal fibers (30 mm in length) were used to study the function of xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) genes during fiber elongation in cotton. Wild-type cotton attained the fiber elongation stage earlier (5 days post-anthesis, DPA), than the Ligon lintless mutant (12 DPA)...

Endopores (or spores), which are produced by certain bacteria, are capable of surviving food processing and causing food spoilage and foodborne illness. Dipicolinic acid (DPA), which constitutes about 10% of the spores’ dry weight, plays a major role on wet heat resistance of spores. Current methods like chromatography and fluorometry that are used to quantify DPA are time-consuming, expensive ...

If robust spectroscopic techniques are to be developed for the detection and identification of pathogens, one must understand the relevant spectroscopic properties of the target molecules. In this paper, we employ density functional theory (DFT) to study the structural, electronic, vibrational, optical, and magnetic properties of dipicolinic acid (DPA) and its dianion DPA . Our full geometrical...

Di erential Power Analysis (DPA) on smart-cards was introduced by Paul Kocher [11] in 1998. Since, many countermeasures have been introduced to protect cryptographic algorithms from DPA attacks. Unfortunately these features are known not to be e cient against high order DPA (even of second order). In these paper we will rst describe new specialized rst order attack and remind how are working hi...

The majority of process mining techniques focuses on control flow. Decision Point Analysis (DPA) exploits additional data attachments within log files to determine attributes decisive for branching of process paths within discovered process models. DPA considers only single attribute values. However, in many applications, the process environment provides additional data in form of consecutive m...

A high-affinity, binary Eu(3+) receptor site consisting of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,7-diacetate (DO2A) was constructed with the goal of improving the detection of dipicolinic acid (DPA), a major component of bacterial spores. Ternary Eu(DO2A)(DPA)(-) complex solutions (1.0 microM crystallographically characterized TBA x Eu(DO2A)(DPA)) were titrated with EuCl3 (1.0 nM-1.0 mM); increased ...

Spores of Clostridium perfringens possess high heat resistance, and when these spores germinate and return to active growth, they can cause gastrointestinal disease. Work with Bacillus subtilis has shown that the spore's dipicolinic acid (DPA) level can markedly influence both spore germination and resistance and that the proteins encoded by the spoVA operon are essential for DPA uptake by the ...
