From the moment when the developing seed has reached the maximal fresh weight to the moment of its complete ripening, the RNA content decreases from about 700 μg per seed to about 200 μg.
-
During the same period the DNA level (about 13–15 μg per seed) remains nearly costant.
-
Fractionation by sucrose density gradient of the phenol extracted RNA (H. L. Sanger and C. A. Knight, Biochem. Biophys. Reserch Commun., 13, 445, 1963) shows that during the ripening of the seed the high molecular weight RNA decreases much more than the low molecular weight RNA.
-
Radioactive phosphate injected in the seeds is incorporated in the RNA at all the stages. Fractionation by sucrose density giadient shows that the phosphate is essentially incorporated in low molecular weight RNA and there is pratically no labelling of the heavier RNA after quite a long period (2 hr.).

The catalase activity of Candida tropicalis pK 233 was induced by hydrocarbons but not by glucose, galactose, ethanol, acetate or lauryl alcohol.
The induction of the catalase activity depending upon hydrocarbons was sensitive to cycloheximide but not to chloramphenicol.
Glucose repressed strongly the induction of the catalase activity by hydrocarbons but galactose did not affect seriously.
When C. tropicalis was incubated with hydrocarbons, the appearance of microbodies was observed electronmicroscopicaliy.

l-Aspartate was found to replace l-asparagine in the protective action from acid inactivation of l-asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) produced by Escherichia coli A–1–3 and at the same time to inhibit the proteolytic inactivation by α-chymotrypsin.
l-Asparaginase changed in its chromatographic properties in the presence of l-aspartate and became to be absorbed on the CM Sephadex column.
The sedimentation patterns of l-asparaginase at pH 3.5 were identical either in the presence or absence of l-aspartate, showing partial dissociation. But the reversibility to the active state was observed only in the enzyme dissolved in the solution containing l-aspartate.
l-Aspartate did not prevent the enzyme either from the dissociation into subunits or from decrease in the activity by urea.
High concentration of l-aspartate was shown to inhibit the l-asparagine hydrolysis reaction.
l-Aspartate was suggested from ORD measurements to cause changes in the higher structure as well as the ionic properties or proteolytic inactivation.

Research into the visual shape discrimination abilities of compound‐eyed animals has almost exclusively been limited to insects, the crustaceans having been virtually ignored. The two groups have many dissimilarities, having primarily adapted in different habitats to different lifestyles. Differences may exist in visual systems and visually mediated behavior.
-
Fiddler crabs (Uca pugilator), without training, differentially approached dissimilar silhouettes presented simultaneously, demonstrating visual discrimination between stationary, geometric shapes of equal‐area. The strength of response was ordered hierarchically: vertical rectangle, horizontal rectangle, triangle, square, circle.
-
Basic geometric shapes were used to facilitate replication and comparison with research findings from other species.
The incorporation of 14C-methanol, 14C-formaldehyde, 14C-formate and 14C-bicarbonate into a methanol-utilizing yeast, Candida N–16, was examined by paper-chromato-graphy and radioautography.
At the earliest time period examined, the highest percentage of radioactivity fixed from 14C-methanol or 14C-formaIdehyde into methanol-grown cells was found in fructose phosphate. The percentage distribution of radioactivity in fructose phosphate decreased as time elapsed. The radioactivity fixed from these compounds into glucose-grown cells was negligible compared with that fixed into methanol-grown cells.
The incorporation of 14C-formate into methanol-grown cells was extremely low. The highest percentage of radioactivity fixed for short time incubation was found in serine. The incorporation pattern of glucose-grown cells was similar to that of methanol-grown cells.
At the earliest time period, over 70% of radioactivity fixed from 14C-bicarbonate into methanol- or glucose-grown cells was found in aspartate.
These results suggest that in Candida N–16 methanol is specifically assimilated by a route with hexose phosphate as a primary stable intermediate.

- Highlights
The present investigation signifies the role of Enterobacter spp. in various processes:
??To synthesize gallic acid (a precursor for food oxidant such as propyl gallate) and a bacteriostatic antibiotic (trimethoprim).
??To protect the environment from tannery’s discharge through the process of biodegradation.
??To reduce the toxicity of tannins in animal feed.
L-Asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) from Escherichia coli A–l–3 was acetylated using acetic anhydride as a modifying chemical. The fully acetylated L-asparaginase retained 60% of the activity of the unmodified L-asparaginase.
The acetylated L-asparaginase hydrolyzed D-asparagine and L-glutamine as well as L-asparagine in the same ratio as the unmodified L-asparaginase did.
However, the effects of pH on the activity of the acetylated L-asparaginase showed very interesting differences from that of L-asparaginase. On the other hand, both L-asparaginase and the acetylated L-asparaginase exhibited similar pH activity curves on L-glutamine hydrolysis.
The acetylated L-asparaginase was found to become more stable against acid or heat in the presence of L-aspartate than in its absence in the same manner as L-asparaginase was.
The egg white, thick and thin fractions, was solubilized in 1.0% SDS solution by vigorous mixing and subjected to gel filtration on a Sepharose 4B column, eluted with 1.0% SDS. The isolated thick and thin ovomucins were found by analytical disc electrophoresis to be free from contamination with lysozyme.
In the velocity sedimentation the two ovomucin fractions behave similarly, both comprising at least two components with sedimentation coefficients 35 S and 30 S.
The chemical compositions of the two ovomucin fractions showed only notable difference in that the carbohydrate content of the thick white ovomucin was somewhat higher than that of the thin white ovomucin. The amino acid profiles of the two fractions were similar.
-
Continuous darkness leads in a few days to a disappearance of the variations of the circadian rhythms of digestive enzymes while these rhythms go on in continuous light.
-
Short (1 or 2 hrs) and low intensity flashes of white light are effective in bringing on the reappearance of rhythmic variations in darkness.
-
We have been able to establish an isoquantic spectrum of action of the light. Two values of wavelength appears to account for a maximum sensibility of the shrimp: one in ultraviolet light and an other one, more important, in the green (λ=544 nm).
-
In green light it is possible to obtain the same effect of light by decreasing the time of stimulation to 5 or 10 mn and in increasing the total quantity of energy. Significant responses are obtained with total energy greater than 10000 pE. cm‐2.
