The Α-Glycerophosphate Cycle In Drosophila Melanogaster Iv. Metabolic, Ultrastructural, And Adaptive Consequences Of Αgpdh-1 "Null" Mutations, Stephen J. O'Brien, Yoshio Shimada

Biology Faculty Articles

"Null" mutations previously isolated at the αGpdh-1 locus of Drosophila melanogaster, because of disruption of the energy-producing α-glycerophosphate cycle, severely restrict the flight ability and relative viability of affected individuals. Two "null" alleles, αGpdh-1^BO-1-4, and αGpdh-1^BO-1-5, when made hemizygous with a deficiency of the αGpdh-1 locus,Df(2L)GdhA, were rendered homozygous by recombination with and selective elimination of the Df(2L)GdhA chromosome. After over 25 generations, a homozygous αGpdh-1^BO-1-4stock regained the ability to fly despite the continued absence of …

A Study Of Naturally Occurring Algicides Produced By Freshwater Algae, Denny O. Harris, Harry D. Caldwell

KWRRI Research Reports

The mode of action of the algicide produced by Pandorina morum was examined by exposing Volvox globator and isolates spinach chloroplasts to a partially purified algicide preparation. Oxygen evolution of Volvox, whole chloroplasts and broken chloroplasts (minus the Calvin cycle),was reduced indicating that the algicide inhibits the light reactions of photosynthesis. Oxygen evolution studies of other Volvocaceae confirmed the observation that Pandorina morum is not significantly influenced by its own inhibitor. Molecular weight approximation by gel filtration established that the inhibitor has a low molecular weight (probably below 100 mw). Field studies indicate that this algicide has tremendous potential as …

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty and Staff Publications

I. Gunter and Christmas (1973) described the events leading to the stranding of a baleen whale on Ship Island, Mississippi, in 1968, giving the species as Balaenopteru physalus, the Rorqual. Unfortunately the identification was in error, but fortunately good photographs were shown. The underside of the tail was a splotched white, but there was no black margin. The specimen also had fewer throat and belly grooves than the Rorqual, as a comparison with True’s (1904) photograph shows. Dr. James Mead (in litt.) pointed out that the animal was a Sei Whale, Balaenoptera borealis. This remains a …

An Estuarine Low Temperature Fish Kill In Mississippi, With Remarks On Restricted Necropsies, Robin M. Overstreet

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty and Staff Publications

In January 1973, large numbers of Mugil cephalus (striped mullet), weighing approximately 250 gm each, died in two freshwater localities in tidewater bayous of Jackson County, Mississippi. Fish identified as Mugil curema, M. cephalus, Megalops atlantica, Dormitator maculatus, and Fundulus grandis were found dead in other low saline estuarine areas. Fish-kills during cold periods are less commonly encountered in Mississippi than in Texas or Florida. This particular incident is attributed to conditions of stress for fishes incompletely acclimated to the encountered low temperatures. The most deleterious stress was the low saline water which probably allowed a breakdown in the …

Food, Nutrition, And Health, Problems And Prospects, D. K. Salunkhe

Faculty Honor Lectures

Food, nutrition, and health - and their complex interrelationships - are necessities of life. Basically, nutrition depends on food; health depends on nutrition. Everyone needs to have enough good quality food to sustain himself. Satisfying that need on a world basis must be of concern to each of us.

Although accurate data are lacking, it is estimated that more than two-thirds of today's world population is afflicted by hunger and/ or malnutrition. Almost 300 million children are suffering physical and, probably, mental damage because of insufficient food. This evidence points to one of two conclusions: we have either too many …

Diethylstilbestrol, Zeranol Or Synovex-S Implants For Growing Steers, L. B. Embry, W. S. Swan

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1974

Numerous experiments during the past several years have shown that implanting feedlot steers or heifers with diethylstilbestrol (DES), zeranol or Synovex results in an increase in rate of gain with improved feed efficiency. Comparisons between the three products under various conditions are more limited. Therefore, comparative effects of DES, zeranol and Synovex-S were tested in a growing experiment where steers were full-fed corn silage with 2 lb. per head daily of protein supplement for a period of about 3 months.

Protein Supplementation For Finishing Cattle Fed All-Concentrate Or Low Roughage (Alfalfa) Diets, L. B. Embry, W. S. Swan

The experiment reported here was conducted to determine the need for supplemental protein in all-concentrate diets composed largely of corn grain and in diets with low levels of roughage (4 lb. of alfalfa haylage). Cattle fed supplements with soybean meal or urea were compared to those fed similar diets without supplemental protein to the corn or corn and alfalfa haylage.

Pine Sawdust As A Roughage Substitute In Beef Finishing Rations, L. D. Kamstra

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1974

Previous reports discussed toxicity trials with untreated sawdust, indicating no toxicity to ruminants when fed up to 25% of the ration. The low digestibility (7-10%) of softwood sawdust produced from the mills in western South Dakota limits its usage as a major ration component. The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate the usage of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) sawdust as a nonnutritive roughage component in beef finishing rations.

Effects Of Monensin On Feedlot Performance Of Growing And Finishing Steers, L. B. Embry, W. S. Swan

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1974

Feed additives have become an important part of rations for feedlot cattle during the past several years. They have been shown to being about improved performance in various ways such as stimulating growth, favorable alterations in fermentative and synthetic activity of the digestive tract and improvement in general health of the animals allowing more efficienct absorption and utilization of nutrients consumed.
