Histochemical Investigation On The Distribution And Localization Of Digestive Enzymes In The Alimentary Canal Of The Caddis Fly Larvae, Brachycentrus Occidentalis Banks, Walter B. Hollow Aug 1971

Histochemical Investigation On The Distribution And Localization Of Digestive Enzymes In The Alimentary Canal Of The Caddis Fly Larvae, Brachycentrus Occidentalis Banks, Walter B. Hollow

All Master's Theses

A histochemical study of the digestive enzymes of Brachycentrus occidentalis Banks showed that the insect contains the enzymes necessary to utilize the major foods, viz., carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. There appears to be a correlation between the types of digestive enzymes found and the type of food eaten by the larvae. Values of pH for extracts from the different parts of the digestive system were: foregut, 7.6-8.4, midgut, 7.6-8.4, and hindgut, 7.0-7.6. Living micro-organisms in the gut lumen was also shown.


The Nature Of Salmonella Phage P3 Modification And Restriction By Growth In Escherichia Coli, Clark A. Pearson Jan 1971

The Nature Of Salmonella Phage P3 Modification And Restriction By Growth In Escherichia Coli, Clark A. Pearson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The Salmonella potsdam group B bacteriophage P3, which grows in the rough variant strain of S. potsdam (SP2-R) and E. coli KCS11, KW117, and C+/L with similar efficiencies, was restricted by SP2-R after a passage though E. coli. The entrance of restricted E. coli-grown phage DNA into nonpermissive SP2-R cells was confirmed by the finding that after adsorption of restricted 32P-labeled P3-C1·C+/L to SP2-R and removal of the adsorbed phage heads from cells, 80.3% of the labeled DNA activity sedimented with the cells. Thus restricted P3 DNA …
