Electrophoretypes Of Bovine Rotaviruses Detected In Turkey, Aykut Özkul, Kadi̇r Yeşi̇lbağ, Taner Karaoğlu, İbrahi̇m Burgu Jan 2002

Electrophoretypes Of Bovine Rotaviruses Detected In Turkey, Aykut Özkul, Kadi̇r Yeşi̇lbağ, Taner Karaoğlu, İbrahi̇m Burgu

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

A total of 83 faecal samples carrying rotavirus were used in this survey. Five different electrophoretypes were distinguished according to their migration patterns. All the rotaviruses examined in this research proved to be group A and to have short migration patterns. While local migration patterns were detected in individual herds (e.g. A, B, C, M, P and T), two different migration profiles were detected in herd K during rotavirus enteritis after a two year interval. The greatest variations in electrophoretic mobility in the groups were found in segments 2-4, and 6-9, while segments 1, 10, and 11 showed the most …

The Application Of Hypoxanthine Activity As A Quality Indicator Of Cold Stored Fish Burgers, Sühendan Mol, Nuray Erkan, Candan Varlik Jan 2002

The Application Of Hypoxanthine Activity As A Quality Indicator Of Cold Stored Fish Burgers, Sühendan Mol, Nuray Erkan, Candan Varlik

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Seafoods are very perishable, and many different methods are used for the determination of their quality. Sensory and hypoxanthine values of cold stored trout burgers, which we prepared, were determined during a 28-day period. Burgers spoiled after the 21st day of storage. The TVB-N values were still very low when the burgers spoiled and the pH values decreased during their storage. Therefore total volatile bases nitrogen and pH analyses were not useful for the determination of the quality of trout burgers. There was a negative correlation between the sensory and the hypoxanthine values during the storage period. Thus, hypoxanthine analysis …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The influence of ammonia concentration on ^{15}N-ammonia incorporation and de novo synthesis of amino acids by three predominant non-cellulolytic species of ruminal bacteria, Prevotella bryantii B_{1}4, Selenomonas ruminantium HD4 and Streptococcus bovis ES1, was investigated. The medium contained pancreatic casein hydrolysate (comprising mainly peptides with some amino acids) at a concentration of 1 g/litre and additions of graded concentrations of 15NH4Cl. When the initial concentration of ammonia increased from 0.045 to 0.436 g N/L in the growth medium, the proportion of cellular nitrogen and amino acid nitrogen derived from ammonia by P. bryantii and S. ruminantium increased (ranging from 0.33 …
