A Cytomorphological Study Of Podospora Curvicolla (Winter) Niessl, Stephen F. Tomasino

Masters Theses

A cytomorphological study was performed on Podospora curvicolla, a saprophytic Pyrenomycete. Major emphasis was placed on three important features: (I) ascocarp formation and development, (II) centrum structure and (III) ascus development and structure. A comparison with other studies of Podospora and with a genus generally considered closely related, Sordaria, was made to this present study of P. curvicolla.

Initial perithecial formation in P. curvicolla is indicated by a spherical mass of hyphae which may include filaments from many vegetative hyphae, but no apparent ascogonia or antheridia were observed. As the young perithecium matures in P. curvicolla, …

The Interaction Of R. Leguminosarum 128c53 With Pea Root Proteins And A Comparison Of The Surface Polysaccharide With A Mutant Defective In Nodulation, Ru-Po Lee

Masters Theses

The Rhizobium extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are implicated in the symbiotic process. The interaction between host root protein fractions and symbiont EPS-polyacrylamide affinity support has been investigated. Ten percent root protein fractions had been observed to bind to the affinity support. The compositions of the polysaccharides from the parent R. leguminosarum and its Exo^-1 mutant have also been compared. The Exo^-1 mutant produces diminished amount of EPS and does not nodulate the host pea roots. Five kinds of polysaccharides from the parent were obtained: EPS, capsule polysaccharides (CPS I) washed from the bacteria with saline solution, …

This telephone survey consists of eleven questions concerning an awareness of school news. One hundred people were randomly called and asked to respond to the survey.

The Casey School District utilizes …

A Comparison Of The Surface Polysaccharides Of Rhizobium Trifolii Su843 With Its Genetically Altered Mutant, 8002, Which Is Defective At Root Hair Curling (Hac-), Elroy Alfredo Turnbull

Masters Theses

Bacteria of the genus Rhizobium are capable of forming a complex nitrogen fixing (fix⁺) symbiotic association with leguminous plants. The surface polysaccharides are believed to be essential in the symbiotic process. The surface polysaccharides of a genetically altered Rhizobium trifolii mutant, 8002--which does not cause root hair curling (HAC^-), forms no nodules (Nod^-) nor fixes nitrogen (Fix^-)--is compared with its parent, SU843, which causes root hair curling (HAC⁺), forms nodules (Nod⁺), and fixes nitrogen (Fix⁺). Three types of surface polysaccharides--extracellular polysaccharide(s) (EPS), capsular polysaccharide(s) (CPS), and …

A Room Of One's Own: The Women's Room, Lou Ellen Crawford

Masters Theses

The recent resurgence of feminism has been accompanied by the development of feminist fiction. Identifying those characteristics by which feminist fiction adds to the American novel a new and valid perspective, feminist criticism has also flourished. Feminist critics agree that fiction with a new perspective demands critical evaluation from that same perspective; and Cheri Register provides a concise, thorough list of five elements which comprise effective feminist fiction. Of Register's five criteria, Carol Heilbrun stresses the equalizing, conciliatory influence of androgyny. Recent feminist authors have written many novels which perform one or more of the functions prescribed by Register. Three …
