Energy-Dependent, High-Affinity Transport Of Nickel By Thermophilic Acetogenic Bacteria, Hsiuchin Yang May 1989

Energy-Dependent, High-Affinity Transport Of Nickel By Thermophilic Acetogenic Bacteria, Hsiuchin Yang

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nickel plays an essential role in acetogenesis at the level of acetyl-CoA synthetase, and the mechanism of nickel transport is therefore central to the metabolic capacities of acetogens. The mechanism of nickel transport by the thermophilic acetogenic bacteria Clostridium thermoaceticum ATCC 39073 and Acetogenium kivui ATCC 33488 was investigated using 63NiCl2 and an anaerobic microfiltration transport assay. Nickel transport by C. thermoaceticum was optimal at pH 7-7.5 and 65°C; nickel transport by A. kivui was optimal at pH 6.4 and 65°C. Cells during the early stages of growth displayed the highest propensity for nickel transport. Nickel transport was …

Variants And Polymorphisms Of Three Repetitive Dna Families In The Human Genome, Robert M. Roudabush May 1989

Variants And Polymorphisms Of Three Repetitive Dna Families In The Human Genome, Robert M. Roudabush

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A novel 0.6 kb LINE family in human DNA, designated L2Hs, has been described (Musich and Dykes 1986). Studies employing clone N6.4, containing three 0.6 kb segments of this family, indicate that these sequences are interspersed and moderately repetitive. Two additional variant sequences of the L2Hs family, N6.1 and N6.3, have been identified. Restriction mapping of each cloned segment indicates similarities among N6.4, N6.3 and N6.1. When the cloned DNAs were cleaved with restriction enzymes and subjected to cross-hybridization, each cloned insert produced a pattern indicating that the sequences contained in N6.1 and N6.3 are represented in at least one …

A readership survey can provide this information in a cost-effective manner. This thesis attempts to present a model for an in-house readership survey for a company-sponsored magazine. The following survey was developed for one company-sponsored magazine, the GTA Feeds Dairy Update magazine. This 16-page -company-sponsored magazine is issued four times each year …
