Physiologic Specialization Within Sphacelotheca Reiliana (Kühn) Clint. On Sorghum And The Biology Of Its Chlamydospores In The Soil, Ibrahim Aziz Al-Sohaily

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Corresponding to the title, the present study was concerned with two aspects. In the first of these, two chlamydosporous sori from corn were collected from California and Washington and 18 chlamydosporous sori from sorghum were collected from California, New Mexico, Texas, and India. Chlamydosporous cultures or paired monosporidial cultures from these were hypodermically injected as desired into seedlings of one or more of four sweet corn varieties and 57 sorghum varieties. Chlamydosporous cultures from the two corn sources yielded head smut on three sweet corn varieties and not on any of 14 sorghum varieties. Cultures from 14 of 18 sorghum …


A Study Of Educational And Promotional Programs Of Certified Seed As Evaluated By Certified Seed Growers And Certification Officials, J. Duane Colburn Jan 1960

A Study Of Educational And Promotional Programs Of Certified Seed As Evaluated By Certified Seed Growers And Certification Officials, J. Duane Colburn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the past few years, due to the competition which certified seed has experienced from commercial brands, more emphasis has been placed on the promotion of certified seed. Different brands, blends, and non-certified seed have been sold with the aid of extensive advertising and promotional schemes. Consequently, many certified seed producers and dealers have begun to publicize their product to meet outside competition. It appears that no longer does certified seed sell to the prospective grower unless the advantages of its use are publicized to encourage the use of this superior seed. Certification of seed is conducted by either a …


An Analysis Of Newspaper Usage Of 188 News Releases Issued By The South Dakota Department Of Game, Fish And Parks, Marshall Gall Jan 1960

An Analysis Of Newspaper Usage Of 188 News Releases Issued By The South Dakota Department Of Game, Fish And Parks, Marshall Gall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The publicity writer or information specialist is charged with informing as many people as possible about the institution for which he works—whether it is a government agency, a university or a commercial enterprise. To do this, he channels his supply of information to as many outlets as possible—radio, television, and as many newspapers as might conceivably have use for the material. This puts the publicity writer at a disadvantage in the matter of knowing his public. He cannot read all the newspapers, listen to all the radio newscasters, nor watch all the television programs that receive his material. Therefore he …


A Physiological Study On The Amino Acid Requirements Of Sphaerophorus Necrophorus, Douglas W. Kennedy Jan 1960

A Physiological Study On The Amino Acid Requirements Of Sphaerophorus Necrophorus, Douglas W. Kennedy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Investigation into the growth requirements of Sphaerophorus necrophorus (Flugge, 1886) Prevot, 1938 presents a difficult area for study. Only a few such investigations have been attempted in the past for this highly pleomorphic, gram negative, and thread like micro-organism. At present, there is a great deal of confusion concerning its growth characteristics. The development of a chemically defined medium will certainly play an important role in obtaining consistent growth characteristics which are more typical of the organics. The importance of this organism has been centered upon its role as a pathogen. As a cause of necrobacillosis diseased of domestic and …

The Role Of Anions In Influencing The Accumulation And Distribution Of Selenium 75, Phosphorus 32 And Sulfur 35 In The Leaves Of Wheat Seedlings, Tony J. Ganje

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An approach to investigation of the metabolic pathways of selenium was provided by the demonstration of a selenium-arsenic antagonism by Moxon. Since certain energy sources as well as ions in the media affect cellular permeation of selenium in yeast, this study was undertaken to investigate the role of anions on the uptake and translocation of selenium in wheat seedlings.

Some Effects Of Antibiotics On A Candida Albicans Population In The Intestinal Tracts Of Chickens, Roger E. Winans Feb 1958

Some Effects Of Antibiotics On A Candida Albicans Population In The Intestinal Tracts Of Chickens, Roger E. Winans

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Poultrymen are becoming extremely conscious of any disease which results in a decrease in production. Some of these diseases are the result of new intensive methods of management which place considerable stress on the individual bird. Probably the most important fungal diseases of poultry are aspergillosis, favus and moniliasis. Aspergillosis, an infection of the respiratory tract, is generally thought to be caused by Aspergillis fumigatus Frensius. Favus, a chronic dermatomyoosis (dermatomycosis?) is caused by Achorian gallimae. Moniliasis an infection of the mucous membrane lining the upper digestive tract is associated with Candida albicans and other members of the genus Candida. …


The Physiology And Some Nutritional Aspects Of A Rumen Bacterium, Norma P. Christopherson Jan 1958

The Physiology And Some Nutritional Aspects Of A Rumen Bacterium, Norma P. Christopherson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

One of the interesting symbiotic relationships in nature is that existing between the ruminants and their microbial population. This arrangement has solved for them the problem of existing on an herbivorous diet. Most mammals can derive little benefit from the potentially available energy in plant materials, which is locked in the complex, insoluble polysaccharide, cellulose. Cellulase is not a mammalian enzyme, but it is part of the chemical machinery of a number of bacteria, some species of which reside in the rumen. Many different organisms are present and their biochemical activities have not as yet been completely delineated. All of …


An Organism Resembling Sphaerophorus Necrophorus Isolated From A Beef Liver Abscess, James C. Canada Jan 1958

An Organism Resembling Sphaerophorus Necrophorus Isolated From A Beef Liver Abscess, James C. Canada

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Condemned beef livers cause a loss of several million dollars each year. This loss is felt not only by the meat packer, but the animal husbandryman as well as the consumer. Percentagewise, the United States annually condemns in federally inspected meat packing plants between two and 20 percent of all beef livers. These beef livers are principally of three pathological types. These types include liver abscesses, telangiectasia, and the “sawdust” liver. Little is known of the three liver conditions in regard to their causative agents. By microscopic examination usually one finds gram-negative, granular filaments approximately 100 microns in length present …


Construction And Evaluation Of The Performance Of A Horizontal Well In A Shallow, Thin Aquifer, Eugene J. Doering Jan 1958

Construction And Evaluation Of The Performance Of A Horizontal Well In A Shallow, Thin Aquifer, Eugene J. Doering

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Since infiltration galleries have been effective as a means of securing large quantities of water from thin aquifers, the question has arisen as to whether or not a small horizontal well that would yield sufficient water for irrigation could be constructed at a cost that would be within the budget of the family-sized farm in South Dakota. If so, a subsequent problem would be the development of some method of estimating the quantity of water a particular aquifer will yield to such a well. A possible approach would be to relate a certain length of horizontal casing to a vertical …
