High concentrations of particulate ATP were found in the anoxic brines of the Orca Basin and East Flower Garden, Gulf of Mexico. Other measurements indicative of growth and respiration suggested that the microbial community in the brines was inactive, but somehow the ATP associated with the cells persisted. Conceivably, when cells growing just above the interface sank into the brine, the increased osmotic stress could elicit an osmoregulatory response resulting in increased ATP. It was also possible that hydrolytic enzymes were inactivated, resulting in the preservation of ATP. Experiments in which a culture of marine bacteria was suspended in menstrua …

The Binding Of Host-Selective Toxin Analogs To Mitochondria From Normal And 'Texas' Male Sterile Cytoplasm Maize, Kurt A. Frantzen, J. M. Daly, Herman W. Knoche Jan 1987

The Binding Of Host-Selective Toxin Analogs To Mitochondria From Normal And 'Texas' Male Sterile Cytoplasm Maize, Kurt A. Frantzen, J. M. Daly, Herman W. Knoche

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Tritium-labeled toxin analogs were prepared by reduction with NaB3H4 of either the toxin from Helminthosporium maydis race T or a toxin component from Phyllosticta maydis. These reduced analogs had high radiochemical specific activities, high biological activities, and plant specificities identical to the native toxins. A filtration assay was developed to test the binding of these labeled analogs to isolated- mitochondria. Binding was not energy dependent nor was there measurable matrical uptake. The analogs were shown to be lipophilic, a characteristic which gave rise to considerable nondisplaceable binding. Under conditions limiting nondisplaceable binding, -the displaceable binding was …

Biotechnology: Altering Agriculture And The Nature Of Food, Susan K. Harlander Jan 1987

Biotechnology: Altering Agriculture And The Nature Of Food, Susan K. Harlander

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Fundamental discoveries in molecular biology within the past 30 years have initiated a biological revolution, which will have a profound effect on industry, government, and academic institutions. To date, the major industrial focus of this technology has been its use in the development of human healthcare-related products, such as human growth hormone, insulin, interferons, and interleukins, which can now be mass produced by genetically engineered microorganisms. However, the potential for genetically engineering plant, animal, and microbial cells with desirable structural, functional or chemical properties, offers an exciting new dimension for biotechnological input into the production and processing of foods. This …
