    Notes: Abstract The molar yield coefficients (Y glucose, Y O 2) of glucose-limited continuous cultures of the thermoacidophile Bacillus acidocaldarius have been measured as a function of dilution rate as well as over a range of temperature and pH (51°C to 64°C, pH 2.8–5.5) at a fixed dilution rate of approximately 0.1 h-1. The highest growth yields were observed at 51°C and pH〉4.3 (Y glucose 54.8 g cells · mol glucose-1, Y O 2 15.0 g cells · mol O 2 -1 ), but were very much lower than those of mesophilic neutrophiles of similar respiratory chain composition to B. acidocaldarius. Even lower growth yields were observed when the temperature was raised or when the pH was lowered, lowest yields occurring at 64°C and pH 2.8 (Y glucose 23.4 g cells · mol glucose-1, Y O 2 5.9 g cells · mol O 2 -1 ). These decreases in growth yield could be correlated with increases in the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane to protons, i.e. cells needed to catalyse enhanced rates of substrate oxidation in order to avoid a potentially lethal acidification of the cytoplasm. This strategy appears to be successful in that the specific death rates in situ were very low for all cultures except those growing under the most extreme conditions (64°C, pH 2.8).

    Notes: Abstract A minimal-salts medium has been optimised to support the growth of the acidophilic thermophilic bacterium Bacillus acidocaldarius. This medium was used during a study of the effect of temperature and pH on the growth rate and growth yield of this organism in batch cultures; a statistical method was used to design the experimental points, and the data were subjected to a response surface analysis which allowed the growth rate and growth yield to be predicted over the entire temperature and pH range from a minimum number of experimental points. The results indicate different responses for growth rate (optimum, 60°C, pH 4.1) and growth yield (optimum tending towards low temperature and neutral pH).

    Description: Rat embryo fibroblasts transformed by Abelson murine leukemia virus (MuLV) produce and release a transforming growth factor (TGF). Production of this factor is correlated with a tyrosine-specific protein kinase that is functionally active and is associated with the major Abelson MuLV gene product, P120. Transformation-defective mutants of Abelson MuLV do not transform cells, do not have their virus coded transforming gene product phosphorylated in tyrosine, and do not induce TGF production. Abelson MuLV-induced TGF morphologically transforms cells in culture, competes with 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor (EGF) for binding to cell receptors, and induces phosphorylation of tyrosine acceptor sites in the 160,000-dalton EGF membrane receptor. After purification to homogeneity, Abelson virus-induced TGF migrates as a single polypeptide with an apparent size of 7400 daltons as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Twardzik, D R -- Todaro, G J -- Marquardt, H -- Reynolds, F H Jr -- Stephenson, J R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 May 21;216(4548):894-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6177040" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: To define the human homolog (or homologs) of transforming sequences (v-fes gene) common to Gardner (GA) and Snyder Theilen (ST) isolates of feline sarcoma virus (FeSV), a representative library of human lung carcinoma DNA in a cosmid vector system was constructed. Three cosmid clones were isolated containing GA/ST FeSV v-fes homologous cellular sequences, within 32- to 42-kilobase cellular inserts representing 56 kilobases of contiguous human cellular DNA. Sequences both homologous to, and colinear with, GA or ST FeSV v-fes are distributed discontinuously over a region of up to 9.5 kilobases and contain a minimum of three regions of nonhomology representing probable introns. A thymidine kinase selection system was used to show that, upon transfection to RAT-2 cells, the human c-fes sequence lacked detectable transforming activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Groffen, J -- Heisterkamp, N -- Grosveld, F -- Van de Ven, W -- Stephenson, J R -- N0I-CO-75380/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Jun 4;216(4550):1136-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6281890" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
