Responses to Diets High in Phenylalanine Compounds as Genetic Parameters in Mice (open access)

Responses to Diets High in Phenylalanine Compounds as Genetic Parameters in Mice

The induction of phenylketonuria in mice through the use of excess dietary phenylalanine is an area in which limited research has been done. This study intends to pursue further work in this area, more specifically, to study the effects of excess dietary phenylalanine and the phenylalanine analogue A.P.B.A. (2-amino-3-phenyl butanoic acid) (7) on brain serotonin and brain norepinephrine. In addition, the effects of these two compounds on the incidence of audiogenic seizures will be explored.

Serological Characteristics of Coagulase Positive and Negative Staphylococci (open access)

Serological Characteristics of Coagulase Positive and Negative Staphylococci

For this work, the decision was made to contrast two serological tests, that of the tube agglutination technique and the fluorescent antibody technique for correlation with the coagulase and other characteristics of Staphylococcus strains. This has been a preliminary survey in the hope that as further knowledge is obtained about the staphylococci, grouping of the organisms will become more routine and relatively less complex.

Some Physiological Effects of Chlorine upon Two Chlorine Resistant Algae (open access)

Some Physiological Effects of Chlorine upon Two Chlorine Resistant Algae

This research is concerned specifically with the growth of two selected algae found surviving in chlorinated water in outdoor swimming pools. Unialgal cultures were used to determine the free chlorine residuals that these algae were able to tolerate.
