ABSTRACT

Adsorption of λ-phage on sensitive bacteria Escherichia coli is a classical problem but not all issues have been resolved. One of the outstanding problems is the rate of adsorption, which in some cases appears to exceed the theoretical limit imposed by the law of random diffusion. We revisit this problem by conducting experiments along with new theoretical analyses. Our measurements show that upon incubating λ-phage with bacteria Ymel, the population of unbound phage...

Regulation of the High-Affinity NO^sub 3^^sup -^ Uptake System by NRT1.1-Mediated NO^sub 3^^sup -^ Demand Signaling in Arabidopsis[W]
Plant Physiology ; The NRT2.1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a major component of the root high-affinity NO^sub 3^^sup -^ transport system (HATS) that plays a crucial role in NO^sub 3^^sup -^ uptake by the plant. Although NRT2.1 was known to be induced by NO^sub 3^^sup -^ and feedback repressed by reduced
