Electrophoresis of protein extracts from spores and mycelium of two Drechslera species (D. erythrospilum and D. teres) was carried out on polyacrylamide gels. Spores were harvested from V-8 juice agar and mycelium from V-8 juice broth cultures. One or two band differences were found between electrophoretic patterns of spore extract and mycelial extract depending on the species. Interspecies differences in patterns were no greater than intraspecies differences. The results are discussed, and it is suggested that the method of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins is unsuitable as an aid to fungal taxonomy in its present state of development.

An electrophoretic procedure was developed for discriminating cultivars of Desmodium ovalifolium on the basis of patterns of partially purified seed proteins. Electrophoresis was done on uniform 15% polycrylamide gels in basic (8.9) pH. The method produced satisfactory discrimination of eight cultivars used in its initial evaluation.Key words: Forage legume, Desmodium ovalifolium Guill et Perr., cultivar identification, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and infrared spectroscopy were used to study the relationship between Vibrio cholerae (classical), Vibrio cholerae (El Tor), and nonagglutinable (NAG) vibrios. Acid extracts of the different strains produced type-specific electrophoretic patterns, and the infrared spectra revealed broad absorption maxima which largely correspond to those found in other organisms. With the exception of the NAG vibrios, the infrared spectra of cholera El Tor vibrios were identical. Strain-specific differences were found in the exoprotein spectra of these organisms by the sodium dodecyl sulphate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic technique.

SUMMARYThe proteinases ofTrichomonas vaginalishave been analysed by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing denatured haemoglobin. Seven bands of activity were detected indicating multiple proteinases. All of the enzymes were stimulated by 1 mM dithiothreitol and had inhibitor sensitivities characteristic of cysteine proteinases. The enzymes differed significantly, however, with respect to pH optima and relative sensitivities to inhibitors.

ABSTRACT Three preparations of ovine LH were compared for biological potency and by several in vitro parameters. All were found to be heterogenous by immunodoublediffusion and by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. They all also showed similarities and/or differences with respect to their characteristics in immunodoublediffusion, radioimmunoassay, radioreceptor assay, gel electrophoresis and in dye-binding capacity, but in ways that preclude establishing a meaningful correlation between biopotency and the in vitro parameters or even among the in vitro parameters themselves. The implications of these findings for the use of these in vitro parameters for screening and assessing biological potencies of LH preparations and for inferring chemical and/or structural similarities between LH preparations are discussed. Aspects of polymorphism of LH, observed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels, are also discussed.
