Large scale solubilization of coal and bioconversion to utilizable energy. Quarterly technical progress report, January-March 1994

Description: In order to develop a system for large scale coal solubilization and its bioconversion to utilizable fuel, the authors plan to clone the genes encoding Neurospora protein that facilitate depolymerization of coal. They also plan to use desulfurizing bacteria to remove the sulfur in situ and use other microorganisms to convert biosolubilized coal into utilizable energy following an approach utilizing several microorganisms (Faison). In addition the product of coal solubilized by fungus will be ch… more

[Incremental funding request]

Description: Two separate experiments described here involves using early (2nd) instar larvae on plants with four levels of CO{sub 2} with no nutrient limitation, and using penultimate instar (5th) larvae fed plants grown under four CO{sub 2} and two nutrient levels in two feeding trials from plants from two different seasons, spring and fall. For each experiment the CO{sub 2} plant growth conditions were the same: pine seedlings were grown in open-topped chambers under three levels of CO{sub 2}: (1) ambien… more

Characterization of the mammalian DNA polymerase gene(s) and enzyme(s). Annual progress report

Description: Consistent with the long term goal of our research to understand the nature of the key enzymes in eukaryotic DNA replication we have characterized the properties of the wild type DNA polymerases of the {alpha}-family and their mutants. We have also provided evidence for the role of aphidicolin in the elongation process of the in vivo DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. We also developed a technology for planned prep from a large numbers of clones for direct screening by size or restriction dig… more

[Plant responses to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and transmission to other trophic levels]. Final report

Description: This program investigated how host plant responses to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide may be transmitted to other trophic levels, especially leaf eating insects, and alter consumption of leaves and impare their function. Study results included the following findings: increased carbon dioxide to plants alters feeding by insect herbivores; leaves produced under higher carbon conditions contain proportionally less nitrogen; insect herbivores may have decreased reproduction under elevated carbo… more

Large scale solubilization of coal and bioconversion to utilizable energy. Eleventh quarterly technical progress report, April 1, 1996--June 30, 1996

Description: Neurospora has the capability to solubilize coal and the protein fraction accounting for this ability has been isolated. During this period the cola solubilizing activity (CSA) was fractionated and partially sequenced. The activity has been determined to be a tyrosinase and/or a phenol oxidase. The amino acid sequence of the protein was used to prepare oligonucleotides to identify the clone carrying Neurospora CSA. It is intended to clone the Neurospora gene into yeast, since yeast cannot solub… more

Final report of DOE Grant DE-FG02-92ER61384, March 1, 1993--February 28, 1995 with no-cost extension to February 29, 1996

Description: This report focuses mainly on the effects that various plants may incur from exposure to elevated levels of carbon dioxide. Some experiments also examined the responses of insects to plants growing under elevated levels of carbon dioxide. Projected changes in carbon dioxide are presumed to be accompanied by altered climates, particularly elevated temperatures and perhaps altered moisture regimes.

Exploration of new perspectives and limitations in Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer technology. Final report, June 1, 1992--May 31, 1995

Description: Genetic manipulation of plants often involves the introduction of homologous or partly homologous genes. Ectropic introduction of homologous sequences into plant genomes may trigger epigenetic changes, making expression of the genes unpredictable. The main project objective was to examine the feasibility of using Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer for homologous gene targeting in plants.
