Minus-strand origin of filamentous phage versus transcriptional promoters in recognition of RNA polymerase.

abstract：:Urinary acidification by the turtle bladder is due to a H+-ATPase that is located in the luminal membrane. The rate of H+ transport is stimulated by an increase in the ambient CO2. Using the fluorescent dye acridine orange, we showed that the mitochondria-rich cell of this equilibrium contains vesicles whose internal ...
