  • (20) The radiochemical testings further indicate that the mutation has inactivated an inducible glycerol kinase, while a low residual activity may be due to a second, basal and non-inducible glycerol kinase, in accordance with a proposal by North (1973, 1974) that Neurospora has two glycerol kinases with these properties.

Soap


Definition:

  • (n.) A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather, and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths, usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium, potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic, palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf. Saponification. By extension, any compound of similar composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent or not.
  • (v. t.) To rub or wash over with soap.
  • (v. t.) To flatter; to wheedle.
