(5) The rumen content became alkaline, and the infusoria count dropped.
(6) Studied were the values of pH and the content of ammonia gas and volatile fatty acids, the total acidity, and the count of Infusoria in the rumen content.
(7) The infusoria were found out only at the age of 120 days--their numbers were 155 000 per ml; at the age of 180 days their numbers rose to 368 000 per ml rumen fluid.
(8) The time of the infusoria survival in the blood serum was a criterion of toxemia level.
(9) With diseased cows pH in the rumen was 22 per cent lower than in the controls; the total count of infusoria per cu.cm was more than twice lower than the values found after recovery and those in the controls.
(10) The size of the double-stranded molecules of DNA of the macronucleus of an infusoria Tetrahymena pyriformis GL in the G-1 period of the cell cycle is not less than 400 .
(11) Investigated were the volatile fatty acids (VFA), ketone bodies, pH, and the count and composition of infusoria in the rumen content; the sugar, ketone bodies, and VFA in the blood--all being considered the most characteristic indices of carbohydrate metabolism in ruminants.
(12) The characteristics of digestive activities studied in rumen fluid at weekly--monthly intervals were pH, ammonia content, total content of volatile fatty acids, content of particular volatile fatty acids, incidence and number of infusoria.
(13) Infusoria life span was found to depend on peritonitis severity and serum concentration of medium-molecular peptides.
(14) Chlamydomonas data are in line with the results of the Infusoria and Chlorella experiments.
(15) Selective changes in Y. enterocolitica virulence have been made in experiments on eukaryotic cells, Infusoria, and peritoneal macrophages, used as models.
(16) In the test on Infusoria the cytotoxic action of strains isolated from plants has been noted.
(17) The dependence of immunological reactions of fishes infected with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infusoria was elucidated.
(18) The reproductive process of infusoria was investigated.
(19) In parallel experiments with the passage of Yersinia through Infusoria and mammalian macrophages an analogy to the processes of phagocytosis has been established.
(20) Entodinium infusoria were totally lacking in the rumen content of the affected animals, while the ketone bodies were 13.5 to 15.5 times as high, and VFA were 37 to 49 per cent lower.
Infusorial
Definition:
(a.) Belonging to the Infusoria; composed of, or containing, Infusoria; as, infusorial earth.

(3) The results of infusorial therapy of Dibenzepin in 53 patients with neurological diseases and concommitant depression are reported.
(4) Testosteron is separated from interfering steroids, notably dihydrotestosterone, by liquid-liquid partition chromatography on infusorial earth (Celite).
(5) The estradiol esters were separated from the oil by an additional chromatographic step using a heptane-silanized infusorial earth column prior to quantitation by GLC.
(6) Full clinical examination was performed, 22 of the animals being subject to laboratory investigations with regard to the rumen content (pH, infusorial count per 1 cm3 with the differentiation of bacteria, activity with regard to glucose, nitrates, sedimentation, and flotation), blood (whole blood picture, coagulation tests, bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT, serum aldolase, alkaline phosphatase, alkaline reserves, blood sugar), and urine (pH, protein, ketone bodies, sugar, and CSR).
