(16) Sucrose density gradient centrifugation was used to estimate the molecular weights and determine possible physical aggregation of the enzymes catalyzing steps 2 to 6 in pre-chorismic acid polyaromatic biosynthesis in Anabaena variabilis, Chlamydomonas reinhardi, Euglena gracilis, Nicotiana tabacum, and Physcomitrella patens.
(17) In the moss Physcomitrella patens, single-cell protonemata and multicellular gametophores respond to reorientation relative to the gravity vector by growing negatively gravitropically.
