Department of Applied Biological Chemistry, University of Tokyo, Japan.

The photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides f. sp. denitrificans IL106 can grow in high osmolarity. The accumulation of intracellular inorganic ions and organic solutes in cells grown in a synthetic medium containing different concentrations of NaCl was examined. Together with potassium ion, trehalose was the major organic osmoprotectant and its accumulation depended on the external salt concentration. Intracellular levels of glycine betaine and other osmoprotectants such as proline did not change when osmolarity increased.

D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
D001622 Betaine A naturally occurring compound that has been of interest for its role in osmoregulation. As a drug, betaine hydrochloride has been used as a source of hydrochloric acid in the treatment of hypochlorhydria. Betaine has also been used in the treatment of liver disorders, for hyperkalemia, for homocystinuria, and for gastrointestinal disturbances.
