'An enzyme extract has been prepared from cultures of the bacterium Cellvibrio fulva. This enzyme is capable of breaking down the polysaccna- ride dextran. The breakdown has been studied mainly by means of viscosity measurements. The experiments indi- cate that during the first stage of the breakdown the enzyme chiefly splits the dextran into comparatively large fragments. Glucose or disaccharides originating from the ends of the molecules do not seem to be formed during this phase. The optimum pH of the enzyme has been determined to be pH 5.2-5.3.' 20 references. 125 • * Ingelman, B. Nfigra resultat av sockerundersbkningar i Uppsala. I.

The extent and duration of the increase in blood volume is directly related to the amount of the substances administered, provided that the molecular size Is sufficient to prevent rapid elimination... The presence of macromolecular substances in the extracellu- lar fluids appears to aid in the maintenance of volume of blood after hemorrhage. * Paper presented at the Meet- ing of the American Medical Association at Atlantic City, N.

The fate oT~"the blood substitutes (colloid's) in the organism depends on the quantity of blood present, on the amount of the sub- stitute injected, and on the type of the disease. Ex- cess liquid is stored in the connective or lymphatic tissue, or partly excreted by the kidneys. Anatomical methods are not well suited to follow the fate of foreign colloids and of the non-colloids.

A concentrated (25 percent) solution of pvp was used as solvent of various hydrosoluble substances with the idea of retaining them longer in the organism. Laboratory and clinical experiments proved a remarkable increase in the duration of the effect of insulin, various hormones, penicillin, anesthetics and sedatives, sulfur salicylate, antihistamins and numerous other substances. This re- sult is obtained even when the substance is administered orally, while the pvp is given intravenously. Bibli- ography: p. 295-290. 711. Durel, P., and Dubost, P. Insulin preparations. U. S.

Distinguishing signs of Leuconostoc agglutinans are: the size of the colonies, the absence of sharply de- fined capsules, a somewhat lowered ability for acid for- mation than Leuconostoc mesenterioides and ability to clay yeast cells into clumps. Leuconostoc agglutinans preserves its ability to agglutinate yeasts when culti- vated upon all liquid and solid media. Leuconostoc ag- glutinans produced slime from sucrose. In this case the slime - enveloped culture does not clay yeasts. The presence of capsules may be observed with specially stained preparations under the microscope.' 843. Borisenko-Vitlash, I. M.
