This from an IT manager responsible for 36 programmers and QA staff at a billion-dollar company. She raised llamas in her spare time, so it was probably the truth. Even funnier, she didn't seem to think it was an unusual excuse! Sick kids and deceased relatives can't be avoided, but she mentioned it as if HR gave everyone three live llama birth days a year.
USES LYSINE DECARBOXYLASE BROTH is used to detect and differentiate Enterobacteria from other microorganisms, based on lysine decarboxylation. Gelatin peptone provides nitrogen, vitamins, minerals and amino acids essential for growth.Yeast extract is a source of vitamins, particularly of the B-group.
L-glutamate is a substrate for the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) which catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-glutamate to make gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). L-Glycine and GABA are inhibitory neurotransmitters and L-glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter. Understand the similarities and differences between receptors for excitatory and inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitters in terms of: mechanism of action (ligand-gated ion channels), subunit composition, and hydropathy profiles.
