Paratuberculosis is a chronic, progressive enteritis of ruminants, caused by subspecies . It affects the productivity of infected dairy cows, causing a reduction in the daily milk yield and basic milk components. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of subspecies on the productivity of dairy cows in two herds.

It was shown that a mixture of resite with novolak was less stable than resite or novolak itself as regards bulk properties. This aging phenomenon is mainly due to reaction of ammonia (product of hexa decomposition) with CH2OH groups present in resite.

In this paper the FT-IR, py-GCMS and inverse gas chromatography methods were applied for assessment of the changes occurring during storage of the phenolic resins. We have found that during storage some examined resins occurred partial curing.

Three different DNA fragments restored the wild-type phenotype termed Aci- because it does not acidify the complete glucose medium under the tested conditions. Molecular dissection of the transforming DNA fragments identified two multicopy suppressor genes YJL185C, YJR129C and one allelic YLR376C.

Their activities on the growth, transport, and ATPases from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were compared. The compounds differ in the number of carbon atoms in their aliphatic chain and in the position of that chain in their molecular structure.
