| Lactobacillus trichodes | A species found in wines containing 20% ethanol and in lees in California, Australia, France, and Spain; in California this organism is commonly referred to as the hair bacillus, cottony bacillus, cottony mold, or Fresno mold. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Lactobacillus viridescens | A species found in discolored cured meat products such as sausage and bologna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| liver Lactobacillus casei factor | <biochemistry> Pteridine derivative that is abundant in liver and green plants and is a growth factor for some bacteria. The biochemically active form is tetrahydrofolate (see folate). (12 Nov 1997) |
| acidophil granule | A granule that stains with an acid dye such as eosin. Synonym: oxyphil granule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acrosomal granule | The single glycoprotein rich granule within an acrosomal vesicle, which results from the coalescence of proacrosomal granule's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha granule | A granule of an alpha cell that was named as the first of several kinds or because it was acidophilic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Altmann's granule | A granule that has an affinity for fuchsin. Synonym: Altmann's granule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amphophil granule | A granule that stains with both acid and basic dyes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial granule serine proteinase | <enzyme> Converts pro-atrial natriuretic factor to anf by cleaving the arg98-ser99 bond; n-terminal 26-residue amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| azurophil granule | <cell biology> Primary lysosomal granules found in neutrophil granulocytes, contain a wide range of hydrolytic enzymes. Sometimes referred to as primary granules to distinguish them from the specific or secondary granules. (02 Jan 1998) |
| Babes-Ernst granule | <microbiology> Metachromatic intracellular deposits of polyphosphate found in Corynebacterium diphtheriae when the bacteria are grown on sub optimal media. The granules stain reddish with methylene blue or toluidine blue. (02 Jan 1998) |
| basal granule | <cell biology> Structure found at the base of eukaryotic cilia and flagella consisting of a continuation of the nine outer sets of axonemal microtubules but with the addition of a C tubule to form a triplet (like the centriole). May be self replicating and serves as a nucleating centre for axonemal assembly. Anchored in the cytoplasm by rootlets. Synonymous with kinetosome. (18 Nov 1997) |
