(PCG) Protein Crystal Growth Isocitrate Lyase. Target enzyme for fungicides. A better understanding of this enzyme should lead to the discovery of more potent fungicides to treat serious crop diseases such as rice blast. It regulates the flow of metabolic intermediates required for cell growth. Principal Investigator for STS-26 was Charles Bugg.

Tech. Sgt. Frank Castonguay pours a fluorescent oil bath over a KC-135 Stratotanker brake key inside a magnetic field generator Feb. 11, 2014, on Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England. The oil bath coats a part in fluorescent particles, which are attracted to any cracks after a magnetic field is established on either end of the part. This method quickly allows non-destructive inspection shop members to identify dangerous defects in parts. Castonguay is a 100th Maintenance Squadron NDI craftsman.
