青海柴达木盆地第四纪介形类属Ilyocypris壳面瘤状装饰的分类意义

Ilyocypris是陆相介形类的一个常见属。对其壳体外层瘤状凸起分类意义的认识历来存有争议。本文在对柴达木盆地第四纪具瘤或经常具瘤的Ilyocypris分子进行研究并初步查明其瘤状装饰分类意义的基础上,将其鉴定描述为三个种：Ilyocypris gibba,I.echinata和I.salebrosa。前者个体发育中壳瘤减少直至消失的变化及其与气候环境变迁的相关性表明,I.gibba的壳瘤发育程度是表型特征,区内原定的I.biplicata和I.bradyi实为I.gibba的无瘤类型。I.echinata的壳瘤也不具备分类意义。I.salebrosa则不同,其鲜明而巨大的后背瘤足以与Ilyocypris属的其它种区别开来,是稳定的种征。     

Some practical aspects of measurements of betaines and their sulphur analogues by the use of HPLC

Recent interest in the analysis of glycinebetaine in algae has stimulated the search for improved methods of assaying betaines. A method based on high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation using commercial columns and guard columns is described in detail for the newcomer. The methods is sensitive, reproducible and flexible enough to allow for minor differences among different HPLC pump systems.     

Resistance of bacteria from cooling waters to bactericides

Summary Bacteria from water cooling systems developed resistance to three different bactericides i.e. quarternary ammonium compound (QAC), isothiazolone and thiocarbamate. Resistance was induced by exposing isolates to increasing sublethal concentrations for a period of 10 weeks.Bacillus subtilis became resistant to 1000 mg l^–1 QAC. Cross-resistance was also detected, e.g. isothiazolone induced resistance to QAC and thiocarbamate.
