Post-Viking Microbiology: New Approaches,New Data,New Insights

In the 20 years since the Viking experiments, major advances have been made in the areas of microbial systematics, microbial metabolism, microbial survival capacity, and the definition of environments on earth, suggesting that life is more versatile and tenacious than was previously appreciated. Almost all niches on earth which have available energy, and which are compatible with the chemistry of carbon-carbon bonds, are known to be inhabited by bacteria. The oldest known bacteria on earth apparently evolved soon after the formation of the planet, and are heat loving, hydrogen and/or sulfur metabolizing forms. Among the two microbial domains (kingdoms) is a great deal of metabolic diversity, with members of these forms being able to grow on almost any known energy source, organic or inorganic, and to utilize an impressive array of electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration. Both hydrothermal environments and the deep subsurface environments have been shown to support large populations of bacteria, growing on energy supplied by geothermal energy, thus isolating these ecosystems from the rest of the global biogeochemical cycles. This knowledge, coupled with new insights into the history of the solar system, allow one to speculate on possible evolution and survival of life forms on Mars.

New Trends in Synthesis of Pyrazole Nucleosides as New Antimetabolites

Pyrazole nucleosides and condensed pyrazole nucleosides exhibit various biological activities. This article describes recent synthetic approaches to their preparation, chemical properties, biological activities, and structure-activity relationships, with emphasis to selected drugs or drug candidates. Two pyrazole C-nucleoside compounds pyrazofurin (pyrazomycin) and its α-epimer pyrazofurin B are active components of potent antivirals approved for therapeutic use in human medicine aimed against various diseases caused by DNA viruses.     

Some New Taxa and New Records of Charophyta from Guizhou

Guizhou is situated in the southwestern China and is very rich in algae However, our present knowledge of the Charophytes is scanty. Over 400 specimens were collected from 22 counties or cities and from them 41 species, 2 subspecies, 3 varieties were found. In addition to previously known species of this region, Nitella rasilis, N. paludosa, N. pseudopapillata and N. guizhouensis are new species, N. mirabilis var. libera is new variety, and N. penicillata, Chara burmanica, C. vulgaris var. gymnophylla are new records for China. In this paper, only the new taxa are reported.     

New species of Halacaridae (Acari) from New Zealand

Abstract

Seven new taxa of marine mites (Halacaridae) are described from the marine littoral zone of northern and southern New Zealand: Agauopsis novaezelandiae, A. luxtoni, Halacarellus lubricus, Copidognathus lubricus, Simognathus glaber, S. glareus, and Rhombognathus novaezelandicus. A list of halacarid species known from New Zealand waters is added.     

一种新组分酵母菌培养基的研制及应用

目的：研制一种酵母菌培养基用于快速准确测定食品中酵母菌数。方法：以麦芽汁为基料,加入大豆蛋白胨、酵母浸出粉、葡萄糖、可溶性淀粉,正交试验比较酵母菌生长情况来确定各组份含量。结果：MYSPA培养基最佳组成为：去除啤酒花的麦芽汁1000ml,大豆蛋白胨12.5g,酵母浸出粉7g,葡萄糖6g,可溶性淀粉10g。结论：酵母菌以灭菌L型涂布棒涂布在MYSPA培养基上,放置28℃培养48h计数菌落即可。
