Characterization of the Lipids of Six Strains of Bacteroides ruminicola

The lipids of six strains of Bacteroides ruminicola were characterized. The nonpolar lipid accounted for 6 to 24% of the total lipid and was composed of diglycerides, triglycerides, and free fatty acids. The phospholipid fraction contained phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphosphingolipids, and trace quantities of phosphatidic acid. In three strains the phosphosphingolipid fraction made up more than half of the total lipid. The fatty acids in the nonpolar, acyl- and phosphosphingolipid consisted of a homologous series of branched and normal chains from 12 to 19 carbons. The long-chain base isolated from the phosphosphingolipids consisted of a homologous series of branched and normal chains from 14 to 24 carbons.

Composition of cell walls of 2 mutant strains of Streptomyces chrysomallus

The cell walls and peptidoglycans of two mutant strains, Streptomyces chrysomallus var. carotenoides and Streptomyces chrysomallus var. macrotetrolidi, were studied. The strains are organisms producing carotenes and antibiotics of the macrotetrolide group. By the qualitative composition of the peptidoglycans the mutants belong to Streptomyces and are similar. Their glycan portion consists of equimolar quantities of N-acetyl glucosamine and muramic acid. The peptide subunit is presented by glutamic acid, L, L-diaminopimelic acid, glycine and alanine. The molar ratio of alanine is 1.2-1.3. The mutant strains differ in the content of carbohydrates, total phosphorus and phosphorus belonging to teichoic acids. Teichoic acids of the cell walls of the both strains are of the ribitolhosphate nature. The cell walls of the mutants contain polysaccharides differing from teichoic acids and consisting of glucose, galactose, arabinose and fucose. The influence of the cell wall composition of the mutant strains on their morphology and metabolism and comparison of the data relative to the mutant strains with those relative to the starting strain are discussed.     

Compartmentalization of metabolism of spatially-delimiting amino acid pools of yeast cells

The spatially different amino acid pools (i.e. cytoplasmic, vacuolar and mitochondrial) of yeast cells are metabolically compartmentalized. The accumulation of amino acids in these pools occurs at different rates; the highest rates are observed for glutamate and alanine. The former is predominantly accumulated in the cytoplasm, the latter--in the vacuoles. The renewal rates of the amino acid pools are also different. Each of them contains at least two subpools, readily convertible and relatively stable ones. The readily convertible subpools of the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial pools predominantly contain glutamate, aspartate, valine and alanine; that of the vacuolar pool--alanine. The bulk of the readily convertible alanine subpool (67%) is localized in the vacuoles, that of glutamate and aspartate (85 and 68%, respectively)--in the cytoplasm.

Characteristics of the membranes of the pellicle of the ciliatePseudomicrothorax dubius

Summary The membranes of the pellicle of the ciliatePseudomicrothorax dubius are investigated using thin section electron microscopy and freeze-fracture replicas. The plasma membrane is covered by a surface coat and is connected to the outer alveolar membrane by short, sometimes branched, bridges. The inner alveolar membrane is coated on both sides. The epiplasm lies in intimate contact with the cytoplasmic surface of this membrane, and there is a corresponding deposit on the other surface. This deposit is regularly striated.The epiplasmic layer and the alveoli are interrupted at sites of cytotic activity,e.g., the attachment sites of trichocysts, the cytoproct, and the parasomal sacs. The striated deposit ends where the epiplasm ends, indicating a direct relationship between these two epimembranous layers.There is a deposit along the sides of the first part of the tip of the trichocysts, and in this region the trichocyst membrane is free of intramembranous particles.The membrane of the parasomal sacs has a coat on both surfaces. That on the extraplasmic surface is similar to the surface coat of the plasma membrane. The origin of the cytoplasmic coat is unknown. The cytotic activity of these sacs is indicated by their highly irregular profiles.

Antiinflammatory efficacy of extracts of latex of Calotropis procera against different mediators of inflammation

The latex of the plant Calotropis procera has been reported to exhibit potent antiinflammatory activity against carrageenin and formalin that are known to release various mediators. In the present study, we have evaluated the efficacy of extracts prepared from the latex of C procera against inflammation induced by histamine, serotonin, compound 48/80, bradykinin (BK), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the rat paw oedema model. The paw oedema was induced by the subplantar injection of various inflammagens and oedema volume was recorded using a plethysmometer. The aqueous and methanol extracts of the dried latex (DL) and standard antiinflammatory drugs were administered orally 1 hour before inducing inflammation. The inhibitory effect of the extracts was also evaluated against cellular influx induced by carrageenin. The antiinflammatory effect of aqueous and methanolic extracts of DL was more pronounced than phenylbutazone (PBZ) against carrageenin while it was comparable to chlorpheniramine and PBZ against histamine and PGE2, respectively. Both extracts produced about 80%, 40%, and 30% inhibition of inflammation induced by BK, compound 48/80, and serotonin. The histological analysis revealed that the extracts were more potent than PBZ in inhibiting cellular infiltration and subcutaneous oedema induced by carrageenin. The extracts of DL exert their antiinflammatory effects mainly by inhibiting histamine and BK and partly by inhibiting PGE2.

Evaluation of crop residues of North Gujarat

The available quantities of residues of castor, pearl millet, mustard and potato were estimated on per hectare basis. Tensile strength and central load-bearing capactiy of castor stem were measured to determine its usefullness in rural housing. The nutritive value of shells and leaves of castor, mustard straw and potato haulm were determined to assess their use as manure. The calorific value of stalk and shell of castor, stalk and straw of mustard and husk of pearl millet was also determined to study their fuel value. The study shows that the castor stalks may be utilised in rural housing. The castor shells and leaves, pearl millet husk, mustard straw and potato haulm are useful in composting and biogas generation. The calorific values of stalk and straw of mustard and castor stalks show their promise for direct burning.     

Ultrastructure of the colon of Locusta migratoria

The ultrastructure of the colon of Locusta migratoria is described. The colon is lined by a thick cuticle that, for the most part, adheres to the underlying epithelium. The cuboid epithelial cells are characterized by moderate invaginations of the apical and, to a lesser extent, basal plasma membranes; the lateral plasma membranes are relatively flat. The bulk of the mitochondria are located in the apical region of the cell and are not particularly associated with any of the plasma membranes. The basal region of the cells contains much rough endoplasmic reticulum, glycogenlike granules, and a predominance of spherical, electron-dense bodies of various sizes. Where muscle fibers make contact with the epithelium, the cells are much reduced; the cytoplasm is usually less electron-dense, and, typically, the nucleus has a thick layer of granular material associated with the inner nuclear membrane. The apical and basal plasma membranes of the reduced epithelial cells contain numerous hemidesmosomes. The apical hemidesmosomes occur in pairs around an extracellular space that contains electron-opaque material. The latter forms tonofibrillae that extend into the endocuticle. Bundles of microtubules are associated with the hemidesmosomes. The tubules traverse the cell from the apical to the basal region. The possible significance of these findings is discussed.

Incorporation of neurons of transplants of embryonal rat neocortex in the achievement of sensory function of the cerebral cortex of the recipient

The barrelfield of the adult rats was removed by suction and embryonic tissue of the somatosensory neocortex was transplanted into the cavity. Spontaneous and evoked activity of the grafted neurones was investigated extracellularly 2-3 months after the grafting. The light microscopy of the grafts revealed the presence of normal neuronal cells, but their distribution was diffuse, and they were not organized into barrels as in intact neocortex. The background activity of grafted neurones depended upon the level of the recipient's anaesthesia. The response types of the grafted neurones to vibrissae deflection and to tactile stimulation of the host body surfaces, their latencies and lability did not differ from such of the intact somatosensory cortex, but the receptive fields of the grafted neurones were larger. There was also substantial convergence of inputs from other surfaces upon the grafted neurones. The effectiveness of stimulation of the various skin areas was determined by the proximity of their neocortical representations to the graft.     

Characterization of the Lipids of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens

Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens strain D-1 was grown on a lipid-free chemically defined medium. The lipids were extracted with chloroform-methanol and separated into nonpolar and polar fractions by silicic acid column chromatography. Further separations were made by preparative thin-layer chromatography. The lipid fractions were identified by specific staining reactions and R(F) values, by phosphorus and nitrogen determinations, by chromatography of hydrolysis products, and by the use of infrared spectroscopy. The major nonpolar lipid was free fatty acid. Four major polar lipids were identified: phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol, lipoaminoacid, and glycolipid. The lipoaminoacid contained alanine, leucine, and isoleucine. The glycolipid contained galactose. The major fatty acids identified were C16:0 and C18:1. The significance of the presence of lipoaminoacid is discussed.     

Morpho-functional grounds of mode of life of Cladocera. V. Morphology and adaptive modifications of trunk limbs of anomopoda

Summary The structure of trunk limbs of Cladocera is comparatively reviewed. The structure of thoracic limbs of the primitive Chydorids Saycia cooki and Eurycercus glacialis is described and figured. The structure of leg I is described and figured in detail. The component parts of leg I of Chydoridae are homologized with those of other Anomopoda. The main phylogenetic trends are pointed out for leg I formation: involution of the posterior lobe of the endite, oligomerization of the setae in the homologous groups, especially those of the posterior lobes of the endite, specialization of the external branch of the endite for creeping in littoral forms and its general involution in planktonic forms. In connection with creeping the setae of the external branch of the endite differentiate in length and form, some of setules may enlarge or disappear. Legs II–V are built according to the same pattern but considerably differ in form and function in Cladocera, which are related to Conchostraca, possessing little differing appendages of different segments. The structure and the chaetal system of the homologous parts of legs II–VI of Anomopoda are analysed. Phylogenetic trends towards specialization and oligomerization are pointed out. The setae tend to form functional groups (e.g. in legs I, III). Thoracic legs II–VI present an example of a plasticity of a metameric organ built by the same pattern. These legs lost a locomotory function and perform other tasks. Setae of Cladocera have rather high formative possibilities. The examples of extreme changes of form are pointed out.
