Colony formation in a synchronized Scenedesmus could be controlled by the addition of 0.05% Na3 citrate or 85 μM EDTA to modified Bristol's medium. No unicells were formed; only S. quadricauda-like or S. longispina-type colonies were observed in young cultures grown in that medium. A colony population could be made completely unicellular in 2 days if grown in soil-Bristol's medium and transferred daily. The pleomorphic Scenedesmus was examined in synchronized culture. When the organism was grown in a defined medium in a 15-hr light /9-hr dark cycle on a roller tube rotator at 2-6 rpm and transferred daily, synchrony of cell division and release of the products were achieved. In a synchronized culture 2 doublings/day were recorded, with most cytoplasmic cleavages and all releasing of daughter cells taking place in the dark period. In many observations with several synchronized strains of Scenedesmus, no fixed pattern of release of daughter products from mother cells or colonies was detected. Colonies or unicells had their full spine complement at the time of release. As a cell or colony aged the spines sometimes increased in thickness. Other Scenedesmus strains were examined to provide supporting data. 相似文献

Extensive variability in spine number and position was emphasized in the protologue for the spiny unicell Lagerheimia hindakii Hegew. et A. Schmidt. Using an axenic clone established from culture Hindk 1975/95, which provided the type material of that organism, we initiated a morphogenetic study. While in the unicellular stage, three short spines were usually formed at each cell pole. A colonial morph was first observed during the initial isolation procedure after unicells were dispersed on firm agar and allowed to grow. We propose that L. hindakii is a Scenedesmus, close to S. subspicatus R. Chod. This organism is unlike most representatives of the genus Scenedesmus because colonies do not readily appear in dilute media; they also fail to form in Bristol's liquid medium unless there is an organic supplement, e.g. glucose. Hindk 1975/95 may be more closely related to truly unicellular taxa than to other Scenedesmus. 相似文献

The UTEX 2193 strain of Scenedesmus armatus (Chod.) Chod, when cultured in any of several media (whether natural or artificial, concentrated or dilute) produced a variety of colonial morphologies as well as a unicell population. Morphological expression was related to culture ape. When the initial cell density was just a feu1 hundred cells per mL. the culture first produced a unicell population, then spiny colonies, and as stationary phase was approached, spine-less colonies. Two classes of spiny colonies were detected. Type I colonies had elongate cells with the terminal cells shorter than median cells. Spines were longer than cell length. The wider, oval, grainy cells of Type II colonies were uniform m length. Spines were shorter and thicker than those on Type I colonies. Only Type I colonies produced unicells: the latter appeared as two morphs. The smaller unicell was obovoid with four delicate spines: the larger had ovate cells bearing four thicker spines. Control of unicell development in all media was achieved by carefully monitoring colony type and cell number used for the inoculum. A unicellular population developed in batch culture in defined media, both concentrated and dilute, when the initial cell density (either Type I or Type II colonies) was low (below 1000 cells-mL?1), as well as in synchronous cultures. With higher initial cell densities, e.g. 2 × 104 cells·mL?1, the inoculum had to contain Type I colonies to produce unicells. Unicells were also produced in water from Agronomy Pond, where the strain originated. We discuss the role of unicell populations in the distribution of Scenedesmus. 相似文献

Various flotation studies were conducted on several strains of Scenedesmus. Inverted microscope flotation experiments run on culture 614 with bristles, culture 614 centrifuged to remove bristles, and bristle-less strain 76 revealed that bristles aid in flotation. Cultures grown in NH4NO3-Bristol's compared to cultures grown in Bristol's medium exhibited a positive buoyancy as do cells transferred, to fresh media. Differential centrifugation procedures demonstrate that colonies with bristles and spines exhibit a greater buoyancy than spineless and bristle less colonies, and furthermore that unicells and newly released colonies exhibit greater buoyancy than older cultures and large, granular, dividing cells. 相似文献

Young Spiroplasma citri, corn stunt spiroplasma, and honey bee spiroplasma colonies fixed in 5% glutaraldehyde in M 199 cell culture medium with 0.25 M sucrose showed elongated mycelium-like cells which were sometimes branched or helical. In older colonies beaded chains and rounded bodies were formed. Fixation in 6 % glutaraldehyde in distilled water resulted in amorphous masses in which rounded bodies were present. The spiroplasma cells did not remain osmotically active after glutaraldehyde fixation. Acholeplasma laidlawii and Mycoplasma hyorhinis colonies fixed in glutaraldehyde with or without M 199 medium with 0.25 M sucrose showed little difference in cell morphology. 相似文献

The formation of cell wall fibres at the surface of isolated leaf protoplasts has been studied by scanning electron microscopy. Fibres are not formed on incubated protoplasts until a lag period has elapsed. This period is about 8 h for leaf protoplasts of Nicotiana tabacum and about 45 h for leaf protoplasts of Antirrhinum majus. In the case of Antirrhinum protoplasts the length of the lag period is dependent on the concentration of osmoticum present during the incubation period. If regenerating protoplasts are briefly treated with dilute cellulase, the newly formed wall is completely digested. Such protoplasts are capable of producing new fibres at the surface within minutes of their return to a nutrient medium. These results are discussed in terms of the likely source of the lag period and its significance in wall regeneration studies.Abbreviations MS

Four strains of Scenedesmus parisiensis Chodat were studied in xenic and axenic culture in 3 media as well as in cultures incubated in sterile vessels in nature. Organized coenobia are usually produced but these may have merely short spines, spines and serrate edges, or lack wall ornamentation. Because the serrate edge is either not formed or cannot be readily detected in most cases, it is not a satisfactory morphological feature for delimiting this species. In laboratory studies it is noted that S. parisiensis might be confused with S. denticulatus rather than S. brasilien-sis. Inasmuch as both xenic and axenic cultures of the -f strains produced similar results, S. parisiensis can be readily characterized. 相似文献

Summary An anaerobic, free-living spirochete was isolated from mud. The organism can be cultivated in ordinary nutrient media, e.g.
yeast extract-glucose. End products of glucose fermentation are: lactic, acetic, and succinic acids, CO2, and H2.
In cultures of this organism spheroid bodies are formed, especially during the stationary growth phase. Studies of slide cultures
showed that these bodies, when inoculated in fresh medium, do not give rise to spiral cells whereas a rapid multiplication
of normal cells, also present in the inoculum, was observed.
Since the organism is serologically related toTreponema pallidum, it has been assigned to the genusTreponema, and is here described asTreponema zuelzerae nov. spec.

Summary Heating ofListeria monocytogenes (Scott A strain) in potassium phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.2) at 52°C for 1 h led to injury, with the heat-injured cells failing to produce colonies on agar medium containing 5% NaCl. The detection of injury was based on the use of differential media: plating on tryptose phosphate broth+2% agar and 1% sodium pyruvate (TPBA+P) and on tryptose phosphate broth+2% agar and 5% NaCl (TPBA+S). Only non-injuredListeria formed colonies on TPBA+S whereas both heat-injured and non-injured cells formed colonies on TPBA+P. The bacterial count on TPBA+P minus that on TPBA+S represents the extent of heat injury. A large number of selective agars were tested and compared to TPBA+P for their ability to support repair and colony formation of heat-injuredL. monocytogenes. Media containing 0.025% phenylethanol, 0.0012–0.0025% acriflavin, 0.1–0.2% potassium tellurite, 0.001% polymyxin B sulfate, 5% NaCl or a combination of these ingredients were detrimental to the recovery of heat-injuredL. monocytogenes. Media currently in use forL. monocytogenes are not satisfactory for the recovery of injured cells. 相似文献

A culture system was devised to study the differentiation of bovine blastomeres. Blastomeres (2–13 per well) from embryos produced by in vitro maturation, fertilization, and culture of oocytes obtained from slaughterhouse ovaries were cultured for 10 days in 24-well culture plates on feeder layers in blastomere culture medium (BCM: equal parts tissue culture medium 199 and low-glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum). Ovine embryonic fibroblasts and STO cells were superior to bovine and mouse embryonic fibroblasts as mitotically inactivated feeder cells. Over five studies in which four blastomeres from an embryo were added to each culture well, an average of one colony per well formed from the blastomeres. The colonies continued to grow throughout the culture period, and most colonies resembled trophectoderm in their cellular characteristics, although some cultures contained a mixture of trophectoderm and endoderm. When the number of blastomeres cultured in each well was varied from 2–8, the number of colonies formed was proportional to the number of blastomeres added. Blastomeres from day 5 and day 6 embryos produced fewer colonies than did those from day 4 embryos, perhaps as a result of differentiation and tighter blastomere adhesion resulting in damage during their separation. The absence of serum did not alter the number of colonies formed. A number of growth factors, including LIF, OM, PDGFα, and FGF4, had no effect on the number of colonies, the size of colonies, or their alkaline phosphatase staining score beyond that provided by the feeder layer or serum when present. Blastomeres did not form colonies in the absence of feeder layers. Mol. Reprod. Dev. 48:238–245, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

In the spring of 2007, a serious disease on amaranth was noticed in several farms in the major amaranth production area in central Taiwan. Abundant oospores were found in the disease tissues. A species of Phytophthora was consistently isolated from disease tissues. The organism formed abundant oospores with smooth walls and with amphigynous antheridia in single culture. Sporangia were partially deciduous with short‐ to medium‐length pedicels. Morphological characteristics of this organism did not match any reported Phytophthora species, and the organism was named Phytophthora amaranthi. Pathogenicity tests and molecular characterization confirmed the identity of the organism as a new pathogen of amaranth and a new species of Phytophthora. 相似文献

SUMMARY. In laboratory experiments, long, Asplanchna-induced posterolateral spines of Brachionus calyciflorus were very effective in preventing their capture and subsequent ingestion by the predator Asplanchna sieboldi but provided no protection against predation by Mesocyclops edax. Young, short-spined B. calyciflorus were always captured after attack by adult A. sieboldi and were ingested in about 12 seconds. Adult, short-spined forms were captured on c. 35% of occasions when attacked by this predator and were ingested in about 50 s. Young and adult long-spined forms were captured by this predator on c. 60% of occasions when attacked, but they both almost invariably escaped or were rejected 20–35 s after capture. Short- and long-spined B. calyciflorus adults were always captured when attacked by adult, female M. edax and were completely ingested in about 20 s and 30 s, respectively. Life-table experiments conducted with B. calyciflorus at several levels of the food organism, Aerobacter aerogenes, showed that neither the possession of long posterolateral spines nor the production of offspring with long posterolateral spines interfered with survivorship, fecundity, or reproductive potential. In the laboratory, the volumes of the amictic parthenogenetic eggs of B. calyciflorus cultured on Euglena or Aerobacter were significantly greater in individuals from populations maintaining long posterolateral spines than in comparable-sized individuals from populations maintaining short spines. Egg volume was generally independent of adult body length, but it was significantly greater in Brachionus fed on Euglena compared with Aerobacter. Possible reasons why B. calyciflorus does not produce long posterolateral spines in the absence of Asplanchna are discussed. Few organisms other than B. calyciflorus are known to develop novel defensive phenotypes in direct response to the presence of a predator. It is suggested that such developmental responses evolve only when two conditions apply: (1) the defensive structure is primarily effective against a single type of predator, and (2) the prey organism exhibiting the response has a short generation time. 相似文献

Phytoplankton often develop various defense mechanisms in response to zooplankton grazing, such as spines and colonies. While it is now known that increased spine length and cells in a colony of members of the genus Scenedesmus, when zooplankton grazing is intense, helps in reducing zooplankton filtering rates, the effect of these defense mechanisms at the population level has been observed in few studies. Here we present data on the growth rates of four zooplankton species, Brachionus calyciflorus, B. patulus, Ceriodaphnia dubia and Daphnia pulex at two food levels using two species of colony-forming Scenedesmus spp.: S. acutus (cell length = 18.2 ± 0.4 µm; width = 4.2 ± 0.1 µm; average colony length = 90 µm; width: 21 µm) and S. quadricauda (cell length: 21 ± 0.5 width 7.5 ± 0.3 µm; average colony length: 84 µm; width: 30 µm). Whereas S. acutus had no spines, S. quadricauda had spines of 6–10 µm. Population growth experiments of the test rotifers and cladocerans were conducted in 100 ml containers with 50 ml of the medium with test algae. Algae concentrations used were: 13 and 52 mg dw l–1 of each of the two algal species offered in colonial forms. We used an initial inoculation zooplankter density of 1 ind. ml–1 for either of the rotifer species and 0.2 ind. ml–1 for either of the cladoceran species. In all, we had 64 test containers (4 test species of zooplankton × 2 test species of algae × 2 algal densities × 4 replicates). We found a significant effect of algal size on the growth rates of all the four tested species of zooplankton. The population growth rates of zooplankton ranged from –0.58 to 0.66 and were significantly higher on diet of S. acutus than of S. quadricauda. Thus, our study confirms that the larger colony size and the formation of spines in S. quadricauda were effective defenses against grazing by both rotifers and smaller sized cladoceran Ceriodaphnia dubia but that larger-bodied Daphnia pulex could exploit both the algal populations equally. 相似文献

A new dimension to the well-known phenotypic plasticity in Scenedesmus is presented. Large colony type Scenedesmus communis Hegew. reproduced in a typical fashion in batch culture in standard media but produced small colonies (SCT) resembling S. komarekii Hegew. and S. subspicatus Chod. at low cell densities in dilute media. Highest frequency of production occurred after cells had been pretreated in a concentrated (inorganic nutrients) medium. Examples of both cyclic and noncyclic behavior in the life history of Scenedesmus are presented. The noncyclic behavior resembles previous reports on induced heritable changes in flax and tobacco due to different treatment applications of fertilizers. An analysis of gross morphological features using scanning electron microscopy showed that isolated strain SCT1 was similar to S. komarekii (strain UTEX 1236) and isolated strain SCT2 was similar to S. subspicatus (strain UTEX 1358). Growth and morphological expression of the induced SCT strains were highly similar to those of the respective UTEX species. The current state of taxonomy and the implications of phenotypic plasticity on taxonomy in Scenedesmus are discussed. 相似文献

An embryogenic suspension culture of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) consisting of small, embryogenic cell clusters was obtained from callus formed on basal sections of young leaves through a process of selective enrichment. These suspensions were used as a source of protoplasts. The isolated protoplasts divided at a frequency of 0.5–10% when plated in an agarose solidified culture medium. Conditioned medium, in which embryogenic Dactylis suspension cultures had been grown, was found to increase the rate of cell colony formation. Protoplast-derived colonies grew rapidly in a bead-type culture system of floating agarose slabs in liquid medium. New suspension cultures formed as the colonies grew out of the agarose. These cultures were embryogenic and formed green plantlets when plated on a solid medium lacking auxin. The plantlets were established in soil and grown to mature plants.Abbreviations B5

Summary The regeneration of lily protoplasts isolated from suspension cells of Lilium japonicum was achieved by using the nurse culture method. The protoplasts divided only under the nurse culture application. The divided
protoplasts grew into colonies and developed into visible calluses on a medium containing picloram. After the calluses were
transferred to a hormone-free medium, plantlets formed from them. The highest frequency of plant regeneration was obtained
on a medium containing 1 μM gibberellin 4 (GA4). The cleaved amplified polymorphie sequences (CAPS) method was used to confirm that the regenerants were not plants that
had escaped from nurse cells. We were able to transplant the plantlets to soil in pots without acclimatization, and they showed
normal growth. 相似文献

Increasing amounts of tetradecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride (TAC) were lethal to an increasing proportion of an actively growing culture of Escherichia coli. The loss of nucleic acid material by actively growing E. coli did not appear to play a major role in the lethal effect. It was found that lag-phase cells were more sensitive than logarithmic-phase cells to the lethal effect of TAC. The effect of TAC on the lysozyme sensitivity of the test organism was compared with that obtained using disodium dihydrogen ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). Although TAC was found to render the test organism susceptible to lysozyme, the degree of lysis never reached that attained with EDTA. 相似文献

An F + strain of E. coli K 12, W-2241 has a genetic constitution lac– (i+ z+ y–), str-r. The inability of this strain to utilize lactose is due to a deletion at the y locus controlling formation of an enzyme permease and therefore, a true lac+ revertant can not be expected. The strain, however, produces many colonies on minimal lactose agar medium, when it is plated after infection with RNA phage Qβ, while much fewer colonies are observed on the same medium seeded with uninfected cells. In analyzing this phenomenon, we discovered that these LAC+ colonies were not the result of a mechanism similar to transduction but produced by a mechanism related to phage liberation, and that the colonies originated from Qβ+, const cells. The data suggest the following working hypothesis for the mechanism by which LAC+ colonies are produced in a population of W-2241 cells infected with phage Qβ. Constitutive cells carrying Qβ produce intracellular β-galactosidase and at the stage of phage liberation, the enzyme is liberated into the medium, hydrolyzing lactose to form glucose. Since glucose could be utilized by all of the cells on the medium, the Qβ+, const cell acts as a colony forming center. The phenomenon described in this paper shows a new type of virus-host relationship which may have some bearing on the influence of animal or plant viruses on host tissues. 相似文献
