Azotobacter vinelandii cysts undergo conversion to vegetative cells in Burk's nitrogen-free medium utilizing glucose, sucrose, or acetate. In 1% glucose, this overall process was complete in 8 hr and consisted of a germination and an outgrowth phase. Respiration, ribonucleic acid, and protein synthesis began soon after the addition of the germinant, and these processes proceeded at rates characteristic of the germination. The rates of respiration and synthesis increased sharply between 4 and 5 hr, the beginning of the outgrowth, at which time deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and nitrogen fixation began. Respiration, macromolecular synthesis and nitrogen fixation continued at high rates until the emergence of vegetative cells from the cyst coats.  相似文献

Objectives

To ascertain the prevalence of pancreatic cysts detected incidentally on 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen and correlate this prevalence with patient age and gender; assess the number, location, and size of these lesions, as well as features suspicious for malignancy; and determine the prevalence of incidentally detected dilatation of the main pancreatic duct (MPD).

Methods

Retrospective analysis of 2,678 reports of patients who underwent abdominal MRI between January 2012 and June 2013. Patients with a known history of pancreatic conditions or surgery were excluded, and the remaining 2,583 reports were examined for the presence of pancreatic cysts, which was then correlated with patient age and gender. We also assessed whether cysts were solitary or multiple, as well as their location within the pancreatic parenchyma, size, and features suspicious for malignancy. Finally, we calculated the prevalence of incidental MPD dilatation, defined as MPD diameter ≥ 2.5 mm.

Results

Pancreatic cysts were detected incidentally in 9.3% of patients (239/2,583). The prevalence of pancreatic cysts increased significantly with age (p<0.0001). There were no significant differences in prevalence between men and women (p=0.588). Most cysts were multiple (57.3%), distributed diffusely throughout the pancreas (41.8%), and 5 mm or larger (81.6%). In 12.1% of cases, cysts exhibited features suspicious for malignancy. Overall, 2.7% of subjects exhibited incidental MPD dilatation.

Conclusions

In this sample, the prevalence of pancreatic cysts detected incidentally on 3T MRI of the abdomen was 9.3%. Prevalence increased with age and was not associated with gender. The majority of cysts were multiple, diffusely distributed through the pancreatic parenchyma, and ≥ 5 mm in size; 12.1% were suspicious for malignancy. An estimated 2.7% of subjects had a dilated MPD.  相似文献

This prospective study compares different clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with two types of sacral extradural spinal meningeal cysts (SESMC) undergoing different means of surgical excision. Using the relationship between the cysts and spinal nerve roots fibers (SNRF) as seen under microscope, SESMCs were divided into two types: cysts with SNRF known as Tarlov cysts and cysts without. The surgical methods were tailored to the different types of SESMCs. The improved Japanese Orthopedic Association (IJOA) scoring system was used to evaluate preoperative and postoperative neurological function of the patients. Preoperative IJOA scores were 18.5±1.73, and postoperative IJOA scores were 19.6±0.78. The difference between preoperative and postoperative IJOA scores was statistically significant (t = -4.52, p = 0.0001), with a significant improvement in neurological function after surgery. Among the improvements in neurological functions, the most significant was sensation (z=-2.74, p=0.006), followed by bowel/bladder function (z=-2.50, p=0.01). There was a statistically significant association between the types of SESMC and the number (F=12.57, p=0.001) and maximum diameter (F=8.08, p=0.006) of the cysts. SESMC with SNRF are often multiple and small, while cysts without SNRF tend to be solitary and large. We advocate early surgical intervention for symptomatic SESMCs in view of significant clinical improvement postoperatively.  相似文献

Aspects of the external morphology of Azotobacter vinelandii cells during encystment and germination processes were observed with scanning electron microscopy. Most of the vegetative cells have a smooth surface but some have warty surfaces. The intact cysts have wrinkled surfaces and occasional small heaves. Mucoid materials are present on the surface of the cysts. During the encystment process, an extensive peeling-off of coat materials was noted, then the excretion and aggregation of new capsular materials was immediately followed. The germination process was initiated by an expansion of the central body (the cell), then the emerging of this cell from the cyst coats was observed.  相似文献

Cysts of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) Balech 1992 from the lower St. Lawrence estuary were used in a test of the following hypotheses: (1) cyst germination is triggered by a change in temperature, and (2) germination rate varies throughout the year and is controlled by a circannual internal biological clock. Results show that cyst germination was not affected significantly by temperature of incubation over the range 1°–16° C, and light showed no significant stimulation of germination. This is supported by the lack of effect of cyst incubation conditions during evaluation of the seasonal changes in germination rate (two temperatures: 4° and 15° C, and two light conditions: darkness and 150 μmol photons·m?2·s?1). Thus, direct environmental control through short-term increases in temperature and exposure to light has no effect on the germination of the cysts tested. The rate of germination, observed monthly over a 16-month period, showed low germination (<20%) over most of the period tested, except for a maximum reaching more than 50% germination in August to October of the second year of the experiment. This pattern was observed for cysts both from monthly field collections and from laboratory-stored cysts kept under constant environmental conditions (4° C, in the dark). The peak in germination observed under constant environmental conditions (in the laboratory), the almost coincidental increase in cyst germination observed for the field-collected cysts, and the absence of effects of temperature and light during incubation could be explained either by a temperature-controlled cyst maturation period (the time-temperature hypothesis of Huber and Nipkow 1923) or by the presence of an internal biological clock. However, the large decline in the rate of germination 2 months after the maximum provides strong support for the biological clock hypothesis. The ca. 12-month maturation (dormancy) period observed for the laboratory-stored cysts is the longest reported for this species to our knowledge; this might be related to the low storage temperature (4° C), which is close to bottom temperatures generally encountered in this environment (0° to 6° C). Similar field and laboratory storage temperatures could explain the coincidental increase in germination rate in the fall of the second year if cyst maturation is controlled by temperature. A fraction of the laboratory-stored cysts did not follow a rhythmic pattern: A rather constant germination rate of about 20% was observed throughout the year. This continuous germination of likely mature cysts may supplement the local blooms of this toxic dinoflagellate, as these often occur earlier than peak germination observed in late summer. It seems that two cyst germination strategies are present in the St. Lawrence: continuous germination after cyst maturation, with temperature controlling the length of the maturation period, and germination controlled by a circannual internal rhythm.  相似文献

Simkania negevensis, a novel microorganism belonging to the family Simkaniaceae in the order Chlamydiales, has an intracellular developmental cycle during which two morphological entities, elementary bodies (EB) and reticulate bodies (RB), are seen by electron microscopy. Rates of seropositivity to the organism are high in certain population groups, and S. negevensis has been associated with respiratory illness in humans. This study reports for the first time the ability of S. negevensis to survive and grow inside Acanthamoeba polyphaga in addition to its known ability to grow in cell cultures of human or simian origin. Infectivity of S. negevensis and growth in amoebae were monitored by immunoperoxidase assays. Long-term persistence and exponential growth of S. negevensis in amoebal trophozoites were demonstrated by infectivity assays and by electron microscopy. EB and dividing RB of S. negevensis were observed within inclusion bodies inside A. polyphaga. When S. negevensis-infected A. polyphaga amoebae were exposed to adverse conditions resulting in encystation of the amoebae, several possible outcomes were observed: cysts containing both normal amoebic cytoplasm and S. negevensis; cysts in which S. negevensis cells were relegated to the space between cyst walls; and cysts containing S. negevensis, but apparently lacking amoebal cytoplasm. S. negevensis within dried amoebal cysts was capable of long-term survival. The possibility that amoebae may have a role in natural transmission of S. negevensis needs to be investigated.  相似文献

Morphology of the cyst of Giardia microti by light and electron microscopy   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Cysts of Giardia microti, isolated from feces and intestinal contents of Microtus ochrogaster, were examined by light and electron microscopy. These cysts differed morphologically from cysts of other G. duodenalis morphological types in that these cysts often contained two apparently differentiated trophozoites with mature ventral discs. Cysts more closely resembling those reported for G. lamblia and G. muris were in greater abundance in preparations made from intestinal contents and were interpreted as immature cysts. "Multiple fission" cysts, reported in G. muris and G. microti by earlier workers, were not observed; however, endosymbiotic bacteria were found in the cysts of G. microti and may have been responsible for reports of multiple fission in the cysts of Giardia.  相似文献

Characterization of the central body of theAzotobacter cyst   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Filar micrometer measurements of the central body during its conversion to the vegetative cell indicated an initial spherical body of about 1.7 microns in diameter. The central body first increases in diameter then elongates such that its length is 2–2.5 times the diameter. Central bodies supplemented with casein hydrolysate in addition to sucrose formed vegetative cells in only 8 hr instead of the usual 12. Central bodies were quite susceptible to lysis by EDTA-lysozyme or citrate-lysozyme, but relatively insensitive to citrate-EDTA or single employment of EDTA or citrate. Comparative electron microscopy of cysts and central bodies following sonication revealed little alteration in cysts but reduction of central bodies to cellular debris after only 2 min. Central bodies were resistant to bacteriophage adsorption at 0 hr and required about 4 hr incubation before adsorption could occur.This work was supported by U.S.Public Health Service grant AI-05551 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Morphology and Round Body Formation in Vibrio marinus   总被引:7,自引:3,他引:4       下载免费PDF全文
The morphology of Vibrio marinus MP-1 was studied by phase and electron microscopy. The ultrastructure of the vibrio form of V. marinus was found to be typically gram-negative with a trilaminar plasma membrane and cell wall. The coccoid or round bodies noted in otherwise pure cultures of V. marinus were frequently found in early and late stationary phase of growth. The round bodies in ultrathin section were found to contain at least one, and often three or four, cell units. Three types of round bodies were observed in ultrathin section, each differing in size and behavior: "spherules," "spheres" or the "round body," and "giant cells" or "macrospheres." The round bodies appeared to be associated with, or to result from, the constrictive cell division of V. marinus.  相似文献

The spinal perineurial cyst (Tarlov) is a dilatation between the perineurium and endoneurium of spinal nerve roots, located at level of the spinal ganglion and filled with cerebrospinal fluid but without communication with the perineurial subarachnoid space. The aim of the study was to evaluate it incidence among East-European patients. The retrospective data collected during various magnetic resonance spinal examinations and stored on the picture archiving and communication system was analyzed for an incidence of perineurial cysts. From among 842 patients that underwent examination, 75 cases perineurial cysts were revealed. In 22 cases single anomalies were found. In remaining 53 cases, multiple uni- or less frequently bilateral changes were noted. The most common position was the sacral canal, particularly the level of S2 and S3. Occasionally, cysts were also visible on the cervical, thoracic and lumbar level. Incidence of sacral perineurial cysts was significantly higher in females than in males. Similar data was found for single and multiple changes despite of their localization. Insignificant changes were seen for patient age and cyst size. Perineurial spinal cysts were the most frequently observed on the sacral level and such changes were more common in females.  相似文献

A comparative investigation of testicular eupyrene cysts (in larvae) and apyrene cysts (in pupae) of Ephestia kuehniella laboratory strains was conducted using light and electron microscopy. Eupyrene cysts in the first meiotic division contained 64 spermatocytes, which showed only moderate asynchrony. In one of the strains, a wild-type strain, L, normal-sized cysts occurred together with abnormally large cysts. These are called giant cysts in this article. One of the premeiotic cysts, early giant cysts, studied in detail, contained approximately a fourfold number of cells compared with the number in a eupyrene cyst of the same stage. In cysts harboring spermatocytes and spermatids, late giant cysts, cell differentiation was highly asynchronous. Failure in one of two control mechanisms in early cyst development may have caused the appearance of the cysts. Control of cell division might have been sloppy in apyrene spermatogonia. Hence, the spermatogonia within the cyst could have passed through additional division cycles. Alternatively, the giant cysts may have originated from more than one predefinitive gonial cell enclosed in a common envelope of sheath cells. As a third possibility, giant cysts could have arisen by fusion of normal cysts at a later stage. In either case, this is evidence that separation of eupyrene and apyrene pathways is earlier than was previously expected. In two other Ephestia strains, apyrene sperm development proceeded without formation of giant cysts. One was a mutant strain, a, and the other one was a recently established wild-type strain, Sbr. Apyrene sperm development is considered an example of degenerate evolution in which enhanced variability between species and even between populations of one species is a common phenomenon.  相似文献

Changes in ultrastructure of protein bodies in subaleurone cells of rice endosperm during germination were studied by transmission electron microscopy. The subaleurone cells contained two different types of protein bodies: PB-I (spherical) and PB-II (crystalline). Both types of protein bodies were deconstructed during germination. But there was a considerable difference in digestibility between PB-I and PB-II. PB-II which did not have a dense core was easily digested from the central portion when germination began. At 6 days of germination, PB-II was almost deconstructed. On the other hand, PB-I which displayed concentric rings with a dense core was digested from the outside after 3 days of germination. At 9 days of germination, many kernels of the spherical protein bodies remained.

Changes in subunit composition of protein bodies during germination were investigated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Protein body fractions were isolated from germinating grains at various stages by enzymatic digestion and two-phase system, then subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel. As germination proceeded, 15 (b1), 20 (d1), 24 (e), 35 (f1) and 37 (f3) kdaltons subunits decreased. On the other hand, 16 (b2), 21 (d2) and 36 (f2) k daltons subunits remained at the later stage of germination. We think that PB-I contains b2, d2 and f2 subunits and is attacked only from the outside at middle and later stages of germination by de novo protease. On the contrary, PB-II contains b1 d1 e, f1 and f3 subunits is utilized at an early stage of germination. PB-II may possibly contain latent protease. The breakdown process of PB-I was by exo-type digestion, on the contrary, that of PB-II was by endo-type digestion.  相似文献

The life cycle events of an unarmored dinoflagellate Gyrodinium instriatum Freudenthal et Lee has been investigated using clonal cultures. After the inoculation of vegetative cells into fresh medium, clumping of gametes was observed after a period of 10 days. In the clumps, a number of gametes were observed to be swimming in close contact with each other, pairing successively and then forming a plano-zygote. This clumping behavior is considered to be useful in the performance of sexual reproduction, particularly in the event of low cell density, because it increases the chance of fusion. Gametes of this species were most often isogarnous, although apparent amsogamous fusions were occasionally observed. When planozygotes were isolated and placed in fresh medium, they enlarged their size and finally divided into two cells. The daughter cells continued to multiply by binary fission and produced vegetative cells. Thus, G. instriatum has an alternative cycle between vegetative cells and zygotes without a hypnozygote stage. However, cysts of this species were transformed from large motile cells (pre-cyst cells) which are oblong and dorso-ventrally flattened in shape. These mottle pre-cyst cells have two longitudinal flagella, which may indicate that cysts of this species are of zygote origin. On the basis of these results, the relationship between zygotes and pre-cysts of G. instriatum is discussed. Excystment was enhanced by dark and cold treatments prior to the incubation for germination experiments with a germination success rate of 26–64%. Encystment was greatly inhibited by the lack of dark and cold treatments.  相似文献

Summary Mitotic division stages studied by light microscopy in differentNeurospora crassa cell types clearly resemble prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase stages of higher eukaryotes. 1. When conidia are cultured in liquid medium containing 3.22 M ethylene glycol, they grow without cell division, forming giant spheres with multiple nuclei. In a few giant cells, nuclear numbers remain small (1 to 3) but the nuclei become very large. Seven large chromosomes are seen in some nuclei suggesting polyteny, 14 or more chromosomes are seen in other, very large nuclei, indicating polyploidy. Cell volume and nuclear volume are positively correlated in giant cells. Nuclear divisions are not synchronous within individual multinucleate giant cells. 2. Nuclear division stages were also observed in crosses heterozygous for the dominant mutant banana where haploid prefusion nuclei in late-forming croziers revert to mitosis. Swollen ascogenous hyphae become highly multinucleate after several rounds of mitosis. Mitosis is completely synchronous in nuclei of the same crozier cyst, providing replicate information for unambiguous identification of division stage. 3. Observations are also reported of mitosis in a cell-wall deficient slime strain. Previous observations on mitosis in large nuclei of the ascus are summarized for comparison. The nucleolus persists throughout mitosis in the giant cells, multinucleate reverted croziers, and in the cell-wall deficient slime strain. It is expelled from the dividing nuclei in the ascus. Spindles and spindle pole bodies, which are normally conspicuous in asci, are also seen in normal and reverted croziers, but they have not been clearly identified in the ethylene glycol-induced giant cells.  相似文献
