Résumé Nous avons fait élever des larves d'Anergates atratulus par des ouvrières deMyrmica laevinodis à 22°C. Pour y parvenir, il n'est pas utile de faire hivernerensemble les larves d'Anergates et les ouvrières deMyrmica. La présence de larves autochtones n'empêche pas lesMyrmica d'élever des larves d'Anergates. Dans toutes les expériences lesMyrmica ont été soumises au fridavant de recevoir des larves d'Anergates. Aucune reine deMyrmica n'a été utilisée dans ces expériences.Sur les 64 larves d'Anergates que nous avons utilisées, 38 se sont transformées en imagos. C'est au début de l'adoption et au moment des métamorphoses que périrent la plupart des 26Anergates perdus. Les femelles vécurent en général 2 ou 3 jours et cherchèrent très tôt à quitter le nid natal. Les mâles vécurent 2 à 3 semaines.
Summary Larvae ofAnergates atratulus were experimentally reared by workers ofMyrmica laevinodis, at 22°C. An overwintering of both larvae ofAnergates and workers ofMyrmica is not necessary for the success of that experiment. The presence of larvae ofMyrmica does not keep theMyrmica from rearing larvae ofAnergates. The workers ofMyrmica have been cooled, in all the experiments, before receiving larvae ofAnergates. No queen ofMyrmica have been used in that experiments.38 of the 64 larvae ofAnergates used became imagos. Most of the 26 lostAnergates died at the beginning of the adoption and during the metamorphosis. The females lived generally 2 or 3 days and tried, very early, to leave their native nest. The males lived 2 or 3 weeks.

Summary The frequency of deletional -thalassemia in the Egyptian population was estimated at 0.08 by DNA analysis of a newborn random sample. No 0 determinants were found. The most frequent + determinant was the –3.7 type I in association with the medium allele at inter-zeta HVR. The –4.2 and anti 3.7 arrangements were found at very low frequencies. 相似文献

The genes were cloned for the two apoprotein subunits, and ,of phycocyanin from the cyanobacterium Spirulina maxima = Arthrospiramaxima) strain F3. The - and -subunit gene-coding regionscontain 489 bp and 519 bp, respectively. The -subunit gene is upstreamfrom the -subunit gene, with a 111-bp segment separating them.Similarities between the -subunits of S. maxima and nine othercyanobacteria were between 58% and 99%, as were those between the -subunits. The maximum similarity between the - and -subunits from S. maxima was 27%. 相似文献

Conservation status of parrot populations in an Atlantic rainforest area of southeastern Brazil 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A census of four species of syntopic parrots was carried out using distance sampling methods on São Sebastião island, SE Brazil. Most of the 33593 ha island is covered by mature and secondary Atlantic rainforest. Almost 80% of these forests are within the Ilhabela Park. Although the species counted have marked differences in size and weight, density (individuals/km2) and estimated population size in 23500 ha of well-preserved forests were similar: Amazona farinosa (13.82±5.94; 3247±1395), Pionus maximiliani (15.79±7.04; 3712±1654), Brotogeris tirica (15.05±4.87; 3537±1143) and Pyrrhura frontalis (13.06±5.53; 3068±1298). Encounter rates of Forpus crassirostris and Pionopsitta pileata were very low, which suggests that there is only a small population of these species on the island. The São Sebastião forests still support healthy populations of parrots. Although woodpecker population estimates on the island are large enough to provide nesting sites for parrots, competition for holes with other secondary cavity nesters such as toucans, flycatchers and tytiras, and the selective cutting of dead trees for canoe construction, which is a common practice on the island, may limit hole availability for parrots. 相似文献

In the present report, we used serological, cellular, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to investigate the DR1 haplotype in the Israeli population. We describe an Israeli homozygous typing cell (HTC), HLA-DwLVA, which defines a new lymphocyte-activating determinant associated with Bw65, DR1 and distinct from Dwl. The parents of this donor, non-Ashkenazi Algerian Jews, are first cousins and share HLA-Cw8, Bw65, BfS, DR1, DQw1, DPw4. No specificity could be assigned to HLA-DwLVA using the 91 Ninth Workshop HTCs. Two families and forty unrelated DR1 individuals were studied with DwLVA and a panel of DR1/Dw1 HTCs. HLA-DwLVA showed segregation as a single determinant within families. This new specificity was present in 24 out of 40 (60%) unrelated DR1 individuals, indicating that in the Israeli population DwLVA is the main lymphocyte-defined determinant associated with the serologically defined DRI specificity, in contrast to non-Jewish Caucasoids where DR1 is significantly associated with Dw1. The vast majority of DwLVA-positive carriers were also Bw65 carriers, indicating that Bw65, DR1, DwLVA may represent a typical allele combination in the Israeli population. The RFLP analysis established the correlation of certain RFLPs with Dw1 and DwLVA. In addition, we describe a cluster of RFLPs that may correspond to a new Dw subtype associated with DR1, for which no serological and cellular reagents have been described so far. 相似文献

EF-1a binds aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome with the hydrolysis of GTP; the complex facilitates the exchange of GDP for GTP to initiate another round of elongation. To examine the subunit structure of EF-1 and phosphorylation by protein kinase CKII, recombinant , , and subunits from rabbit were expressed in E. coli and the subunits were reconstituted into partial and complete complexes and analyzed by gel filtration. To determine the availability of the and subunits for phosphorylation by CKII, the subunits and the reconstituted complexes were examined as substrates for CKII. Formation of the nucleotide exchange complex increased the rate of phosphorylation of the subunit and reduced the Km, while addition of to or the complex inhibited phosphorylation by CKII. However, a had little effect on phosphorylation of . Thus, the and subunits in EF-1 were differentially phosphorylated by CKII, in that phosphorylation of was altered by association with other subunits, while the site on was always available for phosphorylation by CKII. From the availability of the subunits for phosphorylation by CKII and the composition of the reconstituted partial and complete complexes, a model for the subunit structure of EF-1 consisting of (22)2 is proposed and discussed. 相似文献

Summary A sensitive photometric method is described by which the dichroism of lipid bilayer membranes in aqueous phase can be measured. The method is applied to black films with incorporated chlorophylla andb. With chlorophylla a relatively large dichroism is found in the Soret band and a much weaker dichroism in the red band. From the experimental data, the angles

Six tetrasaccharide fractions were isolated from shark cartilage chondroitin sulfate D by gel filtration chromatography followed by HPLC on an amine-bound silica column after exhaustive digestion with testicular hyaluronidase. Their structures were determined unambiguously by one- and two-dimensional 500 MHz1H NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with HPLC analysis of chondroitinase AC-II digests of the tetrasaccharides. One fraction was found to contain two tetrasaccharide components. All the seven tetrasaccharides shared the common core structure GlcA1-3GalNAc1-4GlcA1-3GalNAc with various sulfation profiles. Four were disulfated comprising of two monosulfated disaccharide units GlcA1-3GalNAc(4-sulfate) and/or GlcA1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate), whereas the other three were hitherto unreported trisulfated tetrasaccharides containing a disulfated disaccharide unit GlcA(2-sulfate)1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate) and a monosulfated disaccharide unit GlcA1-3GalNAc(4-or 6-sulfate). These sulfated tetrasaccharides were demonstrated to serve as appropriate acceptor substrates for serum -N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, indicating their usefulness as authentic oligosaccharide substrates or probes for the glycobiology of sulfated glycosaminoglycans.Abbreviations NFU

Summary Few clinical responses have occurred in preliminary studies using the cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or interferon (IFN) in cancer patients. This may be related to the observation that many malignant cell lines are resistant to lysis by these cytokinesin vitro. Resistance to lysis by TNF or IFN in many cells is controlled by a protein-synthesis-dependent mechanism, such that when protein synthesis is inhibited cells become sensitive to lysis by these cytokines. Because there is some evidence that TNF and IFN act through different lytic mechanisms and are opposed by different resistance mechanisms, we treated a panel of eight cell lines, five derived from human cervical carcinomas (ME-180, MS751, SiHa, HT-3, and C-33A) and three derived from ovarian carcinomas (Caov-3, SK-OV-3, and NIH: OVCAR-3) with both TNF and IFN to determine whether such combination treatment might maximizein vitro cell lysis. Our results showed that pretreatment with IFN followed by exposure to TNF in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitors increased lysis of seven of the eight cell lines above that seen with either TNF or IFN and inhibitors of protein synthesis. Only the cell line C-33A was resistant to lysis by TNF and IFN, when exposed to these agents both alone and in combination with protein synthesis inhibitors. Clinically, combining the cytokines TNF and IFN with protein synthesis inhibitors may maximize thein vivo lytic effects of these cytokines.Supported by American Cancer Society Career Development Award 90-221 相似文献

Callus development in Callistemon viminalis was readily achieved when axillary buds derived from nodal tissue were placed in a medium containing macro- and micro-nutrients, sucrose (0.06 M), inositol (300 M), nicotinic acid (20 M), pyridoxine hydrochloride (3 M), thiamine hydrochloride (2 M), riboflavin (10 M), cytokinins (5 M) and auxins (0.1 M). The presence of benzylaminopurine (5 M) and p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (0.1 M) promoted the most vigorous callus development and sprout formation. Rooting of nodal material was rare but occurred readily following the transference of sprouts developed on callus to a basal medium containing sucrose and salts. Root initiation was stimulated, however, by the presence of auxins. Chlorophenoxyacetic acid while stimulating root initiation repressed root growth. Indole butyric acid stimulated both root initiation and shoot growth at concentrations of 0.005 to 0.1 M. The treatment of choice for rooting and shoot growth was the addition of indole butyric acid at a concentration of 0.01 M. 相似文献

We have analyzed the hemoglobins of five individual trout from the Ohrid Lake (Salmo L. typicus) by electrophoretic methods, by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, and by limited structural analyses. The two major classes of hemoglobin are type I (35% of total) and type IV (65%). Type IV is the major oxygen-transporting hemoglobin; it consists of three types of chain (in about equal quantities) and three types of chain (one major and two minor types). Several structural differences have been observed between these three (IV) chains and between the three (IV) chains, suggesting a complex genetic system governing the synthesis of these proteins. Moreover, a few amino acid substitutions occur at positions involved in contacts between chains, which suggests that differences in oxygen affinity may exist between these various type IV hemoglobins. Type I hemoglobin is less complex because it contains one type of chain and two chains; the latter two differ in numerous positions, suggesting duplications of the (I)-globin gene. The and chains of type I hemoglobin differ considerably from the and chains of type IV hemoglobin, indicating the existence of (I)- and (I)-globin genes separate from the (IV)- and (IV)- globin genes.This study was supported in part by the Yugoslav-American Joint Funds, pp 812 (to G.D.E.), and by United States Public Health Service Research Grant HLB-05168 (to T.H.J.H.). 相似文献

Agricultural development projects in the fertile and most well-watered areas of arid and semiarid Africa usually deny access to nomadic pastoralists whose production system and livelihood depend upon such areas in the dry season and during frequent droughts. The result can be degradation of range resources through overgrazing, and greater vulnerability of pastoralists. Recent calls for compatible land use schemes or nonexclusionary agricultural development projects in the context of pastoralist transhumance, suggest allowing pastoralists structured access to project sites in the dry season in order to utilize forage and water supplies. This paper examines the capacity of an irrigation scheme to support the seasonal influx of transhumant livestock in dry seasons of varying severity. The livestock carrying capacity of the existing mosaic of land use patterns and practices is used in the determination of the proportional areas of land use needed to absorb large seasonal concentrations of livestock. 相似文献

Summary The taste buds of the circumvallate papillae have been examined by electron microscopy in OsO4-fixed, PTA stained material or after KMnO4 fixation. The microvilli of the receptor cells have terminal dilatations which presumably give an increased surface area for transduction. The extracellular spaces at the necks of the receptor cells near the bases of the microvilli are interrupted by closed contacts.The synapses have a well defined synaptic cleft suggesting a chemical rather than an electrical mode of transmission. Synaptic membrane specialisations differ from the membrane thickenings of other types of synapse. Presynaptic dense projections are present but there is no well define postsynaptic thickening. Vesicles occur in both pre- and postsynaptic components, but it is debatable whether or not they should be termed synaptic vesicles.

Nitrogenase activity in the obligate methaneoxidizing bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) was added ammonia. This observation was extended to include other ammonia. This observation was extended to include other representative N2-fixing species of methanotrophs. The ammonia switch-off of nitrogenase in M. capsulatus (Bath) was reversed on washing cells to remove excess ammonia, in the presence of chloramphenicol, suggesting that a form of covalent modification of nitrogenase may occur. Replacing the oxidizable substrate methanol with formaldehyde, formate, ethanol or hydrogen had no effect on nitrogenase switch-off. A number of potential nitrogen sources or intermediates of nitrogen metabolism such as glutamine, asparagine, glutamate and alanine when tested, did not effect switch-off. However, the rapid inhibition of nitrogenase activity of M. capsulatus (Bath) could be achieved by adding the uncoupler carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone or nitrite. The glutamine synthetase inhibitor methionine sulphoximine blocked the switch-off effect of ammonia, indicating that the metabolism of ammonia may be essential for switch-off to occur. Inhibitors of glutamate synthase did not alleviate the ammonia switch-off response. Methionine sulphoximine did not alleviate the rapid inhibition of nitrogenase by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone indicating that the shortterm regulation of nitrogenase by uncouplers and ammonia proceed via different mechanisms.Abbreviations MSX

An experiment is described which shows in operation the program set out in Foster (1972a) for the investigation of the invariance transformations of visual recognition. The concern in the present study is with the Lie group of rotations SO(2), and a certain centrally located foveal Landolt ring. By presenting to the visual system this Landolt ring and a rotated image in rapid succession, one attempted to induce a specified rotation-type phi-motion. Two subjects were employed. Both reported the existence of the required type of phi-motion for rotations 0 of the Landolt ring about the visual axis with -2/72/7. By appealing to the basic Proposition 2 of Foster (1972 a), the conclusion is reached that the visual system appears capable of effecting upon a certain centrally located foveal annulus the local 1-parameter group of rotations about the visual axis 0, [–2/7,2/7]. 相似文献

A bloom in the water of Amursky Bay (Sea of Japan) caused by the dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina Dujardin, 1841 was recorded for the first time. The highest density of this species in the bloom area was 443.3 million cells/liter. The abundant development of microalga was observed from July to September 2002 at a water temperature of 17–24.5°C and a salinity of 7–18. Changes in the density of O. marina and other species of phytoplankton during the bloom period are analyzed. Possible reasons for the blooms of O. marina in Amursky Bay are discussed. 相似文献

Lipase modified with polyethylene glycol became soluble and active in organic solvents, and catalyzed regioselective deacetylation of peracetylated monosaccharide derivatives in 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The deacetylation occurred only at the positions of C-4 and C-6 of the glycopyranoside ring. Especially, peracetylated methyl -D-xylopyranoside and peracetylated L-serine--D-xylopyranoside were hydrolyzed only at the position of C-4. Subsequently, one of the resulting products, that is L-serine-2,3-di-O-acetyl--D-xylopyranoside, was coupled with galactose residue to obtain L-serine-4-O-(-D-galactopyranosyl)--D-xylopyranoside, a model compound of the carbohydrate-protein linkage region of proteoglycans. 相似文献

Summary The expression of the monocyte membrane glycoprotein CD14 was measured and related to the serum interferon (IFN) concentration in thirteen patients with disseminated cancer during treatment with human recombinant interferon (rIFN). The drug was administered by continuous subcutaneous infusion using an escalating dose schedule, starting at 50 µg/day or 100 µg/day and increasing weekly up to 600 µg/day, if tolerated. Treatment was continued at a mean maximal tolerated dose of 200 µg/day for a median duration of 43 days. Serum IFN concentration and monocyte CD14 antigen expression (immunofluorescence with the monoclonal antibody LeuM3 and fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis) were determined weekly. The serum IFN concentration was positively correlated with the rIFN dose (P <0.05). Therapy induced a dose-dependant enhancement of CD14 antigen expression. The increase in mean CD14 fluorescence intensity was on average 60% after 3 weeks of treatment at a mean dose of 220 µg rIFN/day and was reversed after withdrawal of therapy. Patients with a rapidly rising serum IFN concentration (starting dose 100 µg/day) showed a smaller increment in CD14 fluorescence intensity than those with slowly rising serum IFN levels (starting dose 50 µg/day). Since rIFN is known to down-regulate CD14 antigen expression in vitro, monocytes from patients off therapy and from healthy volunteers were cultured with this cytokine. A similar decrease of CD14 fluorescence was observed in both groups. In patients several factors, such as IFN concentration, duration of drug effect and type of serum, were evaluated and could not explain the discrepant in vivo and in vitro findings. In conclusion, the monocyte marker CD14 was found to be differentially regulated by rIFN in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, secondary mediators, induced by rIFN and acting on a constantly renewed cell population, may contribute to the enhanced CD14 expression. 相似文献

A 20–40 m pellicular high density (3.7 g cm–3) expanded bed material has been designed for the capture of DNA and other large macromolecules. Anion exchangers fashioned out of these supports exhibited dramatically enhanced DNA binding capacities over commercial anion exchange adsorbents (6 mg ml–1, c.f. 50 g ml–1 at 10% breakthrough), due to a combination of small particle and fuzzy surface architecture created through the coupling of polyethylene imine chains. 相似文献
