REACTIONS OF VALONIA AND OF HALICYSTIS TO COLLOIDS

From the results of these tests it is clear that both Halicystis and Valonia have a high degree of tolerance for animal peptone, and a very high degree of tolerance for animal proteose and for egg albumen. The products of bacterial growths fostered by these proteins have a deleterious effect upon both species of algae; but, if it were possible to prevent bacterial growth entirely and at the same time supply proper food, it is probable that Halicystis and Valonia would show normal growth indefinitely in the presence of these three colloids. This is not true where exposure is made to yeast nucleic acid dissolved in sea water containing 0.00093 gm. per cc. of NaOH. Valonia is markedly less tolerant of this medium (perhaps of NaOH rather than the colloid used) than Halicystis. Such differential effects, however, reach a high point in the case of the solutions of diphtheria toxin and of edestin. Halicystis has a very high tolerance for diphtheria toxin, and Valonia a very low tolerance. In the case of edestin, the relationship is reversed. Here Halicystis has a very low tolerance, and Valonia a very high tolerance. In fact, it may be said that diphtheria toxin has no appreciable effect upon Halicystis, and edestin a very slight effect upon Valonia; while diphtheria toxin is extremely toxic to Valonia, and edestin is extremely toxic to Halicystis. We can offer no suggestions, at present, as to the way in which these effects are produced. It is probable that the very thin protoplasmic layer of these species, which is certainly no thicker than 8µ, is sufficient to obstruct the passage of proteins having large molecules, like egg albumen, with a degree of efficiency that is extraordinary. In the tests we have reported, areas of from 20 sq. cm. to 40 sq. cm. have been submitted to the action of a relatively high concentration of egg albumen for several days without permitting the passage of sufficient amounts to give definable tests either with Spiegler''s or with Tanret''s method,— presumably less than 1 part in 250,000. In the tests of the proteins having much smaller molecules (though the size may not be the explanation), there is some probability that the membranes exhibit a little permeability. The peptone and the proteose of animal origin, or biuret-positive substances derived from them, apparently pass the protoplasmic membranes occasionally in quantities sufficient to give biuret tests. The most probable case of protein passage, however, was that of the proteose of the scarlet runner bean, where specific detection of less than 1 part per 80,000 was possible. In this instance the proteose appeared to pass membranes that were healthy and were functioning normally. But since the cells of the algae had to be destroyed in making the tests, one cannot maintain this point. All one can say is that protein passage was indicated in carefully examined cells of both species, where no breaks in the protoplasmic membrane were discernible, and where samples of the treated cells behaved normally after treatment.

CAPABILITY OF TUBULIN AND MICROTUBULES TO INCORPORATE AND TO RELEASE TYROSINE AND PHENYLALANINE AND THE EFFECT OF THE INCORPORATION OF THESE AMINO ACIDS ON TUBULIN ASSEMBLY

Abstract— Incorporation of [¹⁴C]tyrosine into the C-terminal position of α-tubulin of rat brain cytosol was 10-fold higher for non-assembled than for assembled tubulin. The incorporation into tubulin from disassembled microtubules was higher than into non-assembled tubulin; therefore, the low incorporation into microtubules was not due to a lower acceptor capacity of their tubulin constituent.
[¹⁴C]Tyrosine was released from assembled and non-assembled [¹⁴C]tyrosinated tubulin by the action of an endogenous carboxypeptidase. Release from non-assembled tubulin was shown by incubating a tubulinyl-[¹⁴C]tyrosine preparation in the presence of CaCl₂ at a concentration that abolished microtubule formation. Release from microtubules was inferred from the observation that the percentages of [¹⁴C]tyrosine released and the decrease of the specific radioactivity of the recovered microtubules were practically identical and did not change after a 10-fold dilution of the incubated microtubules.
[³H]Phenylalanine was released from a preparation of tubulinyl-[³H]phenylalanine also by an enzymatic activity.
The capacity of a tubulin preparation to incorporate tyrosine was increased 43% by pre-treatment with endogenous carboxypeptidase.
Tubulin tyrosinated in vitro was assembled to the same extent as native tubulin. After a mixture of tubulinyl-[¹⁴C]tyrosine and tubulinyl-[³H]phenylalanine was partially assembled, the ratio of ¹⁴C/³H found in the microtubules was the same as in the non-assembled tubulin fraction.     

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MORPHOLOGY OF LEPTOCHILUS AND PARALEPTOCHILUS

Nayar , B. K. (Natl. Bat. Gard., Lucknow, India.) Contributions to the morphology of Leptochilus and Paraleptochilus. Amer. Jour. Bot. 50(4): 301–308. lllus. 1963.—Morphology of L. axillaris and P. decurrens is described; L. axillaris is epiphytic, possessing a wide creeping, soft, parenchymatous rhizome, covered sparsely by peltate paleae, while P. decurrens is rupicaulous, with a short, brittle rhizome having slender sclerenchyma strands and densely covered by basally attached paleae. The vascular cylinder of the rhizome is dictyostelic and composed of a large number of closely placed, thick, vascular bundles with characteristic, thickened, endodermal cells in L. axillaris; it is dictyostelic and composed of a few, slender, distantly placed vascular strands in P. decurrens. Leaf traces are multiple strands which in P. decurrens originate in alternate succession from either side of the dorsal median vascular bundle of the rhizome, but in L. axillaris, from the lateral vascular bundles of the rhizome. The branch traces are paired strands which are lateral in the former and medianly placed in the latter. Scattered sclerenchyma strands occur in the stipe of P. decurrens. Paraphyses are absent in P. decurrens, but filamentous paraphyses occur in L. axillaris. The spores are bilateral and smooth-walled in both, and the prothalli are of the branched, ribbonlike type developing as in Colysis. Prothalli are naked in L. axillaris, but bear sparse mammillate marginal hairs in P. decurrens.     

小地老虎及粘虫幼虫对灭幼脲表现自然耐药力的体壁结构和生化基础

小地老虎Agrotis ypsilon rottem.幼虫对灭幼脲具有一定的自然耐药力。本文以粘虫Mythimna separata(Walker)作为敏感性虫种与之进行比较,实验结果表明,灭幼脲对两种试虫的室内毒力相差4倍左右,引起差异的原因,在体壁结构方面主要在于:(1)小地老虎幼虫的表皮层较粘虫的厚4.2倍左右;(2)上表皮不是匀质结构,依靠少数蜡道与体表沟通;(3)几丁质片层内的孔道数较少,仅及粘虫的1/4。由此构成了表皮对疏水性的灭幼脲表现抗穿透的性能。小地老虎幼虫体壁还含有较强的生化防卫体系,灭幼脲对多功能氧化酶、芳基酰胺酶有明显激活效应,这两种酶都是灭幼脲的降解酶。由此认为,小地老虎幼虫对灭幼脲所表现的自然耐药力,是由体壁的抗穿透性能以及由灭幼脲所激活的适应酶所造成。     

TOXICITY OF BISULFITE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION1

Inhabition of photosynthesis in Chloroccoum sp by bisulfileion was the reciprocal of the light intensity curve. Respiration was least affected of the bisulfite after endogenous substrate was reduced by incubation in darkness. Maximum areduction in growth occurred with bisulfile treatment at or above optimal growth temperatures. Maximum phytotoxicity correlated with conditions resulting in maximum metabolic activity. The order of toxicity was –H₂SO₃HSO₃^?SO₃.     

THE REACTIONS OF HALICYSTIS AND OF VALONIA TO INJECTIONS OF CERTAIN PROTEINS

It is shown (1) that Valonia and Halicystis cells exhibit varying degrees of tolerance to injections of animal peptone, animal proteose, crystallized egg albumen, and diphtheria toxin; (2) that Valonia cells display decreased tolerance to egg albumen in increasing dosages, although Halicystis is completely tolerant of the highest dosage used; (3) that the mortality curves of Valonia injected with egg albumen and of both Valonia and Halicystis injected with diphtheria toxin show the delayed effect characteristic of laboratory mammals when treated similarly; (4) that Valonia cells injected twice with egg albumen exhibit no change in susceptibility to its effects; and (5) that neither species of algae gives evidence of having formed antibodies against the antigens used.
