rDNA magnification in D. melanogaster: state of rDNA copies following the first step.

Summary D. melanogaster males of bb/O genetic constitution undergoing rDNA magnification were mated singly to XXbb ⁺/O females, yielding bb/O male progeny, and to X_NO-w sn bb ⁺ fameles, yielding bb/X_NO- females. The male and female offspring were scored for the bb ⁺ phenotype.Results show that there is a higher percentage of bb ⁺ flies in the bb/O male progeny than in bb/X_NO- females progeny, in single crosses as well as in the combined data. rRNA/DNA hybridization experiments agree with this observation, by showing that the rDNA content in the progeny of premagnified flies was higher in the sons than in the daughters.These data indicate that the increase of ribosomal RNA genes is not due to a stable event such as an unequal mitotic sister exchange, whereas they do not contrast with the extracopy model.     

Compensatory changes in Photosystem II electron turnover rates protect photosynthesis from photoinhibition

Exposure of algae or higher plants to bright light can result in a photoinhibitory reduction in the number of functional PS II reaction centers (n) and a consequential decrease in the maximum quantum yield of photosynthesis. However, we found that light-saturated photosynthetic rates (P_max) in natural phytoplankton assemblages sampled from the south Pacific ocean were not reduced despite photoinhibitory decreases in n of up to 52%. This striking insensitivity of P_max to photoinhibition resulted from reciprocal increases in electron turnover ( )through the remaining functional PS II centers. Similar insensitivity of P_max was also observed in low light adapted cultures of Thalassiosira weissflogii (a marine diatom), but not in high light adapted cells where P_max decreased in proportion to n. This differential sensitivity to decreases in n occurred because was close to the maximum achievable rate in the high light adapted cells, whereas was initially low in the low light adapted cells and could thus increase in response to decreases in n. Our results indicate that decreases in plant productivity are not necessarily commensurate with photoinhibition, but rather will only occur if decreases in n are sufficient to maximize or incident irradiance becomes subsaturating.     

The Influence of Hydroregime on Catch, Abundance And Recruitment of the Catfish, Chrysichthys Nigrodigitatus (Bagridae) and the Bonga, Ethmalosa Fimbriata (Clupeidae) of Southeastern Nigeria's Inshore Waters

This paper investigates the relationship between the hydroclimatic parameters (rainfall and flood index) and the catch, stock abundance and recruitment of the catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (Bagridae) and the bonga, Ethmalosa fimbriata (Clupeidae) of southeastern Nigeria's inshore waters. For C. nigrodigitatus, most peaks in the mean biomass and recruitment curves occurred during the 'wet' years, i.e., years for which the percentage deviations of rainfall and flood index from their means remained above their averages. Catch and abundance respectively showed good positive linear correlation with the flood index. E. fimbriata behaved differently; some peaks in the and curves occurred in the 'wet' and some in the 'dry' years; and there was no correlation between the annual catch of bonga and either the rainfall or the flood index. The hypothesis, that linear relationships exist between the interannual variations in the hydroregime and the yearly fluctuations in the catch and population structure of some coastal and estuarine fishes, holds true for the catfish, C. nigrodigitatus, but not for bonga, E. fimbriata.     

Water economy in bird nests

Summary Nest humidity ( ) under an incubating bantam hen was measured at ambient ranging from 1.3 to 25.0 mmHg. Weight loss of eggs was recorded in clutches of varying size. Nest and ambient were also measured in wild incubating willow ptarmigan nests in dry and wet habitats.Nest increased linearly with ambient in a way predictable on the assumption that the water vapour conductance ( ) of brood patch skin, plumage and eggs were constant and independent of ambient . Nest was also dependent of clutch size. Egg dehydration was quantitatively predicted from measured values and the laws of diffusion.Our findings confirm earlier conclusions that the adult bird does not actively regulate nest at varying ambient . Birds can presumably achieve appropriate egg dehydration by a strategy combining nest site, nest construction, egg shell conductance and incubation behaviour which meets the requirements of their breeding climate.Abbreviations water vapur pressure - water vapur conductance - water flux     

Functional diversity and community structure of microorganisms in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere Canadian arctic soils

Functional diversities of microorganisms in arctic soil samples at three incubation temperatures were assessed using sole-carbon-source-utilization (SCSU). Soil samples from four sites were collected from the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils. Microorganisms were extracted from samples and inoculated into ECO-Biolog plates and incubated at 4, 10 and 28 °C. Calculations of Shannon–Weaver diversity and Shannon–Weaver evenness were based on the substrate utilization in the Biolog plates. Shannon–Weaver diversities (H) in rhizosphere samples were significantly greater ( _H = 3.023 ± 0.197; P < 0.005) than in non-rhizosphere samples ( _H = 2.770 ± 0.154). Similarly, the evenness (E) of the inoculated microbial cells exhibited significant differences (P < 0.005) between the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil samples ( _E = 0.880 ± 0.057 for soils with rhizosphere; _E = 0.807 ± 0.044 for non-rhizosphere samples). Higher microbial diversity and evenness were observed in samples incubated at 4 °C than at 28 °C [least significant difference (lsd) = 0.29], and evenness indices were higher in rhizosphere samples than in non-rhizosphere soils incubated at all three temperatures (lsd = 0.02). Principal component analysis (PCA) of the multivariate data set differentiated the soil samples on the relatively gross scale of microbial communities isolated from rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils at all three temperatures.     

Dynamics of cardiorespiratory function in Standardbred horses during different intensities of constant-load exercise

Summary Six Standardbred horses were used to evaluate the time course of pulmonary gas exchange, ventilation, heart rate (HR) and acid base balance during different intensities of constant-load treadmill exercise. Horses were exercised at approximately 50%, 75% and 100% maximum oxygen uptake ( max) for 5 min and measurements taken every 30 s throughout exercise. At all work rates, the minute ventilation, respiratory frequency and tidal volume reached steady state values by 60 s of exercise. At 100% max, the oxygen consumption ( ) increased to mean values of approximately 130 ml/kg·min, which represents a 40-fold increase above resting . At the low and moderate work rates, showed no significant change from 30 s to 300 s of exercise. At the high work rate, the mean at 30 s was 80% of the value at 300 s. The HR showed no significant change over time at the moderate work rate but differing responses at the low and high work rates. At the low work rate, the mean HR decreased from 188 beats/min at 30 s to 172 beats/min at 300 s exercise, whereas at the high work rate the mean HR increased from 204 beats/min at 30 s to 221 beats/min at 300 s exercise. No changes in acid base status occurred during exercise at the low work rate. At the moderate work rate, a mild metabolic acidosis occurred which was nonprogressive with time, whereas the high work rate resulted in a progressive metabolic acidosis with a base deficit of 16 mmol/l by 300 s exercise. It is concluded that the kinetics of gas exchange during exercise are more rapid in the horse than in man, despite the relatively greater change in in the horse when going from rest to high intensity exercise.Symbols and abbreviations E minute ventilation - V _T tidal volume - oxygen uptake - carbon dioxide output - oxygen pulse - ventilatory equivalent for oxygen - ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide - R respiratory exchange ratio - HR heart rate - SBC standard bicarbonate - STPD standard temperature and pressure dry - BTPS body temperature and pressure saturated - arterial oxygen content - arteriovenous oxygen content difference - Rf respiratory frequency     

The regulation of K+ influx in excised barley roots

The electrochemical potential differences for potassium, between excised barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots and external media containing 0.05 mM KCl+0.5 mM CaSO₄, were determined over a 4-h period during which initially low-K⁺ roots accumulated K⁺ by pretreatment in 50 mM KCl plus 0.5 mM CaCl₂. This pretreatment resulted in increased internal [K⁺], decreased K⁺ influx (as measured from 0.05 mM KCl+0.5 mM CaSO₄) and decreased values of . These observations indicate that the decline of K⁺ influx associated with increased internal K⁺ concentration cannot be accounted for by passive adjustment to the electrochemical gradient for this ion.     

An evolutionary analytical model of a complementary circular code simulating the protein coding genes, the 5′ and 3′ regions

The self-complementary subset ∪{AAA,TTT} with = {AAC, AAT, ACC, ATC, ATT, CAG, CTC, CTG, GAA, GAC, GAG, GAT, GCC, GGC, GGT, GTA, GTC, GTT, TAC, TTC} of 22 trinucleotides has a preferential occurrence in the frame 0 (reading frame established by the ATG start trinucleotide) of protein (coding) genes of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The subsets ∪{CCC} and ∪{GGG} of 21 trinucleotides have a preferential occurrence in the shifted frames 1 and 2 respectively (frame 0 shifted by one and two nucleotides respectively in the 5′-3′ direction). and are complementary to each other. The subset contains the subset which has the rarity property (6 × 10⁻⁸) to be a complementary maximal circular code with two permutated maximal circular codes and in the frames 1 and 2 respectively. is called a C³ code. A quantitative study of these three subsets in the three frames 0, 1, 2 of protein genes, and the 5′ and 3′ regions of eukaryotes, shows that their occurrence frequencies are constant functions of the trinucleotide positions in the sequences. The frequencies of in the frame 0 of protein genes are 49, 28.5 and 22.5% respectively. In contrast, the frequencies of in the 5′ and 3′ regions of eukaryotes, are independent of the frame. Indeed, the frequency of in the three frames of 5′ (respectively 3′) regions is equal to 35.5% (respectively 38%) and is greater than the frequencies and , both equal to 32.25% (respectively 31%) in the three frames. Several frequency asymmetries unexpectedly observed (e.g. the frequency difference between and in the frame 0), are related to a new property of the subset involving substitutions. An evolutionary analytical model at three parameters (p, q, t) based on an independent mixing of the 22 codons (trinucleotides in frame 0) of with equiprobability (1/22) followed by t ≈ 4 substitutions per codon according to the proportions p ≈ 0.1; q ≈ 0.1 and r = 1 − p − q ≈ 0.8 in the three codon sites respectively, retrieves the frequencies of observed in the three frames of protein genes and explains these asymmetries. Furthermore, the same model (0.1, 0.1, t) after t ≈ 22 substitutions per codon, retrieves the statistical properties observed in the three frames of the 5′ and 3′ regions. The complex behaviour of these analytical curves is totally unexpected and a priori difficult to imagine.     

Retention of NO_3^ - in an upland streamenvironment: A mass balance approach

Models of the effects of atmosphericN deposition in forested watersheds have notadequately accounted for the effects of aquatic andnear-stream processes on the concentrations and loadsof NO in surface waters. This studycompared the relative effects of aquatic andnear-stream processes with those from the terrestrialecosystem on the retention and transport ofNO in two contrasting stream reaches ofthe Neversink River, a forested watershed in theCatskill Mountains of New York that receives among thehighest load of atmospheric N deposition in thenortheastern United States. Stream water samples werecollected every two hours and ground-water andtributary samples were collected daily at base flowconditions during four 48-hour periods from April toOctober 1992, and NO mass balances werecalculated for each site. Results indicated diurnalvariations in stream NO concentrations inboth reaches during all four sampling periods; this isconsistent with uptake of NO byphotoautotrophs during daylight hours. Mass-balanceresults revealed significant stream reach losses ofNO at both sites during all samplingperiods. The diurnal variations in NO concentrations and the retention of NO relative to terrestrial contributions to the streamreaches were greater downstream than upstream becausephysical factors such as the head gradients ofinflowing ground water and the organic matter contentof sediment are more favorable to uptake anddenitrification downstream. The mass retention ofNO increased as the mean 48-hr streamdischarge increased at each site, indicating that theresponsible processes are dependent onNO supply. Low stream temperatures duringthe April sampling period, however, probably reducedthe rate of retention processes, resulting in smallerlosses of NO than predicted from streamdischarge alone. Water samples collected from thestream, the hyporheic zone, and the alluvial groundwater at sites in both reaches indicated that the neteffect of hyporheic processes on downstreamNO transport ranged from conservativemixing to complete removal by denitrification. Therelative effects of biological uptake anddenitrification as retention mechanisms could not bequantified, but the results indicate that bothprocesses are significant. These results generallyconfirm that aquatic and near-stream processes causesignificant losses of NO in the NeversinkRiver, and that the losses by these processes atdownstream locations can exceed the NO contributions to the stream from the terrestrialenvironment during summer and fall base-flowconditions. Failure to consider these aquatic andnear-stream processes in models of watershed responseto atmospheric N deposition could result inunderestimates of the amount of NO leaching from forested ecosystems and to an inabilityto unequivocally relate geographic differences inNO concentrations of stream waters tocorresponding differences in terrestrial processes.     

The effects of temperature and exercise training on swimming performance in juvenile qingbo (Spinibarbus sinensis)

To investigate the effects of temperature and exercise training on swimming performance in juvenile qingbo (Spinibarbus sinensis), we measured the following: (1) the resting oxygen consumption rate $ \left( {{\dot{\text{M}}\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{rest}}}} } \right) $ , critical swimming speed (U _crit) and active oxygen consumption rate $ \left( {{\dot{\text{M}}\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} } \right) $ of fish at acclimation temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C and (2) the $ \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{rest}}}} $ , U _crit and $ \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} $ of both exercise-trained (exhaustive chasing training for 14 days) and control fish at both low and high acclimation temperatures (15 and 25 °C). The relationship between U _crit and temperature (T) approximately followed a bell-shaped curve as temperature increased: U _crit = 8.21/{1 + [(T ? 27.2)/17.0]²} (R ² = 0.915, P < 0.001, N = 40). The optimal temperature for maximal U _crit (8.21 BL s^?1) in juvenile qingbo was 27.2 °C. Both the $ \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} $ and the metabolic scope (MS, $ \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} - \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{rest}}}} $ ) of qingbo increased with temperature from 10 to 25 °C (P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences between fish acclimated to 25 and 30 °C. The relationships between $ \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} $ or MS and temperature were described as $ {\dot{\text{M}}\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} = 1,214.29/\left\{ {1 + \left[ {\left( {T - 28.8} \right)/10.6} \right]^{2} } \right\}\;\left( {R^{2} = 0.911,\;P < 0.001,\;N = 40} \right) $ and MS = 972.67/{1 + [(T ? 28.0)/9.34]²} (R ² = 0.878, P < 0.001, N = 40). The optimal temperatures for $ \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} $ and MS in juvenile qingbo were 28.8 and 28.0 °C, respectively. Exercise training resulted in significant increases in both U _crit and $ \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} $ at a low temperature (P < 0.05), but training exhibited no significant effect on either U _crit or $ \dot{M}{\text{O}}_{{ 2 {\text{active}}}} $ at a high temperature. These results suggest that exercise training had different effects on swimming performance at different temperatures. These differences may be related to changes in aerobic metabolic capability, arterial oxygen delivery, available dissolved oxygen, imbalances in ion fluxes and stimuli to remodel tissues with changes in temperature.     

Gill function in an elasmobranch

Summary Highly efficient oxygen uptake in elasmobranchs, as indicated by frequent excess of over has previously been ascribed to the operation of multicapillary rather than counter-current gas exchange by the gills. Analysis of models shows that, at maximum efficiency, a multicapillary system cannot account for values of greater than . In Port Jackson sharks Heterodontus portusjacksoni) commonly exceeds , which indicates the operation of a functional counter-current at the respiratory surface. The anatomical basis of this counter-current is provided by the demonstration that a continuous flow of water passes between the secondary lamellae into septal canals and thence via the parabranchial cavities to the exterior.Queen Elizabeth II Fellow.     

Modelling the dynamics of West Nile Virus

In this work we formulate and analyze a mathematical model for the transmission of West Nile Virus (WNV) infection between vector (mosquito) and avian population. We find the Basic Reproductive Number in terms of measurable epidemiological and demographic parameters. is the threshold condition that determines the dynamics of WNV infection: if the disease fades out, and for the disease remains endemic. Using experimental and field data we estimate for several species of birds. Numerical simulations of the temporal course of the infected bird proportion show damped oscillations approaching the endemic value.     

Kinetic Modeling of Energy Metabolism and Superoxide Generation in Hepatocyte Mitochondria

Direct nonenzymatic oxidation of semiquinone by oxygen is one of the main sources of superoxide radicals in mitochondria. Using all the known data on hepatocyte mitochondria, we have revealed the correlation between the rate of superoxide generation by the bc ₁complex and the transmembrane potential (). Assuming that the main electrogenic stage of the Qcycle is the electron transfer between the cytochrome bhemes, then the rate of superoxide generation sharply increases when grows from 150 to 180 mV. However, this interrelation is ambiguous. Indeed, the increase of the generation rate with the growth of the potential can occur faster when succinate dehydrogenase is inhibited by malonate than when external ADP is exhausted. When the potential is changed by adding phosphate or potassium (K⁺), the rate of production remains constant, although the comparison of the rates at the same reveals the effect of phosphate or potassium. It turned out that the rate of generation is a function of rather than any of its components. Phosphate and K⁺have practically no influence on , since the change in is compensated by pH. The rate of superoxide generation by the bc ₁complex is a multiple function of the electron-transfer activity of enzymes, the processes determining the membrane potential (e.g., loading), and the oxygen concentration. The kinetic model proposed in this work may serve to understand how the superoxide production is regulated.     

Varroa destructor reproduction during the winter in Apis mellifera colonies in UK

The reproductive behaviour of female Varroa destructor mites invading worker brood cells during the winter months (January to mid-March) was investigated in four Apis mellifera colonies in UK. The number of viable offspring produced during a reproductive cycle, per mite, was only 0.5 during winter compared with 1.0 during the summer. This was mainly due to a large increase in the population of non-reproductive mites (winter 20%, summer 8%). This increase can be explained by the high level of male offspring mortality observed in winter (42% vs. 18% in summer), which results in nearly half of the newly reared female mites being unfertilised. Since mites that do reproduce lay a similar number of eggs in winter ( ) as in summer ( ), and the level of mortality suffered by the first female offspring is similar in winter (7%) as in summer (6%), it is probably not the internal physiological state of the host which causes the high level of winter non-reproduction, as has been previously suspected.     

Theoretical basis of single breath gas absorption tests

Absorption of gas from alveoli is examined in a simplified model of the respiratory system during a stylized single breath consisting of constant inspiratory flow, constant expiratory flow, and breathholding. The equations describing gas behavior are general since they are based upon conservation of mass. The equations simplify considerably when gases that are not soluble in pulmonary tissue and/or blood are utilized. In a three-compartment model, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D _CO ) will be underestimated except when both uneven distribution of lung volume andD _CO are present; under most circumstances, the standard clinical 10-s method [9] is at least as accurate as any other. When pulmonary capillary blood flow is calculated by the one point method [2] in a one-compartment lung, it is underestimated; in the three-compartment model, it is underestimated except when both uneven distribution of . and lung volume are present. The multiple single breath method [2] accurately measuresD _CO and . Measurement of pulmonary tissue volume is improved by correcting the value of the intercept of acetylene absorption to the time when carbon monoxide apparently began rather than utilizing the beginning of inspiration.Nomenclature D _CO diffusing capacity of the lung for CO (ml CO, STPD/min/mm Hg) - pulmonary capillary blood flow rate (L/min) - V _t pulmonary tissue volume (L) - V _A alveolar compartment volume (L) - V _Ao alveolar compartment volume at conclusion of inspiratory flow (L) - inspiratory flow rate (L/sec) - expiratory flow rate (L/sec) - Bunsen coefficient of pulmonary tissue for test gas (ml test gas/ml tissue/atm) - Bunsen coefficient of pulmonary tissue for test gas (ml test gas/ml blood/atm) - F _A fractional pressure of test gas in the alveolar compartment (atm)     

Generation of superoxide-radical by the NADH: Ubiquinone oxidoreductase of heart mitochondria

Besides major NADH-, succinate-, and other substrate oxidase reactions resulting in four-electron reduction of oxygen to water, the mitochondrial respiratory chain catalyzes one-electron reduction of oxygen to superoxide radical followed by formation of hydrogen peroxide. In this paper the superoxide generation by Complex I in tightly coupled bovine heart submitochondrial particles is quantitatively characterized.The rate of superoxide formation during -controlled respiration with succinate depends linearly on oxygen concentration and contributes approximately 0.4% of the overall oxidase activity at saturating (0.25 mM) oxygen. The major part of one-electron oxygen reduction during succinate oxidation (80%) proceeds via Complex I at the expense of its -dependent reduction (reverse electron transfer). At saturating NADH the rate of formation is substantially smaller than that with succinate as the substrate. In contrast to NADH oxidase,the rate-substrate concentration dependence for the superoxide production shows a maximum at low (50 µM)concentrations of NADH. NAD⁺ and NADH inhibit the succinate-supported superoxide generation. Deactivation of Complex I results in almost complete loss of its NADH-ubiquinone reductase activity and in increase in NADH-dependent superoxide generation. A model is proposed according to which complex I has two redox active nucleotide binding sites.One site (F) serves as an entry for the NADH oxidation and the other one (R) serves as an exit during either the succinate-supported NAD⁺ reduction or superoxide generation or NADH-ferricyanide reductase reaction.Translated from Biokhimiya, Vol. 70, No. 2, 2005, pp. 150–159.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Vinogradov, Grivennikova.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with corrections to the post codes.     

Ionol (BHT) produces superoxide anion

In aqueous medium etiolated wheat seedlings release superoxide anion ( ). Interaction of a synthetic antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, ionol), with oxygen in the aqueous medium is accompanied by formation. This suggests that under certain conditions BHT behaves as a prooxidant. A natural antioxidant, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and also a wound healing preparation, emulsified denatured placenta (EDP), do not exhibit the prooxidant properties. In contrast to BHT, they reduce production by the etiolated wheat seedling system.     

Allozyme variation among and within eleven Orchis species (fam. Orchidaceae), with special reference to hybridizing aptitude

The electrophoretic variability of nine enzymatic loci was studied in 31 populations of eleven species of the genus Orchis (fam. Orchidaceae). This orchid group shows a higher degree of genetic variability ( ) than reported by Gottlieb (Progr. Phytochem. 7:1–46, 1981) for other outbreeding plant species ( ).Furthermore, the Nei coefficients of genetic identity show a higher biochemical-genetic similarity between species pairs of which we found the hybrids ( ) than between other species pairs ( ). These results seem to indicate a correlation between hybridizing aptitude and degree of genetic similarity. High values could be partially attributed to the presence of a gene flow between two species which, by hybridizing, would join their genetic pools. But they could also indicate that hybridizing species are not well differentiated: the isozyme similarity would reflect a more general similarity of the gene pool that could lead to hybrid formation.     

Effect of oxygen on the growth (yield) of Chlorella vulgaris

The growth yield of Chlorella vulgaris, Y _kJ defined as g cells harvested per kJ of light energy absorbed by the cells, was assessed in a turbidostat culture by varying CO₂ and O₂ partial pressures ( and ). The value of Y _kJ ranged from 3.1×10^-3 to 5.0×10^-3 g cells/kJ under light-limited conditions [ = 1.02.4%, = 065%; total pressure of gas (composed of CO₂, O₂ and N₂)=1 atm]. In the light-limited environment, the algal specific growth rate deteriorated appreciably with the increase of . The deterioration accounts for the above range of Y _kJ observed. The growth inhibition due to oxygen that was defined by subtracting from 1.0 the ratio of at given values of to that at = 0% extended from 0.07–0.30 (7–30%). However, glycolate could not be detected in the turbidostat culture. Isotopic experiments on the specific rate of ¹⁴CO₂ uptake also revealed that the inhibition due to oxygen was from 22–38% when was varied from 0 to nearly 100%. These effects of oxygen were discussed, referring to the activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase that is inhibited competitively by oxygen.Non-Standard Abbreviations INH isonicotinic acid hydrazide - PPO 2,5-diphenyloxazole - DCMU 3-(-3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimetylurea - CA carbonic anhydrase - RuP₂ ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate
