The effect of sedimentation and microbial nitrogen regeneration in a plankton community: a simulation investigation

A computer simulation model was developed to investigate nitrogenfluxes associated with microbial interactions in plankton communities.A short time scale was used, appropriate to the build-up anddecline of phytoplankton blooms in temperate shelf waters aftera mixing or upwelling event. The model depicts a continuum ofevents, many of which have been observed in coastal, upwellingand oceanic systems, including two phytoplankton peaks correspondingto ‘new production’ and ‘regenerated production’.It predicts that nitrogen loss through sedimentation of phytoplanktonand faeces may result in a smaller bloom with a delayed onsetand prolonged duration. Microbial regeneration of nitrogen wasfound to be important in sustaining the middle stages of a phytoplanktonbloom, whereas micro- and meso-zooplankton regeneration occurredtowards the end of the bloom.     

Kinetics of dark repair inhibition in ultraviolet damaged DNA by substituted quinolines

The effects of chloroquine on the kinetics of the dark repair process were investigated by employing a cellular system. Lineweaver-Burke plots and Dixon plots of chloroquine inhibition, respectively, showed that there was an increase in slope with increasing concentration of inhibitor which followed an enzyme-like pattern. These results are consistent with a model for excision-repair in which chloroquine may block the excision repair pathway.     

Volatiles from the epicuticular wax of watercress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum)

Volatiles from the epicuticular wax of watercress were collected by ether washing and examined using gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysi
