ABSTRACT. From an intermittent stream in College Station, Texas, a Paramecium was isolated that did not appear to belong to any recognized species. On the basis of nuclear and whole-body morphology, it can be assigned to the Paramecium aurelia species-complex, and it can be distinguished from other members of that complex on the basis of mating-type reactivity and isoenzyme patterns. These characteristics are felt sufficient to justify a new species assignment. The new species has been named Paramecium sonneborni n. sp. in honor of the late Dr. Tracy M. Sonneborn of Indiana University. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. Traditionally, observations on the nature of protozoa have been published in periodicals or books, or remain buried in research notebooks. The retrieval and processing of information on a particular species or strain are dependent solely upon individual investigators. Although various modern methods have been applied to the study of protozoa, no attempt has been made to develop a system with which information on protozoan strains can be stored, retrieved easily, and processed for various analyses by computer technology. Based upon an existing system for encoding data on bacterial strains, a complementary system applicable to protozoan strains was developed and is described herein. 相似文献

Chemically defined minimal media for the cultivation of high temperature tolerant and pathogenic Naegleria spp. have been developed. A defined minimal medium, identical for N. fowleri and N. lovaniensis, consists of eleven amino acids (arginine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, threonine, tryptophan, and valine), six vitamins (biotin, folic acid, hemin, pyridoxal, riboflavin, and thiamine), guanosine, glucose, salts, and metals. Three of the four strains of Naegleria fowleri tested (ATCCr?30100, ATCCr?30863, and ATCCr?30896) and two strains of N. lovaniensis (ATCCr?30467 and ATCCr?30569) could be cultured beyond ten subcultures on this medium. For N. fowleri ATCCr?30894 diaminopimelic acid, or lysine, or glutamic acid was also required. Mean generation time was reduced and population density increased for all strains with the introduction of glutamic acid. Glucose could be eliminated from the minimal medium only if glutamic acid was present. Without glucose, mean generation time increased and population density decreased. Diaminopimelic acid could substitute for lysine for ATCCr?30894, indicating that Naegleria species may synthesize their lysine via the DAP pathway. Naegleria fowleri ATCCr?30100 could be adapted to grow without serine or glycine in the minimal medium with glutamic acid added, but with mean generation time increased and population density decreased. The strain could be grown in the minimal medium in the absence of metals. For growth of N. australiensis ATCCr?30958, modification of the medium by increasing metals ten-fold, substituting guanine for guanosine and adding lysine, glutamic acid, and six vitamins (p-aminobenzoic acid, choline chloride, inositol, vitamin B12, nicotinamide, and Ca pantothenate) was required. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Isoenyme electrophoresis of three different enzymes was used to compare 16 strains of vahlkampfiid amoebae and a strain identified as a slime mold. The strain designated as an Echinostelium sp. was found to be an isolate of Naegleria fowleri on the basis of zymogram type and other characters, confirming Cursons & Brown's similar conclusion drawn in 1975. The N. fowleri strains examined expressed the typical zymograms of the species. The N. gruberi strains in this study presented two distinctive groups of patterns that were different from the two previously reported types for N. gruberi. Each of the remaining species studied formed single distinctive groups by which they could be identified. 相似文献

The first successful cryopreservation of Ochromonas danica and Ochromonas malhamensis is reported. The freezing method was consistently reproducible for the former, but not for the latter. Ochromonas danica cultures established from frozen material still could be used as test organisms for assay of thiamin. This is the first report of a protozoon retaining its assay property after being frozen to -196 C. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. Isoenzyme electrophoresis of 7 different enzyme systems was used to compare 24 strains of Naegleria fowleri and 6 strains of N. gruberi. The 30 strains could be grouped into 4 distinct categories based upon zymogram patterns. No interstrain band variation in all enzyme systems was demonstrated in pathogenic strains of N. fowleri. Three nonpathogenic high temperature-tolerant strains of Naegleria had similar zymograms. Four of the 5 remaining nonpathogenic Naegleria strains had no interstrain band variation. Based upon zymograms, the 22 pathogenic strains constitute a homogenous species. Similarly the high temperature-tolerant nonpathogenic strains formed a cohesive group. The remaining nonpathogenic strains could be separated into 2 groups. 相似文献
