    Notes: : We review published analyses of the effects of climate change on goods and services provided by freshwater ecosystems in the United States. Climate-induced changes must be assessed in the context of massive anthropogenic changes in water quantity and quality resulting from altered patterns of land use, water withdrawal, and species invasions; these may dwarf or exacerbate climate-induced changes. Water to meet instream needs is competing with other uses of water, and that competition is likely to be increased by climate change. We review recent predictions of the impacts of climate change on aquatic ecosystems in eight regions of North America. Impacts include warmer temperatures that alter lake mixing regimes and availability of fish habitat; changed magnitude and seasonality of runoff regimes that alter nutrient loading and limit habitat availability at low flow; and loss of prairie pothole wetlands that reduces waterfowl populations. Many of the predicted changes in aquatic ecosystems are a consequence of climatic effects on terrestrial ecosystems; shifts in riparian vegetation and hydrology are particularly critical. We review models that could be used to explore potential effects of climate change on freshwater ecosystems; these include models of instream flow, bioenergetics models, nutrient spiraling models, and models relating riverine food webs to hydrologic regime. We discuss potential ecological risks, benefits, and costs of climate change and identify information needs and model improvements that are required to improve our ability to predict and identify climate change impacts and to evaluate management options.

    Notes: Same-different, duo-trio and triangle discrimination methods were compared using vanilla flavored yogurt with and without added sugar as the medium. Two experiments were performed, one in controlled laboratory conditions and the other in conditions approximating more to consumer testing. A modification of the same-different test had greater power than the duo-trio of triangle tests. At higher sugar concentrations, d’values for the three methods were equivalent. Yet, at lower sugar concentrations, the same-different d’tended to be higher. The results are discussed in terms of Sequential Sensitivity Analysis, memory effects and changes between β and criteria.

    Notes: Seepage meters provide a useful, inexpensive method of measuring seepage flux through unconsolidated sediments in lakes, reservoirs, and stream channels. In the literature, the bag type used is usually not indicated, and its effect on seepage measurement has not been evaluated. The effects of bag type and seepage meter size have been evaluated in a laboratory setting.A sandbox 100.4 (L) × 76.2 (W) × 24 (H) cm size was half filled with coarse sand and water to a depth of 10 cm. Four seepage meters and two bag types (balloon and condom) were used in the seepage measurements.There was no significant difference between the seepage measurements obtained from the two bag types. A two-sample t-test (df=56, Wt-sat=2.58, alpha=0.01, p=0.0013) failed to reject the null hypothesis of similarity between measurements from the two bag types. The seepage measurements from four seepage meters were similar with no significant difference; however, the smaller diameter seepage meters had a greater variance.

    Notes: The redox centers in the molybdo iron-sulfur flavoprotein CO dehydrogenase from the thermophilic bacterium Pseudomonas thermocarboxydovorans were identified and characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). One mol of the 279-kDa dimer contained 1.9 mol of Mo, 2.2 mol of FAD, 6.9 mol of Fe and 6.7 mol of labile sulfide. The molybdenum cofactor is composed of a 1:1 mononuclear complex of molybdopterin-cytosine dinucleotide and the Mo ion. EPR spectroscopy revealed signals typical for Mo(V), FADH•, and type I and type II [2Fe-2S] centers.

    Notes: Stress genes are differentially expressed during the development of Neurospora crassa and other fungi. Large amounts of constitutive heat shock protein 70 (HSC70) are found in dormant conidia of N. crassa, whereas little mRNA of the related glucose-regulated protein (grp78) is detected. It is, however, not generally clear whether heat shock protein or mRNA is preferentially stored in dormant spores. Germinating spores of N. crassa increase the level of grp mRNA. During this developmental stage, the induction of inducible heat shock protein (hsp) genes can be elicited by heat shock only at certain times after the beginning of germination. Exponential growth (proliferation) is paralleled by increased levels of HSCs. The stationary state is characterized by decreased levels of some HSCs and increased levels of others. Conidiation in N. crassa is accompanied by a strong enhancement of the synthesis and levels of HSCs but also of HSPs after heat shock. This increase may serve a need for additional rounds of replication, for the expression and transport of sporulation-specific proteins or for stabilization of macromolecules in the spores and their preservation for germination. The control mechanisms involved in the differential expression of hsc genes are currently not known.

    Notes: Cell density-dependent gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is controlled, in part, by the quorum-sensing regulator LasR. lasR null mutants exhibited a reproducible 2-fold decrease in production of the catecholate-hydroxamate siderophore pyoverdine during grown under iron-limiting conditions. Similarly, lasI mutants defective in the biosynthesis of the autoinducer PAI-1 also exhibited a 2-fold decrease in pyoverdine production which could be largely restored upon addition of exogenous PAI-1. lasR mutants were not altered with respect to expression of the pvdD gene involved in the synthesis of the peptide portion of pyoverdine, indicating that some other pyoverdine biosynthetic gene(s) were affected by the LasRI status of the cell. This represents the first report of quorum-sensing regulation of siderophore production in bacteria and highlights the fact that cell density, while not an essential signal for pyoverdine expression, does enhance production of this siderophore.

    Notes: FpvA, the ferripyoverdine outer membrane receptor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15692 (PAO1 strain), is not specific to the pyoverdine produced by PAO1, but is also able to recognize the structurally different (ferri)pyoverdine of P. fluorescens ATCC 13525. The specificity of FpvA was assessed by iron uptake competitions using the wild-type strains P. aeruginosa ATCC 15692 and P. fluorescens ATCC 13525 and their respective ferripyoverdines, and by fpvA gene complementation of a FpvA-deficient mutant of P. aeruginosa ATCC 15692. The receptor mutant was able to utilize none of the two pyoverdines, while the same but fpvA-complemented mutant recovered simultaneously the ability to incorporate iron thanks to each of the two siderophores. The broad specificity of recognition of FpvA is viewed as an advantage for the strain in iron competition. Moreover, it allows an interesting approach for the understanding of the recognition mechanism between a (ferri)pyoverdine and its cognate outer membrane receptor.

    Notes: In the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) of Zymomonas mobilis the β subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1p) as well as the acetyltransferase (E2p) contain an N-terminal lipoyl domain. Both lipoyl domains were acetylated in vitro using 2-14C-pyruvate as a substrate, demonstrating that both lipoyl domains can accept acetyl groups from the E1 component. As previously shown the structural genes (pdhAαβ, pdhB, lpd) encoding the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex of Z. mobilis are located in two distinct gene clusters, pdhAαβ and pdhB-orf2-lpd (U. Neveling et al. (1998) J. Bacteriol. 180, 1540–1548). Analysis of pdh gene expression using lacZ fusions revealed that the DNA fragments upstream of pdhAα, pdhB and lpd each have promoter activities. These pdh promoter activities were 7–30-fold higher in Z. mobilis than in Escherichia coli.

    Notes: Respiratory chain composition of the ethanol-producing bacterium Zymomonas mobilis was studied. Its membrane d-lactate oxidase was characterised. With NADH, but not d-lactate as substrate, a cytochrome o-like component was seen in CO difference spectra. Chlorpromazine specifically inhibited reduction of cytochrome d, while myxothiazol eliminated the cytochrome o-like features in CO difference spectra. It is suggested that electrons from NADH are distributed between branches terminated by the cytochrome o-like component, cytochrome a, and cytochrome d. With d-lactate, electrons are transported to cytochrome a, or an unidentified CN−-sensitive oxidase, and cytochrome d.
