    Notes: Field investigations in Paradise Valley, Arizona, conducted during 1974 and 1977, delineated areas of ground water with up to 132 mg/1 nitrate. Two alternative interpretations are developed as to possible sources of the excess nitrate. The first is a conventional interpretation identifying the use of nitrogenous fertilizers as the primary source and disposal of treated waste-water effluent as a secondary source. An alternative interpretation identifies the source as a sand and gravel unit that is interpreted as a braided-stream deposit, located about 152 m (500 ft) below the land surface. The source of the nitrate may have been NH4Cl leached from tuffs in the adjacent Superstition Mountains, subsequently oxidized to nitrate and deposited in abandoned channels of the braided-stream complex. At present, it is not possible to make a definitive choice among the possible nitrate sources.

    Notes: Examination of strains of Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, and Campylobacter fetus by electron microscopy revealed that they produced peritrichous pilus-like appendages when the bacteria were grown in the presence of bile salts. Various bile-salt supplements were used and it was found that deoxycholate and chenodeoxycholic acid caused a significant enhancement of pilus production and resulted in a highly aggregative phenotype. Morphologically, the pili were between 4 and 7 nm in width and were greater than 1 μm in length. A gene, termed pspA, which encodes a predicted protein resembling protease IV of Escherichia coli, was identified in C. jejuni strain 81–176. A site-specific insertional mutation within this gene resulted in the loss of pilus synthesis as determined by electron microscopy. Insertions upstream and downstream of the gene had no effect on pilus production. The non-piliated mutant of strain 81–176 showed no reduction in adherence to or invasion of INT 407 cells in vitro. However, this mutant, while still possessing the ability to colonize ferrets, caused significantly reduced disease symptoms in this animal model.

    Notes: The statistical benefit of reduced variability in experiments with clones was quantified with cold hardy Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) ramets from six clones from a single full-sib family and a check group of open-pollinated seedlings from a bulk seed collection from the same geographic seed source. All groups were cold deacclimated under controlled conditions. The variability in response for physiological attributes (cold hardiness, root growth potential, days to bud-break) was compared within and among groups by using statistical power analyses. Sample sizes required to detect significant differences of varying magnitude between two hypothetical treatment means were calculated. Differences among clones in the average response exhibited for each physiological attribute were large, but within-clone variability was low, relative to the check group of seedlings. Selection of plant material for a hypothetical experiment from this population of several identifiable clones would have consistently resulted in an experiment with greater power than an experiment using these ramets without the clone identities. From a statistical perspective, the best approach to reduce the number of replicates needed to detect treatment differences was selection of experimental plant material from a single clone, especially with prior screening for the most homogeneous clone for the physiological attributes and time periods of interest. However, from a biological perspective, use of a single clone should be approached with caution because of the lack of representation of natural population variability and the possible inability to broadly apply experimental results.
