    Notes: Abstract The molar yield coefficients (Y glucose, Y O 2) of glucose-limited continuous cultures of the thermoacidophile Bacillus acidocaldarius have been measured as a function of dilution rate as well as over a range of temperature and pH (51°C to 64°C, pH 2.8–5.5) at a fixed dilution rate of approximately 0.1 h-1. The highest growth yields were observed at 51°C and pH〉4.3 (Y glucose 54.8 g cells · mol glucose-1, Y O 2 15.0 g cells · mol O 2 -1 ), but were very much lower than those of mesophilic neutrophiles of similar respiratory chain composition to B. acidocaldarius. Even lower growth yields were observed when the temperature was raised or when the pH was lowered, lowest yields occurring at 64°C and pH 2.8 (Y glucose 23.4 g cells · mol glucose-1, Y O 2 5.9 g cells · mol O 2 -1 ). These decreases in growth yield could be correlated with increases in the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane to protons, i.e. cells needed to catalyse enhanced rates of substrate oxidation in order to avoid a potentially lethal acidification of the cytoplasm. This strategy appears to be successful in that the specific death rates in situ were very low for all cultures except those growing under the most extreme conditions (64°C, pH 2.8).

    Notes: Abstract A minimal-salts medium has been optimised to support the growth of the acidophilic thermophilic bacterium Bacillus acidocaldarius. This medium was used during a study of the effect of temperature and pH on the growth rate and growth yield of this organism in batch cultures; a statistical method was used to design the experimental points, and the data were subjected to a response surface analysis which allowed the growth rate and growth yield to be predicted over the entire temperature and pH range from a minimum number of experimental points. The results indicate different responses for growth rate (optimum, 60°C, pH 4.1) and growth yield (optimum tending towards low temperature and neutral pH).

    Notes: Abstract  The development of large panels of simple-to-analyse genetic markers for tagging agronomically important genes and diversity studies in hexaploid bread wheat is an important goal in applied cereal genetic research. We have isolated and sequenced over 200 clones containing microsatellites from the wheat genome and have tested 153 primer pairs for genetic polymorphism using a panel of ten wheat varieties, including the parents of our main mapping cross. A subset comprising 49 primer pairs detects 76 loci, of which 74 can be unequivocably allocated to one of the wheat chromosomes. A relatively low frequency of the loci detected are from the D genome, and these loci show less polymorphism than those from the A and B genomes. Generally, the microsatellites show high levels of genetic polymorphism and an average of 3.5 alleles per locus with an average polymorphism information content (PIC), value of 0.51. The observed levels of polymorphism are positively correlated with the length of the microsatellite repeats. A high proportion, approximately two-thirds, of primer pairs designed to detect simple sequence repeat (SSR) variation in wheat do not generate the expected amplification products and, more significantly, often generate unresolvable PCR products. In general, our results agree closely with those obtained from other recent studies using microsatellites in plants.

    Notes: Abstract  Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) has low levels of RFLP. Simple sequence repeats, however, show high levels of polymorphism and are therefore especially useful in intervarietal breeding applications. We present 53 newly mapped microsatellite loci for the wheat genetic map, 41 primary loci and 12 additional loci from these same primer pairs. Markers have been accredited with a quality score on a scale of 1–5 which describes the complexity of the amplification product profile from each primer pair.

    Notes: Abstract Photoreceptor cells that were mostly free of extracellular material and suitable for most electrophysiological study procedures were dissociated from whole heads of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, by a simple “smash” technique employing gentle chopping by a razor blade through Parafilm sheets. A variety of commonly available proteolytic and glycolytic digestion enzymes were tested as additions to the basic dissociation procedure described. With the aid of Nomarski interference contrast optics, periodic acid-Schiff staining, and fluorescent labeling and microscopy methods, it was determined that proteolytic enzymatic digestion does little to enhance the dissociation procedure, and instead, often damages the cells that one is attempting to recover. Unexpectedly, certain glycolytic enzymes, when added to the basic procedure, appear to enhance the recovery of intact viable Drosophila photoreceptors that are stripped of most extracellular material. Based on these results, a hypothesis concerning the biochemical nature of the extracellular matrix of the Drosophila retina is proposed. Drosophila photoreceptors are an interesting model system for the study of invertebrate phototransduction and photoreceptor cell biology because of their many well-characterized mutant strains. The technique described here should produce clean viable photoreceptors or ommatidia that respond to light, and that are suitable for patch clamping or cell culture.
