    Notes: Abstract 1-Cyanoethanoyl-4-acryloylthiosemicarbazide (CEATS) was synthesized for the first time as a new chelating monomer. Its structure was confirmed by both elemental and spectral analyses. Radical polymerization and copolymerization of CEATS was been carried out in dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. Kinetic studies for the polymerization behavior of CEATS were performed. The complex formation of the CEATS monomer and polymer (PCEATS) with Cu II cation was investigated and its stability constant determined. The rate of copolymerization of CEATS with some conventional monomers, namely vinyl acetate, methyl methacrylate and acrylonitrile, was measured as a function of the mole fraction of the monomers. The reactivity ratios (r1, r2) for the various copolymer systems investigated together with the Q and e values of the CEATS monomer were determined. Moreover, the thermal gravimetric analysis of the prepared polymers and their copolymers with acrylonitrile were also studied.

    Description: In Tunisia, seaweed eco-biological and valorization studies are relatively recent. In this context, the red seaweed Gracilaria bursa-pastoris has been studied during a year at three different locations in the Bizerte Lagoon (North of Tunisia): Menzel Jemil (MJ), Menzel Abderrahmane (MA) and Menzel Bourguiba (MB). Environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity and nutrients were measured. The weight, length, number of ramifications at 0.5 cm from the apices in gametophyte and terasporophyte thalli and biomass were investigated. Besides, the seasonal variation of the agar yield and quality was studied. Results showed seasonal and temporal fluctuations of all parameters studied. Thus, the maximum of temperature (32.2 °C) was measured in August at MB. The salinity ranged from 33 psu in April at MA to 41.2 psu at MB in November. The pH varied from 8 to 8.8. The dissolved oxygen reached 11.2 mg L-1 at MJ in October. The nitrogen and the phosphorus elements varied also during the study period according to the season and the sampling site. The maximum weight of Gracilaria bursa pastoris occurred in summer (134.58g) in the tetrasporophyte thalli at MJ. The highest length was recorded in January (30.5 cm) in tetrasporophytes at MB. The maximum ramification number occurred in April (54) in mature females (cystocarpic thalli) at MA. The highest biomass was obtained in summer (56.23 g m-2 dry weight) at MJ. The maximum agar yield (27.48 %) was obtained in spring at MJ. The highest gel strength, gelling and melting temperatures were also recorded in spring (148.33 g cm-2, 40.16 °C and 83 °C, respectively). All of the results indicated that Gracilaria bursa-pastoris may be considered as a potential resource for agar industry in Tunisia. This hydrocolloid (agar) may be used in different fields, namely in food and cosmetic industries.
    Description: Les études éco-biologiques des algues et leur valorisation sont relativement récentes en Tunisie. Dans ce contexte, une étude sur la rhodophycée Gracilaria bursa-pastoris a été entreprise dans la lagune de Bizerte durant une année dans trois localités différentes: Menzel Jemil (MJ), Menzel Abderrahmane (MA) et Menzel Bourguiba (MB). Différents facteurs hydrologiques tels que la température, la salinité, l’oxygène dissous, le pH et les sels nutritifs ont été étudiés. Par ailleurs, la biomasse, le poids individuel des thalles gamétophytiques et tétrasporophytiques, la longueur et le nombre de ramifications à 0.5 cm des apex ont été suivis. En outre, la variation saisonnière du rendement et de la qualité de l’agar-agar ont été investiguées. Les résultats ont montré une variation spatio-temporelle de tous les paramètres étudiés. Ainsi, la température maximale (32,2 °C) a été enregistrée au mois d’août à MB. La salinité a varié entre 33 psu en avril à MA et 41,2 psu en novembre à MB. Le pH a varié entre 8 et 8,8. L’oxygène dissous a atteint 11,2 mg L-1 à MJ en Octobre. Les éléments azotés et phosphorés ont fluctué selon la saison et le site d’échantillonnage. Le maximum de poids individuel (134,58 g) a été enregistré en juillet chez les tétrasporophytes à MJ. La longueur maximale (30,5 cm) a été aussi atteinte chez les tétrasporophytes à MB en janvier. Le nombre maximum de ramifications (54) a été enregistré en avril à MA chez les thalles femelles mâtures à cystocarpes. La biomasse maximale (56,23 g m-2, en poids sec) a été obtenue en été à MA. Concernant l’agar, le rendement le plus élevé (27,48 %) a été enregistré au printemps à MJ. La force de gel, le point de gélification et le point de fusion maximum ont également été obtenus au printemps, soit respectivement de 148,33 g cm-2, 40,16 °C et 83 °C. Tous les résultats obtenus indiquent que Gracilaria bursa-pastoris pourrait être source potentielle pour une industrie tunisienne d’agar-agar. Ce dernier pourrait être utilisé dans différents domaines tels que les industries agro-alimentaires et en cosmétique.

    Description: The present study aims to investigate the effects of irradiance and salinity on the growth and agar yield in early stages of development of carposporelings and young tetrasporophytes of Gracilaria gracilis in the laboratory conditions. Three levels of irradiance, photoperiod and salinity were tested. The results showed that the highest growth in basal disc of carposporelings was recorded at 8:16h light/dark, 60 μmol photons m-²s-1, and a salinity of 40 psu after four weeks of culture. The optimal percentage of erect fronds occurred at 16:8 h light/dark, 32 μmol photons.m-² s-1 and a salinity of 30 psu .The highest weight (about 6000mg) of juvenile tetrasporophytes was recorded at 40psu after 228 culture days. The maximum of length was also obtained at 40 psu at the end of the study. The best agar yield was recorded at 8:16 h light/ dark and a salinity of 20 psu. This study proved that Gracilaria may be cultivated using spores in order to obtain mature plants and then extract useful compounds such as agar.
    Description: Cette étude a été réalisée sur les carpospores et les petites plantules (tétrasporophytes juvéniles) qui en sont issues de la rhodophycée Gracilaria gracilis de la lagune de Bizerte. Elle a pour objectif de tester l’effet de trois intensités lumineuses, photopériodes et salinités sur la croissance et le rendement en agar-agar. Les résultats montrent que la croissance la plus importante des carpospores a été enregistrée sous une intensité lumineuse de 60 μ mol photons m-2s-1, une photopériode de 8 :16 h et une salinité de 40 psu (260 ± 64.48 μm) après quatre semaines de culture. Le pourcentage le plus élevé (100 %) des frondes érigées a été obtenu en fin de culture sous 32 μ mol photons m-2s- 1, une photopériode 16 : 8 h et une salinité de 30 psu. Le poids le plus élevé (environ 6000 mg) des petites plantules issues des carpospores a été enregistré après 228 jours de culture à 40 psu. La longueur maximale (16.25 ± 0.36 cm) a également été obtenue à une salinité de 40 psu. Le rendement en agar-agar a atteint 30.75 ±7.15 % du poids sec de l’algue avec les valeurs les plus faibles d’intensité lumineuse, de photopériode et de salinité. Cette étude a mis en évidence la possibilité de culture de Gracilaria à partir des spores afin d’obtenir des plantes adultes et d’en extraire par la suite des substances d’intérêt tel que l’agar-agar.

    Description: A mesophilic toluene-degrading consortium (TDC) and an ethylbenzene-degrading consortium (EDC) were established under sulfate-reducing conditions. These consortia were first characterized by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) fingerprinting of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments, followed by sequencing. The sequences of the major bands (T-1 and E-2) belonging to TDC and EDC, respectively, were affiliated with the family Desulfobacteriaceae. Another major band from EDC (E-1) was related to an uncultured non-sulfate-reducing soil bacterium. Oligonucleotide probes specific for the 16S rRNAs of target organisms corresponding to T-1, E-1, and E-2 were designed, and hybridization conditions were optimized for two analytical formats, membrane and DNA microarray hybridization. Both formats were used to characterize the TDC and EDC, and the results of both were consistent with DGGE analysis. In order to assess the utility of the microarray format for analysis of environmental samples, oil-contaminated sediments from the coast of Kuwait were analyzed. The DNA microarray successfully detected bacterial nucleic acids from these samples, but probes targeting specific groups of sulfate-reducing bacteria did not give positive signals. The results of this study demonstrate the limitations and the potential utility of DNA microarrays for microbial community analysis.

    Description: Oligonucleotide microarrays were used to profile directly extracted rRNA from environmental microbial populations without PCR amplification. In our initial inspection of two distinct estuarine study sites, the hybridization patterns were reproducible and varied between estuarine sediments of differing salinities. The determination of a thermal dissociation curve (i.e., melting profile) for each probe-target duplex provided information on hybridization specificity, which is essential for confirming adequate discrimination between target and nontarget sequences.

    Description: The discrimination between perfect-match and single-base-pair-mismatched nucleic acid duplexes was investigated by using oligonucleotide DNA microarrays and nonequilibrium dissociation rates (melting profiles). DNA and RNA versions of two synthetic targets corresponding to the 16S rRNA sequences of Staphylococcus epidermidis (38 nucleotides) and Nitrosomonas eutropha (39 nucleotides) were hybridized to perfect-match probes (18-mer and 19-mer) and to a set of probes having all possible single-base-pair mismatches. The melting profiles of all probe-target duplexes were determined in parallel by using an imposed temperature step gradient. We derived an optimum wash temperature for each probe and target by using a simple formula to calculate a discrimination index for each temperature of the step gradient. This optimum corresponded to the output of an independent analysis using a customized neural network program. These results together provide an experimental and analytical framework for optimizing mismatch discrimination among all probes on a DNA microarray.

    Description: The effects of single-base-pair near-terminal and terminal mismatches on the dissociation temperature (T(d)) and signal intensity of short DNA duplexes were determined by using oligonucleotide microarrays and neural network (NN) analyses. Two perfect-match probes and 29 probes having a single-base-pair mismatch at positions 1 to 5 from the 5' terminus of the probe were designed to target one of two short sequences representing 16S rRNA. Nonequilibrium dissociation rates (i.e., melting profiles) of all probe-target duplexes were determined simultaneously. Analysis of variance revealed that position of the mismatch, type of mismatch, and formamide concentration significantly affected the T(d) and signal intensity. Increasing the concentration of formamide in the washing buffer decreased the T(d) and signal intensity, and it decreased the variability of the signal. Although T(d)s of probe-target duplexes with mismatches in the first or second position were not significantly different from one another, duplexes with mismatches in the third to fifth positions had significantly lower T(d)s than those with mismatches in the first or second position. The trained NNs predicted the T(d) with high accuracies (R(2) = 0.93). However, the NNs predicted the signal intensity only moderately accurately (R(2) = 0.67), presumably due to increased noise in the signal intensity at low formamide concentrations. Sensitivity analysis revealed that the concentration of formamide explained most (75%) of the variability in T(d)s, followed by position of the mismatch (19%) and type of mismatch (6%). The results suggest that position of the mismatch at or near the 5' terminus plays a greater role in determining the T(d) and signal intensity of duplexes than the type of mismatch.
