    In:  Supplement to: Meyer, M A; Huang, G-H; Morris, G J; Friedmann, E Imre (1988): 2.2 The effect of low temperatures on Antarctic endolithic green algae. Polarforschung, 58(2/3), 113-119, hdl:10013/epic.29606.d001

    Description: Laboratory experiments show that undercooling to about -5°C occurs in colonized Beacon sandstones of the Ross Desert, Antarctica. High-frequency temperature oscillations between 5°C and -5°C or -10°C (which occur in nature on the rock surface) did not damage Hemichloris antarctica. In a cryomicroscope, H. antarctica appeared to be undamaged after slow or rapid cooling to -50°C. l4CO2 incorporation after freezing to -20°C was unaffected in H. antarctica or in Trebouxia sp. but slightly depressed in Stichococcus sp. (isolated from a less extreme Antarctic habitat). These results suggest that the freezing regime in the Antarctic desert is not injurious to endolithic algae. It is likely that the freezing-point depression inside the rock makes available liquid water for metabolic activity at subzero temperatures. Freezing may occur more frequently on the rock surface and contribute to the abiotic nature of the surface.

    Notes: Abstract Gold mineralization in Archaean granite-greenstone environments, especially gold-quartz veins, contributes considerably to the world's gold production. The formation of epigenetic gold mineralization in greenstone belts is generally explained by the metamorphic secretion theory. This theory is based on the assumption that the source of the gold may be komatiitic or tholeiitic lavas, pyritic chemical or clastic sediments and even granitic rocks from which, as a result of regional metamorphic overprinting, gold was extracted and concentrated in suitable structures. It has been shown that in proposed potential source rocks, gold is predominantly associated with sulfide minerals and thus relatively easily accessible to secretion and reconstitution processes. A large number of various rock types originating from granite-greenstone terranes of the Kaapvaal and the Rhodesian cratons were geochemically investigated, and the following ranges for gold determined: volcanic rocks (komatiitic and tholeiitic): 0.1–372 ppb granitic rocks of the basement: 0.3–7.8 ppb iron-rich chemical sediments: 1.0–667 ppb Statistical treatment of the data reveals that volcanic rocks as well as iron-rich chemical sediments are favorable sources for epigenetic gold mineralization formed by metamorphic secretion, while the granitic rocks make less suitable primary gold sources. This finding explains the close spatial relationship which is common between gold-quartz veins and greenstone belts. The conspicuous abundance of epigenetic gold mineralization in the Archaean, however, is attributed to the unique geologic and metamorphic history of the granite-greenstone terranes.

    Notes: Molecular dynamics method and Lennard-Jones potential functions are employed to model liquid–liquid interfaces. The simulations are carried out in a range of temperature and pressure near the triple point. The investigated systems are symmetric and composed of two identical liquids L1 and L2. The interactions between the atoms of L1 and L2 are obtained from modified Lennard-Jones potential functions where extra parameters are introduced to reduce the miscibility between the two liquids. The interfacial tensions and the miscibilities are varied by using different parameters. The interfaces thus obtained are stable on the time scale of the simulation as shown by the density and pressure profiles. This is also confirmed by a geometrical analysis performed in order to characterize the fluctuations of the interfaces. The calculation of the diffusion coefficients shows clearly an anisotropy of the diffusion process in the interfacial region.

    Notes: Fine line superconductors of Y-Ba-Cu-O were formed on 〈100〉 SrTiO3 by the completely nonvacuum techniques of metalorganic deposition and selective laser pyrolysis. Lines 35 μm wide were written, using an Ar laser, in metal neodecanoates prior to pyrolysis. Regions of the metalorganics not exposed to laser pyrolysis were developed away using a xylene wash. Complete pyrolysis of the metal neodecanoates and rapid thermal annealing produced lines having superconducting onsets above 90 K and zero resistance at 69 K.

    Notes: Summary The composition of the vacuolar sap of Chara vulgaris growing in a brackish water lake was estimated weekly over 2 years (1984–1985). The ionic concentrations of the main cations Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ and the anion Cl- varied depending on cell age, developmental state, and season. The average of all measurements (in mM) was Na+: 35, K+: 106, Ca2+: 7, Mg2+: 23, Cl-: 101, SO 2- 4 : 20, and PO 3- 4 : 5. At the onset of growth in May/June the ionic content was lower compared to the mean value for the year, steadily increasing until it reached its maximum above the annual mean in winter. During the period of fructification (sexual reproduction: formation of antheridia and oogonia), when up to 100 mM sucrose was accumulated in the vacuolar sap, ionic content was lowest. This resulted in a fairly constant osmotic potential throughout the year. Mg2+ and Ca2+ concentrations were correlated with the physiological age of the cells.

    Notes: Summary Schistidium antarctici is the commonest of five bryophytes known in the Windmill Islands area of Wilkes Land, Greater Antarctica. In moist habitats it forms closed carpets, but in dry sites it develops a short cushion growth form. Carbon dioxide exchange of both a mesic (Sm) and a xeric growth form (Sx) was investigated by means of an IRGA system in the field near Casey Station under natural light and simulated ambient or controlled temperature conditions in the plant chamber. The chlorophyll content in Sm was three times higher than in Sx. The light compensation point of Sm was lower than in Sx. The data for photosynthesis and dark respiration were computed by means of non-linear and linear regression analysis. Sm was more productive and had a wider temperature range of positive net photosynthesis than Sx under similar conditions. Dark respiration per gram of the whole moss sample was identical in both ecodemes. A decline of the photosynthesis curves at quantum flux densities above 500 μmol m-2 s-1 PAR indicated a photoinhibitory effect in Sm. Sx was even more sensitive to high irradiance levels. Photoinhibition was not apparent in laboratory measurements under artificial light. According to our field measurements the photoinhibitory effect increases with increasing temperature. Moisture loss was avoided during the experiments by water supply from the bottom and frequently spraying the moss samples with water. In the natural habitat the desiccating effect of solar radiation is important, as it quickly causes photosynthesis to cease. The moss will dry out sooner in a xeric habitat than in one which is continuously moist. Consequently, the mesic Schistidium might particularly be subjected to photoinhibition by bright sunshine.

    Notes: Summary Standardized abundances of 40 frequently occurring macrozooplankton taxa collected by double-oblique bongo net hauls between the surface and 200 m depth were submitted to an agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis, to characterize surface zooplankton communities in the southern and eastern Weddell Sea. The sensitivity of the analysis concerning reduction of the number of considered taxa (especially stages of species) was tested. Dominant taxa in the entire area over the whole period were copepods Metridia gerlachei and Calanoides acutus. Calanus propinquus, Appendicularia spp. and calyptopis-1 larvae of krill, Euphausia superba were abundant at 73°S/19°W. Euphausia crystallorophias and larval fish Pleuragramma antarcticum dominated at 77°S/40°W on the southern shelf. The cluster analysis revealed marked similarities between the southern shelf community and the January community further to the northeast. E. crystallorophias, and larval Pleuragramma antarcticum are thought to be transported in surface layers of the coastal current to the southwest. Oceanic species such as Thysanoessa sp. and E. superba are probably not transported in the same way. Possible mechanisms for the maintenance of the community structures are discussed. A simplified method of characterizing communities, based on analysis of euphausiids, is presented.

    Notes: Abstract Suspension cultures of soybean were initiated from hypocotyl or cotyledon callus tissue of several soybean genotypes. When these were grown on L2 medium with 0.4 mg/liter 2,4-D several genotypes produced numerous embryoids while others produced only a few such structures. Due to internal anatomy, no embryoid developed into a complete plant. A genotype's propensity to form normal appearing embryoids was correlated with the ability to proliferate shoots at the cotyledonary node on a medium with benzylaminopurine as determined in previous testing.

    Notes: Summary To identify genotypes which may give better plant regeneration responses in vitro, multiple shoots were induced from 155 Glycine max and 13 Glycine soja genotypes from maturity groups ‘000’ to ‘VII’ on B5 medium supplemented with 1 or 5 μmol benzylaminopurine (BAP). The average number of shoots formed show genotype specific and hormone concentration specific responses, with number of shoots ranging from 1 to 12 for different genotypes. The results were reproducible with different seed lots of the same genotype and genotypes with similar genetic backgrounds responded in a similar fashion. No hybrid vigor was observed, except in one instance of F1 hybrids between low shoot producers where the number of shoots obtained were higher than either parent. The root forming ability of cuttings of soybean plants grown in vivo showed general agreement with shoot forming ability in vitro. The ability to form multiple shoots appears to be genetically controlled.

    Notes: Abstract Residual activities produced via35Cl or32S beams in thin112Sn and106Cd targets have been studied by γ-ray and X-ray spectroscopy techniques behind a He-jet system. Mass identification of the products has been performed by coupling the He-jet to the medium current ion source of an isotope separator. Neutron-deficient nuclei with 137≦A≦144 have been identified. Decay schemes of several new isotopes as138Eu (12s),141Gd (22s),143Tb (12s and 〈17s),144Dy (9s) and possibly140Gd (11s) have been derived. New informations have also been provided for137Sm (45s),139Eu (24s) and144Tb (5s). Data have been presented through systematics. The shapes of these nuclei and their trends versusN andZ have been analysed.
