    Notes: Abstract We have investigated the biological activity in the filtered culture supernatants from 9 VT-producing Escherichia coli strains. The filtrates from 4 strains (3 of human and one of bovine origin), were cytotoxic on Vero and HeLa cells, and caused death in intraperitoneally injected adult mice. The 5 strains of porcine origin showed cytotoxic activity on Vero and Y-1 cells but not on HeLa cells. Filtrates of these latter strains were not lethal for adult mice. VT-cytotoxins produced by all strains were inactive in the infant mouse test and the filtrates from 7 of 8 VT-producing strains assayed in rabbit ileal loops caused fluid accumulation in at least one of the 3 rabbits employed.

    Notes: Existing methods for the determination of horizontal aquifer anisotropy by means of pumping tests require a minimum of four wells, one for water withdrawal and three for drawdown observations. This paper shows how the same methods can be used to determine anisotropy with as few as three wells, if at least two of them can be pumped in sequence. A field example is included. A method of analyzing data from more wells than the above minimum, by least squares, is also described.

    Notes: This paper discusses certain of the reasons for deviations from the classical type curve behaviour during pumping tests. A particular series of pumping tests in a confined limestone aquifer is considered; the tests include a step test, a 3-day test and a 71-day test. Using a radial flow numerical model, the influences of transmissivity, storage coefficient altering with radius, a neighbouring baseload borehole and a distant unconfined boundary are each considered. The baseload borehole is shown to have a significant effect on both abstraction and recovery response for the 3-day test, while both the baseload borehole and the unconfined boundary modify the response for the 71-day test.

    Notes: In Pleurotricha lanceolata, the ventral somatic infraciliature presents 13 frontoventral cirri, 5 transverse cirri, one row with 18–19 left marginal cirri and two rows of right marginal cirri of different length. On the dorsal side there are six longitudinal rows of dorsal bristles, four of them bipolar and the other two less than half body length. The oral infraciliature includes the adoral zone of membranelles, with 45–55 membranelles of three or four rows of kinetosomes each, and two undulating membranes (paroral and endoral membranes), each with two rows of kinetosomes. Some structures of the oral and somatic fibrillar systems have also been examined and are similar to those described in other species of hypotrichous ciliates.

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. The relation of humoral antibody response to protection was evaluated in mice immunized with whole homogenates of Trypanosoma cruzi or with its flagellar fraction by direct agglutination and indirect fluorescent antibody test as well as by lytic and neutralizing activity against blood trypomastigotes. The results indicated that lytic antibodies were not implicated directly in protection against these trypanosomes. It was evident from histopathologic examination that the higher the degree of protection achieved, the lower the tissue damage observed in the challenged mice. Serum-neutralizing activity was highest in the groups protected most effectively.

    Notes: Isoproturon controlled Phalaris spp., Lolium spp., Avena sterilis L. and Papaver rhoeas L. in winter cereal crops, the dosages applied being in accordance with the different texture of the soils on which the herbicide was tested in the province of Toledo (Spain).The competitive effects of the weeds, particularly Avena sterilis were ascertained on a range of cereal parameters, not only those influencing yield, but also the grain weight/straw weight ratio.The influence of climatic and edaphic conditions on the efficiency of the herbicide was also investigated.

    Notes: The surface morphology of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites of HM 1:IMSS (axenic and monoxenic) and HK9 (axenic) strains cultured on plastic and MDCK cell substrates was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The conditions for processing trophozoites were determined by comparing the SEM observations with the morphology of living amebas examined by light microscopy. The most frequent surface differentiations in all the amebas observed with SEM were lobopodia. Round cytoplasmic projections were found in approximately half of the axenic amebas. Endocytic stomas and filopodia were more common in monoxenic cultures while the uroid was found in only 2–8% of all examined amebas. The basal surfaces of the trophozoites, involved in both attachment and cytolysis, showed no unusual features, except for the presence of a small number of short filopodia at the outer edge. No differences were found in the morphology of amebas grown on artificial and natural substrates. These observations demonstrate that there are significant quantitative differences in the surface morphology of cultured trophozoites of different strains of E. histolytica and that association with bacteria produces an increase in the relative number of surface specializations of the parasite.

    Notes: A survey of protozoa polluting bottled mineral water in Mexico was carried out using samples obtained from the three best-selling brands of bottled mineral water in the country. The organisms were concentrated through filtration procedures and subsequently cultured in sterile media. The cultures were observed over four weeks, with identification to the level of genus and species. Most commonly found were the amoebae Naegleria gruberi, Acanthamoeba astronyxis, and Vahlkampfia vahlkampfi (trophic as well as cystic stages) plus one flagellate, Bodomorpha minima. No ciliates were detected. The public health importance of the findings is obvious, since some strains of Naegleria and Acanthamoeba have the potential to cause human disease that may lead to death.

    Notes: The objective of this study was to investigate the behaviour of different legumes against salinity and water stress, thus trying to discover simultaneous adaptations to both stresses. The nitrogen fixation, transpiration, predawn leaf water potential, and stomatal response of Medicago sativa L. (cvs. Tierra de Campos and Aragon), Trifolium repens L. (cv. Aberystwyth S-184) and T. brachycalycinum Katzn. et Morley (=T. subterraneum L. cv. Clare) were compared at three levels of stress (0.05, 0.3 and 0.5 MPa of either NaCl or polyethylene glycol 6000) in nutrient solution. The plants were stressed for three days and then returned to control nutrient solution. The changes in the parameters analyzed were dependent on the proportion of stress treatments and the nature of the species, always being greater in plants from PEG than from NaCl solutions. Transfer of lucerne and subclover plants from NaCl at 0.05 MPa to a non-saline medium resulted in an increase of nitrogen fixation above the level of the non-salinized control plants, especially significant in lucerne. Analysis of possible inorganic impurities in commercial PEG suggest that such type of impurities are not responsible for the toxic effects reported. Plant damage resulting from PEG treatment was apparently due to penetrations of PEG (as determined qualitatively by using the tetraiodinebismuthic acid technique) or low-molecular organic impurities into the plant. – The results are discussed as part of the adaptation of the different species to salinity and water stress. The best performance was given by “Tierra de Campos”.
