    Notes: In this communication we report the first successful transformation of Lactobacillus delbrückii ssp. lactis WS97 with plasmid DNA by means of electroporation and describe the optimization of the transformation procedure for this strain. Efficiencies of electroporation varied between 102 to 104 transformants per μg pGK12, depending on the strain from which the DNA was isolated. The application of electroporation in molecular cloning was achieved by using the newly constructed origin screening vector, pAZ8. The replication origins of two cryptic plasmids were cloned. These plasmids were isolated from a thermophilic Lactobacillus strain Lb. delbrückii ssp. lactis WS97 and a mesophilic Lactobacillus strain Lb. casei NCDO151 which are both used in the dairy industry as starter cultures.

    Notes: Yersinia enterocolitica counts of inoculated beef and pork as determined from confirmed isolates picked from trypticase soy agar plates were similar to the counts of confirmed enamel-black colonies on bismuth sulfite agar plates. With three strains of Y. enterocolitica increases in count occurred on raw beef held over a 10-day period at 0–1°C. When inoculated raw or cooked beef and pork were stored at 7°C (0–10 days) or at 25°C (0–24 hr) large increases in Y. enterocolitica count occurred. At 25°C the increases in Y. enterocolitica counts were somewhat greater on cooked than on raw products. These differences in count may have been caused by (a) differences in the physicochemical characteristics of the meat (raw vs cooked) and/or (b) differences in the level and type of microbial flora that developed on these products. In addition to Y. enterocolitica, Staphylococcus and Micrococcus spp. often were dominant on cooked products, Pseudomonas and Microbacterium spp. on raw meats.

    Notes: Characteristics are presented for Yersiniu enterocoliticu-like organisms isolated from vacuum-packaged beef and lamb stored for 21-35 days at l-3°C. Isolation of this organism was more frequent after 28 days of storage under vacuum conditions than under nonvacuum conditions (leaker packages). A higher incidence of isolates was obtained from cuts packaged under high vacuum conditions.

    Notes: A qualitative screening revealed the occurrence of lipase, esterase, protease, amylase, endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase, xylanase, pectinmethylesterase, polygalacturonase, catalase, β-D-glucosidase and β-D-galactosidase activities in the technical Aspergillus niger enzyme under study (Lipase 2212 D, Röhm). The isolation and purification of lipolytic activities were performed by combination of DEAE-Trisacryl M ion exchange chromatography, Sephadex G 50 gel filtration and hydrophobic chromatography using Phenylsepharose CL-4B. The individual purification steps were checked by specific enzyme visualization in ultrathin agar gels after ultrathin-layer isoelectric focusing (UIEF). Two UIEF homogeneous lipase isoenzymes (I and II) were isolated and characterized by the following parameters: isoelectric points (I: 4.0; II. 3.5); molecular weights (I: 31000 daltons; II: 19000 daltons); carbohydrate contents (I: 6%; II: 9%) and compositions; pH optima (I, II: 5-6); substrate specificities and various effectors.

    Notes: A comparison of three relatively rapid methods of determining free fatty acids concentrations in cheese was performed by correlating the results with a more laborious but accurate gas chromatographic (GC) technique. Acid Degree Values were found to correlate poorly with the GC data, particularly for short chain fatty acids. Values obtained using a Copper Soap Method correlated closely with the GC data for total and long chain fatty acids, but did not correlate as well with short chain fatty acids levels. The Extraction-Titration Method was found to be a simple and reliable technique that yielded values which correlate closely with short chain fatty acid concentrations.

    Notes: A fast and reliable Multiplex-PCR assay was established to identify the species Lactobacillus johnsonii. Two opposing rRNA gene-targeted primers have been designed for this specific PCR detection. Specificity was verified with DNA samples isolated from different lactic acid bacteria. Out of 47 Lactobacillus strains isolated from different environments, 16 were identified as L. johnsonii by PCR. The same set of strains was investigated with five alternative molecular typing methods: enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR), repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (REP-PCR), amplified fragment length polymorphism, single triplicate arbitrarily primed PCR, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis in order to compare the discriminatory power of these methods. The reported data strongly support the highly significant heterogeneity among all L. johnsonii isolates, potentially linked to their origin of isolation. The use of species-specific primers as well as rapid and highly powerful PCR-based molecular typing tools (namely ERIC- and REP-PCR techniques) should be respectively envisaged for identifying, differentiating and monitoring L. johnsonii strains from various environmental samples, for product monitoring, for species tracing in clinical studies as well as bacterial profiling of various microecological or gastrointestinal environments.

    Notes: The detection of ancient microbial DNA offers a new approach for the study of infectious diseases, their occurrence, frequency and host–pathogen interaction in historic times and populations. Moreover, data obtained from skeletal and mummified tissue may represent an important completion of contemporary phylogenetic analyses of pathogens. In the last few years, a variety of bacterial, protozoal and viral infections have been detected in ancient tissue samples by amplification and characterization of specific DNA fragments. This holds particularly true for the identification of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which seems to be more robust than other microbes due to its waxy, hydrophobic and lipid-rich cell wall. These observations provided useful information about the occurrence, but also the frequency of tuberculosis in former populations. Moreover, these studies suggest new evolutionary models and indicate the route of transmission between human and animals. Until now, other pathogens, such as Mycobacterium leprae, Yersinia pestis, Plasmodium falciparum and others, have occasionally been identified – mostly in single case studies or small sample sizes – as well, although much less information is available on these pathogens in ancient settings. The main reason therefore seems to be the degradation and modification of ancient DNA by progressive oxidative damage. Furthermore, the constant risk of contamination by recent DNA forces to take time and cost effective measures and renders the analysis of ancient microbes difficult. Nevertheless, the study of microbial ancient DNA significantly contributes to the understanding of transmission and spread of infectious diseases, and potentially to the evolution and phylogenetic pathways of pathogens.

    Notes: The effect of a pipeline corridor constructed through an ecological reserve in Southern California was investigated by assessing plant species composition and soil chemistry. A homogeneous plant community comprised primarily of exotic annuals was found along the entire length of the corridor. This community has low similarity to the adjacent native plant communities. Soil organic matter was significantly less on the disturbed corridor than in contiguous undisturbed areas. Both available nitrogen and extractable phosphorus values were greater in the disturbed corridor. By contrast, total nitrogen was significantly higher outside the pipeline. The more labile litter of the exotic annuals allows increased mineralization along the corridor than does the more recalcitrant litter of the native perennial shrubs in the undisturbed areas. Once established, the weedy exotic annual litter may completely turn over organic matter and nitrogen, favoring the persistence of the weedy annuals. These exotic annuals appear to be moving into three of the native communities - grassland, coastal sage, and oak woodland - that have less organic matter and a more open plant canopy. Poor restoration efforts can lead to the establishment of such exotics, subsequent invasion into the surrounding undisturbed habitat, and degradation of the reserve.

    Notes: Uptake of [15N]-ammonia was more sensitive to UV-B exposure than the total 14CO2 fixation rate of Lithodesmium variabile Takano. Short-term UV-B radiation (15 min) had practically no effect on the kinetics of [15N]-ammonia, whereas there was an effect on [14C]-bicarbonate uptake rate. A significant reduction was found after 30 and 60 min UV-B stress. The time course of photosynthetic uptake of 15NH4Cl at several wavelengths was markedly depressed at shorter wavelengths (irradiation with WG 280). A short-term (11 min) exposure to ultraviolet radiation had no influence on the [14C]-labeled photosynthetic products. However, the [15N]-label of several amino acids and the ratio of [15N]-glutamine to [15N]-glutamic acid varied after irradiation with different ultraviolet wavebands. The results are discussed with reference to UV damage to the key enzymes of nitrogen metabolism.
