    Notes: A lower national minimum wage for 18- to 21-year-olds and the exclusion of all workers under 18 prompted fears of a distortion in the British labour market and an undermining of training initiatives. Empirical data collected from employers in two low paying sectors, revealing the full utilisation of young workers and under-utilisation of training initiatives, ensure these fears are not justified and that the government's basis for the lower rate cannot be substantiated.

    Localization – an alternative to corporate-led globalization (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: In the aftermath of 11 September, there has been a growing recognition that an increasingly unequal world is not only morally unacceptable but also deeply insecure. This paper defines globalization as economic, corporate-led globalization, a process that impacts every facet of our life. For illustrative purposes, this paper will briefly examine the role played by the globalization process in exacerbating the gap between rich and poor. It will make the case that, contrary to popular wisdom, there is nothing inevitable about this process. One such alternative is localization – a set of interrelated and self-reinforcing policies that actively discriminate in favour of the more local, whenever it is feasible and reasonable.

    Notes: Abstract Cyanobacterial mats developed on fine sandy sediments of the upper littoral of the island of Mellum (North Sea). Freshly colonized sediment was dominated by the non-heterocystous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Oscillatoria limosa. Well established mats in which the cosmopolitan cyanobacterium Microcoleus chthonoplastes was the dominant organism also usually contained O. limosa as a minor component. This mat was about 1 mm thick and contained high biomass. Photosynthesis was maximal at about 150 μm depth and reached values of 280 μmol oxygen. 1−1 ? min−1. On the other hand, in the dark, high respiratory activity turned the mat anaerobic within minutes. Freshly colonized sediment consisted of low cyanobacterial biomass loosely attached to the sand grains and present up to a depth of 2.5 mm. Respiratory activity was low and the sediment remained aerobic to a depth of 2 mm throughout the night. Nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) was measured during 24-h periods in both types of mats in order to elucidate interactions with oxygenic photosynthesis and oxygen concentration. Acetylene reduction in the mats showed very different diurnal patterns which depended on the type of mat investigated and the time of year. The results indicated that a temporary separation of oxygenic photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation occurred in the mat. Established mats fixed nitrogen predominantly during the transition from dark to light and vice versa, when oxygenic photosynthesis was reduced or absent. Freshly colonized sediment-fixed nitrogen throughout the night but often a stimulation was seen at dawn. The latter showed much higher specific activities than the established type. Also in spring, specific activities were much higher.

    Notes: Forty seven strains of cyanobacteria, all isolated from microbial mats of intertidal sediments of the island of Mellum (North Sea), were analyzed for the presence of organic osmotica. The cyanobacteria examined belonged to taxonomically different groups and were classified according to their salt optimum and salt tolerance as either freshwater, brackish or marine. Except betaine, all organic osmotica known to occur in cyanobacteria, were found. The results showed no clear correlation between the chemical nature of the organic solute and the salt optimum or salt tolerance of the cyanobacteria examined, indicating that these solutes are not specific to this marine habitat. All strains belonging to the Nostoc/Anabea-group accumulated sucrose as the sole organic osmoticum. The marine, heterocystous Calothrix sp. accumulated trehalose. All strains of the LPP-group (Lyngbya, Plectonema, Phormidium) accumulated glucosylglycerol as sole or primary organic solute. Some LPP-strains accumulated a disaccharide as a secundary solute, e.g. sucrose or trehalose. Gloeocapsa, Synechocystis and Spirulina accumulated glucosylglycerol. Two marine Oscillatoria accumulated trehalose, whereas a freshwater Oscillatoria with a broad salinity tolerance, accumulated sucrose.Analysis of field samples of the microbial mats demonstrated the presence of glycerol, glucosylglycerol, sucrose and trehalose. The relative abundance of the different compounds was related to the species composition as could be predicted from laboratory observations. These data suggest that these carbohydrates have a function in maintaining osmotic balance in the organisms within the microbial mat.

    Structure and development of a benthic marine microbial mat (1985)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    FEMS microbiology letters 31 (1985), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Vertically stratified microbial communities of phototrophic bacteria in the upper intertidal zones of the North Sea island of Mellum were investigated. Growth and population dynamics of the cyanobacterial mat were followed over three successive years. It was concluded that the initial colonization of the sandy sediments was by the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria. In well-established mats, however, the dominant organism was Microcoleus chthonoplastes. The observed succession of cyanobacteria during mat development is correlated with nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen fixation is necessary in this low-nutrient environment to ensure colonization by mat-constructing cyanobacteria. Under certain conditions, a red layer of purple sulfur bacteria developed underneath the cyanobacterial mat in which Chromatium and Thiocapsa spp. dominated, but Thiopedia and Ectothiorhodospira spp. have also been observed. Measurements of light penetrating the cyanobacterial mat indicated that sufficient light is available for the photosynthetic growth of purple sulfur bacteria. Profiles of oxygen, sulfide and redox potential within the microbial mat were measured using microelectrodes. Maximum oxygen concentrations, measured at a depth of 0.7 mm, reached levels more than twice the normal air saturation. Dissolved sulfide was not detected by the microelectrodes. Determination of acid-distilled sulfide, however, revealed appreciable amounts of bound sulfide in the mat. Redox profiles measured in the mat led to the conclusion that the upper 10 mm of the sedimentary sequence is in a relatively oxidized state.

    Notes: Abstract 23 cheese coryneform bacteria (14 orange, 3 white, and 6 yellow-pigmented) were examined for five enzymes of two branch-point steps in the catabolic pathways of l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine. Orange cheese coryneforms (‘Brevibacterium linens’) catabolized th amino acids by transamination and the benzene ring was cleaved by 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetate-2, 3-dioxygenase. Both enzymes appear to be inducible. Yellow and white strains possessed non-inducible low activity of aminotransferase and lacked completely benzene ring cleavage enzymes.

    Notes: Abstract Pichia sorbitophila, a yeast species that is highly resistant to osmotic stress in general and to salt stress in particular, was subjected to a mutagenesis strategy in order to obtain mutants deficient in the glycerol active uptake previously described. Density centrifugation was used for enrichment of NaCl sensitive mutants in either glucose or glycerol media. Several phenotypic classes of mutants were identified, to which physiological tests were applied concerning the activity of the symporter, its accumulation capacity and the detection of the activity of glycerol pathway specific enzymes. From these, two mutant strains were selected, presenting a clearly deficient phenotype on H+/glycerol symport activity.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The cyanobacterium Microcystis PCC7806 was found to possess an NAD-dependent lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) which catalyzes the reduction of pyruvate to l-lactate. The enzyme required fructose 1,6-bisphosphate for activity and displayed positive cooperativity towards pyruvate. Lactate was not formed during fermentation by cell suspensions, possibly due to low intracellular concentrations of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and/or pyruvate.

    Bacterial involvement in apatite genesis (1990)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Details

    Notes: Abstract Bacteria initiated apatite genesis from organic matter in laboratory-controlled conditions. However, the synthesis of apatite, which takes place from inorganic phosphate and aragonite (CaCO3), appears to be independent of the presence of microorganisms. In vitro experiments using bacterial alkaline phosphatase or calf intestine phosphatase in a definite sterile medium in which the phosphorus source is represented by nucleotides from total yeast RNA, and in vivo experiments with Escherichia coli constitutive alkaline phosphatase mutants, showed the involvement of the alkaline phosphatase with releasing inorganic phosphate in the medium. A strain identified as Providencia rettgeri which in the presence of RNA converts the aragonite to apatite in a few days was isolated from a non-sterile assay. Such a mechanism is proposed to explain the natural formation of apatite in sediments.
