    Notes: Summary In phenotype the mycoplasmas are very different from ordinary bacteria. However, genotypically (i.e., phylogenetically) they are not. On the basis of ribosomal RNA homologies the mycoplasmas belong with the clostridia, and indeed havespecific clostridial relatives. Mycoplasmas are, however, unlike almost all other bacteria in the evolutionary characteristics of their ribosomal RNAs. These RNAs contain relatively few of the highly conserved oligonucleotide sequences characteristic of normal eubacterial ribosomal RNAs. This is interpreted to be a reflection of an elevated mutation rate in mycoplasma lines of descent. A general consequence of this would be that the variation associated with a mycoplasma population is augmented both in number and kind, which in turn would lead to an unusual evolutionary course, one unique in all respects. Mycoplasmas, then, are actually tachytelic bacteria. The unusual evolutionary characteristics of their ribosomal RNAs are the imprints of their rapid evolution.

    Notes: Abstract It was known that nitrogenase genes and proteins are well conserved even though they are present in a large variety of phylogenetically diverse nitrogen fixing bacteria. This has lead to the speculation, among others, that nitrogen fixation (nif) genes were spread by lateral gene transfer relatively late in evolution. Here we report an attempt to test this hypothesis. We had previously established the complete nucleotide sequences of the three nitrogenase genes from Bradyrhizobium japonicum, and have now analyzed their homologies (or the amino acid sequence homologies of their gene products) with corresponding genes (and proteins) from other nitrogen fixing bacteria. There was a considerable sequence conservation which certainly reflects the strict structural requirements of the nitrogenase iron-sulfur proteins for catalytic functioning. Despite this, the sequences were divergent enough to classify them into an evolutionary scheme that was conceptually not different from the phylogenetic positions, based on 16S rRNA homology, of the species or genera harboring these genes. Only the relation of nif genes of slow-growing rhizobia (to which B. japonicum belongs) and fast-growing rhizobia was unexpectedly distant. We have, therefore, performed oligonucleotide cataloguing of their 16S rRNA, and found that there was indeed only a similarity of S AB=0.53 between fast- and slowgrowing rhizobia. In conclusion, the results suggest that nif genes may have evolved to a large degree in a similar fashion as the bacteria which carry them. This interpretation would speak against the idea of a recent lateral distribution of nif genes among microorganisms.

    Notes: Abstract In this study, we report on first 16S rRNA gene sequences from highly saline brine sediments taken at a depth of 1,515 m in the Kebrit Deep, northern Red Sea. Microbial DNA extracted directly from the sediments was subjected to PCR amplification with primers specific for bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene sequences. The PCR products were cloned, and a total of 11 (6 bacterial and 5 archaeal) clone types were determined by restriction endonuclease digestion. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that most of the cloned sequences were unique, showing no close association with sequences of cultivated organisms or sequences derived from environmental samples. The bacterial clone sequences form a novel phylogenetic lineage (KB1 group) that branches between the Aquificales and the Thermotogales. The archaeal clone sequences group within the Euryarchaeota. Some of the sequences cluster with the group II and group III uncultivated archaea sequence clones, while two clone groups form separate branches. Our results suggest that hitherto unknown archaea and bacteria may thrive in highly saline brines of the Red Sea under extreme environmental conditions.

    Description / Table of Contents: NH-acidic Behaviour of Imidazole in the Course of the Thermal Degradation of its Bis(adducts) with Transition Metal 1,3-DiketonatesThe behaviour of complexes of the type M(O—O)2(HIm)2 (O—O = 1,3-diketonate, HIm = imidazole, M = Co, Ni, Cu) in the course of the thermal degradation is different. In the case of M(acac)2(HIm)2 in the first step acetylacetone is split off. By proton transfer from imidazole to the acetylacetonato ligands the bis(imidazolates) M(Im)2 are formed, which, at higher temperatures eliminate both imidazolyl residues, probably as 1H, 1H′-(2,2′)-bisimidazolyl.The thermal degradation of M(bzac)2(HIm)2 or M(dbm)2(HIm)2 (Hbzac = benzoylacetone, Hdbm dibenzoylmethane) starts with the partial elimination of imidazole. The intermediates M(bzac)(Im) or M(dbm)(Im) are obtained, and the final product of thermal degradation is the metal oxide.The main reasons for the different thermal behaviour of the complexes M(O—O)2(HIm)2 are differences in the volatility of the 1,3-diketones and probably in the molecular structures.
    Notes: Komplexe des Typs M(O—O)2(HIm)2 (O—O = 1,3-Diketonat; HIm = Imidazol; M = Co, Ni, Cu) zeigen beim thermischen Abbau ein differenziertes Verhalten. Im Falle von M(acac)2(HIm)2 wird in den ersten Stufen Acetylaceton abgespalten. Unter Protonenübertragung von Imidazol auf die Acetylacetonat-Liganden entstehen Bis-Imidazolate M(Im)2, die bei höherer Temperatur die Imidazolylreste wahrscheinlich als 1H, ′H-(2,2′)-Bisimidazolyl eliminieren.Der thermische Abbau von M(bzac)2(HIm)2 bzw. M(dbm)2(HIm)2 (Hbzac = Benzoylaceton, Hdbm = Dibenzoylmethan) beginnt mit der partiellen Abspaltung von Imidazol. Es wird ein Zwischenprodukt der Zusammensetzung M(bzac)(Im) bzw. M(dbm)(Im) erhalten. Anorganisches Endprodukt des Abbaus ist das Metalloxid.Wesentliche Gründe für das differenzierte Verhalten der Komplexe des Typs M(O—O)(HIm)2 beim thermischen Abbau werden in der unterschiedlichen Flüchtigkeit der 1,3-Diketone und in Strukturunterschieden gesehen.
