    Notes: Abstract The molar yield coefficients (Y glucose, Y O 2) of glucose-limited continuous cultures of the thermoacidophile Bacillus acidocaldarius have been measured as a function of dilution rate as well as over a range of temperature and pH (51°C to 64°C, pH 2.8–5.5) at a fixed dilution rate of approximately 0.1 h-1. The highest growth yields were observed at 51°C and pH〉4.3 (Y glucose 54.8 g cells · mol glucose-1, Y O 2 15.0 g cells · mol O 2 -1 ), but were very much lower than those of mesophilic neutrophiles of similar respiratory chain composition to B. acidocaldarius. Even lower growth yields were observed when the temperature was raised or when the pH was lowered, lowest yields occurring at 64°C and pH 2.8 (Y glucose 23.4 g cells · mol glucose-1, Y O 2 5.9 g cells · mol O 2 -1 ). These decreases in growth yield could be correlated with increases in the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane to protons, i.e. cells needed to catalyse enhanced rates of substrate oxidation in order to avoid a potentially lethal acidification of the cytoplasm. This strategy appears to be successful in that the specific death rates in situ were very low for all cultures except those growing under the most extreme conditions (64°C, pH 2.8).

    Notes: Abstract A minimal-salts medium has been optimised to support the growth of the acidophilic thermophilic bacterium Bacillus acidocaldarius. This medium was used during a study of the effect of temperature and pH on the growth rate and growth yield of this organism in batch cultures; a statistical method was used to design the experimental points, and the data were subjected to a response surface analysis which allowed the growth rate and growth yield to be predicted over the entire temperature and pH range from a minimum number of experimental points. The results indicate different responses for growth rate (optimum, 60°C, pH 4.1) and growth yield (optimum tending towards low temperature and neutral pH).

    Notes: A series of hybridomas have been isolated which produce monoclonal antibodies directed against polyprotein gene products of the Gardner, Snyder-Theilen, and McDonough strains of FeSV. Within these are representatives of several immunoglobulin classes including IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG2c, and IgM. Antibody produced by one hybridoma recognizes immunologic determinants localized within an FeLV gag gene structural component (p15) common to polyproteins encoded by all three FeSV isolates whereas antibody produced by a second is specific for p30 determinants unique to P170gag-fms. Additional hybridomas secrete antibody directed against v-fes-encoded determinants common to the Gardner and Snyder-Theilen FeSV-encoded polyproteins. GA P110gag-fes and ST P85gag-fes immunoprecipitated by antibody directed against p15 exhibit tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity but lack such activity when precipitated by antibody specific for their acquired sequence (v-fes) components.

    Notes: The morphological and ultrastructural changes that occur during preparation of porcine, bovine, and murine spermatozoa for flow cytometric quantification of the relative DNA content of the X- and Y-chromosome-bearing sperm populations were examined. Ejaculated spermatozoa from the boar and bull were washed using a series of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions prior to fixation, whereas the epididymal mouse spermatozoa were washed only in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Spermatozoa from all three species were then fixed in ethanol and processed for fluorochrome staining by a treatment regimen consisting of sulfhydryl reduction and proteolysis. The processed sperm nuclei were stained for DNA with the fluorochrome, 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) before quantification by flow cytometry. Scanning and transmission electron micrographs of sperm heads taken at various steps of the preparation and staining procedures show 1) that the rigorous washing procedure disrupted the plasma and outer acrosomal membranes, 2) that ethanol fixation resulted in removal of the outer membranes and disintegration of the nuclear envelope, and 3) that thiol and proteolysis treatment removed the remaining cellular organelles including the tail and rapidly induced partial decondensation of the tightly packed chromatin. Sequential micrographs showed that the nuclear matrix of all three species increased in thickness about twofold during the preparation and staining. Consequently, the harsh procedures currently used for quantitative staining of DNA for high-resolution flow cytometric analyses destroy most cellular organelles and thereby prevent simultaneous characterization of DNA content and other sperm cell constituents.
