    Notes: Pore-forming activity in planar lipid bilayers and liposomes of extracts from differentially pathogenic Entamoeba and the-capacity of trophozoites and subcellular fractions to lyse human red blood cells (hrbc) were investigated. In all amebas studied, the two activities paralleled each other. They were high in E. histolytica irrespective of the virulence of the particular strain, but low in non-pathogenic E. histolytica-like amebas of human origin as well as in E. invadens, which is pathogenic for reptiles, and in E. moshkovskii isolated from sewage. We conclude that the capacities to insert pores and to lyse are not sufficient for virulence although they may be necessary.The subcellular distribution of the hemolytic activity of E. histolytica and its sensitivity to a variety of inhibitors and activators differ from those of other known amebic cytotoxic activities including pore formation. Therefore, there may be an additional constituent of E. histolytica involved in the cytotoxicity of the parasite.

    Notes: The two unit membranes which envelope the endosymbiont of the trypanosomatid protozoon, Blastocrithidia culicis, were studied using the freeze-fracture technique. The distribution of the intramembranous particles on both fracture faces of the inner and outer membrane of the endosymbiont was analyzed in the replicas. The protoplasmic face of the inner membrane (PFi) had a higher density of membrane particles than that observed on the extracellular face (EFi), a pattern typical of plasma membranes. The extracellular face of the outer membrane (EFo) presented a density of membrane particles much higher than that observed on the P face of the outer membrane (PFo) a distribution significantly different from that found in the inner membrane of the endosymbiont and in the plasma membrane of the protozoon, but similar to that observed in Gram-negative bacteria. The data obtained support the idea that the endosymbiont of trypanosomatids represents a Gram-negative bacterium-like microorganism enveloped by two unit membranes and lacking a peptidoglycan layer and which lives in direct contact with the cytoplasm of the protozoon.

    Effects of Glycogen on Food Vacuole Formation in Parameium caudatum (1988)

    Notes: Paramecium caudatum syngen 3 could not reproduce in the defined medium (DM) which had been developed for P. octaurelia stock 299, but we succeeded in culturing it in DM supplemented with glycogen. The number of food vacuoles which formed in 5 and 10 min at 25°C in the DM alone was greater in comparison with the DM supplemented with glycogen. These results showed that the high molecular weight substance which needed to be added to a defined medium for the cultivation of Paramecium did not always support cell reproduction by stimulating food vacuole formation.

    Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins from Plants Inhibit Ribosome Activity of Trypanosoma and Leishmania (1988)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Ribosomes from Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and from Leishmania infantum were isolated and optimal conditions for in vitro translation were established. The effect of ribosome-inactivating proteins extracted from several plants was then assessed in order to identify those suitable for the preparation of immunotoxins against these organisms. Ribosomes from both species were inactivated by some ribosome-inactivating proteins (dianthins, saporins, pokeweed antiviral proteins, and the ribosome-inactivating chain of abrin). The similarity of the effects on the ribosomes from the two species examined indicates that ribosome-inactivating proteins should also be effective in a similar way on ribosomes from other species of Trypanosoma and Leishmania.

    Euplotes Cytoskeleton: Tubulin and Microtubular Systems in Interphase, (1988)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: The Euplotes cytoskeleton obtained by treatment with Triton X-100 in a microtubule-stabilizing buffer has been studied by electron microscopy and SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis. An antiserum has been prepared using the tubulin band from preparative gels of Euplotes cytoskeletons as an antigen. This antiserum reacts with the tubulin from different ciliated protozoa but fails to recognize the vertebrate tubulin by immunoblotting. Immunoblotting studies have demonstrated a slower electrophoretic mobility for the α-tubulin of Euplotes and Oxytricha than that of Paramecium and Tetrahymena. A cytoplasmic microtubular network in Euplotes has been revealed by indirect immunoftuorescence using both an anti-α-tubulin monoclonal antibody directed against chick brain tubulin and an antiserum raised against the tubulin of Euplotes.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Some physical and chemical properties of DNA isolated from the dinoflagellate Woloszynskia bostoniensis were determined. Analytical cesium chloride gradient centrifugation gave a major component and a minor component banding at 1.719 and 1.693 g/cm, respectively. Thermal denaturation in 0.1 SSC showed a broad transition with a Tm of 70.5° C. Derivation of this curve indicated that two components were present having Tm values of 66° C and 70° C. Base composition analysis showed a GC content of 48.1% and a high degree of thymine replacement by 5-hydroxymethyluracil. Two minor bases, identified as 5-methylcytosine and N6-methyladenine, were also detected. Reassociation kinetics showed a typical eukaryotic reassociation pattern with 45% repetitive and 55% single copy sequences.

    Notes: . Cysts of Giardia microti, isolated from feces and intestinal contents of Microtus ochrogaster, were examined by light and electron microscopy. These cysts differed morphologically from cysts of other G. duodenalis morphological types in that these cysts often contained two apparently differentiated trophozoites with mature ventral discs. Cysts more closely resembling those reported for G. lamblia and G. muris were in greater abundance in preparations made from intestinal contents and were interpreted as immature cysts. “Multiple fission” cysts, reported in G. muris and G. microti by earlier workers, were not observed; however, endosymbiotic bacteria were found in the cysts of G. microti and may have been responsible for reports of multiple fission in the cysts of Giardia.

    Lagenophrys anticthos N. Sp. and L. aegleae Mouchet-Bennati, 1932 (Ciliophora, Peritricha, Lagenophryidae), Ectocommensals of South American Crustaceans (1988)

    Notes: . Lagenophrys anticthos n. sp. resembles L. aegleae Mouchet-Bennati; however, the two species are distinguished from one another by differences in the structure of the lorica aperture. Similarities in the shape of the lorica and macronucleus indicate a close phylogenetic relationship between L. anticthos and L. aegleae. The size of L. anticthos varies greatly within a population, and it is unclear whether this can be attributed to genetic differences or to environmental factors. In L. anticthos, variation in the form of the lips of the lorica aperture is correlated with variation in size. The brown, iron-rich incrustations observed around the loricae of L. aegleae by an earlier worker were not seen, indicating that the incrustations do not play a role in the symbiosis between L. aegleae and its host as was previously thought.

    Gamone Production in Large-Scale Cultures of Euplotes octocarinatus (1988)

    Notes: We report a method that allows us to grow and maintain the freshwater ciliate Euplotes octocarinatus in large quantities. Frequent exchange of culture fluid proved more effective than aeration in obtaining high cell densities (4200 cells/ml) and reasonable doubling times in large-scale cultures. For harvesting gamone 1, the cell density was raised to 10,000 cells/ml. Under these conditions, the cells continued to produce and secrete gamone; they were slightly starved, but they no longer divided. Cell-free fluid with a steady and relatively high yield of gamone was obtained from two such cultures over a period of five months. We isolated gamone 1 also from cell homogenates and compared it with secreted gamone 1, but found no differences in the gamones from these two sources.

    Ultrastructural Features of Three Ectocommensal Protozoa Attached to the Gills of the Red Swamp Crawfish, Procambarus clarkii (Crustacea: Decapoda) (1988)

    Notes: Because heavy branchial infestations are thought to interfere with respiration, we examined the attachment of three stalked ciliates commonly found in the branchial chambers of Louisiana crawfish. Attachments by Cothurnia sp., Epistylis sp. and Acineta sp. differ in their fine structure. Stalks of the peritrichous ciliates. Cothurnia and Epistylis, contain striated tubules that differ in their arrangement, diameter, and in the periodicity of their striations. In both species the striated tubules branch within the basal disk and attach to a pad of adhesive material secreted by the organism during initial attachment to the gill surface. The stalk of the suctorian Acineta is composed of a striated honeycomb-like matrix. Within the basal disc the matrix is disorganized; however, striated elements anchor the stalk to a pad of adhesive material. Attachment sites also differ in the amount of secretory material deposited. Cothurnia forms a multi-layered, granular pad; Epistylis forms an indistinct, microfibrillar layer, and Acineta deposits a thick mucoid pad. None of the ciliates appear to damage the gill epicuticle nor is there an obvious host response. Harmful effects are probably limited to a decrease in respiratory surface area and disruption of normal water flow patterns. This may impair respiration sufficiently to increase the susceptibility of crawfish to low dissolved oxygen concentrations encountered periodically in commercial crawfish ponds.
