    Notes: Summary Some evolutionary consequences of different rates and trends in DNA damage and repair are explained. Different types of DNA damaging agents cause nonrandom lesions along the DNA. The type of DNA sequence motifs to be preferentially attacked depends upon the chemical or physical nature of the assaulting agent and the DNA base composition. Higher-order chromatin structure, the nonrandom nucleosome positioning along the DNA, the absence of nucleosomes from the promoter regions of active genes, curved DNA, the presence of sequence-specific binding proteins, and the torsional strain on the DNA induced by an increased transcriptional activity all are expected to affect rates of damage of individual genes. Furthermore, potential Z-DNA, H-DNA, slippage, and cruciform structures in the regulatory region of some genes or in other genomic loci induced by torsional strain on the DNA are more prone to modification by genotoxic agents. A specific actively transcribed gene may be preferentially damaged over nontranscribed genes only in specific cell types that maintain this gene in active chromatin fractions because of (1) its decondensed chromatin structure, (2) torsional strain in its DNA, (3) absence of nucleosomes from its regulatory region, and (4) altered nucleosome structure in its coding sequence due to the presence of modified histones and HMG proteins. The situation in this regard of germ cell lineages is, of course, the only one to intervene in evolution. Most lesions in DNA such as those caused by UV or DNA alkylating agents tend to diminish the GC content of genomes. Thus, DNA sequences not bound by selective constraints, such as pseudogenes, will show an increase in their AT content during evolution as evidenced by experimental observations. On the other hand, transcriptionally active parts may be repaired at rates higher than inactive parts of the genome, and proliferating cells may display higher repair activities than quiescent cells. This might arise from a tight coupling of the repair process with both transcription and replication, all these processes taking place on the nuclear matrix. Repair activities differ greatly among species, and there is a good correlation between life span and repair among mammals. It is predicted that genes that are transcriptionally active in germ-cell lineages have a lower mutation rate than bulk DNA, a circumstance that is expected to be reflected in evolution. Exception to this rule might be genes containing potential Z-DNA, H-DNA, or cruciform structures in their coding or regulatory regions that appear to be refractory to repair. This study supports the molecular clock hypothesis when applied to one gene within a group of related species and contends that evolutionary rates might vary between genes and gene segments not only as a result of differences in selective constraints but also as a result of differences in the rate of damage minus rate of repair among different segments of chromatin DNA.

    Notes: Summary Urate oxidase was lost in hominoids during primate evolution. The mechanism and biological reason for this loss remain unknown. In an attempt to address these questions, we analyzed the sequence of urate oxidase genes from four species of hominoids: human (Homo sapiens), chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), and gibbon (Hylobates). Two nonsense mutations at codon positions 33 and 187 and an aberrant splice site were found in the human gene. These three deleterious mutations were also identified in the chimpanzee. The nonsense mutation at codon 33 was observed in the orangutan urate oxidase gene. None of the three mutations was present in the gibbon; in contrast, a 13-bp deletion was identified that disrupted the gibbon urate oxidase reading frame. These results suggest that the loss of urate oxidase during the evolution of hominoids could be caused by two independent events after the divergence of the gibbon lineage; the nonsense mutation at codon position 33 resulted in the loss of urate oxidase activity in the human, chimpanzee, and orangutan, whereas the 13-bp deletion was responsible for the urate oxidase deficiency in the gibbon. Because the disruption of a functional gene by independent events in two different evolutionary lineages is unlikely to occur on a chance basis, our data favor the hypothesis that the loss of urate oxidase may have evolutionary advantages.

    Notes: Summary A codon-based approach to estimating the number of variable sites in a protein is presented. When first and second positions of codons are assumed to be replacement positions, a capture-recapture model can be used to estimate the number of variable codons from every pair of homologous and aligned sequences. The capture-recapture estimate is compared to a maximum likelihood estimate of the number of variable codons and to previous approaches that estimate the number of variable sites (not codons) in a sequence. Computer simulations are presented that show under which circumstances the capture-recapture estimate can be used to correct biases in distance matrices. Analysis of published sequences of two genes, calmodulin and serum albumin, shows that distance corrections that employ a capture-recapture estimate of the number of variable sites may be considerably different from corrections that assume that the number of variable sites is equal to the total number of positions in the sequence.

    Notes: Summary 1. Certain species of tiger moths emit clicks when stimulated by bat-like sounds. These clicks are generated by modified thoracic episterna (tymbals) (Fig. 1) and constitute a rhythmic behaviour activated by simple sensory input. 2. Tymbal periods are indirectly related to stimulus intensity and periods (Fig. 3). Moths initiate sounds with the tymbal opposite to the stimulated ear and once a sequence commences it continues in an undisrupted fashion. 3. The tymbal is innervated by a pleural branch (IIIN2a) of the metathoracic leg nerve, a similar anatomy to that in the unmodified episterna of silent moths (Fig. 5). Backfills of the IIIN2a in Cycnia tenera reveal sensory fibres and a cluster of 5–9 motor neurons with densely overlying dendritic fields (Fig. 6). 4. Extracellular recordings of the IIIN2a reveal a large impulse preceding each tymbal sound (Fig. 7). I suggest that this impulse results from the synchronous firing of 2–3 motor neurons and is the motor output of the tymbal central pattern generator (CPG). The spikes alternate (Figs. 9, 10) and are bilaterally co-related (Fig. 11) but with an phase asymmetry of 2–3 ms (Fig. 12). 5. Normal motor output continues in the absence of tymbal sounds (Fig. 13) and when all nerve-tymbal connections are severed (Fig. 14, Table 1) therefore this CPG operates independent of sensory feedback. A model is proposed for the tymbal circuitry based upon the present data and the auditory organization of related noctuid moths (Fig. 15). I propose that the tymbal response in modern arctiids evolved from either flight or walking CPGs and that preadaptive circuitry ancestral to tymbal movements still exists in modern silent Lepidoptera.

    Notes: Summary The evolutionary tuning between floral colouration and the colour vision of flower-visiting Hymenoptera is quantified by evaluating the informational transfer from the signalling flower to the perceiving pollinator. The analysis of 180 spectral reflection spectra of angiosperm blossoms reveals that sharp steps occur precisely at those wavelengths where the pollinators are most sensitive to spectral differences. Straight-forward model calculations determine the optimal set of 3 spectral photoreceptor types for discrimination of floral colour signals on the basis of perceptual difference values. The results show good agreement with the sets of photoreceptors characterized electrophysiologically in 40 species of Hymenoptera.

    Notes: Summary The protein sequences of 18 class A β-lactamases and 2 class C β-lactamases were analyzed to produce a rooted phylogenetic tree using the DD peptidase of Streptomyces R61 as an outgroup. This tree supports the penicillin-binding proteins as the most likely candidate for the ancestoral origin of the class A and class C β-lactamases, these proteins diverging from a common evolutionary origin close to the DD peptidase. The actinomycetes are clearly shown as the origin of the class A β-lactamases found in other non-actinomycete species. The tree also divides the β-lactamases from the Streptomyces into two subgroups. One subgroup is closer to the DD peptidase root. The other Streptomyces subgroup shares a common branch point with the rest of the class A β-lactamases, showing this subgroup as the origin of the non-actinomycete class A β-lactamases. The non-actinomycete class A β-lactamase phylogenetic tree suggests a spread of these β-lactamases by horizontal transfer from the Streptomyces into the non-actinomycete gram-positive bacteria and thence into the gram-negative bacteria. The phylogenetic tree of the Streptomyces class A β-lactamases supports the possibility that horizontal transfer of class A β-lactamases occurred within the Streptomyces.

    Notes: Summary Amino acid sequences of primases and associated helicases involved in the DNA replication of eubacteria and bacteriophages T7, T3, T4, P4, and P22 were compared by computer-assisted methods. There are two types of such systems, the first one represented by distinct helicase and primase proteins (e.g., DnaB and DnaG proteins of Escherichia coli), and the second one by single polypeptides comprising both activities (gp4 of bacteriophages T7 and T3, and alpha protein of bacteriophage P4). Pronounced sequence similarity was revealed between approximately 250 amino acid residue N-terminal domains of stand-alone primases and the primase-helicase proteins of T7(T3) and P4. All these domains contain, close to their N-termini, a conserved Zn-finger pattern that may be implicated in template DNA recognition by the primases. In addition, they encompass five other conserved motifs some of which may be involved in substrate (NTP) binding. Significant similarity was also observed between the primase-associated helicases (DnaB, gp12 of P22 and gp41 of T4) and the C-terminal domain of T7(T3) gp4. On the other hand the C-terminal domain of P-alpha of P4 is related to another group of DNA and RNA helicases. Tentative phylogenetic trees generated for the primases and the associated helicases showed no grouping of the phage proteins, with the exception of the primase domains of bacteriophages T4 and P4. This may indicate a common origin for one-component primase-helicase systems. Two scenarios for the evolution of primase-helicase systems are discussed. The first one involves fusion of the primase and helicase components (T7 and T3) or fusion of the primase component with a different type of helicase domain (P4). The second possibility is the duplication of an ancestral gene encoding a gp4-like bifunctional protein followed by divergence of the copies, one of which retains the primase and the other the helicase domain.

    Notes: Summary Five genotypes of Trifolium repens and Lolium perenne were collected as neighbouring pairs along a fertility gradient in a natural pasture. After vegetative multiplication, the 25 possible combinations of Lolium genotype x Trifolium genotype were planted in the greenhouse in order to investigate competition between the genotypes. The comparison of the five combinations whose individual components had been neighbours with the combinations of genotypes that had not coexisted before disclosed no difference in total biomass production over 7 months. However, the yield of Trifolium increased when grown with the Lolium genotype which had been its natural neighbour, while the latter showed a decrease in yield. This neighbour specificity existed even when carryover effects from the sampling site had been eliminated (preconditioning period of 18 months) and when native Rhizobium strains were not present (inoculation with a non-native strain). The complex pattern of neighbour specificity with time indicated the importance of environmental conditions for its outcome. These results are a further confirmation of positive effects on the growth of Trifolium repens when grown together with its natural neighbour. They are discussed in the context of coexistence and coevolution

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary A simulation model is used to quantify relationships between diet quality, digestive processes and body weight in ungulate herbivores. Retention time of food in the digestive tract is shown by regression to scale with W0.27, and to be longer in ruminants than in hindgut fermenters. Allometric relationships between whole gut mean retention time (MRT, h) and weight (W) were: MRT=9.4 W0.255 (r 2=0.80) for hindgut fermenters and MRT=15.3 W0.251 (r 2=0.76) in ruminants. Longer retention of ingesta by large-bodied ruminants and hindgut fermenters increases digestive efficiency relative to small animals and permits them to survive on lower-quality foods. Compared with ruminants, hindgut fermenters' faster throughput is an advantage which outweighs their lower digestive efficiency, particularly on poor quality foods, provided that food resources are not limiting. This suggests that the predominance of ruminants in the middle range of body weights results from their more efficient use of scarce resources under conditions of resource depletion. Considering only physical limitations on intake, the model shows that the allometric coefficient which scales energy intake to body mass is 0.88 in ruminants and 0.82 in hindgut fermenters. The advantages of large body size are countered by disadvantages where food quantity is limited, and we suggest that the upper limit to ungulate body size is determined by the ability to extract nutrients from feeding niches during the nadir of the seasonal cycle of resource quality and abundance.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract GPD genes encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were isolated from the homobasidiomycetes Schizophyllum commune, Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Agaricus bisporus. All three species contain one transcriptionally active GPD gene, but A. bisporus also contains an inactive GPD gene (tandemly linked to the active gene). These genes contain 5–9 introns located at conserved positions, differing (except in one case) from intron positions in ascomycetous GPD genes. The predicted amino-acid sequences of the proteins encoded by the three active GPD genes are highly homologous. A comparison with protein sequences from filamentous ascomycetes shows a clear distinction, whereas the GPD genes from ascomycetous yeasts are quite distinct from both the filamentous ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. Promoter regions of ascomycetous GPD genes do not correspond to those of the GPD genes of basidiomycetes which may (partly) explain poor expression in basidiomycetes of introduced genes driven by an ascomycete GPD promoter.

    Notes: Summary We report the cloning and physical mapping of the mitochondrial genome of Chlamydomonas eugametos together with a comparison of the overall sequence structure of this DNA with the mitochondrial genome of Chlamydomonas moewusii, its closely related and interfertile relative. The C. eugametos mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has a 24 kb circular map and is thus 2 kb larger than the 22 kb circular mitochondrial genome of C. moewusii. Restriction mapping and heterologous fragment hybridization experiments indicate that the C. eugametos and C. moewusii mtDNAs are colinear. Nine cross-hybridizing restriction fragments common to the C. eugametos and C. moewusii mtDNAs, and spanning the entirety of these genomes, show length differences between homologous fragments which vary from 0.1 to 2.3 kb. A 600 bp subfragment of C. moewusii mtDNA, within one of these conserved fragments, showed no hybridization with the C. eugametos mtDNA. Of the 73 restriction sites identified in the C. eugametos and C. moewusii mtDNAs, five are specific to C. moewusii, eight are specific to C. eugametos and 30 are common to both species. Hybridization experiments with gene probes derived from protein-coding and ribosomal RNA-coding regions of wheat and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mtDNAs support the view that the small and large subunit ribosomal RNA-coding regions of the C. eugametos and C. moewusii mtDNAs are interrupted and interspersed with each other and with protein-coding regions, as are the ribosomal RNA-coding regions of C. reinhardtii mtDNA; however, the specific arrangement of these coding elements in the C. eugametos and C. moewusii mtDNAs appears different from that of C. reinhardtii mtDNA.

    Notes: Summary A gene homologous to the E. coli groEL locus was identified on the plastid genome of the unicellular red alga Cyanidium caldarium strain 14-1-1 (synonym: Galdieria sulphuraria). The complete nucleotide sequence was determined and compared to bacterial-and nuclear-encoded counterparts of higher plants. At the amino-acid level the C. caldarium gene shows 70% homology to the corresponding gene of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus and 52% homology to nuclear-encoded counterparts of higher plants, respectively. Northern and Western blot experiments were used to investigate the dependence of the transcript-and protein-level on culture temperature and heat shock.

    Notes: Abstract Virtually all models of economic change are based on a Darwinian picture of a world where change is gradual, smooth, and where economic survival depends on being more efficient. This paper, drawing from current controversies in evolutionary biology, presents a broader interpretation of evolutionary change in which competitive selection is only one possible reason for economic survival. Economic change is presented as a hierarchical process. At one level, change takes place through the accumulation of small changes based on competitive selection at the margin, as described by standard economic theory. At higher levels, survival depends on processes over which the agent being selected has no control.

    Notes: Summary The intergenic spacer derived from a cloned rDNA unit from a cultivated rice was dissected into several subclones, which were used as probes to analyze sequence homologies between rDNA spacers from wild rice belonging to genome types AA, BB, CC, EE, FF, BBCC, and CCDD. This analysis allowed us to detect several regions with different degrees of homology. A series of 250–260 bp repeats is located in the central part of the AA spacer. This sequence cross-hybridizes with the BB, CC, BBCC, and FF genomes, but is absent in the EE and CCDD genomes. Regions proximal to 25S and 18S sequences are well conserved in all genomes. Finally, two adjacent sequences of 61 bp and 94 bp, located downstream from the repeats, have been found to have a narrow genomic specificity, restricted respectively to AA and FF genomes for the first one and to AA for the second. These data provide new information on the evolution of the ribosomal RNA gene spacer within a complex of related species, and add to our knowledge on the relationship between the various rice genomes.

    Notes: Summary The potential of variation in repeated nucleotide sequences as a tool for phylogenetic studies was examined by investigating the phylogeny of 13 diploid species of the genus Triticum L. sensu Bowden. Low intraspecific variation in repeated nucleotide sequence families in Triticum indicated that restriction fragment profiles of repeated nucleotide sequences in Southern blots are reliable and uniform characteristics of each species. Cloned repeated nucleotide sequences were hybridized with Southern blots of DNAs of the Triticum species and the outgroup, Lophopyrum elongatum (Host) Á. Löve. The presence or absence of bands in the Southern blot autoradiograms was considered to be a character for phylogenetic analysis. A most parsimonious tree was resolved with the PAUP version 3.0L computer package. The tree was consistent with cytotaxonomic and evolutionary data available on the species.

    Notes: Summary A total of 289 accessions of cultivated barley were assayed for ribosomal DNA (rDNA) polymorphisms. These accessions comprised four independent samples: (1) 79 entries from China, (2) 59 accessions from Ethiopia, (3) 59 entries from Tibet and (4) 92 entries representing 36 barley growing countries of the world (referred to as “world sample”). In all, 17 rDNA phenotypes (genotypes) were observed, which were composed 10 alleles at two rDNA loci, Rrn1 and Rrn2. The world sample contained the largest number of phenotypes and alleles and also demonstrated the highest level of diversity. Ribosomal DNA phenotypes 104, 112 and 107, 112 occurred at high frequencies worldwide. Allele 112 was the predominant allele of Rrn1 in all four samples, and 104 and 107 were the two major alleles of Rrn2 worldwide. The distributions of rDNA genotypes and alleles demonstrated a clear differentiation of two distinct barley groups: an Oriental group represented by the samples from China and Tibet, which is characterized by allele 107 at the Rrn2 locus (rDNA phenotype 107, 112); and an Occidental group, represented by Ethiopian and world samples, which is comprised mostly of allele 104 at the Rrn2 locus (rDNA phenotype 104, 112). The results also raised new questions concerning the phylogeny and evolution of cultivated barley.

    Notes: Summary Cladistic analysis of 86 chloroplast DNA restriction-site mutations among 30 samples representing 15 species of Cucurbita indicates that annual species of the genus are derived from perennials. The Malabar Gourd, C. ficifolia, is placed as a basal, sister taxon relative to other domesticated species and allied wild-types. The pattern of variation supports three species groups as monophyletic: (1) C. fraterna, C. pepo, and C. texana, (2) C. lundelliana, C. martinezii, C. mixta, C. moschata and C. sororia, and (3) C. foetidissima and C. pedatifolia. Domesticated samples representing subspecies of C. pepo are divided into two concordant groups, one of which is allied to wild-types referable to C. texana and C. fraterna. The data failed to resolve relationships among cultivars of C. moschata and C. mixta and their association to the wild C. sororia. The South American domesticate, C. maxima, and its companion weed, C. andreana, show close affinity and alliance to C. equadorensis.

    Notes: Summary Acremonium spp. endophytes are mutualistic fungal symbionts of many C3 grasses. They are anamorphs of Epichloë typhina (Clavicipitaceae) that have become strictly seedborne, heritable components of symbiotic units (“symbiota”). In order to test the possibility that endophytes may contribute to the genetic diversity of symbiota, a survey was conducted of plants from nine populations of Festuca arizonica in the southern Rocky Mountains. Sequence analysis of rRNA gene segments distinguished three Acremonium endophyte types. Parsimony analysis indicated at least two distinct evolutionary origins of the Acremonium endophytes from E. typhina. Either or both of these evolutionary lineages may have involved cospeciation with the host.

    Notes: Summary The Endosperm Balance Number (EBN) hypothesis can explain to a considerable degree the crossability between tuber-bearing Solanum species. It has been shown to be genetically controlled and is dosage dependent. There is a good correlation between EBN and the postulated evolution and present taxonomy of potatoes. The primitive white stellate-flowered species from Mexico are 1EBN, and this condition is also found in species from South America with flowers of the same colour and shape. The evolution of a rotate corolla seems to be correlated with 2EBN. It is postulated that the 2EBN state arose as a reproductive isolating mechanism in South America. The taxonomic and evolutionary implications of the EBN hypothesis are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Random genomic probes were used to detect restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in 26 accessions of Musa representing eight species from Papua New Guinea (PNG), M. textilis, M. jackeyi and one accession of Ensete. Ninety-eight phylogenetically informative characters were scored and analyzed cladistically and phenetically. Results generally agreed with previous morphology-based phylogenetic analyses. However, the closest wild relative of the edible M. fehi (fe'i banana) appears to be M. lolodensis. Musa angustigemma is sister species with M. boman and M. jackeyi and is distinct from M. peekelii, with which it is often united. Musa boman is unambiguously placed in section Australimusa. The diploid parthenocarpic landraces of section Musa unique to PNG are closely related to, but apparently distinct from, M. acuminata ssp. banksii. The evolution of the fe'i bananas and the M. acuminata-derived diploid landraces of PNG are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The structure of a simple chordotonal organ, the presumed homologue of the noctuoid moth tympanal organ, is described in the atympanate moth, Actias luna. The organ consists of a proximal scolopidial region and a distal strand, which attaches peripherally to the membranous cuticle ventral to the hindwing alula. The strand is composed of elongate, microtubule-rich cells encased in an extracellular connective tissue sheath. The scolopidial region houses three mononematic, monodynal scolopidia, each comprised of a sensory cell, scolopale cell, and attachment cell. The dendritic apex is octagonally shaped in transverse section, its inner membrane lined by a laminated structure reminiscent of the noctuoid tympanal organ ‘collar’. A 9+0-type cilium emerges from the dendritic apex, passes through both the scolopale lumen and cap, and terminates in an extracellular space distal to the latter. Proximal extensions of the attachment cell and distal prolongations of the scolopale cell surrounding the cap are joined by an elaborate desmosome, with which is associated an extensive electron-dense fibrillar plaque. Within the scolopale cell, this plaque constitutes the scolopale ‘rod’ material. The data are discussed in terms of both the organ's potential function, and its significance as the evolutionary proto-type of the noctuoid moth ear.

The compound reacts (30 min. at 70°C) with carboxylic acids to give fluorescent esters that can be separated by reversedphase HPLC and detected at λ ex. 300 nm, λ em. 460 nm. The experimental conditions for the derivatization and chromatographic separation are discussed. Applications to the determination of valproic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid in pharmaceutical formulations are described.

    Notes: Summary The derivatizing procedure of Moody et al. [20] for valproic acid has been simplified and applied to the simultaneous HPLC determination of valproic acid (VPA), barbital (B), primidone (PRM), phenobarbital (PB) and carbamazepine (CBZ) in serum or plasma of epileptic patients. The sample is deproteinized with acetonitrile containing esterification agents and an aliquot of the supernatant is heated to 70°C for 15 min with 4-bromophenacyl bromide. The reaction mixture is analysed on a C18 column at ambient temperature, with gradient elution and with detection at 205 nm. The time required for the chromatographic analysis is 13 min; identification is based on retention time and quantification is by peak area determination with an internal standard. The calibration curves show good linearity in the range 6.25 to 100 mg/L. The detection limits at a signal: noise ratio ≥3, ranged from 1 mg/L for B and CBZ to 2–3 mg/L for PRM, PB and VPA. The method described for the simultaneous determination of the five drugs in the same plasma pool, correlated well with isocratic HPLC methods specific for each drug. The simultaneous procedure described allows a reproducible (CVs≤6.5% within run) and rapid (25 min for sample preparation: 13 min for chromatographic run) therapeutic monitoring of patients treated with VPA and two or more antiepileptic drugs.

    Notes: Summary Spherical, porous-polymer particles for column packing in high-performance liquid chromatography were prepared by suspension copolymerization of alkylvinyl ether with triethyleneglycol divinyl ether. The hydrophobicity of the packings was easily adjusted by changing the monomer ratio. The packings showed the usual reversed-phase liquid chromatographic properties, but did not sho abnormal retention, tailing and broadening of peaks and irreversible adsorption of ionic and aromatic substances, owing to the lack of ionic or aromatic groups. In addition, the packings were stable in alkaline solutions because of the relative alkali stability of C−O−C bonds as compared with CO−O and Si−O−C bonds in conventional packings.

    Notes: Summary Indirect photometric and unsuppressed direct conductivity detection modes are examined using naphthalene mono-, di-, and tri-sulfonate as mobile phases for the separation of several anions such as F−, Cl−, NO2 −, Br−, NO3 −, SO4=,I−, and SCN− using a commercial anion exchange column. With all three mobile phases, conductivity detection shows better sensitivities and detection limits than indirect photometry. Conductivity detection is 5 to 16 times more sensitive than indirect photometry for all analytes. Detection limits achieved using these mobile phases are, for example, 0.04 ng and 0.1 ng for chloride ion with conductivity and indirect photometry, respectively. Both detection modes give wide linear ranges extending from at least 100 ppm to the detection limit of each anion which is generally about 0.02 ppm. Sulfur oxide anions such as dithionate and tetrathionate are separated using flow programming with naphthalenetrisulfonate as the mobile phase in less than 20 minutes. With both detection modes, desired chromatographic performance of these three eluents is achieved without pH adjustment of the mobile phase.

    Notes: Summary An enhanced method of HPLC for the determination of 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furfuraldehyde (HMF) in fluid milk was perfected. Its resolving capacity permitted the specific separation of this compound. The real concentration (μmol/l) of HMF was determined and not the HMF value, as in the colorimetric analysis, where an intermediary coloured compound (HMF-TBA) is utilised. The optimum pH condition (pH=4.0–4.2) for the mobile phase to prevent overlapping between the HMF peak and the peaks of the other compound (α and β) that coeluted with the HMF and also the optimum organic solvent content (3% or 7%) were established. This is a sensitive, quick and safe method for the determination of HMF in fluid milk.

This chromatographic system (PRP-1 column) provides a rapid means for the determination of two of the most important arsenic species, arsenobetaine and arsenite. Addition of methanol (5%) to the aqueous mobile phase allows the differentation of arsenobetaine from the system peak when using UV detection.

    Notes: Summary The provitamin A content of some food samples was determined by methods involving MgO: Hyflosupercel gravityflow column chromatography (GFCC) and reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the quantitation being done by external standardization (HPLC-ES) or internal standardization (HPLC-IS) with Sudan. The results obtained with α- and β-carotene in carrots, β-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin in papaya and β-carotene in tomato and kale agreed well, showing that any of the these techniques can be used, provided the analysis is done under optimum conditions. Good separation of the different provitamins using GFCC depends on the analyst's skill and visual acuity. HPLC-ES required a constant supply of provitamin standards, thus the varying purity of commercially available standards and the high instability of these compounds could pose grave problems. Due to the stability of Sudan, HPLC-IS appeared to be the method of choice although passage of the extract through a MgO: Hyflosupercel minicolumn was required prior to injection to separate chlorophylls, dihydroxy- and polyoxycarotenoids which would otherwise elute with Sudan. Nonconformity of the Sudan structure to those of the provitamins did not effect the quantitative results. The chromatographic separation, identity and quantification of the provitamins could be more easily established by using HPLC-IS, complemented with GFCC.

    Notes: Summary Liquid and gas chromatographic separations of the pyrethroid insecticides allethrin and cypermethrin have been investigated with various achiral and chiral stationary phases. Diastercomeric and enantiomeric selectivity was observed for cypermethrin on a Pirkle-type chiral LC stationary phase, but very strong interactions and therefore long retention times prevented the separation of allethrin on this phase. Trans-allethrin isomers were separated on a chiral β-cyclodextrin RP-HPLC column while cypermethrin showed some difficulties on this phase due to isomerization. Diastereomeric but no enantiomeric selectivity by GC was achieved for cypermethrin with an apolar DB 5 capillary. GC separation of the diastereomers was used to study the selective photodegradation of cypermethrin isomers after forestry applications. Chiral β-cyclodextrin-based GC phases showed some enantioselectivity for cis- and trans-allethrin isomers. A separation of the eight isomers into six partially resolved peaks was achieved by GC with a coupled column consisting of chiral permethylated β-cyclodextrin and DB 1701 as stationary phases. This combination was used to characterize allethrin formulations intended for indoor use and to investigate allethrin products formed by ozonolysis of thin films of the insecticide.

    Notes: Summary Bonded silica columns have been evaluated for their ability to separate carbohydrates and polyols. Mobile phases consisting of dichloromethane/methanol produced the best separations in comparison with the acetonitrile/water mixtures commonly used with amino columns. Of all the bonded phases tested, LiChrospher Diol silica provided the best separations, and selectivities were not very different from those obtained on the most popular system using an amino bonded phase and acetonitrile/water as eluent. In addition, diol columns with a dichloromethane/methanol eluent offer excellent stability with no Schiff’s base formation of reducing sugars. Using an evaporative light scattering detector, low limit detection is obtainable (20 ng of glucose from a column) and gradient elution is quite feasible.

    Notes: Summary The retention characteristics of 22 aniline derivatives were determined on a porous, graphitized-carbon column in unbuffered acetonitrile-water and methanol-water mixtures. Each aniline derivative gave symmetrical peaks in each eluent without buffers. Good linear correlations were found between the log k′ and the concentration of the organic component in the eluent. The slope and intercept values differed according to the type of organic modifier and the charcter, number and position of substituents, indicating the different selectivities of methanol and acetonitrile and the good separating power of the column. Multivariate mathematical-statistical calculations proved that the retention of ring-substituted aniline derivatives is mainly governed by electronic parameters and the hydrogen acceptor capacity of substituents.

    Notes: Summary The principle of automated chromatographic peak detection and analysis software is summarized, and critical steps are systematically studied. As the only parameter to be entered is the acquisition frequency, evaluation of its effect on software performance is discussed. In the case of relatively noisy chromatograms, it is shown experimentally that numerous points per peak have to be taken, leading to quite fast computer acquisition procedures. The use of discrete Fourier transform filtration techniques can modify peak shapes and a comparative study evaluates the relative errors induced in the shapes and characteristics of the chromatographic profiles. Optimisation of filtering conditions is achieved and it is shown that for a filter position only 2% of the Nyquist frequency no deformation occurs in the chromatographic profile. Detection of the start and finish of chromatographic peaks is optimized according to a simple four step iterative procedure. In the case of simulations, the difference between the values used to simulate peaks and those calculated by the software are less than 1%.

    Notes: Summary A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of the pro-drug 5′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5′-dFUR), its metabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and some fluorinated pyrimidines involved in the metabolic activation process of 5-FU. The method has been used to monitor the bioavailability of 5′-dFUR and 5-FU in patients undergoing anticancer chemotherapy. Serum sample treatment involves addition of internal standard (5-bromouracil), protein precipitation with saturated ammonium sulphate solution and liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate-isopropanol (90 ∶ 10 v/v). Urine is simply diluted with mobile phase and injected. The average recovery from serum (at 0.5 μg/mL level) was 95.0%±1.4 for 5′-dFUR and 86.3%±3.5 for 5-FU. A linear response extending over four decades of concentration was observed. Detection limits in the low ng/ mL range were obtained using a 250 μL sample size and a 20 μL injection volume. Within-day and between-day coefficients of variation were below 4 and 10%, respectively.

    Notes: Summary An integrated flow injection (FI)/HPLC system for the total and individual determination of carbamate pesticides (propoxur, carbofuran and carbaryl) is proposed. The determination is based on the alkaline hydrolysis of the analytes and subsequent coupling with diazotized sulphanilic acid to yield the monitored dyes with or without a prior separation step by HPLC in a C18 column. The calibration curves obtained are linear in the μg/ml range and r.s.d. values are between 0.5 and 3.7% in all instances. Injection of the sample into the FI manifold allows the total pesticide content in the sample to be screened. The manifold thus acts as a post-column reactor/detector of the chromatograph for samples with high overall carbamate content, which are also injected into the HPLC instrument. The performance was checked with contaminated water samples.

    Notes: Summary Porous, perfluoroalkylated polymer-gels for column packings in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were prepared by suspension polymerization of heptadecafluorodecyl arcylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The packings showed no abnormal retention for ionic or aromatic compounds, due to the lack of ionic or aromatic groups. In addition, the packings showed no excessive retention for strongly hydrophobic compounds which is often the case with long-chain, alkylated silica gels and polymer gels. This is due to the extremely low surface energy of perfluoroalkyl groups. Therefore, perfluoroalkylated polymer gels enable isocratic HPLC separation of solutes with significantly different hydrophobicity.

    Notes: Summary The relationship between the specific capacity factor (k/S, where k is the capacity and S is the surface area of the sorbent, in m2) in the liquid chromatography of aromatic hydrocarbons and the adsorption energy (-°GA) has been investigated. The previously published results, based on the calculation of the work of adhesion (WSA) from contact angles, were re-examined and a new hypothesis on interactions at interfaces was employed. Direct proportionality has been found between k/S and-°GA, which allows prediction of the chromatographic behavior of adsorbates on sorbents. The surface free energy components were calculated in order to determine-°GA in terms of the work of adhesion. The dispersion component of the surface free energy of glass was obtained from the adsorption isotherm of n-octane and it was found that the hydrocarbon molecules are adsorbed in an oriented position. The contact angles of liquids on the outer surface of porous solids do not yield reliable values of WSA and of the surface free energy components. A higher intermolecular attraction increases WSA and decreases the contact angle in pores.

    Notes: Summary The surface chemistry of eight silica-gels with different siliceous matrix structures have been described. The influence of surface impurities on the chemical modification process (coverage density) with monooctadecylsilane has been studied. The surfaces of the adsorbents, before chemical modification, were cleaned by extraction with 20% HCl. Bare and modified materials were characterized using different physico-chemical methods e.g.: SIMS, CP/MAS NMR, porosimetry, pH measurement, elemental analysis and chromatography (GC & HPLC). The presence of trace amounts of different metallic elements creating new adsorption centers on the surfaces of the packings, have been demonstrated. Moreover, it has been shown that washing of silica gel adsorbents increases the coverage density of alkylsilyl ligands and improves the chromatographic properties of prepared packings.

The determination of propranolol, metoprolol, cromolyn and salicylic acid demonstrates that both basic and acidic analytes can be isolated from the plasma matrix with high selectivity. Analogous piperazines, with different protein binding properties, were used to study the influence of protein binding on the recovery. It is shown that high protein can cause a decreased recovery.

UV detection was carried out at 245 nm. The chromatographic parameters for the separation of the alkaloids were optimized by studying the impact of the pH value of the mobile phase and the column temperature on the separation efficiency of the analytical system. The best separation was achieved with a mobile phase pH of 6.6 and a column temperature of 15°C. The method developed is suitable for the qualitative characterisation and quantitative determination of oxindole alkaloids in crudeUncaria tomentosa extracts and phytopharmaceuticals.

    Notes: Summary A sensitive and stereoselective liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay for the S and R enantiomers of furprofen in human plasma has been developed. The assay is based on derivatization with S(−)-1-phenylethylamine with formation of two diastereoisomeric derivatives and on their separation and quantitation using HPLC with uv detection. The method is linear from 25 to 600 ng ml−1 of both enantiomers, with a variation coefficient below 10.8%, and a detection limit of 20 ng ml−1. This procedure is suitable for pharmacokinetic studies.

    Notes: Summary Sodium dodecyl sulphate, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and polyoxyethylene(23) lauryl ether were investigated as mobile phases in the micellar liquid chromatography of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of environmental concern. A wide range of surfactant concentrations were used and the retention parameters and distribution coefficients calculated. The trends in the retention data for the PAHs are discussed and several conclusions are presented concerning the partition coefficients when these surfactants are present in the mobile phase. Comparisons are made between the structural features of the compounds and their capacity factors, and the octanol/water partition coefficients are correlated with hydrophobicity for the PAHs studied.

    Notes: Summary The retention behaviour of chloro-substituted PAHs on several commercial normal bonded phase HPLC columns has been investigated. Chloro-substitution was shown to generally decrease the retention on stationary phases like amino-, diol- and nitrophenylpropyl-modified silica. Dimethylaminosilica exhibited more complex retention characteristics towards chloro-substituted PAHs. On this stationary phase, the position of the chlorine substituents on the aromatic solute seemed to be of greater importance for retention than on the amino-, nitro- and diolsilica. For some chloro-PAHs, the retention was shown to increase with the number of chloro-substitutions, probably due to the large affinity of the electron-rich nitrogen in the stationary phase for the electron deficient π-system of the chloro-PAHs. Chloro-substituted PAHs were strongly retarded on the electron donating 2-(1-pyrenyl)-ethylsilica (PYE) stationary phase. However, the molecular shape of the chloro-derivatives had a large influence on retention, which was considerably decreased for some nonplanar chloro-derivatives of chrysene and benz(a)anthracene. A two-dimensional back-flush HPLC method, consisting of a combination of a nitrophenylsilica column and a PYE column of matched lengths, was shown to be useful for clean-up of chloro-substituted PAHs in environmental samples.

    Notes: Summary A new approach is described, and a novel explanation presented, for the high performance liquid chromatographic analysis of cystine and cysteine as their phenylthiocarbamyl derivatives. PTC cystine and cysteine have been eluted with the same retention times and molar responses, most probably due to electrophilic attack of phenylisothiocyanate on cystine resulting in the scission of the disulfide bond yielding two moles of cysteine. Further, total PTC cystine and cysteine have been measured both in model solutions and in standard protein hydrolyzates (lysozyme, bovine albumin, ribonuclease) with the same linearity as the other ineteen amino acids. The reproducibility of the measurements, at the 250–750 pmole level, proved to be 4.1% (Relative Standard Deviation %) or less.

    Notes: Summary Retention of crown ethers in reverse-phase HPLC has been determined by their bonding ability with cations present in the eluent. The dependence of retention of crown ethers on cation concentration exhibits an inflection and makes it possible to calculate stability constant for the crown ether-cation complex. It is shown that in 75% MeOH retention of antitumor antibiotic, actinomycin D, depends on [Na+] and not on [K+] at concentrations of K+ from 5×10−7 to 10−1 mol l−1. Hence, actinomycin D may be classified as an ionophore-antibiotic.

The selectivity was investigated on silica-, carbon- and polymer-based separation columns for the separation of phenolic type of components. The effects of various acetonitrile/buffer mixtures, and pH of the mobile phase, and their impact on the retention of the phenols was assessed. Tables of retention times on the four columns for the 29 phenols with two different acetonitrile/buffer mixtures, together with the retention times at three pHs from 6.5 to 2.3 with varying levels of organic modifier on the LiChrospher RP 18 column are presented. As an application, the analysis of real river water samples from the Ebro river is described using a solid phase extraction step prior to injection into the chromatographic system.

    Notes: Summary If any residual (free) silanol groups remain at the surface of silica gel after bonding treatment, they may affect the retention of solutes since the dissociated groups (≡SiO−) will attract cations. The silanol group effect on the retention of cationic solutes will increase with increasing pH of the mobile phase but the effect will decrease with increasing hydrophobic-ion concentration at the C18 surface because such ions can mask the residual silanol groups. A method for the separation of metal complexes with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-diethylaminephenol (5-Br-PADAP) has been developed. The hydrophobic ion in the MeOH/H2O mobile phase was tetrabutylammonium (TBA).

    Notes: Summary Although Michael Tswett is the originator of chromatography, little is known about the performance of his chromatographic systems. His descriptions of the separation of plant pigments are detailed but nevertheless difficult to interprete by today's chromatographic theory. By our own experiments with the system calcium carbonate/benzene it was found that the separation factor of chlorophyll a and b is approx. 1.6 which means that less than 100 theoretical plates are necessary for separation. Tswett's columns with 50 μm particles and 2–3 cm of bed height presumably exceeded this plate number. His separations could have been impaired by mass overload and by a volume flow rate which was two orders of magnitude faster than the optimum.

    Notes: Summary The retention data of isomeric xylenes, ethyltoluenes and diethylbenzenes, and of mesitylene, benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene were obtained on a reversedphase column using methanol-water and ethanol-water mobile phases at four different temperatures. This database was used to relate the dependence of solute retention and resolution on the polarity of the mobile phase, solute dipole moment, and column temperature. The additivity of the free energy of the transfer of solute molecules or solute segments from the stationary phase to the mobile phase, was examined for the isomeric compounds. For this, the logarithm of the net retention volume was substituted for the free energy. Deviations from the additivity of free energies indicate that the separation of isomeric substituted alkylbenzenes is governed by their differential interactions with both the polar mobile phase and nonpolar stationary phase. Among the disubstituted alkylbenzenes,ortho-isomers favor the mobile phase more andpara-isomers tend to prefer the stationary phase more. Themeta-isomers are found to follow the additivity rule closely. These trends are amplified as the polarity of the mobile phase is increased indicating that these isomers are resolved better in water-rich mobile phases. These findings are substantiated by analogous results from gas-liquid chromatographic retention data, estimation of dipole moment effects, and examination of the entropic and enthalpic contributions to the net retention volume.

    Notes: Summary Block copolymers of styrene andt-butyl methacrylate can be analysed by methanol/tetrahydrofuran gradients on C18 or phenyl bonded phase columns. On both of these columns, retention increases with styrene content of the samples. At 50°C, the retention of PS or a block copolymer containing 45% styrene was longer on the phenyl than the C18 columns. This indicates the contribution of adsorption to retention on phenyl bonded phase columns. Lowering the temperature from 50 to 30°C caused earlier elution of part of the sample from the phenyl phase. On a C18 phase the same drop in temperature improved the shape of the peak, which also started later than at 50°C. This effect of temperature is generally observed in polymer retention due to an adsorption mechanism, whereas increasing retention with decrease in temperature is characteristic of a precipitation mechanism. The block copolymer investigated contained 15% free polystyrene precursor which could not be separated from the block copolymer under the conditions employed. The addition of 20% PS homopolymer with a molecular weight similar to that of the styrene block in the copolymer showed that the polystyrene eluted together with the block copolymer, whereas the addition of PS homopolymer with a much higher molecular weight caused an extra peak at the expected elution time.

The new MPBPs show different retention characteristics from the previously synthesized MPBP, designated TP. Nevertheless, the results indicate that the retention mechanism is still the same as the TP phase: the size and shape of the solute molecule can be recognized by a cavity-like space formed by the methyl groups and phenyl rings of MPBPs.

    Notes: Summary Retention and selectivity in hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) depend both on the type of stationary phase and on the mobile phase. In the last few years various high performance packing materials and columns have been introduced for HIC resulting in a range of different retentions and selectivity. We have investigated the effect of the stationary phase on the retention of various proteins. The retention of some solutes of different hydrophobicities were measured on three commercial HIC columns (TSK-Phenyl, Synchropack-Propyl, CAA-HIC) under isocratic conditions using water-methanol mixtures as eluent. The log kw values determined according to the literature were devalues determined according to the literature were dependent on the type and structure of the stationary phase and indicated a much less hydrophobic character for these columns than that obtained for reversed phase columns. Gradient separations were then carried out on a standard protein mixture using ammonium sulfate and sodium citrate to change the gradient time. In order to compare the effect of the stationary phase and the two salts investigated apparent capacity factors (kg) were determined and plotted against the gradient time obtained for the three columns in the two eluent system. It was shown that the type of stationary phase had a significant effect on the retention of proteins. In addition, the effect of the mobile phase composition, i.e. salt type, was considerably different on the various stationary phases. In order to exploit the potential of HIC to modulate selectivity for the separation of proteins, the combined effect of the stationary phase and the type of salt should be taken into account.

    Notes: Summary An automatic method based on the combination of a flow injection (FI) manifold with a liquid chromatograph has been developed for the enrichment and determination of transition metal ions in water samples. Alternatively, the FI configuration can be used as a screening system for the determination of the total concentration of heavy metals. Two-parameter expressions for calibration graphs involving preconcentration time and concentration of the analytes were established for both the FIA and the integrated FIA/HPLC methods. The preconcentration time depends on the concentration level of the analytes in the samples. The method is linear in the range 2–200 ng/ml, with r.s.d. values between 1.5 and 5.0. It has been applied to the determination of copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, cadmium and manganese in synthetic water samples.

    Notes: Summary A group of non-planar PCBs (IUPAC nos. 28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153, and 180) was identified in a cod-liver oil product by using high resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRGC/MS) in electron impact (EI) and negative chemical ionization (NCI) modes. The cod-liver oil samples were prepared either in a cyano column by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or by a solid phase extraction (SPE) clean-up procedure that included e.g. purified charcoal treatment. The two methods of sample preparation were evaluated on the basis of the detectabilities of the congeners. The GC/MS-SIM method allowed quantitative monitoring of congeners nos. 52, 101, 118, 138, 153, and 180 at low concentration levels. Detection limits were 1.2 pg and 130 fg (m/z 292.00) in EI and NCI modes, respectively. The determination levels in EI and NCI were 1.8 pg and 290 fg in HPLC followed by HRGC/MS and 170 pg and 27 pg in SPE followed by HRGC/MS. The linear range was from 5.0 pg/μl to 1.0 ng/μl and from 1.0 pg/μl to 1.0 ng/μl in EI and NCI modes, respectively. In addition, the co-planar PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs were also screened and two of the chlorinated furanes were identified by HRGC/MS-NCI after separation from non-planar PCBs by SPE. In this case the only congeners that could be quantified were 2,3,4,7,8-PCDF and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HCDF, the detection limit for them being 740 fg (m/z 351.90) with NCI. SPE allows the separation of the planar and non-planar compounds, but LC separation is more effective for separation of the compounds of interest from the matrix. LC clean-up is easier and faster to perform than SPE clean-up.

The detection limits were 20 ppm; xylose, glucose, and cellobiose were the major components. Salts from the buffer solution may affect the activity of cellulase. The analysis of carbohydrates can be performed under acid conditions. HPLC analysis of carbohydrates from enzymatic hydrolysis is reliable and successful.

    Notes: Abstract The electrophoretic patterns of 15 protein systems codified for 20 genetic loci were investigated using horizontal electrophoresis. A total of 150 blood samples, from five species of the genusCallithrix were analyzed. Polymorphic variation was observed in 10 out 20 loci analyzed. The genotypic distributions are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The average heterozygosity (H) varied from 1% to 5%, similar to those observed for other Neotropical primates. The genetic distance coefficients revealed a phylogenetic separation of these species into two groups: (1) “argentata” (C. humeralifer andC. emiliae); (2) “jacchus” (C. jacchus, C. penicillata, andC. geoffroyi). This arrangement is according to the taxonomic arrangement proposed byHershkovitz (1977),de Vivo (1988), andMittermeier et al. (1988). The results in each group are compatible with the subspecies values recorded for the Platyrrhini. These values showed that:C. humeralifer andC. emiliae are subspecies ofC. argentata;C. jacchus, C. penicillata, andC. geoffroyi are subspecies ofC. jacchus. These results also suggest thatC. j. geoffroyi is the “jacchus” group taxon, most similar genetically to the “argentata” group.

    Notes: Synopsis The size of seven neural structures was compared in 51 species of Notropis, Pteronotropis, Cyprinella, Luxilus, Lythrurus, and Hybopsis, and related to the turbidity of the species& habitat. This last parameter was assessed for each species by personal communication with 42 ichthyologists. To control for size differences among species, all analyses were performed on the residuals from a regression of each character on standard length. Principal components analysis (PCA) of the residuals produced four significant PC-axes that together explained 65% of the total variation represented in the original variables. The size of brain structures concerned with vision, olfaction, and gustation was correlated with habitat turbidity. Two-way Analyses of Covariance (ANCOVAs) revealed significant differences between species in the size of all structures. Sexual dimorphism was found in the size of the olfactory bulb and the cerebellum, and significant two-way interactions (species vs. sex) were detected for the telencephalon, optic lobes, cerebellum, vagal lobe, and the eye. Cluster analysis indicated that neither similar turbidity preference nor shared phylogeny is alone sufficient to explain the observed differences in brain morphology.

    Notes: Synopsis Reproduction and parental care in the cockscomb prickleback, a Pacific coast intertidal fish, were examined using a combination of field and laboratory observations. The sexes were dimorphic, particularly during the breeding season, and males competed with other males for access to females. Males performed lateral and spasm displays. In the wild, the breeding season extended from January to March on cobblestone beaches. Assortative mating was positive with respect to body size. Females exhibited solitary parental care of the eggs. Each female coiled around, guarded and fanned a single egg mass that likely represented her total reproductive effort for the year. The number of eggs in the mass increased linearly with female size (weight or length). Males did not remain after spawning. Aquarium observations revealed that males spawn with more than one female given the opportunity. It is not known whether this occurs in the wild. Incubation to hatching took 29 days. Upon hatching, the young swam towards the surface. Parental care did not extend beyond hatching.

    Notes: Synopsis The parental behaviour of the Madagascan cichlid,Paratilapia polleni, was studied in the laboratory. According to current hypotheses of phylogenetic intrarelationship for the family Cichlidae,Paratilapia is a representative of a phylogenetically primitive cichlid lineage, and as such is of particular interest in comparative evolutionary studies. Given the basal phylogenetic placement ofParatilapia it seems reasonable to expect that, if maternal participation in brood care arose within the extant Cichlidae, then the proposed plesiomorphic system of extensive male care of eggs and embryos may be retained in this taxon. This is not the case, and already by the fertilized-egg interval male and female roles inParatilapia are strongly differentiated with the female as the primary care giver. In addition to specialized behavioural roles, a unique egg morphology and mobile egg mass is described forParatilapia. The results of the study are discussed in the context of theories of the evolution of maternal brood care within the Cichlidae.

    Notes: Abstract Restriction enzymes were used to assay variation among mitochondrial DNAs from parthenogenetic and sexual species of Lacerta. This permitted identification of the sexual species that acted as the maternal parent of the various hybrid-parthenogenetic lineages. Lacerta mixta was the maternal parent for both L. dahli and L. armeniaca, L. valentini was the maternal parent for L. uzzelli, and L. raddei was the maternal parent of L. rostombekovi. The maternal ancestry of L. unisexualis is not as clear. The sample of L. nairensis was very similar to one from a population of L. raddei and either species could be the maternal parent of L. unisexualis. The parthenogenetic species all had very low nucleotide diversity in absolute terms and in comparison to their sexual relatives. The close similarity between mtDNAs from the parthenogenetic species and their respective sexual maternal ancestor species provides strong evidence for the recent origin of the parthenogens. The low diversity of the parthenogens indicates that few females were involved in their origins; the maternal parents of L. dahli and L. armeniaca could have come from a single population. The patterns of mtDNA variation in Lacerta are very similar to those in Cnemidophorus and Heteronotia, establishing recent and geographically restricted origins as a general feature of parthenogenetic lizards.

    Notes: Abstract This paper summarizes some recent theories about the evolution of transposable genetic elements in outbreeding, sexual eukaryotic organisms. The evolutionary possibilities available to self-replicating transposable elements are shown to vary depending on the reproductive biology of the host genome. This effect can be used to explain, in part, the differences in abundance of transposable elements between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is argued that the pattern of sexual outbreeding seen in mammals and plants is especially favorable to the spread of transposons. Moreover, because transposon spread is facilitated by zygote formation, the evolutionary origin of sexual conjugation may have been due to selection on transposon-encoded genes. Finally, evidence is also presented that introns could have originated as transposable genetic elements.

    Notes: Synopsis When a new species is found, or a known one collected outside its recognized distribution, most people either assume that the species has been overlooked in the past or that it has recently invaded the area in question from elsewhere. While other, more evolutionary explanations are possible, these are nearly always ignored, in spite of the common perception that animals are constantly in states of change. Recent findings in the Danube River are used as examples for such alternative interpretations. The case of two forms of Vimba — short and long snouted — which live in sympatry in the upper Danube is dispelled, as one of them is identified as a hybrid between female V. vimba and male Blicca bjoerkna. Frequent occurrences of this hybrid (and a few of its backcrosses) in recent times are explained by man-induced alteration of reproductive isolation between their parent species, caused by the impoundment of the river by dams built as part of the Rhein-Main-Donau Kanal. These impoundments, however, might be responsible not only for the creation of hybrids but also for direct speciation, as the case of Gobio albipinnatus may represent. The ability for epigenetic creation of two alternative life-history states (as part of the theory of alprehost) and the survival of an alternative state when environmental conditions change might be ultimately responsible for the appearance of a new taxon.

    Notes: Summary Arylphorin was purified from larvae of the blowfly Calliphora vicina and studied in its oligomeric form and after dissociation at pH 9.6 into native subunits. In accordance with earlier literature, it was electrophoretically shown to be a 500 kDa hexamer (1×6) consisting of 78 kDa polypeptides (= subunits). Electron micrographs of negatively stained hexamers show a characteristic curvilinear, equilateral triangle of 12 nm in diameter (top view) and a rectangle measuring 10×12 nm (side view). Alternatively, particles in the top view orientation exhibit a roughly circular shape 12 nm in diameter. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis revealed the presence of a major subunit type; the nature of a very minor and a third immunologically separated component remains unclear. A novel 2×6 arylphorin particle was detected and isolated. It comprises less than 10% of the total arylphorin material and shows a long, narrow interhexamer bridge in the electron microscope. An arylphorin dissociation intermediate identified as a trimer (1/2×6) was isolated; its possible quaternary structure is discussed on the basis of electron micrographs. The epitope of monoclonal antibody Ec-7 directed against tarantula (Eurypelma californicum) hemocyanin subunit d and also reactive to Calliphora arylphorin was traced to a highly conserved peptide of 27 amino acids localized in the center of the protein. The primary structure of Calliphora arylphorin as published in our preceding paper (Naumann and Scheller 1991) is compared in detail to the sequences of spider and spiny lobster hemocyanin. This revealed a basic framework of 103 strictly conserved amino acids. Isofunctional exchanges are proposed for another 76 positions. On the basis of these similarities, and the published three-dimensional model of spiny lobster hemocyanin, a detailed model of the quaternary structure of Calliphora arylphorin is presented. A second larval storage protein previously termed protein II was purified from Calliphora hemolymph. It was demonstrated to be a 500 kDa hexamer of 83 kDa subunits. In the electron microscope it shows a cubic view 9 nm in length with a large central hole and a rectangular view (9×10 nm) with a large central cavity. A morphologically very similar hemolymph protein was detected in Drosophila melanogaster larvae. From its structural appearance it is uncertain whether protein II belongs to the hemocyanin superfamily or not.

This method is 17 to 350 times more sensitive than electrochemical detection, depending on the test compounds. It has been applied to the analysis of catecholamines in urine.

    Notes: Summary Manganese chlorophylls have been synthesized by refluxing a mixture of pheophytins dissolved in acetone and manganese(II) acetate anhydride dissolved in glacial acetic acid. A good separation of manganese(III) chlorophylls has been attained by RP-HPLC using chemically bonded C18 silica as a stationary phase and methanol with 3% acetic acid as a mobile phase. An accurate and rapid HPLC method is described for the simultaneous determination of manganese(III) chlorophyll-a [Mn(III)-chl-a] and manganese(III) chlorophyll-b [Mn(III)-chl-b]. Tailing arising from dissociation of acetate ions is improved by addition of sodium acetate (5×10−3 M) to the mobile phase (acetone: methanol=90∶10, vol/vol). The analytical values obtained by the HPLC method are very close to the calculated contents in all samples, but those obtained by spectrophotometry are high because of the interferences from overlapping of absorption bands. In the proposed HPLC method the calibration graphs of Mn(III)-chl-a and Mn(III)-chl-b are linear in the concentration range 0–20 μg cm−3 with relative standard deviations (n=10) of 3.46% and 4.54%, respectively.

The retention of these cationic solutes, PP and its ester derivatives, was influenced by eluent pH, ionic strength and organic modifier content. The enantioselectivity was dependent on eluent pH and type of organic modifier. Reversal of the enantiomeric elution order of ester derivatives of PP (O-propionyl-butyryl) and-valeryl PP) occurred around eluent pH 6–7. These results suggst that chiral recognition or binding properties may be altered by the change in eluent composition, espeically eluent pH and type of organic modifier.

    Notes: Summary The efficiency of an analytical method for the determination of aflatoxins in groundnut meal has been statistically examined. The procedure consists of a phenyl bonded phase (PH) clean-up of an acetone: water (85∶15) extract followed by HPLC quantification. Average recoveries from spiked groundnut meal extracts were calculated to be 101.3% and 101.8%, with limits of detection of 7.4 and 2.62 μg/kg for aflatoxins-B1 and-B2 respectively. Higher recoveries of aflatoxin-B1 from naturally contaminated samples were recorded using the proposed procedure than those recorded using the official AOAC (CB) method although the precisions of the two methods were not found to differ at the 5% significance level. Similar recoveries of aflatoxin-B2 were recorded for both methods but the proposed procedure was found to be more precise. The proposed PH-HPLC method was far less time consuming and more economical on solvents than the CB procedure.

    Notes: Summary The effect of silanol groups on three types of octadecylmodified column gels using heat-treated silicas by calcination has been studied by high-performance liquid chromatography. After heat-treating at 180°C, 500°C and 950°C, the silicas treated with octadecyldimethylchlorosilane were used for the measurement of physical and chemical analysis. From elemental carbon analysis data, the reactive silanol group concentrations, αOH(s), were determined to be 2.0 in the 180°C treated silica, 2.1 in the 500°C treated silica and 1.6 in the 950°C treated silica, respectively (original silica: mean pore diameter 116 Å, specific surface area 298 m2/g, pore volume 1.22 ml/g, particle size 5.0 μm). The separation factors, α, of pyridine versus phenol were measured to be 0.79 on 180°C treated silica, 0.91 on 500°C treated silica and 1.98 on 950°C treated silica, using acetonitrile-water mixtures as the eluent. And then, on the basis of the physico-chemical and chromatographic data, the three types of octadecyl modified column gels using heat-treated silicas by calcination have been compared.

    Notes: Summary This paper describes a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay method for the determination of trichlormethiazide (TCM) in human plasma and urine. After extraction and separation on an ODS column TCM from plasma was detected by oxidation in an electrochemical detector (ECD) by a porous graphite electrode. The sensitivity was better than HPLC with UV detection, enabling the determination of 2 ng ml−1 TCM in human plasma. This method also allows determination of TCM at higher concentrations by exchanging the UV for the electrochemical detector. To study the pharmacokinetics, TCM in plasma and urine was assayed with coefficients of variation in the range 2–3%. The method has the advantages of high sensitivity for plasma assay and high precision with a simple procedure for both plasma and urine samples. Small samples of 0.5 ml plasma per assay also reduced the total volume of plasma needed.

    Notes: Summary Separation of lactic acid enantiomers by inductive adsorption has been studied on silica columns using (S)-(+)mandelic acid as the chiral mobile-phase additive. The lactic acid peak is not very strongly retained, broad, strongly tailing and splits in two at loadings lower than 60 μmol cm−2 column cross-section and at mandelic acid concentrations higher than 10−4M. The splitting indicates partial separation of enantiomers: enantiomerically enriched fractions are obtained but not enantiomerically pure. Lactic acid retention strongly decreases with increasing concentration of both hydroxy-acids; mandelic acid acts by displacement and lactic acid acts by an overloading effect.

    Notes: Summary This paper describes the direct injection analysis of the anti-cancer drug hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) in biological fluids by an HPLC column switching technique. The first chromatographic column, which provides for sample extraction and cleanup, employs a micellar mobile phase with SDS as the modifier. The second column, coupled on-line to the first, utilizes reversed-phase conditions for analysis. UV detection is employed at 210 nm. 282 samples from 12 cancer patients were analysed and good pharmacokinetics curves obtained. The drug gives recoveries of 94.0–100.9% with a relative standard deviation of 1.88%. A sample analysis is completed within 15 minutes. This method should be satisfactory not only for the analysis of HMBA but also, probably for other drugs in biological fluids.

    Notes: Summary Methods based on simultaneous determination of oxy-anions in soil extracts are needed for studies of competitive adsorption of oxyanions by soils. We studied the effect of NaHCO3/Na2CO3 and NaOH/Na2CO3 concentrations on ion chromatographic (IC) determination of PO 4 3− , AsO 4 3− , SeO 4 2− , SeO 3 2− , WO 4 2− , and MoO 4 2− in a 10-mM NaCl matrix equilibrated with soils by using a Dionex 2002i IC unit. The eluent, 6.0 mM NaOH+4.5 mM Na2CO3, resolved the 10 mM Cl− from the six oxyanions. Elution times for Cl−, SeO 3 2− , SO 4 2− , NO 3 − , SeO 4 2− , PO 4 3− , WO 4 2− , MoO 4 2− , and AsO 4 3− were 1.7, 2.7, 5.2, 6.1, 7.8, 10.5, 14.3, 17.7, and 21.2, respectively. The recovery of 0.2-mM oxyanion standards added to the soil solutions ranged from 93.0 to 106.8%, with coefficients of variation ranging from 0 to 14.3%. The detection limits of the oxyanions studied ranged from 0.3 μM for SeO 3 2− to 9.0 μM for AsO 4 3− .

    Notes: Summary Optical isomers of substituted binaphthyl, compounds such as 2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-dinaphthyl and 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diyl hydrogenphosphate are, separated by HPLC using micellar bile-salt mobile phases. Operating conditions which affect the optical resolution of these enantiomers are examined. The largest separation factor achieved for these enantiomers is 2.74. The elution order of the latter enantiomers changes with mobile phase composition.

    Notes: Summary The retention mechanism involved in enantiomeric separation of binaphthyl compounds by HPLC with micellar bilesalt mobile phases is discussed. A new model for the equilibrium is proposed, in which a heterogeneous stationary phase comprising solvated and micelle-adsorbed portions is considered. The experimental data supported the adsorption of the bile salt micelles on the octadecylsilica stationary phase which could recognize the chirality of binaphthyl compounds.

    Notes: Summary Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) affinity chromatography was examined as a method for the purification of the glycosylated beta subunit from SDS solubilized (Na,K)-ATPase. This lectin, WGA, bound quantitatively all of the beta subunit from SDS solubilized (Na,K)-ATPase whether or not the sample was reduced and/r alkylated. The combination of affinity and high performance size exclusion chromatography purified the beta subunit to a single band on SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Compared to other methods of isolation this two step procedure utilizing wheat germ agglutinin was superior in terms of yield and purity for the beta subunit of (Na,K)-ATPase.

    Notes: Summary Quantitative structure-enantiospecific retention relation-ships (QSERR) have been derived for a series of 1,4-benzodiazepines. The compounds were chromatographed on a human serum albumin based HPLC chiral stationary phase (HSA-CSP). Molecular modeling of the solutes allowed the determiantion of various structural descriptors. Among these descriptors, a submolecular polarity parameter, PSM, was identified which was able to characterize enantiospecific interactions of benzodiazepines with the HSA-CSP. Combining PSM with the retention parameter of the less retained enantiomer permitted precise prediction of the retention of the second eluting enantiomer. Highly statistically significant regression equations were also derived which described the retentions of both enantiomers in terms of nonempirical molecular descriptors. The calculated enantioselectivity correlated well with the experimentally observed values. A significant conclusion from this study is support for the existence of two different binding sites for chiral benzodiazepines on HSA.

    Notes: Summary The liquid chromatographic methods laid out for the analysis of minocycline hydrochloride in the British Pharmacopoeia 1988, the United States Pharmacopeia XXII and the Pharmacopée Française 10 were examined. The major difference between these methods lies in the adjustment of the pH of the mobile phase. The analyst has to obtain the right pH of the mobile phase for his available column. This was found to be a less than easy task for the occasional analyst. Other disadvantages observed were poor solubility of the components of the mobile phase, reduced sensitivity due to UV absorbance by the mobile phase, rather high back pressure, the elution order for 9-minocycline depending on the brand of stationary phase, and above all, poor stability of the stationary phase.

    Notes: Summary An ion-pair, liquid chromatographic method for the determination of total gossypol in chicken liver has been developed. It involves hydrolysis of bound gossypol in the presence of ascorbic acid, partitioning into chloroform and isocratic separation on Spherisorb ODS2, 10 μm, column with a methanol-water mobile phase containing octane-1-sulfonate. Precision data based on within-day and between-days variation suggested an overall relative standard deviation of 8.1%, while overall recovery was 81.1%±3.
