    Notes: The Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli symbiotic plasmid pRP2JI carries a gene, melA, specifying the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for the production of the pigment melanin in these bacteria. Transcription of melA is activated by the nifA gene of Rhizobium and, when the cloned melA gene is transferred to Escherichia coli, melA is expressed if the recipients contain nifA gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae. This nifA-dependent activation was temperature sensitive and required the ntrA gene. The cloned nifA gene of K. pneumoniae, when transferred to a nifA mutant of Rhizobium phaseoli biovar phaseoli, corrected the Mer− but not the Fix− phenotype. nifA of R. leguminosarum biovar phaseoli activated melA at higher levels in cells grown in low concentrations of oxygen. Also, nifA of fl. leguminosarum biovar phaseoli activated nifH of K. pneumoniae in Escherichia coli cells grown In low-oxygen concentrations.

    Transcription of rhiA, a gene on a Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae Sym plasmid, requires rhiR and is repressed by flavanoids that induce nod genes (1989)

    Notes: Strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae specifically make an abundant protein (Rhi) in free-living culture but not in bacteroids. Genes needed for Rhi synthesis are on a Sym plasmid and here we show that one of these genes, rhiA, is the structural gene that specifies this polypeptide. Transcription of rhiA requires a regulatory gene, rhiR, located close to rhiA and to nod genes involved in nodulation. Mutations in rhiA or rhiR do not appear to affect symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Transcription of rhiA is repressed in cells grown in the presence of the flavanone hesperetin or the flavone apigenin, both of which are potent inducers of transcription of nod genes. This was deduced from the use of rhiA-lacZ fusions; however, when the Rhi polypeptide was detected in SDS gels, there was no apparent difference in the intensity of its staining in extracts obtained from cells grown with or without these flavanoid nod gene inducer molecules. However, a mutation in a nodulation gene, nolR, also closely linked to the nod and rhi genes, caused a severe depression in the amount of Rhi (as seen on gels) that was made in cells grown in the presence of inducer flavanoids.

    Notes: The chemotactic behaviour of a strain of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae was investigated. The flavanoids apigenin and naringenin, inducers of transcription of the nodulation (nod) genes, were both potent attractants but hesperitin, another flavone nod gene inducer, was not. The response of strains containing the Sym plasmid pRL1JI to apigenin and naringenin was significantly greater than the response of a strain cured of the plasmid, although both strains gave a positive response. Addition of the flavanol kaempferol, an antagonist of nod gene induction, had no detectable effect on the chemotactic response to naringenin or aplgenin, but was itself found to be an attractant. The attractant response to a variety of amino acids and sugars was not affected by the presence of the Sym plasmid. Homoserine, the most abundant nitrogenous compound in legume exudates, was also found to be an attractant. However, although the Sym plasmid is required for the biovar to metabolize homoserine as a carbon source, it was not required for the chemotactic response. A group of membrane proteins showed increased methylation in response to stimulation with serine. There was no measurable change in methylation after stimulation with apigenin.

    Single and multiple mutations affecting properties of the regulatory gene nodD of Rhizobium (1989)

    Notes: nodD of Rhizobium leguminosarum has two regulatory properties: it autoregulates and, in cells grown with specific flavonoids, activates other nod genes. We isolated mutations in nodD affecting one or both properties. Those abolishing autoregulation and nod gene induction were at the 5′ end of nodD, as were those which only affected autoregulation. Mutations affecting nod gene activation are at the 3’end of nodD. Eleven mutations in this region of nodD were isolated: some had little effect on the regulatory properties; others reduced activation of other nod genes. 265 bps were removed from the 3’end of nodD: this abolished nodD function. Doubly mutant derivatives of nodD were constructed by making nodD genes with a mutation that conferred the ability to activate transcription of nod genes in the absence of inducers (class IV) plus another that abolished autoregulation and/or flavonoid-dependent nod gene activation. The behaviour of such double mutants was complex; e.g. in one case, a doubly mutant nodD gene containing the class IV mutation, coupled to one of those that (alone) abolished autoregulation and nod gene induction, was similar in behaviour to the wild type. In other cases, double mutants were similar to one of the parentals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le but de ce travail est d'étudier les effets thermiques de la polymérisation sur les petits os longs. Les résultats montrent seulement, durant la prise du ciment, une élevation modérée de la température dans la cavité médullaire de ces os. L'élévation maximale (11° 7) est dans les limites de tolérance des cellules osseuses vivantes. Il a été démontré que les petites quantités de méthyl-métacrylate refroidissent plus rapidement, donc que diminuent davantage les effets nuisibles de la chaleur. Les examens histologiques ne montrent aucune altération due aux effets thermiques de la polymérisation du méthyl-métacrylate sur les petits os longs ni sur les tissus de recouvrement.
    Notes: Summary This study was designed to investigate the thermal effects of polymerization on small tubular bones. The results demonstrated only a slight increase in temperature during cement-curing in the medullary canals of these bones. The maximum rise (11.7° C) was within the levels of tolerance for living bone cells. It was demonstrated that the small volumes of methyl-methacrylate cool more rapidly, hence further decreasing the deleterious effects of heat. The histological studies showed no recognisable adverse reaction to the thermal effects of methyl-methacrylate polymerization on small tubular bones or on the overlying tissue.

    Anhydrous P-T phase relations of near-primary high-alumina basalt from the South Sandwich Islands (1986)

    Notes: Abstract Anhydrous P-T phase relations, including phase compositions and modes, are reported from 10–31 kbar for a near-primary high-alumina basalt from the South Sandwich Islands in the Scotia Arc. The water content of natural subduction-related basalt is probably 〈0.5 wt.% and thus, these results are relevant to the generation of primary basaltic magmas in subduction zones. At high pressures (〉27 kbar) garnet is the liquidus phase followed by clinopyroxene, then quartz/coesite at lower temperatures. At intermediate pressures (17–27 kbar), clinopyroxene is the liquidus phase followed by either garnet, quartz, plagioclase, then orthopyroxene or plagioclase, quartz, garnet, then orthopyroxene depending on the pressure within this interval. At all lower pressures, plagioclase is the liquidus phase followed at much lower temperatures (∼100° C at 5 kbar) by clinopyroxene. The absence of olivine from the liquidus suggests that the composition studied here could not have been derived from a more mafic parent by olivine fractionation at any pressure investigated, and supports the interpretation that it is primary. If so, these results also preclude an origin for this melt by partial melting of olivine-rich mantle periddotite and suggest instead that it was generated by partial melting of the descending slab (quartz eclogite) leaving clinopyroxene, garnet, or both in the residue. The generally flat REE patterns for low-K series subduction related basalts argue against any significant role for garnet, however, and it is thus concluded that the composition studied here was extracted at 20–27 kbar after sufficiently high degrees of partial melting (∼50%) to totally consume garnet in the eclogite source. Melting experiments on three MORB composition, although not conclusive, are in agreement with this mechanism. Results at 30 kbar support an origin for tonalite/trondhjemite series rocks by lower degrees of melting (15–30%), leaving both garnet and clinopyroxene in the residue.

    Notes: Summary Twenty volunteers aged between 20 and 57 years were given 197 mg of theophylline (as lysine theophylline) by iv infusion over 5 minutes to test the hypothesis that within the adult age range theophylline clearance declines with age. Samples were assayed for theophylline using the EMIT assay and clearance was determined by standard methods. Clearance values were 0.73 ml/min/kg below age 38 years and 0.75 ml/min/kg at and above age 38 years. Multiple regression analysis using age as a continuous variable showed no relationship between age and clearance.

    Constraints on the origin of Archean trondhjemites based on phase relationships of Nûk gneiss with H2O at 15 kbar (1988)

    Notes: Abstract We report the T-X(H2O) phase relations for the trondhjemitic Nûk gneiss which comprises the principal component of the second phase of Archean (3.0–2.8 by) igneous activity in the Godthåb region of southwestern Greenland. A pressure of 15 kbar was chosen to place constraints on possible protoliths for trondhjemitic melts at lower crustal depths. Under H2O-saturated conditions, a melting interval of ∼135° C separates the solidus at ∼610° C from the liquidus at 745° C. H2O-saturation at 15 kbar occurs at approximately 15.5 wt % H2O. The H2O-undersaturated liquidus extends along a curved path from ∼745° C at 15.5 wt % H2O to ∼1100° C at 2% H2O. Lower H2O contents were not investigated. At low H2O contents (〈6%) sodic plagioclase (Pl, An32) is the liquidus phase followed at lower but still near-liquidus temperatures by quartz (Qz) and then garnet (Ga). At 6% H2O, Ga replaces Pl on the liquidus and is joined at slightly lower temperatures by Pl and hornblende (Hb). The field for liquidus Ga extends to only ∼7.5% H2O where it is replaced by Hb which is the liquidus phase up to 13% H2O. At all higher H2O contents, epidote (Ep) is the first phase to crystallize, followed by biotite (Bi) at slightly lower temperatures. Following the standard inverse approach, the near-liquidus phase assemblages are interpreted as potential residues from which trondhjemitic melts could be extracted. At high melt H2O contents (〉7%), mafic residues consisting of some combination of Hb, Ga, Ep, and Bi are possible and could correspond to amphibolitic source rocks. At lower melt H2O contents (〈 5%), possible residues consist of Na-Pl+Qz±Ga and could correspond to an earlier generation of tonalitic-trondhjemitic rocks. However, such residues would not impart the highly fractionated REE patterns characteristic of Archean trondhjemites. If a first generation of tonalitic-trondhjemitic melts was generated by higher pressure partial fusion of eclogite and emplaced at 55 km depth, it would crystallize to an assemblage consisting almost entirely of Na-Pl+Qz with highly fractionated REE patterns. These rocks in turn could be partially melted to yield a second generation of trondhjemites which would inherit the highly fractionated REE patterns because neigher Pl nor Qz is capable of significantly fractionating HREE from LREE.

    The system tonalite-peridotite-H2O at 30 kbar, with applications to hybridization in subduction zone magmatism (1989)

    Notes: Abstract We present data on the phase relationships of mixtures between natural tonalite and peridotite compositions with excess H2O at 30 kbar, and on the composition of the piercing point where the peridotite-tonalite mixing line intersects the L(Ga,Opx) reaction boundary. These data, in conjunction with earlier analogous data along peridotite-granite and basalt-granite mixing lines, permit construction of a pseudoternary liquidus projection that is relevant to interaction of peridotite with slab-derived magmas. Knowledge of the liquidus phase and temperature for a range of compositions within this projection enables us to map primary crystallization fields for quartz, garnet, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and olivine, and to estimate the distribution of isotherms across the projection. Using this projection, we explore the consequences of peridotite assimilation by mafic to intermediate (basalt to dacite) hydrous slab-derived melts. Progressive assimilation under isothermal conditions results in garnet precipitation as the melt composition traverses the garnet liquidus surface and then garnet+orthopyroxene crystallization once the melt reaches the L(Ga,Opx) field boundary. The melt is constrained to remain on this field boundary and further assimilation of peridotite simply results in continued precipitation of garnet+orthopyroxene until the melt is consumed. The product is a hybrid solid assemblage consisting of Ga+ Opx. It is noteworthy that this process drives the melt composition in a direction nearly perpendicular to the mixing line between peridotite and the initial melt. If assimilation occurs with increasing temperature (as might occur if a slab-derived magma rises into the hotter mantle wedge), intermediate magmas (e.g. andesites) will again precipitate garnet until they reach the L(Ga,Opx) reaction boundary at which point Ga re-dissolves and orthopyroxene precipitates as the melt composition moves up-temperature along this boundary. The product of this process is a hybrid solid assemblage with garnet subordinate to orthopyroxene. For more mafic initial compositions (e.g. basalts) originally plotting in the Cpx field, it appears possible to avoid field boundaries involving garnet and shift in composition more directly toward peridotite, if assimilation is accompanied by a sharp increase in temperature. Considering published REE evidence (arguing against garnet playing a significant role in the genesis of many subduction-related magmas) in light of our results, it appears unlikely that peridotite assimilation by intermediate magmas under conditions of constant or increasing temperature is an important process in subduction zones. However, if assimilation is accompanied by an increase in temperature, our data do permit the derivation of high-Mg basalts from less refractory precursors (e.g. high-Al basalts) by peridotite assimilation.
