    Notes: Abstract. Crithidia fasciculata is a trypanosomatid flagellate that parasitizes several species of mosquito. Within the alimentary tract of its host, C. fasciculata exists in two forms: one is a non-motile form, attached in clusters to the lining of the gut, the other a more elongated form swimming freely in the gut lumen. We have developed an in vitro culture system that reproduces the appearance of these two distinct morphological forms. Using two different cultivation methods, shaking and stationary incubations, we have demonstrated that adherence phenotypes are growth-phase dependent. Organisms in the logarithmic phase of growth possess the ability to adhere to substrates; this ability is lost when the organism enters a stationary growth phase. Parasite adherence was independent of cultivation method or substrate. Furthermore, adherent forms of Crithidia maintained their adhesive properties following their removal from substrates. Our data reveal a growth-phase-regulated process of cell attachment that may influence the transmission and dissemination of this parasitic flagellate.

    Screening for bacterial–fungal associations in a south-eastern US salt marsh using pre-established fungal monocultures (2005)

    Notes: Both bacteria and fungi play critical roles in decomposition processes in many natural environments, yet only rarely have they been studied as an integrated community. We examined whether physical associations exist between individual bacterial and fungal species that co-occur on decaying smooth cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora, in a south-eastern US salt marsh. Fungal-pervaded decaying Spartina was used as “bait” for potential bacterial associates. The bundles (infiltrated with one of three dominant fungal members of the decomposer assemblage, or an autoclaved control) were placed in a salt marsh and collected biweekly for 6 weeks during the first experiment (late summer 2002), and weekly for 3 weeks during the second experiment (early summer 2003). Terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of 16S rRNA genes was used to track colonization by bacterial taxa in association with the established fungal species. T-RFLP analysis of 18S-to-28S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions was used to monitor changes in fungal communities once bundles had been placed in the field. Results from both years were nearly identical, and showed that invasion by fungi other than the bait species was slow, resulting in a virtual fungal monoculture for several weeks into the experiments. Surprisingly, bacterial communities were unaffected by the identity of the fungal bait. Regardless of the fungal species, and even in the absence of prior fungal colonization, bacterial 16S rRNA profiles were remarkably similar. These results suggest that few species-specific associations, either positive or negative, exist between bacterial and fungal members of the Spartina decomposer community during initial colonization.

    Notes: The liquid film re-growth behaviour resulting from pulsed laser surface melting (LSM)has been investigated for typical 2xxx, and 7xxx aerospace alloys, both on parent plate and frictionstir welded (FSW) joints. In Zr free alloys, as a result of the high growth rate and steep thermalgradient, the melted layer re-grew with a stable front, epitaxially, from the parent subsurface grains.This caused a thin coarse grained solidified layer to form over the parent material, thermomechanicallyaffected zone (TMAZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ), and fine columnar grains todevelop over the FSW nugget zone of the same order in width as the nugget grain size. In the caseof the Zr containing alloys, a very fine columnar grain structure was found over the entire surface,independent of the subsurface grain structure. This has been shown to occur by growth selectionfrom a band of nanoscale Al grains epitaxially nucleated on Al3Zr dispersoids, at the melt solidinterface, that had not fully dissolved in the melt
