    Utilization of l-alanine as carbon and nitrogen source by Deusulfovibrio HL21 (1986)
    Springer
    Archives of microbiology 145 (1986), S. 272-276

    Notes: Abstract Desulfovibrio HL21 is unable to grow with amino acids as energy substrates. Alanine, serine, aspartate and to some extent glutamate were used as carbon and nitrogen sources in the presence of hydrogen as the energy substrate. Dense cell suspensions converted alanine stoichiometrically to acetate, NH 4 + and presumably HCO 3 - , but at a very low rate. Desulfovibrio HL21 cells grown with alanine as carbon and nitrogen source contained increased levels of NAD(P)-dependent l-alanine dehydrogenase as compared to cells grown with NH4Cl as nitrogen source. Unfavourable kinetic properties of this alanine dehydrogenase, repression of the synthesis of the enzyme by NH 4 + and a low rate of NADH oxidation all have a negative effect on the rate of degradation of alanine and may partly explain the inability of the strain to grow with alanine as an energy substrate.

    Feeding chronology of juvenile piranhas, Pygocentrus notatus, in the Venezuelan llanos (1990)
    Springer
    Environmental biology of fishes 29 (1990), S. 51-57

    Keywords: Fish diets ; Fish feeding ; Diel feeding ; Characidae ; Serrasalminae ; Serrasalmus ; South American fish ; Tropical fish

    Notes: Synopsis During the 1988 rainy season, I studied the 24 h feeding chronology of juvenile (40–68 mm standard length) piranhas, Pygocentrus notatus (Characidae: Serrasalminae) from a natural population inhabiting a small savanna stream in Apure State, Venezuela. Stomach contents analyses, supported by laboratory determinations of digestion rate, showed that these fish are primarily diurnal carnivores. Predatory activity on 4–5 August 1988 increased markedly after sunrise, peaked around 1100 h, and essentially stopped after sunset. Means of stomach content weight-to-fish weight ratios among the periods sampled were significantly different. Small fish were the major prey at all hours (81% of total prey volume). Underlying factors responsible for the observed 24 h feeding patterns were not investigated, but avoidance of predation by adult piranhas, which were very active near sunset, may have been important.

    Comparison of the dynamics of the membrane-bound form of fd coat protein in micelles and in bilayers by solution and solid-state nitrogen-15 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1988)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell
    Proteins: Structure, Function, and Genetics 4 (1988), S. 123-130

    ISSN: 0887-3585

    Notes: Solid-state and solution 15N nuclear magnetic resonance experiments on uniformly and specifically 15N labeled coat protein in phospholipid bilayers and in detergent micelles are used to describe the dynamics of the membrane-bound form of the protein. The residues in the N- and C-terminal portions of the coat protein in both phospholipid bilayers and in detergent micelles are mobile, while those in the hydrophobic midsection are immobile. There is evidence for a gradient of mobility in the C-terminal region of the coat protein in micelles; at 25°C only the last two residues are mobile on the 109-Hz timescale, while the last six to eight residues appear to be mobile on slower timescales and highly mobile at higher temperatures. Since all of the C-terminal residues are immobile in the virus particles, the mobility of these residues in the membrane-bound form of the protein may be important for the formation of protein-DNA interactions in the assembly process.
