    Notes: Abstract In studies on digestive processes and microorganisms in the gut of the common woodlouse, Porcellio scaber (Isopoda: Oniscidea), we observed marked contradictions between the activity of cellulolytic enzymes and the number of microorganisms. The anterior hindgut exhibited the highest cellulolytic activity, but was characterized by low microbial counts. Due to the presence of endosymbiotic bacteria in the midgut lobes that appear to produce cellulases, we suggest that the cellulases that are active in the hindgut of woodlice are of endogenous origin.

    Notes: Abstract Maximally contracted detergent skinned coronary smooth muscle fibres are relaxed by lowering the concentration of free Ca2+. The extent and rate of relaxation depends on the concentration of free Ca2+ and calmodulin (CaM) suggesting that it is the Ca2+. CaM complex which is responsible for maintaining tension. At a fixed concentration of Ca2+ and CaM further relaxation can be achieved by addition of the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-kinase). The extent as well as the relaxation rate depend on the concentration of cAMP-kinase (0.01–0.5 μM) and both are antagonized by high concentrations of Ca2+ and CaM. The Ca2+-requirement for obtaining half maximal concentration is shifted from 1.1 μM to 6.3 μM Ca2+ in the presence of 0.5 μM cAMP-kinase. These data indicate that the response of the contractile apparatus to a change in the free [Ca2+] can be modulated by cAMP-kinase at the level of the contractile proteins. It is further suggested that the tone of coronary smooth muscle is determined by the relative and not by the absolute concentrations of Ca2+, CaM and cAMP-kinase.
