    Notes: Abstract: The unicellular organism Trypanosoma cruzi is an eukaryote whose cell cycle mainly occurs under darkness in the insect gut. The unique external phase corresponds to the metacyclic forms, the forms that are able to infect humans, which appear within the insect deyections. Thus, light may be a powerful stressor in this unicell. Epimastigote forms (the parasite forms that grow and transform to metacyclic forms in the insect gut) of Trypanosoma cruzi grow normally when cultured in a LD cycle of 0:24 hr, reaching exponential growth by the 7th day. A pulse of 2 hr of light (LD 2:22) was enough to block the growth of the epimastigotes, an effect that was correlated with the expression of heat-shock proteins during the first 120 min of light exposure. Thereafter, protein synthesis decreased. Light exposure of metacyclic forms also inhibits the parasitization ability. It is known that light regulates the production of melatonin in most animal species studied, including other unicells such as dinoflagellates. T. cruzi contains and synthesizes melatonin and, thus, light-mediated events on the parasite biological cycle could be mediated by light-induced changes in melatonin produced by this unicell. Epimastigotes cultured under continuous darkness produce melatonin over the 24 hr period in a biphasic manner. Coinciding with the melatonin peaks, there was high melatonin efflux from the parasite into the medium. Epimastigotes cultured for 7 days under a LD cycle of 2:22 hr showed a 55% reduction in melatonin content, although this reduction seems not to be related with the growth delay. In fact, incubation of epimastigotes with exogenous melatonin (1 pM) did not affect parasite growth, but significantly reduced their transformation into metacyclic forms by the 7–8th day of treatment. Thus, the light-dependent decrease in melatonin production by the unicell may be responsible, at least partially, for the light-induce parasitization inhibition. Moreover, melatonin production is highest in the metacyclic forms. These data support a link between light, melatonin production and parasitization ability of T. cruzi and suggest the participation of the indoleamine in its biological cycle.

    Notes: Abstract Brønsted acid sites on fluoride-modified AlPO4-Al2O3 (2.5 wt% F; APAl-P-2.5F) catalyst are poisoned by the presence of 2,6-dimethylpyridine (DMPY) and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), thus decreasing the catalytic activity for cyclohexene and cumene reaction processes, while the effect of pyridine (PY) was scarce. Besides, the drop in activity for cyclohexene conversion was accompanied by a change in reaction selectivity so that hydrogen transfer sites are much more sensitive to base poisoning (getting greater as the poisoning effect increased) than isomerization sites. Moreover, surface trimethylsilyl (TMS) complexes (formed by covalent reaction of HMDS with surface hydroxyls) decomposed and thus, the activity progressively increased at increasing time intervals, thus reaching greater values (at ca. 4 h) than the unpoisoned APAl-P-2.5F catalyst. So, DMPY was more suitable than PY and HMDS for the poisoning of Brønsted acid sites on APAl-P-F catalyst.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The efficiency of sour-dough as a possible preservative agent of microbial spoilage of bread depends on its acetic acid content. As a secondary metabolite of sugar fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid may be promoted in the presence of O2 or H+ acceptors. This paper studies the influence of O2 and high fructose content products (pure sugar, invert sugar, fructose syrup) addition on acetic acid production by hetero- (Lactobacillus brevis 25a, B-21, L-62;L. sanfrancisco L-99) and homofermentative (L. plantarum B-39) lactobacilli in whole-wheat sour-doughs [280 and 250 dough yield (DY)]. The pH and total titratable acidity (TTA) of sour-doughs after 44 h fermentation varied with DY and strain. As expected, the addition of O2 promoted greater increases in TTA with heterofermentative lactobacilli (15–42%) than withL. plantarum (15%). Fructose addition was only effective for heterofermentative strains, but the overall effects were smaller than those observed for oxygenation. The ability of lactobacilli to produce acetic acid in sour-doughs without treatment varied from 0.16 g/100 g flour at 44 h (B-39, 280, 350 DY) to 0.47–0.65% (L-62, 280, 350 DY). The production of acetic acid was positively promoted by all treatments. Oxygenation was again the most effective way of inducing acetic acid production; increases ranged from 54% (B-21) to 269% (L-99, 350 DY). The addition of H+ acceptors had variable effects. Pure fructose resulted, in general, in greater increases than invert sugar of fructose syrup. The main effects were detected forL. brevis 25a (280 DY) B-21 (350 DY) andL sanfrancisco L-99 (350 DY) with increases ranging from 92 to 123%. The highest levels of acetic acid (1.02–1.04%) corresponded to sour-doughs (44 h, 35° C shaking 150 rpm) started with L-62 (280, 350 DY) or L-99 (350 DY).
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Haltbarkeit von Sauerteig-Brot gegen mikrobiologische Verderbnis beruht auf seinem Säuregehalt. Als sekundäres Stoffwechselprodukt der Zuckergärung durch Milchsäurebakterien, kann die Essigsäure-Bildung von Sauerstoff- oder Wasserstoffacceptoren gefördert werden. Diese Veröffentlichung befaßt sich mit dem Einfluß von Sauerstoff und Produkten mit hohem Fructosegehalt (Rohrzucker, Invertzucker, Fructose-Sirup) auf die Essigsäure-Bildung durch hetero- (Lactobacillus brevis B-21, 25a, L-62;L. sanfrancisco L-99) und homofermentative (L. plantarum B-39) Laktobacillen in Weizenvollkornsauerteigen (TA 280 und 350). ph-Wert und Säuregrad von Sauerteigen nach 44-stündiger Gärung waren verschieden je nach TA und Stamm. Wie erwartet, verursachte die Zugabe von Sauerstoff eine größere Zunahme des Säuregrades mit heterofermentativen Laktobacillen (15–42%) als mitL. plantarum (15). Fructose-Zugabe war nur wirksam für die heterofermentativen Stämme, aber die allgemeinen Wirkungen waren kleiner als die bei der Behandlung mit Sauerstoff beobachteten. Die Fähigkeit von Laktobazillen, ohne Behandlung in Sauerteigen Essígsäure zu bilden, schwankte zwischen 0.16 g/100 g Mehl (B-39, 280, 350 TA) und 0.47–0.65% (L-62, 280, 350 TA). Die Bildung von Essigsäure wurde durch alle Behandlungen gefördert. Die Behandlung mit Sauerstoff war wieder die effizienteste zur Förderung der Essigsäurebildung; der Anstieg schwankte zwischen 54% (B-21) und 269% (L-99, 350 TA). Die Zugabe von Wasserstoffacceptoren hatte verschiedene Effekte. Reine Fructose ergab im allgemeinen größere Anstiege als Invertzucker oder Fructose Sirup. Die Haupteffekte wurden beiL. brevis 25a (280 TA), B-21 (350 TA) undL. sanfrancisco L-99 (350 TA) mit Anstiegen von 92% bis 123% nachgewiesen. Die mit L-62 (280, 350 TA) oder L-99 (350 TA) hergestellten Sauerteige (44 h, 35 °C, 150 rpm schütteln) ergaben die höchste Gehalte an Essigsäure (1.02–1.04%).
