    Notes: Abstract— Amino acids may be involved in primary afferent excitatory neurotransmission in the spinal cord. To test this possibility the effect of chronic dorsal root section on amino acid levels of the rabbit spinal cord has been investigated. Dorsal roots L6-S2 were sectioned under anaesthesia. Control animals were subjected to similar surgical procedures but the dorsal roots were left intact. Electromyogram recordings taken 6 days after surgery confirmed the absence of sensory input to the lower lumbosacral cord of dorsal root sectioned animals although motor function was retained. In contrast to this control animals exhibited normal reflex activity. The spinal cord was removed from each animal and extracted in trichloracetic acid for subsequent analysts of amino acids on an autoanalyser. Sections of cord were retained for histological determination of neuronal degeneration. Comparison of amino acid levels in dorsal root sectioned and control animals revealed that the only excitatory amino acid to be significantly reduced by dorsal root section wasaspartic acid (–50 percent X although glutamic acid was also reduced (– 30 per cent). Two inhibitory amino acids, cystathionine and GABA, were also significantly depleted (– 50 and - 35 per cent). The possible involvement of these amino acids in spinal cord neurotransmission is discussed.

    Notes: Summary When cells carrying the plasmids RP1, pDS4101 (a ColK derivative) or pDS1109 (a ColE1 derivative) were maintained in chemostat culture in the absence of antibiotic selection, plasmid-free segregants were not detected after 120 generations of nutrient-limited growth. By contrast, plasmid-free segregants of pMB9- and pBR322-containing cells arose after approximately 30 generations, irrespective of the host genetic background. However, even though pDS1109 was maintained its copy-number fell five-fold during 80 generations of limited growth. It is suggested that loss of pBR322 occurs following a similar copy-number decrease which results in defective segregation of the plasmid to daughter host cells. This defective segregation was not complemented in trans by either RP1 or pDS4101.
