    Notes: Summary The NSY (Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda) mouse was established as an inbred strain of mouse with spontaneous development of diabetes mellitus, by selective breeding for glucose intolerance from outbred Jcl∶ICR mice. NSY mice spontaneously develop diabetes mellitus in an age-dependent manner. The cumulative incidence of diabetes is 98% in males and 31% in females at 48 weeks of age. Neither severe obesity nor extreme hyperinsulinaemia is observed at any age in these mice. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was markedly impaired in NSY mice after 24 weeks of age. In contrast, fasting plasma insulin level was higher in male NSY mice than that in male C3H/He mice (545±73 vs 350±40 pmol/l, p〈0.05, at 36 weeks of age). Pancreatic insulin content was higher in male NSY mice than that in male C3H/He mice (76±8 vs 52±5 ng/mg wet weight, p〈0.05, at 36 weeks of age). Morphologically, no abnormal findings, such as hypertrophy or inflammatory changes in the pancreatic islets, were observed in NSY mice at any age. These data suggest that functional changes of insulin secretion in response to glucose from pancreatic beta cells may contribute to the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in the NSY mouse. Although insulin sensitivity was not measured, fasting hyperinsulinaemia in NSY mice suggests that insulin resistance may also contribute to the pathogenesis of NIDDM. Since these findings are similar to the pathophysiologic features of human NIDDM patients, the NSY mouse is considered to be useful for investigating the pathogenesis and genetic predisposition to NIDDM.

    Notes: Abstract The biochemical mechanisms for growth tolerance to a 100% CO headspace in cultures, and butanol plus ethanol production from CO by Butyribacterium methylotrophicum were assessed in the wild-type and CO-adapted strains. The CO-adapted strain grew on glucose or CO under a 100% CO headspace, whereas, the growth of the wild-type strain was severely inhibited by 100% CO. The CO-adapted strain, unlike the wild-type, also produced butyrate, from either pyruvate or CO. The CO-adapted strain was a metabolic mutant having higher levels of ferredoxin–NAD oxidoreductase activity, which was not inhibited by NADH. Consequently, only the CO-adapted strain can grow on CO because CO oxidation generates reduced ferredoxin which, via the mutated ferredoxin–NAD reductase activity, forms reduced NADH required for catabolism. When the CO-adapted strain was grown at pH 6.0 it produced butanol (0.33 g/l) and ethanol (0.5 g/l) from CO and the cells contained the following NAD-linked enzyme activities (μmol min−1 mg protein−1): butyraldehyde dehydrogenase (227), butanol dehydrogenase (686), acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (82) and ethanol dehydrogenase (129).

    Notes: Abstract  The A-pathway of development in the basidiomycete fungus Schizophyllum commune may be activated by either of two mating-type loci, Aα and Aβ. Aα consists of two multiallelic genes, Y and Z. Y contains a putative homeodomain; Z contains a homeodomain-related region. Non-self combinations of Y and Z form heteromultimers which are thought to be transcription factors of developmental genes. To more completely understand A-regulated development it is necessary to address the issue of functional redundancy, i.e., how do two different mating loci, Aα and Aβ, both manage to regulate the same pathway. Here we report the structure of a gene with Aβ6 activity. This gene, denoted AβV6, encodes a deduced polypeptide of 640 amino-acids with a homeodomain motif. V6 also contains a 20-amino acid sequence that is conserved in Aα Y1, Y3 and Y4. Except for the homeodomain and the conserved sequence, the deduced V6 polypeptide shows no significant identity to AαY, AαZ, or other known proteins. The presence of a homeodomain suggests that V, like Y and Z, may be a regulatory protein for genes in the A-pathway. Thus while Aα and Aβ encode different proteins, the general mechanism by which Aα and Aβ components signal A-regulated development may be similar.

    Notes: Experiments were conducted with pureed pumpkin to evaluate energy efficiency and microbial reduction effect of a new thin-film Refractance WindowTM (RW) drying method. The RW drying system was designed based on a novel concept that uses hot water circulating beneath and in contact with a transparent plastic conveyor belt on which a thin film of puree is dried. In the energy study, water temperature, water circulation velocity, puree temperature, and puree moisture content were determined. In both pilot and commercial scale RW dryers with circulating water at 95C, drying of pumpkin puree from 80% to 5% moisture content (wb) was achieved in less than 5 min. The Refractance WindowTM dryer demonstrated 52% to 70% energy efficiency. The pilot scale unit was used to evaluate the effect of RW drying on microbial reduction. At a circulating water temperature of 95C, RW drying of inoculated pumpkin purees resulted in at least 4.6, 6.1, 6.0, and 5.5 log reductions of total aerobic plate counts (APC), coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Listeria innocua, respectively.

    Notes: Studies were conducted to determine the potential of ultrasonic energy as a heat transfer enhancing agent in sterilization applications. Metal transducer particles were immersed in warm liquids with and without sonic agitation, and temperature histories were recorded. Convective heat transfer coefficients were calculated from the solution to the lumped convective heat transfer equation. Results indicate that fluid-to-particle heat transfer was significantly enhanced by the use of sonic energy, and that within the range of variables investigated, the amount of enhancement was dependent more on natural convection and standing wave patterns than particle size and energy input per unit mass.
