    Notes: Nucleotides from yeast RNA were evaluated for their ability to enhance the non-specific immune responses in carp, Cyprinus carpio. Oral administration of nucleotides to fish daily for 3 days resulted in enhanced responses of phagocytic and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) activities in kidney phagocytic cells. This activation of kidney cells was observed for at least 10 days post-treatment. The serum complement and lysozyme activities also increased in fish treated with nucleotides. Furthermore, the number of Aeromonas hydrophila in nucleotide-treated fish significantly decreased in the blood, kidney and liver after intraperitoneal injection. Thus yeast nucleotides appear to enhance non-specific immune responses in fish.

    Notes: In the present study, we tested whether the pineal organ of ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis), an osmerid teleost close relative of salmonids, harbours a circadian oscillator regulating rhythmic melatonin release using flow-through culture. The pineal organ maintained under light/dark cycles released melatonin in a rhythmic fashion with high levels during the dark phase. A circadian rhythm of melatonin release persisted in constant darkness for at least four cycles. Characteristics of the circadian rhythm (free-running period, phase and amplitude) exhibited small variations among cultures when the data was normalized, indicating that this system is sufficient for the analysis of the circadian rhythm both at qualitative and quantitative levels. Six-hour extension of the light phase from the normal onset time of the dark phase or exposure to constant light for 36 or 48 h before transfer to constant darkness significantly inhibited melatonin release. Phase shifts in the circadian rhythm of melatonin release were also observed. Thus, the ayu pineal organ contains all the three essential components of the circadian system (a circadian clock, the photoreceptor responsible for photic entrainment of the clock, and melatonin generating system as an output pathway). This system should provide a useful model for analysing the physiological and molecular basis of the vertebrate circadian system. In addition, further comparative studies using salmonids and related species including ayu will provide some insight into the evolution of the roles of the pineal organ in the vertebrate circadian system.

    Notes: Two feeding experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), to discriminate the sufficiency of a single essential amino acid in diets using self-feeders. In experiment 1, 12 groups of 23–24 fish (initial weight; 25.3 ± 0.5 g) were acclimated to a casein-based low protein diet (crude protein, CP = 10%) for 2 weeks. They were then offered for 32 days a combination of two wheat gluten-based diets fortified by crystalline amino acids (CP = 40%), with a complete amino acid composition (complete) and a composition deficient in either methionine (Met-def) or lysine (Lys-def) (six groups per treatment). In the complete and Met-def diet selection groups, no specific preference for either of the diets was observed. However, in the complete and Lys-def diets selection groups, a preference for the complete diet increased gradually (P 〈 0.05, for the last 8-day period). In experiment 2, 12 groups of 21–22 fish (initial weight; 27.6 ± 0.5 g) were acclimated to a casein-based high protein diet (CP = 40%) for 2 weeks, and then the complete diet and one of the amino acid-deficient diets were offered alternately for 8-day intervals over 32 days (six groups per treatment). In the complete–Met-def diet groups, overall daily feed consumption (g tank−1) increased gradually, but that for the Met-def diet seemed nearly stable. In the complete–Lys-def diet group, feed consumption when the complete diet was offered increased, while it then decreased after the complete diet was replaced with the Lys-def diet. These results indicate that trout discriminate sufficiency of lysine in diets and regulate their feed consumption.

    Notes: The present study was conducted to investigate whether individual rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss can simultaneously anticipate two daily meals, and to evaluate the influence of time-restricted feeding schedules and light-dark (L:D) cycles on the timing of self-feeding activity. Individual rainbow trout were capable of anticipating not only a single meal but also two daily meals scheduled at different times; the duration of anticipation was short and precise. This seems to be the first convincing evidence to show that a single fish can simultaneously anticipate two daily meals. Change in the onset and cessation of light did not affect the duration of food-anticipatory activity, although it led to shift the phases of the light-related self-feeding activity. Moreover, under constant light and ad lib feeding conditions, only one band of rhythmic activity was observed in individual rainbow trout that had previously developed food-anticipatory activity to each of the two daily meals.

    Notes: Abstract Cell suspension cultures of Thalictrum minus L. var. hypoleucum Miq. were found to produce a large amount of berberine (400–800 mg/l) when 5–10 μM 6-benzyladenine was added to Linsmaier and Skoog's medium containing 100 μM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid. Most of the berberine produced was released continuously from the cells into the liquid medium, and an excess of berberine crystallized as its nitrate in the medium. When the cells were cultured in a modified LS medium containing 20 mM KNO3 and 40 mM NH4Cl in place of 20.6 mM NH4NO3 as nitrogen source, most of the alkaloid crystallized to form berberine chloride instead of nitrate. Minor alkaloids, thalifendine and magnoflorine, were also isolated from the medium and identified.

    Notes: Abstract Cell suspension cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Gardenia jasminoides and Nicotiana tabacum were capable of glucosylating esculetin to esculin (7-hydroxycoumarin-6-O-β-D-glucoside). Especially, a culture strain of Lithospermum erythrorhizon was superior in the esculetin glucosylating capability; 40 to 50% of esculetin administered to the culture medium at early stationary growth stage was converted into esculin within 24 h. The rate of glucosylation was also dependent on the growth stage and the medium composition especially growth hormones and sugar.

    Notes: Gamma alumina, γ-Al2O3, was fractured in an atmosphere of acetylene monomer at room temperature to test whether they would be polymerized by mechanochemistry method on the surface of the alumina. The experimental results were obtained by serveral different methods, including CP-MAS 13C-NMR, ESR, pressure drop measurements of the monomer, optical absorption spectroscopy, and solvancy. The results proved the mechanochemical polymerization of acetylene monomer on surfaces of the fractured alumina. Several other combinations of either silica and acetylene monomer or polymers and acetylene monomer were tested for mechanochemical polymerization. This process proceeded with less efficiency in the silica system but no mechanochemical polymerization of acetylene was found in the combinations of the polymers and acetylene monomer.

    Notes: Mechanochemical polymerization of ethylene was found to be induced by fracture of γ-alumina under quite low pressure and room temperature. The factors to control the polymerization yield, for example, calcination temperature of the alumina, spin concentration after ball milling, milling time, and changes of acidity before and after the fracture, were investigated in order to know the polymerization mechanism. It was found that the polymerization yield did correlate not with the spin concentration responsible to paramagnetic species produced by the fracture, but the calcination temperature of the γ-alumina and the milling time. The resultant polymeric material on the fractured alumina was extracted alumina was extracted with solvents, and the fraction extracted with petroleum ether was characterized using GC and GC mass spectrometer. The results indicated that odd-numbered linear hydrocarbons were produced, although the major products of this polymerization were even-numbered. It is concluded from the accumulated experimental results that a carbonium ion mechanism rather than radical mechanism is probable for the mechanochemical polymerization induced by fracture of γ-alumina.

    Notes: Poly(methyl methacrylate) free of initiators was synthesized by γ-irradiation and cast into transparent films. The samples were investigated by ns pulse radiolysis at various temperatures, and by ESR spectroscopy after γ irradiation at 77°K. Short-lived transients with optical absorptions at 440 and 725 nm were observed. The 440 nm absorption has been ascribed to the cation and the 725 nm absorption (εG = 3000 M-1 cm-1 (100 eV)-1, τ1/2 = 190 ns at -13°C, Ea = 6.5 kcal/mol) to the anion. These assignments are based on ESR data of samples of poly(methyl methacrylate) and pivalic acid methyl ester deuterated at the ester deuterated at the ester and α-methyl groups, respectively, and subjected to thermal annealing and photobleaching. The anion decomposes on photobleaching by loss of the ester ·CH3 radical, and the cation is proposed to decay by loss of the ·CH3 radical from the α-methyl group. The thermal decay of the anion is discussed.
