    Notes: Abstract The possible role of electrostatic interactions for membrane binding and pore formation of annexin V has been analysed on the basis of a simple dielectric model. It is suggested that the binding of phospholipids to annexin V is regulated, at least initially, by the protein's electrostatic potential. The calculations show that a strong local gradient of the electrostatic potential exists at the membrane-protein interface and a membrane pore may be generated by electroporation. The observed specificity and regulation of ion conduction is suggested to reside in the protein part of the pore. On the basis of the three-dimensional structures of the protein and its hypothetical membrane complex, and electrophysiological measurements, a mechanical model of the transmembrane voltage regulation of the annexin's ion conduction properties is proposed.

    Notes: Abstract A novel group of hyperthermophilic rod-shaped motile methanogens was isolated from a hydrothermally heated deep sea sediment (Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California) and from a shallow marine hydrothermal system (Kolbeinsey ridge, Iceland). The grew between 84 and 110°C (opt: 98°C) and from 0.2% to 4% NaCl (opt. 2%) and pH 5.5 to 7 (opt: 6.5). The isolates were obligate chemolithoautotrophes using H2/CO2 as energy and carbon sources. In the presence of sulfur, H2S was formed and cells tended to lyse. The cell wall consisted of a new type of pseudomurein containing ornithin in addition to lysine and no N-acetylglucosamine. The pseudomurein layer was covered by a detergent-sensitive protein surface layer. The core lipid consisted exclusively of phytanyl diether. The GC content of the DNA was 60 mol%. By 16S rRNA comparisons the new organisms were not related to any of the three methanogenic lineages. Based on the physiological and molecular properties of the new isolates, we describe here a new genus, which we name Methanopyrus (the “methane fire”). The type species is Methanopyrus kandleri (type strain: AV19; DSM 6324).

    Notes: Abstract An extremely thermophilic anaerobic fermentative eubacterium growing at temperatures between 50 and 80°C (opt.: 65°C) was isolated from an Icelandic hot spring. The cells were Gram-negative motile rods, about 1.8 μm in length, and 0.6 μm in width occurring singly and in pairs. About 50% of the cells formed large spheroids at one end similar to Fervidobacterium nodosum. The new isolate H 21 differed from Fervidobacterium nodosum by a 6 mol % higher GC-content of its DNA (41 mol %), its ability to grow on cellulose, and insignificant DNA homology. The lipids of isolate H 21 were similar to that of members of “Thermotogales”. 16S rRNA sequencing of isolate H 21 and Fervidobacterium nodosum indicated (a) that isolate H 21 represents a new species of the genus Fervidobacterium which we name Fervidobacterium islandicum and (b) that the genus Fervidobacterium belongs to the “Thermotogales” branch.

    Notes: Abstract The autotrophic carbon fixation pathway was studied in the thermophilic hydrogen oxidizing eubacterium Aquifex pyrophilus and in the thermophilic sulfur reducing archaebacterium Thermoproteus neutrophilus. Neither organism contained ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase activity suggesting that the Calvin cycle is not operating. Rather, all enzymes of the reductive citric acid cycle were found in A. pyrophilus. In T. neutrophilus ATP citrate lyase activity was detected which has not been achieved so far; this finding corroborates earlier work suggesting the presence of the reductive citric acid cycle in this archaebacterium. The reductive citric acid cycle for autotrophic CO2 fixation now has been documented in the eubacterial branches of the proteobacteria, in green sulfur bacteria, and in the thermophilic Knallgas bacteria as well as in the branch of the sulfur dependent archaebacteria.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das Sozialgefüge einer Schar Graugänse ist weitaus komplizierter, als es das monogame Fortpflanzungssystem erwarten ließe (Collias &Jahn 1959,Fischer 1965,Kalas 1979,Rutschke 1982). Ganterpaare, die häufig über Jahre hinweg bestehen bleiben, sind für tiersoziologische Untersuchungen interessant, weil ihre Funktion nicht im Rahmen der Fortpflanzung gesehen werden kann. Welche Bedingung begünstigen die Bildung von Ganterpaaren, und welche Verhaltensmechanismen tragen zum Entstehen und zur Aufrechterhaltung dieser Verbindung bei? Die Zusammensetzung der Grünauer Graugansschar 1973–1988 zeigt, daß die Anzahl der Ganterpaare von einem Überschuß von Männchen in der Schar abhängt. Das Verhalten von 6 Ganterpaaren wurde untersucht und mit dem von heterosexuellen Paaren verglichen. Innerhalb eines Ganterpaares entsprachen sich die Partner in der Häufigkeit von agonistischem sowie sozial-bindendem Verhalten. Homo- und heterosexuell verpaarte Ganter zeigten sich im Verhalten vergleichbar. Der Ganter eines Ganterpaares unterschied sich jedoch in der Häufigkeit aller untersuchten Verhaltensweisen von dem der heterosexuell verpaarten Gans. Folgende Schlußfolgerungen und Hypothesen bieten sich an: (1) Pseudo-weibliches Verhalten bei einem der Ganter scheint nicht die Bildung von Ganterpaaren erklären zu können. Beide Ganter verhalten sich rein männlich und behandeln den Partner so, als ob dieser ein Weibchen wäre. (2) Ein Mangel an gegengeschlechtlichen Schargenossen fördert die Bildung von homosexuellen Paaren und aufzuchtsbekannte Vögel werden dabei vorgezogen. (3) Ein Zusammenschluß mit einem gleichgeschlechtlichen Artgenossen sollte, verglichen mit der Möglichkeit alleine zu bleiben, eine überlegene Strategie darstellen, da unverpaarte Gänse geringeren Zugang zu Futterquellen haben und eher Raubtieren zum Opfer fallen. (4) Homosexuelle Paare könnten als ein „Puffersystem“ für Ganter angesehen werden, vor allem zu Zeiten in denen das Geschlechtsverhältnis in Richtung der Männchen verschoben ist. (5) Aggression des Ganters richtet sich generell gegen andere männliche Schargenossen. Die Bildung von Ganterpaaren, also besonders aggressiven Paaren, könnte daher dazu beitragen, Ganter aus der Schar zu vertreiben und ein Übermaß von Männchen in der Schar zu verhindern. (6) Da wir zeigen konnten, daß sich homosexuelle Paare oft am Rande der Schar aufhalten und dabei häufig sichern, könnte solchen Paaren eine Art Wächterfunktion zukommen. (7) Andererseits ist es durchaus möglich, daß Ganterpaare bloß ein Epiphenomen einer Graugansschar mit einem Überschuß an Männchen darstellen.
    Notes: Summary For almost two decades a flock of 130 free-flying Greylag Geese (Anser anser) has been the focus of detailed ethological investigations at the Konrad Lorenz Institut in Grünau im Almtal, Austria. Gander pairs, i. e. male-male pairs, represent a prominent social unit in this flock and were the subject of a detailed behavioral investigation. Analysis of the composition and dynamics of the flock over a 15 year period indicated that the incidence of homosexual pairings closely paralleled the male bias of the sex ratio. The behavior of ganders in gander pairs was investigated and compared to that of gander and goose in heterosexual pairs. The behavior of the two males in a gander pair (1) was comparable in most aspects, (2) was similar to the behavior of the gander in heterosexual pairs, and (3) differed greatly from that of the heterosexually paired goose. Therefore, pseudo-female behavior in one partner cannot account for the formation of a pairbond between two males. As a unit, gander pairs were characterized by a higher frequency of offensive agonistic behavior compared to heterosexual pairs and spent significantly more time peripheral to, and away from the flock than did heterosexual pairs.

    Notes: Abstract Hot springs and hydrothermal systems occurring within volcanic areas are inhabited by hyperthermophilic microorganisms, some of which grow at temperatures up to 110 °C. Hyperthermophiles grow anaerobically or aerobically by diverse metabolic types. Within the high temperature ecocystems, primary production is independent from solar energy.
