    Notes: Summary Ferrochelatase in membrane preparations fromAzospirillum brasilense displayed an activity of 2.17 μmol protoheme formed · h−1 · mg protein−1 which is 10-fold greater than previous reports for other bacteria. This ferrochelatase showed an apparentK m of 20.9 μM for Fe2+, a pH optimum of 6.0–6.5, and stimulation by oleic or stearic acids. Co2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ inhibited the incorporation of Fe2+ into protoporphyrin IX while Ni2 and Mg2+ had no effect on protoheme synthesis. Activity with Fe2+ and mesoporphyrin IX was less than with protoporphyrin IX but deuteroporphyrin IX produced the highest rate of protoheme synthesis. The membrane fraction containing ferrochelatase activity was found to insert Cu2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Co2+ enzymatically into protoporphyrin IX to produce metalloporphyrins. Cu2+ incorporation into protoporphyrin IX proceeded at a rate greater than with Fe2+ and theK m for Cu2+ was 21.9 μM.

    Notes: Abstract A review of factors governing vegetation change in heathlands and grasslands is presented, with emphasis on soil factors. Climate, microclimate, fire, fauna, grazing by vertebrates, grazing by invertebrates, disease, dispersal, establishment, competition, allelopathy, stabilization, soil formation and podzolization are discussed with emphasis on inconsistencies and lacks in our present knowledge. Examples are mainly from NW European Calluna heath and related woodlands.
