    Notes: Electron microscopy of salivary glands of the phytophagous hemipteran Phihia picta infected with Phytomonas serpens revealed the presence of flagellates in the gland periphery beneath the gland envelope, in the gland central lumen, between gland cells in the intercellular space and inside the gland cells. In the latter case, flagellates were found in the cytoplasm whether or not it was surrounded by a vacuolar membrane. Flagellates were always of the promastigote type, sometimes displaying a large twisted body. Morphological peculiarities of flagellates in different gland locations are recorded.

    Notes: Species of trypanosomatids without endosymbionts (Leptomonas seymouri, L. collosoma, L. samueli, Crithidia fasciculata, C. luciliae, C. acanthocephali, Herpetomonas megaseliae, H. mariadeanei, H. samuelpessoai, H. muscarum muscarum, Trypanosoma cruzi) and species of trypanosomatids with endosymbionts (Crithidia deanei, C. oncopelti, Blastocrithidia culicis) were comparatively studied by means of electron microscopy. Artificially aposymbiotic strains derived from species with symbiont were also included in the survey. Species with symbiont were found to differ in some ultrastructural aspects from the group of species without symbiont. Paraxial rods of flagella or intraflagellar structure were found exclusively in species without symbiont. Peripheral branching of mitochondria, accompanied by absence of subpellicular microtubules in sites where the mitochondrial branches are appressed to the cell membrane, were found exclusively in species with symbiont. Networks of kinetoplast DNA fibrils were found to be larger and looser in species with symbiont. Symbiont-free strains of species with symbiont retained the same morphological characteristics of their parental species.

    Trypanosomatids, Other Than Phytomonas spp., Isolated and Cultured from Fruit (1989)

    Notes: Trypanosomatids were isolated from edible fruit. One of the isolates (from tangerine) presented a set of enzymes for the metabolism of arginine-ornithine similar to that of Leptomonas spp., and failed to be recognized by monoclonal antibodies specific for Phytomonas spp. The possibility that trypanosomatids other than Phytomonas spp. could infect fruit was further examined by inoculating tomatoes with species of Crithidia, Leptomonas and Herpetomonas. Some of these flagellates multiplied in tomatoes. Besides, house flies became infected with Crithidia sp. when fed on tomatoes experimentally inoculated with this flagellate. Therefore, isolation of a trypanosomatid from a plant should not constitute an absolute criterion for placing it in the genus Phytomonas.

    Life Cycle and Culturing of Phytomonas serpens (Gibbs), a Trypanosomatid Parasite of Tomatoes (1989)

    Notes: Pure cultures of a trypanosomatid isolated from tomato fruits infected laboratory-raised tomatoes and nymphs of the hemipieran coreid Phthia picta. The flagellate could be transmitted back and forth from tomatoes to insects. Light and electron microscopy studies were done on culture, tomato and insect forms. Examination of enzymes of the ornithine-arginine metabolism revealed absence of arginase and presence of arginine deiminase and citrulline hydrolase. Monoclonal antibodies specific for Phytomonas spp. reacted positively with tomato and insect forms. Endonuclease digestion of the k-DNA of various Phytomonas spp. revealed a unique, distinctive pattern for the tomato flagellate. This flagellate thus seems to constitute a separate species of Phytomonas which we now call Phytomonas serpens (Gibbs).

    Monoclonal Antibodies for the Identification of Trypanosomatids of the Genus Phytomonas (1989)

    Notes: Monoclonal antibodies have been produced against culture forms of Phytomonas francai and Phytomonas serpens parasites, respectively, in cassava roots and tomato fruits. These monoclonal antibodies have been tested against 5 other Phytomonas spp. isolated from plants and 14 species of trypanosomatids of various genera. Monoclonal antibodies were found to react exclusively with Phytomonas spp., always giving negative results with other trypanosomatid genera. Thus, these monoclonal antibodies seem to be an effective tool for the identification of phytomonads among insect trypanosomatids.

    Guidelines for the Description of New Species of Lower Trypanosomatids (1983)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Morphological, cultural, and biochemical criteria that have been used in describing lower trypanosomatids, genera Blastocrithidia, Crithidia, Leptomonas, Herpetomonas, Rhynchoidomonas, and Phytomonas are reviewed. Kinetoplast structure, carbohydrate utilization, electrophoretic mobilities of isoenzymes, and kDNA fingerprinting are among the recommended criteria for species differentiation. Temperature, pH, and osmolarity tolerance are useful growth parameters. Generic placement may be assisted by the determination of nitrogenous excretion products and ornithine-arginine cycle enzymes.

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. Twelve strains of Crithidia, which fall into 8 species, were tested for occurrence of enzymes of ornithine-arginine metabolism. The following enzymes were investigated: arginase, ornithine carbamoyltransferase, argininosuccinate lyase, citrulline hydrolase, arginine deiminase and urease. Arginase and argininosuccinate lyase were found in all species. Citrulline hydrolase was also found in all but the 2 strains carrying endosymbiotes C. deanei and C. oncopelti. On the other hand, ornithine carbamoyltransferase was found only in these 2 strains. Arginine deiminase and urease were absent in all strains. The existence of a common enzymatic pattern for species of the genus Crithidia is thus reported.

    Enzymes of the Ornithine-Arginine Metabolism of Trypanosomatids of the Genus Herpetomonas (1978)

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. Five strains of trypanosomatids, Herpetomonas megaseliae, H. samuelpessoai, H. muscarum muscarum, H. muscarum ingenoplastis and a newly isolated Herpetomonas sp., were examined for the enzymes of arginine-ornithine metabolism. Ornithine carbamoyltransferase (E.C. 2.1.3.3) and argininosuccinate lyase (E.C. 4.3.2.1) were detected in cell extracts of H. megaseliae, H. samuelpessoai and H. muscarum muscarum but not of others. Both enzymes seemed repressible by arginine, which could account for their apparent absence in H. muscarum ingenoplastis and Herpetomonas sp., which grow in a complex, arginine-rich medium. Additionally, arginine deiminase (E.C. 3.5.3.6) and citrulline hydrolase were detected in cell extracts of the 5 strains examined. This latter enzyme, previously described only in Tetrahymena, effects the single-step hydrolysis of citrulline into ammonia, ornithine and CO2. Arginase (E.C. 3.5.3.1) and urease (E.C. 3.5.1.5) were not found in any of the strains examined. Some of the physicochemical characteristics of the enzymes encountered are described.

    Notes: Among the 372 phytophagous Hemiptera examined, 133 insects of 28 species (Coreidae 18, Pentatomidae 7, Pyrrhocoridae 2, Lygaeidae 1) were infected with trypanosomatids. Gut infections only were found in 68.4%, gut and salivary gland infections in 29.3% and salivary infections alone in 2.3%. Fifty-one cultures were isolated from 38 insects. Cultures were characterized by assay of certain ornithinc-arginine metabolism enzymes and by indirect immunofluorescence against monoclonal antibodies specific for Phytomonas spp. Ten cultures were identified as either Crithidia or Leptomonas. Twenty-one promastigote cultures had an enzyme pattern hitherto recorded only for Leishmania and 16 cultures were identified as Phytomonas.

    Notes: Trypanosomatids recently isolated from the plants Euphorbia pinea, E. characias, E. hyssopifolia, Manihoi esculenta (cassava) and Lycopersicon sp. (tomato) plus the McGhee-Postell isolate of Phytomonas davidi have been examined for the presence of enzymes of ornithine-arginine metabolism. Arginase (EC 3.5.3.1) was not detected in the flagellates examined whereas arginine deiminase (EC 3.5.3.6) and citrullinehydrolase (EC 3.5.1.20) were present in all organisms. Phytomonas davidi and the isolate from E. hyssopifolia, besides these enzymes, also had ornithine carbamoyltransferase (EC 2.1.3.3). The enzymic constitution of these flagellates is compared from a taxonomic standpoint to that of previously studied trypanosomatids.
