    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé On a fait ce travail pour determiner si le facteur responsable pour la liaison de calcium par un calcifableBacterionema matruchotii est dans la fraction lipide de la cellule. Des cellules congelees et sechees ont ete extraites par le chloroform-methanol. La fraction de chloroform-methanol, les cellules extraites et les cellules non traitees ont ete examinees pour la liaison de calcium. La fraction du chloroform-methanol et les cellules non traitees avaient la liaison de calcium. Les cellules extraites n'en avaient pas.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit wurde durchgeführt um festzustellen, ob sich der Faktor für die Calcium-bindung, durch das calcifizierendeBacterionema matruchotii, in der Lipoidfraktion befindet. Die lyophiilisierten Zellen wurden mit Chloroform-Methanol extrahiert. Die Chloroform-Methanol-Fraktion, die extrahierten Zellen, sowie die nicht behandelten Zellen wurden auf eine Calciumbindung hin untersucht. Die Chloroform-Methanol-Fraktion und die nicht behandelten Zellen demonstrierten eine Calciumbindung. Die extrahierten Zellen hingegen nicht.
    Notes: Abstract This work was done to determine whether the factor responsible for calcium binding by a calcifiableBacterionema matruchotii is in the lipid fraction of the cell. Freeze-dried cells were extracted with chloroform-methanol. The chloroform-methanol fraction, the extracted cells and untreated cells were examined for calcium binding. The chloroform-methanol fraction and the untreated cells bound calcium. The extracted cells did not.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Chez le rat, des expériences ont montré que, sauf de rares exceptions, les calcifications produites au site d'injection d'acétate de plomb, de chlorure de cérium, chlorure de calcium ou de permanganate de potassium sont complètement prévenues ou fortement inhibées par l'application locale simultanée de provocateurs calciphylactiques, mais non par des agents non provocateurs. Malgré quelques exceptions (attribuées à des interrelations chimiques spécifiques entre certaines des substances utilisées), cette curieuse corrélation entre l'efficacité calciphylactique provocatrice et le pouvoir anticalcergique est, d'après le test χ2, hautement significative (P〈0,001).
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Nach subcutaner Injektion von Bleiacetat, Ceriumchlorid, Calciumchlorid oder Kaliumpermanganat tritt an der Injektionsstelle eine starke Verkalkung auf. Bis auf sehr wenige Ausnahmen kann diese durch gleichzeitige lokale Anwendung von calciphylaktischen Provokatoren verhütet oder weitgehend unterdrückt werden. In dieser Beziehung sind nicht provolatorisch wirkende Stoffe inaktiv. Trotz der wenigen Ausnahmen (die wahrscheinlich auf spezifische, chemische Wechselwirkungen zwischen manchen der untersuchten Substanzen beruhen) ist dieser merkwürdige Zusammenhang zwischen calciphylaktisch provozierender und anticalcergischer Aktivität, nach dem χ2-Test berechnet, statistisch hochsignifikant (P〈0,001).
    Notes: Abstract Experiments on rats indicate that, with very few exceptions, the calcification which occurs at subcutaneous sites of treatment with lead acetate, cerium chloride, calcium chloride or potassium permanganate is completely blocked or severely inhibited by simultaneous topical application of calciphylactic challengers but not of non-challengers. Despite the few exceptions (which are thought to depend upon specific chemical interactions between some of the compounds tested) this singular correlation between calciphylactic challenging and anticalcergic potency, is highly significant by the Chi-square-test (P〈0.001).

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La liaison du calcium par le sulfate de chondroitin C a été étudiée en utilisant des méthodes biologiques et physicochimiques pour la détermination quantitative du calcium ionique. Les valeurs moyennes pour logK j, le logarithme de la constante de formation non corrigée d'un complexe calcium-sulfate de chondroitin C, sont 1,64 par la technique de cœur de grenouille, 1,55 par la méthode de murexide, 1,39 par l'ultrafiltration et 1,04 par l'électrode sélective du calcium. L'ordre de grandeur de ces valeurs suggèrent que le sulfate de chondroitin C a une capacité de liaison pour calcium relativement élevée, mais les valeurs calculées pour un paramètre d'échangeK p indiquent que le calcium a une affinité faible pour le polysaccharide.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Bindung von Calcium mit Chondroitinsulfat C wurde untersucht mittels biologischer und physikalisch-chemischer Methoden für die quantitative Bestimmung des ionischen Calciums. Im Durchschnitt ergab logK j, der Logarithmus der unkorrigierten Formationskonstante für einen Calciumchondroitinsulfatkomplex, 1,64 mit der Technik des Froschherzens, 1,55 mit der Murexidmethode, 1,39 mittels Ultrafiltration und 1,04 mit den Calciumselektiven Elektroden. Die Größe dieser Werte zeigt, daß Chondroitinsulfat eine relativ hohe Bindungskapazität für Calcium hat, die berechneten Werte für einen AustauschparameterK p jedoch, daß Calcium eine kleine Affinität für Polysaccharide hat.
    Notes: Abstract The binding of calcium by chondroitin sulfate C was studied by employing biological and physicochemical methods for the quantitative determination of ionic calcium. Mean values for logK j, the logarithm of the uncorrected formation constant for a calcium-chondroitin sulfate complex, were 1.64 with the frog heart technique, 1.55 with the murexide method, 1.39 with ultrafiltration and 1.04 with the calcium selective electrode. The magnitude of these values suggests that chondroitin sulfate has a relatively high binding capacity for calcium, but calculated values for an exchange parameterK p indicate that calcium has a low affinity for the polysaccharide.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Atrophie osseuse d'immobilisation était induite par section de la plexus brachial et/ou désarticulation de la coude. Après 9 bis 12 semaines de désuétude huméri intactes furent examinés par rayons X et leur qualités physiques déterminés. Les humérientiers furent isolés, dégraissés, desséchés au poids constant, et leur teneur en cendre d'os et collagène déterminés. Huit des 10 huméri immobilisés monstrérent radiodensité diminué. La jambe inusitée monstra perte parallèle en poids sec et poids sans gras (−23.2%), en collagène (−25.3%), et en cendre d'os (−26.1%) en comparaison de la jambe normale. Les données monstrèrent que la portion plus grande du tissu osseux perdu en atrophie osseuse d'immobilisation est remplacée par de l'eau, du gras, et des autres matériels organiques inconnus plutôt que par tissu fibreux, et que collagène est perdu en proportion du minéral. La perte proportionellement plus grande du collagène et de la cendre d'os que du poids sec et poids san gras semble dû à une augmentation du matériel organique, non-collagéne, non-lipide, kprobablement protéine.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Immobilisations-Knochenatrophie wurde in 10 erwachsenen Hunden herbeigeführt durch Brachialplexusschnitt und/oder Ellenbogenexartikulation. Nach 9–12 Wochen der Immobilisation wurden die intakten Humeri unter Röntgenstrahlen untersucht und ihre physischen Eigenschaften bestimmt. Derintakte Humerus wurde isoliert, entfettet, zu konstantem Gewicht getrocknet und der Knochenaschengehalt und Kollagengehalt bestimmt. Acht der 10 experimentellen (immobilisierten) Humeri demonstrierte Beweis von verringerter Röntgendichte. Die immobilisierte Extremität zeigte ähnlichen Verlust in trockenem, fettfreiem Gewicht (−23,2%) in Kollagen (−25.3%) und Knochenasche (−26,1%) im Vergleich zur normalen Extremität. Die Date deuten an, daß der Hauptanteil des Verlustes des Knochengewebes (bei Immobilisations-Knochenatrophie) von Wasser, Fett und anderen unidentifizierten organischen Substanzen ersetzt wird, als von Faserngewebe und daß Kollagen und Knochenasche im gleichen Verhältnis verloren gehen. Der größere, proportionale Verlust an Kollagen und Knochenasche, eher als der Verlust an fettfreiem Gewicht, scheint in der Zunahme an nicht kollagener, nicht lipoider, organischer Substanz, vermutlich Protein, zu liegen.
    Notes: Abstract Disuse bone atrophy was induced in 10 adult dogs by means of brachial plexus section and/or elbow disarticulation. After 9 to 12 weeks of disuse intact humeri were examined by X-ray, and their physical properties determined. Thewhole humeri were isolated, defatted, dried to constant weight, and their mineral and collagen content determined. Eight out of 10 experimental (non-used) humeri demonstrated evidence of decreased radiodensity. The non-used limb demonstrated parallel loss in dry, fat-free weight (−23.2%), in collagen (−25.3%), and in mineral (−26.1%), as compared to the normal limb. The data indicated that the major portion of the lost bone tissue in disuse osteoporosis is replaced by water, fat, and other unidentified organic materials rather than fibrous tissue, and that collagen is lost in equal proportion to mineral. The proportionatelly greater loss of collagen and mineral than of dry, fat-free weight appears to be due to an increase of non-collagenous, non-lipid organic material, presumably protein.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Erhöht man die extracelluläre Calcium-Konzentration, so verschieben sich die Stromextrema der Strom-Spannungsbeziehung des Ranvier-Knotens nach Depolarisationsrichtung. Mit Hilfe einer Gleichung zur Darstellung der Kennlinien läßt sich diese Wirkung durch Änderung eines einzigen Parameters V Tγ beschreiben. Dieser gibt die Spannungslage des Abfalles einer Stufenfunktion wieder, die im Rahmen der Ionentheorie der Kaliumleitfähigkeitsvariablen n ∞ 4 (V) entspricht. Durch Erhöhung von [Ca··] a wird V Tγ nach Depolarisationsrichtung verschoben. Darüber hinaus konnte eine deutliche Abhängigkeit dieses Parameters von [K·] a festgestellt werden. Der Calcium-Einfluß auf das Membranpotential konnte als Konsequenz der Vt r −-Verschiebung interpretiert werden.
    Notes: Summary An increase of the extracellular calcium-concentration shifts the extreme current values of the current-voltage-relation of a Ranvier-node towards depolarization. This influence can be described by the change of one single parameter V Tγ of an equation representing the current-voltage-characteristic. V Tγ referres to the potential at which the s-shaped step-function of resistance change assumes the arithmetical mean of its limiting values. The step-function compares to the variable of potassium conductance n ∞ 4 (V). An increase of [Ca··] a shifts V Tγ towards depolarizing potentials. V Tγ is also found to depend on [K·] a . The influence of calcium on membrane potential is interpreted as a consequence of the observed shift of V Tγ .

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 1. The calcium induced increase in ATPase and the rate of calcium uptake of the vesicular fragments of sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle are reduced by reserpine, prenylamine, chlorpromazine and imipramine. 3×10−5M reserpine, prenylamine, chlorpromazine and ∼3×10−4M imipramine are required to produce 50% inhibition of both activities. 2. In the presence of the drugs the rate of calcium exchange at the cessation of calcium uptake is reduced to the same extent as the initial rate of calcium uptake. 3. Neither the calcium storing capacity nor the ability to concentrate calcium are impaired by the drugs. 4. The drugs do not affect the calcium dependent phosphate exchange between ATP and ADP and the calcium dependent formation of phosphoprotein.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 1. Reserpin, Prenylamin, Chlorpromazin und Imipramin hemmen sowohl die Geschwindigkeit der Calcium-Aufnahme als auch die der Calcium-induzierten Extra-ATP-Spaltung an isolierten Vesikelmembranen des sarkoplasmatischen Reticulums von quergestreifter Muskulatur des Kaninchens. Die für eine 50%ige Hemmung erforderlichen Konzentrationen betragen beim Reserpin, Prenylamin und Chlorpromazin 3×10−5M, beim Impiramin ∼3×10−4M. 2. Calcium-Efflux und -Influx werden durch die Pharmaka in gleichem Ausmaß gehemmt. 3. Das Konzentrationsvermögen der Vesikel für Calcium wird deshalb durch die Hemmstoffe nicht beeinflußt. 4. Der erste Reaktionsschritt des aktiven Calciumtransports der Vesikel — die Übertragung des Phosphates des ATP auf das Vesikelprotein — wird durch die Pharmaka nicht beeinflußt.

    Notes: Summary Local anesthetics (LA's) were examined for their ability to inhibit medullary catecholamine release from perfused cat adrenal glands in response to calcium (0.5 mM) in the presence of 56 mM KCl. LA's which are esters of p-aminobenzoic acid (including benzocaine), or which possess either an amide group (dibucaine), an amidine group (phenacaine), or an amino alkyl ether linkage (diphenhydramine) all produced a graded inhibition of the action of calcium, which was reversed by excess calcium (3 mM). Benzocaine, which does not possess an alkyl amino nitrogen, was five times more potent than procaine in depressing calciumevoked secretion; benoxinate, as well as tetracaine, which differ from procaine and its dimethyl analogue by possessing substituent groups on the aromatic ring were over thirty times more potent than procaine and dimethyl-procaine. Increasing the pH of the perfusion medium from 7.0–8.3 produced no marked alteration in the ability of procaine, tetracaine, and benzocaine to inhibit the stimulant actions of calcium. It is concluded that the aromatic ring of the LA molecule is more important than the alkyl nitrogen in determining the activity of a given agent in blocking the action of calcium.

    Notes: Summary The influence of stimulation frequency on the course of the transmembrane action potential (AP) and on the isometric tension of isolated guinea pig papillary muscles has been investigated. Special attention has been paid to the question whether the observed changes can be due to a frequency dependent increase of the extracellular concentration of Ca2+ and K+. The following results have been obtained: 1. The amplitude of the AP decreases at a stimulation frequency above 2/sec due to a diminished membrane-resting-potential (MRP) and a decrease in overshoot. 2. The duration of the AP is influenced biphasically by increasing the stimulation frequency at relatively low external calcium concentrations (1.2 and 2.4 mM). When the frequency of stimulation is increased, starting at 0.125/sec, the AP duration is prolonged at first and then shortened. At frequencies below 0.125/sec (down to 0.004/sec) the AP duration again increases. The prolongation of the AP in the medium frequency range (between 0.125 and 0.5/sec) is minimal at a higher calcium concentration (4.8 mM). The marked shortening of the AP duration caused by an increase in stimulation frequency above 1/sec corresponds to the frequency dependent increase in isometric tension of the papillary muscle. 3. The AP duration is shortened by 70 msec when the stimulation frequency is raised from 1/sec to 5/sec. After switching back to the lower frequency (1/sec) the disappearance of the frequency effect on the duration of the AP starts with a lower and continues with a higher speed than that on the force of contraction, the original values of both parameters being reached at the same time. 4. The extent of the frequency induced change of the AP duration is almost equal at 30%, 60% and 90% repolarisation. Consequently, the duration of the “plateau” (at 30% repolarisation) is shortened relatively more than the AP duration at 90% repolarisation. 5. The AP duration at 90% repolarisation is influenced by Ca2+ and Na+ antagonistically according to the relation [Ca2+]/[Na+]2 in the frequency range between 0.125/sec and 4.0/sec. In contrast, the extent of the shortening of the “relative duration of the plateau” depends on the external sodium concentration ([Na+] e ). The lesser shortening of the “relative duration of the plateau” at a decreased [Na+] e (70 mM instead of 140 mM) corresponds to a decreased positive inotropic frequency effect. 6. The MRP is decreased by 8 mV when the stimulation frequency is increased from 1/sec to 5/sec. Considering the relation between MRP and [K+] e at a stimulation frequency of 1/sec a frequency induced increase of [K+] e from 5.9 mM to 8–9 mM can be assumed. Such an increase in [K+] e , however, only causes a shortening of the AP duration by 6 msec. Concomitantly, the relative duration of the plateau is prolonged. 7. The shortening of the AP duration of about 70 msec due to an increase of the stimulation frequency from 1/sec to 5/sec equals—as does the augmentation of the contractile force of the muscle—the effect of a two—or threefold elevation of the external calcium concentration. Similarly the lengthening of the AP duration by an increase in stimulation frequency from 0.125 to 0.5/sec at a relatively low external calcium concentration (1.2 mM) equals the effect of raising the [Ca2+] e . 8. The results lead to the conclusion that the influence of the frequency of stimulation on the duration of the action potential is caused mainly by an increase of the calcium concentration at the outside of the cell membrane while the decrease of the membrane-resting-potential as well as of the overshoot may be the result of an extracellular accumulation of K+.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 1. Reserpine, chlorpromazine, prenylamine and imipramine are bound to vesicles isolated from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit striated muscle cells as well as by the lipids which can be extracted from the vesicular preparations. 2. At concentrations of 5×10−7 M reserpine, chlorpromazine and prenylamine, drug binding can just be detected. At drug concentrations of 10−4 M the drug uptake amounts to 0.1 μmol per mg vesicular protein, 0.2 μmol drug per mg vesicular lipid and ∼0.4 μmol drug per mg phosphatidylcholine. 3. Drug binding is reversible and temperature independent. 4. Drug binding is not diminished when the phospholipids are hydrolysed by phospholipase A, C or D. 5. Drug binding is abolished by hydrogenation of the isolated lipids as well as of the lipids bound to the membranes. 6. In addition calcium uptake the Ca++ induced increase in ATP breakdown and the phosphate transfer reaction are inhibited when the lipids in the membranes are hydrogenated. 7. The normal ATPase as well as the lipid free proteins myokinase and actin are not affected by hydrogenation.

Bei einer Konzentration von 10−4 M werden Reserpin, Chlorpromazin und Prenylamin von dem intakten Lipoproteinkomplex der Vesikelmembran in Mengen von 0,1 μmol/mg Vesikelprotein, von 0,2 μmol/mg vesikulärem Total-Lipid und von ∼0,4 μmol/mg Phosphatidylcholin (Lecithin) gebunden. Lipidfreies Vesikelprotein hat keine Bindungsfähigkeit. 3. Die Bindung der Pharmaka ist reversibel und temperaturunabhängig. 4. Die Bindungsfähigkeit der Phospholipide ist nicht beeinträchtigt, wenn diese durch Phospholipase A, C oder D hydrolysiert werden. Sie wird jedoch aufgehoben durch Hydrierung der isolierten bzw. der membrangebundenen Lipide. Nach Hydrierung ist auch die Calcium-Aufnahme, die ATP-Extraspaltung und die Phosphatübertragung aufgehoben. 5. Die lipidfreien Proteine Myokinase und Actin werden durch den Hydrierungsvorgang funktionell nicht beeinflußt.

    Notes: A generalized logistic equation is proposed for the mathematical representation of batch culture kinetic data. Properties of the equation are discussed. A computer program is used to fit the generalized equation to both artificial and actual batch culture data. The equation is shown to be capable of fitting data exhibiting lag, exponential, deceleration, stationary, and death phases, as well as diauxic growth. The fitted equation is useful for differentiation, interpolation, and other manipulations of the data, and it is a convenient means of data storage.

    Notes: Micrococcus sodonensis KY 3765 and Arthrobacter citreus KY 3155 were found capable of accumulating IMP in media supplemented with hypoxanthine as a precursor. High concentrations of phosphate and magnesium salts were required for high yields of IMP. Manganese deficiency in the media was also essential. Excessive Mn2+ effects were also seen in the IMP fermentation carried out with an adenineless mutant, of Cornynebacterium glutamicum. In M. sodonensis, R5P-like substances, 5-phosphoribose pyrophosphokinase and IMP pyrophosphorylase, were leaked out, of the cells grown in suboptimal Mn2+ levels. This excretion was inhibited by high levels of Mn2+. Such a phenomenon was not noted in A. citreus. An adenineless mutant (KY 7208) of Brevibacterium ammoniagenes was found to accumulate an appreciable amount of IMP. The chemical changes in this fermentation showed that, hypoxanthine was first produced de novo, excreted, and then reconverted into IMP by a salvage pathway. When hypoxanthine was added to 7208 culture, IMP yield was increased appreciably. In fact exogenous 14C-hypoxanthine was incorporated into 14C-IMP. Subsequent experiments showed that indeed Br. ammoniagenes ATCC 6872, a parent culture of KY 7208, was able to produce IMP, GMP, and AMP, in good yield from hypoxanthine, guanine, and adenine, respectively.

    Notes: The mechanism of oxygen transfer through a pure culture floc of Zoogloea ramigera I-16M has been described quantitatively. Oxygen uptake rates for both blended and nonblended floc particles indicated that, at a certain dissolved oxygen concentration, diffusion of oxygen through the floc matrix was the mechanism controlling the rate of oxygen utilization by the floc. This mechanism was quantitatively described by determining the oxygen diffusivity values for the floc. The diffusional distances of the floc particles along with the oxygen utilization rates of the floc were measured on floc grown under various conditions. Anoxic core equations were then used to calculate the oxygen diffusivity values for each experiment. These diffusivity values were then used to estimate the oxygen concentrations necessary in activated sludge plants.

    Notes: Growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae LBG H 1022 on ethanol under transient-state conditions was studied. As a cultivation device, an aerated Chemap fermentor combined with continuously working gas analyzers for oxygen and carbon dioxide was used. Yeast cell dry matter, substrate concentration, specific oxygen uptake, specific carbon dioxide release, and respiration quotient were measured during the different transient states. Depending on which range of the dilution rate the initial steady state was found, we obtain different responses to the shift experiment. For the lower range, up to D = 0.07, we deal with damped oscillations ranging above and below the steady-state values. For the higher specific growth rates, the rate of damping is strongly enhanced and the shape of the curves becomes an asymptotic approach to the final steady states.

    Notes: A mathematical model based on the Einstein law of photochemical equivalence is proposed to describe the batch growth of unicellular algae. The model was applied in an integrated form to cell concentration versus growth time data taken over an extended range of cell concentrations which include both the regions of “exponential” and “linear” growth. It is shown that a certain function of cell concentration contained in the integrated form of the model is linearly dependent on the growth time over both the “exponential” and “linear” growth regions.

    Notes: Growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae LBG H 1022 on ethanol under steady-state conditions was studied. As a cultivation device, an aerated Chemap fermentor combined with continuously working gas analyzers for oxygen and carbon dioxide was used. Dry matter, substrate concentration, yield, specific oxygen uptake, specific carbon dioxide release, and respiration quotient, as well as nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, hydrogen, and protein content of the cells were measured in dependence on the dilution rate. Cell size distribution, as a function of the specific growth rate, was determined with the aid of a Celloscope 202. A fair agreement with the theory of continuous culture for all metabolic curves could be established. An increased turnover rate resulted from the addition of glutamic acid to the synthetic growth medium. The primary effect of this supplement could be a rise in the flow rate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

    Notes: We have recently constructed a 10-mm, light path quartz cuvet which will accept a Clark oxygen electrode; it is temperature controlled and is suitable for use in a Unicam (Cambridge, England) SP 800 recording spectrophotometer. Several enquiries have prompted this publication, although such an apparatus was mentioned much earlier by Chance and Williams,1 and has been used extensively.Figure 1a, b, c, and d and their legends provide sufficient detail for the construction of the cuvet and provision of the commercially available electrode, quartz faces, stirring motor and disk magnet. Circuit diagrams for temperature control (range 22-38°C., ± 0.2°C.) and stirrer speed control are shown in Figure 2a and b. The cuvet is shown situated in the spectrophotometer cell housing in Figure 3, and the cuvet with its associated equipment is shown in Figure 4.

    Notes: The intracellular levels of seven enzymes in mouse LS cells growing in suspension culture at controlled dissolved oxygen partial pressures (pO2) have been measured. During the growth of each culture large fluctuations were observed in the levels of some enzymes, particularly aldolase and cytochrome oxidase. Mean values for the concentration of each enzyme during the growth phase have been calculated. These results are discussed in relation to previous observations made on the growth of mouse LS cells.

    Notes: Continuous cultivation of the yeast Candida lipolytica on gas oil was studied from the viewpoint of biomass production and oil deparaffination. Optimum conditions wore found at the dilution rate D = 0.16-0.19 when biomass productivity 1.7 g/l/hr and yield coefficient. y = 0.92 were achieved. At deparaffination to the same freezing point, more than double the production of biomass and deparaffined oil during a given time unit was achieved in a continuous process than in batch cultivation. Consumption of substrate was followed in both cultivation processes and it was confirmed that individual n-alkanes of gas oil were degraded at various rates and yields. Results proved optimum cultivation conditions to depend on concentration and composition of the paraffinic fraction of gas oil used. To achieve these conditions the continuous process may be controlled by choice; of suitable dilution rate and concentration of gas oil.

    Notes: The authors have utilized a previously proposed mathematical equation (introduced originally for development of empirical equations) as a useful tool for evaluation of first-order reaction rate constants. By assigning physical significance to the parameter α, the equation can be utilized in obtaining excellent estimates for limiting boundary values and velocity constants.

    Notes: Dried vaccinia virus was found to be very stable in aerosol form in our chamber at a temperature of 75°F and a relative humidity (RH) of 85% when the virus was protected with 1.5% lysine, 1.5% sodium glutamate, 0.5% isoniazid, 0.5% thiourea, and either 2.5% heart infusion broth (HIB) or a combination of 3.75% lactose plus 1.25% raffinose prior to freeze-drying. Utilization of the Environmental chamber technique resulted in (a) selection of two diluents which protected vaccinia virus against the effects of high relative humidity, (b) measurement of the effect of various chemical additives in the diluents, and (c) quantitative measurement of the moisture absorbed by the various dried products.

    Notes: The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of a complex, partially colloidal substrate is divided into oxidation (fo) and synthesis (fs) fractions. The substrate being investigated is a suspension containing 10 mg./l. of dry skim milk. The oxidized and synthesized fractions of the BOD are shown to be 38.4% and 61.6%, respectively. The division of BOD is related to the time at which maximum cell growth appears. The time required to obtain maximum cell production is shown to be at least 10 hr. The relationship between the time to maximum cell production and the apparent initial activity of the seed organisms is discussed.

    Notes: The foam separation technique of microflotation was studied using A. aerogenes as the test organisms. Gas flow rate, collector and alum (when used) concentrations, and frother dose were held constant. In contrast to E. coli, previously reported, A. aerogenes are removed using both lauric acid and laurylamine as the collectors without prior coagulation with alum. The removals are improved after coagulation, with laurylamine being the more efficient collector. In all cases the removals decrease upon increasing the pH above about 8.

    Notes: The rate of dissolution and dehydration of CO2 in a liquid model system was investigated. Components in the model system established the main conditions which may exist, in the extracellular space of a microbiological culture liquid. The charge in voltage of a glass electrode was measured which indicated the formation of H+ ions in the H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3- H+ reaction. The rate of CO2 hydration increased with the increase of temperature from 0 to 40°C. Likewise the equilibrium of the reaction was shifted towards the forward reaction. Similar results were observed when the tip velocity of the impeller was increased. Data suggest that agitation promotes the dissolution of CO2 in the culture liquid through the reduction of gas-liquid film resistance in the diffusion of this gas. The rate of hydration of CO2 into the bulk of the liquid was independent of pCO2 above the surface of the liquid but depended on pCO2 in the gas bubble within the liquid. The concentration of HCO3- was, furthermore, influenced by the buffer components, buffer capacity, and the viscosity of the system. Since pCO2 and the HCO3- concentration in the extracellular space depend on both physical and chemical factors, the ventilation of a culture liquid necessitates both exhaust of CO2 from the gas bubbles of the culture broth and shift of the H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3- + H+ reaction towards the backward direction.

    Notes: A method for the determination of total heat generation in a fermentation tank and overall heat-transfer coefficient at the cooling surface is outlined. These data, which are essential for the design of cooling systems, are measured during the actual fermentation by dynamic analysis of controlled temperature variations. Each experiment consists of two stages: one in which cooling is cut off, and one in which cooling is constant. The necessary temperature variation is so limited that, the course of the fermentation is not affected.

    Notes: A survey of interactions of membrane filters with viruses has included 28 types of membranes, 4 types of enteroviruses, and 1 reovirus. Losses of these viruses in filtration, due to adsorption to the filter membranes, appear to be governed by three factors: the chemical composition of the filter membrane, the ratio of pore diameter to the diameter of the virus particle, and the presence of substances, such as those occurring in serum, which interfere with adsorption. Membranes of cellulose triacetate and of certain other materials have a very low affinity for these viruses. Cellulose triacetate filters adsorb virtually none when the pore size exceeds the virus diameter by a factor of more than 3. At porosities nearer the virus diameter, even low-affinity membranes adsorb large quantities of virus unless serum or some other additive interferes. Cellulose nitrate membranes, in the absence of interfering substances, adsorb enterovirus significantly at a pore size 285 times the virus diameter.

    Notes: An interesting cholinergic compound has been isolated from the fungus Rhizoctonia leguminicola grown on extracts of red clover hay. The compound was characterized as 1-acetoxy-8-aminooctahydroindolizidine and given the name “slaframine.” It has been shown that slaframine is not the active compound but is converted to the active metabolite by liver microsomal enzymes. Physiological studies with slaframine point out that it is a potent stimulator of exocrine glands. In addition, its long duration of action and low toxicity suggest that it may have therapeutic value. Preliminary data suggest that slaframine is a potent stimulator of pancreatic activity, and its long duration of action results in a stimulation of protein synthesis by the gland.

    Notes: Mathematical models have been constructed which relate the depth of the culture fluid overlay to the oxygen available to mammalian cells cultured under static conditions. These models suggest that the maintenance of a given rate of oxygen utilization by some culture systems may be critically depended on this fluid depth and on the solubility and rate of diffusion of oxygen in the culture fluid. The importance of these concepts as applied to the isolation and growth of differentiated cells representative of the tissue of origin are noted.

    Notes: A novel and convenient method for the synthesis of guanosine is described. The reaction of AICA-riboside with sodium methylxanthate gave 2-mercaptoinosine in almost quantitative yield. The latter was oxidized with hydrogen peroxide to afford inosine-2-sulfonic acids, which was readily animated to give guanosine in excellent yield. Similarly, the preparation of N2-methylguanosine and N2,N2-dimethylguanosine, minor constituents of transfer RNA, was also accomplished. Furthermore, this procedure was extended to the synthesis of 2′,3′-O-isopropylideneguanosine and the isopropylidene derivatives of various N2-substituted guanosines from 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-AICA-riboside. Guanosine via 2′,3′-O-isopropylideneguanosine was successfully phosphorylated to give 5′-guanylic acid.

    Notes: The purpose of this experimental study was to examine the transient response of a chemostat-type continuous culture of Escherichia coli B to step changes in temperature by following transient limiting substrate concentration and calculating from it the transient growth rate. The transient response to step changes of temperature was tested for four different situations. In the first two cases, temperature was shifted down from 37 to 27°C., and 37 to 32°C. In the last two, it was shifted up from 32 to 37°C., and 27 to 37°C. When the temperature was shifted up, the growth rate increased rather rapidly to its transient maximum value and then decreased slowly until it, settled back into the steady-state value. On the other hand, when the temperature was shifted down, the growth rate decreased relatively rapidly to its transient minimum and then it slowly increased and returned gradually to the steady-state value. The magnitude of the transients was less than would be expected if the transient growth rates followed an Arrhenius function.

    Notes: Colisan has the formula Lys3Val4Leu3IleTyr and a molecular weight of approximately 1500. Neither N-terminal nor C-terminal group have been found. The peptide is highly resistant to hydrolysis by proteolytic enzymes (pepsin and trypsin). The ∊-amino groups of lysine are indispensable for biological activity, since either deamination or acetylation completely inactivates Colisan. A comparative study with basic peptides like polylysine demonstrated their similarity of action, on one hand, and an antagonistic effect to Colisan, on the other. The fast action of the antibiotic and the specific effect on the cell membranes of many different biological systems (Entameba, Paramecium, erythrocytes, smooth muscle, and others) support the hypothesis that the primary damage occurs in the membrane with consequent alteration of permeability. The leakage of intracellular material (histamine) from mast cells after application of Colisan is in accord with this hypothesis. The results strongly suggest that the biological activity of the peptide is based essentially, but not exclusively, on its basic character.

    Notes: An automatically working test arrangement for the permanent analysis of O2 and CO2 in microbiological cultures is described. The measuring principle is based on the paramagnetic properties of oxygen and on the absorption of infrared by carbon dioxide. The preparation of the gas for measuring and the correction of the recording are indicated. The formula of correction was programmed and the values were calculated for a range of 3%. The routine correction of analysis values is done with a nomogram established on the basis of these individual values. The advantages of the described test arrangement are illustrated by two examples of growth experiments on Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

    Notes: An analysis is presented of the effects on substrate utilization and cell growth of varying the volume distribution of and the input distribution to a model continuous-culture unit consisting of three stirred tanks. The model is used to establish the best volume and input distributions and to indicate the effects of mixing imperfections. The Michaelis-Menten rate expression is utilized, including an endogenous respiration term, and results are presented on unique triaxial charts. Of the distributions considered, maximum substrate utilization is achieved with 60% of the total volume in the first stage, 20% in the second stage, and 20% in the third stage and with all of the input to the first stage. At a constant fractional input to the third stage; variation in the ratio of inputs to the first and second stages has virtually no effect, except in the case that a critical dilution is exceeded. At a constant input ratio to the first two stages, an increase in the fractional input to the third stage always decreases efficiency. Three stages, regardless of relative size, are always better than one. Except for endogenous respiration effects, cell growth parallels substrate utilization.

    Notes: The effect of NaCl on the yield of biological solids and on the ability of continuously cultured heterogeneous microbial populations to remove substrate was assessed by changing the salt concentration in the inflowing synthetic waste. During the period of increasing the salt concentration to 30,000 mg/l the system could not maintain a high substrate removal efficiency. However, after an acclimation period the system regained its former efficiency. Upon diluting the salt out of the system, a significant rise in cell yield was noted as the salt level passed through the range 8,000-10,000 mg/l. It was found that steady operation at a salt level of 8,000 mg/l sustained the cell yield at a high level.

    Notes: Virus quantitation is discussed stressing the discrepancy between the biological titer and the physical virus particle count. When both these techniques are used in conjunction, one can more realistically catalog viral properties. The merits of this technique are exemplified in a study of the growth kinetics and properties of vesicular stomatitis virus in tissue culture.

    Notes: A new concept of tissue culture equipment and procedures was developed for the mass-scale growth of several types of animal tissue cells in monolayers on multiple glass surfaces. Continuous, cell lines, primary and diploid cell strains were grown in this equipment. Cells studied include primary bovine kidney, human diploid WI-38, human foreskin, and mouse CCL1 cells. Photomicrographic comparisons of cells grown by these techniques indicate they are morphologically identical to tissue culture cells grown in glass bottles or tubes. The growth of the tissue culture cells in the propagator was monitored by carbohydrate Utilization and acid production. Large-scale production of viruses and biochemicals on cells grown in the multiple-plate tissue culture propagator was accomplished. Virus titers were equal to those obtained from conventional bottle or tube cultures for several strains of influenza, parainfluenza, and respiratory syneytial viruses. High-titred mouse interferon was also produced in this system. In addition to tissue culture cell production, Eaton agent, Mycoplasma pneumoniae was grown on the multiple glass surfaces on a mass scale.

    Notes: A mathematical model is presented for both batch and continuous cultures of microorganisms utilizing inhibitory substrates. The key feature of the model is the use of a inhibition function to relate substrate concentration and specific growth rate. Simulation studies show that the primary result of inhibition by substrate in a batch culture is an increase in the lag time whereas in continuous culture inhibition by substrate may result in process instability. The model should be of value in investigations of the stability of biological processes used for the treatment of certain industrial wastes such as those containing phenols, thiocyanates, nitrates, ammonia, volatile acids, etc., which are known to be inhibitory to many of the organisms metabolizing them.

    Notes: The growth of batch-cultivated yeast Candida lipolytica on three kinds of gas oil using mineral medium was studied. A linear dependence was found between the production of yeast biomass and the consumption of n-alkanes, while the decrease of freezing point of gas oil during cultivation had a distinct course. This disproportion was explained by different degradation of individual n-alkanes contained in gas oil. The rate of degradation of pentadecane, hexadecane, and heptadecane was the same during the entire cultivation. On the contrary, in the first phase the utilization of shorter chain n-alkanes, nonane to tetradecane, was more rapid while that of longer chain homologs, octadecane to pentacosane, lagged. Rapid utilization of longer chain n-alkanes did not occur before the concentration of the other n-alkanes decreased. Only then the rapid decrease of freezing point appeared.

    Notes: The influence of agitation and aeration on growth and on production of glucose oxidase of Asp. niger has been studied. It was found that both rate of growth and glucose oxidase production was higher at an agitation speed of 700 rpm than at 460 rpm. Further increase in speed of agitation resulted in neither a higher rate of growth nor a higher glucose oxidase activity. Total glucose oxidase activity was highest in a medium containing 5% sugar (at an agitation speed of 700 rpm) and did not get higher when the sugar concentration of the medium was increased to 7%. When pure oxygen was bubbled through the culture the rate of growth of the culture (in the linear phase) was 95 mg. mycelial dry wt./100 ml./hr., and only 61 mg. when air was applied. The glucose oxidase activity of oxygenated culture was double the activity of aerated culture. Viscosity of the homogenized culture became higher with higher concentration of mycelia. The viscosity of oxygenated culture was found to be lower than that of aerated culture.

    Notes: As a rate equation of microbial cell growth, the Monod equation is widely used. However, this equation cannot fully correspond to real courses of microbial cell growth in many batch cultivations. Especially, predicted values based on this equation do not agree with observed values in many continuous cultivations. In this paper, which introduces new concepts of critical concentration and coefficient of consumption activity, the growth rate equation which corresponds to the whole period including lag period is newly derived and characteristics of microbial cell growth in batch cultivation are clarified. Further, applying the new rate equation to continuous cultivation, a general equation with which to calculate cell concentration is derived and characteristics of microbial cell growth in continuous cultivation are clarified. The calculated values of cell concentration based on the new theory showed quite good agreement with the observed values in both batch and continuous cultivation.

    Notes: This is the first part of a systematic study on the mechanisms of the Waldhof fermentor. When an agitator is rotating in a liquid, a vortex will develop on the surface. Air is dispersed into the liquid when the vortex is deep enough to reach the agitator. This is the basic mechanism of air dispersion in a Waldhof fermentor. In this work, experimental results, empirical correlations, and theoretical equations were obtained to relate the vortex depth to a number of physical factors including agitator diameter, agitator speed, tank diameter, liquid depth, liquid viscosity, and so on. The vortex depth was found a function of both Reynolds number and Froude Number.

    Notes: A major problem involved in the direct fermentation of nucleotides is their breakdown by phosphohydrolases. Thus, adenine auxotrophs of most microorganisms produce hypoxanthine and/or inosine rather than inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) while guanine auxotrophs excrete xanthosine rather than xanthosine 5′-monophosphate (XMP). Examination of a Bacillus subtilis mutant producing hypoxanthine plus inosine revealed at least four phosphohydrolases, three of which could attack nucleotides. Even when the extracellular nucleotide phosphohydrolase was inhibited by Cu+2 and its surface-bound alkaline phosphohydrolase was repressed and inhibited by inorganic phosphate, or removed by mutation, the breakdown products were still the only products of fermentation. Under these conditions, the third enzyme, a surface-bound non-repressible nucleotide phosphohydrolase was still active. It appears, at least in B. subtilis, that excretion is dependent upon breakdown by this enzyme and if hydrolysis does not occur, excretion of purine nucleotides is feedback inhibited by the resultant high intracellular IMP concentration. Corynebacterium glutamicum mutants, on the other hand, can excrete intact nucleotides, and direct fermentations for IMP, XMP, and GMP have been described. An examination of phosphohydrolases in a GMP-producing culture revealed no extracellular or surface enzymes. Disruption of the cells resulted in liberation of cellular phosphohydrolase activity with a substrate specificity remarkably similar to the flavorenhancing properties of the 5′-nucleotides. The order of decreasing susceptibility was GMP, IMP, XMP; AMP was not attacked.

    Notes: Polyribonucleotide: orthophosphate nucleotidyl transferase, commonly known as polynucleotide phosphorylase catalyzes the reversible polymerization of ribonucleoside diphosphates with the liberation of orthophosphate. The equilibrium constant is approximately 1.0. Although isolated from a variety of sources, the enzyme occurs essentially as two types: one which does not require a primer for reaction initiation and a second which does. A parallel study of an E. coli preparation representing the first type and an M. lysodeikticus preparation representing the second showed differences other than the primer requirement. Rates of polymerization were different as were the Kms. The E. coli preparation catalyzed the synthesis of polyguanylic acid while the M. lysodeikticus preparation did not although synthesis of hetoropolymers containing guanylic acid was catalyzed by the M. lysodeikticus enzyme. Use of repurified commercial substrates made the validity of some primer-requirement experiments suspect. End group analysis of product polymers served only to raise questions concerning the reaction-initiating compounds and the reaction mechanism. A study of hetero-polymer synthesis showed not only that the rate of polymerization was different, from that of homopolymers but that uncompetitive inhibition rather than competitive inhibition occurred when two ribonucleoside diphosphates were present in the reaction mixture. Furthermore, the experiments showed a preferential uptake of one substrate over another and an “enrichment” which was constant. It has also been shown that RNA polymerase, a DNA-RNA directed polymerase, can be used to synthesize polyribonucleotides if the appropriate template is provided.

    Notes: Substances which cause emesis in pigeons were extracted from corn (Zea mays) artificially inoculated with Fusarium graminearum and from liquid culture medium inoculated with F. moniliforme, F. roseum, F. poae, F. culmorum, and F. nivale. Emetic preparations were obtained also from infected wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell), (Hordeum vulgare L. em. Lam), and durum (Triticum durum Desf). Partial purification resulted from chromatography with columns of cellulose and DEAE cellulose and with thin layers of silica gel. Two active materials were obtained from liquid culture of F. moniliforme but only one from infected cereals. Emetic preparations from F. moniliforme and infected cereals contained a polypeptide as a minor component. Ultraviolet and infrared spectrums, elemental analyses, refractive indices, and amino acid composition of the emetic from corn and one of the emeties from liquid culture of F. moniliforme were similar but not identical. Attempts to crystalline these emetics and to characterize them were unsuccessful.

    Notes: Studies of the possible viral etiology of human leukemia have required large quantities of cultured cells derived from human hematopoietic tissues. Since cultures sufficiently large and free from contamination could not readily be produced according to existing methods, a pilot, cell culture plant has been constructed for the production of mammalian cells in mass quantity. 500-ml to 20-liter trophocell units have already proved to be scientifically and economically practical, as they provide good reliability, excellent growth rates, and sustained yield of human cells. 200-liter stainless steel culture units have now been added to the trophocell system. Five complete 200 liter units are now in operation. The design of the original stainless steel unit was based on that of a stainless steel, jacketed soup kettle. There are no openings in the vessel other than those in the lid, which provide convenient access points for sampling, sensor probes, etc. Environmental parameters, e.g., liquid level, temperature, and pH, are monitored and controlled with commercially available apparatus. Many initial problems connected with the new 200 liter units have been resolved, but operational and design problems remain in the areas of stable instrumentation, cell harvesting, salvaging and reuse of unspent media components, establishment of physiologic steady stale, recovery of virus-containing cells with reculture of the remaining unaffected cells, and the recovery and separation of cell components and special products such as immunoglobulins, interferons, and hormones. A definitive cell plant with culture units of 20, 50, 250, and 1250 liters is now being constructed.

    Notes: New trends and developments in vaccines emphasized the growing need for safety tests of increased complexity, rather than a need for ultrasophisticated and complex devices. The Vaccine Development Branch of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, operating with an annual budget of $6,000,000 has the task of expediting the collaborative efforts of 50 laboratories for developing, producing, and testing experimental vaccine lots. Rubella has a major priority; other priorities are assigned to respiratory syncytial, parainfluenza, adenoviruses, influenza, and rhinoviruses, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. To accomplish this requires a very expensive and complex program involving rapid information exchange and increased emphasis on safety testing with regard to extraneous viruses and the oncogenic potential of the vaccines. The latter need resulted from such experience as that with the Salk vaccine and the tumorproducing potential of some adenoviruses. Electron microscopy has been useful in discovering possible viral contaminants. Of all material produced for experimental work, from 65 to 70% is used for safety tests.

    Notes: It has been demonstrated experimentally that the thickness of fluid overlay in conventional tissue culture systems limits the oxygen available to mammalian cells growing as a submerged monolayer. A rocker culture system is described which circumvents critical problems associated with thin film culture while permitting nearly unlimited access of oxygen to the cell monolayer. Good growth of primary hepatic cells as isolated sheets has been obtained.

    Notes: A 3-liter culture vessel has been developed for the growth of animal cells in suspension at controlled pH and dissolved oxygen partial pressure (pO2). The culture technique allows metabolically produced CO2 to be measured; provision can be made to control the dissolved CO2 partial pressure. In cultures containing a low serum concentration, gas sparging to control pO2 was found to cause cell damage. This could be prevented by increasing the serum concentration to 10%, or by adding 0.02% of the surface-active polymer Pluronic F68. The growth of mouse LS cells in batch culture without pO2 control was found to be limited by the availability of oxygen. Maximum viable cell populations were obtained when dissolved pO2 was controlled at values within the range 40-100 mm Hg.

    Notes: A Candida sp. was grown on a fraction of n-alkanes (dodecane 22%, tridecane 48%, tetradecane 28%) as sole carbon source. The growth rate was increased most markedly by using high concentrations of n-alkanes (16.7% v/v). When grown in a 5 liter fermentor, the yeast reached its highest yield (60 g. of cell dry wt/l) with a concomitant high yield of fatty acids (21 g of fatty acids/l), by using a nitrogen-deficient medium. To achieve good growth, it was essential to use an inoculum (1 part into 10) of rapidly growing cells and beneficial to increase the agitation rate gradually once growth had begun. After 108 hr maximum conversions of substrate to product were: 71.5% (w/w) for alkanes into cells and 24.8% (w/w) for alkanes into fatty acids. Of the, total fatty acids at the end of the fat-accumulating phase of growth 54% were shorter in chain length than palmitic acid (C16H32O2). When grown on glucose, as sole carbon source, less than 2% of the total fatty acids were shorter than palmitic acid. When n-alkanes were added to cells growing on glucose, short-chain fatty acids (C10 to C14) were synthesized immediately, indicating a derepressed enzyme system for hydrocarbon assimilation and the absence of diauxie. The production of these acids was at the apparent sacrifice of linoleic acid synthesis. In spite of the high conversion ratios, it is concluded that it would be uneconomical to produce fatty acids, even expensive ones such as lauric acid, by microbial transformation of n-alkanes.

    Notes: Various multisurface mass-scale tissue culture propagators ranging in capacity up to 200 liters have been developed at Abbott Laboratories. These patented units consist, of an enclosed vessel containing a multiplicity of separated glass plates or disks on which cells may attach and proliferate. Means for mixing and aeration of the medium are provided. Sample ports facilitate the addition of cultures and media, the withdrawal of samples, the washing of cell monolayers, and the harvesting of cells and cell products. The large cell growth surface per occupied volume, the provision for separating tissue cells from media simply and easily, and the minimization of the amount of labor required per cell growth area are some of the many advantages of the multisurface tissue propagator that are described.

    Notes: The herpes-type virus found in certain cell cultures derived from Burkitt's lymphoma, other human leukemias, and normal human leukocytes, was concentrated and partially purified by large-volume density gradient centrifugation using zonal centrifuge systems. Using the Jiyoye (P-3) cell line as a model, rate-zonal runs on disrupted cell suspensions in sucrose gradients yielded concentrates with high virus particle counts when 10-15 ml of packed cells were processed per liter of gradient. Isolation and removal of cell nuclei or fluorocarbon treatment of cell sonicates permitted virus recovery from larger volumes of cells per experiment. Zonal centrifugation of concentrated cell-free spent media from highly infected cell cultures yielded more purified virus than obtained from cells. Viral concentrates were prepared with particle counts of 1010-1011/ml and total protein concentrations of 0.2-0.5 mg/ml. Subsequent isopyenie-zonal centrifugation of the various high-count virus fractions from the zonal centrifuge showed a heterogeneity in buoyant virus density ranging from 1.18 to 1.27 in potassium tart rate. The spread in virus density was attributed to the different morphological forms of the virus observed by electron microscopy.

    Notes: The production of large quantities of microbial mass, or their by-products, frequently requires aeration and mixing of fluid media. This operation often results in copious production of foam which cannot be exhausted with the effluent air or gas. Foam is usually controlled with antifoam agents which may interfere with product purity, oxygen uptake, and with subsequent product, handling. The process herein described obviates the requirement for antifoam agents or other foam-control methods. In essence, the air (or other gases) and foam in the headspace are continuously withdrawn, entrained in the intake side of a self-priming pump, and reintroduced into the bulk of the process liquid medium. The headspace may be enriched with oxygen or other gases.

    Notes: Although the basic parameters for ethylene oxide sterilization are established, it is sometimes difficult to attain in practice where the principal limiting factor is moisture availability. There are situations which can limit or enhance the dynamics of sterilization. Such factors, if overlooked, could upset experiments and lead to erroneous conclusions, or defeat the sterilization process entirety. Such are, namely: stratification effects, diffusion barriers, moisture-reducing effects, polymerization, and temperature distribution gradients.

    Notes: Baby-hamster kidney (BHK) cell cultures grown in rolling 2-liter Baxter bottles are used for the production of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) which is subsequently purified. The bottles are held securely in round wire racks (19 per rack) and rotated on a three-tiered roller mill. The use of a strongly buffered growth medium makes changes of the medium unnecessary. A sheet of aluminum foil is used to seal the cultures. It is pressed tightly over all the bottles in a rack by means of a polyurethane foam sheeting bonded to the underside of a rigid snap-on cover. Special equipment eliminates removing the bottles from the racks at any stage in their use. The loaded racks fit directly onto headers of a glassware washer. Spent cell growth media and virus fluids are collected by inverting an entire rack of bottles-Current production is 400 BHK cultures (21 racks) containing 8 × 108 cells each after 6 days growth. About 344 of these cultures (18 racks) are used to grow virus. The purification process yields about 113 mg of pure FMDV per week; the overall recovery based on infectivity is 32%. The projected maximum production of purified virus in the present facilities is approximately 2.5 times greater than this amount.

    Notes: This study reports some findings on the effects of centrifugation on the viability of mammalian cells. The authors used Burkitt lymphoma cells cultivated in a synthetic medium containing 10% fetal calf serum for all experiments. Batch centrifugations were conducted in a RC2-B centrifuge (Ivan Sorvall, Incorporated, Norwalk, Connecticut USA) operated at 0 and 25°C. During centrifugation we exposed the cells to gravitational fields ranging from 24,800 to 42.200g. The results showed that at, 0°C and 25,800 or 42,000g no loss in cell viability occurred for up to 90 min exposures in the centrifugal field. However, at 25°C and for gravitational fields of 24,800 and 42,000g, there were appreciable losses in cell viability. Continuous centrifugation studies in the Sharples supercentrifuge (Division of Penn Salt Corporation, Warminister, Pennsylvania USA) were also conducted with bowl speeds up to 28,000 rpm (19,000g) and flow rates ranging from 1.4 to 20 1, hr. Slight, losses in cell viability were noted and postulated as caused by the shear stresses encountered by the cells. Some pumping studies using the lymphoma cells substantiate this conclusion.

    Notes: Two experimental methods were used in measuring oxygen-transfer rates. The results indicate that two possible mechanisms are operating in simultaneous gas-liquid interfacial oxygen absorption and biochemical oxidation. One of the mechanisms, the direct absorption mechanism, has not been much studied in bioengineering. Mathematical equations are derived to describe the simultaneous mechanisms.

    Notes: The inhibitory effect of ethanol concentration p in a medium on the specific rates of growth μ and ethanol production ν of a specific strain of baker's yeast was studied in a chemostat, where except for ethanol as the product, only the concentration of glucose S was controlled to limit the metabolic activity of the yeast. This was designed to supplement the previous findings from the batch experiment, in which ethanol was added artificially and no substrate components were limiting the metabolism of the same yeast, that μ = μ0e-k1p and ν = ν0e-k2p, where k1 and k2 are empirical constants and subscript the 0 denotes respective values at p = 0. The effects of p on the values of μ and ν were confirmed by the Lineweaver-Burk plot to belong to noncompetitive inhibition. The formulas here for μ and ν as affected by p, if extrapolated to the case of no limiting substrates, were in good agreement in respective forms with those derived previously from the batch experiment, though the values of corresponding coefficients in these formulas were different. The differential equations for μ and ν as functions of both p and S and, in addition for the rate of glucose consumption as correlated by the yield factors either with the cell growth rate or the rate of ethanol production, were solved properly with a digital computer. A kinetic, pattern calculated so far was discussed with reference to the data obtained in the batch experiment and those relevant to actual “sake” brewing.

    Notes: A relatively simple, autoclavable medium was developed that would support the growth of the mouse fibroblast (MFL) cell line in suspension culture. This medium was prepared in three stages with decreasing quantities of serum. As the serum was reduced from 5% to none, the amount of Bacto-Peptone was increased from none to 0.5%. The reduction and finally elimination of serum did not affect proliferation adversely, but actually seemed to produce more rapid growth and higher levels of cell population.

    Notes: Conditions for the efficient conversion of commercial RNA to nucleoside 5′-monophosphate by means of a phosphodiesterase in malt sprouts have been determined. A comparison of the enzyme content of the rootlets, stems, and kernels of various plant seedlings, including barley, rye, oat, wheat, rice, and beans shows maximum amounts in the rootlets, and minimum quantities in the ungerminated kernels. Of all the seedlings tested, (mung bean, soy bean, oat, wheat, rice, barley) barley gave the highest conversion of RNA to 5′-nucleotides. Commercial malt sprouts prepared from 6 different malted barleys including 2-rowed and 6-rowed samples all showed about the same amount of phosphodiesterase content. Besides phosphodiesterase, other enzymes capable of hydrolyzing RNA and 5′-nucleotides were found in sprouts. These included 3′-phosphodiesterases, 5′-nucleotidases, and nucleosidases. By carefully pretreating both extracts and the solid sprouts at elevated temperatures for a limited time and by the addition of minimum amounts of Zn+2, the action of these undesirable enzymes was either effectively destroyed or minimized so that the production of 5′-nucleotides was maximized. It was found that suspensions of appropriately washed and treated barley malt rootlets are substantially more effective than aqueous extracts for converting RNA to 5′-nucleotides.

    Notes: Rat liver was subjected to three different, disruption procedures (homogenization, explosive decompression, and Chaikoff press) and mitochondria were subsequently isolated by conventional differential Centrifugation and by zonal Centrifugation. The properties of these mitochondria were investigated by polarographic measurement of oxygen uptake and they were examined by electron microscopy. All three methods of disruption gave mitochondria which showed respiratory control. Nitrogen cavitation gave the most reproducible conditions for cell breakage and zonal Centrifugation gave good separation of subcellular organdies in extracts produced by this method. Some separation of the heterogenous mitochondrial populations was achieved by zonal Centrifugation.

    Notes: Toxicological investigations were conducted on two new antibiotics, Muconomycin A and Muconomycin B. These non-nitrogenous antibiotics were found to be highly toxic and capable of inducing profound inflammation in the peritoneal cavity of male albino rats. Either antibiotic produced large volumes (10-20 ml) of inflammatory exudate even when injected intraperitoneally in quantities of 1.6 × 10-10 moles. An extensive profile of the electrolytes and proteins found in inflammatory exudates was developed. Simultaneous assays of the blood serum of treated rats provided a basis for comparing the concentrations of constituents of serum with those of the exudate. The results of these assays showed that the exudate contained lower concentrations of sodium and proteins, and greater amounts of potassium, calcium, and phosphorus than the serum. Chloride ion concentrations were variable. Since previous work showed that one of the manifestations of toxicity of these substances was the production of creatinuria, further studies were carried out with ATP/Creatine Phosphotransferase. These studies show that these antibiotics are potent in vitro inhibitors of the enzyme ATP/Creatine Phosphotransferase.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Isometrische Kontraktionen von elektrisch konstant gereizten linken Meerschweinchenherzohren wurden unter Einwirkung von Noradrenalin, MHIP, Pronethalol und Chinidin bei extracellulären Calciumkonzentrationen ([Ca] e ) zwischen 0,45 und 7,2 mM untersucht. Noradrenalin führte gegenüber den Kontrollwerten bei verschiedenen [Ca] e zu einer Linksverschiebung der Calcium-Konzentrations-Wirkungskurve. Für die ß-Adrenolytica MHIP und Pronethalol zeigte sich eine Abhängigkeit ihrer negativ inotropen Wirkung von der [Ca] e . In niedriger [Ca] e fand sich eine stärkere Verminderung der Kontraktionsamplitude als in höherer [Ca] e . Die Wirkung von Chinidin auf die Kontraktionskraft der Vorhöfe war von der [Ca] e unabhängig. Die ß-adrenolytische Wirkung von MHIP und Pronethalol bei Kombination mit Noradrenalin war bei allen untersuchten [Ca] e gleich. Außer bei 0,45 mM [Ca] e hatte Chinidin keine Wirkung auf den positiv inotropen Noradrenalineffekt.
    Notes: Summary Isometric contractions of electrically driven (180/min) left guinea-pig auricles were recorded under the influence of norepinephrine, ß-blocking agents and quinidine at different extracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca] e ) between 0.45 to 7.2 mMol/l. Norepinephrine shifted the concentration-response curve for calcium to the left. The negativ inotropic effects of the ß-blocking agents MHIP and pronethalol depended on the [Ca] e . At low [Ca] e the force of contraction decreased to a larger extent than at high [Ca] e . The action of quinidine on the contractile force of the guinea-pig auricles was independent of the [Ca] e . The ß-adrenergic blocking action of MHIP and pronethalol was the same at all [Ca] e .

Acetylcholin wurde in einer Konzentration von 3 × 10−5 g/ml 30 sec lang in die Aortenkanüle infundiert. Die Perfusionsflüssigkeit enthielt Atropin (3 × 10−6 g/ml) während der ganzen Versuchsdauer. Die von den Herzen in das Perfusat abgegebenen Catecholamine wurden fluorimetrisch bestimmt; außerdem wurden die Herzfrequenz, die Kontraktionsamplitude und der Coronardurchfluß registriert. Bei verminderter Ca++-Konzentration wurde die Noradrenalin-Abgabe durch Acetylcholin herabgesetzt und bei erhöhter Ca++-Konzentration gesteigert; die Spontanabgabe von Noradrenalin wurde durch veränderte Ca++-Konzentrationen nicht beeinflußt. Erhöhung der Mg++-Konzentration beeinflußte die Noradrenalin-Abgabe durch Acetylcholin bei normaler oder verminderter Ca++-Konzentration nicht. Herabsetzung der Konzentrationen von Na+ oder K+ steigerte die Noradrenalin-Abgabe durch Acetylcholin, sofern die Ca++-Konzentration vermindert war. Erhöhung der K+-Konzentration steigerte die Spontanabgabe von Noradrenalin nicht; die Noradrenalin-Abgabe durch Acetylcholin wurde aber herabgesetzt. Aus den Ergebnissen wird gefolgert, daß die Noradrenalin-Freisetzung durch Acetylcholin aus peripheren, sympathischen Nerven einem Ca++-Na+-Antagonismus unterliegt, wie er schon für die Noradrenalin-Freisetzung durch Acetylcholin aus der chromaffinen Zelle beschrieben worden ist (Douglas). Die Versuche, in denen CaCl2 durch MgCl2 und NaCl durch Saccharose oder LiCl substituiert wurden, brachten Hinweise dafür, daß die Noradrenalin-Freisetzung durch Ca-Ionen gefördert und durch Na-Ionen gehemmt wird. Beim Vergleich der vorliegenden Befunde mit entsprechenden Untersuchungen an der chromaffinen Zelle (Douglas) ergaben sich wesentliche Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Bedeutung der Mg++- und besonders einer gesteigerten K+-Konzentration.
    Notes: Summary The following experiments were done in order to study the effects of alterations in the ionic composition of the perfusion fluid of the isolated rabbit heart on the noradrenaline release caused by acetylcholine. The perfusion fluid contained 3 × 10−6 g/ml atropine throughout the whole experiment. Acetylcholine was infused into the aortic cannula for 30 sec at a concentration of 3 × 10−5 g/ml and this effect was repeated at time intervals of 15 min. Heart rate, contractile amplitude and coronary flow were recorded. The noradrenaline output into the perfusate was measured fluorometrically. Lowering of the calcium concentration decreased the noradrenaline output following administration of acetylcholine. Conversely, elevation of the calcium concentration increased the noradrenaline output. The resting output of noradrenaline was not affected by alterations of the calcium concentration of the perfusion fluid. Magnesium neither antagonized the action of calcium on the noradrenaline release by acetylcholine nor was it effective as a substitute for calcium. Lowering of the sodium or potassium concentration of the perfusion fluid caused an increase in the noradrenaline output following acetylcholine provided the noradrenaline output was initially kept at a submaximal level by decreasing the external calcium concentration. Substantial elevation of the potassium concentration of the perfusion fluid did not affect the resting output of noradrenaline but decreased the output caused by acetylcholine. It is concluded that the release of noradrenaline from the sympathetic nerve ending evoked by acetylcholine is dominated by a calcium-sodium antagonism as previously described for the chromaffin cell (Douglas). The experiments in which CaCl2 was substituted by MgCl2 and NaCl was substituted by sucrose or LiCl provided evidence that calcium ions promote and sodium ions inhibit noradrenaline release. The above findings obtained on the sympathetic nerve endings differ markedly from the results on the chromaffin cell (Douglas) as far as the actions of magnesium or excess potassium are concerned. The effects on noradrenaline output brought about by variations of the ionic concentrations cannot be explained by concomitant alterations of the coronary flow.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Schweine-Hypothalami wurden durch Differentialzentrifugieren fraktioniert und der Noradrenalin- sowie der Eiweiß-Stickstoff-Gehalt der gewonnenen sechs Fraktionen bestimmt. Die Fraktionen III (30 000 g), IV (60 000 g) und V (100 000 g) enthalten den größten Noradrenalin-Gehalt pro mg Eiweiß und stellen somit die spezifischen Fraktionen dar, in denen das Noradrenalin hauptsächlich partikulär gebunden vorliegt. Der molare Quotient Noradrenalin/ATP der Fraktion 30 000–100 000 g beträgt 0,56. Die aminspeichernden Vesikel der Fraktion 30 000–100 000 g wurden 60 min lang bei 37°C inkubiert. Die spontane Noradrenalin-Freisetzung ist mit 31% des Ausgangsgehaltes etwa gleich groß wie die spontane Adrenalin-Freisetzung aus isolierten Nebennierenmark-Granula. Reserpin sowie kleine Prenylamin-Konzentrationen (60 nmol/ml) hemmen die spontane Noradrenalin-Freisetzung, während große Prenylamin-Konzentrationen (1,2 μmol/ml) eine fast vollständige Noradrenalin-Verarmung der Vesikel verursachen. Inkubation mit verschiedenen Calcium-Konzentrationen verursacht eine dosisabhängige Noradrenalin-Freisetzung. Acetylcholin ist ebenfalls in der Lage, die spontane Noradrenalin-Freisetzung zu erhöhen. Bei der gleichzeitigen Inkubation mit Calcium und Acetylcholin konnte keine Addition der Wirkungen der beiden Substanzen festgestellt werden. Reserpin vermag die durch Calcium bedingte Noradrenalin-Freisetzung zu hemmen.
    Notes: Summary In order to study the subcellular distribution of noradrenaline in the hypothalamus this region was removed from pig brains and fractionated by differential centrifugation. From the six obtained fractions fraction III (30,000 g), IV, (60,000 g), and V (100,000 g) contain the highest amounts of noradrenaline per mg protein (69, 60 and 47 ng/mg protein respectively). These fractions represent therefore the main noradrenaline storing fractions of the hypothalamus. The molar ratio noradrenaline/ATP of the vesicles of the fraction 30,000–100,000 g is 0.56. The noradrenaline storing vesicles of the fraction 30,000–100,000 g of the hypothalamus were incubated for 60 min at 37°C. The spontaneous release of noradrenaline amounts to 31% of the original noradrenaline content of the vesicles. It is therefore of the same order of magnitude as the spontaneous release of adrenaline from isolated granules of the suprarenal medulla. Reserpine and prenylamine (60 nmoles/ml) inhibit the spontaneous release of noradrenaline whereas 1.2 μmoles prenylamine/ml deplete the vesicles almost completely. Incubation of the hypothalamus vesicles with calcium chloride (0.31–5.0 μmoles/ml) causes a dose dependent release of noradrenaline. Acetylcholine (55 nmoles/ml) is also able to increase the spontaneous release of noradrenaline. By simultaneous incubation with calcium and acetylcholine no addition of the effects of both substances on the release of noradrenaline could be observed. Reserpine prevents the calcium-induced release of noradrenaline.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le glucose, le glucagon, le tolbutamide et la L-leucine stimulent la libération d'insuline par le pancréas de lapin étudié in vitro. Cette stimulation n'a pas lieu lorsque le milieu d'incubation est préparé sans calcium. L'absence de magnésium n'a pas d'effet sur la sécrétion insulinique stimulée par le glucose, alors que le magnésium à la concentration de 10mM exerce un effet inhibiteur. La concentration optimale du calcium extracellulaire pour la sécrétion insulinique est de 2.64 mM. La stimulation de la sécrétion insulinique par le glucose est également supprimée par l'absence de calcium pour le pancréas de foetus de lapin âgé de 27 jours.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Freisetzung von Insulin aus Kaninchen-Pankreas in vitro wird durch Glucose, Glucagon, Tolbutamid oder L-Leucin stimuliert. In allen diesen Fällen bleibt die Stimulation in Abwesenheit von Calcium in Inkubationsmedium aus. In Abwesenheit von Magnesium stimulierte Glucose die Insulinsekretion weiter, währenddem eine Erhöhung der Magnesiumkonzentration auf 10 mM deutlich hemmend wirkte. Die optimale Sekretion von Insulin erfolgte bei einer Calciumkonzentration von 2.64 mM. In Abwesenheit von Calcium wurde die Freisetzung von Insulin auch aus dem Pankreas von 27 Tage alten Foeten gehemmt.
    Notes: Summary Glucose, glucagon, tolbutamide and L-leucine stimulated insulin secretion from rabbit pancreas studiedin vitro. In each case stimulation was inhibited by omitting calcium from the incubation medium. The omission of magnesium had no effect on glucose stimulated insulin secretion but 10 mM magnesium inhibited secretion. Optimal secretion of insulin occurred at an extracellular calcium concentration of 2.64 mM. The omission of calcium inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreas of 27 day rabbit foetuses.

    Notes: A process for manufacturing disodium 5′-guanylate was devised. 5′-Amino 4-imidazole carboxamide riboside (AICA-R) was accumulated with an amount over 100 times those reported in the literature by fermentation of D-glucose with a non-exacting purineless mutant derived from Bacillus megaterium JAM 1245) by x-ray irradiation. The influence of RNA, amino acids, and salts on AICA-R accumulation was clarified. Appropriate aeration and agitation was found necessary. The (60-hr, cultivation of the medium containing 8% of D-glucose gave AICA-R in the concentration above, 11 g/l. AICA-R thus accumulated was separated from the fermentation broth by ion-exchange technique and subjected to synthetic processes to yield disodium 5′-guanylatc with the yield over 40%, based on AICA-R.

    Notes: The design and operational characteristics of a sell-priming aerator are described. The aerator works without a compressor. H sucks the desired air quantity into the tank and distributes it, uniformly and in very fine bubbles over a certain cross-section. The design and operational characteristics of a mechanical defoamer are described. The defoamer is mounted to the top of the fermentation tank and separates foam by centrifugal force into air and liquid. It is capable of handling foams of different composition and quality without, the addition of anti foam agents. Using submerged vinegar fermentation, production of baker's yeast., and industrial waste, water treatment as examples, the performance of aerators and defoamers of different, sizes is discussed.

    Notes: The alcoholic fermentation of grape juice by a wine yeast was studied batchwise at pH 3.6 and 4.05 to develop kinetic equations relating cell concentration, N, to product concentration, P. In the exponential growth phase \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ dP/dt + BP = A{\rm ln}N/\mu - C $$\end{document} where A, B, and C are constants, and μ is the specific growth rate. In the stationary phase, where the cell population is constant, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ dP/dt = B(P_m - P) $$\end{document} was found to apply. This equation, which incorporates a stoichiometric constant, Pm, predicted correctly the operation of a continuous fermentor at pH 3.6 and at 4.05. To study more fully the effect of alcohol concentration on yeast growth, a continuous fermentor was used in which the grape juice feed was supplemented with pure alcohol. At pH 3.6 the specific growth rate varied as, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ ({\rm 1}/N)(dN/dt) = \mu _{{\rm max}} [{\rm 1} - 0.235(P - 2.6)] $$\end{document} There was no growth inhibition below an alcohol concentration of 2.6 g./100 cc., but inhibition was complete above 6.85 g./100 cc. This is a modified form of the relation suggested by Hinshelwood.1 The data suggest that growth in batch culture was limited not only by alcohol but also by some other factor, probably a nutritional deficiency.

    Notes: In bacterial extraction of copper from low-grade copper sulfide ores, at least three contributions are made by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. They are: (1) enzymatic oxidation and consequent solubilization of insoluble sulfides; (2) regeneration of ferric lixiviant for chemical oxidation and solubilization of insoluble sulfides; and (3) partial fixation of externally introduced iron in the ore. Although it is not possible at the present time to measure each of these contributions separately, it is possible to measure the combined contributions. Such measurements reveal a strong dependence of extraction efficiency on various physical, chemical, and biological factors. The following physical factors may affect the rate of bacterial copper extraction: particle-size of ore, oxygen and carbondioxide supply, oxidation-reduction potential, pH, temperature, adsorption and ion exchange capacity of ore, and surface tension effects. The following chemical factors may influence the rate of copper extraction: the mineralogy of the ore, the nature of the gangue, the distribution of the sulfide minerals in the host rock, the external supply of ferrous or ferric iron, and the availability of inorganic and organic nutrients. Finally, the following biological agents in addition to T. ferrooxidans may influence the rate of copper extraction: fungi, protozoa, Thiobacillus thiooxidans, and heterotrophic bacteria. Proper control of these various factors is essential for efficient bacterial extraction of copper from low-grade ore. It is recognized that the foregoing environmental factors also influence chemical copper extraction.

    Notes: Interfacial phenomena are directly involved in the adhesion of a strain of Chlorella, a unicellular alga, to glass surfaces in simple ionic solutions. The principal mechanisms governing the adhesion appear to be electrostatic interaction between electrical double layers and various specific surface interactions resulting from surface heterogeneity and ion adsorption. Under most conditions the algal cells and glass surfaces have negative zeta potentials, and adhesion to glass will not occur; but if, for example, FeCl3 is added to an algal-glass system immersed in 0.05M NaCl, the algal and glass surfaces will possess very different zeta potentials, and adhesion will be strongest under those conditions which produce the greatest, difference in zeta poentials. Prior pretreatment and usage of glass apparatus greatly affect the glass zeta potentials and the adhesion of algal cells to glass. An apparatus for measuring a relative set of numbers representing the force of adhesion of algal cells is described.

    Notes: For centuries, diverse plant and animal materials have been fermented by various bacteria, yeasts, and fungi to make excellent foods. The kinds of micro organisms used in traditional fermentation are restricted to a relatively few genera, including Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Mucor, Actinomucor, Monascus, Saccharomyces, Neurospora, Acetobacler, Bacillus, and Lactobacillus. The two principal advantages of food fermentations over other processes are to add flavor and to prevent spoilage. Fermented fish is a common food in the Orient and may have been the first product made by fermentation. Flavor is especially important in vegetable diets based on bland foods such as rice. Shoyu is the best, known oriental food fermentation, and it is very widely used as a flavoring agent. Be sides this fermentation, there are a large number of additional ones not so well known outside the Orient, whose products serve as seasoning or flavoring agents. Miso and natto are prepared from soybeans in Japan. Sufu is a cheese like product made from soybean milk in China. Tempeh and ontjom are Indonesian foods prepared from soybeans and peanuts, respectively. These food fermentations are discussed with emphasis on how they are produced and the flavor formed.
