    Notes: Summary Cell bodies of sensory neurons of the rat's hypoglossal nerve were demonstrated by the somatopetal horseradish peroxidase (HRP) transport technique. Labelled perikarya were found within the second and third cervical spinal ganglia and in the vagal sensory ganglia. After application of HRP to the cut peripheral trunk of the hypoglossal nerve about 200 labelled cell bodies were counted in each animal. The vast majority of the axons from cervical spinal ganglion cells reach the hypoglossal nerve via the descending ramus (N. descendens hypoglossi). However, there may exist an additional pathway, probably via the cervical sympathetic trunk. Application of HRP to the medial and lateral end branches led to a labelling of much fewer spinal ganglion cells while the number of labelled vagal sensory neurons remained unchanged. Thus, it is suggested that the majority of the cervical afferents of the hypoglossal nerve originates within the extrinsic tongue musculature and the geniohyoid muscle, whereas the vagal afferents may perhaps derive exclusively from the intrinsic muscles. Histograms of the mean diameters of labelled cell bodies show a predominance of very small perikarya. This contrasts with the diameter distribution of sensory perikarya labelled after HRP application to nerves supplying other skeletal muscles. It is therefore assumed that the afferent component of the hypoglossal nerve is composed mainly of small-calibre axons.

    Notes: Summary Perikarya of motoneurons and spinal ganglion cells attributed to infrahyoid muscle nerves of the rat were labelled by retrogradely transported horseradish peroxidase (HRP). For the differentiation of motor and sensory axons cross sections of the nerves were stained for acetylcholinesterase. Numbers and diameter distributions of perikarya and myelinated axons were determined. Motoneuronal perikarya innervating the infrahyoid muscles are located from the transition zone brain stem/spinal cord to the segment C 3. They are found mostly in the medial part of the Rexed laminae VII and VIII at the level of C 1 and C 2 and more ventrolaterally in C 3 and are therefore located to a large extent in areas until now not recognized to contain motoneurons. Our results provide evidence for a somatotopic organization of the motoneurons in the upper cervical spinal cord. The diameter distributions of motoneuronal perikarya and axons are in most cases bimodal, the two modes corresponding to α-and γ-motoneurons. In relation to the diameters of their perikarya α-axons are significantly thicker than γ-axons. In contrast to the motoneurons no clear correlation could be established between the sizes of perikarya of spinal ganglion cells and their peripheral processes.

    Notes: Summary Sertoli cells have various functions: mechanical (creation of two compartments in the seminiferous tubules, migration of germinal cells), secretory (secretion of anti-Müllerian hormone, inhibin, androgen-binding-protein and estrogen) and phagocytic. We report an ultrastructural study of the rat Sertoli cell during maturation and consider possible correlations between the acquisition of certain morphological characteristics and certain functions. During fetal life, the Sertoli cell possesses differentiated zones of junction with the gonocytes and seems to have a role in the migration of the gonocytes towards the periphery of the seminiferous tubule. The Sertoli cell performs the phagocytosis of the gonocytes which degenerate during their migration, and seems to be the site of production of protein granules, whose presence can be related to the synthesis of anti-Müllerian hormone. After birth and before puberty, when the inclusions resembling secretory granules disappear, the Sertoli cell membranes in contact with spermatocytes II and spermatids differentiate, forming, through the differentiated junctional complexes, two compartments (adluminal and luminal) in the seminiferous tubules. Finally, they acquire the characteristics of active secretory cells, capable, in particular, of steroid synthesis.

    Notes: Summary The adrenergic innervation of rat and guinea pig liver is investigated using the glyoxylic-acid — paraformaldehyde method for fluorescent microscopical demonstration of adrenergic nerves and electron microscopy. The nerve distribution in the parenchyma of both animals is compared. The distribution of the liver nerves as detected with fluorescence microscopy is confirmed electron microscopically. The two species exhibit fundamental differences in their liver innervation: (1) In the guinea pig, a rich innervation is found in the trias as well as in the parenchyma. Many nerves traverse the entire liver lobules and may end near the central vein. The guinea pig hepatocyte innervation seems to be uniformly adrenergic. Electron microscopy shows that the varicosities of these nerves mostly form close contacts to the hepatocytes but also to other hepatic intralobular cells. (2) In the rat, the liver nerves are as a rule restricted to the triads, running mainly with smooth muscle containing blood vessels. It rarely happens that nerves penetrate into the lobule and come into contact with the peripherally located hepatocytes.

    Notes: Summary Phrenic and sciatic nerves of the rat were examined during the initial stages of Wallerian degeneration 4–48 h after axotomy about 5 mm below the level of transection. One of the first changes observed in transected axons was the appearance of glycogen granules and formation of clusters of particulate glycogen at the Schmidt-Lantermann incisures and at the nodes of Ranvier. Four hours after transection, glycogen granules were found at these sites mainly attached to the tubules of axoplasmic reticulum or dispersed in small clusters in the axoplasm. At later stages, glycogen particles increased in number and formed elongated clusters arrayed mostly longitudinally among axonal organelles filling stretches of axons about 2 μm long adjacent to the incisures and in nodal regions. The buld-up of glycogen clusters reached a peak at 22 h after axotomy, when longitudinal arrays of glycogen particles were found at about 70% of the incisures and nodes examined. The percentage of these sites containing glycogen clusters had already decreased 26 h after axotomy. When axonal degeneration advanced and axons contained only floculated material and swollen mitochondria, glycogen granules also disintegrated. It is of interest that glycogen particles accumulate in those regions of the internode where the axon will soon become disrupted during ovoid formation. The possible mechanisms leading to glycogen accumulation at these sites are discussed in relation to the active role of Schwann cells in Wallerian degeneration.

    Notes: Summary Sixteen male Wistar rats, 1 year after injection of streptozotocin or vehicle, were fixed by whole-body perfusion, the brains were removed and processed for light and electron microscopy. Study of semithin sections from the hypothalamic area revealed changes in the arcuate nucleus and median eminence. The lesions, in comparison with controls, were subjected to a blind semiquantitative evaluation. The following changes were observed by light microscopy in diabetic rats: accumulation of glycogen (P〈0.01), degeneration of neurons (P〈0.05), hypotrophy of tanycytes (P〈0.01), and axonal changes. Electron microscopy of diabetic rats revealed that glycogen was increased in neuronal bodies and processes (axons, synapses), also in tanycytes, and glia cells. In neurons were seen: dilated and fragmented endoplasmic reticulum, degranulated ergastoplasm, loss of organelles, increased number of microtubuli, myelin figures, irregulatities in the form of nuclei, and appearance of chromatin. The tanycytes in diabetic animals were reduced in volume, had an increased nuclear cytoplasmic ratio, a reduced number of organelles, short basal processes, and almost complete loss of the apical processes. These changes demonstrate the existance, under experimental conditions, of an encephalopathy pathogenetically related to streptozotocin-induced diabetes.

    Notes: Summary The adult arrangement and the development of stem vessels and capillaries was studied in the rat cerebellum. In principle, stem vessels branch and terminate at three levels: (1) the molecular layer, (2) the Purkinje cell-granular layer, and (3) the cerebellar white matter. All stem vessels are interconnected by the capillary network which is most dense in the Purkinje cell—granular layer. As in the neocortex, the stem vessels of the cerebellum are formed successively during development, so that the later they are formed the more superficial are their terminations. The formation of multiple stem vessels in the depths of fissures and sulci during both pre- and postnatal development may correlate to regional variations in, e.g., mitotic frequency or thickness of the external granular layer. The earliest “endo-parenchymal” branches are formed before the first neurons are present. Capillary growth by sprouting during the postnatal period parallels known regional differences in the timing of the neuronal maturation, e.g., increased synaptic density and oxidative metabolism. The findings in this investigation confirm and extend the results of an earlier morphometric study on capillary development in the cerebellar cortex. Although the angiogenetic factors remain unknown, the hypothesis of a link between the vascularization and the functional maturation of the brain is corroborated by the results. Knowledge of the normal vascular development seems necessary for an understanding of brain morphogenesis and for interpretation of primary pathogenetic mechanisms in various intoxications etc.

    Effects of several lipidosis-inducing drugs upon the area postrema and adjacent medullary nuclei of adult rats (1980)

    Notes: Summary The present study is concerned with the question of whether or not amphiphilic drugs (chloroquine, quinacrine, perhexiline) that fail to induce general lipidosis in the central nervous system (CNS) of adult rats can produce lipidosis in a circumventricular organ (area postrema) not furnished with a blood-brain barrier. Chlorphentermine known to induce general lipidosis in CNS of adult rats served as reference compound. All drugs, when chronically applied in high oral doses, induced significant perikaryal lipidosis in the area postrema. In the adjacent nuclei (nucleus tractus solitarii, nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi, nucleus nervi hypoglossi, nucleus gracilis), only chlorphentermine caused generalized lipidosis, whereas the other drugs had either limited or no effects. The present findings strongly suggest that the exemption, of most regions of the CNS of adult rats, from lipidosis induced by chloroquine and others is due to hindered drug distribution across the blood-brain barrier, rather than being due to non-susceptibility of central neurons toward the lipidosis-inducing action of the drugs.

    Notes: Summary The internal vascularization of the brain was studied in foetuses of normal and protein-deprived rats from embryonic day (E) 12 to 15. The position of vascular branches showed distinct relations to the various zones of the neuroepithelium. The possibility that various parts of the vascular system may differ in function, maturation, and morphogenetic relations to the neuroepithelium must be considered. The distinct vascular layers were therefore given names relating them to the respective wall zone. The ingrowth of straight stem vessels from the epiparenchymal vascular plexus into the neuroepithelium and the formation of vascular branches close to the ventricular system were referred to as stage I of the internal vascularization. The resulting plexus was called the deep vascular plexus of the ventricular zone. Its formation followed the same temporospatial gradients as the formation of the marginal zone. Following the formation of the intermediate zone, more stem vessels entered the neuroepithelium and a superficial vascular plexus of the ventricular zone was formed (stage II). This plexus was positioned close to the border between the ventricular zone and the intermediate zone. Subsequently, vascular branches also formed plexuses of the intermediate and subventricular zones (stage III). No “intraepithelial” vessels were seen on E 12. The temporospatial gradients in the telencephalic vesicles were caudal to rostral and lateral to medial, starting in the parts corresponding to the ganglionic eminence in the floor of the lateral ventricle on E 13. Only the dorsomedial angles of the hemispheres showed no vessels on E 15. No obvious differences were seen between the normal and the protein-deprived foetuses regarding the timing and extent of vascularization or the size and appearance of wall zones in the immature central nervous (I-CNS).

Endoneurial cells with high light-microscopical activity of acid phosphatase were usually located close to blood vessels or near the perineurium. Cells with the ultrastructural appearance of macrophages showed the same distribution and accounted for 2–4% of the endoneurial cell nuclei profiles. These cells rapidly endocytosed carbon particles after endoneurial administration of colloidal carbon in vitro.

    Notes: Abstract The toxic effect of selenium compounds (sodium selenate,d,l-selenomethionine,d,l-selenocystine, dimethyl selenide, and trimethylselenonium ion) was tested in 10-day old male rats. Increasing doses of the compounds were administered an s.c. injection and control animals were not injected. All compounds tested were lethal. Eye lens cataract was induced by the administration of selenate,d,l-selenomethionine, andd,l-selenocystine, while dimethyl selenide and trimethylselenonium ion failed to cause cataract. The cataractogenic effect of the above compounds may be attributed to their interference with glutathione metabolism.

The changes occurred after 35–240 triple pulse stimuli repeated at 0.89 Hz. Median eminence stimulation did not produce any synaptic change. These data show the existence of synaptic plasticity in the neural pathway from the amygdala and pyriform cortex to the medial preoptic nucleus.

    Notes: Summary The distribution and number of hypothalamospinal tract (HST) neurons were studied following injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) at various levels of the rat spinal cord. The hypothalamus was divided into four areas and one nucleus, that is, the dorsal (DHA), posterior (PHA), medial (MHA) and lateral (LHA) hypothalamic areas and the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). The total numbers of HST neurons labeled with HRP varied according to the injection levels: 6,160 (C2 injections), 3,808 (T8), 1,961 (L1), 919 (L7) and 13 (S4). With C2 injections LHA contained 3,464 neurons, which accounted for 56% of the full number of HST neurons; similarly, PVN, 1,114 (18%); MHA, 865 (14%); DHA and PHA, 817 (12%). With L7 injections, LHA contained 444 labeled neurons, which accounted for 48% of the total; PVN, 327 (36%); MHA, 71 (8%); DHA with PHA, 77 (8%). As for the rostrocaudal distribution of labeled neurons, there was only a slight difference between the C2 and L6 injections in LHA, but no difference was noticed in PVN, DHA nor PHA. The present findings suggest that 70% of HST neurons may project to the cervical and thoracic cords. Although the number of labeled HST neurons decreased as the injection sites were placed caudally, no clearcut topographical arrangement was recognized in terms of the spinal projection levels.

    Notes: Summary Swimming in a mammalian quadruped, the rat, is analyzed in kinematic (joint angles) and electromyographic (EMG) terms. Data were collected on the movements of the hip, knee, ankle, and toe joints and three principle extensors and three flexors of the right hindlimb and compared with similar data collected on the same rats during treadmill stepping. The flexion, or protraction phase of swimming and stepping had many elements in common, including a similarity of EMG activity patterns and corresponding limb movements. However, in the extension, or retraction phase, there were notable differences. Although joint-extensor muscles were all coactive in both conditions, the brevity of the swimming extensor phase precluded the characteristic variation in EMG activity levels seen in the extensors in stepping. The flexors, in particular semitendinosus (ST), exhibited bursts of activity at the end of the extensor phase of swimming which were not present during the comparable period of stepping. The extra burst in ST produced a very rapid knee flexion at this time. Whereas the range of hip joint movement was similar in the two conditions, the ranges of the knee and ankle joints were expanded during swimming. Overall, the evidence suggests that swimming is a very rapid form of a basic locomotor pattern in which the extensors are driven to their maximum contraction rate. The extra extension of the limb derives from the absence of ground reaction forces, allowing the knee and ankle joints to fully extend. The added bursts in the flexors remain to be explained. A discussion of these results in terms of current theories of single limb locomotor pattern generation is presented.

    Notes: Summary The relative formaldehyde-induced fluorescence intensities and the diameter of cell nuclei of fluorescent perikarya of the arcuate nucleus were recorded in serial cross-sectioned hypothalamic arcuate nuclei of regularly cycling rats (5 estrous and 4 proestrous animals). Stress-induced changes of cytometric parameters were avoided by preadaptation of animals to handling procedures. Dopamine neurons in a 75 μm thick periventricular layer of the arcuate nucleus exhibited significantly smaller nerve cell nuclei and significantly reduced relative fluorescence intensities in proestrous rats. Both of these cytometric parameters indicate a decrease in the activity of periventricular dopamine neurons of the arcuate nucleus. The reported findings might support the hypothesis that dopamine inhibits the release of LH-RH.

    Notes: Summary Microinjections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were made in different sublobules of the uvula (lobule IX, a, b, and c of Larsell, 1952) of the cerebellar cortex in the rat. These injections resulted in retrograde labeling of cells located in the pontine nuclei. Sublobule IXa receives a predominant input from a single column of cells situated in a dorsointermediate position in the caudal pontine nuclei. Sublobules IXb and IXc receive a pontine projection from two different columns of cells, one medial and one lateral. The location of the labeled cells in the lateral part of the caudal pons suggests a topographic projection to the subdivisions of the uvula. Sublobule IXa receives a projection from a distinct dorsointermediate region and sublobule IXb and IXc receive a projection from partially overlapping ventral regions. The cells of origin in the medial pons are organized such that more dorsally located cells project to sublobule IXc and ventrally located cells project to sublobule IXb with extensive overlap. These differential patterns of projections to the sublobules of the uvula along with other data in the literature suggest that sublobule IXa may be involved with different functional correlates than sublobules IXb and IXc.

    Notes: Summary Electrophysiological methods were employed to study the axonal properties of the neurons of anterior olfactory nucleus (AON), transition zone (TZ), and rostral prepyriform cortex (RPPC) and their projections towards the ipsilateral and contralateral olfactory bulb (IOB, COB) in the rat. Of 91 antidromically driven cells, 39 (43%) and 32 (35%) responded to IOB and COB stimulation, respectively; 20 (22%) were discharged from both bulbs. Collision tests performed on the latter group indicated that these neurons have a short main axon which divides near the soma, projecting one branch to the COB and a thinner one toward the IOB. Mean conduction velocities of axons projecting to the IOB and the COB were 0.4 m/s and 0.7 m/s, respectively, the faster conducting axons having shorter refractory periods. Of the 38 neurons tested, 92% showed decreases in threshold and latency (up to 20% of control antidromic latency) after a test volley that was preceded by a conditioning pulse at intervals of 20–215 ms. Latency decreases were greater for slowly conducting axons than for the faster ones. These after-effects of impulse activity in OB afferent axons were attributed to the presence of a supernormal period of increased conduction velocity and excitability similar to that found in the olfactory nerve (Bliss and Rosenberg, 1974).

    Notes: Summary Male rats were subject to bilateral lesions in the parafascicular nucleus (PF) of the thalamus. The lesions had little or no effect on the performance of a pre-operatively acquired conditioned avoidance response. However, the PF lesioned animals displayed an enhanced response to the dopamine receptor blocking agents haloperidol or pimozide but not to the noradrenaline receptor blocking agent phenoxybenzamine. The results indicate that intralaminar thalamic nuclei and dopaminergic extrapyramidal motor pathways are functionally connected.

    Notes: Summary A method for quantitative studies of the formation rate of bone has been developed. After vital staining with calcein, the fluorescence of a bone section was measured with a microphotometer controlled by a mini computer. After staining the bone structure with alizarin red S in a second step, the section was measured in transmitted light. The two data sets were combined and the shortest distances between the bone surface and the fluorescence lines were computed. With this information the distance distribution and the bone area between the label and the surface could be calculated in two different ways: with the single labeling and the continuous labeling techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of the two methods are discussed and compared with those of other techniques.

    A quantitative histologic analysis of the growing long bone metaphysis (1980)

    Notes: Summary The purpose of this work was to analyze the proximal tibial metaphysis of the 170 g rat in a quantitative histologic fashion which would allow some relation to tissue age to be established. Stained 3 µm thick tissue sections were analyzed with the aid of a Merz grid on an eyepiece reticule and a light microscope. Tissue mass and cell distribution were studied in all areas. The rate of change in tissue mass during aging of the metaphysis was calculated. Two regions of the metaphysis were identified. One, corresponding to the primary spongiosa, less than 4.45 days of age, is a region of high turnover of hard tissue and high numbers of osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells. The other, corresponding to the secondary spongiosa, is a region of relatively low net tissue turnover and low numbers of osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells. Osteoclasts were found relatively more uniformly distributed through the metaphysis than were osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells. The rate of bone formation in the primary spongiosa is 50 times that found in the Haversian bone of the rib of 5-year-old humans and about 500 times that found at the cortical-endosteal surface of ribs of 5-year-old humans. It is argued that both cell distribution and tissue distribution in the metaphysis support the concept that osteoblasts and osteoclasts, rather than osteocytes, are responsible for the maturation of the metaphysis. The inhomogeneous distribution of both cells and tissue in the metaphysis has definite meaning for the interpretation of findings concerning the incorporation of radionuclides into the skeleton.

    Role of growth hormone in experimental phosphorus deprivation in the rat (1980)

    Notes: Summary The demands of growth are known to exacerbate the effect of phosphorus deprivation (PD). We examined whether changes associated with PD could be prevented in young rats in which growth and growth hormone (GH) were eliminated by hypophysectomy (HPX) and whether PD in normal intact rats (INT) was associated with increased secretion of GH. INT or thyroxine- and ACTH-replaced HPX rats were fed one of the three diets: 0.31% P (NP); 0.027% P (LP), and 0.31% P, pair-fed with LP-mates (NP-PF). The results indicate that HPX did not qualitatively alter several physiologic responses to PD: (a) serum and urinary phosphorus (P) decreased and urinary calcium (Ca) increased; (b) net intestinal Ca retention fell and duodenal sac uptake of45Ca rose; and (c) external P balance was restored and duodenal sac uptake of32P-phosphate increased. Only the hypercalcemia seen in INT, LP rats was prevented by HPX. In INT rats serum immunoassayable GH levels, measured in single samples, were not different between different dietary groups while pituitary bioassayable GH was reduced in both LP and NP-PF rats when compared to the NP rats. Thus, except for hypercalcemia, the physiologic responses associated with PD are not prevented by the elimination of growth and GH, and the development of these responses in INT rats was not associated with a consistent or specific alteration in GH secretion.

    Notes: Summary This is a study of the fine structure of cells of the 20-day fetal rat calvarium. Special attention is given to identifying and characterizing preosteoclasts. These cells are relatively common and located largely, but not exclusively, at the endocranial bone surface. The preosteoclasts are characterized by abundant mitochondria, an incomplete perinuclear Golgi apparatus, and variable-shaped dense granules. The dense granules are unique in appearance in that they contain an internal dense matrix surrounded by a clear halo. Most granules are circular in shape but some are elongate or tubular in form. Granules with identical appearance are observed in osteoclasts. The preosteoclasts are mononucleate, or occasionally binucleate. It is suggested that because preosteoclasts are morphologically distinctive and relatively abundant, it should be feasible to separate these cells from a heterogeneous cell isolate.

    Notes: Summary In contrast to a previous report by Shubik, the validity of the 2-stage skin carcinogenesis experiment was demonstrated in the rat. The modified experiment was carried out in female Sprague-Dawley rats using intragastrically administered DMBA as a carcinogen and the topically applied phorbol ester TPA as a promoter. Seven groups of animals were used. Two groups were treated with TPA only, two groups were initiated only with DMBA, two further groups were both initiated and promoted, and one group served as a control. Each of the initiated/promoted groups or only initiated or promoted groups contained one sub-group in which the animals had been bilaterally ovarectomized prior to the experiment. Hyperplasia of the dorsal epidermis occurred only in the promoted and in the initiated/promoted groups. Tumors of the back skin were observed exclusively after initiation/promotion. Ovarectomy — leading to a prolonged survival time of the animals — seems to be crucial for the manifestation of malignant skin tumors. Initiation/promotion also gives rise to tumors of the forestomach, the small intestine, the liver and the colon. Tumors in other organs (especially in the mammary gland and the Zymbal gland) were also be observed after initiation alone.

    Notes: Summary After intravenous injection of 0.1 ml Fluorocarbon (FC) into the caudal vein of rats clear droplets which are reminiscent of gas emboli appear in the pulmonary and cerebral arteries. These droplets cannot be stained with Azan, haematoxylin-eosin, Nile blue sulfate, Sudan black B, and Sudan III in Paraplast embedded or frozen sections. Gas chromatography of affected lung tissue reveals a high concentration of FC. The clear droplets are the histological correlates of FC emboli which lead to haemorrhagic lung infarction and ischaemic brain infarcts. After intralienal injection FC induces haemorrhagic infarcts of the spleen near the injection site and massive embolization of the intrahepatic portal veins with consequent liver cell necrosis. FC droplets are phagocytosed by hepatic sinusoidal lining cells. Due to the absence of a specific method for identifying FC embolization of renal vessies is difficult to assess.

They were neither present in other inner ear structures, nor in other organs tested. The two polypeptides constitute a substantial portion of the total protein of the organ of Corti. Both inner and outer layer of the organ of Corti contained approximately equal amounts of OCP-I and OCP-II. The molecular weights of OCP-I and OCP-II are 37,000 and 22,500 daltons, respectively. The corresponding pI values are 4.9 and 5.1, respectively. In addition, actin and tubulin were detected in both layers of the organ of Corti.

    Notes: Abstract The action of seventeen pesticides (insecticides, fungicides and herbicides) has been studied with short-term in vitro system using rat thymocytes and/or human lymphocytes. The parameters studied were: a) the action of chemicals tested in scalar doses on DNA synthesis of rat thymocytes; b) damage exerted by pesticides on human lymphocyte DNA measured as unscheduled DNA synthesis; c) the interference of chemicals tested with human lymphocyte repair capability after damage exerted on cells by ultraviolet rays. The results obtained suggest that some of tested pesticides don't induce damages to human lymphocyte DNA, some others elicit low DNA repair if compared to the repair following a standard ultraviolet irradiation and some of them (6/17) exert a marked inhibition of cell repair processes after ultraviolet irradiation. Data are discussed on the basis of a possible role played by these substances as carcinogenic agents in the environment.

    Notes: Abstract The oral administration for 5 days of excess 1α,25-dihydroxychole-calciferol [1,25(OH)2D3] at doses of 1, 5, and 25 μg/kg to rats, beginning at the age of 2 or 10 days, produced dose-dependent reductions in weight development and additional calcification near the skeleton. Alizarin red S stained skeleton revealed calcific deposits near the bones of the head, near the neural arches, between the ribs, along the bones both of the fore limbs and, to a lesser extent, of the hind limbs. Historically, the deposits appeared to be localized primarily in the subepithelial connective tissues. Starting treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 (25 μg/kg for 5 days) at the age of 20 days produced additional calcification in 1 of 8 rats at only 1 location (lower jaw). Additional calcification as described above could no longer be induced by 1,25(OH)2D3 in 30-day-old rats using doses up to 25 μg/kg and 10 daily treatments. We conclude that the sensitivity of young rats to 1,25(OH)2D3-induced additional calcification, which differs in localization from that observed in adult rats, decreases with the maturation of the animals.

Neither glucuronyltransferases nor cytochrome c reductase showed significant changes. Most of the mixed-function oxidases studied were inhibited with the exception of ketamine-N-demethylase. The data indicate that bromobenzene or its epoxide acts on cytochrome P-450 but not on all cytochrome P-450 species, and does not affect the reductase and the glucuronyltransferases. Microsomal lipoperoxidation and microsomal H2O2 formation were increased.

    Notes: Summary Seventy-five female Wistar rats of 150 g each were given 3×40 mg/kg body weight nitrosomethylurea (NMU) and 4 weeks later until death (in the 9th–60th week) methylthiouracil (MTU), as a 0.1% solution in their drinking water. After 2 months, in the almost colloid-less thyroid gland individual foci appeared which consisted of sometimes colloid containing follicles with increased cytoplasmic and nuclear basophilia; they increased in number during the subsequent weeks and finally resulted in nodes with different morphologic structures. From the 16th week on there were tumors infiltrating the capsule, and after the 24th week there were angioinvasive carcinomas. Thirteen rats had developed lung metastasization after the 30th week. Cytology could only distinguish between the follicular carcinomas of low differentiation and the follicular adenomas. If these findings are applied to human pathology, one would have to reckon with adenomas which can develop their malignant characteristics without necessarily changing their histologic and cytologic appearance.

    Notes: Summary Sequential studies were made on the histopathologic changes in the glandular stomach of rats induced by a weak carcinogen, N-propyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (PNNG). Fiftyfour rats were given 100 μg/ml of PNNG in their drinking water for 44 weeks, and then normal tap water until the end of the experiment. Rats were killed at intervals between week 1 and week 88. No marked atrophy or ulceration of the mucosa was found between week 1 and the end of the experiment. Focal intestinal metaplasia was found in week 19 and its incidence increased during the experiment. Adenocarcinoma in situ with extreme cellular atypia was found in mucosa with a normal appearance in week 67. An adenocarcinoma invading the submucosa was found in week 69, and one invading the serosa in week 88. All these pathological lesions were found on the anal side of the pyloric region. No pathologic changes were found in the fundic region. The sequential changes of the mucosa of the glandular stomach induced by this weak gastric carcinogen, PNNG, were very different from those induced by the potent gastric carcinogen, N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Gastric carcinoma induced by PNNG seems to be more similar to human gastric cancer than that induced by MNNG.

    Notes: Abstract Accumulation of inorganic mercury in subcellular fractions of the kidney, liver, and brain of rats was studied during 48 days after a single injection of 25 mg/kg of methylmercury chloride. The highest ratio of inorganic to total mercury was seen in the cytosol of kidney, 80% of the total being as inorganic mercury at day 48. The ratio in the mitochondria and microsomes of kidney attained a maximum level (about 50% of the total as inorganic) at day 26–37. In the liver, the ratio was strikingly low in the cytosol and microsomes as compared to the light and heavy mitochondria where about 40% of the total was present as inorganic maximally at day 26. The ratio in the brain, determined up to day 15, was very low as compared with the kidney and liver, showing less than 3% of the total in the mitochondria, microsomes, and cytosol, and 5.4% in the myelin fraction. The high accumulation of inorganic mercury in the cytosol of kidney was closely related to metallothionein-like component, while those in the mitochondria and microsomes of kidney and in the mitochondria of liver were exclusively bound to high molecular weight proteins even after deoxycholate treatment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Volumenverteilung von Rattenthrombozyten zeigt zwischen dem 5. und dem 8. Tag nach Geburt eine deutliche Zunahme im Modalvolumen. Bei rechnerischer Analyse der Kurven konnten keine deutlichen Anhaltspunkte für zwei diskrete Thrombozytenpopulationen gefunden werden. Da sich jedoch der Anstieg des Modalvolumens mit dem Beginn der Produktion einer neuen Erythrozytenpopulation deckt, und außerdem die Thrombozytenkonzentration im Blut in dieser Zeit deutlich ansteigt, können diese Veränderungen Ausdruck der Produktion einer zweiten Thrombozytenpopulation sein. Die mittlere elektrophoretische Beweglichkeit der Rattenthrombozyten fällt in den ersten drei Wochen nach Geburt nur geringfügig ab, während die der Erythrozyten im gleichen Zeitraum signifikant anstiegt.
    Notes: Summary The volume distribution curves of rat thrombocytes show a significant rise of the modal volume between days 5 and 8 after birth. No clear evidence for two distinct thrombocyte populations was obtained by computer analysis of the volume distribution curves. However, the increase of the modal volume of the platelets correlates with the production of a new erythrocyte population. In addition, the platelet concentration in the blood increases significantly during this time. These changes could indicate the production of a second thrombocyte population. The mean electrophoretic mobility of rat thrombocytes decreases only slightly during the first 3 weeks after birth, while it increases for erythrocytes significantly during the same period.

    Notes: Summary 1. The occurrence of sauvagine, a new polypeptide from amphibian skin, and its actions on rat blood pressure and diuresis were studied. 2. Sauvagine was found to be present in the skin of all the 10 Phyllomedusa species so far studied, amounts ranging from a few micrograms to 240 μg per g fresh skin. 3. The polypeptide displayed in the rat an intense, long-lasting hypotensive action accompanied by tachycardia. Hypotension was not modified by either atropine or propranolol, excluding the participation of the autonomic nervous system in its production. Tachycardia, on the contrary, was partially inhibited by propranolol. 4. Hypotension is probably the main cause of the intense antidiuresis seen in hydrated rats following sauvagine administration. Reduction in urina volume was accompanied by a decrease in GFR and an increase in tubular Na+ reabsorption.

    Notes: Abstract d-Glucose transport in the kidney of glucose loaded rats was investigated using clearance and micropuncture techniques. The range of plasma glucose concentration in clearance experiments was 20–140 mmol·l−1 and in micropuncture experiments 17–94 mmol·l−1. 1. During hyperglycemia, the glucose concentration in endproximal tubular fluid was elevated above that in arterial plasma. At plasma concentrations above 60 mmol l−1 intratubular glucose concentration was found to be about 1.2 times higher than in plasma. 2. At endproximal puncture sites TF/Posmol was unity throughout the investigated range of hyperglycemia. 3. Proximal tubular glucose reabsorption during hyperglycemia is close to saturation which is compatible to aK m=10.8 mmol l−1 as determined previously. 4. Passive glucose permeability does not change during hyperglycemia. The permeability constant of 2.03·10−5 cm·s−1 does not differ significantly from that during normoglycemia, 1.9·10−5 cm·s−1. 5. Single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and fluid reabsorption in the proximal convolution (C) were significantly correlated during hyperglycemia (r=0.78,P〈0.001). Fractional volume reabsorption during hyperglycemia was decreased to 0.36 as compared to control, but during hyperglycemia it was not affected by the magnitude of the glucose plasma concentration. 6. During hyperglycemia, proximal tubular glucose reabsorption (TG) was correlated to SNGFR (r=0.64,P〈0.001). This relation became insignificant when the influence of volume reabsorption (C) is controlled for (r=0.17,P〉0.5). However, the significance of the correlation between TG and C persists when the influence of SNGFR is held constant. 7. Calculations indicate that when glucose reabsorption was doubled, et sodium transport was increased about fourfold. 8. In hyperglycemia, renal transport rate (TG), when factored by renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) seems to be linearly related to glucose plasma concentration. Up to endproximal puncture site 25.5% and by the entire kidney 68.2% of the tubular glucose load were reabsorbed. The difference may be attributed either to glucose transport systems which are localized distal to the proximal convoluted tubules and/or to an inhomogenity of the glucose transport in the different types of nephrons.

    Changes in the glomerular filtration rate after unilateral nephrectomy in rats (1980)

    Notes: Abstract Changes in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were studied in rats, 4 h to 4 weeks after unilateral nephrectomy (NX). The GFR was determined with a technique using51Cr-EDTA and a single timed blood sample. The GFR determined in this way corresponded with the GFR calculated by two compartment analysis and with the plasma levels of creatinine and urea. Increases in the GFR, compared with half the GFR of sham operated rats, were observed as early as 4 h after NX. This increase was entirely due to an increase in the GFR per gram of kidney, since no increase in kidney weight was observed at that time. After the initial increase, the GFR remained at that level during the first 48 h after NX. At 48 h a significant increase in kidney weight per 100 g body weight had taken place. The longterm changes in the GFR amounted to an increase of about 80% of that of sham operated rats after 3–4 weeks. After 4 weeks, the increase in the GFR of the remaining kidney was due to an increase in kidney weight of 35% as well as an increase in the GFR per gram of kidney of 20%. These data indicate that the increase in the GFR of the remaining kidney after unilateral NX occurs rapidly and is independent of an increase in kidney weight. Compensatory hypertrophy develops at a later stage and helps to maintain the increased function of the single remaining kidney.

The procedure is based on the observation that, when the posterior half of the body is bent to the left, a right hepatic vein is aligned with the axis of anterior vena cava and posterior vena cava. A catheter, inserted in the right jugular vein and fitted with a rectilinear mandrel, is guided into the right auricle, the suprahepatic segment of posterior vena cava and a right hepatic vein. Successful catheterization of a right hepatic vein has been obtained in 47 out of 50 animals in which the procedure has been performed.

    Notes: Abstract Application of a renal artery clip in rats with an undisturbed contralateral kidney caused a sustained increase in blood pressure and a transient rise of plasma renin activity and water intake. The response of blood pressure, plasma renin activity and water intake was augmented after reapplication of the clip to normotensive declipped rats (renal hypertensive rats, from which the clip had been removed 24 h before the reapplication). The time-course of the changes of blood pressure, plasma renin activity and water intake were similar after the initial application as after reapplication of the clip. Administration of an inhibitor (SQ 14.225) of the converting enzyme abolished the increase in blood pressure and water intake after reapplication of the clip. These data indicate a critical role of renin in the rise of blood pressure and water intake after initial application of a renal artery clip as well as after reapplication of the clip to declipped rats.

    Notes: Abstract Using an in vivo sac technique, net transport of water, Na, Cl and K was studied in the colon ascendens of rats fed either a high carbohydrate (HC) or high protein (HP) diet, since water intake is elevated in HP-rats. The ligated colon sacs were filled with isotonic Krebs-Henseleit solution. Net Na and Cl absorption rates related to 1 g intestinal dry weight were 46% and 30% higher in HP-rats compared with HC-rats. Net water absorption in HP-rats exceeded that in HC-rats by 115%. Therefore the ratio between net water absorption and net absorption of solutes was higher in HP-rats than in HC-rats, and thus the hypertonicity of the absorbate was lower in the HP-rats. There was a net secretion of K in both groups of rats to about the same extent. Experiments with22Na indicate that the increased net Na absorption in HP-rats was due to an increased unidirectional Na transport from the lumen to the blood side of the colon. The group difference in the ratio between net absorption of water and solutes might be a manifestation of regulatory mechanism controlling intestinal water absorption.

    Notes: Abstract Experiments were performed in anesthetized rats to investigate the time course of the adaptive changes in tubuloglomerular feedback reactivity and juxtaglomerular renin activity induced by DOCA and NaCl loading (isotonic saline as drinking fluid plus daily injections of 25 mg/kg DOCA). In these DOCA escaped rats we studied further the effect of acute volume depletion and repletion on the magnitude of feedback responses. A significant reduction of feedback reactivity was found on the fifth day after starting the DOCA-salt treatment with maximum depression being established after two weeks. In contrast, significant reduction of juxtaglomerular renin content required 10 days and maximum depression three weeks of DOCA-salt administration. In DOCA-salt treated animals with severely curtailed feedback responses acute volume depletion was induced by a single injection of furosemide (10 mg/kg) leading to an excretion of 0.49 ±0.17 mEq sodium and a mean decrease of body weight of 2.17±0.22% over a period of 60–70 min. Mean feedback response (expressed as percent change of early proximal flow rate caused by elevating loop of Henle flow rate from zero to 40 nl/min) was −43.9 ±4.0%, significantly greater than in the pre-depletion phase and indistinguishable from responses seen in normal control rats. Repletion of extracellular volume by infusing HCO3-Ringer solution over 20 min induced a reduction in feedback responsivity to −12.0±2.9%. Plasma and juxtaglomerular renin concentration increased with volume depletion and decreased with volume repletion, but remained considerably lower than observed in normal control rats. Our results suggest that the tubuloglomerular feedback system responds to acute alterations in extracellular volume with rapid adaptations in its reactivity which is consistent with its role in the control of sodium excretion.

    Notes: Abstract Membrane adenylate cyclase from rat heart was activated by the two gut peptides secretin and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), glucagon, and the β-adrenergic drug isoproterenol, in the presence of guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP). With all the stimuli tested, the optimal magnesium concentration was 5 mM, i.e. in excess over the 0.5 mM ATP substrate concentration and 0.01 mM GTP used as cofactor. Under these conditions, half-maximal adenylate cyclase activation with glucagon, secretin, and VIP was achieved at concentrations of 0.5, 0.5 and 1.0 μM, respectively. Data obtained with the secretin (7–27) fragment, a secretin antagonist, indicate that secretin and VIP acted on the same binding sites, which differed from glucagon binding sites. Structural requirements for secretin activation of cardiac adenylate cyclase were evaluated by comparing the potency and efficacy of parent peptides and synthetic analogs. The gastric inhibitory peptide GIP was inactive. When using 13 mono-or bi-substituted analogs, it appeared that amino acids in positions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 were of major importance while those in position 5 and 11 played a relatively minor role.

    Notes: Abstract Oxygen supply of the brain cortex together with changes in the electrocorticogram (ECoG) were investigated during and after insulin induced hypoglycemia in 13 anaesthetized rats. Local oxygen partial pressures (pO2) on the parietal cortex were continuously measured with a multiwire surface electrode of the Clark type. During early hypoglycemia with a mean arterial glucose concentration [G]a of 2.81 (SD ±0.40) mmol/l, the local tissuepO2 did not change significantly as compared to thepO2 values recorded during the control period with a normal [G]a of 4.51 (SD±0.70) mmol/l. During severe hypoglycemia at a [G]a of 1.39 (SD±0.2) mmol/l,pO2 began to increase continuously on all 104 measuring sites, independently of changes in arterial blood pressure and ECoG. During a period of 7–18 min of isoelectricity, tissuepO2 remained elevated so long as blood pressure did not decrease. After injection of a 25% glucose solution,pO2 gradually decreased to control values within 30–60 min in most experiments. We conclude from these results that oxygen supply is generally improved during severe hypoglycemia. We assume that the increase in tissuepO2 is mainly caused by an increase in microflow. Thus, the neuronal damage occurring after severe hypoglycemia, as reported in literature, cannot primarily be caused by an oxygen deficiency.

    Notes: Abstract Acid-base status of arterial blood was measured in chronically cannulated, unanesthetized, unrestrained guinea pigs. Normal values were: pH=7.444±0.032,PaCO2=35.7±4.4; HCO 3 − =24.4±2.8; BE=+0.4±2.1 (n=69) andPaO2=91.9±7.3 (n=25) (Values are mean±S.D.). Induction of light anesthesia with thiopentone caused a respiratory depression (decrease inPaO2) accompanied by respiratory acidosis (increase inPaCO2 and decrease in pH) and a development of slight metabolic acidosis (decrease in base excess and standard bicarbonate). Acid base parameters of guinea pigs are compared to those obtained from rats under identical experimental conditions.

    Notes: Abstract 1) The responses of single units in the pretectum (Pt) and in the n. reticularis tegmenti pontis (NRTP) to constant velocity horizontal rotation (0.25–60 deg/s) of a large-field visual pattern were studied in immobilized, non-anesthetized DA-HAN rats. In addition, responses of Pt and NRTP neurons to pure vestibular stimuli (rotation in the dark) were studied. 2) Pt neurons showed seven response types to optokinetic stimulation (Table 1). The most frequent response (48%) consisted of a very rapid increase in firing to steady state on temporonasal motion stimulation of the contralateral eye; nasotemporal stimuli yielded no change in resting rate as did stimulation of the ipsilateral eye. The response maximum occurred at a retinal slip velocity of 1 deg/s. None of the Pt units tested responded to pure vestibular stimuli. 3) NRTP neurons — as Pt units — most frequently (43%) increased their discharge rate on temporonasal stimulation of the contralateral eye and maintained a constant resting rate during nasotemporal motion. Peak response amplitudes also occurred with retinal slip velocities of 1 deg/s. Contrary to the fast time-to-peak of the responses of Pt neurons NRTP units showed a slow rise in frequency of firing to peak response levels. 4) NRTP neurons responded to pure vestibular stimuli (horizontal angular acceleration in the dark). The vestibular responses were synergistic with those evoked in the same neurons by optokinetic stimuli. Thus, the most frequently encountered type of optokinetic response (s. above) showed a type II vestibular response. 5) Comparison of OKN and Vn optokinetic responses with those of Pt and NRTP suggests that the unidirectional-selective Pt and NRTP neurons are important links in the central optokinetic path. In addition, the NRTP may represent the site at which the retinal slip signal and the eye velocity signal converge. This convergence has been postulated in models of the system [12].

    Notes: Abstract 5,7-Dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) or the vehicle was administered once into both lateral ventricles of the rat. Desmethylimipramine (DMI) was administered IP prior to the intraventricular injection of 5,7-DHT to prevent the destruction of norepinephrine (NE) terminals. Following recovery from surgery, ethanol (5 g/kg, PO) or isocaloric sucrose was given daily for 25 days. Tests at 5-day intervals showed that chronic ethanol treatment produced tolerance to the motor impairment on the moving belt test and to hypothermic effects of ethanol. The 5,7-DHT treatment did not alter either the motor impairment or hypothermia produced by the initial dose of ethanol. However, 5,7-DHT treatment produced a 75% depletion of brain serotonin (5-HT) without altering NE concentration and retarded the development of tolerance to ethanol in both measurements. This study with a specific central depletor of 5-HT, without alteration in NE concentration, extends and supports our hypothesis that brain 5-HT modulates the development of tolerance to ethanol.

    Notes: Abstract Rats injected with LSD or mescaline show the behavioral syndrome which has been previously reported following injections of hallucinogens in higher mammals: limb flicks and whole body shakes. Although these behaviors are not elicited by acute injections of amphetamine, they are present in rats which have been pretreated for 108 h with a slow-release amphetamine pellet, given a 12h rest period, and then injected with d-amphetamine. Such pellet-pretreated animals also groom their body surface excessively. We propose that this novel syndrome which follows continuous amphetamine administration can serve as an animal model of the type of amphetamine psychosis that is produced by a similar drug regimen in humans.

    Notes: Abstract A novel means of measuring and analysing behavioural effects of dopamine agonists is described and illustrated by a comparison of the effects of d-amphetamine and apomorphine in the rat. d-Amphetamine (0–15 mg/kg IP) produced significant dose- and time-dependent changes in responses such as locomotion, rearing and sniffing, but not in licking or gnawing. In contrast, apomorphine (0–5 mg/kg SC) produced significant increases in licking and gnawing, as well as in locomotion and sniffing, but no changes in rearing. The results are discussed in comparison with those obtained by other methods, such as photocell beam interruptions or stereotypy rating scales, and may be of importance in elucidating the functions of the forebrain dopamine projections.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of naloxone on diazepam-induced release of behavior in aversive situations were investigated in rats. Naloxone (0.5 and 1 mg/kg-1) suppressed diazepam-induced eating in an unfamiliar situation and reduced (1 mg/kg-1) spontaneous food intake. Naloxone (1 mg/kg-1) canceled the increased lever pressing produced by diazepam in a conflict procedure in which one electric shock was delivered at each seventh press. Naloxone (1 mg/kg-1) failed to reverse the enhanced responding for food induced by diazepam in the presence of a signal previously paired with electric foot shocks. In this situation, naloxone alone reinforced the behavioral suppression. These results suggest that transmission mediated by opiate peptides may be involved in only some ‘disinhibitory’ effects of benzodiazepines. In addition, such a peptidergic transmission may play a role in the control of stress-induced behavioral suppression.

    Notes: Summary A modified technique for preservation and transplantation of rat kidneys, allowing precise control of the periods of warm and cold ischaemia, is presented. The donor kidney is placed in a continuously cooled micropuncture cup during the insertion. End-to-end anastomosis of arteries and veins is performed. The technique causes negligible circulatory changes on restoration of the blood flow. Eighty-nine consecutive transplantations are analysed. Complications from the vascular anastomoses occurred in 6% (5/89). In 53 survival experiments complications from the ureteric anastomoses occurred in 9% (5/53). The methodological scatter was small, with a distinct difference in the serum creatinine course and mortality of recipients obtaining kidneys subjected to cold is chaemia for different lengths of time.

    Notes: Abstract The growth of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) is severely inhibited by boron starvation, but a foliar treatment with boric acid can transitorily alleviate the deficiency symptoms. The 10B(n ,α)7 Li nuclear reaction has been used to study boron transport in the plant after foliar application. More than 98% of the boron supplied remained at the point where it was applied to the leaves, and less than 2% was useful to the growth of the treated plant. This small “efficient” portion of boron was quite mobile. It was distributed to the different parts of the plant, then was transferred from the oldest parts to the newly formed leaves. Physiological and agronomical implications of these data are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Employing a two bottle drinking procedure where an animal's preference is measured between plain water and a novel fluid, it was found that the convulsant drug Metrazol produced a conditioned taste aversion to saccharin. This finding is contrary to that of previous reports and highlights the sensitivity of the two bottle method in detecting a taste aversion.

    Notes: Summary A microsurgical technique for mesenterico-caval shunting in the rat is described. The method results in a portal blood drainage from the upper abdominal contents whereas the blood of the mesenteric vein is shunted to the inferior caval vein. Controls were undertaken after 1 and 3 weeks, either visually or radiologically. Twenty-two of 26 surviving animals showed patency of the shunt. All animals had undisturbed blood supply to the portal stump.

    Notes: A process is described in which the baboon endogenous virus (BaEV) is produced under optimum conditions in cell culture, and concentrated by hollow-fiber ultrafiltration technology under conditions of large-scale production. This system has advantages over conventional systems in that the flow rate is increased 2.5-fold during concentration. Thermal inactivation of BaEV was retarded by the addition of lactose glutamate to the harvested tissue culture fluid. After concentration, at least 91% of the virus RNA-directed DNA polymerase is recovered with a concomitant increase in infectious virus. Materials needed for modifying described systems may be obtained from commercial sources.

    Effect of pore diffusion limitation on dextrin hydrolysis by immobilized glucoamylase (1980)

    Notes: Data reported here and previously indicate that when dextrin is hydrolyzed in the presence of immobilized glucoamylase, use of a larger average molecular weight substrate leads to lower overall rates of hydrolysis, while the maltose concentration during the bulk of the reaction and the maximum glucose concentration are lower than when the soluble form of the enzyme is employed under the same conditions. Computer simulation of the system demonstrated that all three observations were caused by pore diffusion limitation: the first by slow diffusion of substrate, the second by slow diffusion of intermediates, and the third by slow diffusion of glucose. Follow-up experiments with glucoamylase immobilized to particles of different sizes confirmed this finding, as results with the smallest beads were identical to those with soluble glucoamylase.

    Notes: A simple model is developed for the energy transformation in growing microbial systems. The model is based on a linear equation for ATP consumption in the processes of growth and maintenance. A combination of this equation with macroscopic balances for the various components, the systems exchanges with the environment, and application of the concepts of the elementary balance allow the derivation of linear equations for the exchange of substrate, oxygen, and carbon dioxide with the environment. For growth on one sole carbon and energy source the model allows the definition of a critical substrate yield are expected and below which is decreasing substrate yield and energy supply growth limitation are expected. This restriction can be interpreted in a variety of other ways. It supplies a rationale for non-energy-production-coupled transfer of hydrogen to oxygen or wasteful expenditure of ATP in growth on highly reduced substrates. It also allows the formulation of a limit to the maximum yield on oxygen that can never be exceeded in growth on highly reduced substrates.

Some properties of the most suitable enzyme support system - calf spleen phosphodiesterase bound to agarose-Concanavalin A - were investigated, e.g., pH dependence, influence of ionic strength of the buffer medium, and Zn2+-ion inhibition. The immobilized spleen phosphodiesterase showed about 60% of the activity of the free enzyme: the activity toward several oligonucleotide test substrates was unchanged for two months.

The method involve fractionation by pH- and ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by biospecific affinity chromatography. The adsorbent used for the affinity chromatography was prepared by coupling galactose to Sepharose 6B activated with divinylsulfone. A comparison of different apparatus and techniques involved in the preparation is discussed. The yield and quality of the lectin prepared at a large scale were comparable with laboratory-scale preparation. From 50 kg Crotalaria juncea beans, 14.4 g Crotalaria lectin were obtained.

    Notes: This research examined culture parameters influencing the rate of degradation of lignin in lignocellulosic substrates by the Basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Thermomechanical pulps prepared from western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and red alder (Alnus rubra) were chosen as model substrates. Degradation of lignin in shallow, liquid-phase, stationary cultures was 10 times as rapid as in agitated cultures. Lignin degradation was at least 50% more rapid in cultures under 100% O2 than in those under air. Addition of 0.12% nutrient N (dry pulp basis) increased the rate of lignin degradation two- to fivefold; 1.2% added N at first suppressed, then stimulated, lignin degradation. Lignin in the alder pulp was degraded over five times as rapidly as in the hemlock pulp. Addition of glucose (35% of dry pulp) to the pulps containing 0.12% added N completely suppressed polysaccharide depletion during two weeks, but did not influence lignin degradation. The maximum rate of lignin degradation was 3%/day over a two-week incubation, or approximately 2.9 mg/mg fungal cell protein/day. The influence of the examined parameters was in complete accord with those found earlier for synthetic 14C-lignin metabolism by P. chrysosporium.

    Notes: Three feedback strategies for the on-line control of cell densities in a mixed-culture system have been examined. A competitive mixed-culture system of Candida utilis and Corynebacterium glutamicum grown on glucose as the limiting carbon source was modeled using Monod growth kinetics. First-order time constants were added to simulate transient growth effects. Multivariable feedback control of cell densities by manipulation of substrate feed and dilution rate was investigated. Feedback strategies directed to minimizing control interactions were found to be superior to classical feedback. Transients in the growth-rate response produced oscillations in cell density and required retuning of control constants. The relative time constants of the two species were important, with the largest oscillations resulting when the faster growing organism had the faster time constant.

    Notes: Studies were made of the death kinetics of Escherichia coli cells heated at 46 to 56°C in 0.05M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing either an amphoteric surfactant (Tego 15DL, 1-10 μg/ml) or sorbic acid (0.5 to 3%). A linear relationship was obtained on the Arrhenius plot for the death of cells heated with each antimicrobial agent. The kinetics of the action of the surfactant, however, differed from that of sorbic acid. With the amphoteric surfactant, the activation enthalpy of the death reaction decreased from 108 to 51 kcal/mol as the concentration of surfactant was increased in the range tested although the death rate remained high; whereas with sorbic acid the activation enthalpy remained fairly constant (104 ± 9 kcal/mol) independent of its concentration and the death rate was similarly high. Further, in the action of the amphoteric surfactant, a thermodynamic compensation effect was observed, the compensation temperature being 334°K (61°C), i.e., relatively close to the observed temperatures. For sorbic acid, however, this temperature seemed to be too high to observe when determined from the Arrhenius plot. The data of the dependency of the death-rate constant upon the concentration of antimicrobial agent indicated a similar difference in the action of the two agents. Based on our results and on data obtained by other workers, we propose that antimicrobial agents that enhance cellular death induced by heating can be characterized into two types.

    Notes: The steroid transformation of hydrocortisone to prednisolone, combining the two techniques of immobilized whole cells and high steroid concentrations, was investigated and found to be a feasible process. Freeze-dried Corynebacterium simplex cells were immobilized in collagen, tanned with glutaraldehyde, and cast into a membrane. The reaction was studied at hydrocortisone concentrations ranging from 5 to 50 mg/ml. The following aspects of the system were examined: (1) the substrate concentration effect upon the reaction; (2) the effect of enzyme concentration; (3) the rate-concentration relationship; and (4) the product inhibition characteristics of the system. The optimal substrate concentration was found to be 15 mg/ml of a membrane concentration of 80 mg/ml. This reaction attained an 80% conversion in 48 hr. A liner relation was found between the initial reaction rate and membrane concentration. One can thus increase the net production of steroid per unit volume and time by increasing the membrane levels. A physical limit to this increase occurred at membrane concentrations greater than 125 mg/ml. The rate-concentration relationship was linear when graphed on a Line weaver-Burk plot: giving a Km′ and Vm′ value of 5.39 mg/ml and 0.556 mg/ml/hr, respectively. When the data were tested for competitive product inhibition, the curves fitted the experimental points fairly well and produced Km′ and Vm′ values of 4.52 mg/ml and 0.566 mg/ml/hr, respectively. Product inhibition experiments showed that the inhibition was not purely competitive. At low substrate concentrations, product inhibited the enzyme; at high substrate concentrations, the enzyme was first stimulated and then depressed by increasing levels of products. This behavior has been analyzed and shown to be possibly a result of the information of a tertiary intermediate produced during the reaction.

    Notes: Many changes that occur in a cell during the cell cycle can be demonstrated in synchronous cultures and can reveal dimensions of cell metabolism not attainable by the study of balanced growth of asynchronous populations in batch cultures or the steady state in chemostat cultures. The release of 14CO2 from specifically labeled glucose by phased (continuously synchronized) cultures follows a characteristic pattern (profile) that depends upon the stage in the cell cycle and the period of labeling used. Successive profiles throughout a cycle showed differences that were altered under different nutrient-limiting growth conditions. Profiles obtained with glucose-1-14C, glucose-2-14C, glucose-3,4-14C, and glucose-6-14C and phased cells of Candida utilis under N-, P-, and C-limited growth demonstrated the variable character of the metabolic activity that occurred in the cells while contour changes within the profiles across the cycle indicated possible correlations with activities of the hexose monophosphate, Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas, and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways during the cell cycle. The basis of these changes and their use as elementary parameters for study of problems of physiological changes in vivo are considered.

    Notes: A comparative study was conducted into the immobilization of β-galactosidase, albumin, and γ-globulin on an epoxy-activated polyacrylic matrix (oxirane C, Röhm-Pharma GmbH, Darmstadt). The kinetic parameters of the immobilized β-galactosidase were investigated with three kinds of miniaturized analytical reactors: namely, stirred batch, continuous stirred-tank, and packed-bed reactors. The optimum binding conditions, saturation activity and Michaelis constant of immobilized β-galactosidase are given, together with determinations of the binding capacity of the oxirane C matrix for the three proteins investigated. For beta;-galactosidase a saturation activity of 1300 U/g oxirane C was reached. The maximum binding, achieved by experiment, was 140 mg/g with 0.69 yield for albumin, 120 mg/g with 0.61 yield for γ-globulin, and 40 mg/g with 0.42 yield for β-galactosidase. From these data the inner surface of the matrix as a function of the size of the bound proteins was estimated.

    Notes: The susceptibility of cellulose to enzymatic hydrolysis is affected by the structural features of cellulosic materials. It has been suggested that the crystallinity and surface area of cellulose fibers are the most important structural features in this regard. This study investigated in depth the relative effects of these two structural features upon the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose and the change of the structural parameters of cellulose during the course of hydrolysis. It was found that the hydrolysis rate is mainly dependent upon the fine structural order of cellulose which can best be represented by the crystallinity rather than the simple surface area. Monitoring the changes in the structural parameters during the course of reaction showed that surface area is not a major limiting factor that slows hydrolysis in its late stages as has been suggested. This information concerning structural features is used to elucidate the mode of action of cellulase.

    Notes: A new method was developed for estimating the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, kLa, in a fermentor. Various methods were investigated for the on-line estimation of kLa with an analog computer employing a steepest-descent calculation technique. The method by which kLa is estimated (by minimizing the error residue of the model) was found to be very applicable. A method for the simultaneous estimation of the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient and respiration rate in biological systems is also presented.

    Notes: Two types of polyethylenimine-coated glass microbeads (13-44 μm) were synthesized and used for the immobilization of glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger and catalase from A. niger and beef liver. The two types of beads were distinguishable by differences in their surface topography. Immobilizations were performed by adsorption followed by treatment with glutaraldehyde. The immobilized-enzyme activities per unit support of all of the enzymes tested were compared with and found to be superior to the immobilized activities attainable on aminopropyl-activated glass microbeads. When enzyme was present in less than saturating amounts, the coated beads were able to remove 100% of the glucose oxidase activity initially present in the immobilization solution, with 78-87% of that activity expressed on the support surface. Bound glucose oxidase was more stable to thermal inactivation than native enzyme.

    Notes: A growth model for Claviceps purpurea in submerged batch culture is presented. In developing the model, the basic principles of the growth and the morphological properties of C. purpurea are considered. The growth of C. purpurea is assumed to occur in a three-step manner; the first step involves the assimilation and the growth of cells; the second one involves cell division, and the third one involves transformation of the mature cells to a state where they have no ability to divide but do have the ability to produce ergot alkaloids and then they gradually die. Inorganic phosphate is assumed to be the limiting substrate for the first and the second steps in conditions of carbon source being in excess. The model constants are determined by model simulation and graphical searching techniques to find the minimum value of the absolute difference between the experimental and the simulated curves for biomass, alkaloids, and sucrose.

    Notes: Using continuous and fed-batch penicillin fermentation systems some important metabolic parameters have been determined for the purpose of achieving process improvement and better process control. The specific uptake rates determined under the optimal conditions are: 0.33 mmol hexose/g cell/hr, 1.6 mmol oxygen/g cell/hr, 2mg NH3-nitrogen/g cell/hr, 0.6 mg PO4-phosphorus/g cell/hr, 2.8 mg SO4-sulfur/g cell/hr, 1.8 mg phenyl acetic acid/g cell/hr. It was also found that during the production phase, or idiophase, the specific growth rate should be maintained at about 0.015 hr-1 in order to support the maximum penicillin productivity of the given strain. Based on the results of this study a significant process improvement has been achieved through proper control of the supply and demand of the important nutrients and oxygen.

    Notes: An enzyme electrode is described for quantitative determination of phenol at micromolar concentrations. Immobilized phenol hydroxylase is attached to the surface of a Clark oxygen electrode. The Maximum rate of oxygen consumption is linearly dependent on phenol concentration over the 0.5-50μM range. The electrode can be used for at least 150 assays without an activity loss. Readout is very rapid - within 30 sec of sample addition. The electrode response is independent of pH between pH 6.5 and 9.5. The response increases linearly with temperature in the interval 10-40°C. It is necessary to incubate the enzyme electrode in a buffer containing NADPH for a few minutes before the addition of sample. This is to make the electrode response independent of the diffusion rate of this cosubstrate. This and other diffusional effects on the performance of the phenol electrode are discussed.

    Notes: β-Galactosidase and other enzymes were immobilized on p-amino-carbanilated derivatives of cellulose and methylol cellulose using the diazo method and through glutaraldehyde. The optimum conditions for coupling cellulose tri-(p-amino-carbanilate) (CTAC) to β-galactosidase were established. The diazo coupling method with CTAC gave greater activity than with glutaraldehyde when coupled to β-galactosidase (Escherichia coli). The stability of the CTAC-β-galactosidase system was examined. The disubstituted p-amino-carbanilate derivative (CDAC) gave a lower activity, whereas the methylol analog (MCTAC) gave slightly greater activity. The CTAC was also used to immobilize glucose oxidase, trypsin, pepsin, and papain.

    Notes: Bacteria grown on methanol exhibit a poor efficiency of energy conservation, which is mainly due to the low P/O ratio of 1 associated with methanol oxidation. Thermodynamic considerations indicate that a P/O ratio of at least 2 is possible for this step in substrate oxidation. This low efficiency of energy conservation is reflected in the yield values on methanol, which are very important in the consideration of biomass production from methanol. Unfortunately in continuous culture there is no obvious way to select for organisms with a greater efficiency of energy conservation.

    Notes: Enzyme stability studies have been reinvestigated under the conditions used for cellulose hydrolysis (pH 4.8, 50°C, 24 hr). The cellobiohydrolase (CBH) component as measured on Avicel is less stable than other enzymes of the cellulase complex, and is 60% inactivated by merthiolate (and other Hg compounds) under the above conditions. Endo-β-1,4-glucanase is much more stable, and more resistant to merthiolate and other compounds. Under unshaken conditions the Avicelase of the Rutgers strain C 30 shows greater stability to heat than that of other available strains. Biocides must be selected not only for their ability to prevent contamination, but also for their compatibility with cellulases. Tetracycline and chlortetracycline are inexpensive, effective in very low concentrations, have no harmful effect on the enzymes, and are compatible with the yeasts that subsequently grow on the sugar solutions to produce alcohol. Attempts have been made to stabilize the enzymes by chemical modification in such a way as to maintain their solubility. Glutaraldehyde treatment greatly increased the enzyme size, lowered the pI values, and gave a slight shift in the pH activity curve. There was, unfortunately, no increase in enzyme stability, and the activity of enzymes on solid celluloses was adversely affected. Shaking greatly reduced the hydrolysis of Avicel by Trichoderma reesei C 30 enzyme. The adverse effect was accompanied by a decrease in recoverable enzyme and protein.

    Notes: Chemostat cultures of carrot suspension cultures, where growth was limited by the concentration of phosphate in the input medium, were achieved by replacing a fixed proportion of the culture with fresh medium at daily intervals. In the range 0.05-0.30mM phosphate in the input medium and at a specific growth rate of 0.357 days-1, steady-state culture density but not anthocyanin in the cells was strictly proportional to the input phosphate concentration with no intercept. At a phosphate concentration of 0.10mM and growth rates from 0.105 to 0.430 days-1, the steady-state culture density could not be described by Monod's model of chemostat cultures, but could be described by Nyholm's model. The steady-state levels of anthocyanin were not strictly proportional to the steady-state biomass under all conditions, showing that anthocyanin production is not completely growth associated.

    Notes: White-rot fungi, which have the ability to degrade all the wood components including lignin, are of great interest in biotechnological processes based on wood and other lignocellulosic materials. It was demonstrated earlier that enough lignin can be degraded to cause a decrease in the energy demand for production of thermomechanical pulp if wood chips are pretreated by cellulaseless mutants of white-rot fungi. This paper concerns the growth conditions in wood for three white-rot fungi and their cellulaseless mutants in order to determine optimal conditions for such pretreatment processes. The pH and temperature optima have been determined as well as the growth rate in wood. The results show that the growth rate in wood. at least for Cel 44 (a cellulaseless mutant of Sporotrichum pulverulentum), is not the rate-limiting step in delignification. From different mixtures of urea and NH4H2PO4 the optimal nitrogen source was determined for the mutants. The optimal C/N ratio was found to vary between 160/1 and 400/1. It is suggested that the lower the C/N ratio, the faster the growth. It was also demonstrated that both water- and acetone-extractable substances in wood supported the growth of cellulaseless mutants. When some glucose was added to the wood, the weight loss caused by Cel 44 increased. All these observations support earlier findings that lignin in wood cannot be degraded by white-rot fungi unless a more easily metabolizable carbon source is used simultaneously.

    Notes: The hydrophobic interaction of β-galactosidase with Sepharose 4B substituted with 3,3′-diaminodipropylamine was studied in both batch and column experiments. The equilibrium and the binding rate constants were determined for different phosphate buffer concentrations. The equilibrium constants exhibit a hysteresis effect, i.e., desorption constants are less than adsorption constants, and the higher the ionic strength to start the desorption, the larger the effect. The rate data are not satisfactorily described by a simple reversible first-order model. The column chromatographic data are semiquantitatively described by a local equilibrium theory without axial dispersion or intraparticle diffusion.

    Notes: Aspergillus awamori NRRL 4869 was cultured on the solid substrate, wheat bran, in a modified Rollacell apparatus to produce α-galactosidase and invertase. The swivel cap on the elongated bottle permits the introduction of air while the bottle rotates. Parameters of air flow rate (0.05-0.2 liter/kg/min), rpm (0.15-15 rpm), and weight of solids (150 and 300 g) were varied. At low air flow rates (0.05 liter/kg solid/min), α-galactosidase production was minimal independent of the rotation rate. At 0.15 rpm and 0.2 liter/kg solids/min air flow rate, invertase production ceased after five days; whereas α-galactosidase production continued. The modified Rollacell can be a useful apparatus for studying solid-substrate cultures.

    Notes: The growth kinetics of Bacillus subtilis KYA 741, an adenine-requiring strain, was investigated under adenine-limiting conditions. The concentration of adenine (the limiting substrate for cell growth) in the culture filtrate remained constant during the stationary phase. In this phase, DNA turnover was active and the DNA content per cell was constant throughout the cultivation period. When cells were transferred to medium without adenine, the cell concentration began to decrease immediately and then reached a constant level due to the supply of adenine from lysing to growing cells. The rates of degradation of cells and DNA were both found to be 0.2 hr-1. An equation for cell growth in this pseudostationary phase was obtained by combining Contois' equation, in which the apparent saturation constant was a function of the cell concentration, with a term for cell degradation. This equation satisfactorily expressed the feature of cell growth and adenine consumption by B. subtilis KYA 741 under adenine-limiting conditions.

    Notes: Candida lipolytica was cultured batchwise using n-hexadecane as the main carbon source. Biomass production, n-hexadecane consumption, oxygen consumption, and carbon dioxide evolution were measured to follow the fermentation. The consistency of the measured data was examined using integrated and instantaneous available electron and carbon balances. Values of the “true” growth yield, ηmax, and maintenance coefficient, me were estimated using three different sets of data (biomass and n-hexadecane, oxygen and biomass, and CO2 and biomass), and the results were compared with estimates obtained from literature data. Hysteresis patterns were observed in plots of specific rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide evolution versus specific growth rate.

    Notes: The gyrogen with tubes has been the object of repeated trials carried out over a period of some years. The aim of these trials was essentially to multiply BHK cells in monolayer and to reproduce the FMD virus in one operation. At the laboratory stage, the gyrogen represented three roller flasks; at the pilot stage, 100 roller flasks; and at the industrial stage, 500 flasks. Culturing cells on a glass support, is not in itself new, but the difficulty appeared when replicating the virus in order to obtain the high parameters necessary for vaccine production. Everything was accomplished so that finally the cell culture and viral multiplication could be carried out in situ in the same apparatus.

    Notes: The partition of n-hexadecane in the spent growth medium of Acinetobacter sp. HOI-N was determined by measuring the increase in the relative aqueous solubility of 3H-hexadecane as compared to controls. The amount of hexadecane partitioned was proportional to the protein concentration. The specific solubility of hexadecane (nmol/mg protein) was analyzed by least-squares fitting yielding an average slope of 0.6 with a standard deviation of 0.3, indicating either nonequilibrium of hexadecane or physical aggregation of protein. The amount of hexadecane partitioned was concentration dependent yielding optically clear microemulsions at hexadecane concentrations of less than 1.4mM and macroemulsions at hexadecane concentrations of 1.4mM or greater. Preliminary results indicated that hexadecane and partitioned by a lipoprotein complex.

    Temperature and pH dependence of mold α-galactosidase (1980)

    Notes: The effect of temperature and pH on kinetic behavior of α-galactosidase of Mortierella vinacea was investigated on the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside (PNPG). A very unusual kinetic behavior was observed for the soluble α-galactosidase i.e., substrate inhibition diminished gradually with increasing temperature or near the neutral pH range, and the kinetics approached the ordinary Michaelis-Menten (MM) type. On the other hand, with decreasing temperature or in acidic pH range, substrate inhibition was accelerated. Therefore, Arrhenius plots based on the initial reaction rate did not give straight lines. Furthermore, the slope in the Arrhenius plot changed with substrate concentration, which would make the determination of a characteristic value using conventional methods meaningless. However, the Arrhenius plots of individual kinetic parameters in the rate equation resulted in straight lines in the temperature range 15 to 50°C. From this, the drastic change in kinetic behavior could be explained in connection with the temperature and pH dependence of kinetic parameters in the model. For mold pellets (whole-cell enzyme), however, the influence of temperature and pH was less apparent than that of soluble enzyme because of the limitation in intraparticle diffusion. By using the rate equation that was determined for soluble enzyme and the theoretically derived effectiveness factor, the overall reaction rate for mold pellets at various temperature and pH could be predicted to some extent.

    Extraction of hemicellulose from ryegrass straw for the production of glucose isomerase and use of the resulting straw residue for animal feedTechnical Paper No. 5143 of the Agricultural Experimental Station, Oregon State University. (1980)

    Notes: The hemicellulose fraction of ryegrass straw was extracted with NaOH and used for the production of glucose isomerase by Streptomyces flavogriseus. The level of hemicellulose extracted increased proportionately with increasing NaOH concentration up to about 4%, then the rate of increase slowed down. Hemicellulose extraction was facilitated by the combined application of heat and NaOH. Approximately 15% hemicellulose (12% as pentosan) could be obtained by treating straw with 4% NaOH for either 3 hr at 90°C or 24 hr at room temperature. The highest level (3.04 units/ml culture) of intracellular glucose isomerase was obtained when the organism was grown at 30°C for two days on 2% straw hemicellulose. The organism also produced a high yield of glucose isomerase on xylose or xylan. The NaOH-treated straw residue, after removal of hemicellulose, had approximately 75% higher digestibility and 20% higher feed efficiency for weanling meadow voles than untreated straw. Thus, the residue could be used as animal feed. A process for the production of glucose isomerase and animal feed from ryegrass straw was also proposed.

    Notes: In this investigation, the activation energies of the hydrolysis of N-(α)-benzol-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) and casein have been determined using trypsin immobilized on molecular sieve type 4A. There is a complete absence of intraparticle diffusion in the system, and the temperature dependence of the reaction has been studied only under external diffusional limitation. While the hydrolysis of BAEE by bound trypsin in found to be controlled by external diffusion, that of casein is kinetically controlled.

    Hydrolysis of raffinose in a hollow-fiber reactor using an unrefined mixture of α-galactosidase and invertase (1980)

    Notes: Raffinose was converted enzymatically in a hollow-fiber reactor to melibiose, sucrose, galactose, glucose and fructose. The enzymes were a crude extract of α-galactosidase and invertase produced by Aspergillus awamori NRRL 4869 on a solid substrate, Wheat bran. With a concentration of raffinose, C0, entering the reactor at a flow rate Q, and with C being the concentration of raffinose exiting the reactor, the conversion (C/C0), was studied as a function of Q at two level of C0. The data could be fairly well fitted using the analysis of Waterland et al. even though a mixed crude enzyme system was being investigated. It was found empirically that In (C/C0) was linear in Q-1, with the absolute value of the slope decreasing with increasing C0. The linearity of such plots were predicted by Lewis and Middleman from Waterland et al. for a single enzyme system obeying first-order kinetics, the slope being independent of C0. Although the assumptions involved in this approximate analytical solution are not valid, the observed linearity of the In (C/C0) vs. Q-1 plots is excellent and should prove useful in reactor design considerations.

    Notes: The progesterone 11α-hydroxylase of Rhizopus nigricans ATCC 6227b is an inducible enzyme system that is primarily induced by its substrate progesterone. Maximum induction was found at a progesterone concentration of 0.5 g/liter or above. Oxygen is the other substrate for the hydroxylation and this was found to have a major effect on the amounts of hydroxylase synthesized. Optimum induction of the hydroxylase in a fermentation with a 3.1 m/sec impeller tip speed was found to occur at a dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) of 10% of air saturation. The agitation rate also effects the amount of hydroxylase synthesized with an apparent maximum at 3.1 m/sec impeller tip speed. The DOT for a maximum hydroxylation rate was much higher than for enzyme synthesis so that it was preferable to increase the DOT after induction was completed.

    Notes: In a system where yeast cells grow on n-alkanes dissolved in oil drops suspended in water, the dispersed oil phase will, in most cases, be fully segregated. This means that each drop has its own history that depends on its degree of saturation with yeast cells. This degree of saturation with yeast cells is determined by a stochastic process depending on adsorption, desorption, and cell production. Although many authors mention segregation as a phenomenon likely to occur, so far this segregation has hardly been taken into account. In this paper the interaction of the population of completely segregated oil drops with the population of yeast cells, which results in growth, is described. The consequences of the model are elucidated by the discussion of some extreme cases. The batch fermentation of hydrocarbons by yeast cell is simulated by means of a Monte Carlo procedure. Adsorption, desorption, and production of yeast cells are considered as chance processes. The history of all individual drops is recorder. The influence of the chance of desorption appears to be much larger than that of the chance of adsorption (at the investigated range). Also the size of the inoculum at the start of the process appears to have a strong influence on the course of fermentation.
