    Notes: Summary A large-aperture, long-pulse XeCl excimer laser has been used to generate a soft-X-ray plasma source. Several laser optical configurations have been employed to optimise X-ray emission, including positive-branch unstable resonators and injection by seeding the gain region of the laser with a small commercial excimer laser, resulting in power densities in the range 1012–1014 W cm−2. The characteristics of the plasma source for each different laser configuration and for different target materials are investigated. The most suitable source conditions (spectral energy distribution, time duration, etc.) for specific applications are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Phototrophic microbial communities present in the Roman Catacombs were characterized and different species of terrestrial epilithic cyanobacteria were found to occur as dominant organisms. Eucapsis, Leptolyngbya, Scytonema, and Fischerella were the most frequently encountered cyanobacterial taxa, while a few species of green algae and the diatom Diadesmis gallica occurred in minor amounts. Streptomyces strains, a few genera of eubacteria, and to a lesser extent fungi were always present in the same microhabitats and contributed to the deterioration of stone surfaces. The combined use of light and electron microscopy evidenced the structural relationships among rod-shaped or filamentous bacteria and cyanobacterial cells, as well as the presence of polysaccharide capsules and sheaths, and of mineral precipitates on S. julianum filaments. The significance of the intimate association among the microorganisms was discussed in relation to the damage caused by the growth of biological patinas on stone surfaces.

    Notes: Abstract Cyanobacterial biofilms present on stone surfaces inRoman hypogea were studied with the aim of assessingtheir deteriogenic activity on the colonisedsubstrata. In order to achieve this, non-destructivemethods were developed and applied to measure pHvariation induced via photosynthesis and respirationin representative cyanobacteria from Roman catacombs.Amperometric and potentiometric microsensors were alsoused on Scytonema biofilms in culture in orderto measure photosynthesis and assess pH decreases andincreases during dark–light periods. Measurementsof pH showed that, starting with values slightly belowneutral, the pH in Scytonema biofilms increasedby 0.24–0.77 units in the transition from dark to1000 μmol photon m-2 s-1 irradiance.Comparison of photosynthesis and pH curves recordedsimultaneously on the same artificial biofilm showeda maximum increase in pH value at irradiances higherthan those saturating photosynthesis. Alkalinisationof the substrate during illumination occurred to asufficient extent to induce precipitation of mineralcompounds, especially on calcareous substrates such asthose present in Roman hypogea.

    Notes: Abstract The ecophysiological, cytomorphological, biochemical and molecular data presently available for the acidophilic red algal species Cyanidium caldarium, Cyanidioschyzon merolae and Galdieria sulphuraria are summarised. The taxonomic position of the three genera is discussed and emendements to the generic diagnosis are presented.

    Description: Although N2-fixing cyanobacteria contribute significantly to oceanic sequestration of atmospheric CO2, little is known about how N2 fixation and carbon fixation (primary production) interact in natural populations of marine cyanobacteria. In a developing cyanobacterial bloom in the Baltic Sea, rates of N2 fixation (acetylene reduction) showed both diurnal and longer-term fluctuations. The latter reflected fluctuations in the nitrogen status of the cyanobacterial population and could be correlated with variations in the ratio of acetylene reduced to 15N2 assimilated. The value of this ratio may provide useful information about the release of newly fixed nitrogen by a cyanobacterial population. However, although the diurnal fluctuations in N2 fixation broadly paralleled diurnal fluctuations in carbon fixation, the longer-term fluctuations in these two processes were out of phase.
