    Notes: Although Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium tuberculosis are very closely related they differ significantly in their growth rates. The Type strain of M. marinum and one clinical isolate were investigated and, like M. tuberculosis, were found to have a single rRNA (rrn) operon per genome located downstream from murA gene and controlled by two promoters. No sequence differences were found that account for the difference in the growth rates of the two species. We infer that M. tuberculosis has the capacity to synthesize rRNA much faster than it actually does; and propose that the high number of insertion sequences in this species attenuate growth rate to lower values.

    Notes: The type strain of Mycobacterium simiae and four Cuban strains, each representing a group of variants sharing a characteristic pattern of glycopeptidolipids, were investigated. Each of the five strains was found to have a single rRNA (rrn) operon per genome. Each rrn operon was found to be located downstream from murA. Unusually for slow-growing mycobacteria, three transcription start points were identified for each operon. Gene sequences were established extending from near to the 3′-ends of murA, the intergenic regions and the 5′-ends of the 16S rDNAs. Characteristic strain differences were identified.

    Notes: Abstract DNA was isolated from mycobacteria by a simplified procedure. Cells were suspended in 6 M guanidinium chloride, the suspension was cooled to −70 °C, then incubated at 65 °C for 10 min, cooled in ice, deproteinized by chloroform and DNA was recovered from the supernatant. The procedure was used to obtain DNA from several mycobacteria (1 × 109) or more cells) including Mycobacterium neoaurum M. fortuitum M. phlei and M. smegmatis. Each of the species was shown to have two ribosomal RNA operons per genome, and preliminary evidence was obtained which suggests that one of these operons is homologous with one of the operons of M. smegmatis.

    Notes: Abstract The nucleotide sequence at the 3′-end of 16Sr-RNA (nucleotides 1305–1508) was determined, by the primer extension method, for Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium vaccae, in addition to Mycobacterium leprae. No differences in nucleotide sequence were detected, indicating that this region of 16SrRNA is highly conserved among mycobacteria. The nucleotide sequence common to the four above-mentioned mycobacteria differs from that reported for species of other genera. For example, for helix 39 (nucleotides 1408–1491) the mycobacterial sequence has 58% similarity with the Escherichia coli sequence, 74% similarity with the Bacillus subtilis sequence and 93% similarity with the Streptomyces sequence. The observations support the assignment of M. leprae to the genus Mycobacterium.

    Notes: [Auszug] Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes regulate transcription through mechanisms that suppress termination signals. An antitermination mechanism was first characterized in bacteriophage λ. Bacteria have analogous machinery that regulates ribosomal RNA transcription and employs host factors, called ...

    Notes: Abstract The cellular repair process of injured tracheal epithelium is described for sheep after exposure to toxic smoke containing high concentrations of acrolein. Fourteen fasted 3–4-year-old ewes had a portion of their cervical trachea exposed to cotton smoke for 20 min and then were sacrificed at various time intervals ranging from 1 to 22 days after exposure. Within 1 day of injury, columnar epithelium sloughed intact from the trachea with a concomitant reduction of nearly 35% in the basal cell population. At 2 days of recovery, the cellularity of the epithelium had increased and mitotic figures were observed in some tracheal epithelial and gland cells. By 8 days, undifferentiated hyperplastic cells increased to 30/100 µm, differentiated nonciliated columnar cells first appeared, and the basal cell population returned to a normal count of 13 cells/100µm. Thirteen days after exposure, the undifferentiated hyperplastic cell population had declined to 7 cells/100/ µm, nonciliated columnar cells were at control values, and some ciliated cells were identified. At 18 and 22 days, epithelium was normal in appearance and the count was 13 cells/100µm. Data suggest that because the columnar epithelium sloughs intact with the cilia remaining active, toxic smoke may affect their attachment to the basal lamina. Furthermore, the regeneration process involves differentiation of hyperplastic cells in which they elongate down to the basal lamina, thus re-establishing the integrity of tall, epithelium in the sheep trachea.

    Notes: Summary Physarum polycephalum (strain M3CVIII) contains four unlinked actin gene loci, each with two alleles (ard A1, ard A2, ard B1, ard B2, ard C1, ard C2, ard D1 and ard D2). The 4.8 kbp HindIII component of the ard C2 locus was isolated as a recombinant phage-λ, after HindIII fragments of Physarum DNA ranging from 4.3 kbp to 5.5 kbp were cloned into phage-λ NM1149. The fraction of Physarum DNA cloned contained the ard C locus, and no other actin locus. Small inserts were favoured to reduce the probability of cloning a complete repetitive element, because such elements have been found to adversely affect the stability of recombinants. The coding sequences of the actin gene (approximately 1.1 kbp) spanned more than 3 kbp indicating the presence of introns. A 1.6 kbp HindIII/EcoRI fragment of the ard C locus, which contained some coding sequences, hybridized extensively with HindIII fragments of genomic DNA indicating the presence of repetitive sequences. A 2.3 kbp HindIII/EcoRI fragment containing most of the coding sequences of the C2 allele of the ard C locus hybridized with the C1, allele and both alleles of the ard B locus, but not with the ard A locus or ard D locus. This distinction was used to establish for the ard B and ard C loci the relationship between the EcoRI and HindIII fragments that define an ard locus. The ability to distinguish between ard loci may facilitate studies of the expression of particular actin loci.

    Notes: Summary 1. Total Neurospora crassa DNA was restricted with endonucleases and fragments carrying rRNA coding sequences were identified by hybridization with Xenopus laevis ribosomal DNA probes. 2. The repeating unit of the rRNA gene cluster was found to be 8.6 kbp, arranged in a head-to-tail fashion. 3. Digestion with Hind III yielded fragments of 3.4 kbp and 5.2 kbp and both were cloned. 4. Digestion with Eco RI yieled fragments of 2.2 kbp, 3.0 kbp and 3.4 kbp; the 3.0 kbp fragment was cloned. 5. Sequences coding for RNA (S-rRNA)1 of the smaller subribosomal particle were found (at least 90%) in the 2.2 kbp EcoRI subfragment of the 5.2 kbp Hind III fragment. 6. The coding sequences for the major RNA species (L-rRNA) of the larger subribosomal particle were located mainly (at least 95%) in the 3.4kbp Hind III fragment. 7. For comparison, a Hind III digest of total yeast DNA was cloned and recombinants containing a 6.4 kbp rDNA fragment were isolated.

    Notes: Abstract The concentrations of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate in the brains of audiogenic and normal mice were measured fluorimetrically. The brain of the audiogenic mouse (DBA/2J) contains 25% more pyridoxal-5′-phosphate than the brain of a control mouse. Intraperitoneal injection of this substance causes a transient increase of its concentration in the brain, lasting a few hours. The substance thereafter is degraded to pyridoxal and pyridoxic acid.
