    Description / Table of Contents: Describing the development of dark matter theory, this book shows why it is now a central feature of extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. This fascinating overview will interest cosmologists, astronomers and particle physicists. Mathematics is kept to a minimum, so the book can be understood by non-specialists.

    Notes: Abstract The mixotrophic (bacterivorous), freshwater chrysophyte Dinobryon cylindricum was cultured under a variety of light regimes and in bacterized and axenic cultures to investigate the role of phototrophy and phagotrophy for the growth of this alga. D. cylindricum was found to be an obligate phototroph. The alga was unable to survive in continuous darkness even when cultures were supplemented with high concentrations of bacteria, and bacterivory ceased in cultures placed in the dark for a period longer than one day. Axenic growth of the alga was poor even in an optimal light regime. Live bacteria were required for sustained, vigorous growth of the alga in the light. Carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) budgets determined for the alga during growth in bacterized cultures indicated that bacterial biomass ingested by the alga may have contributed up to 25% of the organic carbon budget of the alga. Photosynthesis was the source of most (⩾75%) of the organic carbon of the alga. D. cylindricum populations survived but did not grow when cultured in a continuous low light intensity (30 μE m−2 sec−1), or in a light intensity of 150 μE m−2 sec−1 for only two hours each day. Net efficiency of incorporation of bacterial C, N, and P into algal biomass under these two conditions was zero (i.e., no net algal population growth). We conclude that the primary function of bacterivorous behavior in D. cylindricum may be to provide essential growth factor(s) or major nutrients for photosynthetic growth, or to allow for the survival of individuals during periods of very low light intensity or short photoperiod.

    Notes: Abstract The time scales involved in the transition between phototrophic and phagotrophic modes of nutrition were examined in the mixotrophic chrysophytePoterioochromonas malhamensis. Phagotrophy began almost immediately when bacteria were added to phototrophically growing cultures of the alga, and chlorophylla concentration per cell in these cultures decreased over a 24-hour period. Chlorophyll concentrations per cell began to increase when bacteria were grazed to a density of approximately 106 ml−1, but after more than 24 hours they had not returned to the higher chlorophyll concentrations observed in the phototrophically grown cultures. Bacterivory was the dominant mode of nutrition in all cultures containing heat-killed bacteria. Photosynthesis did not contribute more than ≈7% of the total carbon budget of the alga when in the presence of abundant heat-killed bacteria. Bacterial density was the primary factor influencing the ability ofP. malhamensis to feed phagotrophically, while light intensity, pH, and the presence of dissolved organic matter had no effect on phagotrophy. We conclude thatP. malhamensis is capable of phagotrophy at all times. In contrast, phototrophy is inducible in the light during starvation and is a long-term survival strategy for this mixotrophic alga (i.e., it operates on time scales greater than a diel cycle).

    Notes: Abstract Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is an empirically motivated modification of Newtonian gravity or inertia suggested by Milgrom as an alternative to cosmic dark matter. The basic idea is that at accelerations below ao= 10-8 cm/s2=cHo/6 the effective gravitational attraction approaches , where gn is the usual Newtonian acceleration. This simple algorithm yields flat rotation curves for spiral galaxies and a mass-rotation velocity relation of the form MV4 that forms the basis for the observed luminosity-rotation velocity relation-the Tully-Fisher law. We review the phenomenological success of MOND on scales ranging from dwarf spheroidal galaxies to superclusters and demonstrate that the evidence for dark matter can be equally well interpreted as evidence for MOND. We discuss the possible physical basis for an acceleration-based modification of Newtonian dynamics as well as the extention of MOND to cosmology and structure formation.

    Notes: 1. The occurrence and grazing activity of mixotrophic (phagotrophic) algae in three icecovered freshwater lakes of different trophic status were examined (oligotrophic Lake Giles, mesotrophic Lake Lacawac, eutrophic Lake Waynewood), Microbial population densities were low (4.1–7.2 × 105 bacteria ml−1 and 1.2–2.4 × 103 nanoplanktonic protists ml−1). All three nanoplankton communities were dominated by chloroplast-bearing forms (60–96%).2. Mixotrophs formed up to 48% of the phototrophic nanoplankton in Lake Lacawac and were responsible for up to ∼90% of the observed uptake of bacteria-sized particles. The abundance of mixotrophic algae in Lakes Giles and Waynewood were extremely low (3 and 2% of the phototrophic algae, respectively), and heterotrophs dominated nanoplankton bacterivory.3. The overall impact of nanoplankton feeding activity on the bacterial assemblage was low under the ice in Lakes Giles and Waynewood. Removal rates of bacteria based on our particle uptake experiments were 1.0 and 4.0% of the bacterial standing stock day−1 in these lakes, respectively. Removal rates were higher in Lake Lacawac and ranged from 4.9 to 11% of the bacterial standing stock day−1 on 2 successive sampling days.
