Host-vector system for phenol-degrading Rhodococcus erythropolis based on Corynebacterium plasmids.

The strain Rhodococcus erythropolis CCM2595, which was shown to degrade phenol, was chosen for genetic studies. To facilitate strain improvement using the methods of gene manipulation, the technique of genetic transfer was introduced and cloning vectors were constructed. Using the plasmid pFAJ2574, an electrotransformation procedure yielding up to 7x10(4) transformants/microg DNA was optimized. Escherichia coli- R. erythropolis shuttle vectors were constructed using the replicons pSR1 and pGA1 from Corynebacterium glutamicum. The small vector pSRK21 (5.8 kb) provides six unique cloning sites and selection of recombinant clones using alpha-complementation of beta-galactosidase in E. coli. This vector, exhibiting high segregational stability under non-selective conditions in R. erythropolis CCM2595, was applied to cloning and efficient expression of the gene coding for green fluorescent protein (gfpuv).

Utilization of Lactobacillus sp. for steroid glycoalkaloids degradation by lactic acid fermentation.

The degradation fo steroid glycoalkaloids (SGAs) has been studied in model solutions. The number of colony forming units (CFU) was determined using a nondirect (cultivation) method during all stages of fermentation. The changes in SGAs content were observed by HPLC on the Supelcosil LC-NH2 column. The changes in alpha-tomatine concentration added to fermented Lactobacillus MRS broth have been studied. A mathematical model of steroid glycoalkaloids degradation during lactic fermentation was proposed. The mathematical model was based on the experimental data of SGA and glucose concentration and should be used for study and prediction of SGA concentration changes of fermented samples. The ratio of SGA degradation rate by fermentation and by lactic acid hydrolysis was calculated. The experimental data evaluated by proposed mathematical model for the selected strain of Lactobacillus plantarum 976H show real feasibility for SGA degradation by lactic acid fermentation.

Five new species of coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from Madagascan chameleons (Sauria: Chamaeleonidae).

Coprological examination of 19 Madagascan chameleons of the genera Furcifer and Brookesia revealed the presence of five new coccidian species. Isospora brygooi n. sp. from Furcifer pardalis has spherical to subspherical oöcysts with a slightly pitted wall, 20.7 (17-24.5) x 19.3 (16-23) microm and broadly ellipsoidal sporocysts, 12.2 (11.5-13) x 8.1 (8-8.5) microm, with Stieda and substieda bodies. Oöcysts of Eimeria glawi n. sp. from Furcifer pardalis are cylindrical to ellipsoidal, 27.7 (26-29.5) x 18.4 (17-19) microm, with ellipsoidal sporocysts, 7.3 (6.5-8) x 5.2 (5-5.5) microm. E. vencesi n. sp. described from F. pardalis has spherical to subspherical oöcysts, 14.3 (13-15.5) x 13.0 (12-13) microm, with small granules, one to three globular polar granules and ellipsoidal sporocysts, 7.3 (6.5-8) x 5.2 (5-5.5) microm. E. worthi n. sp., described from Furcifer oustaleti has spherical oöcysts, 17.9 (17.5-19.0) x 15.0 (14.5-16.0) microm without a polar granule and ellipsoidal to cylindroidal sporocysts, 8.2 (7.0-9.5) x 5.8 (5.0-6.5) microm. Oöcysts of E. brookesiae n. sp. from Brookesia decaryi are cylindrical, 25.6 (23-27) x 15.0 (13-16) microm with ellipsoidal sporocysts, 10.1 (9-11) x 6.9 (6-7) microm. Endogenous development of E. vencesi is confined to the intestine, while that of E. glawi occurs in the gall-bladder.

Two new species of coccidia (apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from the bearded false chameleon Chamaeleolis barbatus (Sauria: polychridae) from cinco pesos, Pinar Del Río, Cuba.

Parasitological examination of bearded false chameleons Chamaeleolis barbatus freshly imported from Cuba revealed the presence of 2 species of coccidia that are described as new. Oocysts of Isospora chamaeleolidis n. sp. are spherical to slightly subspherical, 16.1 (13-21) x 15.6 (13-19) microm, with a brownish and bilayered wall approximately 1.0-1.5 microm thick; outer layer markedly pitted. 0.75-1.0 microm thick. One, rarely 2, globular polar granules, 1.5 in diameter are present in the sporulated oocysts. Sporocysts are ellipsoidal, 10.8 (10-13) x 7.8 (7-9) microm, with a smooth, colorless, and unilayered sporocyst wall. Stieda body and substieda bodies are present. A sporocyst residuum is present, consisting of small granules of irregular size scattered among the sporozoites. Oocysts of Eimeria chamaeleolidisbarbati n. sp. are broadly oval, 19.0 (17-21) x 15.7 (15-17) microm, with a bilayered, colorless oocyst wall approximately 0.75 thick; outer layer of oocyst wall is smooth, 0.5 microm thick. One or 2, rarely 4, globular, irregular polar granules, approximately 1.5 microm in diameter, are present in sporulated oocysts. Sporocysts are broadly oval, 7.4 (7-8.5) x 6.1 (5.5-7) microm, with a smooth, colorless, and unilayered sporocyst wall, composed of 2 valves joined by suture; Stieda body and substieda bodies are absent.

[Humanitarian ideals and modern medicine].

The philosophical heritage of T.G. Masaryk is still meaningful today. His work contains principles of humanism which always influenced and will influence above all medicine in its human mission. It is deserving that after many years Masaryk's Humanitarian Ideals were re-published, the ideas of which can be applied and elaborated in all medical disciplines, in theoretical disciplines, as well as in prophylactic or experimental medicine. Clinical medicine is also imbued by the principles of humanism most closely where the object of interest is man as patient and the subsequent state of his physical mental and social welfare. Human health thus becomes the prerequisite of self-realization in creative work and the basic prerequisite of life in the cultural, spiritual and material sphere. Masaryk's philosophical and theoretical heritage stimulates the development of principles of humanism in modern contemporary medicine.

Computer-simulated analysis of in vitro cell migration.

Computer-simulated analysis of cell migration was attempted with the aim of improving the discriminative characterization of the in vitro locomotory behaviour of normal and neoplastic cells and verifying a concept of cell movement regulation proposed earlier. It suggested that cell membrane activity and distribution of resting periods along the cell trajectory could be introduced with advantage among the migration parameters; this appeared to be a promising refinement on the standard methodology. Moreover, it was inferred that setting up critical, instead of optimal, conditions for cells in culture should reveal behavioural differences otherwise hidden.
