Effect of nutrient limitation on genomic rearrangements in prokaryotes. Final report
Abstract
During the total agreement period, more than 200 unique heterotrophic aerobic bacteria were isolated from samples of deep subsurface sediments retrieved from depths of 149.2 and 178.9 m of a vertical bore hole at Cerro Negro (CNV1). All the isolates were characterized phylogenetically and deposited to SMCC. Several clones belonging to a family currently believed to be of strictly marine origin (Microscilla) were found among the isolates. The bacteria might be the descendants of those present in marine environment at the time of deposition. This is an important conclusion for the entire deep subsurface Microbial Origins project. The authors determined diversity of populations of prokaryotic genomes of independent bacterial clones isolated from both surface soil, and subsurface sediments. The degree of diversity for deep subsurface isolates was exceedingly high, much higher than that observed for surface soil isolates. The authors have found that the genomes of some subsurface isolates are significantly more plastic than those for strains isolated from surface environments. The most intriguing discovery was isolation and cultivation of populations of nonplateable novel ultra small bacteria, which are phylogenetically more close to chloroplasts of higher plants, than any other existing bacteria including Cyanobacteria.

This study compares alternative dairy manure management systems operated under full scale commercial conditions. The study investigates weight of manure handled per cow per year, labor and energy requirements, effect on the environment, nutrient conservation, corn silage production and total annual operating costs. The dairy production facility used was a confinement stall barn at the Agway Farm Research Center, Tully, New York. Provisions were made to handle the manure from the barn in three ways: (1) directly into a spreader for daily spreading, (2) by gravity into a liquid manure storage tank for spring application and immediate plow down, (3)more »

Ecological studies on the revegetation process of surface coal mined areas in North Dakota. 11. Effect of amendments on soil-plant-nutrient relations under controlled conditions. Final report Aug 75-Jun 82
Several growth chamber and laboratory experiments were conducted to study the germination behavior of plant species on mine spoils and plant growth responses to nutrients on spoils and topsoils. Experiments were conducted to study the germination potential of some native and introduced species under various conditions. -
The Protective Effect of Cysteamine ($beta$-Mercaptoethylamine) on Chromosome Rearrangements in the Tissues of Monkeys and Mice; ZASHCHITNYI EFFEKT TSISTEAMINA ($beta$-MERKAPTOETILAMINA) NA KHROMOSOMNYE PERESTROIKI V TKANYAKH OBEZ'YAN I MYSHEI
Data are presented on the protective effects of cysteamine against radioinduced chromosome disturbances in gonad germ cells and in bone marrow cells. The data were taken from studies on Macaca mulatta monkeys. Intraperitoneal injections of 3 mg cysteamine, considered to be 150 mg/kg for mice and 100 mg/kg for monkeys, indicated mean protective effects on cells of genetic material epithelium and on bone marrow as 42.75 and 50.77% for mice and 52.4 and 50.8% for monkeys. Cytological studies confirm the higher radiosensitivity of genetic material epithelium cells in monkeys as compared to mice. It is postulated that cysteamine chromosome protectionmore » -
The Genetic Effect of Radiation in Micro-Organisms on Various Rearrangements of the Nuclear Structures; GENETICHESKII EFFEKT RADIATSII U MIKROORGANIZMOV PRI RAZLICHNYKH PERESTROIKAKH YADERNYKH STRUKTUR
The influence of the genotype of an organism on the genetic effects induced by radiation is analyzed. The change in radiation genetic effects due to the change in the number of nuclear structures in the cell and the effects of the reconstruction of nuclear structures on the response of separate genes were investigated in two groups of penicillin strains. The dipole family 48/66 consisting of four strains, two initial haploids, the diploid itself, and recombination diploid and diploid 16/66, also consisting of two haploids, the diploid and recombination were studied using ultraviolet and x rays. The data show that amore »
