  1. Blue-green algal virus N-1: Physical properties and disassembly into structural parts. Adolph, K.W., Haselkorn, R. (1973). Virology 427-440. The structure of N-1, a virus infecting the filamentous, nitrogen-fixing blue-green alga Nostoc muscorem, has been further characterized. The edge-to-edge distance of the N-1 head is 614 ± 18 Å; the length of the tail is 1000 ± 62 Å. Flexible beaded fibers are attached to the N-1 neck. Optical diffreaction of extended and contracted sheaths suggests that a rearrangement of protein subunits occurs upon contraction. The molecular weight of the viral DNA calculated from the sedimentation coefficient is 44 ± 3 X 106. Based upon the contour length of N-1 DNA molecules, the molecular weight is 41.8 ± 3.6 X 106. ¶ A survey has been made of the effects of a number of protein denaturing agents (urea and guanidine hydrochloride, anionic and cationic detergents, extremes of pH, and ultraviolet irradiation) upon the native viral morphology. For each agent tested, the first observable effect was to trigger a shortening (probably contraction) of the tail sheath. The most resistant viral substructure was the contracted sheath. From these investigations a hierarchy of increasing resistance to chemical degradation could be arranged: capside, tail core, tail sheath. [TOP OF PAGE]

An easy and sensitive way of measuring the proportion of E. coli cells which are lysogenized by lambda phage mutants has been devised. With this assay it was possible to analyze the lysogenic response as a function of the average phage input per cell. The results indicate that lysogenization of exponentially growing cells requires that the cells are infected by at least two phages able to replicate, or three or four phages unable to replicate.

  43. Coexistance in laboratory populations of Paramecium aurelia and its predator Didinium nasutum. Luckinbill, L.S. (1973). Ecology 54:1320-1327. Previous attempts at the prolonged laboratory study of predator-prey systems lacking refuges or physical complexity have been unsuccessful. The addition of methly cellulose to interacting laboratory populations of Paramecium aurelia and it predator, Didinium nasutum, prolongs coexistance by reducing the frequency of contact between predator and prey. The study of this system under controlled conditions revealed the perturbing influence of time delay in a predator population that resulted in oscilllations of hte increasing amplitude terminating with D. nasutum's extinction. Enrichment of the system by supplying excess bacteria resulted in the extinction of P. aurelia. The perturbing effect of D. nasutum's time delay was counteracted by reducing the amount of bacterial food for Paramecium. In this sytem, prey became food-limited at their peak density, resulting in limit cycle oscillations of predator and prey at approximately constant amplitude. The medium used for these experiments lacked physical inconsistencies that might act as barriers to movement and add not provide the prey with a superior dispersal ability. Coexistance of the predator and prey in this experimental system did not result from the introduction of refuges or physical complexity. [TOP OF PAGE]

  71. An extended growth cycle in T4-infected Aerobacter aerogenes. Wais, A.C., Goldberg, E.B. (1973). Virology 55:397-399. Spheroplasts of Aerobacter aerogenes infected with T4 produce about five times more phages than do spheroplasts of E. coli because they do not lyse at the usual time. This implies a role for the host in cessation of phage synthesis. ¶ In 1969 Wais and Goldberg reported that cultures of A. aerogenes spheroplasts infected with urea treated T4 phage particles produced more phage than did similarly infected cultures of E. coli spheroplasts. We thought it strange that phage T4 should grow better in spheroplasts of a resistant host than in its usual host. We now report that the A. aerogenes host supports an extended phage growth cycle resulting in the production of 1000 or more phage in singly infected, isolated spheroplasts. Augmented phage production appears to be due to failure of the phage lysis mechanism to lyse the membrane of the A. aerogenes spheroplast. [TOP OF PAGE]
