Pub Date Free Form / Volume 26 Issue 8 Start Page 971 Other Pages 977 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0008-4166 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Nodulation of actinorhizal plants (Alnus rubra Bong, and others) by isolated Frankia strains occurred either at a low frequency or not at all under axenic conditions. But nodulation was achieved under nonsterile conditions and four strains of bacteria were isolated which promoted nodulation when plants were inoculated with the bacteria plus Frankia. Four strains of Pseudomonas cepacia also promoted nodulation. Root hair deformation occurred when roots of A. rubra were inoculated with these bacterial isolates, or with the bacteria plus Frankia, but rarely or not at all when roots were inoculated with the actinomycete alone. The nonendophytic bacterial strains were not detected within the nodule tissue. It is proposed that the bacterial isolates aid in the infection process at the host root hair surface, by causing root hair deformation; this may allow intimate contact between the Frankia filament and the hair wall.

Toxigenic isolates of Vibrio cholerae, biotype eltor, serotype Inaba, phage-type 2, were obtained from the index case, a companion of the patient, the reticulated water supply of their place of residence, and a stretch of the neighbouring river that was being used to supplement fully treated water piped from Brisbane. Treatment of the auxiliary supply consisted solely of chlorination. A section of another river was later shown to contain V.cholerae. No source of pollution was identified for either river. From the persistence of the microorganism in the first river over a two-month period, despite increases in river flow following significant rainfall, it seems that the cholera vibrio can not only survive for a long period but can also grow in the river water. This strongly suggests that certain surface, and possibly subsurface, waters may serve as potential silent foci of V.cholerae. Hence the importance of providing bacteriologically safe water supplies, and the possible need to expand the definition of a 'cholera-receptive area'.

Pub Date Free Form 1980/04 Volume 21 Issue 4 Start Page 287 Other Pages 306 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0269-7491 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Albus rubra (Bong.) was grown for three months in a greenhouse and given 0, 6, 12, 31 and 62 Î¼g cadmium/litre of nitrogen-free nutrient solution for 11 weeks. Segments of nodules and secondary roots were collected from plants grown at the different Cd levels. Thin sections were made for transmission electron microscopy and the ultrastructure of root and nodule cells was then investigated. Endophyte resorption advanced in the nodules and the number of starch grains in root xylem parenchyma cells tripled as the cadmium concentration increased from 12 to 62 Î¼g/litre of nutrient solution. Nucleoli increased in prominence in the nuclei of the root xylem parenchyma cells as the cadmium concentration in the nutrient solution was raised from 12 to 62 Î¼g/litre. Observations of root and nodule cell ultrastructure of Albus rubra suggest that cadmium exerts its toxic effect in roots and nodules by decreasing the number of endophyte structures capable of fixing nitrogen and reducing the rate of respiration and growth by host plant cells.

Treatment of red alder seedlings for 11 weeks with 0.545 to 136 Î¼M CdCl2 in N-free nutrient solution decreased in situ nitrogenase activity 25 to 89%, N fixation 23 to 98%, and the number of nodules per plant 29 to 74%, when compared to plants receiving no Cd. Similar reductions were observed in plant growth. Treatment with 0.054 to 0.545 Î¼M CdCl2, N fixation decreased 52 and 89%, respectively. Plant growth decreased 22 and 6 mM NH4NO3 or Ca(NO3)2, nitrate reductase activity decreased 22 and 24%, respectively, when compared to plants receiving no CdCl2. Nitrogen accretion and plant dry weights were decreased by treatments in which plants were supplied with Ca(NO3)2 and 0.273 and 0.545 Î¼M CdCl2, when compared to controls without CdCl2. These results suggest that Cd can inhibit nitrogenase activity and therefore N fixation. Growth, nodulation, and nitrate reductase activity are also inhibited by Cd.

All but one of the cannabis fractions prolonged the pentobarbital sleeping-time and disrupted the nest-building activity of mice in a way not related to their content in the main cannabinoids. Nest-building activity seems to be the most valid assay we have used so far.

The bacteriological results are given. Salmonellae were isolated in three samples of drinking water and in one sample of sludge from a municipal drinking water pipe. Additional experiments confirm that growth of salmonellae and other entereobacteria is possible in that sludge. These findings implicate some considerations: E. coli and coliforms are the most important microbial water quality indication. It is presupposed that, when the indicator density is low (less than 1 per 100 ml) the probability that pathogens are present also will be very low. But the question is how low? The risk factor may be estimated on the base of a E. coli-Salmonella ratio in raw sewage of about 106. But this ratio is already lessened in effluents of sewage treatment plants to 103 and often seems to be 102 in inadequately disinfected drinking water. For example, we have found four Salmonella and 408 E. coli serotypes over two years. Therefore, the judgement of the presence of E. coli or coliforms in samples of drinking water is important in this judgment of improvement of water quality by disinfection.

Relationship of blood lead in women and children to domestic water lead	1979	MRC Epidemiol. Unit, Cardiff	Read more...

Nature Pub Date Free Form 1979/ Volume 282 Issue 5740 Start Page 712 Other Pages 713 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0028-0836 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Humans can be exposed to lead through food, drink, various occupations or hobbies and also some cosmetics. The contribution of these different exposures to the total body uptake varies between individuals and groups but it is generally accepted that food and drink are the major sources of body lead. On average, lead from water contributes markedly less to total intake than does lead from food. It has been suggested, however, that when average lead in water rises above 0.1 mg I-1 the intake from water begins to match or exceed that from food. We have previously reported that the mean blood lead levels in mothers and children on a housing estate with lead water pipes were over twice as high as those on an adjacent estate using copper pipes. Here we report that the blood lead levels, even when raised, remained very stable when lead exposures were unchanged. The removal of the lead water pipes produced a drop of approximately 50% in mean blood lead levels, reducing them to levels comparable to those on the copper piped estate. No other changes in lead exposure could be found to explain the variations in blood lead levels between the estates, and therefore the possibility of the large contribution of water lead to blood lead should be considered where the conditions described below are known to occur.

The finding was strongest for children who had spent their entire lives at the same address, and it appeared to be dose-related. It did not seem to be an artifact of neighborhood, street congestion, social class, or family structure. The reason for the correlation is uncertain; possible effects of current in the water pipes or of AC magnetic fields are suggested.
