Behavior of the indian social wasp ropalidia-cyathiformis on a nest of separate combs (hymenoptera, vespidae)

Observations were made on a nest of Ropalidia cyathiformis consisting of three combs. The number of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults were monitored at about 3-day intervals for a 2-month period. The behaviour of the adults was observed with special reference to the proportion of time spent on each of the three combs, the proportion of time spent away from the nest site and the frequencies of dominance interactions and egg laying. The adults moved freely between the three combs suggesting that all of them and all the three combs belonged to one nest. However, most of the adults preferred combs 2 and 3 over comb 1. Of the 10 animals chosen for a detailed analysis of behaviour, seven spent varying periods of time away from the nest site and oRen brought back food or building material. Five of the 10 animals laid at least one egg each but two adults monopolized most of the egg-laying. The animals showed a variety of dominance interactions on the basis of which they have been arranged in a dominance hierarchy. The dominant individuals laid most of the eggs and spent little or no time foraging, while the subordinate individuals spent more time foraging and laid few eggs or none. It is argued that R. cyathiformis is different from R. marginata, the only other Indian social wasp whose behaviour has been studied, in being at a more primitive stage of social organization.

N-Acetylglycyl-L-lysine methyl ester acetate

C llH22 N 30 + . C2H302, orthorhombic, P2~2~2~, a = 5.511(2), b = 14.588(4), c = 21.109 (4)A, Z = 4. The structure has been solved using MULTAN and refined to R = 0.079 for 993 observed reflections. The fully extended lysine side chain in the molecule is staggered between the main-chain amino and carbonyl groups. The dipeptide molecules in the crystal structure are arranged in twofold helices centred on 21 screw axes. These helices are interconnected through interactions involving the acetate and the side-chain amino groups. Each acetate group bridges two adjacent side-chain amino groups, related by an a translation, giving rise to an infinitely long chain of alternating negatively charged carboxylate and positively charged amino groups.

Superhydrophobic Polymers

Superhydrophobic polymers are particularly attractive materials, as they combine low cost, ease of processing, and compatibility with a variety of applications. Surfaces that display the Cassie–Baxter wetting state are particularly attractive for their self-cleaning properties. In this chapter, a brief overview of the wetting principles will be followed by an account of several techniques currently used to impart superhydrophobicity onto polymer surfaces. Surface roughness and surface structure will be the focus of this chapter, with an emphasis on topographies that exhibit microscale or nanoscale features arranged in hierarchical order.

Lantibiotic Nisin and Its Detection Methods

The type A lantibiotic nisin produced by several Lactococcus lactis strains, and one Streptococcus uberis strainis a small antimicrobial peptide that inhibits the growth of a wide range of gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus, Clostridium, Listeria and Staphylococcus species. It is nontoxic to humans and used as a food preservative (E234) in more than 50 countries including the EU, the USA, and China. National legislations concerning maximum addition levels of nisin in different foods vary greatly. Therefore, there is a demand for non-laborious and sensitive methods to identify and quantify nisin reliably from different food matrices. The horizontal inhibition assay, based on the inhibitory effect of nisin to Micrococcus luteus is the base for most quantification methods developed so far. However, the sensitivity and accuracy of the agar diffusion method is affected by several parameters. Immunological tests have also been described. Taken into account the sensitivity of immunological methods to interfering substances within sample matrices, and possible cross-reactivities with lantibiotics structurally close to nisin, their usefulness for nisin detection from food samples remains limited. The proteins responsible for nisin biosynthesis, and producer self-immunity are encoded by genes arranged into two inducible operons, nisA/Z/QBTCIPRK and nisFEG, which also contain internal, constitutive promoters PnisI and PnisR. The transmembrane histidine kinase NisK and the response regulator NisR form a two-component signal transduction system, in which NisK autophosphorylates after exposure to extra cellular nisin, and subsequently transfers the phosphate to NisR. The phosphorylated NisR then relays the signal downstream by binding to two regulated promoters in the nisin gene cluster, i.e the nisA/Z/Qand the nisF promoters, thus activating transcription of the structural gene nisA/Z/Q and the downstream genes nisBTCIPRK from the nisA/Z/Q promoter, and the genes nisFEG from the nisF promoter. In this work two novel and highly sensitive nisin bioassays were developed. Both of these quantification methods were based on NisRK mediated, nisin induced Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) fluorescence. The suitabilities of these assays for quantifica¬tion of nisin from food samples were evaluated in several food matrices. These bioassays had nisin sensitivities in the nanogram or picogram levels. In addition, shelf life of nisin in cooked sausages and retainment of the induction activity of nisin in intestinal chyme (intestinal content) was assessed.
