Effects of light intensity and temperature on Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Cyanobacteria) with straight and coiled trichomes: growth rate and morphology

Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Woloszynska) Seenayya et Subba Raju (Ordem Nostocales) is one of the most troublesome bloom-forming species in Brazil. Understanding the population dynamics of the different morphotypes of C. raciborskii (straight and coiled) could assist in the prediction of favourable conditions for the proliferation of this potentially toxin-producing species. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of two different light intensities and temperatures on the growth rate and morphology of the trichomes of the straight and coiled morphotypes. For such, two non-toxin producing strains of C. raciborskii were used - one with a coiled trichome (ITEP31) and another with a straight trichome (ITEP28). The strains were cultured in BG-11 medium in a climatic chamber under controlled conditions. Two light intensities (30 and 90 mu mol.m(-2).s(-1)) were combined at temperatures of 21 and 31 degrees C and the growth rate and morphological changes were analysed. The morphotypes responded differently to the different temperatures and light intensities. Both strains exhibited faster growth velocities when submitted to higher light intensity and temperature. The lower temperature and higher luminosity hampered the development of both strains. Variations in cellular morphology and an absence of akinetes in both strains were related to the lower temperature (21 C). The coiled morphotype demonstrated considerable phenotype plasticity, changing the morphology of trichome throughout its growth curve. Although molecular analysis does not sustain the separation of the morphotypes as distinct species, their different eco-physiological responses should be considered further knowledge of extreme importance for the population control of these potentially toxic organisms.

Proteins unfold in steps

I present results from an experiment on the dynamics of folding of a globular protein (bovine serum albumin). Employing a micro-mechanical technique, I perform the measurements on very few molecules (1–100). I observed a sequence of steps in time for both unfolding and refolding. The overall characteristic time of the process is thus built up of waiting times between successive steps. The pattern of steps is reproducible, demonstrating the existence of deterministic pathways for folding and unfolding. Certain symmetries in the patterns of steps may reflect the architecture of the protein’s structure.

Diferentes produtos de sensoriamento remoto no mapeamento visual de drenagens e nascentes na microbacia hidrográfica do Ceveiro

O uso de imagens de satélite e fotografias aéreas são cada vez mais comuns na obtenção de dados sobre recursos ambientais, como os cursos d?água. Deste modo, o presente trabalho objetivou comparar três diferentes produtos de Sensoriamento Remoto no mapeamento visual de drenagens e nascentes: imagens do satélite SPOT/Ikonos, imagens do programa Google Earth® e fotografias aéreas, na Microbacia Hidrográfica do Córrego do Ceveiro (MHC), localizada em Piracicaba/SP. Utilizou-se rede de drenagem presente em cartas topográficas do IGC/SP, escala 1:10.000, como base para comparação. Foram analisados dois fatores: comprimento de drenagem (CD) e número de nascentes (NN), sendo as análises realizadas apenas em caráter quantitativo. Para o CD, o produto SPOT se mostrou mais semelhante às cartas 1:10.000, apresentando 1,43% acima do CD existente nas cartas. Para o NN, a fotografia aérea mostrou o coeficiente mais alto, sendo esse o produto analisado que apresentou maior equivalência com o valor das nascentes observadas nas cartas.
