Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The main objective of this thesis has been to identify and characterise responses to purine compounds in a variety of invertebrates and lower vertebrates, and to examine whether they act on receptors that resemble the purinoceptor subtypes established in mammals. Tissues were chosen largely from the gastrointestinal or cardiovascular systems. In mammalian systems adenosine and adenosine 5 ’-triphosphate (ATP) activate separate classes of purinoceptors; this also appears to be true for tissues in most invertebrate groups, but there are exceptions, for instance the hearts of the snail Helix aspeTsa, and slug Avion atev, and the snail rectum all possess purinoceptors that do not appear to distinguish the purine nucleosides from nucleotides.

Variations in Bacterial Adenosine Triphosphate Values Due to Genus and Environmental Conditions
VARIATIONS IN BACTERIAL ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE VALUES DUE TO GENUS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS by Ruann Knox Hampson Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science and Technology APPROVED: M. D. Pierson, Chairman J. K. Palmer A. A. Yousten December, 1986 Blacksburg, Virginia VARIATIONS IN BACTERIAL ADENOSINE TRIPOSPHATE VALUES DUE TO GENUS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS by Ruann Knox Hampson Committee Chairman: Merle D. Pierson Food Science and Technology (ABSTRACT) Variations in ATP content in three ground beef spoilage bacteria, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Pseudomonas sp. were investigated using the bioluminescence (luciferin-luciferase) assay. Environmental factors (temperature, atmosphere, pH, aeration, and phase of growth), as well as differences among genera and species, were studied in relation to their effect on cellular ATP. Variations for each of the environmental factors and bacteria were shown statistically to be significantly different at the 0.05 level. The mean ATP/cell for each of the bacteria was 2.71 fg/cell (1..:_ brevis), 2.20 fg/cell (1..:_ jensenii), and 1.36 fg/cell (Pseudomonas sp.). For all three bacteria, ATP/cell was lower and more stable throughout the culture's growth cycle at 3°c or in N2 . In general, ATP/cell increases from a lowest value in lag phase to a highest value in stationary phase. The effect of sonication on ATP/cell was tested for each bacterium at one set of factors. Sonication studies showed that L. brevis cells were clumping, especially in aged cultures.

ASM Abbreviations
The words, abbreviations, and designations that follow are commonly encountered in ASM manuscripts. An asterisk (*) indicates that the abbreviation may be used (without introduction) with or without a numeral; however, the term should always be abbreviated in the bodies of tables. A double asterisk (**) indicates that the abbreviation must be used without introduction. “Need not be defined” means that the abbreviation does not have to be introduced, but it may be. “Hyphenated as unit modifier” means that the phrase is hyphenated when it is used adjectivally and precedes the noun it modifies; when it follows the noun, it should not be hyphenated: Gram-positive cells, BUT the cells were Gram positive. “Follow au.” means that ASM copy editors follow the author if one of the alternative forms is used consistently throughout the manuscript; otherwise, the copy editor will choose one form and be consistent. At times, your definition for an abbreviation may vary significantly from the one given here. Generally, ASM copy editors will follow the author, especially if the term is a chemical name that can be verified. If the variation is slight, however (e.g., hyphens, spacing), the copy editor will follow this manual. You may find helpful medical acronym websites like https://www.medindia.net/medical-abbreviations-and- acronyms/index.asp and https://www.medilexicon.com/abbreviations. As a general rule, use the specific abbreviations given in this list: PFU, NOT pfu; i.p., NOT IP; cpm, NOT CPM; IFN, NOT IF. For abbreviations that do not appear in this manual, periods and all-lowercase abbreviations should be avoided.

New Insights Into Marine Group III Euryarchaeota, from Dark to Light
The ISME Journal (2017), 1–16 © 2017 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/17 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE New insights into marine group III Euryarchaeota, from dark to light Jose M Haro-Moreno1,3, Francisco Rodriguez-Valera1, Purificación López-García2, David Moreira2 and Ana-Belen Martin-Cuadrado1,3 1Evolutionary Genomics Group, Departamento de Producción Vegetal y Microbiología, Universidad Miguel Hernández, Alicante, Spain and 2Unité d’Ecologie, Systématique et Evolution, UMR CNRS 8079, Université Paris-Sud, Orsay Cedex, France Marine Euryarchaeota remain among the least understood major components of marine microbial communities. Marine group II Euryarchaeota (MG-II) are more abundant in surface waters (4–20% of the total prokaryotic community), whereas marine group III Euryarchaeota (MG-III) are generally considered low-abundance members of deep mesopelagic and bathypelagic communities. Using genome assembly from direct metagenome reads and metagenomic fosmid clones, we have identified six novel MG-III genome sequence bins from the photic zone (Epi1–6) and two novel bins from deep-sea samples (Bathy1–2). Genome completeness in those genome bins varies from 44% to 85%. Photic-zone MG-III bins corresponded to novel groups with no similarity, and significantly lower GC content, when compared with previously described deep-MG-III genome bins. As found in many other epipelagic microorganisms, photic-zone MG-III bins contained numerous photolyase and rhodopsin genes, as well as genes for peptide and lipid uptake and degradation, suggesting a photoheterotrophic lifestyle. Phylogenetic analysis of these photolyases and rhodopsins as well as their genomic context suggests that these genes are of bacterial origin, supporting the hypothesis of an MG-III ancestor that lived in the dark ocean.

Transcriptome Response of Lactobacillus plantarum to Global Regulator Deficiency, Stress and other Environmental Conditions. PhD Thesis. Wageningen University and Research Centre, The Netherlands, 2008. With Summary in Dutch ISBN: 978-90-8504-869-5 Abstract Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacterium encountered in a variety of food and feed fermentations and as a natural inhabitant of human gastrointestinal tract. To survive in these niches and to maintain its capability, L. plantarum has to respond to numerous changing conditions and the cellular processes involved in these responses are frequently regulated at the transcriptional level. For this reason the transcriptome of a cell is of interest, as it contains information about the transcriptional response of individual genes. Transcriptomic approaches allow elucidation of transcriptional behaviour of all genes at once and are therefore a powerful tool to study all the transcriptional response of a bacterium to differential conditions.

Conners, Shannon Burns. Carbohydrate Utilization Pathway Analysis in the Hyperthermophile Thermotoga Maritima
Conners, Shannon Burns. Carbohydrate utilization pathway analysis in the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima. (Under the direction of Robert Kelly) Carbohydrate utilization and production pathways identified in Thermotoga species likely contribute to their ubiquity in hydrothermal environments. Many carbohydrate-active enzymes from Thermotoga maritima have been characterized biochemically; however, sugar uptake systems and regulatory mechanisms that control them have not been well defined. Transcriptional data from cDNA microarrays were examined using mixed effects statistical models to predict candidate sugar substrates for ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters in T. maritima. Genes encoding proteins previously annotated as oligopeptide/dipeptide ABC transporters responded transcriptionally to various carbohydrates. This finding was consistent with protein sequence comparisons that revealed closer relationships to archaeal sugar transporters than to bacterial peptide transporters. In many cases, glycosyl hydrolases, co-localized with these transporters, also responded to the same sugars. Putative transcriptional repressors of the LacI, XylR, and DeoR families were likely involved in regulating genomic units for β-1,4-glucan, β- 1,3-glucan, β-1,4-mannan, ribose, and rhamnose metabolism and transport. Carbohydrate utilization pathways in T. maritima may be related to ecological interactions within cell communities. Exopolysaccharide-based biofilms composed primarily of β-linked glucose, with small amounts of mannose and ribose, formed under certain conditions in both pure T. maritima cultures and mixed cultures of T. maritima and M. jannaschii. Further examination of transcriptional differences between biofilm-bound sessile cells and planktonic cells revealed differential expression of β-glucan-specific degradation enzymes, even though maltose, an α-1,4 linked glucose disaccharide, was used as a growth substrate.

Received: 1 July 2018; Accepted: 20 July 2018; Published: 23 July 2018 Abstract: Antimetabolites, in particular nucleobase and nucleoside analogues, are cytotoxic drugs that, starting from the small field of paediatric oncology, in combination with other chemotherapeutics, have revolutionised clinical oncology and transformed cancer into a curable disease. However, even though combination chemotherapy, together with radiation, surgery and immunotherapy, can nowadays cure almost all types of cancer, we still fail to achieve this for a substantial proportion of patients. The understanding of differences in metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tumour biology between patients that can be cured and patients that cannot, builds the scientific basis for rational therapy improvements. Here, we summarise current knowledge of how tumour-specific and patient-specific factors can dictate resistance to nucleobase/nucleoside analogues, and which strategies of re-sensitisation exist. We revisit well-established hurdles to treatment efficacy, like the blood-brain barrier and reduced deoxycytidine kinase activity, but will also discuss the role of novel resistance factors, such as SAMHD1.
