Taxonomic Implications

The extent of hybrid formation between the ribosomal ribonucleic acid (r-RNA) of Hyphomicrobium strain B-522 and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from bacteria of 21 different genera was examined. Three generalized groupings were formed. Group I (72–100%) consisted entirely of other strains of Hyphomicrobium. Representatives of the genera Rhodopseudomonas, Chromatium, Caulobacter, Prosthecomicrobium, Rhodomicrobium, Hyphomonas, and Hyphomicrobium made up group II (49–69%). The remaining Gram-negative, Gram-positive, and cell wall – less bacteria fell into group III (12–40%). The taxonomic implications of these results are discussed.

A simple and efficient method for hybridization and subsequent recovery of non-fragmented ribosomal RNA from the hybrid is described. The procedure involves annealing of immobilized denatured DNA bound on cellulose nitrate membrane filters to complementary RNA in 50% (v/v) formamide–0·33m-potassium chloride–10mm-tris–hydrochloric acid buffer, pH7·4, at 33° for 3hr. Under these conditions no detectable changes in the sedimentation coefficients of the input RNA were detected. The RNA can subsequently be recovered quantitatively from the hybrid in intact form by incubating the filters in formamide or in 85% (v/v) dimethyl sulphoxide. The applicability of the method for the evaluation of the absolute size of ribosomal RNA cistrons in Escherichia coli DNA and for the determination of the size of messenger RNA molecules is discussed.

Moderate Effect

SUMMARY Oestradiol-17β at a concentration of 3 × 10−3 m inhibits cleavage in sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) embryos. This inhibition is accompanied by a reduction in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis and little change in ribonucleic acid (RNA). The effects of oestradiol-17β upon the incorporation of glycine-1-14C and glycine-2-14C into the purines of DNA and RNA and the incorporation of glycine-2-14C into serine were studied. The incorporation of glycine-1-14C and glycine-2-14C into RNA was reduced, but the incorporation of glycine-2-14C into DNA was increased considerably over that of the controls. The incorporation of glycine-2-14C into serine was also accelerated by oestradiol. A possible explanation of the action of oestradiol-17β is offered. The moderate effect upon RNA is not surprising because there is little or no synthesis of this compound from the time of fertilization to blastulation under normal conditions.
