We have isolated a cDNA encoding the Δ8 sphingolipid desaturase from the plant Aquilegia vulgaris L. via a PCR-based strategy using primers designed to target the conserved histidine box regions of microsomal desaturases. The function of the cDNA was confirmed by expression in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analysis of the long-chain sphingoid bases as their dinitrophenyl derivatives by reverse-phase HPLC demonstrated the accumulation of cis- and trans-desaturated sphingoid bases which were not present in the wild-type yeast cells. The Δ8 desaturated products co-eluted with known Δ8-desaturated phytosphingenine and the molecular mass of these products was confirmed by liquid chromatography-MS. The Δ8 long-chain base desaturase was also able to desaturate dihydrosphingosine substrates. This is the first report of the functional characterization of an A. vulgaris gene product.

Staining techniques can be used for either the identification of different polymers or for the differentiation of specific morphological domains within a given polymer. To reveal morphological features in nylon 6, we choose a technique based upon diffusion of the staining agent into accessible regions of the polymer.When a crystallizable polymer - such as nylon 6 - is cooled from the melt, lamellae form by chainfolding of the crystallizing long chain macromolecules. The regions between adjacent lamellae represent the less ordered amorphous domains into which stain can diffuse. In this process the lamellae will be “outlined” by the dense stain, giving rise to contrast comparable to that obtained by “negative” staining techniques.If the cooling of the polymer melt proceeds relatively slowly - as in molding operations - the lamellae are usually arranged in a radial manner. This morphology is referred to as spherulitic.

Contamination in electron microscopes can be a serious problem in STEM or in situations where a number of high resolution micrographs are required of the same area in TEM. In modern instruments the environment around the specimen can be made free of the hydrocarbon molecules, which are responsible for contamination, by means of either ultra-high vacuum or cryo-pumping techniques. However, these techniques are not effective against hydrocarbon molecules adsorbed on the specimen surface before or during its introduction into the microscope. The present paper is concerned with a theory of how certain physical parameters can influence the surface diffusion of these adsorbed molecules into the electron beam where they are deposited in the form of long chain carbon compounds by interaction with the primary electrons.
