1. A local population of Gammarus pulex, infected with Heliospora longissima and Rotundula gammari, was found to have an intracellular developmental stage.2. Experimental infections of G. pulex were made with the two species of gregarines. In the case of R. gammari infections, large numbers of intracellular developmental stages were found.3. The taxonomic relationship of the genera Cephaloidophora and Rotundula is discussed.Thanks are due to Dr P. Tate for constant encouragement and guidance during the course of this work and for the many helpful suggestions in the preparation of the manuscript. Thanks are also due to Mr D. W. T. Crompton for kindly giving me the infected material. The work was completed during the tenure of a Royal Society and Nuffield Foundation Commonwealth Bursary.

ABSTRACT Eight different Bacillus subtilis strains and Bacillus atrophaeus were found to produce the bacteriocin subtilosin A. On the basis of the subtilosin gene (sbo) sequences two distinct classes of B. subtilis strains were distinguished, and they fell into the two B. subtilis subspecies (B. subtilis subsp. subtilis and B. subtilis subsp. spizizenii). The entire sequence of the subtilosin gene cluster of a B. subtilis subsp. spizizenii strain, B. subtilis ATCC 6633, was determined. This sequence exhibited a high level of homology to the sequence of the sbo-alb gene locus of B. subtilis 168. By using primer extension analysis the transcriptional start sites of sbo in B. subtilis strains ATCC 6633 and 168 were found to be 47 and 45 bp upstream of the sbo start codon, respectively. Our results provide insight into the incipient evolutionary divergence of the two B. subtilis subspecies.

Since few decades, the fabrications of metal oxide nanoparticles (MO-Nps) as well as their uses in various segments have been increased manifolds. An easy effort to produce an important category of MO-Nps as Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-Nps), with the assistance of mechano-solution method at various low temperatures, introducing Zinc acetate dihydrate and Sodium hydroxide into the molar solution of C19H42NBr complex (Cetrimonium bromide, CTAB) for much less than an hour was projected. The impact of this method performed at two different ranges of process temperatures was studied and the magnitude of the ZnO-Nps (like particle size, morphology and L/D dimensions) has been reported. On the top of this, the morphological study of these Nps has been presented. The characterization of the synthesized Nps was carried out with the help of SEM with EDS, XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy. The scanning electron microscopy has revealed the synthesis of peanut-shaped ZnO nanobunches (NBs) at two different ranges of temperature. An overall viable growth of the solitary nanoparticles constituting of ZnO-NBs has also been put forth. Hence, the effect of temperature on C19H42NBr complex (stabilizer) has been reported. In addition, a postulated model depicting the relationship of the temperature effect on the process parameters of ZnO-NBs has also been floated. The Gram +ve bacteria, Bacillus subtilis is a rod shaped bacteria which is commonly known as normal gut commensal in humans. Due to the emergence of anti-biotic resistant drugs, alternate medications are under primary considerations. A noteworthy experimentation was concerned with anti-bacterial activity of therapeutically viable Gram +ve bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and it was found that reported ZnO-NBs have become the promising entities for terminating the growth of these bacterias.

Festuca galiciensis, a new endemic species from Western Ukraine is described. Its ecology, distribution, morphology and leaf anatomy are discussed. The taxonomic relationship of the new species with F. rupicola, with which it grows in mixed populations, and its delimitation with respect to other species of the F. valesiaca group, are also discussed.
