Induction of Visible Mutations in Mormoniella by Use of Low Frequency Ultrasonic Energy

Description: Low-frequency ultrasonic energy was utilized in an attempt to induce visible mutations in the parasitoid wasp Mormoniella vitripennis. This study demonstrates that low frequency ultrasound may be used as an effective mutagenic agent in this organism, and suggests that it may have applications to other genetic systems.

The Isolation and Characterization of a Hitherto Undescribed Gram-Negative Bacterium

Description: A unique undosciribed gramnegative rod is extensively characterized in this study. The cells of this unusual water isolate measure 1.2 X 6.5 microns, The most distinguishing characteristic of the bacterium is a polar tuft of 35-40 flagella that aggregate to function as a single organelle which is visible under phase contrast. Aging cells deposit poly- -hydroxybutyric acid granules which are bound by an inclusion membrane made up of four distinct layers. It also possesses an unusual exterior mem… more
