HERUK Institute of Biophysics, Czechoslovak Academy of Science, Brno Received April 10, 1956 The aim of the present communication is to draw attention to certain features of decisive importance in the primary effect of radiation, which have hitherto been neglected. The processes which start the long chain of reactions leading to the final effect of ionizing radiation, begin with the following basic stages: 1. An elementary process, 2. A primary process, 3. An intermediary reaction, which then leads to the visible reaction by which the action of the radiation is estim- ated. By the elementary process we mean the interaction between the photon or particle on the one hand and the living matter on the other. The elementary process, therefore, corresponds to the excitation and ionization produced by the absorbed photon or particle. This is followed by the primary reaction, which is of a chemical nature, and which either spreads directly, as in the case of the direct action of radiation, or is brought about indirectly by the action of radiation absorbed through an aqueous medium (action of radicals). The intermediary reaction involves the effect of radiation on certain important components of living matter, which play a decisive role in the resultant visible reaction, namely, the specific action of radiation on protein and nucleic acids. 1. The Elementary Process The absorbed photons of hard radiation or swiftly moving particles impart conside- rable momentum to electrons or, in rarer cases, to whole atoms. The energy of photons and particles is in most cases greater than the binding energy of the electrons and a large number of excitations and ionizations therefore occur. Excitation can occur only where the energy of the photon or the particles is less than the ionizing potential of the atom. These states of excitation and ionization are very varied and can finally lead to chemical change. The energy required for extracting an electron from the atom is termed the binding energy and is equal to several eV. This energy depends on the electric charge of the particles concerned and on their distance from one another. The potential energy of particles with one elementary charge and lying 1 A apart equals 15 eV. The minimal energy required for excitation of external electrons is a few eV, whereas the energy required for excitation of internal electrons is considerable and equals the Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 binding energy of the electrons. Chemical bonds develop equal to several eV between the atoms. The forces of cohesion between atoms and molecules in large aggregates and in macromolecules are then weakened still further. The energy required for excitation of the bodily motion of the atom is therefore less than 1 eV. Excitation differs from ionization in that the excited electron possesses excess kinetic energy and does not break loose from the atomic structure; the atom soon changes over to its basic state, during which it either releases electromagnetic radiation in the form of fluorescent radiation, or internal re-grouping occurs within the atom, leading to a photochemical reaction. The excited external electrons change the inter-atomic bonds and thus the arrangement of the atoms within the molecule and thereby this photochemical reaction develops. In this way the action of weak photons of visible and ultra-violet light brings about a change in the chromo- phore groups in biologically important molecules, resulting in a specific photo- chemical reaction. Such chromophore groups are formed by certain biologically important colouring matters (chlorophyll) or by the purine and pyrimidine groups of nucleoproteins, which have a characteristic band at about 2,600 A. These cir- cumstances are important with regard to the action of radiation on protein. The protein molecule is composed of polypeptide chains, linked in a number of places by hydrogen bonds. The binding energy of these bonds is about 0.2 eV. Pauling (v. Franck and Platzmann 1954) is of the opinioti that the simultaneous disruption of these bonds in several places leads to denaturation of proteins. Similar destruction was recently produced by Ephrussi-Taylor and Latarjet (1955), on irradiating the transforming factor of the pneumococcus, which may be considered as nucleic acid. After X-ray irradiation with 33 KV it was seen that the molecule was destroyed by a single "hit". The authors concede that the energy was dissipated, about 50% in ionization and 50% in excitation, one ionization being equal to about 4.5 excitations of 5 eV each. On this basis, specific absorption in the chromophore groups of nucleic acid is inevitable. Owing to the fact that by certain mutations, the quantum yield with a photon of 5 eV is 100-1,000 times smaller than for ionization, these two authors therefore assume that excitation participates in about only 5% of the transmitted energy and that it can be ignored. In my opinion this view is not correct, since the external action of ultra-violet light on biological units cannot be compared as a matter of course with excitation, which develops within the protein molecule simultaneously with ionization. This view is also supported in a communication by Watson (1950) and by my own experiments. Watson succeeded in reactivating phage which had been inactivated by X-ray irradiation. This reactivation was carried out by visible light. It is assumed that bacteriophage can be reactivated because one half of the absorbed energy of the X-rays is dissipated in the form of excitations and the second half in the form of ionizations. A phage inactivated by excitation can be reactivated by visible light. For the photoreactivation of X-ray damage by visible light, the following cir- cumstances must be taken account: On irradiation with a wave-length greater than 0.4 A, the photon is completely transformed into a photoelectron. During the Compton effect (A < 0.4 A), besides ionizations, weak photons develop and a large number of excitations are also evident. It may therefore be expected that in radiation produced by a tension lower than 30 kV, photoreactivation will be very small or non-existent, whereas with radiation at 60 KV, photoreactivation increases. This assumption has been confirmed in experiments, which are now being conducted in our laboratory. Using visible light we succeeded in photoreactivating non-lysogenic bacteria, of Escherichia coli B, which had previously been irradiated by X-rays (56 KV). The, Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 degree of photoreactivation is naturally not so marked as with photore activation of damage caused by irradiation with ultra-violet rays. This is due to the fact that only a small percentage of bacteria are damaged by excitation, since in most cases ionization also participates. Details will be given in a separate report. Similar results in lysogenic bacteria were obtained by Latarjet (1951). In my opinion, excitation, particularly in the case of hard radiation, cannot be ignored. The energy required for excitation of the electrons may not amount to as much as 20 eV (Fano 1954). This energy is always a few eV lower than the binding energy of the electrons. Excitation of the atom can bring about changes in the molecule which, although they may not lead directly to inactivation, may have an effect on late inactivation. Bacq and Alexander (1955) cite the communication of Burton, Magee and Samuel, who take the view that the free radicals H and OH develop only by dissociation of excited water molecules. It is an interesting hypothesis, which assumes the development of two types of excited molecules, of which only one is rich in energy and sufficiently stable for the radicals, developed by dissociation, to have sufficient time to escape. It is again seen, however, that excitations are significant for the biological action of radiation. In addition to the facts already mentioned, there is still the further possibility of a shift of energy from one part of a macromolecule to another. These phenomena of energy migration are known to exist in crystals (Riehl 1940) and were found by Wallenstein (1952), to exist in hydrocarbon molecules also. In the case of large molecules, such as insulin, trypsin or chymotrypsin, Pollard assumes that energy migration comes into play in the difference between molecular weight as determined by direct action and by other methods. From this it is already evident that the processes which take place in macromolecules after absorption of radiation are very complex and that it is not sufficient to interpret them by a simplifying conception such as inactivation of a whole molecule by a single ionization. As far as the action of actual ionization is concerned, these processes are suf- ficiently well known and will be only touched on here. For ionization of an atom there must be a sufficient amount of energy (in the form of absorbed photons or colliding electrons) to overcome the ionizing potential of the atom. Ionizing poten- tials have been exactly determined for only some elements and range within the limits of 3.9 eV for CS and 24.6 eV for He (Franck and Platzmann 1954). Ionization of a molecule, on the other hand, is relatively easier. In this case it is necessary to increase the basic electronic state of the molecule. In stable molecules the ionizing potential is between 10 and 16 eV. As already mentioned, in ionization electrons are released which can again be caught up by positive ions. In this case, however, the process is not one of simple supplementation, but the molecule becomes electrically excited. Dissociation may occur or its oscillation energy may be increased. In this connection Franck and Platzmann draw attention to one feature which very sharply differentiates gaseous ionization from aqueous ionization; freshly formed ions in aqueous solutions are very quickly hydrated, and a considerable amount of heat is freed. All these facts lead to the conclusion, with which we agree that the experi- mentally ascertained "sensitive volume" is not related to some specific part of the molecule, but that it is the average of effective cross-sections for various types of excitation and that this is modified still further by the corresponding probability with which the given biological affect occurs. A similar point of view was recently adopted by Volkova and Pasynsky (1955), who irradiated protein solutions with ultra-violet and X-rays and found that the quantum yield required for the denaturation of seralbumin in an aqueous solution was 7 x 10-4, whereas a 37 % dose of X-rays is 10?r. With these doses of irradiation it was seen that amino nitrogen is more or less stable, so that only 2 - 3 peptide links are broken down in the protein molecule (molecular weight 70,000), corresponding to an intensity of hydrolysis of 0.6%. Denaturation of protein following irradiation cannot therefore be ex- plained by disruption of the peptide chains, but by re-grouping of the intramolecular bonds within the protein molecule. This involves the hydrogen bonds already mentioned above. Pasynsky is of the opinion that from 20 to 40 hydrogen bonds need to be destroyed in order to produce probable denaturation of the protein molecule. He opposes the view, however, that the small probability of such simultaneous destruction of the hydrogen bonds should be based on "hitting" a special centre in the molecule. He points out that it is not correct to speak of an ionizing effect of X-rays in relation to the target theory, since the passage of these photons through the molecule leads to a quantity of excitations of the molecules that could possibly exceed the number of ionized molecules and be sufficient to bring about denaturation of the protein molecules. Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 There is some evidence that on the track of a swiftly-moving particle not only excitations and ionizations are found but also active radicals, which develop as a result of these elementary physical processes. From this it could be concluded that in some cases further intermediary products following irradiation are also distri- buted in column formation in the living matter for a small fraction of a second. 2. Primary Reaction As already stated in the introduction, the elementary physical process gives rise to a primary reaction, which covers the group of phenomena occurring in the irra- diated area. The primary reaction, is caused either by direct action or indirectly by radicals released in an aqueous medium. These theories, which formerly conflicted with each other, are now regarded as being complementary. As far as direct action is concerned, there are two things which should be very carefully differentiated. Statistical fluctuations undoubtedly take place in the incidence of elementary physical processes. This is due to the physical character of the whole process and there can be no doubt that it is actually so. Nor can there be any doubt that "sensitivity" is not evenly distributed in living matter. That was demonstrated many years ago in our own experiments (Hercik 1939) and in those of Petrova (1942). Using alpha radiation of varying strengths it was demonstrated that the nucleus was considerably more sensitive than cytoplasm. It is therefore very probable that discontinuous action occurs in living matter the sensitivity of which is uneven. These facts should, however, be distinguished very carefully from a gener- alisation such as the target hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, a sensitive volume exists in the cell, in which the direct action of one or more ionizations causes a change which leads to its destruction and thus to the death of the cell, or to a profound functional or morphological change. The target theory is incorrect mainly in both these assumptions, which are exclusively of a biological character. As already stated, no objections can be raised to physical facts, but the conception of a single sensitive volume for the whole cell is indubitably incorrect. It cannot be assumed that there are parts of the cell with very low sensitivity and, on the other hand, that it contains only one macromolecule, about 10-e cm. in diameter, which decides on the life of the whole cell.. There is no doubt that various processes parti- cipate in living systems, in which considerable amplification of the original stimulus occurs, but the hypothetical assumption of a sensitive volume in the cell, limited to a certain structure, is too improbable. At the present time, the target theory is being subjected to criticism. Fano (1954) states, for example, that many facts are accumulating which oppose this hypothesis. If the uneveness of biological effect depends only on the chance localisation of the primary processes, then the correlation between the two chance phenomena ought to have a definite geometrical structure, i. e., the trend of the curves expressing the relation to the dose ought to be independent of the factors of the environment. Since this is the case, an auxiliary hypothesis is required, which, according to Fano, detracts from the weight of the original working hypothesis. Houtermans (1953) makes a critical analysis of the target hypothesis and points out that the chief substantiation of this-the "single hit" curve-i., a formal phenomenon, from which all the others are deduced. I once suggested that instead of the single sensitive volume the possibility of sensitive sites in the cell should be taken into account (Her6ik 1946), These sites would change their localisation according to the area where the most sensitive reactions to radiation are taking place. As I see it today, however, this modification of the target theory actually changes its own basis, since it denies the existence of a sensitive. volume. If the various objections to the target theory are taken into account, the only fact which can finally be conceded is that the effective cross-section can be calculated from the relatonship between the biological effect and the radiation dose. The values of the effective average of different types of radiation and different objects have only a formal significance, which in a certain way expresses the scnsitivityof a given object to radiation. They have a true significance only in homogenous systems. Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 This brings us to the question of whether the target theory also remains valid for determining the size of single objects such as macromolecules, viruses, etc. Lea (194$) verified the target theory when irradiating molecules of myosin and ribonuclease and from the decrease in activity determined the inactivation volume and from this the molecular weight. His results were in agreement with the known molecular volume. Since then, many similar experiments have been carried out. Pollard (1955) established a detailed table giving approximately 40 molecular volumes determined by radiation in contrast to other methods. From these tables, it can be seen that considerable differences exist between molecular weights determined by radiation and other methods. It is not possible, therefore, to share Pollard's optimistic view that this technique has promising prospects. It cannot be said that the target and radical hypotheses complement each other in any way. The hypothesis of radicals is based on the assumption that the action of radiation on water leads to the development of the radicals OH, HO2 etc., in the course of the primary reaction, and that these, in the presence of oxygen, are con- verted into H2O2. The presence of these radicals changes according to the structure of the environment. It is assumed that the above-mentioned radicals develop on irradiation of pure water. Their existence with the exception of the radical OH (Dainton 1948), has not yet been determined by a direct method. In general, it may be said that a primary reaction may be seen in the disintegration of water or of other simple molecules by radiation, which automatically follows the process of elementary absorption in matter. Densitity of ionizing radiation, such as alpha particals, produces such a concen- tration of hydroxyl radicals on their track that a molar level is reached (Gray 1955). In such a case the formation of H2O2 is more than usually accelerated. On the other hand, around swiftly moving electrons radicals are formed in concentrations of about 1,000 times smaller and there is therefore a preponderance of the reaction H + OH = H2O, by which the formation of radicals is "stabilized" and peroxide can again be formed. Radicals have hitherto not been reliably demonstrated, since they are very short-lived, with the exception of the radical OH, found by Dainton in 1948, so that in pulsed radiation sources they could be demonstrated by micro- wave spectroscopy, as has already been done in the case of hydrogen atoms in rradiated ice (Gray 1955). It may be seen from the foregoing that oxygen is of great importance for irra- diation. It would be a mistake, however, to evaluate the presence of oxygen only in the light of the hypothesis of radicals. The role of oxygen in respiration and meta- bolism should not be forgotten. In this connection Gray draws attention to the work of Laser, who found that the radiosensitivity of bacteria ceases to be dependent on the concentration of oxygen from the moment their enzyme system is damaged by poison. The part played by oxygen in chromosome breaks is also very complex. The concentration of oxygen not only has an influence on increased radiosensitivity, but also on the restoration processes which develop in the later phase following irradiation (Giles 1954). It is not possible to deal here in detail with one question which is still a subject of discussion, namely whether the final product of the primary biological reaction in the presence of oxygen is hydrogen peroxide, which has been demonstrated in pure water, or whether it is the radicals OH and HO2. It would appear necessary to differ- entiate the final biological effect. Sufficient material has been collected in favour of hydrogen peroxide, most of which concerns indirect evidence. It must, however, be taken into account that hydrogen peroxide is very rapidly broken down by catalase. Finally, I should, like to stress that all these reactions are of very short duration, Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 which leads us to the opinion that what we call the primary reaction must of necessity take place within a fraction of a second. 3. The Intermediary Reaction The primary action is followed by the intermediary reaction, which in a certain sense is the most obscure part of the whole process. We should not fail to take into account the great complexity of the reactions which take place in living matter and to label one of them as the intermediary reaction following irradiation by penetrat- ing rays would not be correct. It would seem more likely that qualitatively different types of reactions take place, depending on the dose of radiation. In other words, a small dose of radiation produces a qualitatively different reaction from a large dose. Until recently, the majority of radiobiological reactions were tested on very rough indi- cators, such as death of the cell, chromosome breaks, a decrease in metabolism, etc. In some cases very large doses are required to produce the desired effect. It is known that in order to kill certain Protozoa, doses of hundreds of thousands of r are needed. On the other hand, however, a dose of only 30 r reduces growth of a root after only a few days. A few hundred r cause destruction of the meristem and the root dies in a few days. If a site only 1 cm. from the root tip is irradiated, a dose of 200,000 r is required to reduce mitosis. This means that during 24 hours the sensitivity of the root is changed by 1,000 times (Gray 1955). This demonstrates how important it is to find the correct relationship between the dose and the sensitivity of the object. I should like to draw attention to some circumstances which have a significance for understanding the intermediary reaction in living systems. Latarjet (1951) found that X-rays can evoke the formation of bacteriophage in lysogenic strains. Recently the development of a lytic factor in a non-lysogenic strain of Escherichia coli was evoked by supersonics (Hradecna) and later also by X-ray irradiation of 60 kV (Hercik). Further details are given in separate reports. It has already been known for some time that ultra-violet light has a similar action (Jacob 1950, Hradecna 1952). In Escherichia coli, ultra-violet radiation gives rise to the formation of colicine (Lwoff 1953), an antibiotic produced by a number of strains of intestinal bacteria. It is also interesting that hydrogen peroxide can evoke the formation of phage in lysogenic bacteria and of colicine in colicinogenic bacteria. The intensity of this phenomenon is influenced by the concentration of oxygen. In summing up it may be said that the action of X-ray radiation or the direct influence of hydrogen peroxide brings about changes in bacteria which lead to the formation of bacteriophage (Lwoff). In this connection it should be pointed out that, according to the latest research, the formation of bacteriophage is due to a deviation in nucleo- protein metabolism. It follows from this that radiation or the action of hydrogen peroxide can also bring about a similar deviation in nucleoprotein metabolism. Yamafugi and Osawa (cit. by Lwoff 1953) achieved the formation of insect viruses by the action of hydrogen peroxide and by the influence of other peroxides, such as tertiolutyl. These peroxides, however, are known to be cancerogenic. We therefore arrive at the conclusion that there is a whole series of physical or chemical factors capable of producing a change in nucleoprotein metabolism, which leads to the development of a substance termed a deviant, which in some cases has the character of a virus and in others of a foreign protein. It must be concluded from the above that quality of the damage caused by ionizing radiation does actually depend on the radiation dose. With a small dose of radiation, there can only be a slight deviation in nucleoprotein metabolism, which may be manifested by a permanent, hereditary change. With larger doses, disintegration Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 _d- Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 of nucleoprotein takes place as a result of de-amination and dephosphorylation. This does not mean, of course, that the reaction between radiation and the organism takes place only on the nucleoprotein substrate. Other substances are also involved. We believe that the nucleoproteins are the central axis, as it were, of all these changes. B a c q, Z. M., A I e x a n d e r, P.: Fundamentals of Radiobiology. London 1955. B a r r o n, E. S.

The Dynamics of the Breaking-down of Lysogenic Cells Irradiated by Ultra-Violet Light Summary Lysis of a lysogenic staphylococcal strain was observed in the phase microscope after irradiation with ultra-violet light. For comparison, the breaking-down of the sensitive staphylococcal strain S 3 was observed, following the action of bacterio- phage released by the lysogenic strain LS 2. It is evident from the series of micro- photographs that the course of bacterial lysis is similar in both cases. The bacterial cells irradiated by ultra-violet light do not divide before being broken down, but always considerably increase in size. The lytic processes which were observed in the lysogenic culture following irradiation with ultra-violet light have a slower course than following the infection of sensitive cells with bacteriophage.

KARPFEL Institute of Biophysics, Czechoslovak Academy of Science, Brno . After initial leucocytosis in the reaction of the blood to ionizing irradiation has receded, leucopenia develops as a result of the cytostatic action of the X-rays on the tissues of the organism. As a result of regeneration processes, the leucocyte level, after a certain period, returns to normal, the time required for this showing a rela- tionship to the dose used and the manner of administration, to the functional condition and individual resistance of the blood-forming organs, alongside other factors which form a concrete potential for the general capacity to control the consequences of irradiation sickness. As far as the initial increase in leucocytes is concerned, most radiohaematologists are agreed that its occurrence is a characteristic feature after the administration of high doses of ionizing radiation. On the further course of the post-irradiation leuco- cyte curve there are altogether three opinions, which are based on experimental results. One group of authors describes the regeneration phase following a sudden or gradual maximal decrease, as being more or less irregular, with frequent fluctuations and a gradual increase in the white blood components in the surviving animals (Yegorov 1955). The second group described another phase, within this one-an abortive rise in the leucocytes- which appears between the second and eleventh day after irradiation (Jacobson et al. 1949-in experi - mental animals) or even later (Hempelmann et al. 1952-in human subjects affected by ionizing rays). Only a few communications mention that the post-irradiation course of the reaction of the blood is characterised by a periodic, wave-like form. The first to describe this wave-like characteristic were Langendorff and Paperitz (1939), on the basis of their observations on the bone marrow and peripheral blood of irradiated mice. In their series, the minimum and maximum values in the curves are reached after about 40 days. The rhythm they describe is thus of relatively long duration. Regeneration waves in haemopoietic tissue were also observed by Bloom and Murray and by Jacobson and Block. Derer (1953) observed periodic decreases in leucocytes following X-irradiation of leukaemic patients, with an interval of approximately six days. A periodic leucocyte reaction was also described by Uher (1952) in his communication on the time factor in regulation of the blood and by Thalhammer and Janicek (1951) in their experiments with vitamin D. The aim of our experiments was to verify the periodic response of the white blo od component following irradiation with X-rays and to ascertain the relationship b e- tween this response and the dose used and fractionation of the dose and, finally, t o study the development of the reaction after irradiation of experimental animals during narcosis (these latter experiments were carried out by Dr Praslioka). The experimental animals were rabbits, Vienna breed, blue-eyed, weighing from 2,000-3,000 g. Blood was collected from the ear vein daily, at the same time. The blood picture was studied for two months after irradiation. All the animals were subjected to total irradiation with a Super-Sanax lamp Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 at 180 kV, 15 mA, F = 50 cm., filter 1 mm. Al, 0.5 mm. Cu with a feed of 33 r/min. The single doses were as follows: 200 r (6 animals), 350 r (8) and 800 r (11); on fractionation a total dose of 1100 r was divided into 11 daily doses of 100 r (10 animals), while the narcotized experimental animals were irra- diated with a single dose of 350 r (4 animals). The narcotic used was ether, in a concentration which guaranteed deep narcosis during irradiation; narcosis was also maintained for a further 60 minutes after the lamp had been switched off. In every group of experimental animals the blood picture of three control animals was also studied; the initial values before irradiation were determined from eight specimens. In our case, the curve showing the leucocyte response to the action of ionizing radiation results mainly from two antagonistic processes. On the one hand there is the protracted destructive action of radiation on blood formation, and on the other manifestations of regeneration. The third possible factor, i. e. changes in the distribution of blood, does not participate to any appreciable extent in the prolonged study of changes in the blood, particularly with the method of total irradiation used by us. In studying blood changes we ascertained when the fluctuations in the number of leucocytes took place in the time curve, both from the positive and the negative aspect. The following findings were made: The incidence of the initial rise in the number of leucocytes, due to an increase in the number of heterophils, shows a relationship to the dose used. It occurs mainly on using higher doses. In our series this first positive deflection was not recorded after 24 hours on using a dose of 200 r. It was, however, recorded in two cases (out of eight) with a dose of 350 r. and in eight cases (out of eleven) with a dose of 800 r. On fractionation of the dose the deflection was not found and in irradiation of narcotized animals with a dose of 350 r, it occurred once (out of four cases). The peak of the first negative phase is related to the indivi- duality of the reaction of the various animals and occurs between the second and fifth day. The maximal decrease occurs most frequently on the third day (50%) or on the fourth day (20%). The incidence of the subsequent positive phase varies still more in the individual animals, its peak being reached between the second and the twelfth day. It occurs most frequently between the fourth and the sixth day (70%). The peak of the following descending phase occurs between the fifth and the 15th day, most frequently between the seventh and the eight day (50%) and then from the sixth to the 12 day (15%). A later incidence of this descending phase is not related to the time incidence of the minimum in the previous wave, but follows retarded commencement of the preceding ascending phase. A further increase again occurs in the number of leucocytes, which reaches its peak, according to the indi- vidual cases, between the eighth and the 16th day. With a dose of 200 r, no further deflections occur. Processes of regeneration evidently predominate over destructive processes and the white blood picture tends to regain its normal level. With higher doses (in our case 350 and 800 r) and with fractionation, further deflections often occur. It is not possible to speak of any regularity, of a chronologically identical, periodic incidence of limit values in the number of leucocytes, either maximal or minimal. The incidence of alternating maximal and minimal values and their time curve tend rather to give a picture of an irregular sinusoid, in which the length of the individual waves varies more or less from case to case with the individual animals. On the basis of our experiments it is impossible to say whether, and how far, the length of these waves depends on the size of the dose of ionizing radiation. With a dose of 200 r it appears to be shorter, since the average length of the interval between the negative deflections is three days and between the positive deflections 4.3 days. With the other methods of irradiation the average length of the intervals was as Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 follows: with 350 r, six days between the minima and 7.1 between the maxima; with 800 r, six days between the minima (figures were not obtained for the maxima, since the intervals varied markedly). With fractionated irradiation the average length of the intervals between the minima was 5.4 days and between the maxima 5.3 days. As far as the absolute values of the decreases are concerned, it was observed that the maximal decrease occurred with doses of 200 r and 350 r in the first negative phase, i. e. between the second and fifth day. Following irradiation with a dose of 800 r, the lowest negative amplitude was mostly found in one of the following negative phases and in fractionation of radiation this was always the case. The results of irradiation in narcosis did not differ basically from the results with a single administration of the corresponding radiation dose without narcosis. The incidence of the initial rise in the number of heterophils is in agreement with the data of Jacobson et al., who state that a significant increase takes place in the heterophils in the peripheral blood of rabbits after doses of 400 r and more. This does not mean that this increase, which often results in a rise in the absolute number of leucocytes, could not also be manifested in the case of somewhat lower doses (in our case 350 r), as a result of the different individual reactivity of the experimental animals. With a dose of 800 r, an increase in the number of heterophils was found in all cases. As already stated in the results, in eight cases this led to an increase in the absolute number of leucocytes. In the remaining three cases, the initial decrease in the number of lymphocytes was so sharp and occurred so soon that the increased number of heterophils was unable to equalize the loss in absolute numbers. This is a frequent result in those types of organisms in which the percentual representation of the main white blood components (heterophils and lymphocytes) is mainly in favour of the latter and contrasts with the results in affected human subjects"' (Hempelmann), in whom, especially after high doses, the phase of initial leucycytosis may be prolonged to as much as seven days. According to Yegorov, the duration of this phase depends both on the dose and also on the type of nervous system of the organism, which is responsible for the individual reaction of the blood-forming tissue. In the initial changes in the number of leucocytes, an important part is doubtless played by the pituitary-suprarenal system. This factor does not, however, serve to explain the further course of irradiation sickness. The question of the further trend of the leucocyte curve is a complicated one. The increase in the number of leucocytes described between the second and the twelfth day, which follows a negative phase, is identical with what Jacobson et al. and Hempelmann et al. call the "abortive rise". Bloom and Jacobson associate the etiology of this rise with the incidence of degenerate, temporary forms, which develop in the bone marrow, chiefly in the elements of the myeloid series, and are flooded out into the periphery. Hempelmann tends to take the view that the initial and abortive increases are a secondary, non-specific reaction to damage to the tissue. This reaction appears, for example, after burns, in which the "abortive increase" can be attributed to associated infection. It is certain that the factors of both these hypotheses can be manifested, but it is problematic whether degenerate blood ele- ments appear in such large numbers in the corresponding period; on the other hand, an associated infection is not present in all cases in irradiated animals. Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80TOO246AO02900500012-2 Langendorff and Paperitz, who described long duration of the periodic character of post-irrradiation leucocyte reaction, analyse the morphology of changes in the bone marrow and peripheral blood and come to the conclusion that every type of blood element is characterised by a special wave-like curve of its own. According to them, the effective factor is the length of the life of the individual elements. They evaluate their results at intervals of four days and that is why their rhythm has a prolonged character. Derer holds the view that the persistent action of cytostatic substances is a result of irritation of the functional centres for blood regulation by tissue changes, which in addition reflexly produce synchronisation of the rhythm by means of which the central nervous system governs the formation and destruction of the blood elements. The exact periodic reaction described after cytostatic action in an organism in which the state of the blood formation is not normal, cannot be verified in normal organisms. Even if one takes the view that the nervous system is largely responsible for the wave-like character of the post-irradiation leucocyte reaction, it cannot easily be conceived that impulses proceeding in a regular rhythm from the central nervous system and possibly caused by a functional modification of the process of internal inhibition due to radiation, should produce absolute regularity of the decreases in the leucocytes in the peripheral blood in circumstances as complex as those which develop following irradiation of the whole organism. This regularity is no doubt disturbed particularly by the positive deflections in the leuco- cyte curve, which are caused by adaptation phenomena in the organism, associated infection and other factors, and also by the short life of several generations of leuco- cytes following irradiation. Summary Following irradiation of rabbits with a single dose of 200, 350 and 800 r, and also with fractionated irradiation with 1100 r in 11 daily doses of 100 r, alternating positive and negative deflections occur in the leucocyte curve, which on a graph take the form of an irregular sinusoid, in which the individual wave lengths range within considerable limits, according to the individual reactivity of the various animals. The length of the intervals between the maximal and minimum values in the trend of the leucocyte curve varies within an average period of four days with a dose of 200 r and within an average period of about six days with a dose of 350 and 800 r and fractionated radiation of 11 X 100 r.

VINTER Institute of Biology, Czechoslovak Academy of Science, Department of Microbiology, Praha The transition of the vegetative cells of bacilli into the resting form, spores, is accompanied by a series of biochemical changes, an analysis of which throws light on the deeper physiological laws of this process. One of these changes is a sharp decrease in the proteolytic activity of medium, which takes place under certain conditions on sporulation of Bac. megatherium. In the present work a study is made of the influence of calcium and other ions on this process and on the transition of the calcium from the medium into the sporulat- ing cells. An investigation was made also of the effect of adding cysteine to the cul- ture, before sporulation, on the decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium. Culture: A strain of Bacillus megatherium from the collections of the Institute of Biology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Science was used. Nutrient medium: Composition - 0.3% casein hydrolysate (Amigen), 0.1% glucose and 0.34% KH2PO4. One mililitre of a concentrated mixture of certain salts and important ions was added to the medium, composed as follows: 17.4 g. K2S041 12.3 g. MgSO4 . 7 H2O, 0.22 g. MnSO4 . 7 H2O, 2.0 g. FeSO4 . 7 H2O, 1.44 g. ZnSO4 . 7 H2O, 18.3 g. CaCI, . 6 H2O to one litre. The proportion of these salts is similar to that originally suggested by Grelet (1951). Two media were used for culturing- medium A, in which the precipitate of calcium sulphate and phosphate was filtered off, and medium B, which was the same as medium A, but enriched by the addition of calcium (10 ml. 5. 10-3 M CaCl2 per litre medium). The pH of the medium was adjusted to 7.2. Method of inoculation and culturing: The nutrient medium was inoculated with 3 ml. of a suspension of spores freed after autolysis of the sporangia. The suspension was stored at 5? C. From 90 to 100 ml. medium was cultured in 500 ml. flasks, on a shaker (96 deflections/min., length of swing 9.8 cm.) at 2 7 ? C. The percentage of spores was determined by direct microscopic observation and counting (Vinter 1955). Determination of degree of turbidity: The degree of turbidity of the culture was determined in the undiluted solution on a Lumetron colorimeter with a filter of 370 mg. Clear supernatant fluid was used as the control. Determination of the proteolytic activity of the medium: The supernatant fluid was incubated with a 1% solution of casein with a pH of 7.0 in a water bath at 37? C. Unless otherwise stated, the length of incubation was 60 minutes. Two methods were used for determining the intensity of proteolysis-the Anson method (1938), in the modification of Chaloupka (1955) and a modified biuret test (Slavik and Smetana 1953). In the case of the first method, the intensity of proteolysis was expressed in amounts of milliequivalents of freed tyrosine, in the case of the second method in amounts of milligrams of digested casein. Staining of the spores: The spores were stained with malachite green and the cells counterstained with basic fuchsin (Schmidt 1950).

The actual determination was carried out using a flame photo- meter (VEB Carl Zeiss, Jena, model III). Decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium during sporulation of B. megatherium Both on media A and B there ;s a rapid decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium on sporulation to very low values (fig 1). The curve of the decrease is steepest at the period of mass formation of the spores (fig. 2). The course of the decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium differs in the culture and in the supernatant fluid, whether shaking is continued or whether the medium is left at rest. The following procedure was used: two thirds of the contents were removed from the culturing flasks under sterile conditions; they were centri- fuged and the remaining third was left in the flask on the shaker. Half the supernatant fluid was placed in a sterile flask of the same size and put on the shaker, while the other half was left at rest at a temperature of 270 C. Proteolytic activity was deter- mined in all three parallel specimens, immediately and after three hours. Sporulation was confirmed by calculating the percentage of spores in the culture on collection (tab. 1). In a culture in which sporulation had not yet commenced (12 to 121/2 hours culturing), proteolytic activity decreased in the culture after three hours to very low values, as usual; in the supernatant fluid on the shaker it decreased only slightly or even showed an increase, and in the supernatant fluid at rest it showed an evident increase. In the specimen taken at the commencement of sporulation (up to 10% spores), there was a normal decrease in the culture and usually a slight decrease in the supernatant fluid, whether on the shaker or at rest.

The supernatant fluid from a culture 6.5 to 9 hours old, in which it had been demonstrated that proteolytic activity would not change for three hours at rest at a temperature of 270 C, was diluted with supernatant fluid taken in the course of sporulation. Both supernatant fluids were diluted with the same volume of water and the sum of the proteolytic activity of these specimens was compared with the activity of a mixture of the same volumes of both superna- tant fluids. The culture fluid was collected in the course of sporulation at the moment when proteolytic activity was very low. If an inhibitor were present in this super- natant fluid in an effective form, then the reaction between this inhibitor and the active enzyme would result in a decrease in the activity of the mixture. In actual fact, no decrease in activity occurred; on the contrary, there was usually a slight increase, which was equalized after three hours' interaction at 270 C (tab. 2). Effect of the addition of certain ions on the decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium. All the ions named below were added after 12 hours' culturing, i. e. about 1-2 hours before sporulation commenced. Culturing was carried out on an A medium. The addition of calcium ions in a concentration of 5. 10-3M, which proved the optimal concentration for stability of proteases of actinomybes (Chaloupka 1955) prevents a decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium, while the course of sporulation remains normal. The calcium was added in the form of a solution of CaC12. A ten times smaller concentration of Ca-- ions, 5.10-4M, also prevents a decrease (fig. 3). A lower concentration of calcium in the medium (5. 10-5M) only delays the commencement of the decrease in proteolytic activity, while a concentration of 5. 10-6M has no influence on it (tab. 3).

The addition of Mn-- ions, which, according to the data in the literature, are necessary in the presporulation period in Bac. subtilis (Weinberg 1955) and, according to other data, activate proteases of Bac. megatherium (Levinson and Sevag 1954), had no influence, with media of our composition, either on proteolytic activity or on sporulation.

The supernatant fluid was collected in the period of advanced sporulation and was divided between two flasks. Calcium was added to one of these in a concentration of 5.10-4M and the same amount of distilled water to the other; both flasks were then shaken at 290 C. In the flask to which calcium had been added, the decrease which took place in the proteolytic activity of the supernatant fluid during shaking was considerably less than in the flask containing no calcium (fig 4). The calcium therefore clearly increased the stability of the proteases in the supernatant fluid against shaking. The addition of Ca" ions to the specimens of supernatant fluid collected in the course so of sporulation does not lead to an increase in proteolytic activity as compared with the controls with H2O.

Uptake of calcium from the medium into the sporulating cells The calcium content of the cells before and after sporulation was determined by means of spectrochemical analysis. On the A medium, the calcium content of the cells increased during sporulation from 0.011% to 0.041%. The addition of 2 mg. calcium per 1 litre medium (B medium) resulted in a considerable increase in the differences in the calcium content before and after sporulation, but was not sufficient to maintain stability of the proteolytic enzymes in the medium during sporulation. The association between the decrease in proteolytic activity and exhaustion of the calcium from the medium was thus maintained. Spectrochemical analysis showed that between the 12th and 15th hour of cultur- ing, i. e. in the period when the spores are being formed, a considerable increase took place in the calcium content of the cells (fig. 5). The spores formed in the cells at Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 this period have all the appearance of spores, but they are still immature and do not yet possess the property of retaining a stain on decoloration. This property is ac- quired only after further hours of culturing. When calcium was added before sporulation in considerably higher concentrations, no increase occurred in the calcium content of the cells which completed sporulation, with concentrations higher than 5.10-4M (fig. 6).

Influence of the addition of cysteine to the culture before sporulation on the proteo- lytic activity of the medium and on sporulation After 12 hours' culturing, 10 ml. 0.01 M 1-cysteine solution (pH 7.0) were added to flasks containing 90 ml. A medium, so that the final concentration of the cysteine in the culture was 0.001 M. Proteolytic activity was determined immediately after mixing and further after two and four hours' shaking. In the control flasks, 10 ml. distilled water was added and the determination carried out in the same way as for the actual specimens. In the intervals, the state of the cells in the culture was also controlled microscopically. Whereas in the control flasks, to which water had been Table 4.

Similar results were obtained adding cysteine in a 10 times weaker solution, when the final concentration in the medium after mixing was 0.0001 M (fig. 7). The only difference was that during the first two hours about 2% roundish, less shiny spores were formed. By the end of the fourth hour they had not increased in number. Fig. 7.

We also influenced the supernatant fluid from cultures of varying ages by 1-cysteine solution. Tab. 5 shows the values of proteolytic activity of super- natant fluids from 7, 13 and 14.5-hour- old cultures, immediately after adding water or a solution of cysteine in varying concentrations. The table shows that in a supernatant fluid taken during vegetative growth of the culture, cy- steine brought about only a slight decrease in activity; in a supernatant fluid taken after a decrease in proteo- lytic activity, the values remained too low for accurate estimation. Cysteine was also added to supernatant fluid taken in the course of sporulation and its influence determined after further shaking. The whole supernatant fluid was equally divided between two 500 ml. flasks, to one of which cysteine was added and to the other distilled water. Proteolytic activity was determined immediately and after a certain period of shaking. The supernatant fluids were diluted so that the final concentration of the cysteine was 1.10-4M (tab. 6). The results show that the decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium during shaking is almost the same in the mixture containing the cysteine and in the control containing water and that in this case the cysteine exerted no "protective influence".

The present work aimed at ascertaining whether, in Bac. megatherium, certain ions necessary for the stability or activity of proteolytic enzymes were not exhausted from the medium before or during sporulation. The results of the experiments show that in the presence of a small amount of calcium in the medium an association is displayed between sporulation and the state of the proteolytic enzymes in the medium. If the concentration of calcium in the nutrient medium is higher than that required by the sporulating cells, this association is not seen. The question arises as to whether the small calcium content in the A and B medium used by us was not the cause of the lability of the proteolytic enzymes throughout the whole period of culturing and not only during sporulation and whether the decrease in proteolytic activity during sporulation was not only the result of the termination of the production of proteases. In that case the high proteolytic activity in the culture before sporulation would have been due only to the continuous renewal of the level of the enzyme in the medium, in replacement of the denatured molecules of the enzyme. This possibility is suppressed by the following findings : 1) Sensitivity of the proteases to shaking is not noticeably increased until during the actual sporulation process. 2) The decrease in proteolytic activity is far more rapid in the presence of sporu- lating cells than in the shaken supernatant fluid. 3) The considerable increase in calcium in the cells during sporulation on the B medium is evidence that up to the time of sporulation, this amount of calcium was "available" for the stability of the proteolytic enzymes in the medium. 4) The interruption of the sporulation or presporulation mechanism by cysteine results in high proteolytic activity being maintained in the medium, even the A me- dium. It is also known from the literature that the spores of bacilli contain more calcium than vegetative cells and the ability to accumulate calcium is mentioned in asso- ciation with the thermoresistance of spores which have developed (Curran, Brun- Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 stetter and Myers 1943, Sugiyama 1951, Grelet 1950, 1952, Powell 1953, Tinelli 1955a, 1955b). Our work shows that the uptake of calcium occurs during formation of the spores and that this exhaustion of calcium may lead to significant changes in the medium. From the data in the literature it is also known that a number of proteases require the SH group for functioning. The results of our experiments show that in this case the cysteine does not act on the proteases but on the actual sporulation process. Summary 1) In the course of the sporulation of Bacillus megatherium a sharp decrease can take place in the proteolytic activity of the medium to negligible values. 2) The decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium on sporulation is not due to the production of an inhibitor by the cells into the culture medium. 3) In a medium deficient in calcium, an increase occurs during sporulation in the sensitivity of the proteolytic enzymes in the medium to shaking. 4) The proteolytic enzymes produced during vegetative growth and after it has ended, require calcium to maintain their stability. A decrease in proteolytic activity in a calcium-deficient medium can be prevented by the addition of an excess of Ca" ions to the culture before sporulation. 5) Spectrochemical analysis showed that after the formation of young spores, the cells of Bac. megatherium contained several times more calcium than the vegetative cells before the commencement of sporulation. 6) A decrease in proteolytic activity takes place during sporulation of Bac. megatheiium in a nutrient medium which does not contain more calcium than is required by the cells for the formation of the spores. 7. The addition of cysteine to the culture before sporulation (concentration 1.10-4M) destroys the ability of the cells to form spores and prevents a decrease in the proteolytic activity of the medium. 8. A concentration of cysteine of 1.10-;M does not prevent a decrease in the proteolytic activity of supernatant fluid taken in the period of advanced sporulation and shaken on a shaker at 27~ C. Nor does cysteine increase the proteolytic activity of the supernatant fluid at rest. A n s o n, M. L.: Estimation of Pepsin, Trypsin, Papain and Cathepsin with Haemoglobin. J. Gen.

BURGER and K. BERAN Institute of Biology, Czechoslovak Academy of Science, Department of Microbiology, Praha If a fluid culture or extract of a culture of Aspergillus niger is incubated with maltose, certain oligosaccharides are formed in addition to the hydrolysis of maltose (Pan, Andreasen and Kolachov 1950, 1951). The containing of a 1.6-glucopyranose bond is characteristic for these substances (panose, isomaltose). In addition, there are usually also traces of maltotriose (Burger and Beran 1956, a ,b). There are still too few facts available to be able to say by what mechanism these products develop. The solution of this problem is important for several basic questions connected with the interaction of the substrate with the enzyme in the hydrolysis of poly- and oligosaccharides. It is now known that the formation of these oligosaccharides takes place through transglucosidation, i. e. by transferring the glucose residue from maltose or starch to the corresponding acceptor (maltose, glucose etc.) (Pan, Nicholson and Kolachov 1952). It is interesting that in the experiments of Pan et al., the series of oligo- saccharides, apart from maltose, did not act as substrate for the formation of iso- maltose or the higher oligosaccharides with a 1.6-glucopyranose bond (Pan, Nichol- son, Kolachov 1952). The aim of the present work was to ascertain whether reducing oligosaccharides with a 1.6-glucopyranose link are formed from certain substances after incubation of short and long duration with a preparation of Aspergillus niger. Enzymatic preparations used. An enzymatic preparation from a culture of the fungus Asperg:llus niger was used for the experiments. The preparation of the cultures on bran and the extraction of the enzymes from these cultures has already been described in a previous communication (Burger and Beran 1956a). The characteristic property of this preparation is that it has a high maltose activity. Working method. Incubation of the individual substrates by the enzymatic preparation was carried out for 75 minutes and 18 hours at 30? C. The total volume of the incubated mixture was 1 ml. and con- tained 3% enzyme solution, an acetate buffer in a final concentration of 6.5. 10-2 M and with a pH of 4.5 and in some cases glucose in a final concentration of 0.3%. The glucose was added to the substrate as a possible acceptor. In order to prevent growth taking place during incubation, a few drops of toluene were added to the mixture. Enzymatic activity was arrested by placir g the test-tube in a bath of boiling water for five minutes. Of the specimens, 20 pl. was dripped on to What man 1 chromatographic paper. Analytical Methods. The incubation products were ascertained by the chromatographic method of Greene and Stone (Green and Stone 1952) with our own modification (Burger and Beran). A sample of maltose from incubation with an enzymatic preparation of A. niger was taken as standard. The com- position of the sugars of the sample is known (Burger and Beran 1956 b). Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246A002900500012-2 Action of the Enzymatic Preparation on Various Oligosaccharides Fig. 1. gives a chromatographic analysis of the products produced after 75 min- utes' incubation of the enzymatic preparation with maltose, saccharose, lactose, raffinose and cellobiose. During this period hydrolysis of these substrates took place to varying degrees. In the case of raffinose, it could be seen that the breaking-down of fructose takes place with greater intensity than hydrolysis of melibiose. A spot of raffinose and saccharose appeared on the paper obviously after hydrolysis of these sugars, during development of the chromatogram. In the case of maltose, the form- ation of panose and isomaltose is evident, in the case of cellobiose the formation of isomaltose could be seen and also of another product, which was situated on the paper between maltotriose and panose. In the case of the other oligosaccharides no reducing sugar was produced. Since, with the method used for developing the chro- matogram, lactose is situated in the same place as isomaltose, it can be stated that this oligosaccharide does not form higher reducing oligosaccharides. Fig. 2 shows the situation after 18 hours' incubation. Maltose and cellobiose were by now virtually completely hydrolysed. Panose and an unidentified oligosaccharide which developed from cellobiose had also been broken down and only isomaltose remained. Not even after this period did raffinose (or melibiose), lactose and saccha- rose produce reducing oligosaccharides with a 1.6-glucopyranose link similar to those which developed from maltose. The chromatogram further shows that from maltose and cellobiose traces of oligo- saccharides developed, which were situated on the paper between maltose (or cello- biose) and isomaltose. These are probably oligosaccharides with a bond other than 1.4- or 1.6-glucopyranose and they still remain to be identified. As far as raffinose, lactose and saccharose are concerned, our findings confirm those of Pan et al. (Pan, Nicholson and Kolachov 1952), who also found no reducing oligosaccharides after incubation of a fluid culture of A. niger with the sugars named above. As regards cellobiose, our findings are at variance with those of the authors mentioned, who found no oligosaccharides after the incubation of cellobiose with a fluid culture of A. niger (Pan, Nicholson and Kolachov 1952). Fig. 3 gives results following the incubation of trehalose (x-D-glucopyranosyl-, u-D-glucopyranose) with an enzymatic preparation of A. niger. With this oligosaccharide also there was no formation of a new product apart from glucose. As is seen from the illustration, trehalose gives a spot between maltose and isomaltose. As a non-reducing oligosaccharide it completely reduced silver following preliminary hydrolysis on paper during development of the chromatogram. Fig. 3 shows that even after 18 hours trehalose was hydrolysed only to a small degree. The traces of fructose and pentoses on the chromatogram are from the enzymatic preparation. . Action of the Enzymatic Preparation on Some Heterosaccharides Further experiments dealt with the action of an enzymatic preparation of A. niger on methyl-x-D-glucose, methyl-x-D-mannose and glucose-l-phosphate. The results are given in figs. 4 and 5. As shown in fig. 4, the results are similar to those in the previous experiments. Hydrolysis of methyl-glucose occurred within 18 hours, but even after this period oligosaccharides were not formed. Fig. 4 also shows that only traces of methyl- mannose were hydrolysed.

Similar results were also obtained on the incubation of glucose-l-phosphate with an enzymatic preparation (Fig. 5). Not even after 18 hours was any new product formed, apart from glucose. Even hydrolysis of glucose-l-phosphate was not complete under our experimental conditions. Action of the Enzymatic Preparation on Glucose In the previous experiments a study was made of the transfer of the glucose radical from holo- or heterosides to a carbohydrate acceptor. Further experiments aimed at ascertaining whether direct synthesis of the oligo- saccharides mentioned above takes place. Since it was assumed that possible synthesis would take place as a reversal of the hydrolytic process, the experimental condi- tions were adapted in such a way that the synthetic reaction could take place as far as possible. For this purpose the active concentration of water was reduced by adding an excess amount of glucose or by adding glycerin to the mixture. The final con- centration of glucose was 5, 10, 30, 40, 50 and 60%. The glucose was therefore both Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 substrate and acceptor ir. the mixture and, in excess concentrations, it also absorbed water from the mixture. Otherwise the conditions of incubation were the same as in the previous experiments. The results after 18 hours are given in fig. 6 and 7. a b C S2 d e Fig. 5.

Fig. 6 shows that under our experimental conditions, synthesis of two oligo- saccharides from glucose occurred, viz. maltose and isomaltose. It should be noted that whereas maltose was formed only in the presence of higher concentrations of glucose (from 30%), isomaltose was already formed when only 5 and 10% glucose was present in the mixture. After 150 minutes' incubation, the chromatogram presented a similar picture to that after 18 hours, the only difference being that the amount of products formed was smaller. Fig. 7 shows, in addition to the incubated mixtures, control glucose solutions in the same concentrations as in the mixture. Fig. 7 therefore shows that the oligo- saccharides which developed were formed by enzymatic synthesis and were not present in the specimens of glucose in the form of impurities. In the previous work a number of facts were given, demonstrating that the forma- tion of isomaltose and panose on the incubation of maltose with an enzymatic pre- paration of A. niger, is not the result of the activity of a special transglucosidase, but that the development of the oligosaccharides named from maltose is due to the catalytic action of maltase (Burger and Beran 1954, 1956b). It is known, however, that maltase also hydrolyses a number of substrates, in which the formation of oligo- Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80TOO246AO02900500012-2 saccharides was not found (Summer and Myrback 1950) (e. g. methylglucose and trehalose). The question arises as to why the formation of the oligosaccharides men- tioned did not take place with these substrates under our experimental conditions. It is known, and was also clearly demonstrated on our chromatograms, that these substrates are hydrolysed by maltase much more slowly than maltose. It follows therefore that the affinity of maltase for trehalose and methyl glucose is much less than its affinity for maltose. It is probable that the same will apply if a com- parison is made of the affinity of maltase for the substrates concerned and of its affinity for water. The transglucosidation products catalysed by maltase can develop, however, only if an acceptor with a sufficiently greater affinity for maltase than water is present in the system. It is clear that trehalose and methylglucose do not possess this affinity. Nor could glucose be the acceptor in these experiments, since there was a low concentration of glucose in the solution. The formation of isomaltose and cellobiose is interesting, since from these facts it can be assumed that in this case isomaltose is formed by a similar, or identical mechanism, as from maltose. No further experiments are, however, available for confirming this assumption. As far as saccharose is concerned, it is evident that hydrolysis took place by means of invertase (19-fructosidase) and that development of the reducing oligosaccharides which develop on the hydrolysis of maltose was therefore not possible (Bealing and Bacon 1953). It must be emphasized that the method employed by us (4-fold development of the chromatogram) does not reveal oligosaccharides with more than four or five glucose fractions in the molecule. The formation of higher saccharides in our experi- ments is therefore not excluded. The experiments in which varying amounts of glucose were incubated demonstrated that the enzymatic preparations studied by us are capable of resynthesizing isomal- tose from glucose, and that if the concentration of water is reduced to a sufficient limit, resynthesis of maltose also occurs. The formation of isomaltose from maltose did not take place as a secondary process, as is demonstrated by the fact that with a lower concentration of glucose (from 5 %), only isomaltose was formed and no maltose. It follows, therefore, that an enzymatic preparation of A. niger catalyses the synthesis of isomaltose not only by the route of transglucosidation: maltose + glucose ? isomaltose + glucose, but also on the basis of the following equation: glucose + glucose ? isomaltose. The calculations show that these reactions are thermodanymically possible, if it is borne in mind that the isomaltose or maltose were formed in amounts over 1,000 times less than the concentration of glucose.

ROZSYPAL and F. MRAZ Biologisches Institut der Tschsl. Akademie der Wissenschaften, parasitologische Abt., Praha and Institut fur Getreideforschung, phytopathologische Abt., Kromeii'c Der Olmohn (Papaver somni f erum L.) gehort unter unseren Zuchtungsbedingungen zu den landwirtschaftlichen Produkten mit sehr schwankenden Ernteertragen, deren Hohe unter anderem vom Gesundheitszustand der Pflanzen, also von der Summe verschiedener Krankheits- and Schadlingseinflusse abhangt. Bei Untersuchungen von Zuchtkulturen des Mohns (1953) erweckte unser Interesse das Aufreten and die Verbreitung zweier unterschiedlicher Bakteriosen, deren Merkmale uns zwar bereits aus fruheren Jahren bekannt waren, bisher aber nicht gebuhrend betrachtet wurden. In der Praxis wurden diese Bakteriosen meistens ubersehen and die Erkrankung der Pflanzen anderen Ursachen zugeschrieben. Wir sahen uns daher zu ihrem eingehenden Studium veranlasst. Nach ihren typischen Erscheinungsformen bezeichnen wir diese Erkrankungen im weiteren als "Blattfleckenbakteriose des Mohns" and als ,Stengelbakteriose des Mohns". Die Blatt fleckenbakteriose des Mohns Die in der Literatur angefuhrten Blattbakteriosen betreffen vorwiegend wild- wachsende Mohnarten and ihre Varietaten, die in den USA and in England als Zierpflanzen gezuchtet werden (Clinton 1909, Bryan and Mc Whorter 1930, Dowson 1949, Nance 1951). Der Krankheitserreger wurde von Bryan and Mc Whorter als Bacterium papavericola n. sp. beschrieben and nach der spateren Taxonomie als Xanthomonas papavericola eingeordnet. Die Blattfleckenbakteriose kommt nach Berichten auch beim Olmohn in der UdSSR vor (Beloselskaja and Silvestrov, 1953, Gorlenko 1953). Die Pflanzen werden hauptsachlich in den Sommermonaten befallen, also zu einer Zeit, in der unter dem Einfluss abwechselnder Regenfalle and starkerer Besonnung im Boden and in den Kulturen ein dunstiges Mikroklima herrscht. Der Mikro- organismus gelangt zunachst aus dem Boden durch abprallende Regenspritzer oder vom Wind angewehte Teilchen der Ackerkrume auf die untersten Blatter. Die weitere Verbreitung erfolgt durch gegenseitige Beruhrung der Pflanzen, durch Regenspritzer oder auch durch Insekten. Die feuchten Blattflachen ermoglichen das Vordringen des Mikroorganismus durch die Spaltoffnungen in das Gewebe. An der Infektionsstelle entstehen zunachst helle, wasserige, sich vergrossernde Flecke, die, von der Nervatur begrenzt, eine unregelmassig eckige Form einhalten. Spater nehmen sie eine gelbliche Farbung an, trocknen ein and bleiben, zum Unterschied von Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 den sehr ahnlichen, durch Helminthosporiose hervorgerufenen Flecken, transpa rent. Die schiitter verstreuten Flecke sind gewohnlich grosser (5-10 mm), rundli- cher and lassen manchmal eine Zonenbildung erkennen. Bei dichtem Besatz gehen sie ineinander fiber and das Blatt vertrocknet schnell. Eine Verbreitung durch die Gefassbundel auf grossere Entfernung wurde nicht beobachtet. Unter giinstigen Bedingungen, hauptsachlich bei genugender Feuchtigkeit and Warme, kommt es zu einer epidemischen Ausbreitung der Krankheit auf die ganze Kultur. Der Verlust der Assimilationsflache iibt bei starkerem Befall einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Mohnkapseln and Qualitat des Samens aus. Beim Klatschmohn werden vom Mikroorganismus nicht nur die Blatter, sondern auch Stengel, Knospen and Kapseln befallen, was bei Olmohnkulturen nicht beobachtet wurde. Eine Verbreitung der Blattfleckenbakteriose wurde bisher nur gelegentlich in einigen Gebieten der Republik festgestellt. Der Mikroorganismus konnte im allgemeinen leicht aus frischen, Hoch nicht eingetrockneten Flecken isoliert werden, wo er in einer fast einheitlichen Assoziation vorzufinden ist. Das Ausgangsmaterial fur die reinen Schalenkulturen bildeten auf dem Nahragar die an der Randzone der ausgestanzten Blattfleckenstiicke oder in den Ausstrichen des im Wassertropfen zerriebenen Blattfleckenmaterials entste- henden Kolonien. Mit den Subkulturen wurden die Blatter junger, im Beet geziichteter Pflanzen durch Bestreichen mit verdiinnter Bakterienemulsion infiziert. Die Pflanzen wurden durch Glaszylinder mit Kaliko-Verschluss durch zwei Tage hindurch verdeckt. Nach 4-5 Tagen machte sich die Infektion in dichten kleinen Flecken bemerkbar, die stellenweise in zusammenhangende Flachen ubergingen. Die Identitat des Mikroorganismus wurde durch Ruckisolierung nachgewiesen. Die Infektion des Stengels wurde snit einem sehr dunnen Kapillarrohrchen durch- gefuhrt, das 1-2 mm3 wasserige Bakteriensuspension enthielt and his zum Bereich der Gefassbundel eingestochen wurde. Nach 7-9 Tagen trat nur eine lokale Ober- flachennekrose unmittelbar urn. den Einstich herum and eine Nekrose des inneren Gewebes his zu 2 cm ober- and unterhalb des Einstichs in Erscheinung. Nach Ablauf von 2-3 Wochen breitete sich die Nekrose in schmalem Streifen nach oben and unten auf die Entfernung von einigen cm aus. Diese Pflanzen konnen zwar in ihrer Entwicklung geschwacht sein, doch tritt keine Faule ein wie bei der Stengelbakteriose des Mohns. Die Bakterien haben die Form eines kurzen, ovoiden, 0,9 x 0,6 p. grossen Stabehens; sie sind beweg- lich, gramnegativ, besitzen eine einzige, polstandige Geissel and bilden bei dlteren Kulturen Hullen, aber keine Sporen. Auf Fleischextrakt-Peptonagar wachsen im Verlauf von 24 Stunden 1 bis 1,5 mm grosse, runde and gewolbte Kolonien von senfgelber glanzender Farbung and mit geradem Rand; im durchscheinenden Licht sind sie braungelb and gegen das Zentrum zu dichter granuliert. Auf Schragagar bilden sie einen dunnen, sattgelben Belag von schleimiger Konsistenz. Auf Kartoffelagar verlauft ihr Wachstum uppiger and die Farbung ist sattgelb; Starke wird hydrolysiert. Bei Milch erfolgt am zweiten Tag Koagulation, am sechsten Tag Peptonisation. Der Mikroorganismus bewirkt Garung ohne Gasbildung bei Dextrose, Galaktose, Saccharose, Fruktose, Laktose, Maltose, Arabinose, Mannit, Mannose and Glyzerin, reduziert Nitrate, verfliissigt Gelatine langsam (in 6 Wochen his zur Halfte der Normalsaule) and produziert Ammoniak sowie Schwefelwasserstoff, nicht aber Indol. Der Mikroorganismus ist oxybiotisch; im Eintrocknungszustand betragt seine Lebensbestandigkeit 7-9 Monate. Temperaturoptimum 25- 30? C; pH Wert 6,5-7,5. Nach diesen Eigenschaften wird als Erreger der bei uns verbreiteten Blattfleckenbakteriose des Olmohns bestimmt: Xanthomonas papavericola (Bryan et Me Whorter) Dowson. Synonymum: Bacterium papavericola Bryan et Whorter. Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Approved For Release 2008/04/10: CIA-RDP80T00246AO02900500012-2 Die Stengelbakteriose des Mohns Diese durch Schwarzwerden and Nassfaule des Stengels in Erscheinung tretende Krankheit wurde ursprunglich beim Opium- and Klatschmohn in Indien festgestellt (Hutchinson 1916, Ram Ayyar 1917); ihr Erreger wurde erst spater unter der Bezeichnung Bacillus papaveris n. sp. beschrieben (Ram Ayyar 1927). In unseren Kulturen beobachteten wir Pflanzen mit Merkmalen, die jenen glichen, die von diesen Autoren angefuhrt wurden. Die ersten Krankheitssymptome machten rich bei den Pflanzen im Stadium ihrer starksten Entwicklung zu Beginn der Knospenbildung bemerkbar. Die Erkrankung beginnt mit dem Welken der Gipfel and breitet sich binnen 2-3 Tagen fiber die gauze Pflanze aus. Der Infektionsbeginn verrat sich durch eine dunkle, weiche Stelle, am haufigsten in der oberen Stengel- halfte, an der gewohnlich der Stengel bruchig wird. Im Querschnitt des Stengels erscheint das Mark gebraunt bis schwarzlich and ist zum grossten Teil zerstort; die Innenwand ist von weisslichem bakteriellem Schleim bedeckt, der aus der Bruchstelle fliesst. Es folgt dann der Zerfall aller ubrigen, bisher nicht betroffenen Pflanzenteile. Jiingere Pflanzen unterliegen dem Zerfall bedeutend schneller, sodass oft nur auf der Erde liegende vertrocknete Blattreste iibrigbleiben. Die in ihrer fortgeschrittenen Entwicklung befallenen Pflanzen werden zwar nicht bruchig, sterben aber ebenfalls schnell ab. Beim Klatschmohn sind die Krankheitssymptome ahnlich. In Kulturen werden zunachst einzelne Pflanzen befallen, von denen aus dann die Krankheit nestartig um sich greift, wobei besonders feuchte Boden ein Reservoir dieses Mikro- organismus bilden. Bei der Infektion scheinen eine grosse Rolle beissende and saugende Insekten zu spielen, die in der weiten Umgebung des Standortes einen Bestandteil der Biozonosen der Mohnkulturen and der. Phytozonosen bilden. Die betrachtliche Menge des bakteriellen Schleims, mit dem die Pflanzen im vorge- schrittenen Faulezustand bedeckt sind, ermoglicht eine Vbertragung der Infektion, die, wie experimental nachgewiesen wurde, auch durch die Weichwanze Calocoris norvegicus Gmel. erfolgen kann. Die Stengelbakteriose des Mohns wurde bisher bei einer grosseren Zahl von Lokali- taten in Mahren and in der Slowakei beobachtet. Zur Isolierung des Mikroorganismus wurde das Material der Schleimsubstanz verwendet, die das Innere der faulenden Stengel bedeckt. Die kiinstliche Infektion zahlreicher Pflanzen verlief durchwegs positiv and rief alle Begleitsymptome natiirlicher Infektionen hervor. Nach 48 Stunden begann das Welken der Pflanzen, am dritten Tag erschienen am Stengel die ersten Bruchstellen and im Verlaufe einer Woche waren 90 % der Stengel von Versuchspflanzen bruchig, was auf eine grosse Pathogenitat des Mikroorganismus hinweist. Nach Infektion durch Auflegen eines befallenen Gewebeteils in die Blattachsel kam es unter typischen Erkrankungserscheinungen zum Absterben der Pflanze bereits nach 12 Tagen. Ebenso wurden gauze Pflanzen nach Infektion des Haupt- nerven eines Blattes befallen, die ungefahr 5 cm von der Insertion entfernt gesetzt wurde; dabei konnte eine Verbreitung der Bakterien durch die Gefassbundel beob- achtet werden. Das Aufstreichen der Suspension auf Blatter rief keine Flecken- bildung hervor, die bei der vorherbeschriebenen Blattfleckenbakteriose erzielt werden konnte. Die infizierten Knospen trieben entweder noch aus and entwickelten verschiedentlich deformierte Mohnkapseln, oder wurden Schwarz and vertrockneten, wobei die Infektion oft durch die Gefassbundel auch auf den Stengel ubergriff and manchmal bis in die Wurzel vordrang. Ahnlich verlief die Infektion in den verschie- denen Organen des Klatschmohns and unter den verwandten Pflanzen beim gemeinen Erdrauch (Fumaria oflicinalis L.), wahrend sie beim Scholkraut (Chelidonium mains L.) and beim Jungfernherz (Dicentra spectabilis L.) negativ blieb.

Sie rind beweglich, gramnegativ, seitenstandig begeisselt and bilden weder Mullen noch Sporen. Die Kolonien erreichen auf Fleischextrakt-Peptonagar eine Grosse von 0,5 bis 1,5 mm and rind schwach kuppelformig, rundlich mit geradem hellem Rand, graulich weiss, glanzend, schwach blau opalisierend, im durchscheinenden Licht gelbbraun and feinkornig. Altere Kolonien haben ein annahernd stiirzenartigeIg Aussehen mit erhohtem gelblichem Zentrum and unregelmassig gewelltem, radial gefaltetem Rand. Auf Schragagar bilden die Kolonien einen iippigen, grauweiss glanzenden and im durchscheinenden Licht gelbbraunen Belag mit fein gewolbtem Rand, auf Kartoffelagar einen schwach erhohten, grau- weissen, stark glanzenden Belag mit gelapptem Rand. Bouillon wird nach 24 Stunden in der ganzen Saule getrubt, Milch am dritten Tag ebenfalls in der ganzen Saule gefallt. Der Mikroorganismus vergart Dextrose, Fruktose, Saccharose, Laktose, Mannose, Glyzerin, Xylose, Mannit and Arabinose unter schwacher Gasbildung, die am dritten Tag ausgepragter ist. Maltose gart nicht oder nur sehr schwach and ohne Gasbildung. Positive Reduktion von Nitraten. Gelatine wird anfanglich schusselartig, nach zwei Tagen sackartig and am sechsten Tag in der ganzen Saule verfliissigt. Ammoniak and Schwefel- wasserstoff wird nur sehr schwach, Indol dberhaupt nicht produziert. Sehr schwache Hydrolyse der Starke. Milch mit Lakmus and Methylenblau farbt ab. Der Mikroorganismus ist fakultativ anaerob, seine Lebensfahigkeit betragt im Eintrocknungszustand ungefahr 4-5 Monate mit einem Wachstums- optimum bei 26-30? C and pH 7-8. Im Hinblick auf these Eigenschaften gehort der Erreger der bei uns beobachteten Stengelbakteriose des Olmohns zur Gruppe der pathogenen Stamme, die taxonomisch reprasentiert wird durch die Art: Bacterium carotovorum (L. R. Jones) Lehmann, Neumann. Synonyma: Bacillus papaveris Ayyar, Erwinia papaveris (Ayyar) Magrou, Erwinia aroideae (Towsend) Bergey. Die erkannte Tatsache, dass beide Krankheiten auch wildwachsende Mohnarten befallen and durch Insekten iibertragen werden konnen, erhoht die Bedeutung dieser Bakteriosen unter unseren Ziichtungsbedingungen. Vom Standpunkt des Pflanzen- schutzes sind vor allem Praventivmassnahmen notwendig, also die Auswahl nicht allzu feuchter Boden, Einhaltung einer richtigen Fruchtfolge and Verwendung von gut geerntetem and gereinigtem Saatgut aus nur gesunden Kulturen. Durch rechtzeitige Bekampfung der Schadlinge mit Insektiziden kann auch die Ausbrei- tung dieser Bakteriosen eingeschrankt werden. (Bildtafeln XXVI, XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX) A y y a r, C.
