An axenically cultured isolate of single-celled freshwater microalgae (Chlorella sp.) metabolized toxic selenate to volatile dimethylselenide at exceptionally high rates when transferred from mineral-nutrient solution to water for 24 h. The Se-volatilization rates were orders of magnitude higher than those similarly measured for wetland macroalgae and higher plants.

Cartilage repair by autologous periosteal arthroplasty is enhanced by continuous passive motion (CPM) of the joint after transplantation of the periosteal graft. However, the mechanisms by which CPM stimulate chondrogenesis are unknown. Based on the observation that an oscillating intra-synovial pressure fluctuation has been reported to occur during CPM (0.

The ability of cells to decorate glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) with sulphate in highly specific patterns is important to extracellular matrix biogenesis and placing appropriate glycosulphated ligands on the cell surface. We have examined sulphate metabolism in two pancreatic duct epithelial cell lines - PANC-1 and CFPAC-1 (derived from a cystic fibrosis patient) with a view to understanding how pancreatic cells utilise intracellular sulphate. [35S]Sulphate uptake was rapid and reached near steady state levels within 10 min.

Bovine trachea in organ culture secretes mucus containing a 'high-density' (1.46 g/ml) and a 'low-density' (1.37 g/ml) mucin similar to those identified previously in bovine respiratory secretions [Hovenberg, Carlstedt and Davies (1997) Biochem.

The murine macrophage cell line J774 was incubated with [35S]sulphate. The cell-associated 35S-labelled macromolecules were shown to be proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans in similar amounts. The possible presence of cell-surface proteoglycans was investigated by incubating [35S]sulphate-labelled cells with trypsin for 15 min.
