Total human DNA was fractionated from the three types of Cs2SO4 gradient used to prepare satellites I, II and III. Three satellite DNAs were found: satellite I with a mean buoyant density of 1.6888 g/ml comprising about 1.3% of the total, satellite II with a mean buoyant of 1.696 g/ml, comprising about 1% of the total an satellite III with a mean buoyant density of 1.699 g/ml comprising about 2.2% of the total. The buoyant densities of these satellites after purification were 1.686, 1.694 and 1.697 m/gl, respectively. A preparation with the attributes of satellite IV was isolated from the shoulder region of a satellite III preparative gradient. In situ hybridization using complementary RNA showed that the three satellites were located predominantly on chromosomes 9, Y, 15 and 1. Satellite II also showed marked hybridization to chromosome 16. Satellites I and II and III cross-hybridized to each other but satellites I and II did not. On the basis of our hybridization data, we suggest that some of the same sequences which comprise satellite III also comprise satellite I an II.

Chemomechanical Self-Oscillatory Microgel Motility in Stratified Chemical Media.

The design of chemomechanical self-oscillators, which execute oscillations in the presence of constant stimuli lacking periodicity, is a step toward the development of autonomous and interactive soft robotic systems. This work presents a simple design of prolonged chemomechanical oscillatory movement in a microgel system capable of buoyant motility within stratified chemical media containing spatially localized sinking and floating stimuli. Three design elements are developed: a stimuli-responsive membranized calcium alginate microgel, a Percoll density gradient for providing stratified antagonistic chemical media, and transduction of microgel particle size actuation into buoyant motility via membrane-mediated displacement of the Percoll media.

Biofilms are indispensable ecological habitats for microbes that have garnered global attention and play a potential role in influencing the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen. However, the biogeochemical significance of biofilms and the mechanisms by which they regulate nitrogen cycling remain elusive. In this study, we utilized DNA-stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP) labelling techniques in conjunction with metagenomics to reveal a nitrifying ecological niche in biofilms taken from the Yangtze Estuary, with those from sediment and water samples for comparison.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the use of DNA-labeled chitosan nanoparticles (DCNPs) as surrogates for understanding how rotavirus is treated in sand filtration systems.
- Despite differences in zeta potential and hydrophobicity, DCNPs showed similar size and density to rotavirus and effectively mimicked its attenuation in coastal and alluvial sand.
- The findings suggest that while DCNPs are a promising tool for further research on rotavirus behavior in water treatment, additional experiments with varying conditions are needed to confirm their applicability.

Article Synopsis
- * This method can effectively differentiate S. enterica from other food-borne pathogens and works well when combined with buoyant density centrifugation (BDC) for separating bacteria from food samples.
- * Successful tests on both artificially and naturally contaminated food samples indicate that this targeted MS method could serve as a reliable alternative to traditional culture methods for detecting S. enterica.

Icing is a widespread phase change phenomenon with implications for daily life and industrial production. Air bubbles form on the freezing front of pure water with dissolved air during the icing, which may affect the physical properties of ice. Controlling the behavior of air bubbles will be one method to change the physical properties of ice.
