Three-dimensional crystallization of the light-harvesting complex from Mantoniella squamata (Prasinophyceae) requires an adequate purification proced…

1995

Abstract We present a new purification procedure for the light-harvesting complex of Mantoniella squamata whereupon three-dimensional crystallization succeeded. Previous purification methods were based on density centrifugations as the only separating principle. We have extended this preparation procedure by applying anion-exchange and molecular-sieve chromatography techniques. Purity and stability of the complex were proved by denaturing and non-denaturing polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, and spectroscopic measurements. With respect to contaminating lipids the purified pigment-protein complex was examined by thin-layer chromatography and the aggregation and/or oligomeric states were inv…

MEDLEM database, a data collection on large Elasmobranchs in the Mediterranean and Black seas

2020

The Mediterranean Large Elasmobranchs Monitoring (MEDLEM) database contains more than 3,000 records (with more than 4,000 individuals) of large elasmobranch species from 21 different countries around the Mediterranean and Black seas, observed from 1666 to 2017. The principal species included in the archive are the devil ray (1,868 individuals), the basking shark (935 individuals), the blue shark (622 individuals), and the great white shark (342 individuals). In the last decades, other species such as the thresher shark (187 individuals), the shortfin mako (180 individuals), and the spiny butterfly ray (138) were reported with increasing frequency. This was possibly due to increased public a…

Purification and identification of chlorophyll c1 from the green alga Mantoniella squamata

1987

Abstract The prasinophycean alga Mantoniella squamata contains besides chlorophyll a and b a third chlorophyll c -like pigment in its light-harvesting antenna. This third chlorophyll was purified by reverse phase and polyethylene chromatography in order to identify its chemical structure. The absorption and fluorescence spectra were measured not only from the doubly purified pigment, but also from its Mg-free derivates. The spectra were compared with those of authentic chlorophyll c and of Mg-2,4-desethyl-2,4-divinylpheoporphyrin a 5 monomethyl ester which was isolated from Rhodobacter capsulata . The results show that the pigment from Mantoniella agrees best with chlorophyll c 1 . In order…

Comparative analysis of the composition of two chlorophyll-b-containing light-harvesting complexes.

1990

The major light-harvesting complexes from Mantoniella squamata (Prasinophyceae) and from Chlorella fusca (Chlorophyceae) were analyzed with respect to polypeptide composition and pigmentation. It was found that the polypeptides of Mantoniella are smaller than those of Chlorella and bind twice the amount of pigment. We assume that the amount of pigment per polypeptide is of ecological as well as of taxonomical importance.

On the operators which are invertible modulo an operator ideal

2001

Atkinson [3] studied the operators which are left invertible $i(X, Y) or right invertible $T{X, Y) modulo /C, with K. the compact operators. He proved that an operator T € C(X, Y) belongs to <£/ or $ r if and only if the kernel and the range of T are complemented and additionally, the kernel is finite dimensional or the range is finite codimensional, respectively. Yood [19] obtained some perturbation results for these classes and Lebow and Schechter [12] proved that the inessential operators form the perturbation class for $,(A") and $r{X). Yang [18] extended some results of ^3, 19] to operators invertible modulo W, with W the weakly compact operators. His aim was to study a generalised Fre…

On spectra of geometric operators on open manifolds and differentiable groupoids

2001

We use a pseudodifferential calculus on differentiable groupoids to obtain new analytical results on geometric operators on certain noncompact Riemannian manifolds. The first step is to establish that the geometric operators belong to a pseudodifferential calculus on an associated differentiable groupoid. This then leads to Fredholmness criteria for geometric operators on suitable noncompact manifolds, as well as to an inductive procedure to compute their essential spectra. As an application, we answer a question of Melrose on the essential spectrum of the Laplace operator on manifolds with multicylindrical ends.

A probabilistic meaning of certain quasinormal subgroups

2007

The role of the cyclic quasinormal subgroups has been recently described in groups both finite and infinite by S.Stonehewer and G.Zacher. This role can be better analyzed in the class of compact groups, obtaining restrictions for the probability that two randomly chosen elements commute.

Ergodic properties of operators in some semi-Hilbertian spaces

2012

This article deals with linear operators T on a complex Hilbert space ℋ, which are bounded with respect to the seminorm induced by a positive operator A on ℋ. The A-adjoint and A 1/2-adjoint of T are considered to obtain some ergodic conditions for T with respect to A. These operators are also employed to investigate the class of orthogonally mean ergodic operators as well as that of A-power bounded operators. Some classes of orthogonally mean ergodic or A-ergodic operators, which come from the theory of generalized Toeplitz operators are considered. In particular, we give an example of an A-ergodic operator (with an injective A) which is not Cesaro ergodic, such that T  * is not a quasiaff…

Metric operators, generalized hermiticity and partial inner product spaces

2015

A quasi-Hermitian operator is an operator in a Hilbert space that is similar to its adjoint in some sense, via a metric operator, i.e., a strictly positive self-adjoint operator. Motivated by the recent developments of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, we analyze the structure of metric operators, bounded or unbounded, in a Hilbert space. We introduce several generalizations of the notion of similarity between operators and explore to what extent they preserve spectral properties. Next we consider canonical lattices of Hilbert spaces generated by unbounded metric operators. Since such lattices constitute the simplest case of a partial inner product space (PIP space), we can exploit the te…
