Studies in the Redistribution of Some Phytopathogenic Species of Bacillus

The genus Bacillus as recently defined excludes non-endospore formers which necessitates a redistribution of the phytopathogenic species. The studies from which this preliminary report is taken deal with the possible reclassification of eight species of peritrichous phytopathogenic bacteria. More than 50 species of bacterial plant pathogens have been described as belonging to the genus Bacillus. In only a comparatively few of these named species do the original citations include a description adequate for accurate identification and classification. A number of these have since been relegated to synonymy. Out of all these species, cultures of only eight could be obtained from various laboratories and culture collections. Cultural and limited cross-inoculation studies on 75 isolates of these eight species of peritrichous plant pathogens have served as a basis for the determination of the relationships of the species. These studies indicate that these eight species constitute two separate and distinct groups of bacteria. One of these groups may be included in the genus Erwinia Com. S.A.B., 1917. The other group, involving the soft rot organisms, will probably constitute a separate new genus or be included in some other existing genus

Data provision in the games industry in Scotland

This project was initiated to explore data-related issues in Scotland’s games industry, an area that has been subject to debate within industry and government. The importance of Scotland’s games industry has been highlighted by both industry and government organisations in Scotland and the UK. The industry’s success is recognised both nationally and internationally and has been used in various guises to promote Scotland, recruit talent and attract inward investment. However, despite this level of interest and visibility, questions have been raised about how accurately the industry is portrayed given some issues with accuracy, availability and relevance of data about the games industry in Scotland. Industry practitioners, support agencies, public bodies and academic organisations have expressed data-related issues in various forums including committee hearings held by the Scottish and UK governments. While data about the industry do exist, there appears to be a lack of accessible public data that can provide the requisite detail, and limited integration of that data which are available. Such issues can negatively impact on decision-making by policy-makers and industry. For example, the 2015 enquiry by the Scottish Government’s Economic Environment and Tourism Committee indicated that a lack of such data resulted in difficulties identifying the economic impact of Scotland’s games industry

A Quantitative Study of the Early Weed Stage of Secondary Plant Succession in Central Iowa

Count-list and chart quadrats, camera-sets-frequence and frequence-abundance determinations were used to compare the vegetation of 28 fields in Story and Boone counties during the first growing season following cultivation. Similarities and differences in growth response as well as in floristics were tabulated and evaluated. There seemed to be little relationship between the frequency and constancy of the species and previous cultural treatment although there was a definite relationship between their abundance and previous cultural treatment. By the end of August, in the drought year of 1934, sufficient top cover had developed to reduce to an appreciable degree the force of the rain water falling on the areas: 34.5 per cent cover to 91 per cent cover with an average of 58 per cent. Annuals which are effective aggregates because of abundance of non-motile seed and ease of establishment (Setaria viridis, Setaria glauca and Ambrosia trifida) were found to be dominant in most of the communities the first year. Setaria viridis had greater frequence and frequence-abundance than any other species although several of the species have more seeds per plant
