AbstractThis review covers almost two hundred and twenty heterobinuclear platinum compounds in which Pt⋯M separation is over 3.0 Å. The M is a transition metal (Cu, Ag, Au, Ti, V, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Re, Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni and Pd). There is an example of a lanthanide, Yb and a actinide, U. The Pt atom has oxidation numbers 0, +2 and +4. The Pt coordination geometries include trigonal planar Pt(0); square planar Pt(II); trigonal bipyramidal, and pseudo octahedral Pt(IV), with the most frequent being square planar. The most common ligands for Pt are P and C donor atoms, as well as a chlorine atom. The Pt — Ag distance of 3.002(1) Å is the shortest found in this series. There are examples which contain two crystallographically independent molecules, which differ mostly by degree of distortion and even one unique example, which contains eight such molecules. These are examples of distortion isomerism. Factors affecting bond lengths and angles are discussed and some ambiguities in coordination polyhedral are outlined.

Successive Generations

Silkworms are well-known industrial insects, which produce natural fiber silk. Because of economic importance for silk yarn, an effort to breed new silkworm variety has been made for thousand years. High cocoon yielding due to high resistance, high silk reeling ability and productivity, better silk quality in neatness and lousiness is essential for new silkworm variety to increase silk productivity. Today, several hundred varieties have been bred accordingly various interests and purposes (Kang et al., 2001, 2002). Pupation rate, single cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight and cocoon shell percentage are the main factors affecting the high yielding of cocoon (Kang et al., 2001, 2002). Native silkworm varieties have the low performance and could not be commercially employed. Indigenous strains are valuable genetic resources. They have been affected by natural selection in the successive generations and adapted to indigenous diseases and environmental conditions. Genetic and phenotypic characterization of locally available native silkworm populations provides essential information to make rational decisions for the improvement and development of effective breeding programmes. Hence, the present study was undertaken to identify genetic potential of indigenous silkworm for designing suitable breeding programmes.

Sequence Types

Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis is a lactic acid bacterium that characterizes the sourdough environment. The genetic differences of 24 strains isolated in different years from sourdoughs, mostly collected in Italy, were examined and compared by PFGE and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The MLST scheme, based on the analysis of six housekeeping genes (gdh, gyrA, mapA, nox, pgmA and pta) was developed for this study. PFGE with the restriction enzyme ApaI proved to have higher discriminatory power, since it revealed 22 different pulsotypes, while 19 sequence types were recognized through MLST analysis. Notably, restriction profiles generated from three isolates collected from the same firm but in three consecutive years clustered in a single pulsotype and showed the same sequence type, emphasizing the fact that the main factors affecting the dominance of a strain are correlated with processing conditions and the manufacturing environment rather than the geographical area. All results indicated a limited recombination among genes and the presence of a clonal population in L. sanfranciscensis. The MLST scheme proposed in this work can be considered a useful tool for characterization of isolates and for in-depth examination of the strain diversity and evolution of this species.
