SummaryIn this review the interaction between invasive human pathogens expressing plasmin(ogen) receptors and/or producing plasminogen activators with the human plasmin(ogen) system is described. Evidence is presented for multiple mechanisms by which human pathogens can acquire a surface bound form of plasmin that cannot be regulated by host serpins. The potential importance of these pathways in providing the organisms with the ability to cross tissue barriers is discussed.

Facies Types

This paper describes and analyzes the Upper Jurassic (Lower Kimmeridgian) succession exposed in the Zakrzówek Horst, located in the Kraków area. Three distinguished facies types FT 1-FT 3 comprise several limestone varieties: sponge-microbial, pelitic-bioclastic, and partly dolomitized detrital-bioclastic. Their sedimentary environments varied from relatively deeper, attaining storm-wave base, to more shallower, probably close to normal-wave base. Characteristic features of limestones are changes in contents of CaCO3 and insoluble residuum as well as porosity values in vertical transitional zones between facies types. The investigated facies types differ in sediment porosity dependent on development of limestones and its susceptibility to mechanical compaction during the early diagenesis. The studied limestones show high CaCO3 contents and minor insoluble residuum contents comprising quartz, chalcedony and clay minerals. No distinct variability occurs in contents of magnesium, silica, alumina and iron accumulated in clay minerals, iron oxides and oxyhydroxides, as well as in the amounts of amorphous silica. Early diagenetic dolomites, which occur locally within the limestones, were unrelated to fracture systems as possible pathways responsible for transfer of solutions rich in Mg2+ ions. The possible source of Mg2+ ions might have been the pore solutions, which migrated from compacted basinal bedded facies towards reef facies or the grain-supported bedded facies developed in the adjacent areas. Microscopic studies revealed dedolomitization at the surfaces and in the inner parts of dolomite crystals. In many cases, dolomite crystals were replaced by calcite forming pseudomorphs.

Abstract. Two new genera and eight new species of benthic foraminifera are described from the shallow water, tropical lagoon of Madang, Papua New Guinea. The new hauerinid genus Pseudolachlanella is characterized by juvenile cryptoquinqueloculine, adult almost massiline arranged chambers, and a slitlike, curved aperture with parallel sides and a long, slender, curved miliolid tooth. Pitella haigi n. gen., n. sp. is a new foraminifera with cryptoquinqueloculine arranged chambers, an almost entirely pitted shell surface (pseudopores) and a rounded aperture with a short simple tooth. Among the other species described as new are four hauerinids and two agglutinated foraminifera All new species described here occur sporadically in the shallow water back- and forereef environments of the lagoon (0–55m), and live infaunally and epifaunally in well-oxygenated, fine and coarse grained biogenic sediments. They are absent in muddy, organic-rich, low-oxygen sedimentary environments within bay inlets where variations of salinity are considerable.
