Lactobacillus satsumensis sp. nov., isolated from mashes of shochu, a traditional Japanese distilled spirit made from fermented rice and other starchy materials.

Gram-positive, rod-shaped, motile lactic acid bacteria (strains NRIC 0603, NRIC 0604T, NRIC 0605 and NRIC 0606) were isolated from shochu mashes using an enrichment culture approach. These strains clustered in the Lactobacillus casei-Pediococcus group and were closely related to Lactobacillus nagelii and Lactobacillus mali on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Levels of DNA-DNA relatedness revealed genotypic separation of the four isolates from the above two species. The isolates are therefore considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Lactobacillus satsumensis is proposed. The type strain is NRIC 0604T (=JCM 12392T=DSM 16230T).

Response of Lemma perpusilla to Periodic Transfer to Distilled Water.

The flowering of Lemma perpusilla grown on half-strength Hutner's medium with sucrose under inductive photo-periods is inhibited in a periodic manner by daily transfers to water for short periods of time. The phase of maximal inhibition of flowering caused by water treatment is about 1 to 2 hours after the time of maximal sensitivity to light pulses. The rhythm of sensitivity to water treatments does not persist under continuous blue light. Supplementing the water with either Ca(NO(3))(2) or K(2)HPO(4) partially reverses the inhibition of flowering, with the first salt being more effective. Supplementation with NH(4)NO(3) or MgSO(4) increases the inhibition. The water effect on flowering is not observed in plants grown on half-strength Hutner's medium without sucrose. The water treatments may act by removing or destroying a crucial precursor for photoperiodic induction, with the other conditions modifying permeability. The system provides a new technique for investigating the mechanism of photoperiodic induction.

Instilling and distilling a reputation for institutional excellence: a critical reflection on organising practice.

PURPOSE: This ethnographic investigation of a general hospital aims to critically analyse a much lauded corporate culture. Rather than accepting the managerial and academic claims concerning the mobilisation of corporate culture at face value, this study builds upon a labour process analysis and takes a close look at how it actually seems to work. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The paper explores and describes how executive managers seek to design and impose corporate culture change and how it affects the nursing employees of this organisation. This was achieved by means of a six month field study of day-to-day life in the hospital's nursing division. FINDINGS: The results lend little support to the official claims that, if managerial objectives are realised, they are achieved through some combination of shared values and employee participation. The evidence lends more support to the critical view in labour process writing that modern cultural strategies lead to increased corporate control, greater employee subjection and extensive effort intensification. The contradiction this brings into the working lives of the employees leads to the conclusion that the rhetoric of corporate culture change does not affect the pre-existing attitudes and value orientations of nursing employees. However, there were considerable variations in how employees received the managerial message and thus, by their degree of misbehaviour and adaptation, affected the organisation itself as well as using the cultural rhetoric against the management for their own ends. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The paper concludes that an extended labour process analysis is necessary to challenge the way in which corporate culture change is explored and described by management academics and practitioners.
