Features of low-temperature storage of streptomyces strains - producers of glycosidaz inhibitors by A. A. Printseva, N. Yu. Sharova, T. V. Vybornova, B. S. Manzhieva

“…The proteinase activity of the inactivated native solution was determined by a modified method using a casein substrate.The experimental data were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics and Excel XP programs.As a result of the research, it was established that the actinomycete strains of S. lucensis and S. violaceus, the producers of glycosidase inhibitors, can maintain inhibitory activity during low-temperature storage for nine months.For the S. lucensis actinomycete strain, stored in a 15 % glycerol solution at – 18 °C, the maximum inhibitory activity is 48 hours in the biotechnological process and is (3686 ± 300) IU/cm3 native solution, and for the violaceus strain – (3150 ± 200) IU/cm³ of the native solution, respectively.For the strain of actinomycete S. lucensis, stored in 0.9 % sodium chloride solution at a temperature of – 18 °C, the maximum inhibitory activity accounts for 72 h of the biotechnological process and is (2600 ± 200) IU/cm³ of the native solution, and for the strain S. violaceus the maximum inhibitory activity accounts for 24 hours of the biotechnological process and is (3530 ± 200) IU/cm³ of the native solution.At a storage temperature of +4 °C, the inhibitory activity for the strain of actinomycete S. lucensis is (560 ± 20) IU/cm³ of native solution, and for the strain of S. violaceus – (1747 ± 100) IU/cm³ of native solution, respectively. …”

NAGPRA in Archaeological Practice: Implementing Duty of Care by Jennifer R. Haas, Brooke Morgan, Ellen Lofaro, Jayne-Leigh Thomas, Sarah O’Donnell, Nina M. Schreiner, Miranda Panther

“…There are several key takeaways of its initial effects, including (1) an increased burden to Native Nations, given the substantial uptick in requests for consultation linked to new requirements for consent and the revised definitions of cultural items and research (although the end result of more consultations leading to repatriations is desired), (2) a disconnect between Native Nations and institutions regarding cultural item identification, (3) a strengthening of existing NAGPRA-related institutional policies and procedures, and (4) an emphasis on the importance of consultation between institutions and Native Nations to facilitate repatriation.…”
