In recent decades researchers have shown concern over acquisition of cultivars with good baking quality, a characteristic which initially refers to the protein composition of the endosperm, composed principally of the proteins making up gluten. Various methodologies have been employed in the evaluation of this characteristic, including SDS-PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), SE-HPLC (size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography), baking tests and employment of genetic markers. In an attempt to compare the different existing methodologies and propose a strategy for wheat genetic improvement programs based on industrial quality, four different techniques were tests with 45 national cultivars. Six allele-specific markers were used for verification of the presence of the HMW subunits: Glu-D1-1d (5+10) and Glu-B1-2a (7+8), one LMW subunit: Glu-A3d, the presence or absence of 1B/1R translocation: by the presence of Glu-B1 (long arm of the wheat chromosome) or ω- secalin (gene of the short arm of rye) and puroindoline (Pinb-D1b). Also employed where SDS-PAGE, SE-HPLC and baking test methods. As a result of applying the markers, the presence in the genotypes observed was: 71% for subunit Glu-D1-1d (5+10), 16% for Glu-B1-2a (7+8), 60% for Glu-B1 (absence of translocation) and 8% for Pinb-D1b and Glu-A3d. The results of SDS-PAGE suggested a prevalence of the subunits 2* and 1 in chromosome 1A; 7+8, 7+9 and 17+18 in 1B; and 5+10 in 1D. The average values of SE-HPLC were 35.99% and 44.99% for the polymeric protein in protein (PPP) and unextractable polymeric protein (UPP), respectively, and 1.29 for the ratio between gliadins and glutenins (GLI/GLU), with significant variation among the genotypes (p≤0.05). The baking test also showed a significant difference (p≤0.05) between the cultivars under the same conditions. The UPP data were independent of the PPP percentage data, signifying that a portion of the unextractable polymeric protein (UPP) does not depend on the greater percentage of total polymeric proteins. However there was a positive correlation between the score of HMW subunits, evaluated by SDSPAGE, and the UPP values; this indicates that scoring has apparently been efficient in classifying the genotypes of greatest quality. The cultivars without translocation with rye also showed better results for UPP, PPP and GLI/GLU in relation to those possessing translocation. The GLI/LGU ratio is correlated with the specific volume of the bread, but apparently does not guarantee quality of the qualitative characteristics, which may indicate the action of gliadins in extensibility, but with a lack of structure in the gluten network. These results corroborate for the selection of HMW subunits 5+10, cultivars without translocation with rye, with high values of UPP and an appropriate GLI/GLU ratio with the objective of obtaining greater wheat baking quality. / O trigo é um dos principais cereais em todo o mundo, sendo processado para uma gama de produtos. Surgiu nas últimas décadas a preocupação dos pesquisadores com a obtenção de cultivares com boa qualidade de panificação, característica que refere-se primordialmente a constituição protéica do endosperma, composta principalmente pelas proteínas formadoras de glúten. Várias metodologias vêm sendo empregadas na avaliação dessa característica, dentre as quais, estão o SDS-PAGE (eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida), SE-HPLC (cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência por exclusão molecular), teste de panificação e o emprego de marcadores genéticos. Buscando comparar as diferentes metodologias existentes e propor uma estratégia a programas de melhoramento de trigo voltados à qualidade industrial, testaram-se quatro diferentes técnicas em 45 cultivares nacionais. Usaram-se seis marcadores alelo-específicos direcionados à verificação da presença das subunidades de HMW: Glu-D1-1d (5+10) e Glu-B1-2a (7+8), uma subunidade de LMW: Glu-A3d, a presença ou ausência de translocação 1B/1R: pela presença de Glu-B1 (braço longo do cromossomo de trigo) ou de ω-secalin (gene do braço curto do centeio) e puroindolina (Pinb-D1b). Também foram empregadas as metodologias de SDS-PAGE, SE-HPLC e teste de panificação. Como resultado da aplicação de marcadores obteve-se presença nos genótipos de: 71% para subunidade Glu-D1-1d (5+10), 16% para Glu-B1-2a (7+8), 60% para Glu-B1 (ausência de translocação) e 8% para Pinb-D1b e Glu-A3d. Os resultados de SDS-PAGE apontam uma prevalência das subunidades 2* e 1 no cromossomo 1A; 7+8, 7+9 e 17+18 no 1B; e 5+10 no 1D. Enquanto, os valores médios de SE-HPLC foram de 35,99% e 44,99% para as frações de proteínas poliméricas totais (PPP) e não-extraíveis (UPP), respectivamente, e 1,29 para a relação entre gliadinas e gluteninas (GLI/GLU), com variação significativa entre os genótipos (p≤0,05). O teste de panificação também apontou diferença significativa (p≤0,05) entre as cultivares nas mesmas condições. Os dados de UPP foram independentes dos dados da proporção de PPP, significando que a porção de proteínas poliméricas não-extraíveis (UPP) não depende de maior proporção de proteínas poliméricas totais. Enquanto houve correlação positiva entre o escore dado às subunidades de HMW, avaliadas por SDS-PAGE, e os valores de UPP; isto indica que a pontuação aparentemente vem sendo eficaz em classificar os genótipos de melhor qualidade. As cultivares sem translocação com centeio também obtiveram melhores resultados para UPP, PPP e GLI/GLU em relação as que a possuem. A relação GLI/GLU está correlacionada ao volume específico dos pães, mas aparentemente não garantiu boa qualidade nas características qualitativas, o que pode indicar a ação de gliadinas na extensibilidade, mas com falha na estruturação da rede de glúten. Esses resultados corroboram para uma seleção a favor das subunidades 5+10 de HMW, de cultivares sem translocação com centeio, com alto valor de UPP e razão apropriada de GLI/GLU, quando se objetiva melhorar a qualidade de panificação do trigo.

[pt] A atividade de criação de uma interface digital interativa para a internet envolve questões de representação de seus elementos (tarefa a ser realizada pelos designers dessa interface), significação dos mesmos e a decodificação da interface pelos usuários. A semiótica, a ciência dos signos, apresenta-se como um minucioso olhar sobre questões mentalistas e da subjetividade humana. Esta pesquisa visa demonstrar que um website concebido com a implementação de princípios trazidos pela Semiótica Peirciana, aliados às metodologias da Usabilidade de interface teria mais sucesso com seu público - Uma vez compreendendo o comportamento, fruição, proficiência e objetivos deste público. O foco desta pesquisa recai sobre portais de informação brasileiros e o público falante da língua portuguesa. Os conceitos, avaliações e resultados obtidos podem ser extendidos para outros artefatos interativos e públicos diversos. Foram observadas várias ciências e metodologias que atuam na verificação de usabilidade de mídias digitais interativas, o componente cognitivo e o aprendizado humano. Foi apresentado um levantamento de dados baseado nas impressões dos usuários sobre a home page de dois portais de informação determinados, em adição aos comentários coletados em entrevistas com designers atuantes na criação de portais voltados para o público brasileiro. As páginas iniciais foram analisadas segundo os princípios da usabilidade de interface (vários autores) e da semiótica peirceana, na obra de Santaella. Os resultados do levantamento de dados e das análises foram utilizados na criação de recomendações para um design que vislumbre as questões da semiótica e da usabilidade de interface. / [en] The activity of creation of an interactive digital interface for the internet involves issues concerning the representation of its elements (task to be accomplished by the designers of that interface), significance of those elements and the decoding of that interface by the users. Semiotics, the science of signs, comes as a meticulous look on mentalist subjects and human subjectivity. This research seeks to demonstrate that a website conceived with the implementation of the principles brought from Peirce Semiotics, allied to usability interface methodologies, would become more successful among its public - by understanding the behavior, fruition, proficiency and the public s objectives. The focus of this research relapses on Brazilian portals and the speaker of Portuguese language public. The concepts, evaluations and obtained results can be extended to other interactive artefacts and diverse publics. Several sciences and methodologies that act in the usability verification of interactive digital medias, the cognitive component and the human learning were observed. A data set based on the user`s impressions about the home page of two specific information portals was presented, in addition to the comments collected in interviews with active designers in the creation of portals aimed at the Brazilian public. The home pages were analyzed in accordance with the principles of the usability (several authors) and the Peirce semiotics, in the work of Santaella. The results of the data collected and the analysis were used in the creation of advices for a design that glimpses issues from the semiotics and from the interface usability.

Denna uppsats redovisar en studie i hur en söktjänst på Internet kan kompletteras, antingen via en mobilapplikation eller genom en responsiv webbplats, för att underlätta användning via en smartphone. Fokus för undersökningen ligger på Riksarkivets söktjänst Nationell ArkivDatabas (NAD) som för tillfället inte är anpassad till mobila enheter. Vårt mål är även att undersöka hur inställningen ser ut för applikationer och responsiva webbplatser bland användare samt hur dessa åsikter skiljer sig mellan olika användarmålgrupper. Tillsammans med information från tidigare forskning har en studie utförs för att undersöka för- och nackdelar mellan appar respektive responsiva webbplatser. I våra undersökningar har vi valt att använda oss av två datainsamlingsmetoder: en kvantitativ webbenkät och semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer, som komplement till varandra. Totalt nio intervjuer har gjorts med tre personer ur varje Riksarkivets huvudmålgrupper. En webbenkät har även publicerats på Riksarkivets och Stockholms stadsarkivs webbplatser. / This paper reports a study in how a search service on the Internet can be completed either through a mobile application or through a responsive website, to facilitate use on a smartphone. The focus of the study is on the National Archives' search service National Archives Database (NAD), which is not currently adapted to mobile devices. Our aim is also to investigate how the attitude looks for applications and responsive websites among users and how these views differ between user groups. Together with data from previous research, a study was conducted to examine the pros and cons between apps and responsive websites. In our investigations we have chosen to use two methods of data collection: a quantitative web survey and semi-structured qualitative interviews, to complement each other. A total of nine interviews were conducted with three members from each of National Archives' main target groups. An online survey has also been published on the National Archives and Stockholm stadsarkivs websites.

Nach den Ergebnissen der zweiten Nationalen Verzehrsstudie sind in Deutschland bereits 66 % der Männer und 51 % der Frauen übergewichtig (BMI > 25) oder adipös (BMI > 30) [BMELV, 2008]. Bisher auf dem Markt befindliche „Light-Lebensmittel“ mit Fettaustausch- bzw. Fettersatzstoffen weisen jedoch häufig sensorische Mängel auf. Im Kooperationsprojekt „Pflanzliche Fettaustauschstoffe aus sphärischen Proteinmizellen“ (Universität Leipzig: Institut für Lebensmittelhygiene; Freising: Fraunhofer IVV) wurde ein Lupinenproteinisolat entwickelt, welches micellare Strukturen mit hydrophober Oberfläche ausbilden kann und sich aufgrund seiner fettähnlichen Eigenschaften als neuer proteinbasierter Fettaustauschstoff in Lebensmitteln eignet. Aufgrund der geringen mikrobiologischen Stabilität und einer hohen Belastung mit sporenbildenden Bakterien, z. T. Bacillus cereus, waren jedoch Maßnahmen zur Entkeimung der Rohstoffe sowie des Proteinisolats notwendig. Die Arbeit stellt diese Maßnahmen und deren Einfluss auf die mikrobiologische Beschaffenheit sowie sensorische, technofunktionelle und ausgewählte ernährungsphysiologische Eigenschaften dar. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde eine physikalische Methode der Saatgutentkeimung etabliert (130 °C/60 min), welche die mikrobielle Stabilisierung des lupinenproteinbasierten Fettaustauschstoffes sicherstellte, wobei die sensorische Qualität (Geschmack, Cremigkeit, Farbe) nur minimal, die ernährungsphysiologische (in-vitro-Verdaubarkeit, Maillard-Produkte, Polyphenolgehalt) jedoch nicht beeinflusst wurde. Starke Veränderungen der technofunktionellen Eigenschaften (z. B. Gelbildung, Wasserbindung, Emulgierbarkeit, Schaumbildung etc.) konnten sowohl im positiven als auch im negativen Sinne nicht beschrieben werden. Lichtmikroskopische Aufnahmen und Untersuchungen der Proteine mittels SDS-PAGE und DSC bestätigten eine nur geringfügige Beeinflussung der micellaren Struktur und Proteinzusammensetzung. Die Anwendung als Fettaustauschstoff in Lebensmitteln würde somit nicht beeinträchtigt. Der Einfluss der Saatgutbehandlung auf das Protein war wesentlich geringer als eine direkte thermische Behandlung des Proteinisolats. Im Hinblick auf den Gesamtprozess sollte eine Pasteurisierung der feuchten Proteinisolate im nichtproteinschädigenden Temperaturbereich (75 °C/5 min) dennoch durchgeführt werden, um während des Prozesses eingetragene Mikroorganismen zu inaktivieren.

This thesis is focused on thorough description of Competitive Intelligence term and its fol-lows usage for webpages audit. The practical part of this thesis is primarily created for the Bisnode company. However, it can be used everyone who wants to perform on-line webpages analysis of their competitors. In thesis are also used professional tools of Majestic company and SEOPowerSuite company. I got these for limited time after my e-mail corre-spondence with company´s support team. At the beginning of practical section the Bisnode company is introduced to readers, so that they might become familiar with it. After that, the analysis was performed and divided into 4 thematic areas based on Bisnode´s wish. I ana-lyzed strengths and weaknesses of monitored sites in each of this section so that the company can learn not only from their mistakes but also from mistakes of its rivals. I tried to analyze Competitive Intelligence term in detail in the theoretical part of thesis. In addition, this term is viewed from multiple angles (its history, reflection of its Czech trans-lation, ethic associated with the CI term or description CI as process). So, this thesis can be also a beneficial for readers that know this term but want get deeper knowledges.

"In seeing what picture makers can make of situational materials one can begin to see what we ourselves might be engaged in doing" (Goffman, 1979). Les dernières décennies ont été marquées par d'importants changements dans les rôles traditionnels des hommes ainsi que par une explosion de l’offre commerciale qui leur est offerte. Alors que l'industrie des médias utilise des stratégies multiples pour façonner l'identité de genre et les intérêts des consommateurs, il est pertinent d'examiner la représentation de la masculinité moderne dans les médias. L’hypothèse de cette recherche est que les magazines masculins généralistes projettent une image stéréotypée, monochrome et hégémonique de la masculinité, et ce, indépendamment du segment de la population qu’ils visent. À partir d’éléments empruntés à la théorie du marketing, d’éléments archétypaux de Jung, des codes du genre développés par Goffman, ainsi que de certains concepts associés à la masculinité hégémonique définis chez Bourdieu et Connell, une analyse de 72 pages couverture provenant de 12 magazines pour hommes a été effectuée. À quelques exceptions près, l’étude a démontré une homogénéité du message commercial dans la communication des attributs de la masculinité. Ces attributs forment un idéal type qui représente diverses variantes de la masculinité hégémonique. Le portrait type de la masculinité offert aux différents profils sociodémographiques est celui d’un homme caucasien fort, rebelle, consommateur d’alcool et de femmes, qui a réussi et qui prend soin de lui-même, tout en ayant une vision (plutôt) négative de la paternité. Cette valorisation stéréotypée de la masculinité a des effets pervers sur la santé des hommes, alors que l’image commerciale de la masculinité normalise l’objectivation du corps masculin. La recherche conclut que la commercialisation de la masculinité et de ses attributs esthétiques, stéréotypés et hégémoniques globalise l’idéal masculin en le rendant attrayant pour le grand public, alors que peu de place est laissée à des masculinités alternatives et à d'autres façons de comprendre et d'être un homme.

[pt] Método de identificação e quantificação de peptídeos, através da otimização de estratégias para a marcação de peptídeos com metais e subsequente separação por nano-HPLC-UV, MALDI MS. Primeiramente, peptídeos foram marcados com 3 diferentes metais lantanídeos usando um reagente funcional NHS-DOTA. Os resultados demonstraram que a reação de derivatização usando o reagente quelante DOTA foi eficiente para peptídeos simples e misturas dos mesmos, verificada através do MALDI MS a partir da relação m/z. Em paralelo, análises ambientais foram realizadas pela otimização de um procedimento de extração de metalotioneína em bílis de peixe, uma vez que esta matriz tem sido reportada como um biomarcador ambiental de contaminação por metal. Diferentes procedimentos e agentes de redução foram aplicadas para a extração de metalotioneína em bílis e fígado de peixe (Oreochromis niloticus. Análises espectrofotométricas foram realizadas a fim de quantificar os extratos de MT, e gel SDS-PAGE foi usado para avaliação qualitativa dos diferentes procedimentos usados. Cada procedimento foi avaliado estatisticamente. Metodologia de superfície de resposta foi aplicada para amostras de bílis, a fim de avaliar a resposta desta matriz. Em um contexto ambiental, concentrações de MT biliar foi mais baixa que MT do fígado, no entanto, a primeira mostrou-se mais adequada para um monitoramento ambiental. / [en] This work developed a new method for the identification and quantification of peptides, by optimizing some of the available strategies suitable for labeling peptides with lanthanide metals with subsequent separation by nano-HPLC with UV detection, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). First, peptides were labeled with the three different lanthanide metals using a functional DOTA-based reagent. The results demonstrate that the derivatization reaction using the chelating reagent DOTA-NHS-ester was effective for single peptides and peptide mixtures, verified from the m/z relation obtained by MALDI MS. In parallel, environmental analyses were conducted, by performing the standardization of metalloprotein purification in fish bile, since this matrix has been reported as a biomarker for environmental metal contamination. Different procedures and reducing agents were applied to purify MT isolated from fish (Oreochromis niloticus) bile and liver. Spectrophotometrical analyses were used to quantify the resulting MT samples, and SDS-PAGE gels were used to qualitatively assess the different procedure results. A response surface methodology was applied for bile samples. In an environmental context, biliary MT was lower than liver MT, and, bile MT seems to be more adequate in environmental monitoring scopes. / [fr] Ce travail a développé une nouvelle méthode pour l identification et la quantification des peptides, par l optimisation de certaines stratégies disponibles appropriées pour le marquage des peptides avec des métaux lanthanide, une séparation par nano-HPLC et détection UV, et suivi par MALDI MS. Tout d abord, les peptides ont été marqués avec les trois métaux lanthanides différents et un réactif fonctionnel - DOTA. Les résultats montrent que la réaction de transformation en dérivé à l aide du réactif chélateur DOTA-NHS-ester a été efficace pour des peptides individuels et des mélanges de peptides, vérifiées à partir de la relation m/z obtenue par MALDI MS. En parallèle, nous avons effectué l optimisation pour la purification de métalloprotéine dans la bile de poisson, qui est signalée entant que biomarqueurs de contamination métallique de l environnement. Des procédures différentes et les agents réduisant ont été apliqués pour purifier les MT isolées de la bile et du foie des poissons (Oreochromis niloticus). Des analyses spectrophotométriques ont été utilisées pour quantifier les échantillons de MT, et le gel SDS-PAGE a été utilisé pour évaluer qualitativement les différents résultats de la procédure. Chaque procédure a en suíte été évaluée statistiquement, une méhtode des surfaces de réponse a été appliquée. Les MT de la bile semblent être plus adéquate pour la surveillance de l environnement en ce qui concerne l exposition récente à des xénobiotiques qui peuvent influer sur l expression protéomique et metalloproteomique de cette matrice biologique.

Maize is the staple food for a majority of people in Southern Africa, but plant diseases are responsible for at least 10% of crop production losses. Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) of maize was first reported in South Africa in 1949 and has not been reported elsewhere. Very little is known about the pathogen involved and therefore it is deemed necessary to compile a characteristic profile for the pathogen to prevent the possibility of major crop losses as a result of this disease. This study aimed to use biochemical and phenotypic methods to determine the specific characteristics of the causal agent of BLS. Diseased plant material showing symptoms of BLS were collected during the maize production seasons of 2012 and 2013 within South Africa’s maize production regions namely the North West, Free State, Gauteng and Northern Cape provinces. To prevent contamination, maize leaves were surface sterilised thoroughly before bacterial isolation commenced. Sections of the infected maize leaves were placed on GYC agar plates on which yellow, mucoid bacterial colonies after incubation for 24 to 48 hrs. The isolated bacteria were purified and the molecular identification of the bacteria was conducted in a related study. Although literature indicates that Xanthomonas campestris pv. zeae is the causal agent of BLS, pure cultures obtained from maize leaves showing characteristic symptoms of BLS were identified as species of Xanthomonas, Pantoea, and Enterobacter. To elucidate the pathogenicity of the isolated strains, pathogenicity tests based on Koch’s postulates were performed. Results from the pathogenicity tests confirmed that only the isolate Xanthomonas species was capable of inducing the characteristic BLS symptoms when healthy maize plants were inoculated with the suspected pathogens. It is important to inoculate the maize seedlings at the correct age (four-leaf stage) and the spray method is recommended. Re-isolation was repeated from the same plant material used during the initial isolation process but the isolation method was amended. The optimised isolation method involved the use of a dilution range and spread plate method. Colonies from this isolation technique grew as bright yellow colonies that were identified as Xanthomonas spp. This outcome indicates the importance of surface sterilisation, pulverisation and subsequent dilution of plant materials for isolation of bacterial pathogens from diseases plants. These isolates were used to create protein profiles with SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and carbon utilisation patterns with the Biolog® GN2 system. Protein profiling banding patterns was assessed based on presence/absence criteria. Highly similar protein profiles were observed among the X. campestris pv. zeae isolates but groupings of different protein profiles were determined when minor differences in the protein profiles was taken into account. Xanthomonas campestris pv. zeae was successfully distinguished from the X. axonopodis pv. vasculorum reference strain through unique SDS banding patterns. Banding patterns obtained from cultures grown in a liquid medium (tryptic soy broth) were of a higher quality than the banding patterns obtained from bacteria harvested from solid media (CYG agar plates). Carbon source utilisation data was used to evaluate the average well colour development obtained from each isolate. Statistically significant differences were found among some of the isolates, with some isolates being metabolically more active than other isolates. Substrate utilisation patterns produced by the isolates corresponded to previously published studies on various Xanthomonas species. The cell count of the samples used during carbon utilisation patterns must be standardised in order to obtain reliable results. During this study, the application of Koch’s postulates and two inoculation techniques confirmed that Xanthomonas campestris pv. zeae is the pathogen responsible for bacterial leaf streak of maize. Members of the Pantoea and Enterobacter genera were found on the leaf surface of maize plants infected with BLS but inoculations of healthy maize plants with these bacteria did not result in bacterial leaf streak symptoms on the maize plants.

Maize is the staple food for a majority of people in Southern Africa, but plant diseases are responsible for at least 10% of crop production losses. Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) of maize was first reported in South Africa in 1949 and has not been reported elsewhere. Very little is known about the pathogen involved and therefore it is deemed necessary to compile a characteristic profile for the pathogen to prevent the possibility of major crop losses as a result of this disease. This study aimed to use biochemical and phenotypic methods to determine the specific characteristics of the causal agent of BLS. Diseased plant material showing symptoms of BLS were collected during the maize production seasons of 2012 and 2013 within South Africa’s maize production regions namely the North West, Free State, Gauteng and Northern Cape provinces. To prevent contamination, maize leaves were surface sterilised thoroughly before bacterial isolation commenced. Sections of the infected maize leaves were placed on GYC agar plates on which yellow, mucoid bacterial colonies after incubation for 24 to 48 hrs. The isolated bacteria were purified and the molecular identification of the bacteria was conducted in a related study. Although literature indicates that Xanthomonas campestris pv. zeae is the causal agent of BLS, pure cultures obtained from maize leaves showing characteristic symptoms of BLS were identified as species of Xanthomonas, Pantoea, and Enterobacter. To elucidate the pathogenicity of the isolated strains, pathogenicity tests based on Koch’s postulates were performed. Results from the pathogenicity tests confirmed that only the isolate Xanthomonas species was capable of inducing the characteristic BLS symptoms when healthy maize plants were inoculated with the suspected pathogens. It is important to inoculate the maize seedlings at the correct age (four-leaf stage) and the spray method is recommended. Re-isolation was repeated from the same plant material used during the initial isolation process but the isolation method was amended. The optimised isolation method involved the use of a dilution range and spread plate method. Colonies from this isolation technique grew as bright yellow colonies that were identified as Xanthomonas spp. This outcome indicates the importance of surface sterilisation, pulverisation and subsequent dilution of plant materials for isolation of bacterial pathogens from diseases plants. These isolates were used to create protein profiles with SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and carbon utilisation patterns with the Biolog® GN2 system. Protein profiling banding patterns was assessed based on presence/absence criteria. Highly similar protein profiles were observed among the X. campestris pv. zeae isolates but groupings of different protein profiles were determined when minor differences in the protein profiles was taken into account. Xanthomonas campestris pv. zeae was successfully distinguished from the X. axonopodis pv. vasculorum reference strain through unique SDS banding patterns. Banding patterns obtained from cultures grown in a liquid medium (tryptic soy broth) were of a higher quality than the banding patterns obtained from bacteria harvested from solid media (CYG agar plates). Carbon source utilisation data was used to evaluate the average well colour development obtained from each isolate. Statistically significant differences were found among some of the isolates, with some isolates being metabolically more active than other isolates. Substrate utilisation patterns produced by the isolates corresponded to previously published studies on various Xanthomonas species. The cell count of the samples used during carbon utilisation patterns must be standardised in order to obtain reliable results. During this study, the application of Koch’s postulates and two inoculation techniques confirmed that Xanthomonas campestris pv. zeae is the pathogen responsible for bacterial leaf streak of maize. Members of the Pantoea and Enterobacter genera were found on the leaf surface of maize plants infected with BLS but inoculations of healthy maize plants with these bacteria did not result in bacterial leaf streak symptoms on the maize plants. These bacteria were not pathogenic and were considered endophytes. The identified pathogen was characterised through protein and metabolic profiling. The protein profiles of the pathogen obtained through analysis of the major bands of the SDS-PAGE gels were highly similar and distinguishable from the Xanthomonas reference culture. Groupings within the X. campestris pv. zeae group was found when major and minor bands were considered, this may however be altered when the intensities of the bands are used during analysis. Carbon utilisation patterns were assessed using Biolog® GN2 plates. A metabolic fingerprint was created for the pathogen of BLS, it was possible to distinguish between X. campestris pv. zeae and other Xanthomonas strains based on the fingerprint. This fingerprint could be used to identify the pathogen. / MSc (Environmental Sciences), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
