In model experíments with isolated water-soluble proteins of chloroplasts the interaction of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPC), plastocyanin (PC), cytochrome / (cyt f) and ferredoxin (Fd) was studied. The acetylthiocholine (AThCh) hydrolysis by AChE was stimulated by other proteins by 20-200 %. Maximal effect was observed after the addition of PC. AChE itself did not affect redox capability of the electron transport carriers. The RuBPC activity was inhibited by 70 % on the AChE increase in the reaction medium. The level of inhibition was higher in the presence of the AChE inhibitors physostigmine and neostigmine, as well as the catecholamine noradrenaline. Biomediators acetylcholine (ACh), noradrenaline, adrenaline and the anticholinesterase drugs neostigmine and physostigmine slightly (by 5-20 %) inhibited the C02-fixing enzyme activity. Mutual regulation of AChE and RuBPC may exist in chloroplasts.

Sarcocysts were found in muscle tissue of a wisent (Bison bonasus) which was born and kept in Germany. Light microscopic and ТЕМ examination revealed all the Ihrcc named species known from cattle: Sarcocystis cruzi („thin-walled“, with longer hairlike villar protrusions of the primary cyst wall); S. hirsuta („thick-walled“, with tongue-like protrusions of the cyst wall arising with very short and narrow stalklets from the surface of the cyst and containing rows of electron-dense granules in the core); and S. hominis („thick-walled“, with fmger-like protrusions of the cyst wall not constricted at their base and containing few or no electron-dense granules). So far, only S. cruzi was known to occur in Bison bison in North America. The findings in the wisent strikingly support a modified conception of the intermediate host specificity in Bovinae. In this connection the identity of S. cruzi and S. poephagicanis is suggested as well as that of S. hirsuta and S. poepliagi.
