3. Inescapable choice : Wallace Stevens's new Romanticism and English romantic poetry

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how Stevens creates a new Romanticism. It argues that Stevens demonstrates a double view of Romanticism as having positive and negative aspects and it relates discussion of this double view to the development of his poetry and theories of poetry. Stevens shares with the Romantics the belief that through the power of imagination the problem of dualism - especially the split between art and existential reality - can be solved. Prom Stevens's perspective, thinking about what should be respected and what should be corrected in Romanticism provides grounds for the creation of his own new Romanticism. In chapters one and two, by examining the conflict between imagination and reality in the works of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats, I explore the intertextual relations between Stevens and the Romantics from a perspective informed by the implications of Stevens's work and thought. In chapters three and four, focusing on Stevens's treatment of the relation between imagination and reality, I examine the nuanced differences between his work and that of the Romantics. Chapter five provides a prologue to 'Notes toward a Supreme Fiction', the culmination of Stevens's concern with imagination and reality. In the final chapter I examine how Stevens's new Romanticism, especially its emphasis on the imagination's activity, is concretised in 'Notes toward a Supreme Fiction'. I also explore how the later development of his sense of reality affects his poetic creativity. By examining the influence of the Romantics on Stevens and his response to them, the nature of his poetry can be more accurately understood. Throughout the thesis, I engage, as appropriate, with the work of many critics who have written on Stevens. It is my hope that my own approach gives a folly considered and detailed account of a topic often addressed more briefly by other commentators.

Abstract

Rhodococcus qingshengii CS98 is a bacterium isolated from soil in Japan that shows strong cesium-accumulating ability. The genome sequence of R. qingshengii CS98 was 6,726,107 bp in total length, G+C average content of 62.4% and comprised a circular chromosome (6,240,414 bp) and a linear plasmid (485,693 bp). The genome was predicted a total of 6,255 protein-coding sequences (CDSs), 59 tRNAs and 5 rRNA operons (5S/16S/23S). The complete genome sequence of R. qingshengii CS98 represents a valuable resource for future comparative genomic analysis and will help elucidate the genetic basis of bioremediation features.

11. Cesium accumulation and growth characteristics of Rhodococcus erythropolis CS98 and Rhodococcus sp. strain CS402

Abstract

Two cesium-accumulating soil bacteria, Rhodococcus sp. strain CS402 and R. erythropolis CS98, accumulate rich concentrations of cesium on incubation with 0.5 mM of cesium for 24 hours. The optimum pH value for cesium intake was 8.5. Potassium and rubidium suppress cesium deposition in both the strains, indicating the presence of a potassium transport channel for cesium accumulation.

12. Isolation and characterization of cesium-accumulating bacteria

Abstract

Two strains of bacteria, CS98 and CS402 of the genus Rhodococcus, with the ability to accumulate cesium, were isolated and characterized. The strains had a high-level ability to accumulate cesium, however, the accumulatedcesium was released after 24 and 48 hours for CS98 and CS402, respectively. CS98 and CS402 were able to concentrate cesium with maximum concentration factors of 3.5 x 10(super 4) and 3.6 x 10(super 3), respectively. It is expected that the two strains can be used for the removal and monitoring of radioactive cesium in natural environments.

Abstract

Bacterial production has been often estimated from DNA synthesis rates by using tritium-labeled thymidine. Some bacteria species cannot incorporate extracellular thymidine into their DNA, suggesting their biomass production might be overlooked when using the conventional method. In the present study, to evaluate appropriateness of deoxyribonucleosides for evaluating bacterial production of natural bacterial communities from the viewpoint of DNA synthesis, incorporation rates of four deoxyribonucleosides (thymidine, deoxyadenosine, deoxyguanosine and deoxycytidine) labeled by nitrogen stable isotope (15N) into bacterial DNA were examined in both ocean (Sagami Bay) and freshwater (Lake Kasumigaura) ecosystems in July 2015 and January 2016. In most stations in Sagami Bay and Lake Kasumigaura, we found that incorporation rates of deoxyguanosine were the highest among those of the four deoxyribonucleosides, and the incorporation rate of deoxyguanosine was approximately 2.5 times higher than that of thymidine. Whereas, incorporation rates of deoxyadenosine and deoxycytidine were 0.9 and 0.2 times higher than that of thymidine. These results clearly suggest that the numbers of bacterial species which can incorporate exogenous deoxyguanosine into their DNA are relatively greater as compared to the other deoxyribonucleosides, and measurement of bacterial production using deoxyguanosine more likely reflects larger numbers of bacterial species productions.
