Note on quantum dynamical entropies
No full textClassical dynamical entropy is an important tool to analyse the efficiency of information transmission in communication processes. Quantum dynamical entropy was first studied by Connes, Størmer and Emch. Since then, there have been many attempts to formulate or compute the dynamical entropy for some models. Here we review four formulations due to
1.(a) Connes, Narnhofer and Thirring,
2.(b) Ohya,
3.(c) Accardi, Ohya and Watanabe,
4.(d) Alicki and Fannes.
We consider mutual relations between these formulations and we show some concrete computations for a model

Sulfuriferula thiophila sp nov., a chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, and correction of the name Sulfuriferula plumbophilus Watanabe, Kojima and Fukui 2015 to Sulfuriferula plumbiphila corrig.
No full textA novel sulfur-oxidizing bacterium designated strain mst6(T) was isolated from spring water of Masutomi hot spring in Japan. The cells were rod-shaped (1.2-4.0 x 0.5-0.7 mm) and Gram-stain-negative. The G+C content of genomic DNA was around 52.6 mol%. The isolate possessed summed feature 3 (C-16 : 1 omega 7c and/or C-16 : 1 omega 6c), C-16 : 0 and C-12 : 0 as major cellular fatty acids. Strain mst6(T) grew by inorganic carbon fixation and oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds with oxygen as an electron acceptor. The isolate grew over a temperature range of 5-34 degrees C, a NaCl concentration range of 0-110 mM and a pH range of 4.6-8.1. Optimum growth occurred at 32 degrees C, in the absence of NaCl and at pH 5.9-6.2. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain mst6(T) belongs to the family Sulfuricellaceae in the class Betaproteobacteria. The closest cultured relative was Sulfuriferula multivorans TTNT with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.0 %. On the basis of the data obtained in this study, strain mst6(T) represents a novel species of the genus Sulfuriferula, for which the name Sulfuriferula thiophila sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is mst6(T) (=NBRC 111150(T) =DSM 101871(T)). In addition, we propose correcting the name Sulfuriferula plumbophilus Watanabe, Kojima and Fukui 2015 to Sulfuriferula plumbiphila corrig. based on Rule 12c, Rule 61 and Appendix 9 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes

Mariannaea imbricata D. Hirose & K. Watanabe 2021, sp. nov.
No full textMariannaea imbricata D. Hirose & K. Watanabe sp. nov. (Figure 3) MycoBank no.: 840111 Description: Sexual morph not observed. Colony diam., 7 d, in mm (average): PDA: 5˚ C (2), 10˚ C (8), 15˚ C (11), 20˚ C (26), 25˚ C (31), 30˚ C (31), and 35˚ C (no growth); MEA: 25˚ C (34). Colonies on PDA at 25˚ C, matted felt at center, indistinctly zonate, with undulate margins, irregularly oriented and coarsely undulated, producing radially oriented fan-shaped structures from the center to margin, amber with white margin and reverse sienna with white margin. Colonies on MEA at 25 ° C, matted felt at center, indistinctly zonate, with undulate margins, irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate, producing radially oriented fan-shaped structures from center to margin, white with ochreous margin, and reverse umber with fulvous margin. On PDA: hyphae 1.4‒6.3 µm wide, hyaline, smooth, thin-walled, branched and septate. Conidiophores 167.7‒798.4 µm (mean 451.0 µm, n = 50) long, 3.7‒8.5 µm (mean 6.1 µm, n = 50) wide at the basal cell, generally macronematous, mononematous, erect, septate, smooth thin-walled, hyaline, bearing short branches with 1–2 whorls of 2–5 phialides, or phialides formed in verticils on long main stalk. Phialides 6.2‒16.9 × 1.2‒2.4 (mean 10.4 × 1.7 µm, L / W 6.2, n = 50), typically slender flask-shaped, hyaline and smooth-walled. Conidia 4.7‒10.9 × 1.8‒3.2 µm (mean 6.2 × 2.5 µm, L / W 2.5, n = 50), generally fusiform to ellipsoidal, hyaline, smooth and thin-walled, aseptate and produced in imbricate chains. Chlamydospores 7.2‒22.2 × 4.6‒12.3 µm (mean 10.8 × 6.2 µm, L / W 1.7, n = 50), intercalary or terminal, produced singly or in short chains, globose to sub-globose, hyaline and thick-walled. Etymology: The epithet “imbricata” refers to the irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate morphology from the center to margins of colonies grown on PDA and MEA. Type: Sugadaira, Nagano, Japan, 2008, isolated from the decayed needles of Pinus densiflora (Holotype, TNS-F- 91410, dried culture on PDA; ex-type culture, NBRC 33105). Notes: Mariannaea imbricata is morphologically similar to M. atlantica, M. fusiformis, M. punicea, and M. terricola, but can be distinguished from these congeners by its slender flask-shaped phialides with a smooth-walled texture. The colonies are characterized by an amber to white pigmentation on PDA and a central matted felt texture, and with the center to margins irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate on PDA and MEA. This species does not form reddish-purple colonies. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS and TUB-2 sequences can also be used to distinguish these species.Published as part of Watanabe, Kohei & Hirose, Dai, 2021, A novel Mariannaea species isolated from decayed pine needles in Japan, pp. 211-220 in Phytotaxa 522 (3) on pages 217-218, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.522.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/556041
