细菌L型的厌氧诱导和培养

厌氧条件下以羧卡青霉素诱导金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌和蜡样芽胞杆菌形成Ｌ型,观察细菌Ｌ型在厌氧条件下的形成、形态、生长及时渗透压的敏感性等特性。结果表明：蜡样芽胞杆菌在厌氧条件下不能形成Ｌ型或其Ｌ型在厌氧条件下亦不能返祖。金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌在厌氧条件下虽能诱生Ｌ型,但形成丝状体的构成Ｌ型菌落难以传代培养,厌氧培养未见Ｌ型圆球体和典型Ｌ型油煎蛋样菌落。金黄色葡萄球菌Ｌ型在含１％～１０％ＮａＣｌ的Ｌ型培养基上可生长形成Ｌ型菌落或非菌落形式存在的Ｌ型巨形体;大肠杆菌和蜡样芽胞杆菌的Ｌ型在含２％～６％ＮａＣｌ的Ｌ型培养基上可生长形成Ｌ型菌落或非菌落形式存在的Ｌ型巨形体。涂片染色或返祖试验证实细菌Ｌ型在含０．５％ＮａＣｌ的Ｌ型培养基或常规细菌学培养基上亦可生存。非菌落性Ｌ型巨形体和丝形体是细菌Ｌ型在琼脂培养基上广泛的存在形式。

野生东亚钳蝎消化道可培养细菌的分离鉴定、耐药性及产消化酶活性

目的分离东亚钳蝎消化道中的可培养细菌,并研究其产消化酶活性和耐药性,探讨消化道细菌对东亚钳蝎消化食物的影响。方法野生东亚钳蝎采用传统细菌分离培养方法分离其消化道内可培养细菌,利用16S rRNA序列进行细菌的分子鉴定;利用平板透明圈法测定可培养细菌产淀粉酶、蛋白酶、脂肪酶和纤维素酶等消化酶的活性;采用药敏纸片扩散法进行消化道可培养细菌的药敏试验。结果在东亚钳蝎消化道中共分离到4个属10种细菌,其中芽胞杆菌属7种,分别为蛋白水解芽胞杆菌、解淀粉芽胞杆菌、巨大芽胞杆菌、枯草芽胞杆菌、蜡样芽胞杆菌、婴儿芽胞杆菌和长形赖氨酸芽胞杆菌;葡萄球菌属、纤维微菌属和短波单胞菌属各1株,分别为松鼠葡萄球菌、纤维化纤维微细菌和泡囊短波单胞菌。对10种细菌的产消化酶活性分析表明,8种细菌有产消化酶活性,占细菌总数的80%;5种细菌有产蛋白酶活性,分别为蛋白水解芽胞杆菌、枯草芽胞杆菌、蜡样芽胞杆菌、松鼠葡萄球菌和纤维化纤维微细菌;7种细菌有产淀粉酶活性,分别为蛋白水解芽胞杆菌、解淀粉芽胞杆菌、巨大芽胞杆菌、枯草芽胞杆菌、蜡样芽胞杆菌、松鼠葡萄球菌和婴儿芽胞杆菌;未筛选到产纤维素酶和脂肪酶活性的细菌;蛋白水解芽胞杆菌、枯草芽胞杆菌、蜡样芽胞杆菌和松鼠葡萄球菌可同时产2种消化酶。在药敏试验中,8种细菌对多粘菌素B耐药,5种细菌对四环素耐药,3种细菌对万古霉素耐药。结论东亚钳蝎消化道中可培养细菌的组成相对单一,多数细菌有分泌淀粉酶和蛋白酶的功能,说明东亚钳蝎消化道中的细菌可能有协助其进行食物消化的功能。消化道细菌对抗生素多表现为敏感,推测其生存环境中抗生素的污染较少,同时在对东亚钳蝎人工饲养的场所进行消毒时,要谨慎选择抗生素,防止抗生素使用不当致使东亚钳蝎肠道菌群紊乱引起疾病。

致病性大肠杆菌和蜡样芽胞杆菌的分离鉴定

【背景】猪只消化道疾病是养猪业上一大重要疾病,给养猪业带来一定的经济损失。大肠杆菌是引起猪腹泻的一种常见病原菌,可以引起不同日龄的猪腹泻,但主要以幼龄猪为主。【目的】旨在分离鉴定引起四川省眉山市一规模化养猪场病猪大规模腹泻的病原菌。【方法】采用常规细菌分离方法结合16S rRNA基因序列的分析方法从发病猪肝脏、胃以及污染的饲料分离鉴定细菌,并对分离株进行小鼠致病性试验、16S rRNA基因遗传进化树分析、毒力基因的检测、药物敏感试验。【结果】从腹泻猪肝脏中分离到一株致病性大肠杆菌,胃中分离到一株蜡样芽胞杆菌,并且追溯到传染源是该猪场饲料。通过检测这两株菌相应的毒力基因发现大肠杆菌不属于肠外致病性型,蜡样芽胞杆菌检测到了nheA、nheB、nheC、bceT、entFM 5种毒力基因;药敏试验表明常规的氨基糖苷类和头孢类抗生素对大肠杆菌抑菌效果较好,红霉素、氟苯尼考、头孢氨苄、头孢哌酮对蜡样芽胞杆菌抑菌效果较好,而蜡样芽胞杆菌对青霉素、阿莫西林等常规药物不敏感。【结论】饲料存在大肠杆菌和蜡样芽胞杆菌的混合污染。     

细胞壁缺陷白喉棒状杆菌致病作用的观察及其毒力基因检测

目的比较白喉棒状杆菌亲代细菌型及其稳定L型动物致病性的差异,了解白喉棒状杆菌稳定L型变异的特点,探讨其变异的性质及其与细胞壁缺陷突变的关系。方法用氨苄青霉素在非高渗培养基内人工诱导产毒性白喉棒状杆菌为稳定L型。采用白喉棒状杆菌稳定L型纯培养物及其代谢产物皮内感染家兔,观察局部感染部位皮肤或全身的病理改变。采用微量法提取白喉棒状杆菌稳定L型的染色体DNA,用Tox基因特异性引物进行PCR扩增以检测毒素蛋白结构基因,并进行序列测定和分析。结果白喉棒状杆菌在氨苄青霉素作用下可发生细胞壁缺陷而成为L型,白喉棒状杆菌稳定L型不能引起动物局部或全身发生异常表现,该稳定L型的传代培养物可仍然保留同其亲代细菌型一致的Tox基因及其核苷酸序列。结论提示细胞壁缺失将导致白喉棒状杆菌与产生毒素蛋白有关结构基因在宿主菌细胞内的表达受到抑制,以致使白喉棒状杆菌稳定L型丧失了产生外毒素致病的作用。     

PlcR在炭疽芽胞杆菌A16R中的功能研究

炭疽芽胞杆菌(Bacillus anthracis)、蜡样芽胞杆菌(B. cereus)和苏云金芽胞杆菌(B. thuringiensis)均属于蜡样芽胞杆菌群,在遗传学上有很高的相似性。PlcR (Phospholipase C regulator)在蜡样芽胞杆菌中是十分重要的调控因子,但plcR基因在炭疽芽胞杆菌中发生一个无义突变导致在炭疽芽胞杆菌中产生一个截短PlcR蛋白。为了研究plcR基因对炭疽芽胞杆菌功能的影响,文章以蜡样芽胞杆菌CMCC6330基因组为模板,构建重组表达质粒pBE2A-plcR后导入炭疽芽胞杆菌疫苗株A16R中获得重组菌株,对其进行表型分析。结果显示,炭疽芽胞杆菌重组菌株的溶血活性基本没有恢复,但恢复了部分神经鞘磷脂酶活性,表明将蜡样芽胞杆菌的plcR基因导入炭疽芽胞杆菌后,可以直接激活神经鞘磷脂酶活性。

So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.
