五种淡水轮虫种群增长参数的比较研究

在32℃培养条件下,实验研究了5种淡水常见浮游轮虫的种群增长参数。通过编制生命表计算其内禀增长率rm(h-1)、净生殖力(R0)和世代时间T(h)分别为:萼花臂尾轮虫-0.091、14.1和34.1;壶状臂尾轮虫-0.055、6.9和38.4;角突臂尾轮虫-0.035、4.9和50.9;臂尾水轮虫-0.038、4.3和46.1以及裂足臂尾轮虫-0.017、2.1和43.7。其中,萼花臂尾轮虫内禀增长率大,繁殖率高,可作为批量培养的首选种类。       

不同pH条件下5种臂尾轮虫（Brachionus）的生殖代价

研究了5种臂尾轮虫(萼花臂尾轮虫、方形臂尾轮虫、壶状臂尾轮虫、十指臂尾轮虫和角突臂尾轮虫)在不同pH条件下(pH 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)当前繁殖(mx)与未来存活(lx 1)、未来生殖(mx 1)和残余生殖价(V*x)的相关关系.结果表明,5种臂尾轮虫存活代价的相关系数在初始几个日龄组表现为正相关或负相关,在随后的大部分日龄组中,均表现为负相关,直至整个生命周期.相对于存活代价,5种臂尾轮虫繁殖代价和残余生殖代价的相关系数的变化幅度较大,但整体趋势仍就是大部分呈现负相关.因此可以推断,轮虫在不同pH条件下存在存活代价、繁殖代价和残余生殖代价.mx与lx 1对日龄组的回归分析有100%回归关系显著,mx与mx 1有97%回归关系显著,而mx与V*x有93%回归关系显著.因此推断,轮虫在不同pH条件下存活代价、繁殖代价和残余生殖代价的负相关性随着日龄组的增加而逐步增加.结果还发现,某些种类的轮虫(方形臂尾轮虫、壶状臂尾轮虫和十指臂尾轮虫)在胁迫的pH(酸性或碱性)条件下,其存活代价、繁殖代价和残余生殖代价较适宜pH(中性)条件下更为显著.     

四种臂尾轮虫线粒体COⅠ基因部分序列及系统发育关系

红臂尾轮虫和壶状臂尾轮虫生活史特征比较

应用单个体培养方法,以浓度为3．0×10^6 cells／ml的斜生栅藻（Scenedesmus obliquus）为食物,在18、23、28℃和33℃下,对分类存疑种类红臂尾轮虫（Brachionus rubens）和壶状臂尾轮虫（B．urceolaris）的生活史特征进行了比较研究。结果表明,随着温度的升高,两种轮虫的生殖前期和生殖期历时、平均寿命、世代时间和生命期望均逐渐显著地缩短,而种群内禀增长率却极显著地增大。红臂尾轮虫在28℃下的生殖后期历时与23℃和33℃间均无显著的差异,壶状臂尾轮虫在28℃和33℃下的生殖后期历时也无显著的差异。红臂尾轮虫的产卵量和净生殖率均在33℃下最小,在其他3个温度间都无显著的差异;壶状臂尾轮虫的产卵量和净生殖率均在33℃下最小,28℃下最大。18、23℃和28℃下红臂尾轮虫的生殖前期历时、平均寿命、生命期望和世代时间都显著短于壶状臂尾轮虫,而生殖期历时在两者间无显著差异;33℃下红臂尾轮虫的生殖期历时、平均寿命、生命期望和世代时间都显著长于壶状臂尾轮虫,而生殖前期历时在两者间无显著差异。各温度下,红臂尾轮虫的产卵量、种群内禀增长率和净生殖率均极显著地高于壶状臂尾轮虫,但两种轮虫的生殖后期历时无显著的差异。红臂尾轮虫偏向于r-对策者,体现在其较低的生命期望、较高的繁殖率和种群增长率;而壶状臂尾轮虫则显示出较高的生命期望、较低的种群增长率和繁殖率,偏向于k-对策者。

基于rDNAITS序列分析莲塘湖萼花臂尾轮虫两种形态型的分类地位

轮虫的周期变形是指种群内出现的轮虫形态随时间推移而发生的周期性变化,包括轮虫个体大小的变化、轮虫后棘刺或后侧棘刺的有无及长度的变化等。广泛存在的周期变形使轮虫的分类更加复杂。利用分子标记对不同形态型轮虫的遗传分化进行研究将有助于正确认识它们的分类地位。为此,研究对采自芜湖市莲塘湖水体中萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)30个有棘刺型(Spined morphotype)的克隆(S1-S30)和18个无棘刺型(Unspined morphotype)的克隆(U1-U18)进行了rDNA ITS序列分析;以十指臂尾轮虫(B.patulus)为外群,构建了48个克隆的系统发生树(NJ、MP、ML和贝叶斯树)。结果表明,所测48个克隆共包括16个单元型。在ITS序列中,T、C、A、G碱基的平均含量分别为28.6%、18.7%、35.9%、16.8%,其中A+T含量为64.5%,C+G含量为35.5%。单元型U12与其他单元型间的序列差异百分比为26.2%-26.6%,平均为26.47%;其中,发生在ITS1、5.8S和ITS2区间的序列差异百分比分别为26.9%-27.8%、2.9%-3.5%和44.4%-45.0%,平均依次为27.27%、3.09%和44.48%。而其他单元型间平均序列差异百分比为0.41%。4个系统树均支持将48个克隆分为2个支系:无棘刺型克隆U12独成一支,无棘刺型的其余克隆与所有有棘刺型克隆构成另一支系。单元型U12与其他单元型应分别属于两个不同的姐妹种;但两种形态型并非不同的亚种或互为姐妹种,它们间的形态差异主要由表型可塑性引起。

Molecular characterization of Serratia marcescens strains by RFLP and sequencing of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer

AIMS: To establish the specific DNA patterns in 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) regions from different kinds of Serratia marcescens strains using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequences analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two pairs of primers based on the 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA IGS were applied to amplify the rrn operons of two kinds of S. marcescens strains. About 1500 bp for 16S rDNA and four fragments of different sizes for 16S-23S rDNA IGS were obtained. PCR-amplified fragments were analysed by RFLP and sequence analysis. Two distinct restriction patterns revealing three to five bands between two kinds of strains were detected with each specific enzyme. According to the sequence analysis, two kinds of strains showed approximately 97% sequence homology of 16S rDNA. However, there was much difference in the sequences of IGS between the two kinds of strains. Intercistronic tRNA of strains H3010 and A3 demonstrated an order of tRNA of 5'-16S-tRNA(Ala)-tRNA(Ile)-23S-3', but strain B17 harboured the tRNA of 5'-16S-tRNA(Glu)-tRNA(Ile)-23S-3'. CONCLUSIONS: The method was specific, sensitive and accurate, providing a new technique for differentiating different strains from the same species. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This paper provided the first molecular characterization of 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA IGS from S. marcescens strains.     

Polymerase chain reaction assay for the detection of Bacillus cereus group cells

Recent investigations have shown that members of the Bacillus cereus group carry genes which have the potential to cause gastrointestinal and somatic diseases. Although most cases of diseases caused by the B. cereus group bacteria are relatively mild, it is desirable to be able to detect members of the B. cereus group in food and in the environment. Using 16S rDNA as target, a PCR assay for the detection of B. cereus group cells has been developed. Primers specific for the 16S rDNA of the B. cereus group bacteria were selected and used in combination with consensus primers for 16S rDNA as internal PCR procedure control. The PCR procedure was optimized with respect to annealing temperature. When DNA from the B. cereus group bacteria was present, the PCR assay yielded a B. cereus specific fragment, while when non-B. cereus prokaryotic DNA was present, the consensus 16S rDNA primers directed synthesis of the PCR products. The PCR analyses with DNA from a number of non-B. cereus confirmed the specificity of the PCR assay.     

Cloning and sequencing of 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA internal spacer region (ISR) from urease-positive thermophilic Campylobacter (UPTC)

AIMS: To clone and sequence the 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA internal spacer region (ISR) from urease-positive thermophilic Campylobacter (UPTC). METHODS AND RESULTS: The primer sets for 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA ISR amplified almost the full length of 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA ISR. About 1500 bp for 16S rDNA and about 720 bp for 16S-23S rDNA ISR of the rrn operon of four strains of UPTC were identified after molecular cloning and sequencing. CONCLUSIONS: The four strains and CCUG18267 of UPTC showed approximately 99% sequence homology of 16S rDNA to each other, 96-97% to Camp. coli, 97-98% to Camp. jejuni and 97-98% to Camp. lari. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: For the first time, the nucleotide sequence of 16S-23S rDNA ISR of UPTC has been analysed. The sequence of ISR was almost identical among the four strains of UPTC. It is interesting that the UPTC intercistronic tRNAs demonstrated an order of tRNA of 5'-16S-tRNAAla-tRNAIle-23S-3' in the organisms.     

基于16S rDNA序列的Wolbachia的检测及分型

Wolbachia是广泛分布于节肢动物体内的一类共生细菌。采用16S rDNA特异片段的PCR-RFLP方法对烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci （Gennadius）不同生物型及米蛾Corcyra cephalonica （Stainton）共生菌Wolbachia进行了检测与分型分析。基于wsp基因对烟粉虱共生菌B组Wolbachia以及米蛾共生菌Wolbachia进行了系统树分析,并对相应的Wolbachia16S rDNA特异片段进行了克隆、测序以及序列比对。结果表明:16S rDNA的特异片段经NheⅠ酶切后RFLP图谱可有效检测与鉴别Wolbachia。烟粉虱共生菌Wolbachia的16S rDNA特异片段经VspⅠ酶切后可得到预期RFLP图谱,而米蛾共生菌B组Wolbachia （基于wsp序列分析为B组）则产生不同的RFLP图谱。序列分析表明,Nauru型烟粉虱体内B组Wolbachia的16S rDNA片段序列与已知B组Wolbachia对应序列（DQ278884）同源性为100%;米蛾体内B组Wolbachia 16S rDNA特异片段有碱基变异,并存在于VspⅠ识别位点内,这是导致VspⅠ酶切后RFLP图谱不同的原因。结果提示,B组Wolbachia 16S rDNA特异片段经VspⅠ酶切的RFLP图谱存在多态性。本研究结果可为今后Wolbachia的检测与分型提供借鉴。

Correlation of 16S ribosomal DNA signature sequences with temperature-dependent growth rates of mesophilic and psychrotolerant strains of the Bacillus cereus group

Sequences of the 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from psychrotolerant and mesophilic strains of the Bacillus cereus group revealed signatures which were specific for these two thermal groups of bacteria. Further analysis of the genomic DNA from a wide range of food and soil isolates showed that B. cereus group strains have between 6 and 10 copies of 16S rDNA. Moreover, a number of these environmental strains have both rDNA operons with psychrotolerant signatures and rDNA operons with mesophilic signatures. The ability of these isolates to grow at low temperatures correlates with the prevalence of rDNA operons with psychrotolerant signatures, indicating specific nucleotides within the 16S rRNA to play a role in psychrotolerance.     

Functional grouping of thermophilic Bacillus strains using amplification profiles of the 16S-23S internal spacer region

Molecular and biochemical assays were used to determine the identification of thermophilic bacilli isolated from New Zealand milk powder. One hundred and forty one isolates of thermophilic bacilli were classified into six species using biochemical profiles. Geobacillus stearothermophilus represented 56% of the isolates. All isolates were also analysed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, with 45 types identified. Amplification of the 16S-23S rDNA internal spacer region produced two to eight amplification products per strain. The patterns from gel electrophoresis of the internal spacer region amplicons formed two major groupings suggesting the possibility of two distinct species. Partial sequences of 16S rDNA from representatives from each group were compared with sequences in GeneBank and were found to match the 16S rDNA sequences of B. flavothermus and G. thermoleovorans. Primers were designed for these species and used to screen an arbitrary selection of 59 of the dairy isolates. This enabled the identification of 28 isolates as B. flavothermus and 31 isolates as Geobacillus species and these appear to be the predominant isolates in the New Zealand milk powder samples examined. Comparison of the fragment pattern generated by amplification of the 16S-23S rDNA internal spacer region is a simple method to differentiate thermophilic Bacillus species associated with the dairy industry.     

Species specific identification of nine human Bifidobacterium spp. in feces

Based on the 16S rDNA sequences, species specific primers were designed for the rapid identification by DNA amplification of nine human Bifidobacterium spp., namely B. adolescentis, B. angulatum, B. bifidum, B. breve, B. catenulatum, B. dentium, B. infantis, B. longum, B. pseudocatenulatum. B. lactis currently included in dairy products was added to the series. The primers were designed to target different positions of the 16S rDNA, allowing the simultaneous identification of these ten species of Bifidobacterium using two mixtures of primers. The identification procedure described in this paper was validated by establishing a correlation with an AluI restriction pattern of the different full length amplified 16S rDNA. This multiple primer DNA amplification technique was applied for the identification of pure colonies of Bifidobacterium spp. or directly from total bacteria recovered from human fecal samples. The technique was shown to be useful to detect dominant species and, when primers were used in separate reactions, underrepresented species could be identified as well.
