拉恩氏菌W25对缓冲容量的响应及其产酸特性

【目的】进一步了解拉恩氏菌W25的溶磷机理和对土壤缓冲容量的响应。【方法】在液体摇瓶培养过程中,采用调节培养液pH的方法研究模拟土壤的缓冲容量对拉恩氏菌W25溶磷量的影响;通过单因子试验和HPLC相结合的方法,研究不同碳源、磷源条件下W25的溶磷能力及产酸特性。【结果】拉恩氏菌W25在磷酸三钙培养液中培养120 h后有效磷含量达到最大值,培养液有效磷含量与培养液pH变化之间呈极显著负相关性(P<0.01);W25在培养第48?96 h具有较强的缓冲能力,培养液有效磷含量加碱处理与未加碱处理差异不显著(P<0.05),从第120 h开始,缓冲能力开始减弱,在168 h后基本丧失了缓冲能力;W25在不同碳源条件下溶磷能力差异显著(P<0.05),依次为葡萄糖>乳糖>蔗糖>甘露醇>淀粉,不同磷源中培养液有效磷含量差异极显著(P<0.01),依次为磷酸三钙>磷酸铁>磷酸铝>磷矿粉;不同碳源、磷源条件下W25培养液中有机酸的种类和浓度差异较大,W25溶磷能力的大小不仅与产酸的种类有关,而且也与产酸的浓度有关。【结论】研究结果为更深入研究拉恩氏菌溶磷机理提供条件,为拉恩氏菌的应用提供理论基础。     

硫和pH对蛋白核小球藻光照产氢的影响

在有无硫及pH5.0-8.0下对蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)光照产氢的影响进行了研究。结果表明,在持续光照(165μmolm-2s-1)条件下,从有硫培养液(TAP培养液)内叶绿素a含量、Fv/Fm值及ΦPSII值的变化表明蛋白核小球藻在pH6.0-7.0时生长最佳,生长旺盛易形成暂时的无氧环境而利于藻产氢。最高的产氢速率和总产氢量出现在pH7.0,分别是0.10mlmg-1chlh-1和1.39ml。从无硫培养液(TAP-S培养液)内叶绿素a含量、Fv/Fm值及ΦPSII值的变化表明蛋白核小球藻生长明显受抑制,形成的无氧环境持久,故产氢持久,总产氢量比有硫培养液内高。蛋白核小球藻在pH5.5培养液内的Fv/Fm值后期高于其他4种pH值的,表明潜在的PSII光化学效率高,在光照条件下产氢电子主要来源于PSII,故pH5.5的无硫培养液内藻的产氢速率和总产氢量最大,分别是0.58mlmg-1chlh-1和10.98ml。说明pH为5.5的无硫培养液是蛋白核小球藻产氢的最佳条件。     

Ⅰ型禽腺病毒AV208株在鸡肝癌细胞中增殖规律的研究

【目的】摸索鸡肝癌细胞系(LMH)培养条件,并采用LMH细胞系对Ⅰ型禽腺病毒AV208株(FAVⅠ-AV208)进行增殖规律的研究。【方法】细胞以不同血清浓度培养并以不同接种比例传代。观察最佳感染复数下的细胞病变和病毒增殖情况,并研究病毒接种物浓度与蚀斑形成数量之间的关系。【结果】LMH细胞系的最适培养条件为,以10%FBS的培养基以1:5比例传代培养。FAVⅠ-AV208毒株可以在LMH细胞中良好增殖并达到较高的滴度(107.5TCID50/0.1 mL)。在最佳感染复数(MOI)为0.01时,72 h细胞即出现明显的细胞病变(CPE),特征为细胞变大变圆,集聚成不规则的葡萄串状。病毒接种物浓度与蚀斑形成数量间呈线性相关。【结论】LMH细胞是FAVⅠ较合适的病毒培养系统,为研制禽腺病毒重组疫苗提供了有利工具。     

小牛血清对鸡传染性法氏囊病病毒增殖的抑制机制

本试验研究了小牛血清(CS)对法氏囊炎病毒(IBDV)蚀斑形成的抑制机制。CS与鸡胚细胞(CEF)作用后,CS中的抑制因子能被细胞吸收。这说明血清中的抑制因子可附着在CEF上。细胞预先用CS处理,则吸附病毒的能力明显降低。还发现,若把CS加入琼脂培养液中,则能抑制IBDV的蚀斑形成。这说明CS能抑制病毒对其周围细胞的感染。CS对IBDV蚀斑形成的抑制机制,不是由于抑制因子直接中和了病毒,而是因为抑制因子附着在细胞表面,占据了细胞的病毒受体,从而阻止了病毒附着于细咆,以致抑制了病毒蚀斑的形成。     

黑暗条件下不同氮源对铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)生长和pH的影响

在黑暗条件下,利用不同形态的氮源(硝酸盐氮,氨氮,有机氮和硝酸盐氮,有机氮)培养蓝藻水华优势种铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa),分析其氮代谢和对水体pH的影响.研究结果表明,在不同氮源的培养液中铜绿微囊藻密度在最初的24 h内出现波动,之后下降.培养液中pH值在试验最初的24 h显著下降,之后趋于稳定,在硝态氮培养液中pH值下降最大,从8.18下降到7.19,其反硝化作用产生的NO-2浓度也最大.不同氮源培养液中总氮含量都有所下降,以混合氮源培养液中总氮减少量最大,说明化合态氮经过反硝化作用生成了氮气并溢出培养液,因此,在黑夜条件下藻华水体中存在反硝化作用.     

辣椒炭疽病菌毒素

辣椒炭疽病菌(辣椒刺盘孢Colletotrichum capsici)在25—28℃的Czapek-Dox培养液中振荡培养时分泌出毒素,这种毒素能引起辣椒叶片形成坏死斑,类似于病原菌侵染形成的症状。辣椒叶煎汁培养液和Czapek-Dox培养液适于C.capsici的生长和产毒,生长适宜温度和范围分别为25℃和pH6—7,在25—28℃,pH6—7的条件下培养滤液毒性最强;光线和通气条件可促进C.capsici的生长和产毒;培养14天的培养滤液毒性最强。培养滤液经丙酮沉淀及离子交换树脂柱和Sephadex G-50柱层析将毒素纯化。实验结果表明该毒素为多聚糖类物质。生物检测结果表明:培养滤液和C.capsici毒素溶液能抑制辣椒、绿豆、豌豆、豇豆种子胚根生长;并能使辣椒幼苗发生萎蔫,这一作用与辣椒品种抗性有关。

建立白腐真菌J610-D与苋菜红的共培养体系,研究培养参数对染料脱色降解的影响。结果表明：（1）在含缓冲成分的系统中,菌种J610-D在pH值4．5的培养液比pH值3．0有利于反应进行,浅层培养较深层培养好,缓冲成分差别的作用不明显。（2）在不舍缓冲成分的系统中,生长与反应阶段培养液均为pH值4．5时,效果最佳;生长于pH值4．5,反应在pH值3．0脱色率和降解率高于生长及反应都在pH值3．0的情况,但仍有25％～40％的苋菜红牢固地结合在菌体上;pH值4．5生长,pH值6．0反应,导致反应启动滞后约4～6d,最终结果尚好。     

Fish Viruses: Buffers and Methods for Plaquing Eight Agents Under Normal Atmosphere

A universal procedure was sought for plaque assay of eight fish viruses (bluegill myxovirus, channel catfish virus, eel virus, Egtved virus, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, lymphocystis virus, and the agent of spring viremia of carp (Rhabdovirus carpio), in dish cultures of various fish cells. Eagle minimal essential medium with sodium bicarbonate-CO(2) buffer (Earle's salt solution) was compared with minimal essential medium buffered principally with tris (hydroxymethyl)aminomethane or N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2'-ethanesulfonic acid at a pH or in the range of 7.6 to 8.0 depending upon temperature. Five fish cell lines collectively capable of replicating all fish viruses thus far isolated were tested and quantitatively found to grow comparably well in the three media. Two-phase (gel-liquid) media incorporating the various buffer systems allowed plaquing at 15 to 33 C either in partial pressures of CO(2) or in normal atmosphere, but greater efficiency and sensitivity were obtained with the organic buffers, and, overall, the best results were obtained with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. Epizootiological data, specific fish cell line response, and plaque morphology permit presumptive identification of most of the agents. At proper pH, use of organic buffers obviates the need for CO(2) incubators.     

Effect of ethanesulfonic acid buffers and pH on the accumulation of a nervous system-specific protein (S-100) and a glial-enriched enzyme in a clonal line of rat astrocytes (C6).

Stationary phase cultures of a clonal line of rat astrocytes (C6) were maintained at pH values ranging from 6.0 to 8.4 using media buffered with various combinations of organic buffers or graded concentrations of bicarbonate ion at a constant CO2 tension. The accumulation of a soluble acidic protein unique to the nervous system (S-100) in media buffered with organic buffers was optimal in the pH range 6.4 to 6.8, significantly more acid than that optimal for cell growth (pH 7.0 to 7.8). Cells maintained in CO2-bicarbonate-buffered media exhibited a higher and less marked pH optimum for S-100 protein accumulation and a lower efficiency of accumulation of the protein. These data suggest that the organic buffer ions themselves, apart from their function as buffers, are influencing the accumulation of S-100. The specific activity (assayed at the enzymatic pH optimum) of a membrane-bound enzyme enriched in glial cells and myelin, 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase, was markedly pH-dependent. The optimal pH range was 6.4 to 6.7 in organic buffer controlled media. In CO2-bicarbonate controlled media the optimal pH range was only slightly higher (pH 6.6 to 7.0), but the specific activities were reduced relative to organic buffer-grown cells. The structural relationship of some of the aminoethanesulfonic acid buffers used in these experiments to certain compounds of neurochemical interest (such as taurine and alpha-flupenthixol) is noted.     

The adverse effects of HEPES, TES, and BES zwitterion buffers on the ultrastructure of cultured chick embryo epiphyseal chondrocytes

Chick embryo epiphyseal chondrocytes cultured in media containing HEPES, TES, and BES zwitterion buffers, used in combination or independently, consistently developed cytoplasmic vacuoles. This cytoplasmic vacuolation was resolved when the zwitterion buffered media was replaced by media containing bicarbonate:CO2 enriched air buffer. Vacuoles were infrequent or absent in cultures grown in bicarbonate:CO2 enriched air. Chondrocytes with an established extracellular matrix showed less vacuolation than fibroblastlike and polygonal shaped cells that lacked such a matrix. The granular endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi dictyosomes of zwitterion buffered chondrocytes were distended and contained a flocculent amorphous material. Cytoplasmic vacuoles (0.5 to 3.0 micron diam) formed by the fusion and intracellular accumulation of Golgi vesicles and vacuoles also contained a flocculent material enhanced by ruthenium red. Membrane bound extracellular vacuoles containing ruthenium red stained proteoglycan aggregates were common in the extracellular matrix of zwitterion buffered cultures but were generally absent from bicarbonate treated cultures. Electron dense calcium deposits seemed much larger and more numerous in the presence of zwitterion buffers. It is suggested that HEPES, TES, and BES buffers, used alone or in combination, may adversely affect cell membrane systems, and thus the transport or secretory mechanisms operative in cultured chondrocytes, or both, resulting in vacuole formation and the intracellular accumulation of synthesized export material. Although the mechanism by which HEPES, TES, and BES induce these changes remains unclear, the use of zwitterion buffers in biological preparations should be treated with caution.     

The effects of the buffer hepes on the division potential of WI-38 cells

Summary N-2-Hydroxyethylpiperazine-N′-2-ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES) and N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-2-aminoethane sulfonic acid (TES) have been found to be nontoxic substitutes for bicarbonate buffer in cell culture media. WI-38 embryonic human lung cells have been carried beyond the 60th passage with both HEPES and TES buffers.     

Dengue Virus Plaque Development in Simian Cell Systems: I. Factors Influencing Virus Adsorption and Variables in the Agar Overlay Medium

Chemical and physical variables influencing the plaquing of all dengue serotypes in two simian cell systems were studied. Calf serum in the nutrient overlay may be replaced by mouse ascitic fluid or bovine plasma albumin when employing the rhesus monkey kidney LLC-MK(2) cell system for plaquing all dengue serotypes. Doubling the serum concentration in the overlay had little effect in modifying dengue types 1, 2, 3, and 4 plaque titers. Newborn agamma, 4-week-old and 8-week-old calf serum gave comparable titers with all dengue virus serotypes. Dengue virus titers, plaque size, and development time were unaffected by sodium bicarbonate concentrations ranging from 1.1 to 4.4 mg/ml of overlay. A twofold increase (0.00332 g%) in the amount of either autoclaved or filtered-sterilized neutral red reduced the dengue 2 virus titer as much as 2.2 logs. An increased Mg(++) and decreased Ca(++) concentration in the overlay medium increased the efficiency of the plaquing system.     

The adverse effects of HEPES,TES, and BES zwitterion buffers on the ultrastructure of cultured chick embryo epiphyseal chondrocytes

Summary Chick embryo epiphyseal chondrocytes cultured in media containing HEPES, TES, and BES zwitterion buffers, used in combination or independently, consistently developed cytoplasmic vacuoles. This cytoplasmic vacuolation was resolved when the zwitterion buffered media was replaced by media containing bicarbonate:CO₂ enriched air buffer. Vacuoles were infrequent or absent in cultures grown in bicarbonate:CO₂ enriched air. Chondrocytes with an established extracellular matrix showed less vacuolation than fibroblastlike and polygonal shaped cells that lacked such a matrix. The granular endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi dictyosomes of zwitterion buffered chondrocytes were distended and contained a flocculent amorphous material. Cytoplasmic vacuoles (0.5 to 3.0 μm diam) formed by the fusion and intracellular accumulation of Golgi vesicles and vacuoles also contained a flocculent material enhanced by ruthenium red.

Although the mechanism by which HEPES, TES, and BES induce these changes remains unclear, the use of zwitterion buffers in biological preparations should be treated with caution.

Comparative sensitivity of various cell culture systems for isolation of viruses from wastewater and fecal samples.

In efforts to define the most sensitive cell culture systems for recovery of viruses from wastewaters, 181 samples were inoculated in parallel into tube cultures of various cell types and were plaqued in bottle and petri dish cultures of three types of monkey kidney cells. Polioviruses were recovered most frequently in the RD line of human rhabdomyosarcoma cells, group A coxsackieviruses in RD and human fetal diploid kidney (HFDK) cells, group B coxsackieviruses in the BGM line of African green monkey kidney cells, echoviruses in RD and primary rhesus monkey kidney (RhMK) cells, and reoviruses in RhMK cells. BGM cells were unsatisfactory for recovery of viruses other than polioviruses and group B coxsackieviruses, and a line of fetal rhesus monkey kidney (MFK) was not a satisfactory substitute for primary RhMK. With RhMK cells, comparable numbers of virus isolations were made in tube cultures and in plaque assays conducted in bottle cultures, but with BGM and MFK cells, fewer isolations were made by plaquing than by inoculation of tube cultures. In comparative plaque assays on fecal samples under three different overlays in bottle and plate cultures of RhMK, BGM, and MFK cells, it was found that plaquing in the most sensitive system, RhMK, was less efficient for virus recovery than was inoculation of tube cultures of RhMK or HFDK cells. Overall, plaque assays performed in petri dishes in a CO(2) incubator yielded fewer virus isolates than did parallel plaque assays performed in closed bottle cultures. Other limitations of plaque assays for recovery of human enteric viruses are discussed.

Plaquing procedure for infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus

A single overlay plaque assay was designed and evaluated for infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. Epithelioma papillosum carpio cells were grown in normal atmosphere with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane- or HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid)-buffered media. Plaques were larger and formed more quickly on 1- to 3-day-old cell monolayers than on older monolayers. Cell culture medium with a 10% addition of fetal calf serum (MEM 10) or without serum (MEM 0) were the most efficient virus diluents. Dilution with phosphate-buffered saline, saline, normal broth, or deionized water reduced plaque numbers. Variations in the pH (7.0 to 8.0) of a MEM 0 diluent did not affect plaque numbers. Increasing the volume of viral inoculum above 0.15 ml (15- by 60-mm plate) decreased plaquing efficiency. Significantly more plaques occurred under gum tragacanth and methylcellulose than under agar or agarose overlays. Varying the pH (6.8 to 7.4) of methylcellulose overlays did not significantly change plaque numbers. More plaques formed under the thicker overlays of both methylcellulose and gum tragacanth. Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and HEPES performed equally well, buffering either medium or overlay. Plaque numbers were reduced when cells were rinsed after virus adsorption or less than 1 h was allowed for adsorption. Variation in adsorption time between 60 and 180 min did not change plaque numbers. The mean plaque formation time was 7 days at 16 degrees C. The viral dose response was linear when the standardized assay was used.
