The Aspergillus niger carbon catabolite repressor encoding gene, creA

In order to undertake a comparative analysis of carbon catabolite repression in two Aspergillus species, the creA gene has been isolated from A. niger by cross hybridization, using the cloned A. nidulans gene. The A. niger gene has been shown to be functional in A. nidulans by heterologous complementation of the creA204 mutation of A. nidulans. Overall, the genes show 90% sequence similarity (82% identity) at the amino acid (aa) level. There were some striking similarities between the aa sequences encoded by the two fungal creA genes and two genes involved in carbon catabolite repression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The zinc-finger regions showed 96% similarity (84% identity) with the zinc-finger region of the MIG1 gene of S. cerevisiae. The CREA protein contains a stretch of 42 aa that is identical in A. niger and A. nidulans, and these show 81% similarity (33% identity) with a region of the S. cerevisiae RGR1 gene.     

Phylogenetic and biosystematic relationships in four highly disjunct polyploid complexes in the subgenera Ceterach and Phyllitis in Asplenium (Aspleniaceae)

Phylogenetic studies using DNA sequences of two chloroplast regions, rbcL and trnL-F, demonstrate that the proposed genus Ceterach is a small clade within the large genus Asplenium, and sister to the Phyllitis clade. The Ceterach clade is characterised by irregular anastomosing veins and often densely scaled leaf blades. Its taxonomic status as a group nested within Asplenium is confirmed, and it is accepted here as a subgenus with seven species. The Ceterach clade comprises four lineages that correspond to disjunct polyploid complexes: the A. aureum clade forming a polyploid complex (4×, 6×, 8×) in Macaronesia, the A. ceterach clade forming a polyploid complex (2×, 4×, 6×) in the Mediterranean Basin, the A. paucivenosum clade (4×, 6×) in central Asia, and the A. dalhousiae clade (2×) with a disjunct distribution in the Himalaya, Yemen and Eritrea, and southwestern North America. Asplenium paucivenosum is sister to all other members of the Ceterach clade, whereas A. dalhousiae is sister to the A. aureum clade that includes tetraploid A. aureum, hexaploid A. lolegnamense, and octoploid A. parvifolium. Asplenium ceterach and its variations – including the hexaploid A. ceterach subsp. mediterraneum subsp. nov. first described below – form a monophyletic unit, sister to a clade consisting of A. aureum and A. dalhousiae. Asplenium cordatum from Africa and A. haugthonii from the isolated atlantic island of St. Helena are not members of the Ceterach clade, which suggests that leaf blades with dense indumenta have evolved at least twice within asplenioid ferns. The allotetraploid species A. hybridum has the chloroplast DNA from A. ceterach, and therefore the latter species is the maternal ancestor of the former. The other parent of this hybrid species is A. sagittatum that is nested within the sister clade of Ceterach, the Phyllitis clade comprising A. sagittatum and A. scolopendrium. The findings suggest that the current distribution of Ceterach is either the result of long-distance dispersal or represents fragmented relicts of a previously more widely distributed species.     

A dual-specific Glu-tRNA(Gln) and Asp-tRNA(Asn) amidotransferase is involved in decoding glutamine and asparagine codons in Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.

The gatC, gatA and gatB genes encoding the three subunits of glutamyl-tRNA^Gln amidotransferase from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, an acidophilic bacterium used in bioleaching of minerals, have been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. As in Bacillus subtilis the three gat genes are organized in an operon-like structure in A. ferrooxidans. The heterologously overexpressed enzyme converts Glu-tRNA^Gln to Gln-tRNA^Gln and Asp-tRNA^Asn to Asn-tRNA^Asn. Biochemical analysis revealed that neither glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase nor asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase is present in A. ferrooxidans, but that glutamyl-tRNA synthetase and aspartyl-tRNA synthetase enzymes are present in the organism. These data suggest that the transamidation pathway is responsible for the formation of Gln-tRNA and Asn-tRNA in A. ferrooxidans.     

Genes encoding multiple drug resistance-like proteins in Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus

Polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers was used to identify genes encoding proteins of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily in Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus. In A. fumigatus, two genes (AfuMDR1 and AfuMDR2) encoding proteins of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily were identified. One gene (AflMDR1) was isolated from A. flavus and is the apparent homologue to AfuMDR1. AfuMDR1and AflMDR1 encode proteins of molecular weights 148 000 and 143 000, respectively, each containing 12 putative transmembrane regions and two ATP-binding sites. These proteins are arranged in two homologous halves, each half consisting of a hydrophobic region (encoding six putative transmembrane domains) and an ATP-binding site. The AfuMDR1 and AflMDR1-encoded proteins bear a high degree of similarity to the Schizosaccharomyces pombe leptomycin B resistance protein and to human MDR1. The second gene identified in A. fumigatus, AfuMDR2, encodes a protein of molecular weight 85 000, containing four putative transmembrane domains and an ATP binding domain. The encoded protein is similar to those encoded by MDL1 and MDL2, two MDR-like genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Expression of AFUMDR1 in S. cerevisiae conferred increased resistance to the antifungal agent cilofungin (LY121019), an echinocandin B analog.     

Efficient integrative transformation of the phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata mediated by the repetitive rDNA sequences

An attempt was made to transform Alternaria alternata protoplasts using a plasmid vector, pDH25, bearing the Escherichia coli hygromycin B (Hy) phosphotransferase gene (hph) under the control of the Aspergillus nidulans trpC promoter. Transformants arose on a selective medium containing 100 μg Hy/ml. There were two types of transformants, forming large and small colonies on the selective medium. Transformation with one μg of the vector produced an average of 4.5 large colonies and 600 small ones. In large-colony transformants, the vector often integrated into the recipient chromosome in the form of highly rearranged tandem arrays. To increase transformation efficiency, fragments of the highly repetitive ribosomal RNA gene cluster (rDNA) of A. alternata were used to construct four new vectors for homologous recombination system. Use of these vectors gave higher transformation efficiency than the original plasmid. The best vector, pDH25r1a, gave rise to large-colony transformants at a frequency 20 times higher than pDH25. Transformation events in A. alternata with pDH25r1a occured by homologous recombination as a single crossover between the plasmid-borne rDNA segment and its homologue in the chromosome, often giving rise to tandemly repeated vector DNA.     

Phylogeny and phylogeography of Arenaria section Pseudomoehringia

Phylogeographic and evolutionary studies are necessary to establish solid taxonomic treatments and to implement effective conservation programs. Unfortunately, a well‐argued and well‐founded taxonomic framework is still lacking for some Mediterranean taxa. This is the case of Arenaria section Pseudomoehringia, a group that currently comprises three species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula (A. funiculata, A. suffruticosa, and A. tejedensis) and A. glochidisperma, which is restricted to the Rif mountains, North Africa. However, the taxonomic boundaries and phylogenetic relationships among these species are still uncertain. To explore the evolutionary history and phylogeographic patterns within this section, analyses based on nuclear (amplified fragment length polymorphism and internal transcribed spacer) and plastid DNA markers (psbA‐3’ trnK‐matK and rps16) were performed. Our study has confirmed the monophyly of the section, in which two species are clearly identified (A. funiculata and A. glochidisperma) and an additional species complex (“A. suffruticosa + A. tejedensis complex”) is also supported as a monophyletic clade. The phylogeographic results point toward a dispersal event of a common ancestor of the group from the Iberian Peninsula, giving rise to A. glochidisperma in North Africa. Moreover, A. funiculata and A. glochidisperma are identified as closely related species edaphically differentiated across the Strait of Gibraltar. Our study indicates low levels of a recent gene flow among populations of the “A. suffruticosa + A. tejedensis complex,” which are genetically highly structured and suggest an isolation by distance pattern, probably due to a combination of ecological and geographic barriers. Furthermore, the taxonomic and conservation status of taxa included in Arenaria section Pseudomoehringia has been reviewed.     

朱砂根叶绿体全基因组解析及系统发育分析

基于Illumina平台对朱砂根和红凉伞叶绿体全基因组进行测序,利用生物信息学比较叶绿体基因组结构特征与变异程度,旨在明确朱砂根（Ardisia crenata）及红凉伞（Ardisia crenata var. bicolor）叶绿体基因组特征及差异,并与同科其他物种叶绿体全基因组进行比较分析,确定其在紫金牛属系统发育位置。结果表明,朱砂根和红凉伞均为由一个大单拷贝区（LSC）、一个小单拷贝区（SSC）和一对反向重复区（IRa/IRb）构成的环状四分体结构,注释得到132个基因,其重复序列的类型与分布模式相似,但数量有所差异。其中psbA、matK、rpoC2、ropB、ndhK、accD、ndhF、ndhD、ndhH及ycf1等基因的编码区存在差异,这些位点为朱砂根分子鉴定提供新位点。朱砂根及红凉伞叶绿体基因组具有较高保守性,叶绿体基因组之间没有重排或倒置,IR区序列变异最低,SSC区变异程度最高。系统发育树分析表明紫金牛科和报春花科为两个分支,朱砂根和红凉伞归为紫金牛科,且朱砂根与红凉伞亲缘关系最为密切,从分子水平为红凉伞作为朱砂根变种提供了科学解释。本研究解析了朱砂根及变种红凉伞叶绿体基因组结构,探讨了紫金牛科属间系统发育关系,也为紫金牛科药用植物分类鉴定、系统进化及资源开发利用研究奠定基础。     

Screening of chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Artemisia essential oils

The chemical composition of essential oils isolated from aerial parts of seven wild sages from Western Canada – Artemisia absinthium L., Artemisia biennis Willd., Artemisia cana Pursh, Artemisia dracunculus L., Artemisia frigida Willd., Artemisia longifolia Nutt. and Artemisia ludoviciana Nutt., was investigated by GC–MS. A total of 110 components were identified accounting for 71.0–98.8% of the oil composition. High contents of 1,8-cineole (21.5–27.6%) and camphor (15.9–37.3%) were found in Artemisia cana, A. frigida, A. longifolia and A. ludoviciana oils. The oil of A. ludoviciana was also characterized by a high content of oxygenated sesquiterpenes with a 5-ethenyltetrahydro-5-methyl-2-furanyl moiety, of which davanone (11.5%) was the main component identified. A. absinthium oil was characterized by high amounts of myrcene (10.8%), trans-thujone (10.1%) and trans-sabinyl acetate (26.4%). A. biennis yielded an oil rich in (Z)-beta-ocimene (34.7%), (E)-beta-farnesene (40.0%) and the acetylenes (11.0%) (Z)- and (E)-en-yn-dicycloethers. A. dracunculus oil contained predominantly phenylpropanoids such as methyl chavicol (16.2%) and methyl eugenol (35.8%). Artemisia oils had inhibitory effects on the growth of bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis), yeasts (Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans), dermatophytes (Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis, and Microsporum gypseum), Fonsecaea pedrosoi and Aspergillus niger. A. biennis oil was the most active against dermatophytes, Cryptococcus neoformans, Fonsecaea pedrosoi and Aspergillus niger, and A. absinthium oil the most active against Staphylococcus strains. In addition, antioxidant (beta-carotene/linoleate model) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities were determined, and weak activities were found for these oils.     

黑曲霉中生物合成赭曲霉毒素A的非核糖体肽合成酶基因的鉴定

赭曲霉毒素A(ochratoxin A,OTA)是国际癌症研究机构认定的"2B"类致癌物。黑曲霉Aspergillus niger是美国食品药品监督局认可的食品安全菌。然而近年来陆续发现某些黑曲霉菌株能够产生OTA,这会对人类健康构成潜在威胁。阐明黑曲霉生物合成OTA的关键基因有助于理解OTA生物合成机制,这对OTA污染的防控具有重要意义。本研究克隆了产OTA黑曲霉中非核糖体肽合成酶(NRPS)编码基因(An15g07910),并对其进行了生物信息学分析,在此基础上采用同源重组的方法敲除了该基因,获得了一株性能稳定的敲除突变株Δnrps。与野生株相比,Δnrps突变株的表型在CYA培养基中并无明显改变,但在7d培养期间完全失去了合成赭曲霉毒素α(ochratoxinα,OTα)和OTA的能力,而赭曲霉毒素β(ochratoxinβ,OTβ)的合成不受影响。在野生株培养过程中,该nrps基因前4d表达量逐渐增大,并在第4天达到最高,随后基因表达量逐渐下降并趋于稳定,这与OTA的含量变化基本一致。结果表明该nrps基因(An15g07910)参与OTA的生物合成,其编码的NRPS可能负责催化苯丙氨酸部分和二氢异香豆素部分的交联。

Nanjing Winter onion）和韩国大葱（A. fistulosum var .gigantum cv. Korea Welsh onion）关系较近。根据聚类结果,将章丘大葱、天津五叶齐、上海分葱、南京冬葱、韩国大葱、细香葱（A. schoenoprasum）以及楼葱（A. fistulosum var. viviparum）归为葱组;而将胡葱（A. ascalonicum）、洋葱（A. cepa）及洋葱和大葱的杂交种归为洋葱组。最后根据RAPD标记,讨论了各品种之间的亲缘关系。     

黑木耳复合群中种类学名说明

黑木耳在我国已经有1 000多年栽培历史,是我国最重要的栽培真菌之一,多年来我国黑木耳的学名一直使用模式产地为欧洲的Auricularia auricula-judae。最近的研究表明A. auricula-judae实际为一复合种,该复合种在全球范围内有5个种。其中A. auricula-judae仅分布于欧洲;美洲有2个种,生长在针叶树上的美洲木耳A. americana和生长在阔叶树上的尚未命名的木耳。中国该类群有3个种：自然分布和栽培最广泛的黑木耳的学名应为A. heimuer,此外,短毛木耳A. villosula在我国东北也广泛分布,并有少量栽培,生长针叶树上的木耳为美洲木耳A. americana,主要分布于中国东北和华北。     

Daily Rhythms of Body Temperature in Acornys russatus: The Response to Chemical Signals Released by Acomys cahirinus

Two species of spiny mice of the genus Acomys—the golden spiny A. russaturs and the common spiny A. cuhirinus—are syrnpatnc in the and and hot parts of the Rift Valley in Israel. The coexistence of these two species is due to exclusion of A. russatus mice by A. cuhirinus mice from nocturnal activity. The aim of this research was to study if odor signals released by A. cahirinus mice can play a role in the exclusion of A. russatus mice. A. russatus mice with an implanted transmitter recording body temperature (T_b) were kept alone in a metabolic chamber under constant conditions of ambient temperature (27°C) and photoperiod (12 h light: 12 h dark). After 5 days of recording, chemical signals from an A. cuhirinus mouse were added through the air tube going into the metabolic chamber of the A. russatus mice. This treatment caused a shift of ∼ 2 h inT_b daily rhythm of the naive tested A. russutus mice, whereas no shift was observed in A. russatus mice that had been kept in the same room with the A. cahirinus mouse before measurements. These results strongly support the idea that chemical signals released by A. cahirinus mice can entrain the T_b rhythms of A. russatus mice. Therefore, it may be assumed that the exclusion of A. russatus mice from nocturnal activity by A. cuhirinus mice could be achieved through the odor released by the latter.     

基于COⅠ基因序列的蜜蜂属系统发育分析及其舞蹈和筑巢行为进化分析

【目的】分析蜜蜂属Apis的系统发育关系,并在此基础上探讨蜜蜂属舞蹈方向、舞蹈声音、营巢环境、巢脾结构的祖先状态和演变过程。【方法】PCR扩增并测定中国分布的蜜蜂属内东方蜜蜂A. cerana、西方蜜蜂A. mellifera、大蜜蜂A. dorsata、黑大蜜蜂A. laboriosa、小蜜蜂A. florea和黑小蜜蜂A. andreniformis的线粒体COⅠ基因序列,并从NCBI数据库中下载分布于其他国家或地区的上述6种蜜蜂以及绿努蜂A. nulunsis、苏拉威西蜂A. nigrocinta、沙巴蜂A. koschevnikovi、炳式大蜜蜂A. dorsata binghami的COⅠ同源序列。分别利用最大简约法(MP)、最大似然法(ML)和贝叶斯分析(BI)依据这些序列数据构建蜜蜂属系统发育关系。对蜜蜂属上述种的舞蹈语言和筑巢行为进行编码并作为性状特征标记到系统发育树中,利用简约法对祖先状态进行追溯。【结果】系统发育分析结果表明,蜜蜂属可划分为3大类群,即穴居蜜蜂类群(东方蜜蜂、西方蜜蜂、苏拉威西蜂、绿努蜂、沙巴蜂)、大蜜蜂类群(大蜜蜂、黑大蜜蜂)和小蜜蜂类群(小蜜蜂、黑小蜜蜂);小蜜蜂类群更加接近于祖型,大蜜蜂类群和穴居蜜蜂类群是两支单系;炳式大蜜蜂是独立于大蜜蜂和黑大蜜蜂的蜂种,且与黑大蜜蜂的亲缘关系更近。祖先状态重建结果显示：蜜蜂属祖先在露天环境下筑造垂直的单脾,且在传播食物或巢址信息时跳水平方向的无声摆尾舞,有嗡嗡声的舞蹈及筑造复脾是后来形成的。【结论】COⅠ基因可作为分子标记用于分析蜜蜂属的舞蹈和筑巢行为的祖先状态及进化过程;蜜蜂筑造复脾、跳有嗡嗡声的舞蹈是后期的适应性进化行为。     

Pullulans produced by strains of Cryphonectria parasitica—I. Production and characterisation of the exopolysaccharides

Studies published during the last four decades indicated that pullulan has mainly -(1→6) maltotriose subunits, accompanied by -(1→6) maltotetraose subunits and other anomalies in the polymer chain. The presence and the extent of these anomalies depend on the strain of Aureobasidium pullulans used for obtaining the pullulan as exocellular material, and on the culture conditions as well. Besides A. pullulan, other fungi produce this polysaccharide. In all cases, the maximum amount of -(1→6) maltotetraose subunits was believed to be 7%. This paper reports the characterization of pullulan samples, obtained by liquid cultures of a virulent strain (CP159) and two hypovirulent strains (CP263 and CP102) of Cryphonectria parasitica. It was found that in all cases pullulan was much richer in -(1→6) maltotetraose subunits than the pullulan(s) so far investigated. Chestnut blight caused by C. parasitica is a disease of worldwide importance in chestnut production. The structure of pullulan could be correlated with the pathogenesis and symptoms expressed by infected plants.

基于线性混合模型研究海州湾六丝钝尾虾虎鱼摄食生态

随着我国近海多种传统经济渔业资源的衰退,六丝钝尾虾虎鱼已成为海州湾等海域的优势鱼种之一,并在海洋食物网中发挥着重要作用。本研究根据2011年和2013—2016年春季和秋季在海州湾及其邻近海域进行的渔业资源底拖网调查,基于线性混合模型研究了海州湾六丝钝尾虾虎鱼的摄食习性以及影响其摄食的主要因素,并对其摄食策略进行分析。结果表明: 海州湾六丝钝尾虾虎鱼以虾类、双壳类、端足类等14个饵料生物类群为食,其中端足类、虾类、双壳类、蛇尾类是其主要的饵料类群。从饵料生物种类来看,六丝钝尾虾虎鱼摄食的饵料种类有37种,优势饵料生物有钩虾、细螯虾、独眼钩虾、彩虹明樱蛤和鲜明鼓虾等。线性混合模型分析表明,海州湾六丝钝尾虾虎鱼的摄食强度受体长、水深、季节、底层盐度的显著影响,其中,摄食强度与水深和底层盐度呈显著负相关关系,而与体长呈显著正相关关系,且春季的摄食强度显著高于秋季。聚类分析表明,以体长70 mm为界,可将六丝钝尾虾虎鱼划分为食性差异较大的两个体长组,其摄食随体长的变化主要与自身摄食能力与饵料生物丰度的变化有关。摄食策略分析表明,六丝钝尾虾虎鱼的营养生态位具有较高的表型间成分,对食物的种内竞争较低。本研究将有助于揭示六丝钝尾虾虎鱼的生活史特征,并为其资源的可持续利用和科学管理提供参考依据。     

地上-地下植食性天敌对入侵植物空心莲子草与本地种莲子草种间关系的影响

生物入侵是全球生物多样性的主要威胁,外来种与本地种的种间竞争能力会影响其能否成功入侵。本研究选用入侵植物空心莲子草和其本地同属种莲子草为对象,探究其专食性天敌莲草直胸跳甲与南方根结线虫对空心莲子草与莲子草的生长及种间关系的影响。结果表明: 与无天敌胁迫相比,线虫处理显著降低了莲子草的株高(28.1%),但显著增加了空心莲子草的株高(52.8%)和莲子草的地上生物量(63.7%);跳甲处理显著降低了莲子草的株高(40.7%),对空心莲子草无显著影响;而跳甲与线虫的共同胁迫显著降低了莲子草的株高(35.3%)和空心莲子草的地下生物量(62.2%),显著增加了莲子草的地上生物量(69.1%);天敌胁迫对两种植物的茎粗、分枝数和根长均无显著影响。无天敌作用下,两种植物的相对邻体效应指数(RNE)均为正值,且空心莲子草的RNE比莲子草高21.3%;天敌胁迫下,空心莲子草的RNE均为负值,而莲子草的RNE在线虫或跳甲单独胁迫下为正值,在线虫和跳甲共同胁迫下为负值。表明地上-地下天敌互作可以使两种植物的种间关系发生改变,并可能促进空心莲子草的入侵。     

我国黄曲霉遗传多样性与产毒特性

黄曲霉(Aspergillus flavus)是一种广泛分布的腐生真菌, 是黄曲霉毒素B (aflatoxin B, AFB)和圆弧偶氮酸(cyclopiazonic acid, CPA)的主要产生菌, 也是动植物的条件致病菌。全球的玉米、花生和棉籽均不同程度地遭到黄曲霉及其毒素的污染。黄曲霉菌株间在形态学、遗传学和产毒特性上变异较大, 且其居群遗传结构也尚不明确。为了揭示黄曲霉居群遗传结构及其产毒素特性的规律, 本研究选取了从我国26省区(包括大小兴安岭)不同环境中分离的黄曲霉88株, 结合模式菌株和国际权威菌株9株, 基于钙调蛋白基因(CaM)和β-微管蛋白基因(benA)进行多基因序列分型(multi-locus sequence typing, MLST), 使用MEGA 6.0和Structure 2.3.4软件进行系统发育学分析和居群结构推导, 并结合菌株的产毒特性(AFB和CPA)进行比较分析。结果显示本研究的97株黄曲霉可分为3个居群, 即黄曲霉居群I、黄曲霉居群II和米曲霉居群, 该97株黄曲霉共有17个序列型(sequence type, ST), 其中我国的88株菌分布于15个序列型。米曲霉居群均不产AFB, 黄曲霉居群I和II的菌株绝大多数都产AFB和CPA, 其产毒特性只具有菌株特异性, 与居群和序列型无关。黄曲霉菌株产毒特性与地理分布或农作物类型间存在一定关系。我国东北玉米产区、西北干旱棉花产区和南方花生产区的黄曲霉居群I和II菌株均产AFB和CPA, 我国青海可可西里和四川阿坝地区的黄曲霉仅产CPA而不产AFB, 不产AFB的米曲霉居群大部分来自我国气候和地理环境多样的华北地区, 该地区也是我国农村传统酿造黄豆酱的地区。
