溶菌酶对瘤胃体外发酵、甲烷生成及微生物菌群结构的影响

【目的】通过体外静态模拟瘤胃发酵法研究溶菌酶对瘤胃发酵、甲烷生成及微生物菌群结构的影响。【方法】采用单因素多水平试验设计,溶菌酶添加水平分别为0(L-0,对照组)、0.1 mg/100 m L(L-0.1)、1 mg/100 m L(L-1)、10 mg/100 m L(L-10)和100 mg/100 m L(L-100),定时测定产气量和甲烷产量,培养24 h后,发酵液用于发酵参数和微生物菌群数量的q PCR测定,其中L-0、L-1和L-100三个组发酵液同时进行16S r RNA基因Illumina高通量测序。【结果】与对照组相比,低剂量溶菌酶添加(L-0.1组)不影响甲烷产量、氨氮浓度、干物质消失率、有机物消失率和总挥发性脂肪酸等瘤胃发酵参数(P0.05);随着剂量提高,L-1处理组甲烷产量、氨氮浓度显著降低(P0.05),丙酸浓度显著增加(P0.05),并且干物质消失率、有机物消失率和总挥发性脂肪酸不受影响(P0.05);而较高剂量组(L-10和L-100组)虽然甲烷产量显著降低,丙酸浓度显著增加(P0.05),但干物质消失率和有机物消失率也显著降低(P0.05)。q PCR结果显示高剂量组(L-100组)总菌、原虫、甲烷菌数量与对照组相比显著降低(P0.05),而L-0.1、L-1和L-10组总菌、真菌和原虫数量与对照组相比均无显著变化(P0.05)。高通量测序主成分分析(PCA)显示对照组与溶菌酶添加组间瘤胃细菌组成的明显区分,说明添加溶菌酶显著改变了瘤胃细菌菌群结构。溶菌酶通过增加月形单胞菌和琥珀酸弧菌等丙酸生成菌的相对丰度,使更多的氢被用于生成丙酸,导致甲烷产量降低;溶菌酶可抑制普雷沃氏菌和拟杆菌属等蛋白降解菌的生长,进而减少蛋白质过度降解,降低氨氮浓度。【结论】添加适宜浓度(1 mg/100 m L)的溶菌酶可通过调控瘤胃微生态改变瘤胃发酵模式,降低瘤胃甲烷和氨的生成,短期内并不影响饲料消化。     

三硝酸丙三酯对厌氧真菌和甲烷菌代谢产物、纤维水解酶活性及菌群丰度的影响

【背景】近年来硝酸酯化合物抑制瘤胃甲烷生成的能力受到广泛关注,但鲜有研究关注其对瘤胃内主要纤维降解菌——厌氧真菌的影响。【目的】研究三硝酸丙三酯(Nitroglycerin,NG)对厌氧真菌和甲烷菌活性和代谢的影响。【方法】利用厌氧真菌(Piromyces sp.F1)纯培养及与甲烷菌共培养(Piromyces sp.F1+Methanobrevibacter sp.),比较不同剂量NG(0.0、6.6、13.2和19.8μmol/L)对厌氧真菌和甲烷菌的代谢终产物、主要纤维水解酶活性及菌群丰度的影响。【结果】厌氧真菌共培养组中,6.6μmol/L NG完全抑制了甲烷的生成,积累了氢气和甲酸(P0.05),降低了乙酸浓度以及木聚糖酶和羧甲基纤维素酶活性(P0.05),但未显著影响厌氧真菌和甲烷菌的丰度(P0.05)。厌氧真菌纯培养组中,6.6μmol/L NG显著降低了甲酸、乙酸、乙醇、木聚糖酶和羧甲基纤维素酶活性(P0.05),但总产气量和氢气产量没有显著差异(P0.05)。在2个培养体系中,随着剂量的升高,NG对厌氧真菌和甲烷菌的抑制增强。【结论】NG能够抑制甲烷菌的活性,但对厌氧真菌也有抑制作用。     

共存甲烷短杆菌Methanobrevibacter thaueri F1提高梨囊鞭菌Piromyces sp. F1对硝呋烯腙的耐受性

【背景】硝呋烯腙能够抑制厌氧真菌。共存甲烷菌可以促进厌氧真菌的生长以及对木质纤维素的降解,然而关于共存甲烷菌对厌氧真菌抗逆性影响的研究较少。【目的】旨在研究甲烷菌共存对厌氧真菌耐受硝呋烯腙的影响。【方法】采用体外批次培养,以稻草为底物,添加不同浓度的硝呋烯腙(0、5、10、25 mg/L),分别接种厌氧真菌纯培养和厌氧真菌与甲烷菌共培养悬浮液,于39°C静置培养96 h。测定不同时间点的产气量和甲烷产量,结束后测定p H、干物质降解率(DMD)、中性洗涤纤维消失率(NDFD)、半纤维素消失率(ADSD)、酸性洗涤纤维消失率(ADFD)以及上清液中甲酸、乳酸和乙酸的浓度。【结果】添加5、10和25 mg/L硝呋烯腙皆显著降低了厌氧真菌纯培养的发酵活性(P0.05);添加5 mg/L硝呋烯腙没有显著降低厌氧真菌与甲烷菌共培养的发酵活性(P0.05),添加10和25 mg/L硝呋烯腙则显著降低了共培养发酵活性(P0.05);比较5、10 mg/L硝呋烯腙对纯培养和共培养发酵活性影响的结果表明,共培养发酵活性显著高于纯培养发酵活性(P0.05)。【结论】硝呋烯腙对厌氧真菌纯培养和厌氧真菌与甲烷菌共培养的抑制作用都存在剂量效应,在一定添加浓度范围内(25 mg/L),甲烷菌共存可以显著提高厌氧真菌对硝呋烯腙的耐受性。

Systematic significance of mature embryo of bamboos

The mature embryo of seven species belonging to five genera of Indian bamboos is described. In all these the basic pattern of embryo organisation is same: the scutellar and coleoptilar bundles are not separated by an internode, the epiblast is absent, the lower portion of the scutellum and the coleorhiza are separated by a cleft and the margins of embryonic leaves overlap. The features unique to fleshy fruited bamboos are: presence of a massive scutellum, the juxtaposition of plumule and radicle and the occurrence of a bud in the axil of the coleoptile. The fleshy fruit bearing bamboos should be classified into one group, the tribeMelocanneae. Evidence is provided to recognise additional groups in the subfamilyBambusoideae.     

Taxonomic status of the species of the green algal genusNeochloris

Komárek has recently reviewed the various species assigned to the green algal genusNeochloris Starr (Chlorococcales, Chlorococcaceae) and removed those with uninucleate vegetative cells to a new genus,Ettlia. Watanabe & Floyd, unaware ofKomárek's work, also reviewed the species ofNeochloris and distributed them among three genera—Neochloris, Chlorococcopsis gen. nov., andParietochloris gen. nov.—on the basis of details of the covering of the zoospore and the arrangement of the basal bodies of the flagellar apparatus. This paper reconciles these two treatments and makes additional recommendations at the ranks of genus, family, order, and class.     

Analysis of twin of eyeless regulation during early embryogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster

The Drosophila Pax6 homolog twin of eyeless (toy) is so far the first zygotically expressed gene involved in eye morphogenesis in Drosophila. The study of its expression during embryogenesis is therefore informative of the initial events of eye development in Drosophila. We have analyzed how the initial expression domain of toy at cellular blastoderm is regulated. We show that the three maternal patterning systems active in the cephalic region (the anterior, terminal and dorsal-ventral systems) cooperate with zygotically activated gap genes to shape the initial expression domain of toy. Whereas Bicoid, Dorsal and Torso signaling synergistically act as activators, Hunchback, Knirps and Decapentaplegic act as repressors.     

Apoptotic Regulation of Caspase Activity

Intracellular cysteine aspartate-specific proteases (caspases) play both signaling and effector roles in realizing the program of cell death. Caspases function as proteolytic cascades unique for each cell type and signal triggering apoptosis. All parts of the proteolytic cascades are duplicated and controlled by feedback signals. Amplification cycles between pairs of caspases (the third and the sixth, the ninth and the third, the twelfth and the sixth, and others) help multiply the initial apoptotic signal. The presence of physiological inhibitors of apoptosis that directly interact with caspases creates a multilevel regulatory network of apoptosis in cell. The caspase proteolytic cascades are also regulated by sphingolipid secondary messengers, among them ceramide, sphingosine, and their phosphates. Moreover, an association of the caspase signaling with ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis is shown in cells. In particular, the use of extracellular activators and inhibitors of caspases allows irreversible activation of apoptosis in tumor cells or the prevention of apoptosis in cortical neurons under neurodegenerative diseases.

The effect of cyanobacteria and azolla on the performance of rice under different levels of fertilizer nitrogen

Cyanobacteria and/or azolla were inoculated, with urea at 0, 72 or 144 kg N/ha, in plots in which azolla-free Indica rice var. IR 28 was grown. Productive tillers, yield and nitrogen contents of grain and straw positively responded to inoculation with cyanobacteria or azolla, even with fertilizer-N up to 144 kg N/ha. Inoculation improved colonization by cyanobacteria. Azolla were superior to the asymbiotic cyanobacteria in enhancing rice performance. Urea at a rate of 72 kg N/ha was found to support the best colonizations when applied with cyanobacteria or azolla or, to give maximum rice yields, both inoculants.     

Phylogeny of cardinalfishes (Teleostei: Gobiiformes: Apogonidae) and the evolution of visceral bioluminescence

The cardinalfishes (Apogonidae) are a diverse clade of small, mostly reef-dwelling fishes, for which a variety of morphological data have not yielded a consistent phylogeny. We use DNA sequence to hypothesize phylogenetic relationships within Apogonidae and among apogonids and other acanthomorph families, to examine patterns of evolution including the distribution of a visceral bioluminescence system. In conformance with previous studies, Apogonidae is placed in a clade with Pempheridae, Kurtidae, Leiognathidae, and Gobioidei. The apogonid genus Pseudamia is recovered outside the remainder of the family, not as sister to the superficially similar genus Gymnapogon. Species sampled from the Caribbean and Western Atlantic (Phaeoptyx, Astrapogon, and some Apogon species) form a clade, as do the larger-bodied Glossamia and Cheilodipterus. Incidence of visceral bioluminescence is found scattered throughout the phylogeny, independently for each group in which it is present. Examination of the fine structure of the visceral bioluminescence system through histology shows that light organs exhibit a range of morphologies, with some composed of complex masses of tubules (Siphamia, Pempheris, Parapriacanthus) and others lacking tubules but containing chambers formed by folds of the visceral epithelium (Acropoma, Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia). Light organs in Siphamia, Acropoma, Pempheris and Parapriacanthus are distinct from but connected to the gut; those in Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia are simply portions of the intestinal tract, and are little differentiated from the surrounding tissues. The presence or absence of symbiotic luminescent bacteria does not correlate with light organ structure; the tubular light organs of Siphamia and chambered tubes of Acropoma house bacteria, those in Pempheridae and the other Apogonidae do not.     

Evaluation of antiprotozoal and antimycobacterial activities of the resin glycosides and the other metabolites of Scrophularia cryptophila

Resin glycosides are secondary metabolites exclusive to the convolvulaceous plants. In this study, crypthophilic acids A–C (1–3), the first resin glycosides occurring in another family (Scrophulariaceae), and the other constituents of Scrophularia cryptophila were examined for in vitro antiprotozoal and antimycobacterial potentials. Except for crypthophilic acid B (2), all tested compounds exhibited growth-inhibitory effect against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, with l-tryptophan (6) and buddlejasaponin III (7) being the most potent ones (IC₅₀'s 4.1 and 9.7 μg/ml). In contrast, the activity towards Trypanosoma cruzi was poor, and only crypthophilic acid C (3), 6 and 7 were trypanocidal at concentrations above 40 μg/ml. With the exception of 2 and 6, all compounds were active against Leishmania donovani. Harpagide (4) and 3 emerged as the best leishmanicidal agents (IC₅₀'s 2.0 and 5.8 μg/ml). Only compounds 3, 6 and 7 showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with IC₅₀ values of 4.2, 16.6 and 22.4 μg/ml. Overall the best and broadest spectrum activity was presented by compounds 3 and 7, as they inhibited all four parasitic protozoa. None of the isolates had significant activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MICs >100 μg/ml) or were toxic towards mammalian (L6) cells. This is the first report of antiprotozoal activity for natural resin glycosides, as well as for harpagide (4), acetylharpagide (5), tryptophan (6) and buddlejasaponin III (7).
