冻融末期川西亚高山/高山森林土壤水解酶活性特征

冻融末期是连接冬季与生长季节的关键时期,期间强烈的温度变化可能深刻影响土壤生态过程.为了解冻融末期川西亚高山/高山森林土壤的生化过程,2009年3月5日-4月25日土壤融化期间,研究了该区典型冷杉原始林、针阔混交林和冷杉次生林土壤转化酶、脲酶和磷酸酶(中性、酸性和碱性磷酸酶)活性特征.结果表明:在土壤完全冻结期,3个森林群落各水解酶的活性仍相对较高.在土壤融化前期,随土壤温度升高,除中性磷酸酶外,其他水解酶活性均出现了一个爆发性增高然后迅速降低的过程.随后,除转化酶外,其他水解酶活性均随土壤温度的升高而持续增高.相对于矿质土壤层,冻融末期土壤有机层的水解酶活性更高,对土壤温度变化的响应更加明显.     

雪被去除对川西高山森林冬季土壤温度及碳、氮、磷动态的影响

气候变暖导致的雪被动态格局变化可能深刻影响高山森林生态过程.为了解气候变暖背景下雪被的减少对川西高山森林土壤生态过程的影响,2009年10月19日-2010年5月18日,采用遮雪方法,研究了雪被去除对该区冷杉原始林土壤温度和碳、氮、磷的影响.结果表明:雪被去除加大了土温日变化幅度和冻融循环频次,使土壤冻结和融化时间提前.雪被去除使土壤可溶性碳和可溶性氮、有效磷、铵态氮和硝态氮冬季含量高峰提前到雪被覆盖期;雪被覆盖期至融化期的可溶性碳和氮及硝态氮含量增加,但有效磷和铵态氮含量降低,改变了其组分比例.气候变暖引起的川西高山森林雪被减少将改变土壤外部环境条件,进而影响土壤碳、氮和磷过程.     

川西亚高山/高山森林土壤氧化还原酶活性及其对季节性冻融的响应

川西亚高山/高山森林土壤通常具有明显的季节性冻融特征。为深入了解川西亚高山/高山森林冬季土壤生态过程,于2008年11月-2009年10月,在土壤初冻期、冻结期和融化期及生长季节,研究了不同海拔(3582 m、3292 m和3023 m)岷江冷杉林的土壤氧化还原酶活性及其对土壤冻融的响应。土壤冻结时间和冻融循环次数随海拔的增加而增加。冻融格局显著影响了土壤氧化还原酶活性,但不同土壤酶在不同海拔表现出明显差异。土壤过氧化物酶和脱氢酶活性受初冻期冻融循环和温度降低影响显著下降,而过氧化氢酶活性明显上升。3种土壤氧化还原酶活性在土壤温度相对稳定的冻结期变化不显著,但在融化期随着土壤温度急剧增加经历一个明显的活性高峰后快速降低,且冻结时间最长和冻融循环次数最多的3582 m变化更为显著。此外,海拔和土层的交互作用显著影响了过氧化物物活性,但对脱氢酶和过氧化氢酶活性不显著。脱氢酶活性与土壤温度极显著相关,但过氧化物酶和过氧化氢酶活性与土壤温度的相关性随海拔差异而不同。这些结果表明川西亚高山/高山森林冬季土壤氧化还原酶仍然具有较高的活性,但受到季节性冻融及其变化的显著影响。     

雪被斑块对川西亚高山冷杉林土壤氮转化酶活性的影响

在2012和2013年冬季雪被形成的3个关键时期(雪被形成期、稳定期和消融期),测定川西亚高山岷江冷杉林3类雪被斑块(厚雪被斑块、中厚度雪被斑块和浅雪被斑块)土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的脲酶、硝酸还原酶和亚硝酸还原酶活性特征.结果表明:整个冬季,厚雪被斑块土壤温度比中厚度雪被斑块和浅雪被斑块土壤温度分别增加46.2%和26.2%,浅雪被斑块的3种土壤氮转化酶活性是厚雪被斑块的0.8~3.9倍.在雪被形成期和消融期,浅雪被斑块显著增加了土壤有机层和矿质土壤层3种氮转化酶活性;而在雪被稳定期,中厚度雪被斑块或厚雪被斑块土壤具有较高的氮转化酶活性,但与浅雪被斑块的土壤氮转化酶活性差异均不显著;整个冬季,雪被对土壤氮转化酶活性的影响与采样时期、土壤层次和酶种类有关;3种土壤氮转化酶活性在整个冬季均具有明显动态变化;土壤有机层的氮转化酶活性显著高于矿质土壤层;脲酶、硝酸还原酶和亚硝酸还原酶活性与温度、水分密切相关.短期内气候变暖情景下冬季雪被减少可能提高土壤氮转化酶活性,进而加速了亚高山森林冬季土壤氮转化过程.     

豆磺隆对北方草甸棕壤土壤酶活性的影响

通过室内模拟方法,以北方具有代表性的草甸棕壤为研究对象,研究了除草剂豆磺隆对土壤脲酶、转化酶和三种磷酸酶活性的影响。结果显示,在试验浓度范围内,豆磺隆对土壤脲酶和转化酶总体上有激活作用,影响幅度分别为3.07%—20.02%和?1.73%—5.67%;除个别浓度外,豆磺隆对三种土壤磷酸酶均有抑制作用,豆磺隆浓度为5 mg?kg–1时对酸性磷酸酶的抑制作用最强,抑制率为17.92%,对中性磷酸酶的抑制率仅在0.77%—1.54%之间,对碱性磷酸酶的抑制率为8.95%—20.60%。豆磺隆对脲酶、转化酶、酸性磷酸酶和中性磷酸酶活性的影响较小,且未表现出明显规律性,仅与碱性磷酸酶呈显著(p0.05)的对数负相关关系,表明碱性磷酸酶在一定程度上可作为豆磺隆污染土壤的监测指标。     

模拟大气CO2浓度和温度升高对亚高山冷杉(Abies faxoniana)林土壤酶活性的影响

采用控制环境生长室研究了川西亚高山森林生态系统中与C、N、P循环有关的土壤转化酶、脲酶、硝酸还原酶和酸性磷酸酶活性的月动态及其对模拟大气CO2浓度增加、温度升高以及交互作用的动态响应。在一个生长季节内,土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的转化酶、脲酶、硝酸还原酶和酸性磷酸酶的活性高峰均出现在温度较高的夏季。其中,土壤有机层的转化酶活性高峰出现在6月份,但土壤矿质层的转化酶活性高峰出现在7月份,土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的脲酶和酸性磷酸酶的活性高峰均出现在7月份,而硝酸还原酶的活性高峰均出现在8月份。升高大气CO2浓度处理(EC)对土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的转化酶、脲酶、硝酸还原酶和酸性磷酸酶活性没有显著影响。升高温度处理(ET)显著增加了土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的酶活性,并且土壤有机层的转化酶、硝酸还原酶和脲酶活性增加更显著。大气CO2浓度增加和温度升高之间的交互作用(ECT)对土壤有机层和矿质土壤层酶活性的影响主要是温度升高引起的。     

雪被去除对川西高山冷杉林冬季土壤微生物生物量碳氮和可培养微生物数量的影响

为了解气候变暖情景下雪被减少对冬季土壤微生物特征的影响,采用人工遮雪的方法,研究了雪被去除对原始冷杉林土壤微生物生物量和可培养微生物数量的影响.结果表明:雪被去除显著影响土壤微生物生物量碳(MBC)和氮(MBN)以及可培养细菌和真菌数量,但土壤微生物在雪被覆盖不同阶段具有不同的响应特征.在雪被去除处理下,土壤有机层MBC和MBN在雪被形成初期和雪被融化前期显著降低,而在雪被覆盖期和雪被融化后期显著增加;在雪被形成初期至雪被覆盖期,可培养细菌数量都显著降低,但可培养真菌数量都显著增加.雪被融化后,雪被去除显著降低土壤有机层MBC和可培养真菌数量,显著增加可培养细菌数量,对MBN无显著影响.矿质土壤层MBC、MBN和可培养微生物数量在雪被去除下的变化趋势与土壤有机层基本一致,但波动较小.雪被去除还改变了川西高山冷杉林冬季土壤微生物类群比,提高了土壤可培养真菌数量的冬季优势.     

模拟大气CO2浓度和温度升高对亚高山冷杉(Abies faxoniana)林土壤酶活性的影响

采用控制环境生长室研究了川西亚高山森林生态系统中与C、N、P循环有关的土壤转化酶、脲酶、硝酸还原酶和酸性磷酸酶活性的月动态及其对模拟大气CO₂浓度增加、温度升高以及交互作用的动态响应。在一个生长季节内,土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的转化酶、脲酶、硝酸还原酶和酸性磷酸酶的活性高峰均出现在温度较高的夏季。其中,土壤有机层的转化酶活性高峰出现在6月份,但土壤矿质层的转化酶活性高峰出现在7月份,土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的脲酶和酸性磷酸酶的活性高峰均出现在7月份,而硝酸还原酶的活性高峰均出现在8月份。升高大气CO₂浓度处理(EC)对土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的转化酶、脲酶、硝酸还原酶和酸性磷酸酶活性没有显著影响。升高温度处理(ET)显著增加了土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的酶活性,并且土壤有机层的转化酶、硝酸还原酶和脲酶活性增加更显著。大气CO₂浓度增加和温度升高之间的交互作用(ECT)对土壤有机层和矿质土壤层酶活性的影响主要是温度升高引起的。     

川西高山森林不同时期土壤转化酶和脲酶活性对模拟气候变暖的响应

为了解气候变化对不同时期川西高山森林土壤生态过程的影响,于2010年5月—2011年4月期间,通过原状土柱移位实验,模拟理论增温1.78℃和3.52℃对岷江冷杉原始林(3582 m)土壤转化酶和脲酶活性的影响。结果表明,海拔下降284 m和559 m分别使全年平均气温实际增高1.39℃和2.64℃,但由于季节性雪被的影响,海拔降低559 m后土柱的土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的全年平均温度分别增加了0.84℃和0.82℃,而海拔降低284 m后土柱的土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的全年平均温度分别降低了0.55℃和0.56℃。随着海拔降低,土壤有机层和矿质土壤层的转化酶和脲酶活性均表现出明显的变化,且土壤有机层的变化幅度大于矿质土壤层。海拔降低284 m显著提高了两个土层生长季初期和冻结阶段(冻结初期和深冻期)的转化酶活性,而海拔降低559 m则显著提高了两个土层冻结阶段的脲酶活性。采样时期均温也在一定程度上影响了土壤转化酶和脲酶的活性,土壤有机层和矿质土壤层转化酶活性表现为从生长季初期到生长季末期显著下降,随后在冻结阶段和融化期显著升高并分别在深冻期和融化期达到全年最高;土壤脲酶活性表现为从生长季初期到深冻期显著增加,随后在融化期显著下降的过程。可见,受季节性雪被影响,不同关键时期的高山森林土壤转化酶和脲酶活性对模拟增温的响应不同。     

不同施氮量对桑园红壤耕层酶活性的影响

在广西红壤典型气候区研究施用氮肥对桑园土壤过氧化氢酶、脲酶、酸性磷酸酶和转化酶酶活性的影响,为广西红壤区桑园合理施氮和耕地保育提供科学依据。试验设置3个施氮量水平(N1:120.75 kg N/hm2,N2:172.5 kg N/hm2,N3:207 kg N/hm2),在冬季测定不同氮肥处理下耕层土壤酶活性,并与桑叶产量进行相关分析。结果表明,土壤脲酶和转化酶活性均随着施氮量的增加而增加,过氧化氢酶和酸性磷酸酶活性在中等施氮量(N2处理)下较大。土壤转化酶和脲酶活性呈显著的正相关关系、转化酶和磷酸酶活性呈显著的正相关关系,土壤脲酶、磷酸酶、转化酶活性与桑叶产量呈极显著相关。合理施用氮肥能提高桑园土壤转化酶、磷酸酶、脲酶活性,土壤脲酶和蔗糖酶活性可作为评价桑园土壤肥力质量的指标之一。     

Photoregulation of seed germination of wild-type and of an aurea-mutant of tomato

Seed germination of an aurea mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is promoted by continuous irradiation with red, far-red or long-wavelength far-red (758 nm) light as well as by cyclic irradiations (5 min red or 5 min far-red/25 min darkness). Far-red light applied immediately after each red does not change the germination behaviour. Seed germination of the isogenic wild-type, cv. UC-105, is promoted by continuous and cyclic red light while it is inhibited by continuous and cyclic far-red light and by continious 758 nm irradiation. Far-red irradiation reverses almost completely the promoting effect of red light. The promoting effect (in the aurea mutant) and the inhibitory effect (in the wild-type) of continuous far-red light do not show photon fluence rate dependency above 20 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It is concluded that phytochrome controls tomato seed germination throgh low energy responses in both the wild type and the au mutant. The promoting effect of continuous and cyclic far-red light in the au mutant can be attributed to a greater sensitivity to P_fr.

Interconnection of parameters of regulation system of lipid peroxidation and of morphophysiological parameters of mouse liver

A complex analysis of seasonal fluctuations of the mean group parameters of the system of regulation of lipid peroxidation has been performed in liver of Balb/c mice. Association of lipid characteristics and morphophysiological parameters is studied in the Balb/c mouse liver. An inter-connection is revealed between the liver index and the amount of lysoforms of phospholipids, the scale and character of the interconnection differing essentially depending on proportion of phos-phatidylcholine in mouse liver phospholipids.     

Physiological characteristics of various species of strains of carboxydobacteria

Seven strains of aerobic carbon monoxide-oxidizing bacteria (carboxydebacteria) when growing on CO as sole source of carbon and energy had doubling times which ranged from 12–42 h. The activity profiles obtained after discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation indicated that the CO-oxidizing enzymes are soluble and the hydrogenases are membrane-bound in all strains examined. The CO-oxidizing enzymes of Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena, Pseudomonas carboxydoflava, Comamonas compransoris, and the so far unidentified strains OM2, OM3, and OM4 had a molecular weight of 230,000; that of Achromobacter carboxydus amounted to 170,000. The molecular weights of the CO-oxidizing and H₂-oxidizing enzymes turned out to be identical. The cell sonicates were shown to catalyze the oxidation of both CO and H₂ with methylene blue, thionine, phenazine methosulfate, toluylene blue, dichlorophenolindophenol, cytochrome c or ferricyanide as electron acceptors. Methyl viologen, benzyl viologen, FAD⁺, FMN⁺, and NAD(P)⁺ were not reduced. The spectrum of electron acceptors was identical for all strains tested. Neither free formate, hydrogen nor oxygen gas were involved in the CO-oxidation reaction. Methylene blue was reduced by CO at a 1:1 molar ratio. The results indicate that CO-oxidation by carboxydobacteria is catalyzed by identical or similar enzymes and that the reaction obeys the equation CO+H₂OCO₂+2H⁺+2e^- as previously shown for Pseudomonas carboxydovorans.Dedicated to Otto Kandler remembering almost three decades of enjoyable cooperation     

Modulation of allostery of pyruvate kinase by shifting of an ensemble of microstates

Since the introduction of the concepts of allostery about four decades ago, much advancement has been made in elucidating the structure-function correlation in allostery. However, there are still a number of issues that remain unresolved. In this review we used mammalian pyruvate kinase (PK) as a model system to understand the role of protein dynamics in modulating cooperativity. PK has a triosephosphate isomerase (TIM)(α/β)₈ barrel structural motif. PK is an ideal system to address basic questions regarding regulatory mechanisms about this common (α/β)₈ structural motif. The simplest model accounting for all of the solution thermodynamic and kinetic data on ligand-enzyme interactions involves two conformational states, inactive E^T and active E^R. These conformational states are represented by domain movements. Further studies provide the first evidence for a differential effect of ligand binding on the dynamics of the structural elements, not major secondary structural changes. These data are consistent with our model that allosteric regulation of PK is the consequence of perturbation of the distribution of an ensemble of states in which the inactive E^T and active E^R represent the two extreme end states. Sequence differences and ligands can modulate the distribution of states leading to alterations of functions. The future work includes: defining the network of functionally connected residues; elucidating the chemical principles governing the sequence differences which affect functions; and probing the nature of mutations on the stability of the secondary structural elements, which in turn modulate allostery.

History of the discovery of the mode of transmission of yellow fever virus

This essay documents and examines the historical circumstances and events surrounding the discovery of the mode of transmission of yellow fever virus in Cuba. Close scrutiny of the articles published by Walter Reed and his colleagues in 1900, 1901 and 1902 reveals their limitations as historic documents. Fortunately, other sources of information from that period survive in letters and documents written by individuals involved in the quest for the mode of transmission. Examination and comparison of those sources of information unveiled a fascinating story which reveals that misunderstandings engendered by published articles accorded merit where it was not fully due.
