哈茨木霉的培养及其对烟草疫霉生长的抑制研究

哈茨木霉是一类重要的植病生防因子。哈茨木霉TH-1分别在PDA培养基、麦芽糖培养基、查氏培养基和琼脂培养基上培养均能产孢,其中PDA培养基为最适培养基。PDA培养基上,菌丝生长适宜温度27．5℃～35℃,最适温度32．5℃,产孢最适温度27．5℃。菌丝生长适宜pH值为3～7,产孢适宜pH值为5-9,生长与产孢最适pH值为5。光照对菌丝生长影响不大但明显影响菌株的产孢数量,光照时间越长产孢量越大。对峙培养试验表明TH-1明显抑制疫霉菌的生长速率,其无菌滤液明显抑制烟草疫霉菌游动孢子的萌发,并抑制游动孢子芽管的伸长,TH-1对游动孢子萌发的相对抑制率为12．7％,对芽管生长长度的相对抑制率为63．1％。水解酶平板活性测定显示,TH-1产生β-1,3葡聚糖酶与纤维素酶,从而使烟草疫霉菌细胞壁的消解,产生非挥发性抗生素抑制烟草疫霉菌孢子萌发,但对菌丝生长影响不大。     

交变应力作用下烟草细胞热力学相行为的研究

研究了交变应力对烟草愈伤组织细胞的影响, 采用本实验室研制的强声波发生装置来产生交变应力场, 并利用差式扫描量热仪（ＤＳＣ） 研究了不同强度和频率的交变应力作用后烟草细胞热力学相行为的变化。研究结果表明：交变应力的影响与应力的频率和强度密切相关,一定频率和强度范围内的交变应力能使得植物细胞的相变温度有明显的降低, 而过高频率的应力刺激则会使细胞相变温度升高。细胞热力学相变反映了细胞壁膜的流动性,相变温度变低表明细胞壁膜的流动性增强, 这必然为细胞的生长和分裂提供了便利的条件。 因此, 对于从细胞和分子水平研究交变应力对植物生长、发育的影响及其作用机理是一个很有意义的尝试

Survival and Infectivity of Pneumocystis carinii Outside the Mammalian Host.

SUMMARY Air blower prefilters servicing HEPA-filtered Biobubble housing Pneumocystis carinii -infected rats were stored for up to five months at -80°C to room temperature. After storage, 76% of immunosuppressed rats exposed to these prefilters developed P. carinii infections. In contrast, only 4% of control immunosuppressed rats exposed to autoclaved filters had P. carinii infections. These observations indicate that the organism has a dormant form that remains infective for at least several months outside the mammalian host.     

The obesity in bilateral ovariectomized rats is related to a decrease in the expression of leptin receptors in the brain.

We investigated the expression levels of leptin receptors in the brain of ovariectomized (OVX) rats. The mean expression level of ob mRNA in adipose tissues of OVX rats was significantly (P < 0.01) lower than that in the SHAM operation group rats, and the mean body weight of OVX rats was significantly (P < 0.01) greater than that in the SHAM group rats. However, there were no differences between serum leptin concentrations in these two groups. The mean level of leptin receptor (OB-R) mRNA expression in the brain tissue and the mean level of long form type OB-R (OB-RL) mRNA expression in the hypothalamus of the OVX rats were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than those in the SHAM group rats. These changes were cancelled by supplementation with 17 beta-estradiol in OVX rats. These results suggested that not only changes in the expression level of ob mRNA in adipose tissue and the serum leptin concentration but also changes in the OB-R mRNA in the brain are involved in the body weight increase in OVX rats and that a decrease in OB-R makes transmission of signals to suppress the amount of food intake difficult, thus leading to an increase in body weight.     

A floristic-structural gradient related to land forms in the southern Chihuahuan Desert

Abstract. The purposes of this study were to elucidate the floristic and structural characteristics of the vegetationin the Mapimi subdivision of the Chihuahuan Desert, Mexico, and to relate them to environmental variation. The main question addressed was: How does floristic composition, total species richness and life-form species richness vary in relation to environmental change? 154 sites, randomly selected and stratified over seven landscape units, were analyzed. Results showed the existence of a land form gradient along which vegetation types were ordered. Species richness varied along the gradient, the richest land form was bajada, indicating that the maximum species richness did not occur at one extreme of the water availability gradient but in a moderately poor situation. The lowest species richness was found in the playa land form. Cover-based life form spectra varied significantly with land forms, while presence-absence based life form spectra did not. It is suggested that this may be a consequence of the relatively young age of this desert.     

Transcriptional organization of the Drosophila melanogaster ribosomal RNA genes.

Five distinct DNA replicating intermediates have been separated from lysates of bacteriophage G4-infected cells pulse-labelled during the period of replicative form synthesis using propidium diiodide/caesium chloride gradients. These are a partially single-stranded theta structure that is labelled in both the viral and complementary DNA strands; partially single-stranded circles, some with an unfinished viral DNA strand (25%) and some with an unfinished complementary DNA strand (75%); replicative form II(RFII) and replicative form I(RFI) DNA labelled only in the complementary DNA strand. To explain the pulse-label data a model is proposed in which G4 replicative form replication takes place by a displacement mechanism in which synthesis of the new viral DNA strand displaces the old viral DNA strand as a single-stranded DNA loop (D-loop) and when the displacement reaches half way round the molecule (the origin of synthesis of the G4 viral and complementary DNA strands are on opposite sides of the genome, Martin &; Godson 1977) synthesis of the complementary DNA strand starts, but in the opposite direction. Strand separation of the parent helix runs ahead of DNA synthesis, releasing two partially single-stranded circles from the replicating structure which then complete their replication as free single-stranded DNA circles. No evidence was found to support a rolling circle displacement mechanism of G4 replicative form synthesis.

G4 DNA replication: I. Origin of synthesis of the viral and complementary DNA strands

The break in the complementary DNA strand of early G4 replicative form II DNA (RFII) and in the viral DNA strand of late RFII DNA was located using two single cleavage restriction enzymes (EcoRI and PstI) and by limited nick translation of the break using DNA polymerase I and ³²P-labelled deoxyribonucleotides followed by digestion with the restriction enzymes HaeIII and HindII. The break in the complementary DNA strand was unique and in HaeIII Z5 close to the EcoRI cleavage site whereas the break in the viral DNA strand was on the other side of the molecule in HaeIII Z2 approxiately 50% away from the EcoRI cleavage site. Distribution of a short ³H pulse in early G4 replicating intermediates that were synthesising both DNA strands at the same time showed that synthesis of the strands started on opposite sides of the molecule and proceeded in opposite convergent directions, suggesting that initiation of synthesis of the two strands was independent and not unified in a single growing fork.     

Evidence for subdivision within the M molecular form of Anopheles gambiae

The principal vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, Anopheles gambiae is subdivided into two molecular forms M and S. Additionally, several chromosomal forms, characterized by the presence of various inversion polymorphisms, have been described. The molecular forms M and S each contain several chromosomal forms, including the Savanna, Mopti and Forest forms. The M and S molecular forms are now considered to be the reproductive units within A. gambiae and it has recently been argued that a low recombination rate in the centromeric region of the X chromosome has facilitated isolation between these forms. The status of the chromosomal forms remains unclear however. Therefore, we studied genetic differentiation between Savanna S, Forest S, Forest M and Mopti M populations using microsatellites. Genetic differentiation between Savanna S and Forest S populations is very low (F(ST) = 0.0053 +/- 0.0049), even across large distances. In comparison, the Mopti M and Forest M populations show a relatively high degree of genetic differentiation (F(ST) = 0.0406 +/- 0.0054) indicating that the M molecular form may not be a single entity, but could be subdivided into at least two distinct chromosomal forms. Previously it was proposed that inversions have played a role in the origin of species within the A. gambiae complex. We argue that a possible subdivision within the M molecular form could be understood through this process, with the acquisition of inversions leading to the expansion of the M molecular form into new habitat, dividing it into two distinct chromosomal forms.     

Comparison of partial denaturation maps with the known sequence of simian virus 40 and phi X174 replicative form DNA.

Electron microscope partial denaturation maps of two viral DNAs, simian virus 40 and φX174 replicative form, have been obtained. A simple computer program has been developed to predict denaturation maps from any given DNA sequence, based on the percentage of A · T base-pairs along the molecule. Maps constructed from the SV40 DNA and φX174 replicative form DNA base sequence show a good correlation with the experimental maps. The results show that the regions of a DNA molecule that denature first are, in fact, those regions with the highest content of adenine and thymine base-pairs.
