桃小食心虫和梨小食心虫幼虫肠道细菌多样性

为明确桃小食心虫和梨小食心虫幼虫肠道细菌的结构和多样性,本研究利用Illumina HiSeq技术对饲喂金冠苹果的桃小食心虫和梨小食心虫幼虫肠道细菌的16S rRNA V4变异区进行测序与分析.结果表明: 共获得桃小食心虫幼虫肠道细菌229043条reads,聚类为2112个OTUs,注释得到27个门,65个纲,124个目,205个科,281个属;共获得梨小食心虫幼虫肠道细菌240389条reads,聚类为957个OTUs,注释得到22个门,46个纲,89个目,145个科,180个属.桃小食心虫幼虫肠道细菌以变形菌门(87.98%±5.29%)、厚壁菌门(3.91%±1.19%)和放线菌门(1.04%±0.47%)为主;梨小食心虫肠道细菌以变形菌门(50.06%±19.56%)、厚壁菌门(32.02%±8.48%)和蓝细菌门(25.24%±10.28%)为主.两种食心虫在门、纲、目、科、属、种水平上均存在显著差异.从本研究结果看,即使均以苹果为寄主,两种食心虫幼虫肠道细菌结构和多样性也存在显著差异,桃小食心虫幼虫肠道细菌多样性比梨小食心虫丰富,这可能与两者不同的取食特性和消化机制有关.本研究结果为后期揭示肠道微生物与两种食心虫相互作用关系奠定了基础.

Characterization of the alimentary canal of the aphidophagous ladybird,Adalia bipunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): anatomical and histological approaches

The alimentary canal of the two‐spot ladybird Adalia bipunctata (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) presents the foregut (stomodeum), the midgut (mesenteron) and the hindgut (proctodeum). The shortest region is the foregut and the longest is the midgut. The relative proportions of the main regions were found to be similar for males and females. In the foregut it was possible to distinguish the pharynx, the esophagus and the proventriculus but no crop. The hindgut is composed of the ileum, rectum and rectal canal. Generally the organ width is similar for males and females, but females presented a wider proventriculus. The epithelium of the foregut varied from squamous to simple cuboidal and columnar. In the midgut the epithelium is simple columnar with goblet and regenerative cells. The epithelium of the hindgut varied from simple cuboidal to squamous. Females presented thicker midgut epithelium whereas males presented thicker epithelium in the esophagus. The anatomy of the alimentary canal of A. bipunctata seems to conform to its carnivorous and recent phylogenetic status within the family Coccinellidae.     

The association of serotonin with the alimentary canal of the African migratory locust, Locusta migratoria: distribution, physiology and pharmacological profile

The association of serotonin with the alimentary canal of Locusta migratoria was investigated using immunohistochemistry and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to electrochemical detection. Serotonin-like immunoreactive processes were differentially distributed between and within three regions of the alimentary canal; the foregut, midgut and hindgut. The midgut possessed the most serotonin-like immunoreactive processes, while the hindgut contained only a few immunoreactive processes. Using HPLC coupled to electrochemical detection the serotonin content was highest in the midgut followed by the foregut and hindgut. The physiological response of the midgut to serotonin as well as to the combination of serotonin and proctolin was also examined. It was found that the application of serotonin to the midgut leads to a dose-dependent reduction in tonus of the circular muscles. Serotonin was also able to inhibit a proctolin-induced contraction of the midgut in a dose-dependent manner. The physiological and pharmacological properties of serotonin agonists and antagonists on the midgut were also investigated. The results indicate that alpha-methyl 5-HT was the most effective agonist leading to a 108% relaxation at 10(-9) M compared to that caused by the same serotonin concentration. Among several serotonin receptor antagonists tested, mianserin was the most potent. The application of mianserin at 10(-5) M in combination with 5x10(-6) M serotonin resulted in a 66% reduction of the serotonin-induced relaxation of midgut muscle. The serotonin antagonist cyproheptadine was less effective leading to a 39% reduction of the 5x10(-6) M serotonin-induced relaxation. Ketanserin was a weak antagonist.     

Structural observations on the alimentary canal of Paranthessius anemoniae, a copepod associate of the snakelocks anemone Ammonia sulcata

Light and electron microscopy has shown the alimentary canal of Paranthessius to be composed of clearly defined foregut, midgut and hindgut regions. The spacious foregut is cuticle-lined and separated from the midgut by a valve. The midgut epithelium is composed of columnar cells with an apparent secretary/absorptive rôle, and amoeboid cells thought to engulf material from the lumen. The amoeboid cells have large electron-dense central vacuoles containing carbohydrate-and protein-staining material. These cells appear to be sloughed off into the lumen to form part of a faecal pellet. Apart from their digestive rôle the midgut cells store lipid and it is considered possible that they have an osmoregulatory function. The hindgut epithelium cell type, lacks a cuticular layer and is thought to be mainly concerned with absorption. The alimentary canal is surrounded by strands of longitudinal and circular muscle.

The functional morphology of the alimentary canal of larval stages of the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis

The functional morphology of the alimentary canal of copepodite and chalimus stages of Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837) is described and compared with that found in other copepods studied to date.
The buccal cavity passes into a gut comprising three major regions: foregut (oesophagus), midgut and hindgut. The foregut and hindgut both posscss a cuticular lining whereas the midgut is lined with specialized epithelial cells. The midgut is divided into three recognizable zones, namely anterior midgut caecum, anterior midgut and posterior midgut. Three main types of epithelial cell are recognizable in the midgut: vesicular cells, microvillous cells and basal cells which correspond to the cell types normally described in other parasitic and free-living copepod species.
Digestion is thought to occur in the midgut and be mediated by the epithelial cells that line it. Although several glands appear to discharge into the area of the buccal cavity, none was seen to interface to any other area of the gut. There was no evidence for the involvement of commensal gut bacteria in food digestion.     

The alimentary canal of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Blomia tropicalis</Emphasis> (Acari: Astigmata: Echymopodidae): the application of three-dimensional reconstruction technology

The domestic mite species Blomia tropicalis is an important indoor allergen source related to asthma and other allergic diseases in tropical and subtropical regions. Here, we describe the alimentary canal of B. tropicalis with the particular application of three-dimensional reconstruction technology. The alimentary canal of B. tropicalis resembles the typical acarid form consisting of the cuticle-lined foregut and hindgut separated by a cuticle-free midgut. The foregut is divided into a muscular pharynx and an esophagus. The midgut is composed of a central ventriculus, two lateral caeca, a globular colon and a postcolon with two tubiform postcolonic diverticula. The most common cells forming the epithelium of ventriculus and caeca are squamous and cuboidal. The globular cells contain a big central vacuole in the posterior region of the caeca. The epithelium of the colon and postcolon has significantly longer microvilli. The anal atrium is a simple tube with flattened epithelial cells. The spatial measurements of the three-dimensional model suggest that the paired caeca and central ventriculus occupy 55.1 and 34.6%, respectively, of the total volume of the alimentary canal and may play the key role in food digestion.
