小菜蛾Gloverin like抗菌肽对蝉拟青霉侵染的响应研究

抗菌肽是昆虫天然免疫的重要成分,在抵御病原物的侵染中发挥着重要的作用。昆虫Gloverin抗菌肽是一类仅在鳞翅目昆虫中存在的富含甘氨酸抗菌肽。本研究在转录组测序的基础上对小菜蛾抗菌肽gloverin like基因进行了克隆,其开放阅读框序列全长519 bp,编码172 aa,信号肽为1-17 aa。序列分析表明其序列中甘氨酸的比例为15%,与鳞翅目昆虫Gloverin抗菌肽具有较高的同源性。qRT-PCR结果表明小菜蛾抗菌肽gloverin like基因在脂肪体和血细胞组织中表达量较高。蝉拟青霉、金黄色葡萄球菌及大肠杆菌均可诱导小菜蛾抗菌肽gloverin like基因上调表达,蝉拟青霉诱导12 h后表达量达到最高。利用LC-MS方法在蝉拟青霉侵染的小菜蛾幼虫血淋巴中鉴定出小菜蛾Gloverin like、Gloverin抗菌肽以及Lysozyme II、Transferrin、Prophenoloxidase等抗菌效应蛋白。与对照相比,蝉拟青霉侵染后小菜蛾Toll通路4个免疫基因(βGBP、Toll、Cactus和Dorsal)表达量上升。本研究在抗菌肽方面为进一步研究小菜蛾抵御病原真菌入侵的分子机制提供基础信息,也为新的害虫防治方法提供了思路和靶标。     

玫烟色拟青霉对小菜蛾致病力的时间-剂量-死亡率模型模拟

小菜蛾Plutella xylostella是我国南方十字花科蔬菜上的重要害虫,已对田间常用的化学杀虫剂产生了严重的抗性。为寻找有效的小菜蛾生物防治措施,本实验研究了一株分离自家白蚁的玫烟色拟青霉Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (SCAU-PFCF01)对小菜蛾2～4龄幼虫的致病力。实验采用浸液法,供试浓度为1×10³、1×10⁴、1×10⁵、1×10⁶和1×10⁷个孢子/mL。结果表明：随玫烟色拟青霉孢子浓度的升高,小菜蛾的感病死亡率增加,在浓度为1×10⁷ /mL时,小菜蛾2、3和4龄幼虫的累计死亡率分别为96%、85%和80%。玫烟色拟青霉对小菜蛾各龄幼虫的致病力与供试龄期有关,其感病的敏感顺序为2龄、3龄和4龄。用时间 剂量 死亡率模型（time-dose-mortality model,TDM）对各龄幼虫的致病力数据进行模拟,所建模型均顺利通过Hosmer-Lemeshow拟合异质性检验,表明模型拟合良好,并由模型估计出了该菌株对小菜蛾各龄幼虫的致死剂量与致死时间。2龄幼虫接种后第7天、3龄幼虫接种后第5天、4龄幼虫接种后第4天的LC₅₀估计值分别为1.17×10⁴、1.44×10⁴和5.21×10⁴ /mL,LC₉₀估计值分别为1.98×10⁶、3.82×10⁷和1.29×10⁸ /mL。玫烟色拟青霉对小菜蛾幼虫的致死时间与浓度相关,供试各龄幼虫的LT₅₀值随着孢子悬浮液浓度的增加而递减,在1×10⁵～1×10⁷ /mL的范围内,2龄幼虫的LT₅₀值从3.16天降低到1.72天,3龄幼虫的LT₅₀从3.21天降低到1.83天,4龄幼虫的LT₅₀从3.69天降低到2.04天。即2龄幼虫致死所需的时间最短,其次为3龄幼虫,4龄幼虫致死所需的时间最长。结果显示了该株玫烟色拟青霉在小菜蛾的生物防治中具较强的应用潜力。

Spores of microorganisms

The addition of different cysteine or thioproline concentrations (1–5×10^?4M) to the culture at the outset of the formation ofBacillus cereus prespores, i.e. before the commencement of dipicolinic acid synthesis, led to the death of some of the cells and injured the thermoprotection mechanism of the surviving spores. In control spores with a high dipicolinic acid content, inactivation by heating at 85°C was preceded by a lag phase, while in cysteine- and thioproline-treated spores this lag phase was completely absent and the death rate of most of the spores (D-value=17) was actually higher than the final death rate of the control spores (D-value=33). A small proportion of the spores in inhibited cultures (less than 10%) displayed almost the same heat resistance as untreated spores. The heat sensitivity of treated spores was greater than might have been anticipated from their dipicolinic acid content. Their resistance to X-rays was not lowered, but was actually slightly raised. The results are discussed with reference to the differentiation of a possible “basal” and “additional” spore thermoprotection mechanism and to differentiation of the nature of heat and radiation resistance in bacterial spores.     

Pathogenicity of Paecilomyces fumosoroseus isolates to diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella: correlation with spore size, germination speed, and attachment to cuticle

Infectivity to larvae of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, was compared among eight Paecilomyces fumosoroseus isolates. Isolate infectivity was assessed for correlation with spore length and germination speed. Four isolates applied to P. xylostella cuticle were also compared for number of spores remaining on the cuticle after washing and for percentage germination after 36 h. Infection of larvae inoculated with the different isolates at an average dosage of 4000 conidia/cm2 ranged from 2 to 47%. The correlation of infectivity with spore length and germination speed in broth was highly significant. Fewer spores of the least infective isolate, ARSEF 1576, attached to larval cuticle compared to spores of the more infective isolates ARSEF 3682, 4461, and 4482 (P < 0.05). After 36 h on larval cuticle, the percentage of spores germinated for isolates 1576 and 3682 was 3 and 95%, respectively. Spores of isolate 1576 were smaller, germinated more slowly, and attached to cuticle in smaller numbers than spores of the more infective isolates. Further research will expand our understanding of the mechanisms of virulence among isolates of P. fumosoroseus.     

Experimental Infection of Nosema sp. Ghose in an Unnatural Host Lesioderma sericorne

ABSTRACT. Various doses of a microsporan parasite, Nosema sp., were fed to third and fourth instar larvae of Lesioderma sericorne that infested different types of stored grains. A spore dose of 3 × 10³ spores/individual resulted in a 39% infection rate, reduction in larval and adult weights, and mean spore concentrations of 1.28 ± 0.2 × 10⁸ spores/larva and 1.1 ± 0.2 × 10⁸ spores/adult. At the above dose, mortality was not well marked (about 35% in larvae and 25% in adults). At 3 × 10⁴ spores/individual, the rate of mortality increases to 80% in larvae and 60% in adults. However, more of the pest population (88% of larvae and 73% of adults) died at a dose of 3 × 10⁵ spores/individual. This dose produced mean spore concentrations of 3.91 ± 0.2 × 10⁸ spores/larva and 2.89 ± 0.2 × 10⁸ spores/adult. Insect death was caused by heavy damage to gut epithelia and fat bodies.     

绿僵菌素对爪哇棒孢霉SP053菌株的影响及其混用对小菜蛾的联合毒力

为了寻找更有效的利用虫生真菌爪哇棒孢霉Isaria javanicus防治小菜蛾Plutella xylostella的新方法, 测定了绿僵菌素（destruxin）对SP053菌株生长发育与产孢量与萌发率的影响, 利用协同毒力指数法和毒力回归分析法评价了两者混用对小菜蛾2龄幼虫的联合毒力。结果表明: 绿僵菌素对SP053菌株菌丝生长、孢子萌发率和孢子产量均无显著影响（P>0.05）。而一定浓度的绿僵菌素与SP053菌株分生孢子混用具有增效作用, S50-CD100（指爪哇棒孢霉SP053菌株的分生孢子浓度为50×10⁵个/mL和绿僵菌素粗毒素的浓度为100 mg/L的组合; 依此类推）、S25-CD100、S25-CD50及S12.5-CD100等混配组合都有显著的增效效果, 尤其以S25-CD100组合增效效果最好, 其48 h和72 h的协同毒力指数（c.f.）分别达到52.31和31.07。毒力回归分析结果也显示, 添加绿僵菌素粗毒素25~100 mg/L的混剂的LC50值明显降低, 比如添加100 mg/L绿僵菌素粗毒素的混剂（SP053-CD100）, 其48和72 h的LC50分别为17.45和10.55 （×10⁵个孢子/mL）, 而SP053菌株分生孢子单剂的LC50相应值为>50和35.85（×10⁵个孢子/mL）。本研究证明绿僵菌素与爪哇棒孢霉SP053菌株混用有增效作用, 对改进小菜蛾的生物防治方法有一定指导意义。     

Bottom-up effect of different host plants on Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae): a life-table study on canola

The effects of 10 commercial canola, Brassica napus L., cultivars widely grown in Iran--'SLM(046),' 'Opera,' 'Okapi,' 'RGS(003),' 'Modena,' 'Sarigol,' 'Zarfam,' 'Licord,' 'Hayula(420),' and 'Talaye'--on the demographic parameters of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera-Plutellidae), were determined. The experiments were conducted in a growth chamber at 25 +/- 1 degrees C, 65 +/- 2% RH, and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) h. The comparison of intrinsic rate of natural increase (r(m)), net reproductive rate (R0), and the survival rate of adult stage of P. xylostella on 10 canola cultivars suggested that this pest performed best on SLM(046). The r(m) value of P. xylostella ranged between 0.241 on RGS(003) and 0.304 on SLM(046). The R0, finite rate of increase (lambda), mean generation time (T), and doubling time (DT) values of P. xylostella on SLM(046) were 52, 1.35, 13.4, and 2.35 and on RGS(003) were 31, 1.27, 14.4, and 2.94, respectively. The Weibull model adequately described the shape of the survivorship curve of adult P. xylostella from life-table data. A significant fit was obtained with the Weibull model for P. xylostella in all experimental canola cultivars. As a result, SLM(046), Opera, and Hayula(420) were the most suitable hosts and had least negative impact on life-history statistics of the pest.

Low-Temperature Irradiation of Beef and Methods for Evaluation of a Radappertization Process

An inoculated, irradiated beef pack (1,240 cans) study was conducted for the determination of microbiological safety for unrestricted human consumption. Each can contained a mixture of 10⁶ spores of each of 10 strains of Clostridium botulinum (5 type A and 5 type B), or a total of 10⁷ spores/can. The cans were irradiated to various doses (100 cans/dose) with ⁶⁰Co gamma rays at -30 ± 10 C, incubated at 30 ± 2 C for 6 months, and examined for swelling, toxicity, and recoverable botulinal cells. The minimal experimental sterilizing dose based on nonswollen, nontoxic sterile cans was 2.2 < experimental sterilizing dose ≤ 2.6 Mrad. Using recoverable cells as the most stringent criterion of spoilage, and assuming the conventional simple exponential (without an initial shoulder) rate of spore kill, the “12D” dose was 3.7 Mrad when estimated on the basis of a mixture of 10 strains totaling 10⁷ spores/can, and 4.3 Mrad if it is assumed that each can of beef contained 10⁶ spores of a single most resistant strain and all of these spores were of identical resistances. However, an analysis of the data by extreme value statistics indicated with 90% confidence that the spore death rate was not a simple exponential but might be a shifted exponential (with an initial shoulder), Weibull, lognormal, or normal, with a “12D” equivalent of about 3.0 Mrad regardless of the initial spore density per can. There was an apparent antagonism between the irradiated type A and B strains in the cans. Some of the cans contained type B toxin but did not include type B viable cells. Other cans had a mixture of type A and B toxins, but a large number of these cans did not yield recoverable type B cells. However, type A viable cells could always be demonstrated in those cans containing type A toxin.     

Heat sensitization of bacterial spores after exposure to ethidium bromide, acriflavine, or daunomycin.

A 20-min exposure of 10(7) unmodified spores of either Bacillus subtilis NCTC 3610 (harvested from potato-dextrose agar plus manganese) or Bacillus megaterium ATCC 19213 (harvested from nutrient agar plus manganese) per ml to 5 microgram of ethidium bromide per ml did not kill the spores (recovered on TAM [thermoacidurans agar modified]-plus thymidine medium). However, in both cases, the ability to survive various heat treatments was reduced after exposure of the spores to ethidium bromide. With B. subtilis, a 10-min heat treatment at 85 degrees C of unexposed spores resulted in an 85% survival rate, whereas only 50% of the ethidium bromide-exposed spores survived. With B. megaterium similar results were obtained at 75 degrees C; 77% of the unexposed spores survived, whereas only 31% of the ethidium bromide-exposed spores survived. Similarly, a 10-min exposure of B. subtilis spores to 0.005 microgram of acriflavine per ml did not kill unheated spores; however, the ability of the spores to survive exposure at 85 degrees C for 10 min was reduced to 40%. After exposure to 10 microgram of daunomycin per ml, the survival rate was 35%. Binding studies with ethidium bromide showed strong binding to spores, but as yet, the site of binding is unknown.     

球囊霉属几种AM真菌孢子表面消毒与萌发的研究*

Spores of two fish microsporidia (Pseudoloma neurophilia and Glugea anomala) are highly resistant to chlorine

Pseudoloma neurophilia (Microsporidia) is the most common pathogen found in zebrafish Danio rerio research facilities. The parasite is associated with marked emaciation. Zebrafish laboratories usually disinfect eggs to prevent transmission of pathogens, typically with chlorine at 25 to 50 ppm for 10 min. The ability of chlorine to kill spores of P. neurophilia and 2 other microsporidia, Glugea anomala and Encephalitozoon cuniculi, was evaluated using 2 viability stains. SYTOX Green was used to visualize dead spores, and live spores were identified by their ability to extrude polar tubes in Fungi-Fluor solution following UV exposure. Results with both stains were similar at various chlorine concentrations for P. neurophilia and G. anomala, but Fungi-Fluor was not useful for E. cuniculi, due to the much smaller spore size. Using the SYTOX stain, we found that 5 ppm chlorine for 10 min causes 100% death in spores of E. cuniculi, which was similar to findings in other studies. In contrast, the spores of P. neurophilia and G. anomala were much more resistant to chlorine, requiring >100 or 1500 ppm chlorine, respectively, to achieve >95% spore death. Repeating chlorine exposures with spores of P. neurophilia using solutions adjusted to pH 7 increased the efficacy of 100 ppm chlorine, achieving >99% spore inactivation. We corroborated our viability staining results with experimental exposures of zebrafish fry, achieving heavy infections in fry at 5 to 7 d post-exposure in fish fed spores treated at 50 ppm (pH 9). Some fish still became infected with spores exposed to 100 ppm chlorine (pH 9.5). This study demonstrates that spores of certain fish microsporidia are highly resistant to chlorine, and indicates that the egg disinfection protocols presently used by most zebrafish research facilities will not prevent transmission of P. neurophilia to progeny.
