壬基酚对三角褐指藻的毒性效应及其机理

为了探讨壬基酚(Nonylphenol,NP)对海洋微藻的生态毒性效应,实验选择三角褐指藻(Phaeodactylum triconutum Bohlin)作为受试对象,设置7 个NP 质量浓度梯度(0、0.2、0.4、0.6、0.8、1.0 和2.0 mg·L^-1),测定了不同浓度处理下三角褐指藻的生长情况、光合色素含量、可溶性蛋白含量、丙二醛(MDA)含量及最大光能转化效率(Fv/Fm)以及24 h,48 h,72 h,96 hEC₅₀ 等指标。结果表明,NP 对三角褐指藻的96 h EC50 为0.84 mg·L^-1;当NP 暴露浓度在0.4 mg·L^-1 以上时对三角褐指藻生长表现抑制效应,而且随着NP 质量浓度的增加,生长抑制效应加强,当暴露浓度≥1.0mg·L^-1 时即可造成藻细胞大量死亡,当NP暴露浓度≥2.0mg·L^-1 时,藻细胞基本不能生长。三角褐指藻的细胞密度、可溶性蛋白含量、光合色素含量以及Fv/Fm 等指标随NP 暴露浓度质量浓度的增加而下降的幅度更加显著,暴露处理24 h,MDA 含量随NP 质量浓度的增加而上升,表明较高质量浓度的NP 胁迫,使藻细胞膜脂过氧化程度增强,可能会导致细胞膜结构的破坏和功能的丧失。NP 对三角褐指藻的生长具有明显的毒性效应,并可以造成抗氧化酶系统和光合系统的损伤。     

UV-B辐射增强对三种赤潮微藻DNA的伤害效应

运用生态毒理学和生物化学方法研究了UV-B辐射增强对赤潮异弯藻、亚历山大藻和中肋骨条藻DNA的伤害作用.结果表明,3种赤潮微藻的生长状况对UV-B辐射增强的敏感性不同;对UV-B辐射增强的敏感性由高到低依次是赤潮异弯藻、亚历山大藻和中肋骨条藻.随着UV-B辐射剂量的增加,3种赤潮微藻的DNA损伤程度提高,而且赤潮异弯藻DNA的损伤程度明显高于亚历山大藻和中肋骨条藻,亚历山大藻DNA的伤害程度又远远高于中肋骨条藻.UV-B辐射处理解除后,损伤DNA可明显恢复.赤潮异湾藻和亚历山大藻恢复培养6d,损伤DNA可明显恢复(P＜0.05);而中肋骨条藻恢复培养3d,损伤DNA可明显恢复(P＜0.05),说明3种赤潮微藻的DNA损伤水平不适合作为指示UV-B辐射增强的生物学指标.     

三角褐指藻对黑暗胁迫的生理响应

为了研究黑暗条件对三角褐指藻生长及生化组成的影响,并探讨三角褐指藻对黑暗环境的生长适应能力,我们对该藻进行12 d的黑暗处理,着重测定了藻细胞密度、生物量、叶绿素a、可溶性糖和蛋白含量等指标。结果表明,三角褐指藻对黑暗环境表现出一定的适应性忍耐能力,在12 d的长期黑暗胁迫条件下依然可以存活,而藻细胞生化组成对黑暗的响应程度很可能是该藻得以维持细胞低水平生长的主要原因。随着黑暗处理时间的延长,三角褐指藻生长状况受抑制的程度增大,其生长及生化组成与对照组相比发生了极显著的变化。实验结束时,黑暗处理下的藻细胞密度和生物量分别降低到2.93×10⁵ cells·ml^-1和0.011 g·ml^-1,仅为对照的8.0%和37.3%。同样地,黑暗环境也明显地抑制了三角褐指藻体内生化物质的合成与积累,黑暗处理12 d时藻细胞的叶绿素a、可溶性糖和蛋白含量分别比对照降低了约89%、87%和85%。研究结果可为海洋微藻种质的筛选、种质资源库的构建及微藻生物资源的综合开发利用提供参考依据。     

三角褐指藻基因枪转化体系的建立

三角褐指藻具有较高的脂肪酸含量,是一种很有潜力的生物柴油生产原料。此外,它是多不饱和脂肪酸尤其是二十碳五烯酸（EPA）重要的来源。合适转化体系的缺乏限制了通过基因工程手段对其进行改造。首次采用基因枪方法成功地将外源基因转入三角褐指藻,转化细胞经染色后呈现蓝色,表明外源报告基因β-糖苷酸酶( GUS ) 基因得到了成功的表达。同时还进行了转化参数等因素对转化效率影响的分析,优化了转化条件。结果显示最佳的转化条件为: 每60 μg钨粉包被1 μg质粒DNA,样品室真空度为27英寸汞柱,可裂膜为1500psi,受体与阻挡网距离6 cm。此外,转化载体采用了三角褐指藻内源基因fcp的启动子,实现了外源基因在细胞内的表达。通过5种基因工程中常用抗生素对三角褐指藻生长抑制的研究发现,三角褐指藻对卡那霉素、氨苄青霉素、链霉素和新霉素不敏感,500 mg/L 的卡那霉素、氨苄青霉素和新霉素,以及1000 mg/L 链霉素仍不能抑制其生长;三角褐指藻对氯霉素非常敏感,130 mg/L的氯霉素可以完全抑制其生长,其半抑制浓度为60 mg/L。这为基因工程手段改造三角褐指藻脂肪酸代谢相关途径奠定了基础。

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.

Cause of Senescence of Nine Sorts of Flowers

The levels of endogenous phytohormones and respiratory rate in nine sorts of flowers such as Cymbidium faberi Rolfe, Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth and others were investigated both at full bloom and senescence and meanwhile the effect of exogenous phytohormones on prolonging the blossoms and promoting ethylene production were tested. There is a high content of endogenous ethylene in all the long-lived flowere, about 3–16 folds higer than the short-lived ones. There is a high level of ABA at full blooming flowers of short-lived flowers, in which there is no or only some cytokinins in it, but the ratio of CTK (6BA+zeatin)/ABA is smaller(l.7). The endogenous ABA reached a much higher level at senescence in all nine sorts of flowers, so it is reasonable to consider that it is ABA which plays an important role of regulation in controlling flower's senescence. There is a much higher level of GA3 and zeatin in the long-lived flowers which is not demonstrated in the shortlived ones. The respiratory rate is one of the factors controtling the longevity of flowers, but it does not play a decided role. Application of 6BA and zeatin prolongs distinctly orchid’s longevity, however exogenous IAA through the promotive action on ethylene production, evidently extends the longevity of the flowers of the Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth.

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.
