弯孢类炭疽菌菌株的RAPD分析与分类研究

通过RAPD分析对38个不同寄主来源的弯孢类炭疽菌菌株的系统发育及分类进行研究。结果表明:许多引物的RAPD扩增带型在种内是相似或一致的,而种间差异较大。UPGMA聚类分析的结果表明:38个弯孢类炭疽菌菌株被聚为6个类群,群内菌株之间遗传相似性较高,而群间遗传相似性较低;群与群之间分界明显,表明种的分界相当明显。因此,RAPD分析所反映的种间亲缘关系,将有助于疑难种分类地位的确定和近似种的区分。RAPD分析的结果还揭示了一些近似种的分类关系,如按传统方法分别鉴定为Colletotrichumtruncatum、C.circinans和辣椒炭疽菌C.capsici的许多菌株聚类在同一群内,有很高的遗传相似性,实验结果支持它们为同一个种。实验中还发现5条辣椒炭疽菌的特有片断,分别由引物OPE-14、OPH-15(2条)、OPM-12和OPM-20扩增产生。这些特异带的发现对该菌的快速检测和鉴定具有重要意义。     

胶孢炭疽菌的种内遗传多样性研究*

应用RAPD分析对广东不同果树上的胶孢炭疽菌的种内遗传多样性进行研究。结果表明:除部分芒果上的菌株外,20个来源于不同果树上的胶孢炭疽菌都以较高的相似系数聚为一个大群(群I)。说明尽管胶孢炭疽菌具有复合种的性质,但在一定的地理范围内,其遗传背景还是相近的,表现出种的典型特征。6个芒果菌株组成3个小群,且与群I的亲缘关系较远,其分类地位有待进一步明确。     

中国柱花草炭疽病原菌遗传多态性的RAPD分析

在对中国柱花草炭疽病进行广泛调查和病原采样收集的基础上,利用RAPD分子标记技术对43个代表性菌株进行了基因组DNA分析,并与276份国外菌株进行了综合聚类分析。 结果表明所用8个引物的扩增片段位于0.3～2.8kb之间, 菌株间呈现显著的DNA多态性。以柱花草起源中心——南美的柱花草炭疽菌分类为基础,中国柱花草炭疽菌可划分成3大类型即Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅵ类。中国菌株与来自柱花草起源中心——南美的菌株相比之下,其生物多样性和遗传变异性则相对简单。就中国菌株而言海南菌株与广西、广东菌株相比多样性较丰富, 中国柱花草胶孢炭疽菌正在出现种内遗传分化。 从聚类结果看,通常来自于同一个地理区域或同一个寄主基因型的菌株聚成一类, 即同一RAPD聚类组内的菌株通常来自于同一寄主基因型或同一地理区域。说明来自不同寄主基因型或物种的炭疽菌在遗传基因上具有专化性,而地理上隔离的国家或地区的柱花草炭疽病原菌各自具有相对独立的进化途径。

Electrophoretic protein patterns of three species ofPhytophthora associated with black pod disease of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.)

When electrophoretic profiles of native proteins from vegetative mycelia ofPhytophthora palmivora, Phytophthora capsici and Phytophthora citrophthora causing black pod disease of cocoa in India were compared on a single Polyacrylamide gel, the isolates of same species were readily distinguished both qualitatively by visual similarity in banding patterns and quantitatively by calculating similarity coefficients. Similarity coefficients were generally much higher between isolates within a species than between isolates of different species. The dendrograms obtained after unweighted pair grouping with arithmetic averaging cluster analysis, revealed that all the isolates ofPhytophthora capsici were highly homogenous and formed a single cluster. The isolates ofPhytophthora citrophthora were resolved into two electrophoretic types which were clustered into two distinct sub groups.Phytophthora palmivora formed a separate group. Thus, the results reveal that polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis can be used successfully in distinguishing species and sub groups within a species ofPhytophthora encountered on cocoa.

Cyanobacterial diversity in geographically related and distant host plants of the genus Gunnera

The diversity among 45 cyanobacterial isolates from 11 different Gunnera species originating from different geographical areas was examined. By means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fingerprinting with short tandemly repeated repetitive (STRR) sequences as primers, ten groups of symbiotic cyanobacteria and five unique isolates not belonging to a particular group were identified. Most groups were restricted to one geographical area, indicating a limited distribution of related cyanobacterial strains. An extensive cyanobacterial diversity was found both within and between the 11 different Gunnera species. Within a particular plant and even within the same stem gland, more than one cyanobacterial strain at a time could be present. These results indicate a low specificity in Gunnera-Nostoc symbiosis.     

Phylogenetic relationships of Cryptosporidium parasites based on the 70-kilodalton heat shock protein (HSP70) gene

We have characterized the nucleotide sequences of the 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) genes of Cryptosporidium baileyi, C. felis, C. meleagridis, C. muris, C. serpentis, C. wrairi, and C. parvum from various animals. Results of the phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of several genetically distinct species in the genus Cryptosporidium and eight distinct genotypes within the species C. parvum. Some of the latter may represent cryptic species. The phylogenetic tree constructed from these sequences is in agreement with our previous results based on the small-subunit rRNA genes of Cryptosporidium parasites. The Cryptosporidium species formed two major clades: isolates of C. muris and C. serpentis formed the first major group, while isolates of C. felis, C. meleagridis, C. wrairi, and eight genotypes of C. parvum formed the second major group. Sequence variations were also observed between C. muris isolates from ruminants and rodents. The HSP70 gene provides another useful locus for phylogenetic analysis of the genus Cryptosporidium.

黄淮海地区玉蜀黍黑粉菌群体遗传结构分析

利用17个多态性ISSR引物对2017年在我国黄淮海地区采集的41株玉蜀黍黑粉菌Ustilago maydis样本进行了种群遗传结构分析。基于UPGMA法和贝叶斯模型对玉蜀黍黑粉菌群体遗传结构分析显示,采集的样本可以分为两大群,且种群的划分表现出了与来源地理纬度的一致性。因此按照各样本所属地理纬度将样本分为北纬33°-34°、北纬35°-36°、北纬37°-38° 3大种群。结果表明,分离自北纬33°-34°地区的玉蜀黍黑粉菌遗传多样性最丰富,Nei’s基因多样性（H）为0.2216,Shannon指数（I）为0.3300。分子方差分析（AMOVA）显示,变异中来自种群内部的变异为86%,种群间变异14%（φpt=0.141）。     

Molecular phylogeny and evolutionary relationships of Cryptosporidium parasites at the actin locus

To further validate previous observations in the taxonomy of Cryptosporidium parasites, the phylogenetic relationship was analyzed among various Cryptosporidium parasites at the actin locus. Nucleotide sequences of the actin gene were obtained from 9 putative Cryptosporidium species (C. parvum, C. andersoni, C. baileyi, C. felis, C. meleagridis, C. muris, C. saurophilum, C. serpentis, and C. wrairi) and various C. parvum genotypes. After multiple alignment of the obtained actin sequences, genetic distances were measured, and phylogenetic trees were constructed. Results of the analysis confirmed the presence of genetically distinct species within Cryptosporidium and various distinct genotypes within C. parvum. The phylogenetic tree constructed on the basis of the actin sequences was largely in agreement with previous results based on small subunit rRNA, 70-kDa heat shock protein, and Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein genes. The Cryptosporidium species formed 2 major clades; isolates of C. andersoni, C. muris, and C. serpentis formed the first major group, whereas isolates of all other species, as well as various C. parvum genotypes, formed the second major group. Intragenotype variations were low or absent at this locus.     

Characterization of the membrane sensor PenJ for β-lactam antibodies from Bacillus licheniformis by amino acid substitution

Abstract The beta scanner and pattern matching software integrated in the automated microbiology identification system (AMBIS) were used to assess the relatedness of isolates of Colletotrichum acutatum, C. kahawae, C. fragariae, C. gloeosporioides and C. musae based on mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The dendrograms generated reflected the intra-specific variation and inter-specific relationships of these species as determined by other previously reported methods. The adaptability of AMBIS as a rapid method for assessing genetic relatedness of fungal species based on DNA polymorphisms is discussed.     

THE PHYLOGENY OF CAULERPA BASED ON RDNA INTERNAL TRANSCRIBED SPACER SEQUENCES

Phylogenetic hypotheses for the pantropical marine green algal genus, Caulerpa , were inferred based on analyses of nuclear-encoded rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. Results of these analyses were used to assess the correspondence between rDNA phylogeny and traditional sectional taxonomy, to identify synapomorphic morphological characters (including assimilator morphology and chloroplast ultrastructure), and to examine marine biogeographic hypotheses for the genus. Ribosomal DNA ITS sequences were aligned for thirty-three species and intraspecific taxa of Caulerpa. Results indicate limited correspondence between phylogeny and sectional taxonomy for the genus, (e.g., the sections Filicoideae and Sedoideae were not monophyletic). In contrast, chloroplast morphology could be mapped to the tree topology with limited homoplasy. Pantropical isolates of the filicoidean species, Caulerpa sertularioides and Caulerpa mexicana each formed monophyletic groups. Caulerpa reyesii was included as a derived taxon within the Caulerpa taxifolia clade, suggesting that these species were conspecific and affirmed the lack of correspondence between phylogeny and assimilator morphology. Isolates and various intraspecific taxa of Caulerpa racemosa did not form a monophyletic group. Instead, these taxa formed a heterogeneous assemblage with other sedoidean and filicoidean taxa. Within the C. sertularioides clade, Caribbean and Atlantic isolates formed a basal paraphyletic group, whereas eastern and western Pacific isolates formed a more derived monophyletic group. Therefore, these results are not consistent with an Indo-West Pacific origin of this species.
