五种重金属离子对克氏原螯虾（Procambarus clarkiai）的急性毒性作用研究

采用静水生物法、充气和恒温法研究了5种重金属离子对克氏原螯虾的急性毒性作用,并以直线内插法得出了24 h、48 h、72 h和96 h的半致死量（LD50）.研究结果表明：重金属离子的毒性顺序由大到小依次为：Hg2＋、Cd2＋、Cu2＋、Pb2＋和Zn2＋.根据毒性分级标准,5种重金属离子对克氏原螫虾均为高毒物,其安全质量浓度依次为：0.0143 mg/L、0.0322 mg/L、0.0401 mg/L、0.1995 ms/L和0.2795 mg/L.以浓度对数和死亡率进行回归分析,分别得出了5种重金属离子对螯虾24 h、48 h和96 h的回归方程.     

双酚A和对硝基酚对泥鳅的急性毒性效应

采用单因子急性毒性试验法及组织切片法,检测了双酚A(bisphenol A,BPA)和对硝基酚(p-nitrophenol,P-NP)对泥鳅(Misgurnus anguillicadatus)的急性毒性效应以及对鳃组织结构的破坏,统计了半数致死浓度(median lethal concentration,LC_(50))和安全浓度(safe concentration,SC).结果表明:BPA对泥鳅24 h、48 h、72 h、96 h LC_(50)分别为8.32、8.02、6.97、6.43 mg·L~(-1),SC为2.24 mg·L~(-1);P-NP对泥鳅24 h、48 h、72 h、96 h LC_(50)分别为19.14、17.58、16.98、14.69 mg·L~(-1),SC为4.40 mg·L~(-1);HE染色结果显示,两种化学物质高浓度处理均使鳃小叶细胞脱落,鳃小叶变细;BPA与p-NP均为高毒性污染物,BPA比P-NP毒性更大.对泥鳅的毒性作用是随着体内积累浓度的增加、作用时间的延长而增强,并可造成鳃组织的严重受损.

Abstract：

By the methods of single factor toxicity test and histological observation, this paper studied the acute toxicity of bisphenol A (BPA) and p-nitrophenol (p-NP) to Misgurnus anguilli-cadatus and the histological changes of M. Anguillicadatus gill. The median lethal concentration (LC_(50)) and safe concentration (SC) were calculated. The LC_(50) of BPA for 24, 48, 72, and 96hours were 8. 32, .8. 02, 6. 97 and 6. 43 mg·L~(-1), respectively, and the SC was 2. 24 mg·L~(-1);while the mean LCw values of p-NP for 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours were 19. 14, 17. 58, 16. 98, and14. 69 mg·L~(-1), respectively, and the SC was 4. 40 mg·L~(-1). After exposed to BPA and p-NP,the ceils of branchial leaflets fell off, and the branchial leaflets became thin. Both BPA and p-Nphad high toxicity to M. Anguillicadatus, and BPA had higher toxicity than p-NP. With the increas-ing concentration and exposure time of BPA and p-NP, their toxicity effects to M. Anguillicadatus increased, and the damage on gill of M. Anguillicadatus was more severe.     

两种方式对红螯螯虾同步产卵影响的研究

对红螯螯虾采取雌雄分养和烫伤雌虾单侧眼柄两种方法进行处理,研究其对红螯螯虾卵巢发育和产卵率的影响,进而判断对同步产卵的影响。结果显示,雌雄分开放养对雌虾性腺发育有促进作用,其性腺指数显著高于幼虾刚离体的雌虾和试验结束时未产卵的雌虾,而肝胰腺指数低于试验初的雌虾,但14 d的单放时间偏长;单养14 d组和烫伤单侧眼柄组的产卵率分别为35%和50%,小于对照组(75%);雌虾交配前不需要蜕壳;幼虾离体的雌虾不再次交配也可以产卵,但不一定能孵出苗。研究表明,雌雄分养和烫伤雌虾单侧眼柄对于刚理出的产空雌虾的同步产卵促进作用不明显,生产上对于幼虾离体后的雌虾应立即雌雄配组。     

亚硝酸盐胁迫对罗氏沼虾血细胞及其抗氧化酶活力的影响

【背景】亚硝酸盐是虾类集约化养殖过程中最常见的毒性污染物之一,研究亚硝酸盐胁迫对罗氏沼虾血细胞的毒性以及抗氧化酶在抗胁迫防御中的作用,能够为罗氏沼虾养殖过程中的亚硝酸盐中毒防治提供理论参考。【方法】以不同浓度(0、1、5和10 mg·L~(-1))的亚硝态氮(NO_2~--N)对罗氏沼虾进行胁迫,于胁迫后的0、6、12、24和48 h取样,应用流式细胞术检测血细胞活性氧(ROS)含量和细胞凋亡率,同时测定血细胞总数(THC)和胞内抗氧化酶活力。【结果】1 mg·L~(-1)NO_2~--N在48 h内对血细胞ROS含量、凋亡率和THC均无显著影响。5 mg·L~(-1)NO_2~--N胁迫24 h,血细胞ROS含量显著上升,THC显著下降,胁迫48 h凋亡率显著提高。10 mg·L~(-1)NO_2~--N胁迫6 h,血细胞ROS含量和凋亡率均显著上升,胁迫12 h THC显著下降。血细胞的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)的活力均不同程度地被NO_2~--N胁迫所诱导,CAT活力主要在胁迫前期提高,而GPx活力在胁迫后期提高。【结论与意义】亚硝酸盐存在浓度和时间毒性效应,一定浓度的亚硝酸盐会诱导虾血细胞产生ROS,这些ROS的过量产生诱导了血细胞发生凋亡,继而导致THC下降,这一氧化胁迫过程可能是亚硝酸盐对罗氏沼虾产生细胞毒性的重要机制之一。抗氧化酶活力的诱导表明抗氧化酶在亚硝酸盐胁迫过程中发挥防御作用。     

溶解氧对线纹海马幼鱼氨氮耐受性的影响及氨氮胁迫下鳃、肝脏组织结构的变化

为了解氨氮对线纹海马(Hippocampus erectus)幼鱼的毒理影响,本实验探讨了在正常溶解氧(4.32~5.12 mg·L-1)和高溶解氧(8.22~9.46 mg·L-1)条件下,线纹海马幼鱼的氨氮半致死浓度,以及6、9、12 mg·L-1的氨氮溶液胁迫下线纹海马幼鱼的鳃、肝脏组织结构的变化。结果表明:正常溶解氧条件下,氨氮对线纹海马幼鱼96 h半致死浓度(96 h LC50)为10.22 mg·L-1,安全浓度(SC)为1.02 mg·L-1;非离子氨的半致死浓度(96 h LC50)为0.16 mg·L-1,安全浓度(SC)为0.016 mg·L-1;高溶解氧条件下,氨氮对幼鱼的96 h LC50为12.68 mg·L-1,SC为1.27 mg·L-1;非离子氨96 h LC50为0.2 mg·L-1,SC为0.02mg·L-1。氨氮胁迫造成线纹海马幼鱼鳃组织在不同时间出现鳃丝血管扩张、泌氯细胞增生,鳃小片基部毛细血管破裂、红细胞溢出、鳃组织充血变性、卷曲变短、呼吸上皮细胞变性脱落等现象,并使肝脏肝细胞出现肿胀、细胞核肿大,肝血窦扩张、细胞轮廓模糊等组织变化;随着胁迫物浓度和胁迫时间增加,肝组织出现水样变性、空泡化、溶解,导致肝组织变得松散无序。综上,适当提高溶解氧能有效减轻氨氮对线纹海马幼鱼的毒性,超过阈值的氨氮胁迫会损害线纹海马幼鱼的鳃和肝脏组织结构。     

3种酰胺类稻田除草剂对克氏原螯虾的急性毒性

[目的] 研究稻虾共作模式条件下,稻田封闭除草剂对克氏原螯虾产生的急性毒性。[方法] 采用半静态试验方法,研究3种酰胺类除草剂（乙草胺、丙草胺和丁草胺）对克氏原螯虾的急性毒性,计算3种酰胺类除草剂对克氏原螯虾的安全浓度,并分析其LC₅₀衰减规律。[结果] 随着暴露时间和除草剂浓度的增加,虾体侧躺,步行足和游泳足活动频率降低,最终死亡。乙草胺对克氏原螯虾的96 h半致死浓度（LC₅₀）和安全浓度（SC）分别为0.0707和0.0146 mL·L^-1;丙草胺对克氏原螯虾的96 h LC₅₀和SC分别为0.0119和0.0021 mL·L^-1;丁草胺对克氏原螯虾的96h LC₅₀和SC分别为0.0073和0.0014 mL·L^-1。乙草胺、丙草胺及丁草胺除草剂LC₅₀随着暴露时间延长呈下降趋势,符合双曲线衰减模型,回归方程分别为：① y₁=2.0840x^-0.7380（R²=0.9973）;② y₂=0.1106x^-0.4930（R²=0.9872）;③ y₃=0.2236x^-0.7480（R²=0.9990）。克氏原螯虾对3种除草剂的敏感性由高到低依次为：丁草胺 > 丙草胺 > 乙草胺。[结论] 乙草胺和丙草胺可在稻田综合种养生产过程中按常规剂量使用,而丁草胺按常规剂量使用可能存在较大的风险。     

日本沼虾幼虾对碱度和pH的适应性

采用急性毒性实验法,研究日本沼虾（Macrobrachium nipponense）对碱度和DH的适应能力,探讨内陆盐碱水域养殖的可能性。结果表明,pH对幼虾的24、48、72、96h半数致死值分别为10．13、9．72、9．67和9．51,安全与适应范围分别为5．26～8．67、5．10～8．84。碱度对幼虾的24h半数有效浓度为17．96mmol／L,95％置信限14．60—22．53mmol／L;24、48、96h半数致死浓度分别为48．95、45．15和44．96mmol／L,95％置信限分别为45．72～50．60、39．46～51．67及34．34～55．38mmol／L,安全碱度11．52mmol／L。结果表明,在pH≤9．0、碱度≤20．0mmol／L的内陆盐碱水域,可以养殖日本沼虾。     

Y-chromosome Data and Tribal Affiliations of Allenopithecus and Miopithecus

The phylogeny of Old World monkeys has remained unresolved in part because of a lack of resolution in the Cercopithecinae. Competing morphological hypotheses have had Allen's swamp monkey (Allenopithecus nigroviridis) and the talapoins (Miopithecus spp.) as basal branches of either the tribe Cercopithecini or the tribe Papionini. Previous molecular analyses have not adequately addressed the issue. To better understand the evolutionary history of these primates, we sequenced and subjected to phylogenetic analysis 3.1 kb of 2 loci (TSPY and SRY) from the non-recombining portion of the Y-chromosome. Individuals from the genera Allenopithecus, Miopithecus, Erythrocebus, Chlorocebus, and Cercopithecus were surveyed and their sequences compared with those previously published for the Papionini and Colobinae. The results suggest Allenopithecus and Miopithecus are more closely related to the Cercopithecini than Papionini. Our data also support the hypothesis that within the Cercopithecini, Erythrocebus and Chlorocebus share a close evolutionary relationship, distinct from the other members of the tribe.     

Ovule and seed anatomy ofCistaceae and relatedMalvanae

Ovule and especially seed anatomy of eight species ofCochlospermaceae, Bixaceae, Cistaceae, Monotoideae, Pakaraimaeoideae (two subfamilies ofDipterocarpaceae), andSarcolaenaceae were investigated. All representatives show a bixoid chalazal region in the seed as probable exclusive synapomorphy among angiosperms. The palisade layer of the exotegmen is curved inwards at its proximal end and forms a dome-shaped structure. A plug of hypostase tissue with an annulus/core structure fits into this dome. Moreover, two additional tissue types in the hypostase can be found in some representatives of the group. These and other micromorphological, wood anatomical, and floral morphological characters, indicate that the taxa form a monophyletic group close toMalvales s. str. The form of the starch grains in the endosperm is compared and is described for the first time forPakaraimaea (Dipterocarpaceae) andLeptolaena (Sarcolaenaceae). The position ofDiegodendron close toBixa and the presumably more distant positions ofMuntingia andNeuradaceae are discussed.     

Nystatin and killer toxin sensitivity of free and immobilizedSaccharomyces cerevisiae

The inhibitory effect of nystatin and killer toxin on the growth of free and covalently-immobilizedSaccharomyces cerevisiae cells was studied. The resistance of immobilized cells to both agents was accompanied by increased amounts of phospholipids and sterols. The possible relationship between these changes in the membrane composition and the transduction of a signal across the cytoplasmic membrane is discussed.     

The hernandez and fernandez genes of Drosophila specify eye and antenna

The formation of different structures in Drosophila depends on the combined activities of selector genes and signaling pathways. For instance, the antenna requires the selector gene homothorax, which distinguishes between the leg and the antenna and can specify distal antenna if expressed ectopically. Similarly, the eye is formed by a group of "eye-specifying" genes, among them eyeless, which can direct eye development ectopically. We report here the characterization of the hernandez and fernandez genes, expressed in the antennal and eye primordia of the eye-antenna imaginal disc. The predicted proteins encoded by these two genes have 27% common amino acids and include a Pipsqueak domain. Reduced expression of either hernandez or fernandez mildly affects antenna and eye development, while the inactivation of both genes partially transforms distal antenna into leg. Ectopic expression of either of the two genes results in two different phenotypes: it can form distal antenna, activating genes like homothorax, spineless, and spalt, and it can promote eye development and activates eyeless. Reciprocally, eyeless can induce hernandez and fernandez expression, and homothorax and spineless can activate both hernandez and fernandez when ectopically expressed. The formation of eye by these genes seems to require Notch signaling, since the induction of ectopic eyes and the activation of eyeless by the hernandez gene are suppressed when the Notch function is compromised. Our results show that the hernandez and fernandez genes are required for antennal and eye development and are also able to specify eye or antenna ectopically.     

Amino acids and sugars in nectar,and their putative evolutionary significance

Individual amino acids and sugars from flower nectar of 32 plant species with different pollination systems were quantified and compared. Data show that there is no correlation between sugar and amino acid concentration. Furthermore there is no correlation between composition and concentration of amino acids and evolutionary advancement, nor any direct relation with pollination systems. However, higher sugar concentrations are often linked with more advanced morphological characters. Nectars from pierced or damaged flowers or nectars contaminated with pollen exhibit modifications and increases in amino acid composition. The presence of proline probably indicates such pollen contamination. Most pollinating animals depend on flower nectar in their energetic requirements, yet innumerable alternative amino acid and protein sources exist. Future research has to consider the relationship between nutritional requirements of pollinating animals and dependence on flower nectars.Dedicated to Prof. Dr.L. van der Pijl, Den Haag, in honour of his 80th birthday.     

Cyclooxygenase inhibitory and antioxidant cyanidin glycosides in cherries and berries

Anthocyanins from tart cherries, Prunus cerasus L. (Rosaceae) cv. Balaton and Montmorency; sweet cherries, Prunus avium L. (Rosaceae); bilberries, Vaccinum myrtillus L. (Ericaceae); blackberries, Rubus sp. (Rosaceae); blueberries var. Jersey, Vaccinium corymbosum L. (Ericaceae); cranberries var. Early Black, Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait. (Ericaceae); elderberries, Sambucus canadensis (Caprifoliaceae); raspberries, Rubus idaeus (Rosaceae); and strawberries var. Honeoye, Fragaria x ananassa Duch. (Rosaceae), were investigated for cyclooxygenase inhibitory and antioxidant activities. The presence and levels of cyanidin-3-glucosylrutinoside 1 and cyanidin-3-rutinoside 2 were determined in the fruits using HPLC. The antioxidant activity of anthocyanins from cherries was comparable to the commercial antioxidants, tert-butylhydroquinone, butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole, and superior to vitamin E, at a test concentration of 125 microg/ml. Anthocyanins from raspberries and sweet cherries demonstrated 45% and 47% cyclooxygenase-I and cyclooxygenase-II inhibitory activities, respectively, when assayed at 125 microg/ml. The cyclooxygenase inhibitory activities of anthocyanins from these fruits were comparable to those of ibuprofen and naproxen at 10 microM concentrations. Anthocyanins 1 and 2 are present in both cherries and raspberry. The yields of pure anthocyanins 1 and 2 in 100 g Balaton and Montmorency tart cherries, sweet cherries and raspberries were 21, 16.5; 11, 5; 4.95, 21; and 4.65, 13.5 mg, respectively. Fresh blackberries and strawberries contained only anthocyanin 2 in yields of 24 and 22.5 mg/100 g, respectively. Anthocyanins 1 and 2 were not found in bilberries, blueberries, cranberries or elderberries.     

Pollen morphology ofSonchus and related genera,and a general discussion

The pollen morphology of the taxa belonging to the generaAetheorhiza Cass.,Launaea Cass.,Reichardia Roth andSonchus L. in the Iberian Peninsula has been studied with light and electron microscopy. The pollen is 3(-4)-zonocolporate and echinolophate (without polar lacunae, but in general with prelacunae), with equatorial ridges and 15–20 lacunae: 3–4 poral, 6–8 abporal and 6–8 paraporal. Small to medium size, P × E = 19–36 × 23–42 µm; sometimes two different sizes have been found. Exine 3–9 µm thick and ornamentation microreticulate and echinate. The results clearly show the relationships between genera. Moreno-Socías, E., Mejías, J. A., Díez, M.

Molecular identification and differentiation of Brevibacterium species and strains

Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction enzyme analysis (ARDRA), pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and ribotyping were used to differentiate among 24 strains of Brevibacterium linens, Brevibacterium casei and Brevibacterium epidermidis obtained from type culture collections or isolated from various smear ripened cheeses. ARDRA was applied to the 16S rDNA. B. linens was shown to be a quite heterogenic group with 2 to at least 4 copies of rrn operons per strain with aberrant nucleotide sequences. AccI gave genus specific restriction patterns and was used to separate Brevibacterium from Corynebacterium species. The expected species specificity of TaqI applied to B. linens type culture strains, but not to all strains isolated from cheese. By AvaI restriction, B. casei and B. linens were differentiated from B. epidermidis and the orange pigmented Arthrobacter casei, a new species of coryneform bacteria; by XmnI restriction, B. linens and B. epidermidis were differentiated from B. casei. One of 4 B. linens genotypes could not be distinguished from B. casei by this method. Here, the typical orange B. linens pigments were used for classification, which was confirmed by partial sequencing of the 16S rDNA.     

Utilized and potentially utilizable seaweeds on the Namibian coast: biogeography and accessibility

Of the 1500 km coast of Namibia, only 80 km is predominantly rocky, the remaining 1420 km being sandy with only minor rocky outcrops. At present two species are utilized, Gracilaria verrucosa for agar and Laminaria schinzii for human consumption. Other potentially utilizable seaweeds occurring on the coast are Ecklonia maxima for alginates, Suhria vittata for agar, Gigartina radula, G. stiriata and Aeodes orbitosa for carrageenans and Porphyra capensis for human consumption. Laminaria schinzii also can be used for alginate production. Due to the diamond-mining areas around the 80 km rocky area at Luderitz (26° 39 S), only 20 km are accessible; hence, at present the seaweeds are being exploited almost to their full potential. The species currently not being utilized could be used, however, to support the industry that already exists at Luderitz. To increase production, access to the diamond areas would have to be gained or a cultivation program initiated.
