对虾白斑综合征病毒新株型WSSV-CN-Pc的毒力研究

对虾白斑综合征病毒(white spot syndrome virus,WSSV)是一种能够感染虾类并且造成其大面积死亡的环状双链DNA病毒。WSSV有多种分离株,其毒力有所差异。从克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)中分离得到1株WSSV新分离株WSSV-CN-Pc,其毒力尚不清楚。本研究采用肌肉注射和经口注射的方法,以WSSVTW型作为阳性对照,分别对克氏原螯虾(P.clarkii)和罗氏沼虾(Macrobrachium rosenbergii)进行活体实验。实验结果显示:肌肉注射WSSV-CN-Pc和WSSV-TW的克氏原螯虾均在第6天出现100%的死亡;罗氏沼虾在肌肉注射WSSV-TW后未出现死亡,但在注射WSSV-CN-Pc后的第9天死亡率达100%。经口注射WSSV-CN-Pc和WSSV-TW的克氏原螯虾均在第16天出现100%的死亡;罗氏沼虾经口注射WSSV-CN-Pc后的第19天死亡率为100%,但注射WSSV-TW的实验组并未出现死亡。结果表明,对于克氏原螯虾,WSSV-CN-Pc具有和WSSV-TW相似的毒力,而对罗氏沼虾存在明显的毒力差异。提示克氏原螯虾是WSSV传播途径中的重要因素。     

稻虾田黄鳝的食物组成及其对克氏原螯虾捕食强度研究

文章研究了稻田黄鳝(Monopterus albus)天然饵料生物资源、稻田黄鳝对克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)捕食选择及不同投喂策略下黄鳝对克氏原螯虾的捕食强度,旨在为构建与优化稻-虾-鳝综合种养模式提供依据。结果表明,稻田中黄鳝天然饵料生物种类丰富,达16种(属);克氏原螯虾是黄鳝最喜猎物,其次为米虾,再次为蚯蚓和水生寡毛类;稻田黄鳝自然生长期间,其胃和肠前端食物团中,克氏原螯虾重量百分比均显著高于其他猎物,其中8月份占比最大,达93.90%, 4月份占比最小,为76.85%;当克氏原螯虾为唯一食物时,每尾大规格成鳝(≥200 g)日均捕食量为(1.63±0.065) g;当克氏原螯虾、米虾和蚯蚓作为食物时,黄鳝主要捕食克氏原螯虾且不捕食蚯蚓,对三者的选择指数分别为0.066、–0.266和–1;若以克氏原螯虾、鱼糜-饲料为食物时,黄鳝主要摄食鱼糜-饲料,极少捕食克氏原螯虾,对两者的选择指数分别为–0.846和0.591。     

不同性别和生长阶段对克氏原螯虾肠道菌群多样性的影响

为研究性别和生长阶段对克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)肠道菌群的影响, 实验对来自虾塘的雌雄成虾肠道样品及来自实验室养殖的幼虾和成虾的肠道样品进行了16S rRNA高通量测序分析。结果表明, 不同性别间克氏原螯虾肠道菌群的多样性和功能均没有显著性差异(独立样本t检验: P>0.05), 其优势菌群在门水平上均包括厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)、变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)等; 属水平上包括拟杆菌属(Bacteroidia)、希瓦氏菌属(Shewanella)、梭菌属(Clostridium)和柠檬酸杆菌属(Citrobacter)等; 但各优势菌群在个体间的丰度差异较大, 且在成虾阶段趋于保守, 属肠道常驻菌群。幼虾肠道菌群的Alpha多样性显著高于成虾(独立样本t检验: P<0.05)。在门水平上, 优势菌群较为一致, 包括变形菌门、拟杆菌门、厚壁菌门和放线菌门(Actinobacteria)。成虾厚壁菌门与拟杆菌门的比例高于幼虾, 表明成虾分解食物和吸收营养的潜力更强。在属水平上, 成虾和幼虾肠道中均存在大量的黄杆菌属(Flavobacterium)、拟杆菌属和氢噬胞菌属(Hydrogenophaga), 这些菌属可以帮助机体进行多种营养代谢, 成虾肠道中与碳水化合物代谢相关的菌群多于幼虾。PICRUSt功能预测显示, 在克氏原螯虾肠道中, 营养代谢功能相关的菌群相对丰度最高, 而成虾肠道菌群代谢碳水化合物的功能显著高于幼虾。实验表明, 在野外虾塘养殖下的克氏原螯虾的肠道菌群不论是在群落多样性、物种丰度还是菌群功能预测上, 都未体现出性别间的差异, 且肠道菌群的个体差异较大; 但在不同生长阶段间, 克氏原螯虾肠道微生物的群落多样性、丰度及功能都有显著差异, 相比于幼虾, 成虾肠道菌群多样性降低, 多种代谢功能升高。     

克氏原螯虾在舟山群岛永久性静水水体中的分布及其影响因素

为了解克氏原螯虾在永久性静水水体(水库和池塘)中的分布及其影响因素和它对两栖动物多样性的影响,于2008年5—8月,利用样线法与目视遇测法以及网捕法,对舟山群岛中的8个岛屿(岱山、六横、秀山、佛渡、桃花、虾峙、册子和普陀山)上的86个水库和池塘中的克氏原螯虾分布和影响其分布的因素进行了调查,调查的因素包括外来种牛蛙(Rana catesbeiana)、水体的面积、最大水深、水体周边植被的覆盖率、鱼的出现率、人口足迹以及当地蛙的密度和物种多样性。结果表明:1)83.7%的研究水体(72/86)有克氏原螯虾的分布,克氏原螯虾和牛蛙共同分布的水体占53.5%;2)克氏原螯虾的密度在各个岛屿上的分布是不均匀的;3)基于信息标准(AICc)的最小满足模型(Minimum Adequate Model)显示,克氏原螯虾的分布与水体的最大水深和牛蛙的密度呈正相关,而与其他因素没有关系。克氏原螯虾的入侵对舟山群岛永久性静水水体蛙类物种多样性的直接影响可能不大,但由于克氏原螯虾是牛蛙的重要食物,它的分布可能潜在地助长外来种牛蛙的密度。     

克氏原螯虾两种养殖模式的食物网结构及其食性比较

为比较克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)精养模式和稻虾共作模式下的食物网结构及其食性差异, 对两种养殖模式的基础食源与消费者的δ13C和δ15N进行了分析, 并借助SIBER考察了各自的食物网结构, 定量计算不同饵料对克氏原螯虾食物的贡献率。结果显示: 在采集的19种样品中, 消费者的δ13C值介于–34.22‰—–25.34‰, δ15N值介于2.33‰—8.05‰, 营养级介于1.46—3.64; 在精养模式下克氏原螯虾的营养级(2.34)高于共作模式(1.79)。食物网结构参数对比表明, 两种模式下克氏原螯虾的生态空间利用率接近, 但共作模式的食物网营养结构多样性较高, 群落的营养生态位范围较宽, 食物网的营养冗余程度较低, 不同物种竞争激烈程度较低; 食性分析显示, 在两种模式下克氏原螯虾的δ15N值与其体长、体重具有线性正相关关系, 说明克氏原螯虾营养级随着其体型增大而提高, 另外克氏原螯虾在两种养殖模式中均偏向于摄食动物性饵料, 共作模式中克氏原螯虾饵料来源分布较精养模式更均匀, 其植物性饵料贡献率较精养模式更高。研究表明: 精养模式的物质能量从基础食源传至克氏原螯虾的传递损耗较共作模式要高; 与精养模式相比, 稻虾共作模式中克氏原螯虾更偏向植食性。     

克氏原螯虾的入侵生态学研究进展

克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)原产于美国南部和墨西哥北部,是一个著名入侵物种,作为一种水产经济资源物种在世界各地扩散。克氏原螯虾抗逆性强,所具有的广泛生境适应性、生长迅速、高生殖率等特点使它们迅速建立野生种群。近10余年的研究认为,克氏原螯虾通过捕食和资源竞争等机制严重威胁引入地的水生植物、无脊椎动物、两栖类等的生存,显著降低引入地的生物多样性。当前,由于克氏原螯虾的经济价值高,它会借助于人力的作用而继续扩散。为认清和减少克氏原螯虾对引入地的生态影响,应加强以下方面的研究:1)在中国开展克氏原螯虾的生态危害的调查和研究;2)克氏原螯虾种群调节和控制对策研究;3)被入侵地的生态恢复工作。     

桂林地区克氏原螯虾对泽蛙蝌蚪的捕食

克氏原螯虾（Procambarus clarkii）已入侵我国江苏、湖北、江西、安徽等多个省（市）。为研究克氏原螯虾对其生境中主要两栖动物泽蛙（Rana limnocharis）的影响,我们于2006年5-6月对广西桂林地区自然生境中克氏原螯虾和泽蛙蝌蚪的数量和密度进行了调查,7月在室内进行了克氏原螯虾对泽蛙蝌蚪和饰纹姬蛙（Microhyla ornata）蝌蚪的捕食实验。野外调查结果表明克氏原螯虾的密度与泽蛙蝌蚪的密度呈显著负相关。室内实验结果表明克氏原螯虾对泽蛙蝌蚪的捕食强度与克氏原螯虾体长呈显著正相关,且对泽蛙蝌蚪的捕食强度高于饰纹姬蛙蝌蚪。表明克氏原螯虾对两栖类幼体有比较严重的危害,应加强监测,采取相应措施预防和控制其危害。

Two antifeedant lignans from the freshwater macrophyte Saururus cernuus

Two diarylbutane derivatives of dihydroguaiaretic acid have been isolated from emergent portions of the southeastern United States freshwater angiosperm Saururus cernuus L. (Saururaceae). Bioassay-guided fractionation of organic extracts of S. cernuus led to the compounds, sauriols A and B, in addition to five previously known lignoids. These metabolites deter feeding by the omnivorous crayfish Procambarus clarkii. The two lignans were identified by analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectral data, and by comparison with spectral data of dihydroguaiaretic acid.     

Effect of dietary taurine supplementation on metabolome variation in plasma of Nile tilapia

Taurine has been considered as an essential nutrient for many aquaculture species. While dietary taurine supplementation is highly recommended, novelty studies on taurine metabolism in fish are needed. The present study aimed to provide insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in multiple metabolome changes in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by studying plasma metabolic profile changes in response to graded levels of dietary taurine supplementation. The analysis used proton nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics. Four groups of tilapias were fed with four diets supplemented with 0.0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2% taurine for 84 days. Fish plasma was sampled at multiple time points to provide an accurate snapshot of specific metabolic profiles during growth. Under the effect of taurine supplementation, 21 and 12 metabolites in tilapia plasma shown significant changes in terms of time-dependence and diet-dependence, respectively. These metabolic changes in tilapia plasma were mainly associated with energy and amino acid metabolism, lipids, nucleotides and protein metabolism. The results indicate that 0.8% taurine supplementation could significantly improve the carbohydrate synthesis, protein digestion and absorption, and fat deposition of tilapia and thereby promoted growth and development of tilapia.     

急性低氧/复氧胁迫对克氏原螯虾抗氧化-能量代谢的影响

为研究低氧/复氧胁迫对克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)抗氧化及能量代谢的影响,将克氏原螯虾暴露于(1.0±0.1) mg/L急性低氧胁迫和后续(6.8±0.2) mg/L复氧环境中,于低氧胁迫1h、6h及复氧1h、12h分别采集肝胰腺、鳃和血淋巴,研究低氧/复氧胁迫下克氏原螯虾抗氧化-能量代谢酶的活力变化,分析鳃和肝胰腺组织的超微结构改变。在低氧胁迫下,肝胰腺和血淋巴中SOD酶活力显著下降(P<0.05);复氧以后,肝胰腺、血淋巴及鳃组织中SOD酶活力均出现了显著上升(P<0.05)。SOD酶活力变化可能与复氧过程中超氧阴离子自由基的过量产生有关。在复氧12h后,血淋巴和鳃组织中MDA含量均出现了显著性增加(P<0.01),提示机体细胞在复氧胁迫下产生了脂质过氧化。在低氧胁迫下,肝胰腺、鳃和血淋巴中ACP、AKP酶活力显著上升(P<0.05);在复氧12h后,肝胰腺和鳃组织中ACP酶活力显著降低(P<0.01)。显示低氧/复氧胁迫影响了机体的非特异性免疫应答。在急性低氧胁迫下,肝胰腺、血淋巴与鳃组织中的LDH含量和总ATPase活力均显...     

Metabonomic studies on potential plasma biomarkers in rats exposed to ionizing radiation and the protective effects of Hong Shan Capsule

An ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry-based metabonomic approach, combined with pattern recognition methods including PCA, PLS-DA, RF and heatmap, has been developed to characterize the global serum metabolic profile associated with ionizing radiation (IR). As the VIP-value threshold cutoff of the metabolites was set to 2, metabolites above this threshold were filtered out as potential target biomarkers. Nineteen distinct potential biomarkers in rat plasma were identified. To further elucidate the pathophysiology of IR, related metabolic pathways have been studied. It was found that IR was closely related to disturbed fatty acid metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, phospholipid catabolism, tryptophan metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, and bile acid metabolism. With the presented metabonomic method, we systematically analyzed the protective effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hong Shan Capsule (HSC). The results demonstrated that HSC administration could provide satisfactory effects on IR through partially regulating the perturbed metabolic pathways.     

Growth,ROS Markers,Antioxidant Enzymes,Osmotic Regulators and Metabolic Changes in Tartary Buckwheat Subjected to Short Drought

Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is an important pseudocereal feed crop with medicinal and nutritional value. Drought is one of the main causes of reduced growth and yield in these plants. We investigated the growth, physiological, and metabolic responses of the widely promoted Tartary buckwheat variety Chuan Qiao No. 1 to polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated drought stress. Drought significantly decreased shoot length, shoot biomass and relative water content. Root length, malondialdehyde content, electrolyte leakage, activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase and amylase, and contents of soluble sugar, soluble protein and proline were increased by PEG-mediated drought. Untargeted metabolomics analysis identified 32 core metabolites in seedlings subjected to PEG-mediated drought, 16 of which increased—including quercetin, isovitexin, cyanidin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside, L-arginine, and glycerophosphocholine, while the other 16 decreased—including 3-methoxytyramine, 2, 6-diaminopimelic acid, citric acid, UDP-alpha-D-glucose, adenosine, keto-D-fructose. The 32 core metabolites were enriched in 29 metabolic pathways, including lysine biosynthesis, citrate (TCA) cycle, anthocyanin biosynthesis, and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis. Among them, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, flavor and flavor biosynthesis, indole alkaline biosynthesis, and alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism were the four main metabolic pathways affected by drought. Our findings provide new insights into the physiological and metabolic response mechanisms of Tartary buckwheat to drought stress.     

Fumarate mitigates disruption induced by fenpropathrin in the silkworm Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera): A metabolomics study

The silkworm Bombyx mori L. is a model organism of the order Lepidoptera. Understanding the mechanism of pesticide resistance in silkworms is valuable for Lepidopteran pest control. In this study, comparative metabolomics was used to analyze the metabolites of 2 silkworm strains with different pesticide resistance levels at 6, 12, and 24 h after feeding with fenpropathrin. Twenty-six of 27 metabolites showed significant differences after fenpropathrin treatment and were classified into 6 metabolic pathways: glycerophospholipid metabolism, sulfur metabolism, glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, the urea cycle, and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. After analyzing the percentage changes in the metabolic pathways at the 3 time points, sulfur metabolism, glycolysis, and the TCA cycle showed significant responses to fenpropathrin. Confirmatory experiments were performed by feeding silkworms with key metabolites of the 3 pathways. The combination of iron(II) fumarate + folic acid (IF-FA) enhanced fenpropathrin resistance in silkworms 6.38 fold, indicating that the TCA cycle is the core pathway associated with resistance. Furthermore, the disruption of several energy-related metabolic pathways caused by fenpropathrin was shown to be recovered by IF-FA in vitro. Therefore, IF-FA may have a role in boosting silkworm pesticide resistance by modulating the equilibrium between the TCA cycle and its related metabolic pathways.     

基于GC-MS的野生和‘鲁赫’刺蔷薇叶片代谢差异研究

为探究野生刺蔷薇（Rosa acicularis）和‘鲁赫’刺蔷薇（Rosa acicularis ‘Luhe’）叶片的代谢物和代谢通路差异，对2种刺蔷薇叶片进行了GC-MS非靶向代谢组学试验，共检测出6种氨基酸、12种糖类、4种烷烃类化合物、17种有机酸、5种酯类和7种其他类化合物，共计51种代谢物。PCA模型符合预期，OPLS-DA模型筛选出19种显著差异代谢物，差异代谢通路分析共分析出5条主要的差异代谢通路。综合各项结果，2种刺蔷薇叶片在部分有机酸和糖类的代谢上有显著差异，同时也在ABC转运蛋白、苯丙烷的生物合成、苯甲酸的降解和丙氨酸、天冬氨酸和谷氨酸的代谢上有显著差异，推测2种植物可能在叶片光合效率和抗胁迫能力上有显著不同，但仍需进一步结合基因组、蛋白质组、转录组和其他方法进行深入研究。     

Bioenergetics and phenology of reproduction of the introduced red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, in Do·ana National Park, Spain, and implications for species management

1. The red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii (Girard), is a North American species which was introduced into the Lower Guadalquivir, Spain, in 1974. Procambarus clarkii has become a key species since it has greatly altered the functioning and structure of the ecosystems it has invaded.
2. Since P. clarkii spawn spontaneously throughout the year, it is to be expected that their ecological impact on the ecosystem may vary depending of the timing of habitat flooding (e.g. temporary freshwater marsh, and temporary or permanent pond). The objective of the present study was to understand the reproductive phenology and bioenergetics of P. clarkii in Do·ana National Park, Spain, freshwater ecosystems, and consequently, propose some management plans for their populations.
3. Five stages of ovarian development were detected. Final ovarian maturation occurred a few days before spawning and spawning was synchronized among mature females of all populations. Egg numbers hatched in pleopods ranged from 450 to 550. Timing of juvenile release from pleopods varied greatly (10–35 days).
4. Gravid females support most of their metabolic needs by catabolizing carbohydrates (overall mean of O:N = 30.39), and to a lesser extent, lipids. The aerobic and excretory metabolisms of gravid females were lower than those of immature animals of similar weight.
5. Analysis suggested that several factors influence the spawning of crayfish at the monitored sites. The major factors are water regime and temperature. Red swamp crayfish appear to be a spontaneous spawning species which may adjust their reproductive cycle to the timing of flooding, enhancing the utilization of available resources.
6. Populations of P. clarkii in Do·ana National Park could be controlled by the management of the water regime and by devising a fishing scheme which would maintain an appropriate population structure.
