衰老叶片和叶绿体中H_2O_2的累积与膜脂过氧化的关系

在自然衰老和ABA处理的叶片和叶绿体中活性氧H_2O_2均比对照明显增高。外加H_2O_2刺激水稻叶绿体膜脂过氧化作用。叶绿体的丙二醛含量随H_2O_2浓度、光照时间、光照强度及叶绿体完整性而变化。AsA、GSH、SOD、甘露醇和过氧化氢酶对外源H_2O_2引起的膜脂过氧化有缓解作用,Fe~(2+)有刺激作用。而H_2O_2对叶绿体过氧化损伤主要是转化为OH之故。     

峨眉山珍稀植物鹅掌楸组培过程中的膜脂过氧化

鹅掌楸(Liriodendron chinense(Hemsl.) Sarg.)是中国特有珍稀树种.鉴于目前还鲜有野生鹅掌楸组培过程生理生化变化的相关报道.本研究以峨嵋山野生鹅掌楸茎尖芽为外植体进行组织培养,并对其继代培养再生过程中超氧阴离子自由基(O_2~-)、过氧化氢(H_2O_2)和丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化进行了测定.研究结果表明,随着培养时间的延长,植物体中O_2~-和MDA含量呈现逐渐增加的变化趋势.这表明在连续继代培养条件下,植物体内活性氧会积累,引起膜脂过氧化.H_2O_2含量"S"形曲线变化,并随着再生芽的分化而上升,因此,H_2O_2不仅参与了膜脂过氧化过程,还可能作为一种细胞信号物质参与诱导细胞分化和再生芽的形成.该研究也为进一步用组织培养法保存峨眉山珍稀植物鹅掌楸种质资源提供了参考.

Ceriometry,a combined method for chemical oxygen demand and dissolved oxygen (with a discussion on the precision of the winkler technique)

A ceriometric method is described in which Ce³⁺ salts are used for the determination of dissolved oxygen and Ce⁴⁺ salts for the determination of the chemical oxygen demand. The interference of COD in the O₂ determination, a common feature of most Winkler determinations, is corrected. The standard deviation is typically about 1% of the mean, and bias (inaccuracy) is very small.The method is simple, quick and reliable.The precision and accuracy of the Winkler method is discussed and compared with that of the Cerium method.     

Ecophysiological mechanisms of plant growth under the influence of rhizosphere oxygen concentration: A review

Oxygen is an essential substance for plants, and adequate oxygen supply is necessary for plant growth and developments. As one of the major abiotic threats to plants, frequent floods could lead to oxygen deficiency in the rhizosphere. Therefore, it is important to understand the response and adaptive mechanisms of plants to rhizosphere oxygen concentration for crop productions and breeding of resistant varieties. This review shed light on the impacts of rhizosphere oxygen contents on plants from multiple perspectives. We also demonstrated the injury and acclimations caused by oxygen deficiency and the mechanism of low-oxygen signaling. We finally summarized methods to avoid oxygen deficit and prospect of further studies.     

Oxygen transfer characteristics of miniaturized bioreactor systems

Since their introduction in 2001 miniaturized bioreactor systems have made great advances in function and performance. In this article the dissolved oxygen (DO) transfer performance of submilliliter microbioreactors, and 1–10 mL minibioreactors was examined. Microbioreactors have reached k_La values of 460 h^?1, and are offering instrumentation and some functionality comparable to production systems, but at high throughput screening volumes. Minibioreactors, aside from one 1,440 h^?1 k_La system, have not offered as high rates of DO transfer, but have demonstrated superior integration with automated fluid handling systems. Microbioreactors have been typically limited to studies with E. coli, while minibioreactors have offered greater versatility in this regard. Further, mathematical relationships confirming the applicability of k_La measurements across all scales have been derived, and alternatives to fluorescence lifetime DO sensors have been evaluated. Finally, the influence on reactor performance of oxygen uptake rate (OUR), and the possibility of its real‐time measurement have been explored. Biotechnol.

Diffusion and seasonal dynamics of O2 in woody debris from the Pacific Northwest,USA

O₂ is an important regulator of physiological processes involved in the decomposition of woody debris, yet O₂ levels and diffusion rates within decomposing logs are largely unknown. We examined how O₂ diffusion rates in decayed and sound wood varied with moisture and density, and we compared predicted with observed seasonal changes in oxygen concentration in logs in a Pacific Northwest old-growth Pseudotsuga menziesii forest. In the laboratory, the oxygen diffusion coefficient (D_O2) was determined in the longitudinal and radial (or tangential) directions on wood cores of varying moisture content and density. In the field, O₂ was measured in tubes inserted to three radial depths (2, 6 and 15 cm) within logs of two species (Pseudotsuga menziesii and Tsuga heterophylla) and five decay classes (where class 5 = most decayed). In both the radial and longitudinal directions, D_O2 increased exponentially as the air filled pore space (AFPS) increased and as density decreased. In the field, mean O₂ concentrations in logs were not significantly different between species. Mean O₂ concentrations were significantly lower in the least decayed logs as compared to the most decayed logs. Mean O₂ concentrations decreased with radial depth only in decay class two logs. Seasonal O₂ levels did not consistently vary with log moisture, respiration, or air temperature. The comparison of the results from a model that assumes oxygen diffuses only in the radial direction to field data indicates that laboratory measurements of oxygen diffusion may underestimate field oxygen concentrations. Cracks, insect galleries and other passages in decayed logs, and longitudinal oxygen diffusion may account for this discrepancy. In the field, log oxygen concentrations were rarely as low as 2%, indicating anaerobic conditions may not be as common in logs as we previously thought. Oxygen limitations on decomposition may occur in relatively sound and/or water soaked wood, but probably not in decayed logs in a terrestrial setting.     

Activation of Molecular Oxygen by Infrared Laser Radiation in Pigment-Free Aerobic Systems

With the goal of mimicking the mechanisms of the biological effects of low energy laser irradiation, we have shown that infrared low intensity laser radiation causes oxygenation of the chemical traps of singlet oxygen dissolved in organic media and water saturated by air at normal atmospheric pressure. The photooxygenation rate was directly proportional to the oxygen concentration and strongly inhibited by the singlet oxygen quenchers. The maximum of the photooxygenation action spectrum coincided with the maximum of the oxygen absorption band at 1270 nm. The data provide unambiguous evidence that photooxygenation is determined by the reactive singlet ¹_g state formed as a result of direct laser excitation of molecular oxygen. Hence, activation of oxygen caused by its direct photoexcitation may occur in natural systems.     

Continuous, real-time monitoring of the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in animal cell bioreactors

A new method for real-time monitoring of the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in bioreactors, based on dissolved oxygen (DO) measurement at two points, has been developed and tested extensively. The method has several distinct advantages over known techniques.It enables the continuous and undisturbed monitoring of OUR, which is conventionally impossible without gas analyzers. The technique does not require knowledge of k(L)a. It provides smooth, robust, and reliable signal. The monitoring scheme is applicable to both microbial and mammalian cell bioprocesses of laboratory or industrial scale. The method was successfully used in the cultivation of NSO-derived murine myeloma cell line producing monoclonal antibody. It was found that while the OUR increased with the cell density, the specific OUR decreased to approximately one-half at cell concentrations of 16 x 10(6) cells/mL, indicating gradual reduction of cell respiration activity. Apart from the laboratory scale cultivation, the method was applied to industrial scale perfusion culture, as well as to processes using other cell lines. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Oxygen and the Spatial Structure of Microbial Communities

Oxygen has two faces. On one side it is the terminal electron acceptor of aerobic respiration – the most efficient engine of energy metabolism. On the other hand, oxygen is toxic because the reduction of molecular O₂ creates reactive oxygen species such as the superoxide anion, peroxide, and the hydroxyl radical. Probably most prokaryotes, and virtually all eukaryotes, depend on oxygen respiration, and we show that the ambiguous relation to oxygen is both an evolutionary force and a dominating factor driving functional interactions and the spatial structure of microbial communities.We focus on microbial communities that are specialised for life in concentration gradients of oxygen, where they acquire the full panoply of specific requirements from limited ranges of PO₂ , which also support the spatial organisation of microbial communities. Marine and lake sediments provide examples of steep O₂ gradients, which arise because consumption or production of oxygen exceeds transport rates of molecular diffusion. Deep lakes undergo thermal stratification in warm waters, resulting in seasonal anaerobiosis below the thermocline, and lakes with a permanent pycnocline often have permanent anoxic deep water. The oxycline is here biologically similar to sediments, and it harbours similar microbial biota, the main difference being the spatial scale. In sediments, transport is dominated by molecular diffusion, and in the water column, turbulent mixing dominates vertical transport.Cell size determines the minimum requirement of aerobic organisms. For bacteria (and mitochondria), the half‐saturation constant for oxygen uptake ranges within 0.05 – 0.1% atmospheric saturation; for the amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii it is 0.2%, and for two ciliate species measuring around 150 μm, it is 1‐2 % atmospheric saturation. Protection against O₂ toxicity has an energetic cost that increases with increasing ambient O₂ tension. Oxygen sensing seems universal in aquatic organisms. Many aspects of oxygen sensing are incompletely understood, but the mechanisms seem to be evolutionarily conserved. A simple method of studying oxygen preference in microbes is to identify the preferred oxygen tension accumulating in O₂ gradients. Microorganisms cannot sense the direction of a chemical gradient directly, so they use other devices to orient themselves. Different mechanisms in different prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes are described. In O₂ gradients, many bacteria and protozoa are vertically distributed according to oxygen tension and they show a very limited range of preferred PO₂. In some pigmented protists the required PO₂ is contingent on light due to photochemically generated reactive oxygen species. In protists that harbour endosymbiotic phototrophs, orientation towards light is mediated through the oxygen production of their photosynthetic symbionts. Oxygen plays a similar role for the distribution of small metazoans (meiofauna) in sediments, but there is little experimental evidence for this. Thus the oxygenated sediments surrounding ventilated animal burrows provide a special habitat for metazoan meiofauna as well as unicellular organisms.     

Tunable Internal and Surface Structures of the Bifunctional Oxygen Perovskite Catalysts

Perovskite oxide ceramics attracts significant attention as a strong candidate of bifunctional oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst for the metal‐air batteries. Numerous approaches to the viability of bifunctional perovskite electrocatalyst represent that the electro­chemical performance is highly correlated with defect chemistry, surface structure, and overall polycrystalline perovskite structure. By making use of the intrinsic flexibility of internal structure and high nonstoichiometry in perovskite oxide, the heat treatment effect of the complex Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Co_xFe_1‐xO_3‐δ (x = 0.2 and 0.8) perovskites in argon atmosphere at 950 °C (Ar‐BSCF5582 and Ar‐BSCF5528) on the surface structure/defect chemistry and electrocatalytic performance is intensively investigated. Upon heat‐treatment in argon atmosphere, the amorphous thickness layer increases from ≈20 to 180–200 nm in BSCF5582, while there is little change in BSCF5528 with ≈20 nm. The electrocatalytic performance of BSCF5582 catalyst both in ORR and OER deteriorates seriously, while Ar‐BSCF5528 demonstrates a significant increase of electro­chemical performance in ORR. This study demonstrates that the electrochemical performances of a perovskite catalyst can be significantly determined by the simultaneous modification of both surface structure and internal defect chemistry, which are explained with transmission electron microscopy and atomic‐selective X‐ray absorption fine structure analyses, respectively.     

Determination of oxygen gradients in engineered tissue using a fluorescent sensor

Nutrient and oxygen supply of cells are crucial to tissue engineering in general. If a sufficient supply cannot be maintained, the development of the tissue will slow down or even fail completely. Previous studies on oxygen supply have focused on measurement of oxygen partial pressures (pO(2)) in culture media or described the use of invasive techniques with spatially limited resolution. The experimental setup described here allows for continuous, noninvasive, high-resolution pO(2) measurements over the cross-section of cultivated tissues. Applying a recently developed technique for time-resolved pO(2) sensing using optical sensor foils, containing luminescent O(2)-sensitive indicator dyes, we were able to monitor and analyze gradients in the oxygen supply in a tissue over a 3-week culture period. Cylindrical tissue samples were immobilized on top of the sensors. By measuring the luminescence decay time, two-dimensional pO(2) distributions across the tissue section in contact with the foil surface were determined. We applied this technique to cartilage explants and to tissue-engineered cartilage. For both tissue types, changes were detected in monotonously decreasing gradients of pO(2) from the surface with high pO(2) to minimum pO(2) values in the center of the samples. Nearly anoxic conditions were observed in tissue constructs ( approximately 0 Torr) but not in excised cartilage discs ( approximately 20 Torr) after 1 day. Furthermore, the oxygen supply seemed to strongly depend on cell density and cell function. Additionally, histological analysis revealed a maximum depth of approximately 1.3 mm of regular cartilage development in constructs grown under the applied culture conditions. Correlating analytical and histological analysis with the oxygen distributions, we found that pO(2) values below 11 Torr might impair proper tissue development in the center. The results illustrate that the method developed is an ideal one to precisely assess the oxygen demand of cartilage cultures.
