Interactions of chiral molecules with an (r)-n-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) phenylglycine HPLC stationary phase

Forty different chiral molecules were studied by liquid chromatography with a Pirkle-type, (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) phenylglycine (DNBPG), chiral stationary phase column. The dramatic effect of a small molecular change on chiral recognition was demonstrated using DL-amino acid derivatives. The inductive effect on chiral recognition was also studied using trifluoro-, trichloro-, dichloro-, monochloroacetyl, and acetyl derivatives of four different chiral amines. The study of the enantiomer separation of 11 different crown ethers of 2,2′-binaphthyldiyl showed that the rigidity of the chiral center can be an additional parameter in chiral recognition for the DNBPG phase but not for a β-cyclodextrin bonded chiral phase. It is apparent from this study that steric effects, inductive effects, and molecular rigidity play important roles in chiral recognition with DNBPG chiral stationary phases.     

Structures of the tetrahydrogenated menaquinones fromActinomadura angiospora,Faenia rectivirgula,andSaccharothrix australiensis

The structures of the tetrahydrogenated menaquinones fromActinomadura angiospora, Faenia rectivirgula, andSaccharothrix australiensis were determined by mass spectrometry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The positions of saturation of the tetrahydrogenated menaquinones fromFaenia rectivirgula andSaccharothrix australiensis were units II plus III (counting from the ring system), whereas that ofActinomadura angiospora had units III and VIII hydrogenated. The tetrahydrogenated menaquinones fromFaenia rectivirgula andSaccharothrix australiensis are similar to those characterized from other Gram-positive taxa to date, whereas that fromActinomadura angiospora represents a hitherto unknown isomer.     

Effects of oxygen on the growth and metabolism of Actinomyces viscosus

Abstract Actinomyces viscosus is a predominant microorganism in dental plaque. It is, just as the oral Streptococcus spp., a saccharolytic and aero-tolerant organism. We have investigated the effects of oxygen on the growth and metabolism of A. viscosus . To this end A. viscosus Ut 2 was grown in a glucose limited chemostat culture on a chemically defined medium ( D = 0.2 h⁻¹) with exposure to variable amounts of oxygen. The Y_glucose increased from 62.5 g · mol⁻¹ under anaerobic conditions to 149 g · mol⁻¹ under aerobic conditions, while, concomitantly, the carbon recovery from acidic fermentation products decreased from 75% to 7%. Addition of [¹⁴C]glucose to the chemostat showed that the glucose, which was not converted to acidic fermentation products, was instead converted to carbon dioxide or used for the production of biomass. Under aerobic and anaerobic conditions identical cytochrome spectra, containing only two cytochrome b -type absorption bands, were found. It was concluded that electron transport phosphorylation probably occurs both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Anaerobically, fumarate served as the electron acceptor, while the high growth yields observed under aerobic conditions are likely to be explained by citric acid cycle activity coupled to electron transport phosphorylation.     

人胸腺上皮细胞培养及其分泌产物

本文通过降低培养基中血清含量,向RPMI 1640培养基中补加三碘甲腺原氨酸而获得一种人胸腺网状上皮细胞占优势生长的培养物。在此培养基中细胞经传代培养长达90天,仍维持正常形态特征。胸腺组织在培养14天后,新生细胞的突起形成网状结构,细胞化学检查和电镜观察表明具有丰富的分泌颗粒,囊泡及张力原纤维束和桥粒等上皮细胞特征。收集合并细胞培养液,经部分纯化后检查其生物活性,表现出具有促进玫瑰花结形成和降低胸腺细胞TdT活性的作用,说明培养细胞的分泌产物具有胸腺激素活性。根据形态学,细胞化学和生物活性检测结果,我们倾向于认为该培养物主要为网状上皮细胞。     

从“湖北光敏感核不育水稻”的未受精子房和花药培养出单倍体植株

采用10种诱导培养基,培养湖北光敏感核不育水稻农垦58品种的未受精子房和花药。共培养未受精子房2790个,获得胚囊愈伤组织17块,最高诱导频率达3.33%,其中2块分化出绿苗。培养花药16740个,获得花药愈伤组织15块,最高诱导频率为0.92%,其中3块分化出苗,2丛白苗,1株绿苗。胚囊植株和花粉植株经根尖染色体检查为单倍体,2n=x=12。实验证明,液体培养、2,4-D0.2-0.5 mg/1、低温预处理对诱导胚囊愈伤组织及花粉愈伤组织的形成具良好效果。     

中国人线粒体DNA的八种限制酶图及其电镜结构

尽管Anderson等人(1981)已测定了人mtDNA的全部序列,但还不能全面地反映整个人类mtDNA核苷酸序列的情况。因此,在具有代表特征的中国人mtDNA序列被测定之前,为了开展对中国人mtDNA的遗传学研究,笔者构建了中国人mtDNA的8种限制酶图。并通过电镜技术对mtDNA进行了研究,发现了一种周长为2μm的小环状DNA,推测它可能在核DNA和mtDNA之间的信息传递或衰老发生中起到某些作用。     

甜椒花药绒毡层的二型性及其组织化学研究

在甜椒（Capsicum annuum L.)中,靠近花粉中部的绒毡层自药隔产生,由较大的细胞组成,而花药外部区域的其余的绒毡层细胞较小,来自于初生壁层,前者的细胞具有大液泡和较大的细胞核,甲基绿－派罗宁和汞－溴酚蓝染色反应较后者弱,在造孢组织时期,二者液泡内都含有较大的球形的酸性磷酸酶颗粒,在以后的发育中,这种颗粒消失,在减数分裂时期,两种绒毡层的DNA,RNA和蛋白质合成活动增强,来自药隔的绒毡层积累了更多的DNA,绒毡层在解体时酸性磷本酶活性很高,两种不同的绒毡层退化过程相似,在全部发育过程中绒毡层内无淀粉粒。
