乳酸菌食品级表达载体的研究与应用

乳酸菌是能够发酵糖类产生大量有机酸的革兰氏阳性菌的通称,在发酵食品中有着悠久的应用历史。乳酸菌通常被认为是安全菌株,这些微生物的基因工程操作在食品、医学等方面具有广阔的应用前景。表达载体是基因工程中常用的工具之一,大多数乳酸菌的表达载体通常以抗生素抗性基因作为选择标记,然而抗性基因具有潜在的转移性,因此需要开发食品级表达载体。食品级表达载体不含有抗生素的抗性基因,仅包含来自同源宿主或通常被认为是安全生物的DNA。本文介绍了乳酸菌食品级表达载体的构成及其常用宿主,同时对乳酸菌食品级表达载体的应用进行了归纳总结。     

翻压山黧豆绿肥与氮肥减施对水稻生长及其养分吸收与产量的影响

为探明种植翻压山黧豆绿肥与减施氮肥下的水稻生产潜力,通过3年田间定位试验,设置冬闲+不施肥(NF)、山黧豆绿肥(GM)、冬闲+常规氮肥(100%N,CK)、山黧豆绿肥+80%常规氮肥(GM+80%N)、山黧豆绿肥+70%常规氮肥(GM+70%N)、山黧豆绿肥+60%常规氮肥(GM+60%N)6个处理,研究不同处理对水稻生长、养分吸收及产量的影响。结果表明：(1)与CK相比,翻压山黧豆绿肥并减施氮肥处理均能够显著提升水稻株高、增加水稻分蘖数、提高水稻干物质积累量,其中以GM+70%N施肥处理提升效果最为明显。(2)GM+70%N施肥处理下,不同生育时期水稻株高、有效分蘖数分别较对照常规施肥(100%N)提升了13.32%~ 15.73%和33.98%~59.47%,水稻干物质积累量提高了23.19%~144.18%,且随着生育时期的推进增加速率依次降低。(3)种植翻压山黧豆绿肥并减施氮肥处理下水稻产量均有所提高,其中GM+70%N和GM+80%N处理显著提高,增产分别达13.84%,7.25%,且GM+70%N处理下水稻植株和籽粒养分吸收更为全面。研究发现,种植翻压山黧豆并适量减施氮肥能有效促进水稻生长和养分的吸收积累,显著提高水稻产量,说明翻压山黧豆绿肥可替代稻田30%~40%的氮肥施入量,并可在避免水稻旺长的同时实现水稻高产,是四川水稻种植较好的耕作措施。

为探究不同耕作方式和肥料水平对两种麦田害螨(麦叶爪螨Pentfaleus major和麦岩螨Petrobia latens)种群发生的影响,2019-2020年研究了浅耕(耕深13 cm)和深耕(耕深25cm)下标准施肥(600 kg/hm2)和肥料减施(375 kg/hm2)麦田两种害螨的若虫、成虫和种群发生动态.结果表明:相同肥料和耕作处理中麦叶爪螨发生量都明显高于麦岩螨发生量,麦叶爪螨是麦田主要害螨.与标准肥处理相比,肥料减施显著降低了 2019年浅耕和深耕下麦岩螨若虫发生量,以及2020年深耕麦田麦岩螨种群发生量.另一方面,与浅耕处理相比,深耕显著降低了 2019年标准肥麦田麦岩螨若虫发生量,并显著降低了 2019年和2020年标准肥麦田麦叶爪螨成虫发生量,以及2019年和2020年标准肥麦田麦叶爪螨和麦岩螨种群发生量.可见,肥料减施和深耕处理都可降低麦田麦叶爪螨和麦岩螨种群发生量,有利于实现麦田害螨生态防控.

Nuove segnalazioni di funghi entomogeni

Abstract

New records of entomogenous fungi. — New records of six entomogenous fungi, three Ascomycetes (Cordyceps lloydii Fawcett, C. memorabilis Ces., C. riverae Pacioni) and three Deuteromycetes (Akantomyces aranearum (Petch) Mains, Hirsutella citriformis Speare, Troglobiomyces guignardii (Maheu) Pacioni) are given. The new records allow to expand the known area of distribution of these parasites, to confirm the particular condition for fructification needed by some of them and to give new details for the less common species.     

Cloning,purification and biochemical characterisation of an organic solvent-, detergent-, and thermo-stable amylopullulanase from Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1

Thermostable amylopullulanases can catalyse the hydrolysis of both α-1,4 and α-1,6 glucosidic bonds and are of considerable interest in the starch saccharification industry. In this study, the gene Apu-Tk encoding an extracellular amylopullulanase was cloned from an extremely thermophilic anaerobic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1. Apu-Tk encodes an 1100-amino acid protein with a 27-residue signal peptide, which has a predicted mass of 125 kDa after signal peptide cleavage. Sequence alignments showed that Apu-Tk contains the five regions conserved in all GH57 family proteins. Full-length Apu-Tk was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The purified enzyme displayed both pullulanase and amylase activity. The optimal temperature for Apu-Tk to hydrolyse pullulan and soluble starch was >100 °C. Apu-Tk was also active at a broad range of pH (4–7), with an optimum pH of ~5.0–5.5. Apu-Tk also retained >30% of its original activity and partially folded globular structure in the presence of 8% SDS or 10% β-mercaptoethanol. The high yield, broad pH range, and stability of Apu-Tk implicate it as a potential enzyme for industrial applications.     

Chronic exposure to a 2 mT static magnetic field affects the morphology,the metabolism and the function of in vitro cultured swine granulosa cells

In recent years, the exposure of organisms to static magnetic fields (SMFs) is continuously increasing. Thus, we investigated the effect of chronic exposure to a 2 mT SMF on in vitro cultured swine granulosa cells (GCs). In particular, the culture expansion (cell viability and doubling time), the cell phenotype (cell morphology and orientation, actin and α-tubulin cytoskeleton), the cell metabolism (intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration [Ca²⁺]_i and mitochondrial activity) and the cell function (endocrine activity) were assessed. It has been found that the exposure to the field did not affect the cell viability, but the doubling time was significantly reduced (p < 0.05) in exposed samples after 72 h of culture. At the same time, the cell length and thickness significantly changed (p < 0.05), while the cell orientation was unaffected. Evident modifications were induced on actin and α-tubulin cytoskeleton after 3 days of exposure and, simultaneously, a change in [Ca²⁺]_i and mitochondrial activity started to become evident. Finally, the SMF exposure of GCs longer than 72 h determined a significant alteration of progesterone and estrogen production (p < 0.05). In conclusion, our results demonstrate that the chronic exposure of swine GCs to a 2 mT SMF exerts a negative effect on cell proliferation, morphology, biochemistry and endocrine function in an in vitro model.
