Lysis of a red-tide causing alga,Alexandrium tamarense,caused by bacteria from its phycosphere

There are bacteria coexisting in xenic cultures of Alexandrium tamarense, a red-tide causing alga. However little is known concerning the interactions between the alga and the bacteria in its phycosphere. The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of the bacteria in its phycosphere on the growth of the alga. We added one percent (v/v) Zobell 2216E medium to A. tamarense culture to alter bacterial growth and the results showed that algal cells were all lysed within 14 h. After adding the medium, both the abundance and the extracellular enzyme activity of the bacteria increased by 50–100 times from the 4th to the 10th hour which resulted in lysis of the algae. The 16S rRNA gene fragments of the bacteria were amplified from the DNA extracted from A. tamarense cultures and analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and sequencing. The structure of the bacterial community in phycosphere changed significantly during algal lysis. Two bacterial genera, Alteromonas sp. and Thalassobius aestuarii sp. are key factors that caused the lysis, and the β-glucosidase and chitinase produced by the bacteria in the phycosphere could directly cause the lysis. These experiments provide evidence that bacteria in its phycosphere play a key role in the culture of A. tamarense, and may provide insights into the future biocontrol of red-tides.     

不同耕作处理下大豆生物固N能力及对系统N素的贡献

2002年至2003年在黄土高原研究了4个耕作处理,传统耕作（t）、传统耕作＋秸秆覆盖（ts）、免耕（nt）和免耕＋秸秆覆盖（nts）下大豆的生物固N百分率（％Ndfa）、固N数量及其对春玉米-冬小麦-夏大豆轮作系统中N素的贡献。结果表明,在t、ts、nt和nts处理下2002年的生物固N百分率为17．6％、34．3％、22．4％和19．3％,2003年则为58．5％、62．4％、54．9％和43．8％,其中2003年的生物固N百分率比2002年分别高出69．9％、45．O％、59．3％和56．1％,固N数量高出56．2％、33．8％、49．5％和43．1％。大豆生物固N百分率、生物固N数量与生物量呈正相关关系,在ts处理下显著相关。土壤NO3-N含量和大豆固N数量呈负相关,大豆植株吸N量占土壤NO3-N的百分比在2002年为：t（88．1）〉ts（84．6）〉nts（78．7）〉nt（63．6）,2003年为：t（115．5）〉ts（104．2）〉nts（99．8）〉nt（95．8）。2002年大豆对该轮作系统的N素贡献分别为6．6（t）、11．6（ts）、6．5（nt）和6．1（nts）kg／hm^2,生物固N量占总N输入量的百分比为14．6（t）、21．5（ts）、14．9（nt）和12．9（nts）;2003年大豆对系统的N素贡献分别为14．9（t）、17．6（ts）、12．9（nt）和10．7（nts）kg／hm2,生物固N量占总N输入的百分比为63．2％（t）、58．5％（nt）、47．7％（ts）和39．9％（nts）。年际变异造成了大豆生物固N的年际差异,秸杆覆盖＋耕作因改善水分状况,而促进了大豆的生物固N作用。

Purification and characterization of a novel antifungal protein secreted by Penicillium chrysogenum from an Arctic sediment

A fungal strain, Penicillium chrysogenum A096, was isolated from an Arctic sediment sample. Its culture supernatant inhibited mycelial growth of some plant pathogenic fungi. After saturation of P. chrysogenum A096 culture supernatant with ammonium sulfate and ion exchange chromatography, a novel antifungal protein (Pc-Arctin) was purified and identified by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS). The gene encoding for Pc-Arctin consisting of 195 nucleotides was cloned from P. chrysogenum A096 to confirm the mass spectrometry result. Pc-Arctin displays antifungal activity against Paecilomyces variotii, Alternaria longipes, and Trichoderma viride at minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 24, 48, and 192 ng/disc, respectively. Pc-Arctin was most sensitive to proteinase K and then to trypsin but insensitive to papain. Pc-Arctin possesses high thermostability and cannot be antagonized by common surfactants, except for sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Divalent ions, such as Mn²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Zn²⁺, inhibited the antifungal activity of Pc-Arctin. Hemagglutination assays showed that Pc-Arctin had no hemagglutinating or hemolytic activity against red blood cells (RBC) from rabbits, rats, and guinea pigs. Therefore, Pc-Arctin from Arctic P. chrysogenum may represent a novel antifungal protein with potential for application in controlling plant pathogenic fungal infection.

Algicidal Effects of a Novel Marine Actinomycete on the Toxic Dinoflagellate <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alexandrium tamarense</Emphasis>

A marine actinomycete strain BS01 with algicidal activity to the toxic dinoflagellate, Alexandrium tamarense, was isolated from Xiamen Bay, China. Sequence analysis of 16S rDNA demonstrates that BS01 is closely related to the genus Brevibacterium of Actinomycetales. BS01 exhibited algicidal activity in an indirect manner. Additional organic nutrients, but not algal-derived dissolved organic matter, were necessary for the synthesis of yet unidentified algicidal compounds (molecular weight less than 100), which were heat tolerant, a stable in acidic or alkali conditions, and exhibited a wide range of algicidal activity. This is the first report of an actinomycete algicide to the toxic dinoflagellate A. tamarense. Our results indicate that BS01 could be a potential bio-agent for controlling harmful algal blooms.     

Culture-independent and -dependent methods to investigate the diversity of planktonic bacteria in the northern Bering Sea

Planktonic bacteria are abundant in the Bering Sea. However, very little is known about their diversity and the roles of various bacteria in the ocean. Bacterioplankton diversity in the northern Bering Sea was investigated using a combination of molecular and cultivation-based methods. Community fingerprint analysis using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis revealed an apparent difference in the bacterioplankton community composition between sampling locations in the area. The bacterial communities were characterized by two 16S rRNA gene clone libraries for surface and bottom water at shallow station NEC5 (<60 m in depth) on the continental shelf. Sequences fell into 21 major lineages of the domain Bacteria, including Proteobacteria (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta), Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, Fusobacteria, Chlamydiae, Chloroflexi, Chlorobi, Spirochaetes, Cyanobacteria (or algal chloroplasts), and candidate divisions OP8, OP11, TM6, TM7, and WS3. Significant differences were found between the two clone libraries. Actinobacteria formed the dominant bacterial lineage in both surface and bottom water, and the Alphaproteobacteria was another dominant fraction in surface water. A total of 232 heterotrophic bacterial strains were isolated and 81% showed extracellular proteolytic activity. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolates fell into three bacterial groups, including the Gammaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes. The most common genus in both the bacterial isolates and protease-producing bacteria was Pseudoalteromonas. Divergence of bacterial community composition in the northern Bering Sea was mainly characterized by the dominance of Actinobacteria and reflected a bacterial community different from that currently known for marine bacterioplankton communities in other polar regions.
