好氧反硝化微生物学机理与应用研究进展

近年来,关于好氧反硝化过程的研究主要集中在三个方面:分别是好氧反硝化菌株的分离和脱氮性能表征,好氧反硝化微生物的应用潜力分析,以及好氧反硝化过程的机理研究。好氧反硝化菌株分布范围广泛,可从多种环境中分离得到,种属以Pseudomonas sp.、Alcaligenes sp.和Paracoccus sp.为主。好氧反硝化菌株及菌群在实验室条件下表现出优良的耐冷、耐盐特性,并具有可降解毒性有机物及N_2O减排的潜力。关于好氧反硝化过程的机理研究表明,虽然硝酸盐作为电子受体的竞争力比氧气弱,但反硝化作为辅助电子传递途径,可提高产能效率,防止NAD(P)H的过量积累。因此,硝酸盐可与氧气同时参与微生物的新陈代谢,即发生好氧反硝化现象。未来除了继续分离更新更好的好氧反硝化菌株外,应加强对好氧反硝化机理及实际生物强化方面的研究。

Responses of growth of four desert species to different N addition levels

Aims The increase in atmospheric N deposition has accelerated N cycling of ecosystems, thus altering the structure and function of ecosystems, especially in those limited by N availability. Studies on the response of plant growth to artificial N addition could provide basic data for a better understanding of how the structure of grasslands in northern China responds to increasing N deposition. Methods We investigated the seasonal dynamics of plant growth of four species after 2-year multi-level N addition in a field experiment conducted in a desert steppe of Ningxia in 2011. Plant biomass and the relative growth rate (RGR) of the studied species were measured and their relationships with C:N:P ratios of plants (community and leaf levels) and soils were analyzed. Important findings Results in 2012 showed that 2-year N addition promoted the growth of the four species and the effects were different among growth forms and were species-specific. In general, the plant biomass of the studied species was significantly correlated with leaf N concentration, leaf N:P ratio, community N pool, soil total N content and soil N:P ratio, while only weak relationships were observed between plant biomass and C:N and C:P ratios of plants and soils. In contrast, there was a significant linear relationship between RGR and N:P ratios both of plants and soils.Our results suggest that short-term N addition promoted the accumulation of plant biomass, and the species-specific responses to stimulated N addition can directly affect the structure of the desert steppe ecosystem. Plant N:P ratio and soil N:P ratio could indicate nutrient limitation of plant growth to a certain extent: N addition increased soil N content and N:P ratio, and thus relieved N limitation gradually. Once more N is available to plants, the growth of plants and the accumulation of community N was stimulated in turn.     

Foliar nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry of alien invasive plants and co-occurring natives in Xishuangbanna

Aims How alien invasive plants and co-occurring native plants utilize nutrients is one of major issues in invasion ecology. Foliar nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) contents and stoichiometry can elucidate the uptake ability and limitation status of nutrients in plants, which provides basic knowledge for understanding the invading ability and co-occurrence or disappearance of plants.
Methods Based on typical alien invasive plants (Chromolaena odorata, Ageratina adenophora) and native plants in southwestern China, this study focused on strategies of N and P utilization among invasive plants and native plants under different invasion conditions. The species compositions, aboveground biomass, leaf N and P contents and leaf N:P were investigated for plants in plots with no invasion and with different invasion extents (estimated by the plot-based percentage of invaders’ biomass in total community) at Mt. Kongming in Xishuangbanna region, Yunnan Province, China.
Important findings The species number decreased significantly with the invasion extent of both C. odorata and A. adenophora, although the aboveground biomass was greatly enhanced. Leaf N and P contents did not differ between the two studied invaders, but they showed significantly higher N and P levels than both co-occurring and only native species (p < 0.05). Besides, leaf N and P contents of invaders increased with the invasion extent, and leaf N of native plants also showed an increasing trend with the invasion extent. When the influence of invasion was checked for the same species, leaf P contents decreased, whereas leaf N and N:P increased for most native plants under invasion. Based on the absolute foliar N and P contents, N:P values, we inferred that native plants were still limited by N, although N availability might be enhanced by invasion. Both invasive plants had leaf N:P values lower than 10, suggesting a higher P uptake relative to N uptake. All above results highlighted a higher N and P uptake of typical alien invasive plants in southwestern China.     

EBV裂解复制周期调控机制研究新进展

EBV与许多恶性疾病包括霍奇金病、伯基特淋巴瘤、鼻咽癌等恶性肿瘤发病有关人类B淋巴细胞是EBV天然宿主,其在宿主细胞中的生活周期分为潜伏感染和裂解感染。EBV潜伏感染时,为逃避宿主细胞的免疫杀伤,仅表达少量基因产物。而在外界条件如化学、物理或宿主细胞分化的刺激下,EBV可由潜伏感染进入到裂解复制(Lytic Replication)感染周期,促进病毒在宿主细胞中播散。根据EBV裂解复制产物出现的时间顺序可将裂解复制周期分为裂解复制立即早期、早期和晚期。1 EBV裂解复制不同时期产物的调控作用     

低氧预适应对离体星形胶质细胞低氧耐受性的影响

目的：研究低氧预适应对体外培养的星形胶质细胞低氧耐受性的影响。方法：体外培养的鼠脑星形胶质细胞,随机分为对照组（control,C组）,低氧损伤组（hypoxia,H组）,低氧预适应组（hypoxic preconditioning,HP组）,通过检测细胞MTT代谢变化、凋亡发生和形态学观察探讨低氧预适应对星型胶质细胞低氧损伤的保护作用;免疫细胞化学方法分析Bcl-2和Bax的表达差异。结果：与低氧组相比,HP48、HP72组MTT代谢活性较高。免疫细胞化学结果提示低氧预适应组Bcl-2表达高于低氧损伤组,低氧预适应组Bax表达低于低氧损伤组。结论：低氧预适应对大鼠星形胶质细胞低氧损伤有保护作用,可能与Bax表达受抑,维持Bcl-2表达有关,通过对抗凋亡程序的发展产生保护作用。     

烟夜蛾和棉铃虫对高浓度烟草挥发物的电生理和行为反应

寡食性的烟夜蛾Helicoverpa assulta (Guenée)和广食性的棉铃虫H. armigera (Hübner)是夜蛾属Heliothis的两近缘种昆虫。主要的农作物中,棉花和番茄上极少发现烟夜蛾,而辣椒上几乎没有棉铃虫,只有烟草均为二者所嗜食,也唯独在烟草上它们可以稳定共存。为明确植物挥发物对昆虫寄主定向和选择行为的影响,本文运用触角电位（EAG）和风洞技术,测定了两种夜蛾的处女雌蛾、交配雌蛾及雄蛾对20种高浓度（0.1 mol/L）烟草挥发物的电生理和行为反应。结果表明：烟夜蛾和棉铃虫对测试的烟草挥发物均可产生EAG反应,而且都表现出绿叶气味＞脂类和芳香化合物＞单萜、倍半萜和杂环化合物的总体反应趋势;两种夜蛾对多数化合物的EAG反应既无显著的种内性别差异,也无显著的种间差异,表明二者嗅觉神经系统对寄主气味图谱的识别和感受能力具有一定的相似性,可对寄主植物的化学信息产生相同的“理解”;二者的行为反应结果与EAG反应结果基本一致,即两种夜蛾受到的嗅觉刺激与产生的行为反应具有统一性,结合两种夜蛾寄主范围的差异,推测烟草挥发物主要影响两种夜蛾的寄主定向行为,而寄主选择行为可能更依赖于二者与植物接触后对植物理化性质的评价过程。
