A simplified approach was devised to recycle sweet whey in production of spore-δ-endotoxin complex from certain entomopathogenic
varieties ofBacillus thuringiensis Berliner. The process suggested aimed at the protection of the environment through dual channels namely biological oxygen
demand (BOD) reduction of the byproduct under investigation and its incorporation in a microbial fermentation for production
of pollution-free biological insecticides. The sweet whey could be used successfully for endotoxin production as complete
fermentation media both as such and with simple treatments. Supplementation of whey media with ground leguminous seeds and
fodder yeast resulted in marked increase in the yields of endotoxin produced but the toxicity was not increased proportionnally.
Standard biological assays revealed high efficiency of certain strains ofB.t. var.entomocidus, kurstaki andgalleriae in producing endotoxins highly active against 3rd instar larvae ofSpodoptera littoralis Boisduval,Spodoptera exigua Hübner andHeliothis armigera Hübner. The suggested approach and the findings obtained are discussed in view of their application feasibilities.
Résumé Une méthode simplifiée a été mise au point pour recycler le petit lait dans la production du complexe spore-δ-endotoxine de certaines variétés entomopathogènes deBacillus thuringiensis Berliner. Le procédé proposé a pour but la protection de l'environnement par un double canal chimique, c'est-à-dire la réduction de la demande biologique en oxygène du sous produit étudié et son incorporation dans une fermentation microbienne pour la fabrication d'insecticides biologiques non polluants. Le petit lait peut être employé avec succès pour la production d'endotoxine à la fois en tant que milieux complets de fermentation et avec des traitements simples. L'addition aux milieux à base de petit lait de graines de légumineuses et de levure alimentaire aboutit à une augmentation sensible des rendements en endotoxine mais la toxicité n'est pas accrue en proportion. Des essais biologiques normalisés montrent une activité élevée de certaines souches deB.t. var.entomocidus, kurstaki etgalleriae qui produisent des endotoxines très actives à l'égard des larves de 3e stage deSpodoptera littoralis Boisduval,Spodoptera exigua Hübner etHeliothis armigera Hübner. La méthode proposée et les résultats obtenus sont discutés en vue de leur faisabilité d'application.相似文献

Boophilus annulatus, Hyalomma excavatum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks were shown to be susceptible to different entomopathogenic fungi under laboratory conditions. Comparative results of
bioassays using five different fungal species showed that some strains of Metarhizium anisopliae are highly pathogenic against various tick stages tested. In contrast to their activity against insects, fungi also affected
tick eggs. All tested tick stages including those feeding on a host were found to be susceptible to these fungi, except for
adult H. excavatum ticks, which were relatively resistant.

Aims
As one of the five Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes, LDH5 has the highest efficiency to catalyze pyruvate transformation to lactate. LDH5 overexpression in cancer cells induces an upregulated glycolytic metabolism and reduced dependence on the presence of oxygen. Here we analyzed LDH5 protein expression in a well characterized large cohort of primary lung cancers in correlation to clinico-pathological data and its possible impact on patient survival.Methods
Primary lung cancers (n = 269) and non neoplastic lung tissue (n = 35) were tested for LDH5 expression by immunohistochemistry using a polyclonal LDH5 antibody (ab53010). The results of LDH5 expression were correlated to clinico-pathological data as well as to patient's survival. In addition, the results of the previously tested Transketolase like 1 protein (TKTL1) expression were correlated to LDH5 expression.Results
89.5% (n = 238) of NSCLC revealed LDH5 expression whereas LDH5 expression was not detected in non neoplastic lung tissues (n = 34) (p < 0.0001). LDH5 overexpression was associated with histological type (adenocarcinoma = 57%, squamous cell carcinoma = 45%, large cell carcinoma = 46%, p = 0.006). No significant correlation could be detected with regard to TNM-stage, grading or survival. A two sided correlation between the expression of TKTL1 and LDH5 could be shown (p = 0.002) within the overall cohort as well as for each grading and pN group. A significant correlation between LDH5 and TKTL1 within each histologic tumortype could not be revealed.Conclusions
LDH5 is overexpressed in NSCLC and could hence serve as an additional marker for malignancy. Furthermore, LDH5 correlates positively with the prognostic marker TKTL1. Our results confirm a close link between the two metabolic enzymes and indicate an alteration in the glucose metabolism in the process of malignant transformation. 相似文献5.

The synthesis of hydrophobic plastic films was performed by acylation of agaroids with lauroyl chloride in the N,N-dimethylacetamide
homogeneous system. All the plastic films were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and their degrees of substitution (DS)
was deduced from their 1H-NMR spectra. In addition, thermomechanical feature of plastic films were analyzed and compared to those obtained from other
kinds of hydrophobic plastic films. Latin square design of experiments helped us to determine optimized experimental conditions
and identify the most important factors. Hence, mild conditions of acylation (90∘C, 1 eq/OH of lauroyl chloride, 1 eq/OH of
4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5,min) led to the production of highly substituted plastic films (DS = 3.62; maximum 4) with a high
weight yield (211%) displaying mechanical properties close to polyethylene low density. 相似文献

The expression and function of embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMYH) has not been investigated within the early developing heart. This is despite the knowledge that other structural proteins, such as alpha and beta myosin heavy chains and cardiac alpha actin, play crucial roles in atrial septal development and cardiac function. Most cases of atrial septal defects and cardiomyopathy are not associated with a known causative gene, suggesting that further analysis into candidate genes is required. Expression studies localised eMYH in the developing chick heart. eMYH knockdown was achieved using morpholinos in a temporal manner and functional studies were carried out using electrical and calcium signalling methodologies. Knockdown in the early embryo led to abnormal atrial septal development and heart enlargement. Intriguingly, action potentials of the eMYH knockdown hearts were abnormal in comparison with the alpha and beta myosin heavy chain knockdowns and controls. Although myofibrillogenesis appeared normal, in knockdown hearts the tissue integrity was affected owing to apparent focal points of myocyte loss and an increase in cell death. An expression profile of human skeletal myosin heavy chain genes suggests that human myosin heavy chain 3 is the functional homologue of the chick eMYH gene. These data provide compelling evidence that eMYH plays a crucial role in important processes in the early developing heart and, hence, is a candidate causative gene for atrial septal defects and cardiomyopathy. 相似文献

Sterigmatocystin (Stg) is closely related to the mycotoxin aflatoxin as a precursor in aflatoxin biosynthesis and classified as an IARC Group-2B carcinogen. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of Egyptian montmorillonite (EM), a clay mineral, to adsorb Stg, to test the stability of the resulting complex under different conditions in vitro, and to utilize the Nile tilapia fish as an in vivo model to evaluate the protective effect of EM against Stg-induced toxicity and clastogenicity. In the in vitro study, four concentrations of EM (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/L aqueous solution) and three concentrations of Stg (5, 10 and 50 microg/ml) were tested. The results show that EM had a high capacity of adsorbing Stg at different concentrations tested. The adsorption ranged from 93.1 to 97.8% of the available Stg in aqueous solutions. The complex was stable at different pHs at 37 degrees C in different organic solvents. An in vivo experiment was conducted to evaluate the ability of EM to prevent the toxicity and chromosomal aberrations induced by Stg in the Nile tilapia fish. Fish received an intragastric dose of EM in corn oil (0.5 mg/kg bw) with or without Stg (1.6 microg/kg bw) twice a week for 4 weeks. Body weight was recorded during dosing, and blood and tissue samples were collected at the end of treatment. Stg residues were determined in fish tissue. The results show that Stg was toxic and clastogenic to fish as indicated by the significant decrease of body weight and the increase in frequencies of micronucleated red blood cells (MN RBC) and chromosomal aberrations in the kidney. The intragastric administration of EM combined with Stg to fish resulted in a reduction of the number of MN RBC and the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in the kidney compared with the group treated with Stg alone. It could be concluded that EM itself was safe and successful in the prevention of Stg toxicity and clastogenicity. 相似文献

Geotrichum candidum and Penicillium camembertii were cultivated in pure and mixed cultures on glutamate- and lactate-based medium. In pure culture, P. camembertii assimilated simultaneously glutamate, as a nitrogen and carbon source for biosynthesis, and lactate as an energy source. On the contrary, G. candidum grew on glutamate alone. The mixed culture led to higher growth rates and then higher rates of substrate consumption and metabolite production than each pure culture; however, the behaviour recorded was similar to that observed during G. candidum pure culture, in particular the absence of lactate assimilation during growth, illustrating a commensalism between both species. The presence of G. candidum induced a form of “competition” and then a better assimilation by P. camembertii of the sole nitrogen source, glutamate, which was therefore used as an energy source in addition to be a carbon (and nitrogen) source. Lactate was only used for energy supply during stationary state, as also recorded during G. candidum pure culture. 相似文献

Cobblestone lissencephaly is a peculiar brain malformation with characteristic radiological anomalies. It is defined as cortical dysplasia that results when neuroglial overmigration into the arachnoid space forms an extracortical layer that produces agyria and/or a “cobblestone” brain surface and ventricular enlargement. Cobblestone lissencephaly is pathognomonic of a continuum of autosomal-recessive diseases characterized by cerebral, ocular, and muscular deficits. These include Walker-Warburg syndrome, muscle-eye-brain disease, and Fukuyama muscular dystrophy. Mutations in POMT1, POMT2, POMGNT1, LARGE, FKTN, and FKRP identified these diseases as alpha-dystroglycanopathies. Our exhaustive screening of these six genes, in a cohort of 90 fetal cases, led to the identification of a mutation in only 53% of the families, suggesting that other genes might also be involved. We therefore decided to perform a genome-wide study in two multiplex families. This allowed us to identify two additional genes: TMEM5 and ISPD. Because TMEM has a glycosyltransferase domain and ISPD has an isoprenoid synthase domain characteristic of nucleotide diP-sugar transferases, these two proteins are thought to be involved in the glycosylation of dystroglycan. Further screening of 40 families with cobblestone lissencephaly identified nonsense and frameshift mutations in another four unrelated cases for each gene, increasing the mutational rate to 64% in our cohort. All these cases displayed a severe phenotype of cobblestone lissencephaly A. TMEM5 mutations were frequently associated with gonadal dysgenesis and neural tube defects, and ISPD mutations were frequently associated with brain vascular anomalies. 相似文献
