Unfertilized eggs of sea urchins, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus and Pseudocentrotus depressus, were treated with 4–5% butyric acid-sea water for 40–60 sec so that they were activated partheno-genetically without visible cortical changes. When these insufficiently activated eggs were inseminated 90–120 min after butyric acid-treatment, they divided much earlier than the control eggs in the first cleavage cycle. In the present paper, it becomes clear that if eggs are put into m /2,000-m /16,000 DNP-sea water at 60 min after insufficient activation and 30 min later, returned to normal sea water and then inseminated, they still show acceleration of the first cleavage in the same degree as the eggs which are not treated with DNP, while if eggs are exposed to DNP for 30 min prior to the insufficient activation or within 60 min after the activation, they do not show any acceleration of the cleavage. From these results, it may be concluded that some preparations for cleavage acceleration which are arrested by DNP become ready in the eggs at an early period in the first cleavage cycle and these preparations cannot be cancelled by DNP-treatment once they have been completed. 相似文献

1. The assemblage of planktonic methanotrophs in a stratified freshwater lake was investigated. Vertical patterns were analysed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, using the primer pair specific for 16S rRNA genes of type I methanotrophs.
2. The resulting banding patterns could be divided into three distinct groups, and sequenced bands were all related to the Methylobacter species. No amplicon was obtained with the primer pair specific for type II methanotrophs.
3. Cloning analysis of the pmoA gene was performed using samples from three water depths (epilimnion, metalimnion and hypolimnion). The compositions of the clone libraries from the three depths were distinct from each other but all three libraries were dominated by clones related to Methylobacter species. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. The genus Hyperamoeba Alexeieff, 1923 was established to accommodate an aerobic amoeba exhibiting three life stages—amoeba, flagellate, and cyst. As more species/strains were isolated, it became increasingly evident from small subunit (SSU) gene phylogenies and ultrastructure that Hyperamoeba is polyphyletic and its species occupy different positions within the class Myxogastria. To pinpoint Hyperamoeba strains within other myxogastrid genera we aligned numerous myxogastrid sequences: whole small subunit ribosomal (SSU or 18S rRNA) gene for 50 dark‐spored (i.e. Stemonitida and Physarida) Myxogastria (including a new “Hyperamoeba”/Didymium sequence) and a ~400‐bp SSU fragment for 147 isolates assigned to 10 genera of the order Physarida. Phylogenetic analyses show unambiguously that the type species Hyperamoeba flagellata is a Physarum (Physarum flagellatum comb. nov.) as it nests among other Physarum species as robust sister to Physarum didermoides. Our trees also allow the following allocations: five Hyperamoeba strains to the genus Stemonitis; Hyperamoeba dachnaya, Pseudodidymium cryptomastigophorum, and three other Hyperamoeba strains to the genus Didymium; and two further Hyperamoeba strains to the family Physaridae. We therefore abandon the polyphyletic and redundant genus Hyperamoeba. We discuss the implications for the ecology and evolution of Myxogastria, whose amoeboflagellates are more widespread than previous inventories supposed, being now found in freshwater and even marine environments. 相似文献

Unfertilized sea urchin eggs were pre-treated with 2–10 mM procaine sea water for 10 min and then fertilized 5 min later. These eggs hatched about 1–1.5 hr earlier than the control eggs. This acceleration of hatching seems to be the result of a reduction in the individual cleavage cycles. In the second series of experiments, eggs were inseminated at 5, 30 and 60 min after the procaine treatments. In this case, the rate of accelerated cleavage decreased gradually, as the intervals between the treatments and insemination were extended. Next, the minimum time-length of procaine treatment to accelerate cleavage was determined. When eggs were immersed in procaine for 1 min, cleavage was accelerated as in the case of 10 min-treatment, although acceleration to the same degree required higher concentrations of procaine solution. When fertilized eggs were post-treated with procaine, cleavage was also accelerated, but both the rate of acceleration and the effective concentrations decreased with time after fertilization. 相似文献

CORTICAL AND SUBCORTICAL CHANGES PRECEDING FURROW FORMATION IN THE CLEAVAGE OF NEWT EGGS 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

In the first cleavage of the egg of the newt, Cynops(Triturus) pyrrhogaster, some sort of preparation for the furrow formation in the cortical and subcortical cytoplasm precedes the advancing tip of the cleavage furrow. This is shown by the following facts: (1) Incisions made close to the tip of the cleavage furrow do not stop the progress of furrowing, allowing the furrow to cross the incisions and appear on the farther sides, while incisions made far enough from the furrow tip always prevent the further travelling of the furrow, (2) Displacement of the subcortical cytoplasm ahead of the furrow by rubbing with a hair loop makes the furrow bend corresponding to the width of the rubbed area, and (3) Transplantation of the subcortical material of the furrow tip to lateral parts in the same egg causes a depression in the overlying cortex at the transplanted position. The linear extension of the prepared area for the furrow formation is the longest in the animal hemisphere and it decreases in gradient towards the vegetal pole. 相似文献

The spontaneously diabetic torii (SDT) fatty rat is a new model of type 2 diabetes
showing overt obesity, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. With early onset of diabetes
mellitus, diabetic microvascular complications, including nephropathy, peripheral
neuropathy and retinopathy, are observed at young ages. In the present study, blood
glucose levels of female SDT fatty rats were controlled with phlorizin, a non-selective
SGLT inhibitor, to examine whether and how these complications are caused by
hyperglycemia. Phlorizin treatment adequately controlled plasma glucose levels during the
experiment. At 29 weeks of age, urinary albumin excretion considerably increased in SDT
fatty rats. Glomerulosclerosis and tubular pathological findings also indicate diabetic
nephropathy. These renal parameters tended to decrease with phlorizin; however, effects
were partial. Sciatic nerve conduction velocities were significantly delayed in SDT fatty
rats compared with Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Intraepidermal nerve fiber density, an
indicator of subclinical small nerve fiber neuropathy, significantly decreased in SDT
fatty rats. Retinal dysfunction (prolongation of peak latency for oscillatory potential in
electroretinograms) and histopathological eye abnormalities, including retinal folding and
mature cataracts were also observed. Both nerve and eye disorders were prevented with
phlorizin. These findings indicate that severe hyperglycemia mainly causes diabetic
complications in SDT fatty rats. However, other factors, such as hyperlipidemia and
hypertension, may affect diabetic nephropathy. These characteristics of diabetic
complications will become helpful in evaluating new drugs for diabetic complications using
SDT fatty rats. 相似文献

When two closely related species migrate to divergent spawning sites, divergent use of spawning habitats can directly reduce heterospecific mating. Furthermore, adaptations to divergent spawning habitats can promote speciation as a by‐product of ecological divergence. Here, we investigated habitat isolation and ecological divergence between two anadromous forms of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), the Japan Sea and Pacific Ocean forms. In several coastal regions of eastern Hokkaido, Japan, these forms migrate to the same watershed to spawn. Our field surveys in a single watershed revealed that segregation of distinct spawning sites between the two forms was maintained within the watershed across multiple years. These spawning sites diverged in salinity and predator composition. Morphological and physiological divergence between the forms also occurs in the direction predicted by ecological differences between the spawning sites. Our data indicate that migration into divergent spawning habitats can be an important mechanism contributing to speciation and phenotypic divergence in anadromous fishes. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. The bacterium Holospora is an endonuclear symbiont of the ciliate Paramecium. Previously, we reported that paramecia bearing the macronuclear‐specific symbiont Holospora obtusa survived better than symbiont‐free paramecia, even under high temperatures unsuitable for growth. The paramecia with symbionts expressed high levels of hsp70 mRNAs even at 25 °C, a usual growth temperature. We report herein that paramecia bearing the micronuclear‐specific symbiont Holospora elegans also acquire the heat‐shock resistance. Even after the removal of the bacteria from the hosts by treatment with penicillin, the resulting aposymbiotic paramecia nevertheless maintained their heat shock‐resistant nature for over 1 yr. Like symbiotic paramecia, these aposymbiotic paramecia also expressed high levels of both hsp60 and hsp70 mRNAs even at 25 °C. Moreover, analysis by fluorescent in situ hybridization with a probe specific for Holospora 16S rRNA revealed that the 16S rRNA of H. elegans was expressed around the nucleoli of the macronucleus in the aposymbiotic cells. This result suggests the possible transfer of Holospora genomic DNA from the micronucleus into the macronucleus in symbiotic paramecia. Perhaps this exogenous DNA could trigger the aposymbiotic paramecia to induce a stress response, inducing higher expression of Hsp60 and Hsp70, and thus conferring heat‐shock resistance. 相似文献

Human malignant melanoma cell lines were found to increase shedding of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) into the culture medium when the cells were treated with hyperthermia at 41–43°C for 3–6 hr in vitro. The content of ICAM-1 in the cell lysate was also found to be increased after hyperthermia. The increased rate of ICAM-1 concentration in the cells was at maximum when they were incubated at 41°C for 3 hr. Also, the melanoma cell lines heat-treated at 41°C showed more intense immuno-fluorescence in the ICAM-1 expression on the cell surface. It remains to be investigated further whether the effects of hyperthermia on the ICAM-1 expression in melanoma cells is to augment membrane ICAM-1 expression, which in turn leads to shedding of soluble ICAM-1 or only to acceleration of shedding of sICAM-1 by unknown mechanisms. 相似文献
