Isolation and Phylogenetic Analysis of Halophilic Archaeon AJ6

Halophilic archaeon A J6 was isolated and purified from the Altun Mountain National Nature Reserve of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Strain AJ6 is a Gram-negative rod whose size is 0.2-0.6 by 1.6-4.2 μm,wherein a few cells are globular.The optimum salt concentration for its growth is 20% NaC1 and 0.6% Mg2+,and the optimum pH is 6.0-7.0.Morphological,physiological,and biochemical characteristics of strain AJ6 were observed.The 16S rRNA encoding gene (16S rDNA)sequence of strain A J6 was amplified by PCR,and its nucteotide sequence was determined subsequently."Clustalw"and"PHYLIP"software bags were used to analyze the 16S rDNA sequence;the homology was compared,and then the phylogenetic tree was established.The results indicate that strain AJ6 is a novel species of the genus Natrinema.The GenBank accession number of the 16S rDNA sequences of strain AJ6 is AY277584.     

酸性矿山废水污染的水稻田土壤中重金属的微生物学效应

采样调查了广东大宝山地区受酸性采矿废水长期污染的亚热带水稻田的土壤理化性质 ,重金属 Cu、Pb、Zn、Cd的全量及其 DTPA浸提量 ,以及微生物生物量及其呼吸活性等指标。利用主成分和逐步回归分析了影响土壤重金属的有效性及其微生物学效应的因素。结果表明 :土壤高含硫 ,强酸性 ,有机碳、全氮较低 ,4种金属的全量普遍超标。DTPA可提取态金属含量较高 ,不仅与其全量呈显著正相关 ,而且与土壤酸度和粘粒含量正相关 ,和 Mn含量负相关。过量的金属显著降低了土壤微生物生物量 C、N、微生物商、生物量 N/全 N比 ,并抑制了微生物呼吸强度和对有机碳的矿化率 ,导致了土壤 C/N比的升高。同时 ,金属对微生物群落及生理代谢指标 ,如微生物生物量 C/N比和代谢商的影响不显著。 DTPA可提取态金属 ,特别是 DTPA- Cu是导致微生物生物量和活性指标变化的主要因素。以有机碳 (或全氮 )为基数的复合微生物指标降低了土壤性质差异造成的干扰 ,较单一指标更能准确指示微生物对金属胁迫的反应。土壤硫没有对金属有效性和微生物指标产生明显影响 ,但其氧化过程可能引起酸化和金属离子的释放     

Inventory of the carabid beetle fauna of the Gaoligong Mountains,western Yunnan Province,China: species of the tribe Zabrini (Coleoptera,Carabidae)

A ten-year multidisciplinary, multi-national and multi-institutional biodiversity inventory project in the Gaoligong Shan region of western Yunnan Province, China generated more than 35,000 specimens of the beetle (Coleoptera) family Carabidae. In this report, first of a planned series, we focus on diversity in tribe Zabrini. Our study of just over 1300 specimens of zabrine carabids from the project, all in genus Amara Bonelli, found a total of 13 species, all previously described, to occur in the study area, with none of them strictly endemic. We present a key for identification of adults of these species, as well as nomenclatural data, diagnoses, illustrations of dorsal habitus and male genitalia, and information about geographical, altitudinal and habitat distributions within the study area and overall geographical distribution for each species. Distributions of the species within the study area are compared, and broader geographical range patterns are characterized. We also discuss a possible role of the Gaoligong Shan region as one source area for the present-day fauna of the Himalaya and southern edge of the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibetan) Plateau.

Isolation and Phylogenetic Analysis of Halophilic Archaeon AJ6

Halophilic archaeon AJ6 was isolated and purified from the Altun Mountain National Nature Reserve of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Strain AJ6 is a Gram-negative rod whose size is 0.2–0.6 by 1.6–4.2 μm, wherein a few cells are globular. The optimum salt concentration for its growth is 20% NaCl and 0.6% Mg²⁺, and the optimum pH is 6.0–7.0. Morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of strain AJ6 were observed. The 16S rRNA encoding gene (16S rDNA) sequence of strain AJ6 was amplified by PCR, and its nucleotide sequence was determined subsequently. “Clustalw” and “PHYLIP” software bags were used to analyze the 16S rDNA sequence; the homology was compared, and then the phylogenetic tree was established. The results indicate that strain AJ6 is a novel species of the genus Natrinema. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rDNA sequences of strain AJ6 is AY277584.

阿尔金山-昆仑山鸟类区系调查

2010～2012年连续3年调查新疆阿尔金山国家级自然保护区及周边包括昆仑山、祁曼塔格山、库木库里盆地的鸟类资源.共录得鸟类16目38科90属166种,约占新疆鸟类总数的36.6％.其中,金腰燕(Hirundo daurica)、冕柳莺(Phylloscopus coronatus)、日本松雀鹰(Accipiter gularis)为新疆首次记录.考察区介于青藏区与蒙新区之间,鸟类区系特点表现为高地型(23种,占13.9％)与中亚型(约49种,占29.9％)相互渗透,而北方型(69种,占42.1％)虽然排在首位,但多数是旅鸟,东洋型(1种,占0.6％)的种类比较罕见.依协克帕提湿地是鸟类的一个繁殖地,也是迁徙的重要驿站.     

基于植被覆盖度的藏羚羊栖息地时空变化研究

植被的分布及动态变化在一定程度上反映了动物栖息地的分布与变化。基于植被遥感影像数据及GIS空间分析,对阿尔金山国家级自然保护区植被景观的变化进行分析,同时通过植被类型要素识别出适宜藏羚羊生存的主要区域,对其植被覆盖度的时空变化进行分析。结果表明:保护区的植被覆盖度处于较低水平,低覆盖度植被区域占总植被覆盖区的50%左右,且植被覆盖度高的区域均集中在卡尔墩检查站的东南部。植被覆盖度在2000年、2005年、2010年间的增长趋势表明保护区植被对于动物的承载能力不断增大,植被的分布表明藏羚羊的活动区域植被覆盖度较高,而产羔区域的植被覆盖度较低且海拔较高。对藏羚羊取食植被针茅草原植被覆盖度的变化分析表明,针茅草原植被覆盖度随时间而有所提高,藏羚羊栖息地的面积可能有所增大,覆盖度分布的变化表明藏羚羊栖息地有向保护区西南方向扩散的趋势。对植被覆盖度与海拔关系的分析表明,高海拔区域植被覆盖度较低,中度海拔区域植被覆盖度较高,但是两者并不存在显著地相关性。
