Intra-specific diversity of 200 Aureobasidium pullulans strains isolated from different sources and their relatives Kabatiella lini CBS 125.21 T and Hormonema prunorum CBS 933.72 T were studied by assessment of macromorphological, and physiological tests, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis technique (SDS–PAGE) of whole-cell proteins as well as enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus
(ERIC)-, repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP)- and BOX-PCR techniques (collectively known as rep-PCR). Rep-PCR is an efficient
procedure for discrimination of A. pullulans in terms of simplicity and rapidity. RFLP-PCR technique was applied for the identification of A. pullulans isolates and distinction from related species. This technique was insufficient for investigation of intra-specific diversity.
The tested strains of A. pullulans could be divided into two groups based on their macromorphological, protein patterns obtained after SDS-PAGE as well as rep-PCR
patterns. The first group of strains shared similar characteristics and was very different from the second one, designated
as “complex group”, consisting of strains with very little similarities within the group. Phenetic analysis of ERIC banding
patterns failed to group the isolates on the basis of their substrate or geographical origin. Using 18S rDNA gene sequence
analysis of selected isolates, three strains: HoHe3 km, A. pullulans DSM 62074 and H. prunorum CBS 933.72 T were distinguished from all other analysed members of genera Aureobasidium and Kabatiella.

Callus cultures derived from leaf segments of chrysanthemum cultivar ‘Snow Ball’ which was susceptible to Septoria obesa were successfully used for in vitro selection for resistance to this pathogenic fungus. Resistant cell lines were selected by culturing callus on growth medium
containing various concentrations of S. obesa filtrate. Resistant calluses obtained after two cycles (30 d each cycle) of selection were used for plant regeneration. About
30% of the plants regenerated from the resistant calluses and 70–80% of the plants raised from cuttings had acquired considerable
resistance against the pathogen in the field. No phenotypic variation was observed in the selected regenerates. 相似文献

Weakly electric fish react to resistance and capacitance of objects that locally amplify and distort their self-generated
Electric Organ Discharge (EOD) received by their skin receptors. The successive-layer structure of tissues gives certain biological
materials a kind of electrical anisotropy. A polarized object, for instance, will conduct current differently in one versus
the other direction. This diode-like electric anisotropy should make a significant difference to a Mormyrid who emits a directional,
biphasic EOD and whose receptors are sensitive to EOD amplitude and distortion changes. The ability of Gnathonemus petersii (Mormyridae) to discriminate polarity was investigated on a virtual object by manipulating changes in a circuit comprised
of diodes combined in various ways. The “novelty response,” an increase in the discharge rate in response to perceived changes,
was used to assess the fish’s sensitivity. Indeed, G. petersii detects polarized objects and discriminates between polarity directions. However, the diode-like anisotropy entails a voltage
threshold. Because voltage decreases with distance, and the EOD comprises opposite phases of different amplitudes, the active
spaces of detection and discrimination are different and depend on the object orientation. Electric polarity thus extends
the “palette” of dielectric properties used by this fish to evaluate object quality, direction, and distance. 相似文献

Biological control of the cyst forming nematode Heterodera cajani was studied on sesame using plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPT3 and LPT5. Based on plant growth promoting attributes, two fluorescent pseudomonads, LPT3 and LPT5 were evaluated for
their efficacy against cyst forming nematode Heterodera cajani that parasitize Sesamum indicum. Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPT5 produced IAA, HCN, chitinase, glucanase and siderophore, and also solubilized inorganic phosphate in vitro. Moreover,
LPT5 resulted in mortality of second stage juveniles of H. cajani, which was 13% higher as compared to P. aeruginosa LPT3. Interestingly, when both strains were inoculated together for the management of H. cajani on Sesamum indicum the population of H. cajani was reduced significantly, in field trial. Approximately 60% reduction in cyst and juveniles population was recorded with
LPT5 coated seeds, while LPT3 resulted in 49% reduction in cyst and juvenile population as compared to control. Plants grown
with seeds bacterized with LPT5 and reduced doses of urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP), muriate of potash (K) and gypsum gave
maximum increase in yield, in comparison to that of plants raised under the influence of recommended or full doses of the
chemical fertilizers. Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPT5 also showed excellent root colonization. 相似文献

Melanins are enigmatic pigments that are produced by a wide variety of microorganisms including several species of bacteria
and fungi. For more than 40 years, fungi have been known to produce pigments called melanins. Melanin pigment production by
mushrooms was not intensively studied. The present study was carried out on isolation and characterization of melanin from
an edible mushroom Pleurotus
cystidiosus var. formosensis. The mushroom produced dark mucous mass of hyaline arthrospores on mycelium. The coremia exclusively produced dikaryotic
arthrospores with the remnant of a clamp connection. Continuous cell extension and division in the coremium stipe supplied
cells for arthroconidiation at the coremium apex, which is surrounded by a liquid droplet (coremioliquid). The black coloured
coremea (conidia) were produced by Antromycopsis macrocarpa (anamorph of P. cystidiosus) when cultured on potato dextrose agar medium. The agar plate was incubated at continuous light illumination for high amount
of pigment (coremea) production. The slimy layer of the coremea was extracted and partially purified by alkaline and acid
treatment. The black pigment was confirmed as melanin based on UV, IR and EPR spectra apart from chemical analysis. This is
the first report on characterization of melanin obtained from Pleurotus
cystidiosus var. formosensis. 相似文献

Kappaphycus striatum var. sacol was grown in two separate studies: (1) at two stocking densities, and (2) at four different depths, each for three different
durations of culture (30, 45 and 60 days) in order to determine the growth rate of the seaweed and evaluate the carrageenan
content and its molecular weight. The results demonstrated that stocking density, duration of culture and depth significantly
(P < 0.01) affected the growth rate, carrageenan content and molecular weight of K. striatum var. sacol. Decreasing growth rate was observed at both stocking densities and at four depths as duration of culture increased. A lower
stocking density (500 g m−1line−1) showed a higher growth rate for the shortest durations, i.e. 30 days, as compared to those grown at a higher density. Likewise,
decreasing growth rate was observed as depth increased, except at 50 cm after 60 days of culture. A 45-day culture period
produced the highest molecular weight at both stocking densities (500 g m−1line−1 = 1,079.5 ± 31.8 kDa, 1,000 g m−1line−1 = 1,167 ± 270.6 kDa). ‘Sacol’ grown for 30 days at 50 cm (1,178 kDa) to 100 cm (1,200 kDa) depth showed the highest values
of molecular weight of carrageenan extracted. The results suggested that K. striatum var. sacol is best grown at a stocking density of 500 g m−1line−1, at a depth of 50–100 cm, and for a duration of 30 days in order to provide the highest growth rate, carrageenan content
and molecular weight. 相似文献

We studied the oviposition performance of Fopius arisanus (Sonan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) attacking eggs of four fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha Schiner (Diptera: Tephritidae) under laboratory conditions. The complete process of oviposition on an individual egg of Anastrepha ludens (Loew) lasts in average 85.4 ± 2.9 s, including a tremor (25.8 ± 1.03 s) observed in the middle of this process related to
the egg’s descent. The average parasitism of A. ludens egg was 60.9 ± 7.5%, with only 1.2% of superparasitized eggs. During individual acts of oviposition, we noted that F. arisanus possesses a highly flexible ovipositor that curves easily as it searches for additional suitable eggs, which may be of particular
benefit when a female finds large clutches of eggs. The individual oviposition of F. arisanus in host fruits attacked by Anastrepha spp. varies with the egg clutch size of each fruit fly species: A. serpentina laid the biggest egg clutches (21.3 ± 1.4), followed by A. ludens (14.2 ± 0.9), and A. striata (1.0 ± 0.0) (=A. obliqua). The time spent by F. arisanus in individual ovipositions was parallel to these findings, reinforcing the idea that F. arisanus attacks several eggs in each individual insertion of its ovipositor. Neither formal oviposition acts, nor adult emergences
of F. arisanus were registered in A. obliqua. We discuss the potential of F. arisanus as natural enemy of fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha, and explore the eventual developing of its mass rearing.

α-Amylase from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera R-64 was successfully purified by butyl Toyopearl hydrophobic interaction chromatography, followed by Sephadex G-25 size
exclusion and DEAE Toyopearl anion exchange chromatography. The enzyme has a molecular mass of 54 kDa, as judged by SDS PAGE
analysis. Upon tryptic digestion, two major fragments with relative molecular masses of 39 kDa and 10 kDa, which resemble
the A/B and C-terminal domains in the homologous Taka-amylase, were obtained and were successfully separated with the Sephadex
G-50 size exclusion column. The 39-kDa fragment demonstrated a similar amylolytic activity to that of the undigested enzyme.
However, it was found that the K
m value of the 39-kDa fragment was about two-times higher than that of the undigested enzyme. Moreover, thermostability studies
showed a lower half-life time for the 39-kDa fragment. These findings suggest that the 39-kDa fragment is the catalytic domain,
while the 10-kDa fragment is the C-terminal one, which plays a role in thermostability and starch binding. Although the undigested
enzyme is able to act on raw starches at room temperature, with maize starches as the best substrate, neither the undigested
enzyme nor the fragments adsorb the tested raw starches. These results propose Saccharomycopsis fibuligera α-amylase as a raw starch-digesting but not adsorbing amylase, with a similar domain organization to that of Taka-amylase A. 相似文献

An efficient method for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of embryogenic cell suspension cultures of Santalum album L. is described. Embryogenic cell suspension cultures derived from stem internode callus were transformed with Agrobacterium
tumefaciens harbouring pCAMBIA 1301 plant expression vector. Transformed colonies were selected on medium supplemented with hygromycin
(5 mg/l). Continuously growing transformed cell suspension cultures were initiated from these colonies. Expression of β-glucuronidase
in the suspension cultures was analysed by RT-PCR and GUS histochemical staining. GUS specific activity in the transformed
suspension cultures was quantified using a MUG-based fluorometric assay. Expression levels of up to 105,870 pmol 4-MU/min/mg
of total protein were noted in the transformed suspension cultures and 67,248 pmol 4-MU/min/mg of total protein in the spent
media. Stability of GUS expression over a period of 7 months was studied. Plantlets were regenerated from the transformed
embryogenic cells. Stable insertion of T-DNA into the host genome was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. This is the first
report showing stable high-level expression of a foreign protein using embryogenic cell suspension cultures in S. album.

Partial gyrB sequences (>1 kb) were obtained from 34 type strains of the genus Amycolatopsis. Phylogenetic trees were constructed to determine the effectiveness of using this gene to predict taxonomic relationships
within the genus. The use of gyrB sequence analysis as an alternative to DNA–DNA hybridization was also assessed for distinguishing closely related species.
The gyrB based phylogeny mostly confirmed the conventional 16S rRNA gene-based phylogeny and thus provides additional support for
certain of these 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic groupings. Although pairwise gyrB sequence similarity cannot be used to predict the DNA relatedness between type strains, the gyrB genetic distance can be used as a means to assess quickly whether an isolate is likely to represent a new species in the
genus Amycolatopsis. In particular a genetic distance of >0.02 between two Amycolatopsis strains (based on a 315 bp variable region of the gyrB gene) is proposed to provide a good indication that they belong to different species (and that polyphasic taxonomic characterization
of the unknown strain is worth undertaking).

The effect of feeding Lactobacillus fermentum I5007 on the immune system of weaned pigs with or without E. coli challenge was determined. Twenty-four weaned barrows (6.07 ± 0.63 kg BW) were randomly assigned to one of four treatments
(N = 6) in a factorial design experiment. The first two treatments consisted of healthy piglets with half of the pigs receiving
no treatment while the other half was orally administered with L. fermentum I5007 (108 CFU/ml) at a daily dose of 20 ml. Pigs in the second two treatments were challenged on the first day with 20 ml of E. coli K88ac (108 CFU/ml). Half of these pigs were not treated while the remaining pigs were treated with 20 ml of L. fermentum I5007 (108 CFU/ml). Peripheral blood lymphocytes subsets were determined using flow cytometry. The intestinal mucosal immunity of the
pigs was monitored by real time polymerase chain reaction. The cytokine content of the pig’s serum was also analyzed. Oral
administration of L. fermentum I5007 increased blood CD4+ lymphocyte subset percentage as well as tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ expression in the ileum. Pigs challenged
with E. coli had elevated jejunal tumor necrosis factor-α while interferon-γ expression was increased throughout the small intestine.
There was no difference in the concentration of the cytokines interleukin-2, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ
in the serum. CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ in peripheral blood were not affected by treatment. In conclusion, L. fermentum I5007 can enhance T cell differentiation and induce ileum cytokine expression suggesting that this probiotic strain could
modulate immune function in piglets. 相似文献

A general in vitro cloning system was established for four Helleborus species: H. argutifolius, H. foetidus, H. niger and H. orientalis. The plant material was introduced in vitro from axillary buds. A Murashige and Skoog (MS)—based medium (Murashige and Skoog
1962) was used supplemented with 2% (w/v) sucrose, 2-isopentenyladenine (2-iP) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). Multiplication
rates depended on the genotype and varied from 1.3 for H. foetidus till 3.8 for H. niger. The first results showed that the rooting phase could be done ex vitro. Rooting was induced by a drench for one week in
a solution of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA -3 mg l−1) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA-1 mg l−1) at 5°C. 相似文献

Capsicum chinense is a recalcitrant species for in vitro morphogenesis, and up to date there is no efficient system for genetic transformation
and regeneration of this species via somatic embryogenesis. Here, we carried out an in vitro transformation of C. chinense via Agrobacterium tumefaciens co-cultivation with a system that expresses the heterologous gene WUSCHEL from Arabidopsis thaliana. WUSCHEL has been shown to promote the transition from vegetative to embryogenic state when overexpressed. We tested if the expression
of WUSCHEL in C. chinense would promote an embryogenic response in this species. After 15 days of induction, the segments of transformed stems begun
to form globular structures, suggesting that heterologus WUSCHEL was active and involved in the process of morphogenesis. 相似文献
