球形芽孢杆菌LP1-G的发酵特性及杀蚊活性*

球形芽孢杆菌（Ｂａｃｉｌｌｕｓ ｓｐｈａｅｒｉｃｕｓ）ＬＰ１－Ｇ菌株在ＭＢＳ培养基上能正常生长、发育,产生位于芽孢孢外膜外的伴孢晶体。其产生的４１．９和５１．２ｋＤ二元毒素蛋白合成于芽孢形成期,另一分子量约为４９ｋＤ蛋白和二元毒素同期合成,并随着芽孢的释放而被降解。生物测定结果表明该菌株在营养体生长阶段对致倦库蚊幼虫无毒,孢子囊初期毒力较高,并在整个芽孢形成期都维持较高的毒力水平。其全发酵液对敏感和抗性库蚊幼虫都具有中等的毒杀作用,对３～４龄幼虫４８ｈ的ＬＣ_５０。值分别为０．１１３和０．１

新加坡分离到五株新的灭蚊球形芽孢杆菌。这些菌株都属于噬菌体８组,具有双毒素（５１．４＋４１．９ｋＤａ）基因,位于染色体上,但缺乏一个１００—ｋＤａ毒素基因。这些球孢菌组成了一个新的亚群,在噬菌体８组中仅有２株弱毒菌株已有论述,而在已知的全部高毒菌株都含有双毒素和１００－ｋＤａ毒素两种基因。     

含二元毒素基因的苏云金杆菌重组子晶体蛋白分析及其对蚊幼虫的毒性

通过电转化方法将含球形芽孢杆菌（Bacillussphaericus简称B.s)二元毒素基因的重组质粒pCW2转化野生型苏云金杆菌以色列亚种（B．thuringiensissubsp.israelensis简称B．t．i）,获得一株含二元毒素基因的重组菌株B＋CW-1。重组菌株能表达二元毒素及δ-内毒素和CytA毒素,并形成2类位于芽孢孢外膜外的伴孢晶体。B＋CW-1对伊蚊（Aedes）、按蚊（Anopheles）和抗性库蚊（Culex）的毒力明显高于B．s,同时也略高产B.t.i菌株,但其杀蚊谱和杀活性水平同B．t．i相似。未发现二元毒素同B．t．i毒素间的协同作用。     

球形芽孢杆菌C_3－41对致倦库蚊的毒效及在蚊体内的再循环

球形芽抱杆菌Ｃ３－４１菌株（Ｂａｃｉｌｌｕｓｓｐｈａｅｒｉｃｕｓ　Ｃ３－４１）对致倦库蚊（Ｃｕｌｅｘｑｕｉｎｑｕｅｆａ－ｓｃｉａｔｕｓ）幼虫有很高毒效,对２龄和３—４龄幼虫的半致死剂量（ＬＤ５０）分别为６３．１和８９．７芽孢／蚊幼虫。处理浓度越高,取食时间越长,蚊幼虫取食到的杀蚊活性物质量越多,死亡率越高。当蚊幼虫取食互致死剂量杀蚊活性物质后,球形芽孢杆菌在感染的活幼虫体内不增殖;但当蚊幼虫取食致死剂量杀蚊活性物质后,蚊幼死亡,球形芽抱杆菌在死蚊幼虫体内增殖明显,６天内芽抱从感染初期的１．８６×１０２／蚊幼虫增加到１．５９×１０６／蚊幼虫。芽抱在死蚊幼虫体内能正常荫发、生长、产孢和形成毒素。增殖的芽抱同样对致倦库蚊幼虫有较高毒力。

Embryo and Endosperm Function and Failure inSolanumSpecies and Hybrids

Although the importance of the endosperm as a food store inmany angiosperm seeds is well known, its significance duringearly embryogenesis has been neglected. In many interspecifichybrids, and in some other situations, embryos do not developfully and abort. It has often been stated that this is causedby the endosperm failing to conduct sufficient nutrients tothe embryo, but seldom has it been suggested that the endospermactively controls most of the early stages of morphogenesisof the embryo. Information gleaned from a broad survey of theliterature, combined with additional evidence presented here,obtained fromSolanum incanumand interspecific hybrids, indicatethat the endosperm is dynamic and very active in regulatingearly embryo development. This requires highly integrated geneticcontrol of rapidly changing metabolism in the endosperm. Ininterspecific hybrids, lack of coordination may cause unbalancedproduction of growth regulating substances by the endospermand hence abortion of the embryo, or even unregulated productionof nucleases and proteases resulting firstly in autolysis ofthe endosperm and then digestion of the embryo. The endospermmay thus serve to detect inappropriate hybridization of speciesor ploidy levels and so prevent waste of resources by producingseeds that would result in sterile hybrids or unthrifty subsequentgenerations.

HIFs and tumors--causes and consequences

For most organisms oxygen is essential fo life. When oxygen levels drop below those required to maintain the minimum physiological oxygen requirement of an organism or tissue it is termed hypoxia. To counter act possible deleterious effects of such a state, an immediate molecular response is initiated causing adaptation responses aimed at cell survival. This response is mediated by the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha- and a beta-subunit. HIF-1 alpha protein is stabilized under hypoxic conditions and therefore confers selectivity to this response. Hypoxia is characteristic of tumors, mainly because of impaired blood supply resulting from abnormal growth. Over the past few years enormous progress has been made in the attempt to understand how the activation of the physiological response to hypoxia influences neoplastic growth. In this review some aspects of HIF-1 pathway activation in tumors and the consequences for pathophysiology and treatment of neoplasia are discussed.

Morphological and constitutional features and self-esteem in children and adolescents

Studies of human constitution and mental features are traditionally among the main concepts of anthropological research. In this research, we attempted to discover connections between morphological and constitutional features and self-esteem in children and adolescents. Such a connection was discovered in some studied age groups. The obtained results could serve as a basis for further studies in this field.
