Growth rate estimates () of phytoplankton populations that were sampled from nitrogen-limited continuous cultures and then incubated for short durations in batch culture with added14C-HCO3 were significantly different than steady-state growth rates () for 3 of 5 marine phytoplankton species. Two diatoms,Thalassiosira weissflogii andChaetoceros simplex, displayed virtually identical growth rates (=) over a wide range of, whereas for a third diatom,Phaeodactylum tricornutum, was overestimated by an average of 40% compared to. In contrast, was underestimated by the14C technique for the two remaining species: up to 40% at a steady-state of 1.0 day–1 for the chlorophyteDunaliella tertiolecta and up to 100% at of 1.4 day–1 for the haptophytePavlova lutheri. For the latter two species the divergence between and appeared to increase with increasing steady-state. A simple model of labeled and total carbon flow between the aqueous phase and cellular biomass was constructed to demonstrate that respiration was negligible when=, but was significant when>. In the cases in which<, a rapid physiological alteration presumably took place once the steady state was disturbed and cells were placed in the incubation chambers, which perhaps was related to the nutritional state of the cultures at the time of sampling. Questions thus are raised regarding our ability to measure accurately primary productivity from shipboard experiments with confined samples of phytoplankton from nutrient-impoverished waters that probably are less hardy than the laboratory cultures used in these studies.  相似文献

Transitions in growth irradiance level from 92 to 7 Em-2 s-1 and vice versa caused changes in the pigment contents and photosynthesis of Oscillatoria agardhii. The changes in chlorophyll a and C-phycocyanin contents during the transition from high to low irradiance (HL) were reflected in photosynthetic parameters. In the LH transition light utilization efficiencies of the cells changed faster than pigment contents. This appeared to be related to the lowering of light utilization efficiencies of photosynthesis. As a possible explanation it was hypothesized that excess photosynthate production led to feed back inhibition of photosynthesis. Time-scales of changes in the maximal rate of O2 evolution were discussed as changes in the number of reaction centers of photosystem II in relation to photosynthetic electron transport. Parameters that were subject to change during irradiance transitions obeyed first order kinetics, but hysteresis occurred when comparing HL with LH transients. Interpretation of first order kinetic analysis was discussed in terms of adaptive response vs changes in growth rate.Non-standard abbreviations Chla chlorophyll a - CPC C-phycocyanin - PS II photosystem II - PS I photosystem I - RC II reaction center of photosystem II - P photosynthetic O2-evolution - I irradiance, Em-2 s-1 - light utilization efficiency of cells, mmol O2·mg dry wt-1·h-1/Em-2 s-1 - light utilization efficiency of photosynthetic apparatus, mol O2·mol Chla -1·h-1/Em-2 s-1 - Pmax maximal rate of O2 evolution by cells, mol O2·mg dry wt-1·h-1 - Pmax maximal rate of O2 evolution by photosynthetic apparatus, mol O2·mol·Chla -1·h-1 - LL low light, E m-2 s-1 - HL high light, E m-2 s-1 - LH low to high light transition - HL high to low light transition - k specific rate of adaptation, h-1 - specific growth rate, h-1 - Q pool size of cell constituent, mol·mg dry wt-1 - q net synthesis rate of cell constituent, mol·mg dry wt-1·h-1  相似文献

Development of an L6 myoblast in vitro model of moniliformin toxicosis   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
L6 myoblasts were used as an in vitro model to investigate the role of moniliformin and its interaction with monensin in turkey knockdown syndrome and sudden death syndromes in poultry. Cell viability and microscopic and ultrastructural alterations noted in L6 myoblasts cultured in the presence of moniliformin (0.0–0.3 g/l) were compared to those observed in parallel cultures also containing one of the following compounds: selenium (0–0.004 ng/l), thiamine (0–0.3 g/l), or pyruvate (0–0.46 g/l). Marked dilation of the RER, membranous whorls, glycogen deposition, membrane-bound cytoplasmic inclusions and necrosis were observed in myoblasts exposed to 0.03/2-0.30 g moniliformin/l medium. Supplementation of medium with thiamine and pyruvate, or selenium, provided significant protection to cells exposed to 0.0–0.3 g/l or 0.0–0.15 g moniliformin/l, respectively. Dose-dependent differences in protein and ATP production were not detected. Myoblasts grown in medium containing 0–0.15 g moniliformin/l and 7.5–50.0 M A23187, beauvericin or monensin had degrees of cytotoxicity similar to parallel cultures receiving only an ionophore. L6 myoblasts were a useful model of moniliformin toxicosis. The findings of this study suggest cytotoxicity due to moniliformin in L6 myoblasts may be due in part to oxidative damage and altered pyruvate metabolism, and that moniliformin does not predispose myoblasts to ionophore toxicosis. This study supports the results of in vivo investigations in poultry that moniliformin and monensin do not act synergistically to induce knockdown or monensin toxicosis.  相似文献

Summary The total pigment and astaxanthin content ofPhaffia rhodozyma increased with increasing concentrations -pinene up to 500 l -pinene/l. Above this concentration the total pigment and astaxanthin content as well as the biomass production decreased. The addition of 500 l -pinene/l increased the total pigment content from 1652 g/g to 2201 g/g and the astaxanthin content from 1554 g/g to 1883 g/g. A sharp decrease in maximum specific growth rate occurred above 150 l -pinene/l.  相似文献

In order to maintain axenic seedstock cultures axenically of thecommercially important red seaweed, Porphyra yezoensis, aprocedure was developed for axenic isolation and culture of conchocelis andmonospores. For axenic isolation of the conchocelis, contaminated microalgaewere most effectively removed by filtering contaminated samples through a100-m mesh after sonication. Removal of bacteria and otheralgaewas accomplished using a mixture of 5 agents (0.02% chitosan, 100 gml–1 GeO2, 10 gml–1 ampicillin, 40 gml–1 kanamycin and 200 gml–1 streptomycin). Axenic single colonies wereisolatedfrom a semi-solid medium prepared from 1% transfer gel. After collectingmonospores from the 40–50% density layer on a percoll-gradient, removalofbacteria and fungi from the monospores was accomplished using a mixture of 5antibiotics (3.5 g ml–1 nystatin, 2 mgml–1 ampicillin, 400 gml–1 kanamycin, 50 gml–1 neomycin and 800 gml–1 streptomycin). Axenic single juvenile blades wereisolated from a semi-solid medium prepared from 0.5% transfer gel.  相似文献

To assess the role interleukins and mitogens play in regulating immunoglobulin (Ig) gene expression via the Ig enhancer and promoter, transgenic mice carrying two different Ig gene regulatory regions were generated. One, EkCAT, contains the Ig heavy chain enhancer (E) and the light chain promoter driving the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene. In the other, EkCAT, CAT is under the control of the promoter alone. E and relative activity were assessed by CAT assay. In EkCAT mice, low CAT expression was consistently found in spleen, bone marrow, mesenteric lymph node, and thymus but not in brain, lung, or kidney. In EkCAT mice, CAT expression was detectable just above background in lymphoid tissues, suggesting a basic level of tissue specificity in the absence of the enhancer. Whole spleen cell cultures prepared from the mice were treated with lymphokines and mitogens. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), concanavilin A (Con A), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interferon- (IFN-) increased CAT expression to varying extents in cells derived from EkCAT mice but not in spleen cells prepared from EkCAT mice. Thus, the presence of E, in addition to the promoter, is essential for the stimulation of CAT expression mediated by these factors. B cells from EkCAT mice were separated by density into populations of small and large cells. In untreated small B cells, no CAT expression was detected and only addition of LPS resulted in an increase in CAT expression. In large B cells, CAT was expressed at a low level without addition of exogenous factors. Incubation with LPS, IL-6, Con A and IFN- caused CAT expression to increase several-fold. This transgenic system provides a means to identify exogenous factors that activate Ig enhancers and promoters.This work has been submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the doctoral degree from the George Washington University.  相似文献

At high growth rates, the biomass yield of bakers yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) decreases due to the production of ethanol. For this reason, it is standard industrial practice to use a fed-batch process whereby the specific growth rate, , is fixed at a level below the point of ethanol production, i.e., crit. Optimally, growth should be maintained at crit, but in practice, this is difficult because crit is dependent upon strain and culture conditions. In this work, growth was maintained at a point just above crit by regulating ethanol concentration in the bioreactor. The models used for control design are shown, as are the experimental results obtained when this strategy was implemented. This technique should be applicable to all microorganisms that exhibit an overflow type metabolism.  相似文献

DNA molecules from lysates of microsporocytes at different stages of meiosis of Lilium longiflorum were examined in the electron microscope. In all of the preparations, only linear (non-circular) molecules were found. They had a mean length of between 59 and 75 , and a range of lengths which varied from 1 to 115 , to 1 to 210 . From the data obtained, there was no indication of a change in molecular form or size of DNA molecules associated with the process of meiosis.  相似文献

In vitro plant regeneration was achieved inCapsicum praetermissum, C. baccatum andC. annuum cvs. G4, Bhiwapuri Sweet pepper, Cayenne pepper and Hybrid pepper. Shoots were induced from hypocotyl, cotyledon and leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 5.7 M indoleacetic acid (IAA)+13.3 M benzyladenine (BA); 22 M BA; and 44 M BA. Analysis of variance revealed that the most significant effect on shoot regeneration was due to the explant and it accounted for 56.3% of total variation observed. The genotype x explant effect on regeneration was minor relative to all other 2- and 3-way interactions because leaf explants consistently regenerated more shoots than hypocotyls or cotyledons in all the genotypes and thereby reduced the variation among the genotypes. Explant x medium interaction revealed that 22 M BA was the best growth regulator supplement in regeneration medium for optimal shoot regeneration from leaf explants. Rooting of regenerated shoots was achieved on 5.7 M IAA-containing medium, and the rooting response was better from shoots induced on medium fortified with 5.7 M IAA plus 13.3 M BA. Complete plantlets with diploid chromosome number (2n=2x=24) were transferred to soil and 60–70% of these plantlets survived and grew well.  相似文献

Chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori causes peptic ulcers, gastric cancer and lymphoma. We evaluated the inhibitory effects of the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1J, the antibiotic clarithromycin and the natural antioxidants garcinol and Protykin® (containing 50% trans-resveratrol) on Helicobacter pylori strain ATCC 49503. The findings of this study indicate that Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1J exerts a growth inhibitory effect on H. pylori at a ratio of 1:1 or higher in vitro. In the case of clarithromycin, garcinol and resveratrol, the bactericidal effect is time and concentration dependent. Clarithromycin completely inhibited growth at 62.5 g/ml at 6 h and at 31.5 g/ml at 12 h. For garcinol the highest concentration needed for complete inhibition was 31.5 g/ml at 6 h and 3.9 g/ml after 12 h incubation. For resveratrol, significant inhibition was noted at 1000 g/ml at 12 h only. The bactericidal effect of garcinol was reduced by the addition of resveratrol at all concentrations 125 g/ml at 6 and 12 h. We conclude from this study that Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1J inhibits H. pylori at 1:1 and higher ratios. Also, between the two antioxidants, garcinol is much more potent than resveratrol as a bactericidal agent against H. pylori, and that resveratrol may antagonize this effect. Finally, our study showed equivalent or better bactericidal activity of garcinol compared to clarithromycin against H. pylori at 6 and 12 h incubation, indicating a potential role for this antioxidant in treatment for H. pylori infection.  相似文献

Summary Respiration of an undescribed species of soil nematode of the genus Chiloplacus from the Canadian High Arctic was measured at 2°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20° and 25°C. The corresponding metabolic rates were 0.2697×10-3 l, 0.3406×10-3 l, 0.8408×10-3 l, 0.8539×10-3 l, 1.8420×10-3 l and 2.9360×10-3 l O2 ind-1 h-1, respectively, for a nematode of 1.0 g dry weight. The relationship between respiration and dry weight for Chiloplacus sp. at 10°C is described by the function log R=-3.0693+0.8844 log W. Q10 values for the 2°–5°, 5°–10°, 10°–15°, 15°–20° and 20°–25°C temperature intervals were 2.18, 6.09, 1.03, 4.65 and 2.54, respectively. Chiloplacus sp. showed raised metabolic rates at low tempetatures compared with species from warmer environments. Metabolic rates of representative samples of the soil, nematode fauna (dominated by individuals of the genus Plectus) from the same location were 0.1593×10-3 l, 0.3603×10-3 l and 0.5332×10-3 l O2 ind-1 h-1 at 5°, 10° and 15°C for an average nematode of 0.4297 g dry weight.  相似文献

Feeding in the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Summary The laboratory feeding behavior of Brachionus calyciflorus varies depending upon the type of food cell available in suspension. When feeding on the yeast Rhodotorula glutinis, rotifers show a continuous increase in ingestion with increased cell density between 0.01 and 1000 g dry weight ml-1. Effective clearance rates drop from ca. 50 l animal-1 h-1 to less than 0.5 l animal-1 h-1 over this food density range. When feeding on Englena gracilis, B. calyciflorus ingestion rates are constant between 1.0 and 100 g ml-1 of available food, averaging close to 25 ng animal-1 h-1. The decrease in clearance rate is more striking than with R. glutinis, dropping from 45 l animal-1 h-1 at 0.1 g ml-1 to 0.13 l animal-1 h-1 at 100 g ml-1. Differences between the patterns obtained with the two food types indicate fundamental dissimilarities in the feeding behavior of this rotifer species when presented with these different foods.  相似文献

Circular and linear structures in chromatin diminution of Cyclops   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Sigrid Beermann 《Chromosoma》1984,89(5):321-328
In confirmation of earlier findings, surface-spread early diminution stages of Cyclops furcifer and C. divulsus yield numerous chromatin rings formed by the 25-to 30-nm type of fiber. Their contour lengths have a range of 0.6 16 m in C. divulsus and 0.4–40 m in C. furcifer. Employing the Miller spreading technique nucleosomal chromatin rings were detected in the critical stages of diminution in a size range of 0.6–100 m, though in lower frequencies. Instead, linear fragments of nucleosomal chromatin were found in numbers equal to or surpassing that of the rings.  相似文献

Summary We have investigated muscarinic receptor-operated Ca2+ mobilization in a salivary epithelial cell line, HSG-PA, using an experimental approach which allows independent evaluation of intracellular Ca2+ release and extracellular Ca2+ entry. The carbachol (Cch) dose response of intracellular Ca2+ release indicates the involvement of a single, relatively low-affinity, muscarinic receptor site (K 0.510 or 30 m, depending on the method for [Ca2+] i determination). However, similar data for Ca2+ entry indicate the involvement of two Cch sites, one consistent with that associated with Ca2+ release and a second higher affinity site withK 0.52.5 m. In addition, the Ca2+ entry response observed at lower concentrations of Cch (2.5 m) was completely inhibited by membrane depolarization induced with high K+ (>55mm) or gramicidin D (1 m), while membrane depolarization had little or no effect on Ca2+ entry induced by 100 m Cch. Another muscarinic agonist, oxotremorine-M (100 m; Oxo-M), like Cch, also induced an increase in the [Ca2+] i of HSG-PA cells (from 72±2 to 104±5nm). This response was profoundly blocked (75%) by the inorganic Ca2+ channel blocker La3+ (25–50 m) suggesting that Oxo-M primarily mobilizes Ca2+ in these cells by increasing Ca2+ entry. Organic Ca2+ channel blockers (verapamil or diltiazem at 10 m, nifedipine at 1 m), had no effect on this response. The Oxo-M induced Ca2+ mobilization response, like that observed at lower doses of Cch, was markedly inhibited (70–90%) by membrane depolarization (high K+ or gramicidin D). At 100 m Cch the formation of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) was increased 55% above basal levels. A low concentration of carbachol (1 m) elicited a smaller change in IP3 formation (25%), similar to that seen with 100 m Oxo-M (20%). Taken together, these results suggest that there are two modes of muscarinic receptor-induced Ca2+ entry in HSG-PA cells. One is associated with IP3 formation and intracellular Ca2+ release and is independent of membrane potential; the other is less dependent on IP3 formation and intracellular Ca2+ release and is modulated by membrane potential. This latter pathway may exhibit voltage-dependent gating.  相似文献

A protocol for organogenesis from nucellar explants excised from fertilized ovules of immature fruits of Aegle marmelos Corr. was developed. Adventitious buds were initiated on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing various combinations of 6-benzyladenine (BA), -naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA), 3-indoleacetic acid and gibberellic acid. Medium containing 4.4 m BA and 2.7 M NAA produced the maximum number of adventitious buds per explant. Shoots were elongated by transferring explants with shoot buds to medium with a low concentration of BA (0.44 M). Rooting of in vitro-regenerated shoots was obtained in half-strength MS medium with 4.9 M indole-3-butyric acid. This is the first report of plant regeneration from nucellar explants of A. marmelos.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - IAA indoleacetic acid - IBA indolebutyric acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - GA3 gibberellic acid  相似文献

-Glucuronidase from callus cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi was purified to apparent homogeneity by fractionated ammonium-sulfate precipitation and chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose, hydroxylapatite and baicalin-conjugated Sepharose 6B. A 650-fold purification was obtained by this purification system. When subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the purified protein migrated as a single band with a molecular mass of 55 kDa. We determined that the native enzyme has a molecular mass of 230 kDa using gel-filtration chromatography. These results suggested that the enzyme exists as a homotetramer composed of four identical 55-kDa subunits. The enzyme showed a broad pH optimum between 7.0 and 8.0. The K m values were 9 M, 10 M, 30 M and 40 M for luteolin 3 -O--d-glucuronide, baicalin, wogonin 7-O--d-glucoronide and oroxlin 7-O--d-glucuronide, respectively. The enzyme was most active with flavone 7-O--d-glucuronides.Abbreviations BA N6-benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - pI isoelectric point - R t retention time  相似文献

The response of internal phosphorus concentration, cluster-root initiation, and growth and carboxylate exudation to different external P supplies was investigated in Hakea prostrata R.Br. using a split-root design. After removal of most of the taproot, equal amounts of laterals were allowed to grow in two separate pots fastened together at the top, so that the separate root halves could be exposed to different conditions. Plants were grown for 10 weeks in this system; one root half was supplied with 1 M P while the other halves were supplied with 0, 1, 25 or 75 M P. Higher concentrations of P supplied to one root half significantly increased the P concentration of those roots and in the shoots. The P concentrations in root halves supplied with 1 M P were invariably low, regardless of the P concentration supplied to the other root half. Cluster root initiation was completely suppressed on root halves supplied with 25 or 75 M P, whereas it continued on the other halves supplied with 1 M P indicating that cluster-root initiation was regulated by local root P concentration. Cluster-root growth (dry mass increment) on root halves supplied with 1 M P was significantly reduced when the other half was either deprived of P or supplied with 25 or 75 M P. Cluster-root growth was favoured by a low shoot P status at a root P supply that was adequate for increased growth of roots and shoots without increased tissue P concentrations. The differences in cluster-root growth on root halves with the same P supply suggest that decreased cluster-root growth was systemically regulated. Carboxylate-exudation rates from cluster roots on root halves supplied with 1 M P were the same, whether the other root half was supplied with 1, 25 or 75 M P, but were approximately 30 times faster when the other half was deprived of P. Estimates of root P-uptake rates suggest a rather limited capacity for down-regulating P uptake when phosphate was readily available.  相似文献
