水霉拮抗菌的筛选与拮抗物特点初步分析

水霉病是淡水和咸淡水鱼类被水霉菌感染引起的常见疾病。该研究从多个养殖水体中分离得到6株水霉拮抗菌,SZK15、XL03、TG08、DJ12、HD05和DS08,以SZK15的拮抗作用最强。对SZK15研究发现,在PDA平板上,其对水霉菌丝抑制距离为11.5 mm,对水霉孢子抑制圈直径为29.7 mm,其10倍浓缩的无细胞发酵液的抑水霉菌圈直径达30.2 mm;在液体培养条件下,SZK15无细胞发酵原液能完全抑制水霉菌丝和孢子的萌发生长,其5倍稀释液中,水霉菌丝生长受抑制而长度稳定在2.0 mm,有30%的孢子萌发,且萌发后菌丝受抑制而未形成菌丝网,其10倍稀释液中水霉菌丝生长慢于对照组。SZK15分泌的拮抗活性物质对121℃高温敏感,对80℃、100℃高温、蛋白酶K和胰蛋白酶均部分敏感。本研究为水霉病害的生物防治提供了潜在新途径。     

山东半岛南部产卵场温跃层对鳀鱼鱼卵垂直分布的作用

2000～2004年5～7月"北斗"号生物资源调查船对山东半岛南部产卵场进行多学科综合调查期间,于2003年6月17～18日和6月27～30日分别在35°01.9′N、120°32.9′E海区和35°03.3′N、120°26.4′E海区进行了25 h和64 h的水团追踪观测调查,鳀鱼鱼卵的数量、垂直分布与水温的分布为重点调查内容.调查结果表明:水温垂直分布的变化、海水混合的强弱、水体的辐聚/辐散等物理过程对水体中鳀鱼鱼卵数量和鳀鱼鱼卵在不同水层的分布有很大影响.温跃层分布深度的波动引起水体的垂直交换(混合)、水平对流(辐聚/辐散)和跨跃层的物质交换.温跃层深度变浅时,上混合层水体的厚度变薄,跨跃层的向上混合,将下混合层水体中和温跃层中的鳀鱼鱼卵输运到温跃层和上混合层中,同时表层水体发生辐散现象,使得下混合层、温跃层和上混合层水体中鳀鱼鱼卵数量减少、密度减小,导致整个水柱内鳀鱼鱼卵的数量减少;温跃层深度加深时,上混合层水体的厚度增加,跨跃层的向下混合,将上混合层水体中和温跃层中的鳀鱼鱼卵输运到温跃层和下混合层水体中,同时表层水体发生辐聚现象,使得上混合层、温跃层和下混合层水体中的鳀鱼鱼卵数量增多、密度增大,导致整个水柱内鳀鱼鱼卵的数量增多;温跃层水体中鱼卵数量和密度的变化较上混合层和下混合层水体更为显著.水体中温跃层的存在、温跃层分布深度的波动及其波动的程度对上混合层和温跃层中鳀鱼鱼卵的数量和密度的变化起着主导作用,导致鳀鱼鱼卵数量垂直分布的剧烈变化.

澜沧江两条支流捕食线虫真菌水陆分布差异及关联性

为探究微生物在流域中的水、陆分布差异和相互关系,对澜沧江两条支流捕食线虫真菌多样性水陆分布进行了调查研究。在枯水期,以澜沧江一级支流沘江和黑惠江为研究区域,系统布设12个采样点(水流交汇点),每个采样点采集水、陆对称样品各5份,共采集土样120份。结合传统分离纯化、形态学及分子生物学方法筛选和鉴定菌株,按照《Nematode-Trapping Fungi》进行分类,共获得2属13种88株捕食线虫真菌;其中,陆地样品中共分离到2属11种45株,水体底泥中分离出1属10种43株,检出率分别为41.67%和53.33%。结果表明,澜沧江两条支流捕食线虫真菌在物种、属、群落结构3个层面上均存在水陆差异,也相互联系;陆地土壤可能是流域内捕食线虫真菌多样性的源,水流是其重要的传播因子。在流域生态系统内,水陆间的扩散限制和水流的连通性都是维持微生物物种多样性的重要机制。     

Evaluation of recovery methods to detect faecal streptococci in polluted waters

AIMS: This paper compares the faecal streptococci count on 25 samples of polluted waters obtained with three techniques: most probable number (MPN), membrane filtration (MF) and pour plate (PP) methods. Although the PP method is a simple technique, familiar to water bacteriologists, it is not recommended in the international methods. METHODS AND RESULTS: For the MPN method, azide dextrose broth and ethyl violet azide broth were employed. For the MF technique, Millipore filters were placed onto azide maltose agar (KF agar), while for the PP method, 1 ml of a decimal water dilution was added to (Kennel Faecal) KF medium. Regression analysis and Friedman's ANOVA were performed to determine the relationship between faecal streptococci counts obtained with the three techniques. Statistical analysis of the results showed that the MPN, MF and PP techniques were equally valid with respect to faecal streptococci enumeration in polluted waters. CONCLUSION: Since the PP method was found to be as good as the other techniques, it may be preferred in polluted waters. It is more economical in terms of both time and materials than the MPN count, and it is as accurate as the MF count. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study indicates that the PP method, although not recommended internationally, is a reliable alternative to MF and MPN.     

Agar Plate Method for Detection and Enumeration of Alkylbenzenesulfonate-Degrading Microorganisms

A simple method for detection and enumeration of alkylbenzenesulfonate (ABS)-degrading microorganisms by using agar plates was developed and used in microbiological studies of coastal marine and polluted river waters. The method depends upon the color responses of neutral red in alkaline medium. Neutral red changes from pink, when it enters into ABS micelles, to yellow, when the ABS is degraded, and does not form micelles. When neutral red-tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane buffer solution and then cationic surfactant solution were sprayed onto the agar surface of ABS-nutrient agar cultures, transparent haloes appeared around the colonies of ABS-degrading microorganisms against a pink background. Viable counts of ABS-degrading bacteria isolated from both seawater and freshwater environments were considerably higher in polluted waters than in less polluted areas. Viable counts of ABS-degrading bacteria averaged 1.5 x 105/ml in samples from the surface water of polluted Tokyo Bay and 3.0 x 104/ml in samples from the surface water of polluted Tamagawa River but were fewer in number in samples from less polluted waters.     

Estuarine microplankton: An experimental approach in combination with field studies

In the natural environment, seasonal climatic changes have the dominant effect on phytoplankton productivity. Salinity effects in estuarine habitats are, however, probably equally important but cannot usually be separated from seasonality. The use of microcosms allows the salinity effect to be studied independent of seasonality.Results of a year-long field study in the Fraser River estuary, British Columbia, Canada, are presented and compared with results of laboratory experiments. In a series of flasks (201 volume), natural low and high salinity waters were mixed in order to give salinities of ? 5, 10, 18, and ? 26%.. The mixed waters were enriched so as to simulate the entrainment of nutrient-rich, saline water in a salt wedge estuary. A distinct pattern of autotrophic and heterotrophic growth developed resembling natural events in the Fraser River estuary during the period between winter and late spring. The salinity values influenced the microplankton ecology with respect to phytoplankton species composition and total biomass. Despite seasonal variability of the source waters, the simulated spring bloom was reproducible under constant laboratory conditions, thus allowing the continued performance of experiments.The microcosms were useful in simulating natural events as well as in testing the impact of natural and man-made perturbations. In the experiments presented, naturally occurring perturbations had a much greater impact on estuarine ecology than addition of anthropogenic pollutants in concentrations much higher than known to occur in moderately polluted estuaries.     

福建北部近海浮游动物数量分布与水团季节变化的关系

根据2015—2016年在福建北部近海水域(120.10°E—120.65°E, 26.35°N—27.07°N)夏、秋、冬、春4个季节的海洋生态调查资料, 探讨了该水域浮游动物的数量分布、季节变化及其与水团变化的关系。结果表明, 调查水域浮游动物的平均生物量依次是: 夏季(479.51 mg/m3)>秋季(257.37 mg/m3)>春季(241.86 mg/m3)>冬季(84.05 mg/m3), 平均丰度依次是: 夏季(156.36 ind./m3)>春季(91.57 ind./m3)>秋季(40.34 ind./m3)>冬季(21.82 ind./m3), 生物量和丰度均值都呈现出夏季、秋季到冬季依次减少, 春季增多的趋势, 不同的是秋季生物量均值高于春季, 而丰度均值低于春季。在夏、冬和春三季, 浮游动物的总生物量和总丰度的分布总体较为一致; 而在秋季, 浮游动物的总生物量和总丰度的分布几乎相反。百陶箭虫(Sagitta bedoti)和微剌哲水蚤(Canthocalanus pauper)是影响夏季总丰度分布最主要的种类; 链钟水母(Desmophyes annectens)是影响秋季总丰度分布最主要的种类; 驼背隆哲水蚤(Acrocalanus gibber)、亚强真哲水蚤(Eucalanus subcrassus)和百陶箭虫对冬季总丰度的分布起到了重要影响; 五角水母(Muggiaea atlantica)和微剌哲水蚤是春季占总丰度比例较高的种类。浮游动物数量各季不同分布模式的根本原因是台湾暖流和浙闽沿岸流水团的季节性变化所致。研究结果不仅对了解与评价区域海洋生态系统动态和生物多样性变化具有重要的理论意义, 而且还可以丰富我国近海水域浮游动物的生态特征与水团变化之间的关系。     

The influence of organic ligands on the growth of phytoplankton in the northwest African upwelling region

Chelation bioassays were conducted off the coast of northwestAfrica during two seasons. The first (winter) was characterizedby strong shelf-break upwelling and the second (spring) wascharacterized by upwelling closer to shore. Phytoplankton insamples taken from surface waters during winter showed a markedstimulation in growth upon addition of the artificial chelatorEDTA. Optimal concentrations of the ligand were 10^–6 M.No stimulation was observed during upwelling conditions encounteredin the spring. Primary productivity in the winter season wassignificantly lower than in the spring, averaging only 35% ofthe spring rates. Ionic copper additions reduced growth in phytoplanktonassayed in the spring and the growth reductions were eliminatedby addition of EDTA. It is hypothesized that the winter growthdepression resulted from either (1) a lack of organic compoundscapable of binding ionic copper as a result of either a lackof organic input from the sediments or surface waters becauseof direct advection to the surface, or by (2) the upwellingof water from a ligand-deficient water mass whose relative importanceas a source for newly upwelled water declined and disappearedas the season progressed.     

Detection of Helicobacter pylori DNA in human faeces and water with different levels of faecal pollution in the north-east of Spain

AIMS: To assess the role of water in the faecal transmission of Helicobacter pylori by detecting the DNA of this pathogen in human faecal samples and environmental water samples with a range of faecal pollution from the north-east of Spain. METHODS AND RESULTS: Semi-nested PCR was used to detect H. pylori in stools and water, both matrices with a complex biota. DNA was detected using highly specific primers of an ureA gene fragment. In addition, antigens were used to detect the bacteria in stools. Helicobacter pylori was detected in 33% of 36 human faecal samples and in 66% of wastewater samples, and 11% of river samples, but in none of the spring waters samples. Faecal pollution of the aquatic environment was tested analysing the presence of microbial indicators. CONCLUSIONS: We report the presence of H. pylori DNA in stools and in aquatic environments with different levels of faecal pollution, from the north-east of Spain. In this study a higher number of positive results were obtained in the more faecally polluted waters. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: These data indicate that water may be a vector of H. pylori in its faecal-oral route.     

Primary productivity of the River Ely,South Wales,U.K.

The present study was carried out on the non-tidal reaches of the River Ely, South Wales, from October 1979 to October 1980. The seasonal variations of the chlorophyll-a content of the phytoplankton was unimodal with one maximum in May and a minimum in December. The chlorophyll-a content varied from 0.277 to 41.259 mg m^?3. The primary productivity showed a bimodal seasonal distribution with two maxima in May and September and lower values throughout the remainder of the year, particularly in winter. The value for the primary productivity varied from 0.269 to 24.302 mg C m^?3 h^?1. A positive correlation was obtained between chlorophyll-a content and primary productivity. The seasonal distribution of the dominant algal species and the saprobity of the River Ely were also studied. The diatom species almost showed a similar seasonal periodicity. Their concentrations were low during the winter months and high during most of the spring and summer months. Many of the dominant diatom species found in the phytoplankton populations were either considered by the other authors as saprobic (Nitzchia palea) or as inhabitants of eutrophic waters (Gomphonema parvulum, Navicula cryptocephala and Synedra ulna). Chlamydomonas spp. were the most abundant green algae followed by Chlorella vulgaris. The effect of sewage effluent disposal and cattle excreta at three of the sampling sites might partly explain the presence of high Chlamydomonas spp. populations at those sites. Physical factors (low flow rates, high transparency and water temperature) and organic pollution at some sampling sites seemed to play an important role in increasing the number of algal species during spring and summer. The non-tidal reaches of the River Ely were found to be β-mesosaprobic above and below Station 5 and α-mesosaprobic at the latter station and therefore, the river can be considered as polluted at Station 5 and mildly polluted at the others.     

Relation between Aeromonas and faecal coliforms in fresh waters

A possible correlation between the presence of mesophilic aeromonads and the number of faecal coliforms present in three fresh-water habitats subject to differing levels of faecal pollution was investigated. Concentration of Aeromonas spp. between 10(2)-10(9) cfu/100 ml and faecal coliforms of between 9-10(7) cfu/100 ml were found in the waters. In water free from faecal pollution there was no correlation but in polluted waters there was a significant relationship between the numbers of aeromonads, faecal coliform and the concentration of organic matter measured by biological oxygen demand.     

The reproductive ecology and abundance of Symptevygia bonapavtii endemic to the south-west Atlantic

Logistical ogives gave an estimated L _T50 value (i.e. the total length at which 50% individuals are sexually mature) of 635 mm for female and 650 mm for male Sympterygia bonapartii . Mature individuals of both sexes had significantly larger livers than immature ones and females had a significantly heavier liver than males. Clasper elongation was the first step in male maturation, followed by clasper calcification and the development of alar thorns. In mature females, the right ovary was larger than the left, which was apparently due to differences in stroma tissue. Gonadosomatic index and diameter of ovarian follicles of mature females peaked in late spring and was at a minimum from late summer and through the winter. Juvenile S. bonapartii were more abundant near estuarine areas during winter, and adults appeared in estuaries by late spring and summer. Females carrying egg-cases were found near the shore in late spring and egg-cases were found in benthic samples only in shallow waters suggesting that S. bonapartii deposits egg-cases in shallow waters during late spring-summer and that nursery areas are in outer estuarine zones. In the southern part (38°–42° S) of the study area S. bonapartii showed a strong movement to shallow waters in late spring and summer, spreading over the entire coastal area in winter. These movements are discussed in relation to water temperature and trophic interactions.
