不同来源小球藻对岩溶水Ca2+、HCO3-利用的初步研究

以外源小球藻和岩溶区筛选出的土著小球藻为研究对象, 在封闭体系中比较研究了两种不同来源小球藻对典型岩溶水中Ca2+、HCO3-的利用、藻细胞数量与其对Ca2+、HCO3-的利用率的关系和体系pH的变化。结果表明, 土著小球藻利用Ca2+、HCO3-的能力强于外源小球藻, 但外源小球藻对Ca2+的利用量高于土著小球藻, 而二者对HCO3-的利用量相同, 并且外源小球藻能够以胞外CaCO3形式产生沉淀, 而土著藻则不能形成沉淀。其次两体系中pH的变化显示, 两种小球藻光合作用都是先以水体中CO2为光合作用碳源, 然后利用HCO3-。外源小球藻能将岩溶水中29.648%的HCO3-吸收, 而土著藻能将40.625%的HCO3-通过其在食物链中的初级生产地位将岩溶碳汇转化进入到生态系统, 表现为净碳汇效应。

光合细菌对水产养殖水质和水生生物的影响

研究光合细菌对水产养殖水体的水质,如化学需氧量(COD)、氨氮(NH₄⁺-N)、溶解氧(DO)、pH等指标,及对水生生物,如藻类植物和细菌的种群组成的影响。结果表明:鲤鱼养殖水中投放一定量的光合细菌,能明显去除水中有机物和NH₄⁺-N,增加DO的含量,稳定pH值。光合细菌对水中藻类也有明显影响,0.50%、1%剂量组中藻类明显增加,其中硅藻在所有藻类中所占比例可达26%以上,绿藻所占比例达60%左右,而以蓝藻为主的杂藻则下降到10%左右。光合细菌对有害菌有一定的抑制作用,使得弧菌属、气单胞菌属等致病菌所占比例显著降低。     

沉水植物光合作用的特点与研究进展

沉水植物属于高等植物,由陆生被子植物演化而来,它们在形态、光合生态生理方面对水下生活环境发生了一系列适应性变化。沉水植物的光合作用受水体中光、温度、pH和无机碳等影响,本文对此进行了综述。水中低CO2扩散率以及细胞外较厚的扩散层阻碍了沉水植物净碳的吸收,因此,沉水植物光合作用速率受到无机碳供应的限制。为获得无机碳,沉水植物在形态结构和生理生化上表现一定的特性,包括薄的叶片层并含有叶绿体以及对HCO3-利用的能力,拟C4型和CAM型光合代谢途径的选择。这些是沉水植物碳浓缩机制的具体体现。     

不同类型水生植物群落对蓝绿藻类的抑制作用

选择2种常见水生植物荇菜(Nymphoides peltatum)和黑藻(Hydrilla verticillata),构建了荇菜群落(浮叶植物群落)、黑藻群落(沉水植物群落)和荇菜-黑藻群落(复合群落)等3种不同类型水生植物群落,在模拟富营养化水体环境条件下与自然水体中藻类共培养,研究了不同类型水生植物群落对藻类的抑制作用.结果表明:1)3种群落对水体中藻类的抑制作用顺序为荇菜群落>复合群落>黑藻群落,实验结束时水体叶绿素a分别减少了63.1%、44.7%、3.3%.2)荇菜群落中蓝藻受到了较强抑制作用,其总藻细胞密度比初始减少了99.5%;而绿藻总藻细胞密度则比初始增加了31.6%;黑藻群落中蓝藻仍保持较高生物量,绿藻藻细胞密度一直处于较低水平;复合群落对蓝绿藻均有很好的抑制效果,蓝藻藻细胞密度比初始下降了95.9%,绿藻藻细胞密度始终保持在较低水平.3)3种群落中藻类组成变化不同:荇菜群落中初始以微囊藻、色球藻等蓝藻门植物为优势种,逐渐转变为以小球藻、栅藻、四角藻等绿藻门植物为优势种;黑藻群落中藻类一直以微囊藻为优势种,伴生有少量的小球藻属、栅藻属、隐藻属藻种;复合群落水体中藻类组成与荇菜群落中藻类变化相似,实验期间微囊藻数量逐渐减少,而栅藻数量逐渐升高.4)不同群落中植物生物量增加明显,荇菜和黑藻的鲜重在单种群落和复合群落中均具有较高的增长率,分别为129.8%、63.6%和108.8%、66.5%;植物生长对光照、温度、pH等环境因子具有明显的调节作用,荇菜群落中水下20 cm处光衰减率与水体叶绿素a显著相关,说明荇菜的遮光作用是其产生显著抑藻作用的重要原因.     

酚对极大螺旋藻生长的影响

水环境污染正日益加剧,许多湖泊和海洋中浮游藻类大量爆发,形成水华.浮游藻类是一类光合作用自养生物,关于无机氮、磷等营养盐与微藻生长之间的关系已有很多详细的研究.但对于有机物对微藻生长的影响却研究得较少.有些研究已发现,许多藻类不但能够利用无机碳,它们也能利用葡萄糖、醋酸等有机物作为其生长的碳源1,2.酚类物质是工业废水中常见的环境污染物质,虽然已有研究表明,有些藻类可分解酚3,4,但对于排放到水体中的酚会对浮游藻类有何影响尚无系统研究报道.本文研究了不同浓度酚对蓝藻极大螺旋藻(Spirulinamaxima)生长的影响以及藻对酚的分解作用,旨在探讨酚类物质可能对浮游藻类生态的影响.       

海洋碳迁移转化与主要化学驱动因子的相互关系

分析了化学驱动因子对海洋碳迁移转化过程的影响.海洋碳迁移转化与各种化学驱动因子参与的生物地球化学过程密切相关.营养盐水平、pH、溶解氧浓度（DO）、氧化还原电位（Eh）、SO₄^2-及硫电位（Es）等主要化学驱动因子的消长导致了海洋化学环境的变化,进而对海洋碳的迁移转化产生影响.在营养盐的供给和生物吸收情况良好的海域,CO₂由于光合作用,并通过沉降有机物的氧化,不断被转移到海水深层,使得海水中的CO₂分压（P_CO2）降低,CO₂的海-气交换量和有机碳输出通量增大,从使该海域表现为CO₂的汇.由于CO₂的溶解与吸收以及有机物的降解造成了海洋环境的日益酸化,引起了海水中碳酸盐溶解度增大;沉积物中酸碱环境的变化也与有机物的矿化以及碳酸盐的溶解、沉淀过程密切相关.此外,DO、Eh、SO₄^2-及Es的变化与水体中有机碳的矿化分解过程和碳在沉积层中沉积埋葬过程相耦合.在水体中,高DO、高Eh利于有机碳向无机碳转化;而在DO和Eh较低的沉积环境中,高SO₄^2-不利于有机碳的埋葬与保存.     

不同理化因子对雨生红球藻CG-11碳酸酐酶活性的影响

以雨生红球藻CG-11为实验藻株,探讨在不同CO2、HCO3-、Zn2＋浓度以及pH和氮磷比例条件下,藻细胞的碳酸酐酶活性对这些理化因子的响应。结果表明,通入空气实验组的碳酸酐酶活性最高,为（75.20±1.53）U·mg-1（Chla）,通入5%CO2条件下的碳酸酐酶活性为（9.96±1.43）U·mg-1（Chla）;高浓度HCO3-对碳酸酐酶活性亦具有明显抑制作用,培养液中可溶性无机碳的浓度与碳酸酐酶活性呈负相关;在实验设置的pH范围内,pH9.0时碳酸酐酶活性最高,为（62.32±3.25）U·mg-1（Chla）;适当的氮磷比与Zn2＋浓度显著提高了雨生红球藻CG-11的生长速率,碳酸酐酶的活性亦有明显提高。     

水华鱼腥藻生长与光合作用对大气CO2浓度升高的响应

 为了探讨大气CO2浓度升高对水华藻类的影响,利用水华鱼腥藻(Anabena flos_aquae)作为实验材料,研究了大气CO2浓度加倍对其生长和光合作用的影响,结果显示大气CO2浓度升高导致水华鱼腥藻的生物量、光饱和光合速率、光合效率和光系统II的光化学效率（Fv/Fm）明显提高,但对暗呼吸速率和光饱和点没有明显影响。CO2加倍条件下藻细胞光合作用对无机碳的亲和力降低,表明其利用HCO-3的能力受到抑制。     

达里诺尔湖沉积物中无机碳的形态组成

Binding of isolated 3T3 surface membranes to growing 3T3 cells and their effect on cell growth

We have quantitated by autoradiography the binding of [¹²⁵I]labeled 3T3 plasma membrane fragments to 3T3 cells growing on the surface of plastic dishes; ie, the same conditions in which these membranes specifically arrest the growth of 3T3 cells early in the G₁ phase of the cell cycle. We have been able to demonstrate that binding of membranes to cells is coincidental with the expression of the growth inhibitory activity of protein(s) present in the membrane fragments. Treatments that reduce binding (heat denaturation of the membranes or culture in the presence of high scrum) also reduce growth inhibitory activity. [¹²⁵I]labeled membranes bound to cells are located primarily on the cell surface (as determined by electron microscope autoradiography) and are exchangeable with unlabeled membranes. We conclude that binding of membranes to cells is necessary but may not be sufficient for the expression of the growth inhibitory activity of these membranes. This approach provides information not only on the average level of binding of membranes to cells, but also provides a quantitative assessment of the variation of the level of membrane to cell binding between different cells in the population.     

Accurate quantification of basal plasma levels of 3-nitrotyrosine and 3-nitrotyrosinoalbumin by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Measurement of 3-nitro-L-tyrosine (NO(2)Tyr) and protein-related 3-nitro-L-tyrosine in human plasma is associated with numerous methodological problems which result in highly divergent basal plasma levels often ranging within two orders of magnitude. Recently, we have described an interference-free GC-tandem MS-based method for NO(2)Tyr which yielded the lowest basal plasma NO(2)Tyr levels reported thus far. This method was extended to quantify protein-associated 3-nitrotyrosine and in particular 3-nitrotyrosinated albumin (NO(2)TyrALB) in human plasma. NO(2)TyrALB and albumin (ALB) were extracted from plasma by affinity column extraction and digested enzymatically at neutral pH. 3-Nitro- L-[2H(3)]tyrosine was used as internal standard. In plasma of 18 healthy young volunteers the molar ratio of NO(2)TyrALB to albumin-derived tyrosine (TyrALB), i.e. NO(2)TyrALB/TyrALB, was determined to be 1.55+/-0.54x1:10(6) (mean+/-SD). The plasma concentration of NO(2)TyrALB was estimated as 24+/-4 nM. The NO(2)Tyr plasma levels in these volunteers were determined to be 0.73+/-0.53 nM. In the same volunteers, NO(2)TyrALB/TyrALB, NO(2)TyrALB and NO(2)Tyr were measured 15 days later and the corresponding values were determined to be 1.25+/-0.58x1:10(6), 25+/-6 nM and 0.69+/-0.16 nM. For comparison, NO(2)Tyr and NO(2)TyrALB were measured in six plasma samples from healthy volunteers by GC-MS and GC-tandem MS. Different values were found for NO(2)Tyr, i.e. 5.4+/-2.8 versus 2.7+/-1.5 nM, and comparable values for NO(2)TyrALB/TyrALB, i.e. 0.5+/-0.2x1:10(6) versus 0.4+/-0.1x1:10(6), by these methods. The ratio of the values measured by GC-MS to those measured by GC-tandem MS were 2.9+/-3.1 for NO(2)Tyr and 1.2+/-0.2 for NO(2)TyrALB/TyrALB. The present GC-tandem MS method provides accurate values of NO(2)Tyr and NO(2)TyrALB in human plasma.     

Strain differences in the induction of soluble and microsomal enzymes by phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene

The ability of phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC) to induce liver microsomal and soluble enzymes was compared in Sprague-Dawley and Long-Evans rats. 3MC increased the V for the aniline hydroxylase and stimulated the formation of the hemoprotein P₄₄₈ to a similar extent in the 2 strains of rats. On the other hand phenobarbital increased the V for the microsomal enzyme aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine demethylase and enhanced the activity of the soluble enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase only in Sprague-Dawley rats. It induced a more marked increase of cytochrome P₄₅₀ in the Sprague-Dawley than in the Long-Evans strain.     

Differential expression and accumulation of 14-3-3 paralogs in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and differentiated cells

The 14-3-3 protein family interacts with more than 2000 different proteins in mammals, as a result of its specific phospho-serine/phospho-threonine binding activity. Seven paralogs are strictly conserved in mammalian species. Here, we show that during adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, the level of each 14-3-3 protein paralog is regulated independently. For instance 14-3-3β, γ, and η protein levels are increased compared to untreated cells. In contrast, 14-3-3ε protein levels decreased after differentiation while others remained constant. In silico analysis of the promoter region of each gene showed differences that explain the results obtained at mRNA and protein levels.

The mutational spectrum of procarbazine in Drosophila melanogaster.

The antineoplastic agent Procarbazine was tested for the induction of genetic damage in Drosophila melanogaster. The compound was administered to adult males by oral application. The following types of genetic damage were measured: (1) sex-linked recessive lethals; (2) dominant lethals; (3) total and partial sex-chromosome loss; and (4) translocations. Procarbazine is highly mutagenic in causing recessive lethal mutations in all stages of spermatogenesis. In sperm a clear-cut concentration-effect relationship is not apparent, but in spermatids such a relationship is obtained for mutation induction at low levels of procarbazine exposure, while at high concentrations the induction of recessive lethals is not a function of concentration. A low induction of total sex-chromosome loss (X,Y) and dominant lethals was observed in metabolically active germ cells (spermatids), but procarbazine failed to produce well-defined breakage events, such as partial sex-chromosome loss (YL,YS) and II-III translocations. The results obtained in Drosophila melanogaster are discussed and compared with the mutational pattern reported in the mouse after procarbazine treatment.
