Submergence(Fermentation)Culture of Anisodus acutanguhts Cells and Identification of Hyoscyamine and Scopolamine in the Cultured Ceils

The growth rate of Anisodus acutangulus cells in the submergence culture was 1.5 g dry wt/l/day, a rate 3 times as that in the suspension culture and more than 10 times over that of the solid static culture: However, the contents of hyoscyamine (0.203 mg/g dry wt) and scopolamine (0.178 mg/g dry. wt) in submergence culture were only slightly higher than those in the two other cultures. But when the 12-day-old submergence culture was supplemented with phenylalanine (5m mol/l) and kinetin (0.1mg/l), it was observed that not only the cell growth rate was increased but also the cellular content of hyoscyamine was raised to a level of 0.217 mg/g dry wt., and that scopolamine to 0.412 mg/g dry wt. The contents of these two alkaloids represented 1.1 and 2.3 times respectively the value of the culture without phenylalanine and kinetin supplements. The optimum date for harvesting the A. acutangulus culture Was on the 14th day of the culture. The monomers of hyoscyamine and scopolamine isolated from the cultured cells were purified and recrystalized, and then identifited as the two compounds in question by the thin-layer chromatography, melting point determination, and ultraviolet, infra-red and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. In this paper, we also summarize and discuss the results of A. acutangulus culture experiments performed in the past 8 years. Our finding seems to inclieate that following a pilot production trial, the tissue culture method could well be employed to produce hyoscyamine and scopolamine from A. acutangulus cells on an industrial scale.

Cryopreservation of Calli and Their Suspension Culture Cells of Anisodus acutangulus

Calli and their suspension culture cells of Anisodus acutangulus cultures which had been cryopreservated showed no change in cell morphology or growth potential in culture and retained biosynthesis ability of hyoscyamine and scopolamine. Cells viability beyond 90% has been obtained after cryopreservation. In cryoperservation experiments, calli were better than their suspension culture cells, the younger was better than the older, –196 ℃ was better than –20 ℃, cryoprotectant lactalbumin hydrolysate was similar to the dimethyl sulfoxide. Calli and their suspension culture cells of Al acutangulus could not be cryopreservated in the presence of cryoprotectant glycerine or in the absence of cryprotectant.     

Studies on Cell Suspension Culture and Fermentation Culture in Arnebia euchroma

This paper reports some characteristics of cell suspension and fermentation culture in Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst. The yield of suspension culture reached 22.0g dry wt/L per month when inoculum quantity was 2.50 g dry wt/L. Time-course study showed that cell growith lagged in 0–3 days and enhanced greatly in 3–12 days, and almost ceased after 12 days of culture, pH value changed during the culture period and peaked on the 12th day after inoculation. When cells were cultured in liquid production medium, the contents of shikonin derivatives increased quickly and reached to the maximum about the 25th day. The cell yield of 9.47 and 9.34 g dry wt/L per month was obtained in fermentation culture. Timecourse of cell growth in fermentation culture was similar to that in suspension culture. The total content of shikonin derivatives in fermentation culture was 14.26% dry weight from 10 L bioreactor. The yield of shikonin derivatives was 1.93 g/L.     

Studies on Fermentation Culture of Cells of Panax notoginseng

The saponin content of Panax notoginseng cell cultures-was 11.14% of dry weight, the saponin yield was 1513.3mg· L-1, and yield of cell cultures was 13.58g dry wt · L-1 per month in fermentation culture, which were all better than those obtained from in suspension culture. Increasing inoculum quantity could obviously increase growth rate, saponin content and yield of cell cultures. An aeration rate of 0.8vvm was optimal for fermentation culture of the cells. The pH value of the culture broth went down from 5.80 to 3.92 gradually and never returned in fermentation culture of P. notoginseng cells.

Seasonal changes in organic composition and caloric content of an Arctic marine amphipod, Onisimus (= Boeckosimus) affinis H.J. Hansen

Protein, lipid, carbohydrate, chitin, ash, and caloric energy contents of the Arctic marine benthic amphipod Onisimus (= Boeckosimus) affinis H.J. Hansen were determined at intervals over two and one half years. The lipid content exhibited the most pronounced seasonal change, from a minimum of about 14–17% of dry wt to a maximum of 25–27% of dry wt. An increase in lipid content in the spring coincided with the reproductive period of the species. Lipid and caloric content decreased during the summer to levels that were maintained through the winter, indicating that the animals do not store significant nutritional reserves for use during the winter. The dry weight proportions of other components were: protein 27.7–38.3%; carbohydrate 1.8–4.0%; chitin 7.8–8.2%; ash 21.3–27.2%. Caloric content varied between 3.29 and 4.18 cal/mg dry wt.     

Carbohydrate Storage in the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana was grown in 1% (wt/vol) gelatin-liquid media singly supplemented with a monosaccharide (glucose or fructose), a disaccharide (maltose or trehalose), a polyol (glycerol, mannitol, or sorbitol), or the amino sugar N-acetyl-d-glucosamine. The relative contributions of the carbohydrate, protein, and water contents in the fungal biomass were determined. Carbohydrates composed 18 to 42% of the mycelial dry weight, and this value was lowest in unsupplemented medium and highest in medium supplemented with glucose, glycerol, or trehalose. Biomass production was highest in liquid cultures supplemented with trehalose. When liquid cultures were grown in medium supplemented with 0 to 1% (wt/vol) glucose, trehalose, or N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, there was an increase in the biomass production and the contribution of carbohydrate to mycelial dry weight. Regardless of the glucose concentration in the culture, water content of the mycelia remained about 77.5% (wt/wt). Mycelial storage carbohydrates were determined by capillary gas chromatography. In gelatin-liquid medium supplemented with 1% (wt/vol) glucose, B. bassiana stored glycogen (12.0%, wt/dry wt) and the polyols mannitol (2.2%), erythritol (1.6%), glycerol (0.4%), and arabitol (0.1%). Without glucose, B. bassiana stored glycogen (5.4%), mannitol (0.8%), glycerol (0.6%), and erythritol (0.6%) but not arabitol. To our knowledge, this is the first report of carbohydrate storage in an entomopathogenic fungus, and the results are discussed in relation to other fungi and the potential implications to commercial formulation and insect-fungus interactions.     

三分三悬浮培养细胞中苯丙氨酸、鸟氨酸和莨菪碱至东莨菪碱的生物转化

在三分三悬浮培养中分别补充前体苯丙氨酸、鸟氨酸和莨菪碱时,悬浮细胞的生长速率及东莨菪碱的转化率均以补充苯丙氨酸者为最高,分别比未加前体的对照增加50.2％和4.0％。 在上述处理培养两周后于培养液中分别加入70ppm的放线菌酮抑制蛋白质合成时,虽然细胞中东莨菪碱的转化按克干重计算均有明显增加,但是由于细胞生长受强烈抑制不利于东莨菪碱的总的转化,按每瓶总干重计算的转化率均比对照低。 在分别补充三种前体并培养两周后使营养缺乏时,细胞生长比对照稍有降低,但细胞中东莨菪碱的转化却显著增加。特别是补充莨菪碱并使营养缺乏时,大大利于莨菪碱转化为东莨菪碱,转化率高达27.4％。既降低了培养成本又提高了东莨菪碱产量,有利于未来的工业生产。     

光照对沙芥种子萌发中生理生化指标的影响

以沙芥种子为实验材料,以24h黑暗处理为对照,研究了光照对其萌发过程中主要贮藏物质、内源激素和酚酸类物质含量的影响。结果表明：光照处理的沙芥种子的萌发指标均明显低于黑暗处理,且萌发过程中脂肪和淀粉的降解、淀粉酶活性、可溶性糖的增加也显著低于黑暗处理;在萌发的前2d,光照处理的种子ABA、酚酸类物质总量、没食子酸、对羟基苯甲酸、咖啡酸、香豆酸和肉桂酸含量均高于黑暗处理。     

外循环气升式反应器培养新疆紫草细胞

采用两步培养法进行新疆紫草细胞悬浮培养及5L外循环气升式反应器扩大培养,探讨了培养过程中细胞生长、紫草色素合成与培养液的电导率、可溶性糖含量变化之间的关系。第一步培养时细胞生长迅速,但也有一部分色素合成,电导率及可溶性糖含量迅速下降;第二步培养初期电导率也开始下降,但当色素合成达到高峰并有一部分外泌到培养基后,电导率又开始回升。可溶性糖捎耗很快,到后期巳测不出其存在。因此通过监测培养液中电导率及可溶性糖的变化情况,可以为新疆紫草细胞大规模培养与色素合成提供有用的参数指标。     

豌豆种子萌发时的含水量对子叶中蛋白酶和淀粉酶活性的影响

不同含水量的豌豆种子在饱和水蒸气中保持7d,在此过程中,当含水量低于萌动临界含水量时,限制了子叶中淀粉酶长寿mRNA的转译;含水量达到或超过萌动临界含水量时,子叶中淀粉酶长寿mRNA的转译得以进行,但转译程度因含水量不同而异,正常生长的轴器官是吸收子叶中蛋白质和淀粉水解产物的动力库,子叶中氨基酸含量的变化灵敏地调节着蛋白酶的活性,从而影响着蛋白质的动员程度,当环境中供水不足时,发现子叶中还原糖积累很快,非还原糖含量几乎没有变化,因此,认为对淀粉酶活性起灵敏调节作用的主要是还原糖。     

Screening of Clone Lines with High Yield of Oligosaccharins from Culture Cells of Panax ginseng

Cell plating clone technique was employed to screen clone lines with high yield of oligosaccharins from culture cells of Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Near 300 clone lines were obtained. The results from some clone lines analysed implied that these clone lines were significantly different in cell growth rate, oligosaccharins content and yield. Furthermore, there was a distinct correlation between oligosaccharins productivity and cell growth. A more stable high-yield oligosaccharin clone line PG-180 had been selected according to the characteristics of growth rate, oligosaccharin yield and peroxidases isozyme patterns during successive subculturing of 11 generations of clone lines. The mean growth rate of clone line PG-180 was 0. 495 g dry wt/L · d, and was 1.39 folds higher than to the original strain. Its mean content and yield of oligosaccharins were 14. 69 % dry wt and 2.183 g/L, which were 65 % and 132% respectively higher than those of the original strain. In comparing the time course of cell suspension culture between clone line PG-180 and the original strain, the optimal period for high oligosaccharin production from P. ginseng culture cells was approximately three weeks.

Effects of Pluronic F-68 on plant cells in suspension culture

Summary The effects of the non-ionic surfactant, Pluronic F-68, on growth and structure ofSolanum dulcamara cells in suspension culture have been studied. Growth of cells, as measured by dry weight, was unaffected by low concentrations (0.01–1.0% w/v) of pluronic, while culture with higher concentrations (2.5–10.0%) resulted in cell death. It is suggested that low concentrations of pluronic may be valuable supplements in plant cell cultures to protect against mechanical damage and to manipulate membrane systems.

为进一步优化怀牛膝(Achyranthes bidentata)细胞悬浮培养条件,对接种量、继代周期、pH、光照及Cu2+等多种影响因子的作用效果进行了研究,以提高怀牛膝细胞生长量及牛膝多糖含量。结果显示,接种量50 g·L^–1、继代周期14天,pH5–6和光照培养可以使细胞保持良好的生长状态及多糖合成能力;添加50μmol·L^–1 Cu^2+,细胞的干重最大,可达44.63 g·L^–1,多糖含量也最高,为4.02 mg·g^–1。     

丛枝菌根真菌对黄瓜枯萎病的影响

Pot experiment was conducted to explore whether nursery inoculation of cucumber with Glomus etunicatum could alleviate fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum. Four-week-old seedlings inoculated with Glomus etunicatum were infected with F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum by pouring conidial suspension. Biomass, contents of malonaldehyde (MDA), soluble sugar and free proline in roots, as well as the quantity of bacteria and fungi in rhizosphere were determined. The results indicated that the root dry weight of seedlings preinoculated with Glomus etunicatum increased by 9.3%; contents of soluble sugar and free proline in roots increased, and the quantity of fungi in rhizosphere decreased significantly. The disease incidence and disease index of Fusarium wilt were reduced. On the contrary, root dry weight of seedlings without inoculation with Glomus etunicatum was reduced by 28.0%. It is concluded that Glomus etunicatum is beneficial to biocontrol of Fusarium wilt of cucumber seedlings.     

Effects of complete plant submergence on vegetative growth,grain yield and some biochemical changes in rice plants

Summary Complete plant submergence for 6 or 9 days at 20 days after transplanting effected the same decrease in grain yield as submergence for 12 days at 40 days after transplanting. With increasing duration of submergence, tiller number, green leaves and dry weight of all varieties tested decreased. The decrease was less in the flood tolerant variety FR 13A than in other varieties. Contents of reducing sugars and amylase activity also decreased with increasing duration of submergence. The reducing sugar contents and amylase activity were higher and peroxidase activity was lower in flood tolerant variety FR 13A than in other varieties. The N contents increased and P and K contents decreased with duration of submergence.
