色赤杨光合作用与根瘤氮代谢的关系

在放线菌结瘤植物(Actinorhizal plants)与放线菌Frankia的共生体系中,固氮酶(N_2ase)活性与所提供的光合产物的量密切相关。通过在同一天的不同对间内,对同株色赤杨光合作用和根瘤中的N_2ase比活、NH_4~ 含量、还原糖含量以及总氮量的变化所做的同步测定结果表明,N_2ase比活的最高峰迟后于光合强度的最高峰;在根瘤内部,NH_4~ 含量和还原糖含量都与N_2ase比活呈负相关,而总氮量则与N_2ase比活呈正相关。本文对这一现象进行了讨论,并且推测还原糖作为光合作用产物的衍生物,直接影响根瘤的固氮作用,它不仅为N.2ase提供固氮所需的能量,而且为固氮产物NH_4~ 提供受体。

Correlations between the ages of Alnus host species and the genetic diversity of associated endosymbiotic Frankia strains from nodules

Nodule samples were collected from four alder species: Alnus nepalensis, A. sibirica, A. tinctoria and A. mandshurica growing in different environments on Gaoligong Mountains,Yunnan Province of Southwest China and on Changbai Mountains, Jilin Province of Northeast China. PCR-RFLP analysis of the IGS between nifD and nifK genes was directly applied to uncultured Frankia strains in the nodules. A total of 21 restriction patterns were obtained. The Frankia population in the nodules of A. nepalensis had the highest genetic diversity among all four Frankia populations; by contrast, the population in the nodules of A. mandshurica had the lowest degree of divergence; the ones in the nodules of A. sibirica and A. tinctoria were intermediate. A dendrogram, which was constructed based on the genetic distance between the restriction patterns, indicated that Frankia strains from A. sibirica and A. tinctoria had a close genetic relationship. Frankia strains from A. nepalensis might be the ancestor of Frankia strains infecting other Alnus species. From these results and the inference of the ages of Alnus host species, it is deduced that there was a co-evolution between Alnus and its microsymbiont Frankia in China.

自然环境胁迫对旱冬瓜Frankia菌基因多样性的影响

利用rep-PCR方法,研究云南鸡足山及无量山不同生境下旱冬瓜根瘤内Frankia菌基因多样性及其变化,以了解不同自然环境胁迫对Frankia菌基因多样性的影响。结果表明,多样性随地域、海拔和坡向不同而变化,鸡足山Frankia菌基因类型比无量山丰富。鸡足山旱冬瓜根瘤内的Frankia菌在山底2300m处,Shannon指数平均为0．90;山顶海拔2650m以上,Shannon指数随之上升到1．33。南坡Frankia菌多样性高于北坡,表明多样性指数与环境胁迫大小成正相关,自然环境胁迫是产生和保持Frankia菌基因多样性的重要因子之一。     

Diversity of Frankia strains isolated from single nodules of Alnus glutinosa

Diversity of Frankia isolates originating from lobes of single nodules collected on Alnus glutinosa root systems has been analyzed using isozyme electrophoresis method. Analysis of isozyme patterns showed no divergence among strains isolated from the same nodule. Each nodule (among 10 assayed) was inhabited by a single Frankia strain.     

Purity of Frankia preparations from root nodules of Alnus incana

Frankia vesicle clusters were prepared from Alnus incana (L.) Moench root nodules by a homogenization-filtration procedure. The preparation was examined by transmission electron microscopy and computerized picture analysis to quantify contamination from the host plant. Special attention was paid to plant mitochondria. Mitochondria were only found in 30% of the 50 sections of clusters examined. In sections containing mitochondria the mean number of mitochondria per cluster section was 1.5. The relative volume of all objects found in the vesicle clusters was calculated. More than 98% of the volume of a preparation consisted of Frankia vesicles and hyphae, while only 0.4% of the volume was host plant mitochondria. The frequency of mitochondria in a preparation could be further decreased by osmotic shock. It is concluded that Frankia vesicle clusters, prepared from Alnus incana by the homogenization-filtration technique used here, are sufficiently pure to be used for studies of Frankia metabolism.     

Phylogenetic characterization of ineffective Frankia in Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. nodules from wetland soil inoculants

Ineffective Frankia endophytes were retrieved from various wet soils by using Alnus glutinosa clones as trapping plants. No pure cultures could be isolated from these ineffective nodules. Therefore, the phylogenetic position of these endophytes was determined by sequence analysis of cloned PCR products of bacterial 16S rDNA, derived from nodules. The results showed that all nodule endophytes belong to a hitherto undescribed cluster of the Frankia phylogenetic tree. The position of these uncultured ineffective Frankia nodule endophytes is different from that of the ineffective Frankia isolates derived from A. glutinosa nodules, even when originating from the same geographical location. This suggests a bias in current isolation techniques.
