The new higher level classification of eukaryotes with emphasis on the taxonomy of protists

This revision of the classification of unicellular eukaryotes updates that of Levine et al. (1980) for the protozoa and expands it to include other protists. Whereas the previous revision was primarily to incorporate the results of ultrastructural studies, this revision incorporates results from both ultrastructural research since 1980 and molecular phylogenetic studies. We propose a scheme that is based on nameless ranked systematics. The vocabulary of the taxonomy is updated, particularly to clarify the naming of groups that have been repositioned. We recognize six clusters of eukaryotes that may represent the basic groupings similar to traditional "kingdoms." The multicellular lineages emerged from within monophyletic protist lineages: animals and fungi from Opisthokonta, plants from Archaeplastida, and brown algae from Stramenopiles.     

Some microbiological aspects of surface and buried soils on Mt. Kenya,East Africa

When numbers of microorganisms in profiles of surface and buried horizons on Mt. Kenya were estimated by dilution plate counting they were found to be consistently lower than those from other soils in different geographical regions as determined from the literature. The lower numbers are probably characteristic of the poorly weathered Inceptisols and Entisols usually found in the alpine zone.The A horizons of the soils studied contain proportionately fewer of the total numbers of organisms in the A, B and C horizons than observed in most soils. Estimates of organic matter were positively correlated with numbers of fungi and bacteria in the A horizons. However, other factors such as severe drought, high light intensity, low temperatures, diurnal frost heaving, low pH and paucity of clay minerals may be significant factors in suppressing the more luxuriant growth of microbial populations.Organic and inorganic horizons of buried soils sometimes exhibit higher counts of microorganisms than adjacent horizons of surface soils. However, the bacteria and fungi even in deeply buried paleosols exhibit characteristics of an unspecialized heterotrophic population. Among fungi the species were obviously the same as those isolated from one or more of the overlying horizons. Taken in conjunction with other evidence from the profiles it is concluded that the microorganisms were introduced and represent a transient or non-active population. Contamination of buried organic horizons may influence the estimated age as assessed by radiocarbon dating.

Optimum energy intake and gross efficiency of energy conversion for brown trout, Salmo trutta, feeding on invertebrates or fish

1. The chief objectives were to determine the daily optimum energy intake ( C OPT cal day−1) for growth and the gross efficiency ( K G%) for converting energy intake into growth for brown trout, Salmo trutta . Energy budgets for individual fish were obtained from experiments with 292 trout (initial live weight 1–318 g) bred from wild parents, and kept at five constant temperatures (5, 10, 13, 15, 18 °C) and 100% oxygen saturation. Most trout (252) were fed over a period of 42 days on a fixed ration of shrimps, Gammarus pulex , the ration levels varying between zero and maximum, but 40 of the larger trout were fed to satiation on freshly-killed sticklebacks ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ).
2. Energetics models developed in earlier studies on the same data were summarized briefly and were used to predict the relationship between the change in the total energy content of a trout ( C G cal day−1) and its energy intake ( C IN cal day−1), and hence to estimate C OPT. The models were also used to predict the relationship between K G and C IN. In both comparisons, there was good agreement between observed values from the experiments and expected mean values predicted from the models. For trout feeding on invertebrates, C OPT lay closer to the maximum, rather than the maintenance, energy intake. When the diet changed from invertebrates to fish, there was a marked increase in C IN, C G and K G.
3. For trout feeding on invertebrates, K G exceeded 30% within 7–11 °C, with a maximum K G of 31.8% at 8.9 °C. For piscivorous trout, K G exceeded 30% within 4–16 °C and 40% within 6.5–12 °C, with a maximum K G of 41.8% at 9.3 °C. These differences were discussed in relation to the results of previous workers, and the models used in the present study provided a method of exploring the limitations of the ' K -line' hypothesis for the relationship between K G and C IN.

The Effect of Tillage and Mesorelief on the Structure of Soil Microbial Cenoses

The investigation of soil microbial cenoses in cultivated catenas and in virgin soils at the foot of catenas showed that the structure of these microbiocenoses depends on the type of the vegetation cover, the characteristics of mesorelief, and the degree of soil tillage. The microbiocenoses were found to be dominated by the fungal mycelium. The proportion of bacteria and fungal spores was higher and the seasonal variations in the soil microbial communities were more distinct in the cultivated than in the virgin swamp and forest soils. The type of mesorelief was found to appreciably influence microbial populations in the top humus-rich horizons of the cultivated soils and not in the mineral soil horizons.     

The density and diversity of gymnamoebae associated with terrestrial moss communities (Bryophyta: Bryopsida) in a northeastern U.S. forest

Moss communities are commonly found in temperate forests and form a nearly continuous understory in some high latitude forests. However, little is known about the microbial component of these communities, especially the non-testate amoeboid protists. Fifty morphospecies of naked amoebae were identified in samples collected at eight sites in a northeastern North American forest. The mean number (+/-SE) of morphospecies found per sample site based on laboratory cultures was 17+/-2.1. The density of amoebae expressed as number/g dry weight of moss ranged from 3.5+/-0.04 x 10(3) to 4.3+/-0.2 x 10(4) and was positively correlated with the moss moisture content (r=0.9, P<0.001, df=26). Densities of gymnamoebae in the moss are generally higher than found in the surrounding soil, but this may be due in part to the greater weight of soil per unit volume compared with moss. The percentage of encysted forms was inversely related to the moisture content of the moss sample.     

基于微生物共培养的隐性基因簇激活策略

微生物次级代谢产物是药物先导化合物的重要源泉之一。随着测序技术的迅猛发展,越来越多的微生物基因组得以测序完成。伴随着测序技术的进步,生物信息学也得到了快速发展。基因组序列分析发现,链霉菌和丝状真菌等微生物中存在大量的已知的或未知的次级代谢物生物合成基因簇(secondary metabolite-biosynthetic gene clusters,SM-BGCs)。然而,在实验室培养条件下大部分基因簇无法表达或表达量很低,导致难以发现这些基因簇所对应的代谢产物,人们将这类基因簇称为“隐性基因簇”或“沉默基因簇”。通过调节基因簇中特异调控基因或基因簇外全局性调控基因的表达,对代谢途径的定向改造,以及将基因簇导入异源宿主等策略,能够激活部分隐性基因簇的表达。通过激活隐性基因簇的表达,能够发现通过常规实验室培养无法获得的具有独特生物活性的新结构代谢产物,成为创新药物的重要来源之一。然而,这些基因簇激活策略都严重依赖于对特定菌株或宿主的遗传操作。近年来,通过模拟自然混合培养中微生物间相互作用,开发了通过混合特定微生物菌株在厌氧或好氧条件下激活隐性基因簇的方法,称之为共培养激活策略。这种策略不...

Luminescence-Based Systems for Detection of Bacteria in the Environment

Abstract

The development of techniques for detection and tracking of microorganisms in natural environments has been accelerated by the requirement for assessment of the risks associated with environmental release of genetically engineered microbial inocula. Molecular marker systems are particularly appropriate for such studies and luminescence-based markers have the broadest range of applications, involving the introduction of prokaryotic (lux) or eukaryotic (luc) genes for the enzyme luciferase.

Lux or luc genes can be detected on the basis of unique DNA sequences by gene probing and PCR amplification, but the major advantage of luminescence-based systems is the ability to detect light emitted by marked organisms or by luciferase activity in cell-free extracts. Luminescent colonies can be detected by eye, providing distinction from colonies of indigenous organisms, and the sensitivity of plate counting can be increased greatly by CCD imaging. Single cells or microcolonies of luminescent organisms can also be detected in environmental samples by CCD image-enhanced microscopy, facilitating study of their spatial distribution. The metabolic activity of luminescence-marked populations can be quantified by luminometry and does not require extraction of cells or laboratory growth. Metabolic activity, and potential activity, of marked organisms therefore can be measured during colonization of soil particles and plant material in real time without disturbing the colonization process.

In comparison with traditional activity techniques, luminometry provides significant increases in sensitivity, accuracy, and, most importantly, selectivity, as activity can be measured in the presence of indigenous microbial communities. The sensitivity, speed, and convenience of luminescence measurements make this a powerful technique that is being applied to the study of an increasingly wide range of ecological problems. These include microbial survival and recovery, microbial predation, plant pathogenicity, phylloplane and rhizosphere colonization and reporting of gene expression in environmental samples.

我国植胶区土壤和橡胶树叶片含锰量的研究

我国橡胶树叶片含锰量范围为31—2167ppm,平均390ppm,高于橡胶树正常植株叶片含锰量(150—300ppm)。因此,我国橡胶树目前锰素的营养状况是良好的。由于我国植胶区地区广,成土母质和土壤类型复杂,施肥管理水平不同,以及橡胶树在生长和产胶过程中锰素营养的不断消耗,土壤含锰量变幅很大。含锰最高值与最低值相差达140多倍,代换态锰、易还原态锰最高值与最低值相差高达200倍和1240倍。土壤中易还原态锰的贮备也显不足。因此,我国部分植胶区的橡胶树出现缺锰黄叶现象。本文提出了纠正缺锰黄叶症的施肥方法、施肥用量和施肥时期。
