Rhodopseudomonas acidophila strain 7050 can satisfy all its nitrogen and carbon requirements from l-alanine. Addition of 100 M methionine sulfoximine to alanine grown cultures had no effect on growth rate indicating that deamination of alanine via alanine dehydrogenase and re-assimilation of the released NH

by glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase was an insignificant route of nitrogen transfer in this bacterium. Determination of aminotransferase activities in cell-free extracts failed to demonstrate the presence of direct routes from alanine to either aspartate or glutamate. The only active aminotransferase involving l-alanine was the alanine-glyoxylate enzyme (114–167 nmol·min–1·mg–1 protein) which produced glycine as end-product. The amino group of glycine was further transaminated to yield aspartate via a glycineoxaloacetate aminotransferase (117–136 nmol·min–1 ·mg–1 protein). No activity was observed when 2-oxoglutarate was substituted for oxaloacetate. The formation of glutamate from aspartate was catalysed by aspartate-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (85–107 nmol·min–1·mg–1 protein). Determinations of free intracellular amino acid pools in alanine and alanine+100 M methionine sulfoximine grown cells showed the predominance of glutamate, glycine and aspartate, providing further evidence that in alanine grown cultures R. acidophila satisfies its nitrogen requirements for balanced growth by transamination.Abbreviations ADH

The population growth pattern and related changes in both the nitrogen and phosphorus contents in the cell of the dinoflagellate Peridinium penardii (Lemm.) Lemm., which formed a freshwater red tide in a reservoir, were studied in situ. An exponential increase with time in population density was found. A specific growth rate of 0.25 d–1 was observed. The cellular content of phosphorus per cell decreased from 6.0 × 10–5 µg to 9.2 × 10–6 µg along with an increase in population density from 8.0 × 102 cells ml–1 to 2.5 × 104 cells ml–1. A prominent change in the cellular nitrogen did not occur. Decreasing cell content and continuous uptake of phosphorus were advantageous for P. penardii to form a freshwater red tide under P-limited conditions. 相似文献

A natural zeolite, easily vitrified and blown at 1300 °C with a high porosity and diam. of 5–100 m, was used to immobilize Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 3.6 × 108 cells ml–1 carrier. When the abilities of natural zeolite carrier were compared with glass beads, the capacity for immobilization and alcohol fermentation activity were, respectively, 2-fold higher and 1.2-fold higher than that of glass beads. Continuous alcohol fermentation was stable for over 21 d without breakage of the carrier. 相似文献

Toxic dinoflagellates are important in natural ecosystems and are ofglobal economic significance because of the impact of toxic blooms onaquaculture and human health. Both the organisms and the toxins they producehave potential for biotechnology applications. We investigated autotrophicgrowth of a toxic dinoflagellate, Alexandrium minutum, inthree different high biomass culture systems, assessing growth, productivityandtoxin production. The systems used were: aerated and non-aerated2-L Erlenmeyer flasks; 0.5-L glass aerated tubes; anda 4-L laboratory scale alveolar panel photobioreactor. A range ofindicators was used to assess growth in these systems. Alexandriumminutum grew well in all culture conditions investigated, with amarked increase in both biomass and productivity in response to aeration. Thehighest cell concentration (4.9 × 105 cellsmL–1) and productivity (2.6 ×104cells mL–1d–1) was achieved inthe aerated glass culture tubes. Stable growth of A.minutum in the laboratory scale alveolar panel photobioreactor wasmaintained over a period of five months, with a maximum cell concentration of3.3 × 105 cells mL–1, a meanproductivity of 1.4 × 104 cells mL–1d–1, and toxin production of approximately 20g L–1 d–1 with weeklyharvesting. 相似文献

The growth of a strain of Moina macrocopa (Straus 1820) isolated from an experimental stabilization pond in Marrakesh, was examined at seven concentrations of algae (6.25–6.25 × 105 cells ml–1 and at 5 different temperatures (15–30 °C)). Feeding conditions influenced the growth rate as well as the maximum size that reached 1.8 mm at 25 °C and at the highest algal concentration (6.25 × 105 cell ml–1). The life span and number of moltings reached a maximum (17.4 days and 13 moltings) at average nutrient concentrations (6.25 × 105 cell ml–1). Juvenile stages varied from 1 to 3 and adult ones from 6 to 8. In the temperature interval tested, growth rate increased with temperature while longevity decreased. Temperature had less effect on maximal size than nutrient availability. Population density (but not crowding) influenced longevity and survival but had no effect on growth. 相似文献

Acinetobacter baumannii BL88, an environmental isolate, was resistant to 13 metals and 10 antibiotics. Plumbagin cured resistance to silver, cadmium, antimony, streptomycin and ampicillin at varying frequencies. However, only silver resistance transferred (1 × 10–6 recepient–1) to Escherichia coli K12 during conjugation. Correspondingly there was transfer of a 54 kb plasmid (pUPI199) from A. baumannii BL88. The plasmid transformed E. coli DH5 cells at a frequency of 1 × 10–8 recepient–1. The growth rate of E. coli DH5; (pUPI199) was slower as compared with E. coli DH5. Plasmid pUPI199 was 76 and 9.6% stable in the host A. baumannii BL88 in the presence and absence of selection pressure, respectively. A. baumannii BL88 was found to accumulate and retain silver whereas E. coli DH5 (pUPI199) effluxed 63% of the accumulated silver ions. 相似文献

The cause of parathion and propoxur resistance inTyphlodromus pyri was studied in a Dutch strain in which resistance was dependent on a semi-dominant gene. Activity of glutathione S-transferase and acetylcholinesterase and reaction rate of acetylcholinesterase with paraoxon and propoxur were measured in this resistant (R) and in a susceptible (S) strain. The R strain was 100-fold resistant to parathion and 2300-fold resistant to propoxur. A 36-fold reduction was found in rate of inhibition of acetylcholinesterase in the R strain for paraoxon, and a 14-fold reduction for propoxur. In combination with the monogenic nature of the resistance, this proves that the insensitivity of acetylcholinesterase is the cause of resistance. The rate constant of acetylcholinesterase inhibition at 25°C in the S and R strains was 1.5×105 and 4.2×103

The tolerance of sol-gel immobilised and free Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ethanol was studied. The effects of ethanol preincubation time showed that the specific death velocity decreased from 2×105 c.f.u. min–1 for free cells to 2×104 c.f.u. min–1 for immobilised cells thus indicating that immobilised yeast was far less sensitive to the ethanol damage. The specific glucose consumption of immobilised and free cells on a per cell basis was 3×10–12 g cell–1 h–1 and 9×10–12 g cell–1 h–1, respectively. 相似文献

The ability ofPseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli andAcinetobacter radioresistenns to remove phosphate during growth was related to the initial biomass as well as to growth stages and bacterial species. Phosphate was removed by these bacteria under favourable conditions as well as under unfavourable conditions of growth. Experiments showed a relationship between a high initial cell density and phosphate uptake. More phosphate was released than removed when low initial cell densities (102–105 cells ml–1) were used. At a high initial biomass concentration (108 cells ml–1), phosphate was removed during the lag phase and during logarthmic growth byP. fluorescens. Escherichia coli. at high initial biomass concentrations (107 cells ml–1), accumulated most of the phosphate during the first hour of the lag phase and/or during logarithmic growth and in some cases removed a small quantily of phosphate during the stationary growth phase.Acinetobacter radioresistens, at high initial cell densities (106, 107 cells ml–1) removed most of phosphate during the first hour of the lag phase and some phosphate during the stationary growth phase.Pseudomonas fluorescens removed phosphate more thanA. radioresistens andE. coli with specific average ranges from 3.00–28.50 mg L–1 compared to average ranges of 4.92–17.14 mg L–1 forA. radioresistens and to average ranges of 0.50–8.50 mg L–1 forE. coli. 相似文献

Responses of bacteria to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) released from healthy and senescent Fragilaria crotonensis (Bacillariophyceae) were examined in experimental systems. The alga released DOC actively, although the concentration fluctuated greatly in both the axenic (the alga alone) and the mixed (the alga plus the enriched bacteria) cultures. In the control (the bacteria alone) cultures, both DOC concentration and bacterial density were low and almost constant throughout the experiment: 5.0 mg C 1–1 and 1.1 × 105 cells ml–1, respectively. In the mixed cultures, bacterial growth was negligible during the exponential growth phase of the alga, but rapid proliferation of the bacteria occurred after the onset of the stationary growth phase. As the bacterial population grew, the density of senescent algal cells also increased. When the bacteria were fed on the DOC from healthy algae, their growth rate was relatively low (0.44 d–1), but the maximum cell density was high (6.4 × 105 cells ml–1). Conversely, when the bacteria fed on the DOC of senescent algae, they grew at a relatively high rate (0.51 d–1), but the maximum cell density was low (2.8 × 105 cells ml–1). These results suggest that DOCs released from dominant phytoplankton species in different physiological states affect the biomass and activity of bacteria. 相似文献

Summary This paper reports the inhibitory effects of calmidazolium (CDZ), a calmodulin inhibitor, on electrical uncoupling by CO2. Membrane potential and coupling ratio (V
2/V1) are measured in two neighboring cells ofXenopus embryos (16 to 64 cell stage) for periods as long as 5.5 hr. Upon exposure to 100% CO2, control cells consistently uncouple even if the CO2 treatments are repeated every 15 min for 2.5 hr. CDZ (5×10–8–1×10–7
m) strongly inhibits uncoupling. The inhibition starts after 30, 50 and 60 min of treatment with 1×10–7, 7×10–8 and 5×10–8
m CDZ, respectively, is concentration-dependent and partially reversible. In the absence of CO2, CDZ also improves electrical coupling. CDZ has no significant effect on membrane potential and nonjunctional membrane resistance. These data suggest that calmodulin or a calmodulin-like protein participates in the uncoupling mechanism. 相似文献

Life table demography and population growth of Brachionus variabilis Hempel, 1896 in relation to Chlorella vulgaris densities 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We studied the life history variables and population growth characteristics of Brachionus variabilis, which was recorded for the first time from Mexico. The animals were fed Chlorella, using five concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 × 106 cells ml–1) at 25 °C. Food density was observed to have significant effect on life expectancy, average lifespan, gross reproductive rate, net reproductive rate, generation time and population growth rate. The average lifespan ranged from 3 to 6 days depending on the food density. The net reproductive rate ranged from 2 to 7 neonates female–1 d–1. The rate of population increase per day varied from 0.14 to 0.35. The highest net reproductive rate and average lifespan and life expectancy were recorded at Chlorella concentrations of 1 × 106 and 2 × 106 cells ml–1. 相似文献

Lifetable demography of four cladoceran species in relation to algal food (Chlorella vulgaris) density 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Algal food density is known to influence life history variables of cladoceran species. It is not, however, well established whether both littoral and planktonic cladocerans show similar trends when exposed to increasing food concentrations. In the present work, we studied the life table demography of four cladoceran species (Ceriodaphnia cornuta, Moina macrocopa, Pleuroxus aduncus and Simocephalus vetulus) in relation to three algal food concentrations (low: 0.5 × 106, medium: 1.5 × 106 and high: 4.5 × 106 cells ml–1 of Chlorella vulgaris) (in terms of carbon content, these were equivalent to 0.15, 0.45 and 1.35 g ml–1, respectively) at 25 °C. In general, for all the tested cladoceran species, values of average lifespan, gross reproductive rate, net reproductive rate, generation time and the rate of population growth were higher at lower food concentrations. Furthermore, high food concentration resulted in a negative population growth rate (mean ± standard error: –0.091 ± 0.026) for P. aduncus. The highest population growth rate (0.602 ± 0.014) was recorded for M. macrocopa at low food density. S. vetulus had the longest average lifespan (40 ± 1 d) while M. macrocopa had the lowest (5 ± 1 d). C. cornuta showed better performance at medium food concentration. We conclude that among the algal concentrations used here, 0.5 × 106 – 1.5 × 106 was beneficial not only to the planktonic species but also to the littoral P. aduncus and S. vetulus while 4.5 × 106 cells ml–1 was unsuitable for all the cladocerans tested. 相似文献

A simple enzyme mixture containing 2% Cellulase Onozuka R–10 and1% Macerozyme R–10 prepared in deionised water supplemented with 3% NaCland 1 mM CaCl2 was developed for isolating rapidlyprotoplasts from different species of Monostroma,Enteromorpha and Ulva. The yield fordifferent species of Monostroma ranged from 9.6 ×106 to 10.2 × 106 cells g–1f. wt thallus, and forEnteromorpha from 3.48 × 106 to 11.7× 106 cells g–1 f. wt and forUlva from 4.58 × 106 to 26.8 ×106 cells g–1 f. wt. The overallregeneration rate of the protoplasts isolated was usually > 90% and showednormal morphogenesis. The method yields rapid mass production of viableprotoplasts with high regeneration rates. 相似文献

Methyl mercury uptake in free cells and different immobilizates of the cyanobacteriumNostoc calcicola has been examined. The general growth of the immobilized cyanobacterial cells could be negatively correlated with methyl mercury uptake. Alginate spheres proved most efficient in terms of uptake rate (0.48 nmol mg protein–1 min–1, 10 min) and total bioaccumulation (10.71 nmol mg protein–1, 1 h) with a bioconcentration factor of 3.3×103. Alginate biofilms showed a faster methyl mercury accumulation rate (0.83 nmol mg protein–1 min–1, 10 min) with a saturation of 10.28 nmol mg protein–1 reached within only 30 min (bioconcentration factor, 3.1×103). Foam preparations with a slow initial uptake approximated biofilms but were characterized by a lower bioconcentration factor (2.8×103). Free cells, in comparison, maintained the initial slow rate of uptake (0.62 nmol mg protein–1 min–1, 10 min), saturating at 30 min (8.81 nmol mg protein–1), and the resultant lowest bioconcentration factor (2.7×103). Cell ageing (30 days) brought a drastic reduction (3-fold) in organomercury uptake by free cells while alginate spheres maintained the same potential. Foam preparations of the same age showed a significant improvement in methyl mercury uptake followed by only a marginal decline in alginate biofilms. Data are discussed in the light of the physiological efficiency and longevity of immobilized cells. 相似文献

Summary An epithelial cell line from Chironomus tentans exhibits acetylcholinesterase activity (specific activity 0.05–0.2 nkat/mg protein), which rises 30– to 40-fold after addition of 10–6
M 20-OH-ecdysone. The first visible increase occurs after 4 days of incubation with hormone. The enzyme has an apparent K

of 2.3±0.2×10–4
M for acetylthiocholine iodide as substrate and is inhibited by eserine and BW284 C51 (50% inhibition at 5×10–7
M for both inhibitiors) as well as by high concentrations of substrate, but not by tetraisopropylpyrophosphamide. The sensitivity against inhibitors is the same in extracts from hormone-treated cells and from controls. The cholinesterase activity correlates with morphological changes (shape and cell arrangement) and is indepenent of neuronal differentiation. We therefore propose a function for this activity during morphogenesis. 相似文献

Freshly isolated gonococci upon subculture are readily lysed by normal human serum although a few strains remain inherently resistant to the complement activity. The sensitive gonococci can be converted to serum resistance by incubation with a host derived factor referred to as cytidine 5-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NANA). These gonococci resist complement mediated killing due to their sialylation of an epitope structure on a component of lipo-oligosaccharide (LOS). In the present study, the kinetics of conversion to serum resistance by the action of sialyltransferase (STase) inNeisseria gonorrhoeae was followed with very low concentrations of CMP-NANA. This conversion could not be perceived at 2×10–3 nmol.ml–1 but was fully attainable from 8×10–3 to 2×10–2 nmol.ml–1 CMP-NANA. When pretreated up to 100 min in presence of the very low concentration of 2×10–3 nmol.ml–1, a potentiating effect on the conversion of gonococci by 2×10–2 nmol.ml–1 was observed in relation to the time of preincubation. This action was abolished after exposure to a subinhibitory concentration of chloramphenicol (0.5 µg.ml–1). The gonococci recovered their ability to convert to serum resistance following adequate washing. The potential for increase in STase activity should be of interest for understanding the conversion from a serum sensitive to a serum resistance state. 相似文献

Reporter marker GUS (-glucuronidase gene from Escherichia coli) and luc operon from the American firefly were introduced into cyanobacteria and the stability of these markers in soil was examined. To transfer the integrational vector into cyanobacteria, the genomic DNA library of Synechocystis sp. or Anabaena cylindrica maintained in pBR 322, pCY 100 and pCY 101 were transformed with HB 101 containing pRL 528 and selected for Cmr and Ampr. These clones of HB 101 containing pRL 528 and the vectors carrying different cyanobacterial chromosomal DNA fragments were used for triparental mating with HB 101 [pRK 2013/pRK 2073] and cyanobacteria. The frequency of transconjugants for integrational vectors was between 2.1 × 10–5 and 4.0 × 10–4. The transfer frequency of RSF 1010 based vectors (pDSK 519 and pCY 106) was 1.0–4.5 × 10–4 in Synechocystis sp. whereas A. cylindrica failed to maintain these vectors. Low frequency transfer (2.0–2.3 × 10–6) of RK 2 based vectors pVK 100 and pCY 104 was observed in A. cylindrica but these were unable to replicate in Synechocystis sp. The vectors in general were stable at least by 74.9% for 60 days of incubation in BG-11 medium. The markers were less stable in A. cylindrica (74.9–84.2%) compared to Synechocystis sp. (80.1–88.8%) at 60 days of incubation. Integrational vectors were almost 85% stable in both the strains. The RK 2 derivative of pCY 104 was less stable in A. cylindrica (74.9–77.3%) than the RSF 1010-based vector pCY 106 in Synechocystis sp. (80.1–81.0%). A maximum of 64.7% of the markers were lost in soil. The chromosomal markers through integrational vectors were found to be highly stable and 68.2–72.7% of these markers were retained in cyanobacteria at 60 days of incubation. Plasmid markers were less stable, with a loss of 64.7–48.7% at the end of the experiment. In A. cylindrica 58–65% of the RK 2 vector was lost whereas in Synechocystis sp. 49–61% of RSF 1010 was lost at 60 days of incubation. 相似文献

AxenicTrentepohlia odorata was cultured at three different NH4Cl levels (3.5 × 10–2, 3.5 × 10–3, 3.5 × 10–4 M) and three different light intensities (48, 76, 122 µmol m–2 s–1). Chloride had no effect on growth over this range of concentration. High light intensity and high NH4Cl concentration enhanced the specific growth rate. The carotenoid content increased under a combination of high light intensity and low N concentration. WhenD. bardawil was exposed to the same combination of growth conditions, there was an increase in its carotenoid content. The light saturation and the light inhibition constants (K
s andK
i, respectively) for growth, and the saturation constant (K
m) for NH4Cl were determined. TheK
s andK
i values were higher inT. odorata (66.7 and> 122 mol m–2 s–1, respectively) than inD. bardawil (5.1 and 14.7 µmol m–2 s–1, respectively). TheK
m value determined at 122 µmol m–2 s–1, however, was lower inT. odorata (0.048 µM) than inD. bardawil (0.062 µM).Author for correspondence 相似文献
