Thambus planifrons Muona & Meng sp. nov. and Otho rutriclypeus Muona & Meng sp. nov. are described from China. Both genera are recorded for the first time from China. Except for the European T. friwaldszkyi Bonvouloir, 1871, and the Japanese T. curvicaria Hisamatsu, 1956, all other previously known species belonging to Otho were from the Americas. Eight Otho species have been described from disparate parts of Asia earlier.urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:10B667F6-F11E-454B-9653-D66A2D7ABFA1.  相似文献

Solutions of 1,2-O-acetoxonium chlorides derived from O-acetylated D-allopyranose derivatives were treated with sodium borohydride to give three pairs of previously unknown 1,2-O-ethylidene-α-D-allopyranose diastereoisomers: 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-O-ethylidene-α-D-allopyranoses; 4,6-di-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-ethylidene-α-D-allopyranoses; and 3-O-benzyl-1,2:4,6-di-O-ethylidene-α-D-allopyranoses. Examples of a second class of novel O-ethylidene-D-allopyranoses, the diastereoisomeric methyl 2,3:4,6-di-O-ethylidene-α-D-allopyranosides, were prepared by treating methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-alloside with acetaldehyde-sulfuric acid. Assignments of dioxolane ring configurations and pyranose conformations were made by n.m.r. analyses.  相似文献

ObjectiveSeveral studies on associations between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele frequencies and susceptibility to systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been reported. Anti-centromere antibodies (ACA) and anti-topoisomerase I antibodies (ATA) are found in SSc patients. Here, we sought to identify HLA alleles associated with SSc in Japanese, and explored their associations with SSc phenotypes including the presence of autoantibodies.MethodsAssociations of HLA-DRB1, DQB1, and DPB1 were analyzed in 463 Japanese SSc patients and 413 controls.ResultsWe found that DRB1*13:02 (P = 0.0011, Pc = 0.0319, odds ratio [OR] 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.29–0.73), DRB1*14:06 (P = 6.60X10-5, Pc = 0.0020, OR 0.05, 95%CI 0.01–0.41), DQB1*03:01 (P = 0.0009, Pc = 0.0150, OR 0.56, 95%CI 0.40–0.79), and DPB1*02:01 (P = 5.16X10-6, Pc = 8.77X10-5, OR 0.52, 95%CI 0.39–0.69) were protectively associated with SSc. In addition, these four alleles seemed to be independently associated with the protection against the susceptibility of SSc. On the other hand, we could not find predisposing alleles for overall SSc. With respect to SSc subsets, a tendency for these four alleles to be protectively associated was observed. However, there was a significant association between DRB1*01:01, DRB1*10:01, DQB1*05:01, and DPB1*04:02 and the susceptibility to SSc with ACA. On the other hand, the presence of DRB1*15:02, DQB1*06:01, DPB1*03:01, and DPB1*09:01 was associated with SSc with ATA.ConclusionThus, the present study has identified protective associations of the four HLA class II alleles with overall Japanese SSc and predisposing associations of HLA class II alleles with Japanese SSc subsets.  相似文献

Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar 4,[5],12:i:- (S. 4,[5]12:i:-) is believed to be a monophasic variant of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). This study was conducted to corroborate this hypothesis and to identify the molecular and phenotypic characteristics of the S. 4,[5]12:i:- isolates in Japan. A total of 51 S. 4,[5]12:i:- isolates derived from humans, cattle, swine, chickens, birds, meat (pork), and river water in 15 prefectures in Japan between 2000 and 2010 were analyzed. All the S. 4,[5],12:i:- isolates were identified as S. Typhimurium by two different polymerase chain reactions (PCR) for identification of S. Typhimurium. Of the 51 S. 4,[5],12:i:- isolates, 39 (76.5%) harbored a 94-kb virulence plasmid, which is known to be specific for S. Typhimurium. These data suggest that the S. 4,[5],12:i:- isolates are monophasic variants of S. Typhimurium. The flagellar phase variation is induced by three adjacent genes (fljA, fljB, and hin) in the chromosome. The results of PCR mapping of this region and comparative genomic hybridization analysis suggested that the deletion of the fljAB operon and its flanking region was the major genetic basis of the monophasic phenotype of S. 4,[5],12:i:-. The fljAB operon and hin gene were detectable in eight of the S. 4,[5],12:i:- isolates with common amino acid substitutions of A46T in FljA and R140L in Hin. The introduction of these mutations into S. Typhimurium isolates led to the loss of selectability of isolates expressing the phase 2 H antigen. These data suggested that a point mutation was the genetic basis, at least in part, of the S. 4,[5],12:i:- isolates. The results of phenotypic analysis suggested that the S. 4,[5],12:i:- isolates in Japan consist of multiple distinct clones. This is the first detailed characterization of the S. 4,[5],12:i:- isolates derived from various sources across Japan.  相似文献

We compared population suppression of the phytophagous mites, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida and Panonychus citri (McGregor), on papaya by second instar larvae of the green lacewing, Mallada basalis (Walker), at various predator:prey release ratios in the laboratory. Initially, we presented M. basalis with mixed age classes of each mite species separately at a density of approximately 30 mites per seedling. After 3 days, predator:prey ratios of 1:30, 1:15, and 1:10 resulted in reductions of T. kanzawai of 66.8%, 82.6%, and 83.3%, respectively, and reductions of P. citri of 41.8%, 75.5%, and 77.2%, respectively. Predation on individual age classes was approximately equal in both species, reinforcing previous findings that this predator does not show a preference among age classes. We next presented M. basalis with mixed populations of the two mite species in which there were equal numbers of each species and the density was as in the single species tests. Total mite reduction with both mite species present was 48.5%, 71.9%, and 74.5% at ratios of 1:30, 1:15, and 1:10, respectively; T. kanzawai was reduced by 50.5%, 77.4%, and 79.5%, respectively, and P. citri was reduced by 44.1%, 60.3%, and 63.2%, respectively. This study suggests that M. basalis has the potential for substantially suppressing populations of both T. kanzawai and P. citri on papaya at a predator:prey ratio of 1:15 or greater. However, evaluation under realistic agricultural settings is needed before specific recommendations about predator release rates can be made.  相似文献

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar 1,4,[5],12:i:- is a monophasic variant of Salmonella Typhimurium, which has recently been recognized as an emerging cause of infection worldwide. This bacterium has also ranked among the four most frequent serovars causing human salmonellosis in China. However, there are no reports on its contamination in Chinese food. Serotyping, polymerase chain reaction, antibiotic resistance, virulotyping, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) assays were used to investigate the prevalence of this serological variant in food products in China, and to determine phenotypic and genotypic difference of monophasic isolates and Salmonella Typhimurium isolated over the same period. Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- was prevalent in various food sources, including beef, pork, chicken, and pigeon. The study also confirmed the high prevalence (53.8%) of resistance to ampicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline in Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:-, which was higher than that in Salmonella Typhimurium. Moreover, Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- isolates in our study were different from Salmonella Typhimurium isolates by the absence of three plasmid-borne genes (spvC, pefA, and rck) and the presence of gipA in all isolates. All Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- isolates demonstrated MLST pattern ST34. Genomic deletions within the fljBA operon and surrounding genes were only found in Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- isolates, with all isolates containing a deletion of fljB. However, hin and iroB were identified in all Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- isolates. Three different deletion profiles were observed and two of them were different from the reported Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- clones from Spain, America, and Italy, which provided some new evidence on the independent evolution of the multiple successful monophasic clones from Salmonella Typhimurium ancestors. This study is the first report of Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- in food products from China. The data are more comprehensive and representative, providing valuable information for epidemiological studies, risk management, and public health strategies.  相似文献

Factors affecting microbial aerobic biodegradation of 6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol [6:2 FTOH, F(CF2)6CH2CH2OH] were investigated using three alkane-degrading bacteria (Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5, Pseudomonas oleovorans, and Pseudomonas butanovora) and one fluoroacetate-degrading bacterium (Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 8341). In the presence of formate (an external reducing energy source), P. fluorescens DSM 8341 produced perfluorobutanoic acid by removing three –CF2– groups from 6:2 FTOH. Only P. fluorescens DSM 8341 transformed 5:3 acid to 4:3 acid and perfluoropentanoic acid. However, formate showed no effects on the degradation rates, patterns, or transformation products of 6:2 FTOH by M. vaccae JOB5. When dicyclopropylketone (an alkane hydroxylase inducer) or formate was added, P. oleovorans rapidly degraded 6:2 FTOH and produced PFPeA. In the presence of lactate, P. butanovora degraded 6:2 FTOH slowly but produced diverse metabolites. Our results demonstrate that the extent and mechanisms of 6:2 FTOH biotransformation are affected by strain types, enzyme inducers, and levels of reducing energy.  相似文献

Critical N:P values: Predicting nutrient deficiencies in desert shrublands   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Drenovsky  R.E.  Richards  J.H. 《Plant and Soil》2004,259(1-2):59-69
Many terrestrial ecosystems are nutrient limited. Koerselman and Meuleman (1996) proposed critical foliar N:P values that could predict wetland nutrient deficiencies (N:P < 14, N limitation; N:P > 16, P limitation). Although critical N:P values have potential as ecological and diagnostic tools, species differences in N and P requirements must be tested. The objectives of our experiments were 1) to determine if two desert species share critical N:P values, and 2) to assess the N:P tool's applicability in a non-wetland system. We studied two common, co-occurring North American desert shrubs, Chrysothamnus nauseosus spp. consimilis and Sarcobatus vermiculatus. Based on leaf N and P concentrations, effective mycorrhizal status, and leaf N:P, we predicted Chrysothamnus would be N limited and Sarcobatus would be P limited. During the 2000 and 2001 growing seasons, juvenile shrubs received N, P, N+P, or control treatments. To assess interaction with water limitation, other shrubs were irrigated and fertilized in 2001 (N+IR, P+IR, N+P+IR, control IR). Contrary to the predicted N limitation in Chrysothamnus, stem growth was 1.7-fold greater in P+IR plants relative to IR controls, although without irrigation Chrysothamnus did not respond to P addition. Also, contrary to the predicted P limitation in Sarcobatus, stem growth was 2.7-fold and 1.5-fold greater in N and N+IR plants, respectively, relative to their controls. Leaf N was significantly higher in N-treated Sarcobatus, both with and without irrigation. Our study suggests species-specific critical N:P values and that the N:P tool does not effectively predict desert shrub nutrient limitations. Species adapted to low nutrient conditions may not respond to increased nutrient availability due to water and nutrient co-limitation, lack of plasticity, or lower tissue nutrient requirements.  相似文献

Simulium (Gomphostilbia) agasthyamalaiense sp. nov. is described based on adults, pupae and mature larvae from a medium-flowing stream of Southern Western Ghats, India. This new species is placed in the Simulium batoense species-group of the subgenus Gomphostilbia Enderlein. This new species is characterized in the female by a scutum with three brownish-black longitudinal vittae and the hind basitarsus 5.7 times as long as wide; in the female by the large facets of upper eye with 20 vertical columns and 19 horizontal rows; in the pupa the respiratory gill with medium-long common basal stalk; and in the larva arrowhead-shaped postgenal cleft. Taxonomic notes are provided for this new species and it can be distinguished from closely related species of S. (G.) peteri. Keys are constructed to distinguish this species from ten species of the batoense species-group recorded in India.www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1D1CFEE5-A762-4F68-9EAE-9E31133146C0  相似文献

The mite Petalomium camponoti Hajiqanbar & Khaustov sp. n. (Acari: Prostigmata: Neopygmephoridae) is described based on females recovered from ants Camponotus buddhae Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) which were collected from a nest located on heights near Shirvan city, northeastern Iran. We also found Petalomium gottrauxi Mahunka, 1977 associated with Camponotus aethiops Latreille from the same locality. These findings present the first record of the genus Petalomium Cross from Iran. A key to species of the genus Petalomium associated with ant genus Camponotus Mayr is presented and host range of the Petalomium is discussed.  相似文献

Five autoagglutinating Aeromonas hydrophila isolates recovered from eels and humans were assigned to serogroups O:14 and O:81 of the Sakazaki and Shimada (National Institutes of Health) scheme. They had the following properties in common: positive precipitation after boiling, moderate surface hydrophobicity (salt-aggregation-test value around 1.2), pathogenicity for fish and mice (50% lethal dose, 104.61 to 107.11), lipopolysaccharides that contained O-polysaccharide chains of homogeneous chain length, and an external S layer peripheral to the cell wall observed by electron microscopy. A strong cross-reactivity was detected by immunoblotting between the homogeneous O-polysaccharide fraction of O:14 and O:81 strains but not between them and the lipopolysaccharide of A. hydrophila TF7 (O:11 reference strain). Outer membrane fractions of these strains contained a predominant 53- to 54-kDa protein which was glycine extractable under low-pH (pH 2.8) conditions and was identified as the surface array protein. The S-layer proteins of the O:14 and O:81 A. hydrophila strains seemed to be primarily different from those previously purified from strains A. hydrophila TF7 and Aeromonas salmonicida A450 on the basis of colony hybridizations with both the structural genes vapA and ahsA. This is the first report of the presence of an S layer in mesophilic Aeromonas strains not belonging to serogroup O:11.  相似文献

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains belonging to serotypes O157:H7, O26:H11, O103:H2, O111:H8, and O145:H28 are known to be associated with particular subtypes of the intimin gene (eae), namely, γ1, β1, ε, θ, and γ1, respectively. This study aimed at evaluating the usefulness of their detection for the specific detection of these five main pathogenic STEC serotypes in cattle feces. Using real-time PCR assays, 58.7% of 150 fecal samples were found positive for at least one of the four targeted eae subtypes. The simultaneous presence of stx, eae, and one of the five O group markers was found in 58.0% of the samples, and the five targeted stx plus eae plus O genetic combinations were detected 143 times. However, taking into consideration the association between eae subtypes and O group markers, the resulting stx plus eae subtype plus O combinations were detected only 46 times. The 46 isolation assays performed allowed recovery of 22 E. coli strains belonging to one of the five targeted STEC serogroups. In contrast, only 2 of 39 isolation assays performed on samples that were positive for stx, eae and an O group marker, but that were negative for the corresponding eae subtype, were successful. Characterization of the 24 E. coli isolates showed that 6 were STEC, including 1 O157:H7, 3 O26:H11, and 2 O145:H28. The remaining 18 strains corresponded to atypical enteropathogenic E. coli (aEPEC). Finally, the more discriminating eae subtype-based PCR strategy described here may be helpful for the specific screening of the five major STEC in cattle feces.  相似文献

The concentration-dependent metabolism of 1-14C-labelled precursors of 22:5n-6 and 22:6n-3 was compared in rat testis cells. The amounts of [14C]22- and 24-carbon metabolites were measured by HPLC. The conversion of [1-14C]20:5n-3 to [3-14C]22:6n-3 was more efficient than that of [1-14C]20:4n-6 to [3-14C]22:5n-6. At low substrate concentration (4 μM) it was 3.4 times more efficient, reduced to 2.3 times at high substrate concentration (40 μM). The conversion of [1-14C]22:5n-3 to [1-14C]22:6n-3 was 1.7 times more efficient than that of [1-14C]22:4n-6 to [1-14C]22:5n-6 using a low, but almost equally efficient using a high substrate concentration. When unlabelled 20:5n-3 was added to a cell suspension incubated with [1-14C]20:4n-6 or unlabelled 22:5n-3 to a cell suspension incubated with [1-14C]22:4n-6, the unlabelled n-3 fatty acids strongly inhibited the conversion of [1-14C]20:4n-6 or [1-14C]22:4n-6 to [14C]22:5n-6. In the reciprocal experiment, unlabelled 20:4n-6 and 22:4n-6 only weakly inhibited the conversion of [1-14C]20:5n-3 and [1-14C]22:5n-3 to [14C]22:6n-3. The results indicate that if both n-6 and n-3 fatty acids are present, the n-3 fatty acids are preferred over the n-6 fatty acids in the elongation from 20- to 22- and from 22- to 24-carbon atom fatty acids. In vivo the demand for 22-carbon fatty acids for spermatogenesis in the rat may exceed the supply of n-3 precursors and thus facilitate the formation of 22:5n-6 from the more abundant n-6 precursors.  相似文献

The carbon chain of 1,6-dibromo-1,6-dideoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-d-mannitol was elongated via reaction with sodium cyanide to give the 1,6-dicyanide. Hydrolysis and esterification then gave dimethyl 2,7-dideoxy-4,5-O-isopropylidene-d-manno-octarate, treatment of which with 2,2-dimethoxypropane and an acid catalyst gave dimethyl 2,7-dideoxy-3,6:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-d-manno-octarate. Reduction of the terminal methoxycarbonyl groups then gave 2,7-dideoxy-3,6:4,5- di-O-isopropylidene-d-manno-octitol, which was converted into 1,4:5,8-dianhydro- 3,6-diazido-2,3,6,7-tetradeoxy-l-manno- and -l-ido-octitol.  相似文献
