Hemibrycon
sanjuanensis, new species, is described from the upper San Juan River drainage, Pacific versant, Colombia. It is distinguished from Hemibrycon
boquiae, Hemibrycon
brevispini, Hemibrycon
cairoense, Hemibrycon
colombianus, Hemibrycon
mikrostiktos, Hemibrycon
metae, Hemibrycon
palomae, Hemibrycon
rafaelense and Hemibrycon
tridens by the presence of a circular or oblong humeral spot that is located two scales posterior to the opercle (vs. 3–4 scales in Hemibrycon
palomae, Hemibrycon
rafaelense, Hemibrycon
brevispini and Hemibrycon
cairoense, and 0–1 scales, in Hemibrycon
metae and Hemibrycon
boquiae). It further differs from Hemibrycon
colombianus in having a round or oblong humeral spot (vs. rectangular). It differs from Hemibrycon
beni, Hemibrycon

santamartae, Hemibrycon
surinamensis, Hemibrycon
taeniurus, Hemibrycon
tridens, and Hemibrycon
yacopiae in having melanophores on the posterior margins of the scales along the sides of body (vs. lacking melanophores on margins of scales along entire length of the sides of body). The new species differs from all congeners mentioned above in having, among other features, six teeth in the outer premaxillary row arranged in a straight line (vs. five or fewer teeth not arranged in straight line except Hemibrycon
cairoense with two to six teeth in the outer premaxillary row). 相似文献

The C. parapsilosis sensu lato group involves three closely related species, C. parapsilosis sensu stricto,
C
. orthopsilosis
and
C
. metapsilosis
. Although their overall clinical importance is dramatically increasing, there are few studies regarding the virulence properties of the species of the psilosis complex. In this study, we tested 63 C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, 12
C
. metapsilosis
and 18
C
. orthopsilosis
isolates for the ability to produce extracellular proteases, secrete lipases and form pseudohyphae. Significant differences were noted between species, with the
C
. metapsilosis
strains failing to secrete lipase or to produce pseudohyphae. Nine different clinical isolates each of C. parapsilosis sensu stricto,
C
. orthopsilosis
and
C
. metapsilosis
were co-cultured with immortalized murine or primary human macrophages. C. parapsilosis sensu stricto isolates showed a significantly higher resistance to killing by primary human macrophages compared to
C
. orthopsilosis
and
C
. metapsilosis
isolates. In contrast, the killing of isolates by J774.2 mouse macrophages did not differ significantly between species. However, C. parapsilosis sensu stricto isolates induced the most damage to murine and human macrophages, and
C
. metapsilosis
strains were the least toxic. Furthermore, strains that produced lipase or pseudohyphae were most resistant to macrophage-mediated killing and produced the most cellular damage. Finally, we used 9 isolates of each of the C. parapsilosis sensus lato species to examine their impact on the survival of
Galleria
mellonella
larvae. The mortality rate of
G
. mellonella
larvae infected with
C
. metapsilosis
isolates was significantly lower than those infected with C. parapsilosis sensu stricto or
C
. orthopsilosis
strains. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that
C
. metapsilosis
is indeed the least virulent member of the psilosis group, and also highlight the importance of pseudohyphae and secreted lipases during fungal-host interactions. 相似文献

The tiger beetle assemblage of the wetlands of La Mancha (central Spain) comprises nine species: Calomera
littoralis
littoralis, Cephalota
maura
maura, Cephalota
circumdata
imperialis, Cephalota
dulcinea, Cicindela
campestris
campestris, Cicindela
maroccana, Cylindera
paludosa, Lophyra
flexuosa
flexuosa, and Myriochila
melancholica
melancholica. This assemblage represents the largest concentration of tiger beetles in a single 1º latitude / longitude square in Europe. General patterns of spatial and temporal segregation among species are discussed based on observations of 1462 specimens registered during an observation period of one year, from April to August. The different species of Cicindelini appear to be distributed over space and time, with little overlapping among them. Three sets of species replace each other phenologically as the season goes on. Most of the species occupy drying or dried salt lakes and salt marshes, with sparse vegetation cover. Spatial segregation is marked in terms of substrate and vegetation use. Calomera
littoralis and Myriochila
melancholica have been observed mainly on wet soils; Cephalota
circumdata on dry open saline flats; Cephalota
dulcinea and Cylindera
paludosa in granulated substrates with typical halophytic vegetation; Cephalota
maura is often present in man-modified areas. Cephalota
circumdata and Cephalota
dulcinea are included as species of special interest in the list of protected species in Castilla–La Mancha. Conservation problems for the Cicindelini assemblage arise from agricultural activities and inadequate use of sport vehicles. Attempts at restoring the original habitat, supressing old semi-industrial structures, may affect the spatial heterogeneity of the lakes, and have an effect on Cicindelinae diversity. 相似文献

The Chinese species of the genera Omicrogiton Orchymont, 1919, Peratogonus Sharp, 1884 and Mircogioton Orchymont, 1937 are reviewed, diagnosed and keyed. Mircogioton and Omicrogiton are reported for the first time from China, Peratogonus for the first time for mainland China. Five species are recognized: Omicrogiton
coomani Balfour-Browne, 1939 (Guangdong, Hongkong), Omicrogiton
hainanensis
sp. n. (Hainan), Omicrogiton
roberti
sp. n. (Hainan), Mircogioton
coomani Orchymont, 1937 (Yunnan), and Peratogonus
reversus Sharp, 1884 (Guangdong, Jiangxi, Taiwan). Lectotype of Omicrogiton
coomani is designated. Mircogioton
cognitus (Malcolm, 1981), syn. n. is considered a junior subjective synonym of Mircogioton
coomani Orchymont, 1939. Species of Mircogioton and Omicrogiton inhabit decaying banana trunks, whereas Peratogonus
reversus was always collected from moist forest leaf litter. 相似文献

Muricea is an amphi-American genus. Verrill proposed dividing the species from the Pacific Ocean into three genera and established the genus Eumuricea for five eastern Pacific species with tubular calyces. Eumuricea is basically characterized by colonies with elongate, cylindrical calyces with truncate margins and star-like opercula, and the occurrence of unilateral spinous spindles. According to these characteristics, Eumuricea does not show enough difference from Muricea to be treated as a separate genus. Original type material of Eumuricea was morphologically analysed and illustrated using optical and scanning electron microscopy. We conclude that the eastern Pacific species should be placed in the genus Muricea and form a group characterised by tubular calyces that comprises four species at present, Muricea
acervata, Muricea
hispida, Muricea
squarrosa, and Muricea
tubigera and a dubious species Muricea
horrida. Lectotypes were designated for Muricea
squarrosa and Muricea
hispida to establish their taxonomic status. The genus Eumuricea has also been misunderstood by former authors who erroneously assigned species to it. For these species we propose new combinations: Swiftia
pusilla, Astrogorgia
splendens and Astrogorgia
ramosa. 相似文献

Methodological improvements now allow routine analyses of highly degraded DNA samples as found in museum specimens. Using these methods could be useful in studying such groups as rodents of the genus Gerbillus for which i) the taxonomy is still highly debated, ii) collection of fresh specimens may prove difficult. Here we address precise taxonomic questions using a small portion of the cytochrome b gene obtained from 45 dry skin/skull museum samples (from 1913 to 1974) originating from two African and three Asian countries. The specimens were labelled Gerbillus
gerbillus, Gerbillus
andersoni, Gerbillus
nanus, Gerbillus
amoenus, Gerbillus
perpallidus and Gerbillus
pyramidum, and molecular results mostly confirmed these assignations. The close relationship between Gerbillus
nanus (Asian origin) and Gerbillus
amoenus (African origin) confirmed that they represent vicariant sibling species which differentiated in allopatry on either side of the Red Sea. In the closely related Gerbillus
perpallidus and Gerbillus
pyramidum, specimens considered as belonging to one Gerbillus
pyramidum subspecies (Gerbillus
pyramidum
floweri) appeared closer to Gerbillus
perpallidus suggesting that they (Gerbillus
pyramidum
floweri and Gerbillus
perpallidus) may represent a unique species, distributed on both sides of the Nile River, for which the correct name should be Gerbillus
floweri. Furthermore, the three other Gerbillus
pyramidum subspecies grouped together with no apparent genetic structure suggesting that they may not yet represent genetically differentiated lineages. This study confirms the importance of using these methods on museum samples, which can open new perspectives in this particular group as well as in other groups of interest. 相似文献

The Madagascar periwinkle (
Catharanthus
roseus
in the family Apocynaceae) is an important medicinal plant and is the source of several widely marketed chemotherapeutic drugs. It is also commonly grown for its ornamental values and, due to ease of infection and distinctiveness of symptoms, is often used as the host for studies on phytoplasmas, an important group of uncultivated plant pathogens. To gain insights into the characteristics of apocynaceous plastid genomes (plastomes), we used a reference-assisted approach to assemble the complete plastome of
C
. roseus
, which could be applied to other
C
. roseus
-related studies. The
C
. roseus
plastome is the second completely sequenced plastome in the asterid order Gentianales. We performed comparative analyses with two other representative sequences in the same order, including the complete plastome of
Coffea
arabica
(from the basal Gentianales family Rubiaceae) and the nearly complete plastome of
Asclepias
syriaca
(Apocynaceae). The results demonstrated considerable variations in gene content and plastome organization within Apocynaceae, including the presence/absence of three essential genes (i.e., accD, clpP, and ycf1) and large size changes in non-coding regions (e.g., rps2-rpoC2 and IRb-ndhF). To find plastome markers of potential utility for
Catharanthus
breeding and phylogenetic analyses, we identified 41
C
. roseus
-specific simple sequence repeats. Furthermore, five intergenic regions with high divergence between
C
. roseus
and three other euasterids I taxa were identified as candidate markers. To resolve the euasterids I interordinal relationships, 82 plastome genes were used for phylogenetic inference. With the addition of representatives from Apocynaceae and sampling of most other asterid orders, a sister relationship between Gentianales and Solanales is supported. 相似文献

Endophytic fungi from three commonly found seagrasses in southern Thailand were explored for their ability to produce antimicrobial metabolites. One hundred and sixty endophytic fungi derived from
Cymodocea
serrulata
(Family Cymodoceaceae),
Halophila
ovalis
and
Thalassia
hemprichii
(Family Hydrocharitaceae) were screened for production of antimicrobial compounds by a colorimetric broth microdilution test against ten human pathogenic microorganisms including Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, a clinical isolate of methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Escherichia coli ATCC 25923, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Candida albicans ATCC 90028 and NCPF 3153, Cryptococcus neoformans ATCC 90112 and ATCC 90113 and clinical isolates of
Microsporum
gypseum
and
Penicillium
marneffei
. Sixty-nine percent of the isolates exhibited antimicrobial activity against at least one test strain. Antifungal activity was more pronounced than antibacterial activity. Among the active fungi, seven isolates including Hypocreales sp. PSU-ES26 from
C
. serrulata
,
Trichoderma
spp. PSU-ES8 and PSU-ES38 from
H
. ovalis
, and
Penicillium
sp. PSU-ES43,
Fusarium
sp. PSU-ES73,
Stephanonectria
sp. PSU-ES172 and an unidentified endophyte PSU-ES190 from
T
. hemprichii
exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against human pathogens with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of less than 10 µg/ml. The inhibitory extracts at concentrations of 4 times their MIC destroyed the targeted cells as observed by scanning electron microscopy. These results showed the antimicrobial potential of extracts from endophytic fungi from seagrasses. 相似文献

The taxonomic position of two antarctic dorylaimid species Amblydorylaimus
isokaryon (Loof, 1975) Andrássy, 1998 and Pararhyssocolpus
paradoxus (Loof, 1975), gen. n., comb. n. are discussed on the basis of morphological, including SEM study, morphometric, postembryonic and sequence data of 18S rDNA and the D2-D3 expansion fragments of large subunit rDNA. The evolutionary trees inferred from 18S sequences show insufficient resolution to determine the assignment of the two species to particular families, moreover Pararhyssocolpus
paradoxus
gen. n., comb. n. (=Rhyssocolpus
paradoxus) previously regarded as a member of Nordiidae or Qudsianematidae, showed distant relationship both to Rhyssocolpus
vinciguerrae and Eudorylaimus spp. The phylogram inferred from 28S sequences revealed that Amblydorylaimus
isokaryon is a member of a well-supported group comprised of several Aporcelaimellus spp., while, no close relationships could be revealed for the Pararhyssocolpus
paradoxus
gen. n., comb. n. to any nematode genus. On the basis of molecular data and morphological characteristics, some taxonomic changes are proposed. Amblydorylaimus
isokaryon is transferred from family Qudsianematidae to family Aporcelaimidae, and a new monotypic genus Pararhyssocolpus
gen. n. is proposed, attributed to Pararhyssocolpidae
fam. n. The diagnosis of the new family is provided together with emended diagnosis of the genera Amblydorylaimus and Pararhyssocolpus
gen. n. Data concerning distribution of these endemic genera in the Antarctic region are also given. 相似文献
