Protoplasts were isolated from Ulva rigida C. Agardh (Chlorophyta) and two species of Rhodophyta , Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis ( Bory) Dawson, Acleto et Folvik and Gracilaria tenuistipitata Chang et Xia var . liui with minor modifications (the inclusion of 0.01% agarase in the set of cell-wall-degrading enzymes for the two red algae). Flow cytometric characteristics of freshly isolated protoplasts were determined on a FACScan flow cytometer (FC). The most useful parameters for characterizing protoplasts from marine algae were forward angle light scatter (FSC), orange fluorescence (FL2) and red fluorescence (FL3). Protoplasts from all the species were easily distinguishable when their FSC, FL2, and FL3 signals were combined in the bivariate plots FL3 vs. FSC and FL3 us. FL2. Two alternative techniques to help identify protoplasts from debris in the FC computer screen were developed (for FC without sorting capability). Both techniques were based on the ability of new FCs to record time. The first one was based on the induction of rapid changes of cell volume in response to osmotic stress. Only intact protoplasts responded to changes in the osmotic pressure. The second one was based on the uptake and hydrolysis of fluorescein diacetate by intracellular esterases. Viable protoplasts showed a hyperbolic accumulation of fluorescein with time. Semimaximal fluorescein accumulation was attained in 30.5 ± 9.5 s. Debris was easily recognized since, contrary to protoplasts, it did not show a time-dependent accumulation of fluorescein . 相似文献

Bacterial protoplasts are widely used in genetical research, for instance, in protoplasts fusion experiments and the transfer of heterologous DNA into bacterial cells. The usage of a new fresh grown culture of bacteria in every experiment restricts the reproducibility of the results preventing the technique becoming widespread. The use of antioxidants as components of stabilizing medium for sublimation drying of Bacillus megaterium cells supported cellular viability in bacterial culture. It also made possible preservation of such cellular fundamental properties as the ability to form protoplasts and regenerate the cell wall. Efficiencies of protoplasts formation and generation are similar for lyophilized and fresh grown cells. Cellular properties are conserved for 6 months of storage at least. Experiments with a lot of lyophilized biomass samples are highly reproducible. The potential of the technique was demonstrated in obtaining the hybrid Bacillus megaterium colonies by fusion of protoplasts derived from lyophilized genetically marked strains stored for up to 6 months. 相似文献

Protoplasts were successfully isolated for the first time fromthe filamentous protonemal cells of ferns after the cells werecultured in contact with both air and medium. Sterilized sporesof Adiantum capillus-veneris and Pteris vittata were inoculatedon a piece of nylon mesh (40- {diaeresis}m mesh) placed on amat of polyester fibers which was soaked in liquid culture medium,and the spores were illuminated from above with continuous redlight. Protonemal cells, exposed to the air during this procedure,could be stained with Calcofluor White, a dye that binds tocell walls. Protoplasts were easily isolated from these protonemalcells by digestion of the cell wall with cellulase and pectinase.A total of 0.81.9 x 104 and 0.62.0 x 104 protoplastswere obtained from protonemata that originated from 10 mg ofdry spores of Adiantum and of Pteris respectively. Viability,as judged by staining with fluorescein diacetate was more than90% for both species. Staining with 4'6-diamidino-2-phenylindole(DAPI) revealed that about half of the protoplasts of both speciescontained a nucleus. (Received May 22, 1989; Accepted September 5, 1989) 相似文献

Protoplasts were isolated from female gametophytes of Chondrus crispus (Stackh.) using commercial cellulase and various carrageenases prepared from marine bacteria. Depending on the nature of the donor tissue (apices or whole thallus, wild or cultivated strains), yields ranged from 1.0–8.5×108 protoplasts per gram of fresh tissue. Preincubating the tissue with a potassium chelator, Kryptofix 222, enhanced protoplast yields by 30–50 %. Based on staining with fluorescein diacetate most protoplasts were viable. A few protoplasts regenerated a cell wall and divided. 相似文献

Ester precursors of fluorogenic or chromogenic probes are often employed in studies of yeast cell biology. This study was aimed at a comparison of the ability of several commonly used laboratory wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains to hydrolyse the following model esters: fluorescein diacetate, 2-naphthyl acetate, PNPA (p-nitrophenyl acetate) and AMQI (7-acetoxy-1-methylquinolinum iodide). In all the strains, the esterase activity was localized mainly to the cytosol. Considerable differences in esterase activity were observed between various wild-type laboratory yeast strains. The phase of growth also contributed to the variation in esterase activity of the yeast. This diversity implies the need for caution in using intracellularly hydrolysed probes for a comparison of yeast strains with various genetic backgrounds. 相似文献

Two-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy – a new tool for the determination of plant cell viability
R. Vaňková G. Kuncová J. Opatrná H. Süssenbeková A. Gaudinová T. Vaněk 《Plant cell reports》2001,20(1):41-47
Two-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy (2D-FS) has been used as a new method for determining the viability of tobacco
cells (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Both horizontal beam geometry and a vertical set-up achieved with bifurcated fibres were tested. The latter arrangement
enabled us to avoid the negative effect of cell sedimentation. Incubation of a tobacco BY-2 cell suspension with dimethylsulfoxide
(DMSO) (0–10% v/v) resulted in cell samples differing in their viability – from fully viable (0–2% DMSO) to totally non-viable
(8–10%DMSO). The validity of determining viability by means of measuring cell esterase activity by 2D-FS using fluorescein
diacetate as a fluorogenic substrate was verified by comparison with microscopic evaluation of fluorescein fluorescence as
well as with the routinely adopted trypan blue exclusion test.

Maximum uptake of liposome-encapsulated fluorescein diacetate by Daucus carota protoplasts was observed when 6 × 106 protoplasts per milliliter were incubated with 2.4 × 107 liposomes per milliliter for 1 hour. In the case of Nicotiana glutinosa protoplasts, optimum ratio of protoplasts to liposomes was 1:10, where 2.3 × 105 protoplasts per milliliter were provided. Neutral and positive liposomes were found to be efficient vehicles to transfer their contents into plant protoplasts. When protoplasts treated with liposomes were cultured in a synthetic medium for 1 week, 20% resumed cell divisions. 相似文献

Hydrolysis of an artificial fluorogenic substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-N-acetylglucosaminide, has been studied in a monoculture predator-prey system with either a flagellate (Bodo saltans) or a ciliate (Cyclidium sp.) fed upon pure bacterial culture (Aeromonas hydrophila or Alcaligenes xylosoxidans). Aeromonas hydrophila produced a low-affinity beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-like enzyme (K(m), >100 mumol liter) but Alcaligenes xylosoxidans did not. Inoculation of both bacterial strains with bacterivorous protozoa induced the occurrence of another, high-affinity, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-like enzyme (K(m), <0.5 mumol liter). The latter enzyme showed significant, close correlations with total grazing rates of both B. saltans (r = 0.96) and Cyclidium sp. (r = 0.89) estimated by using uptake of fluorescently labelled bacteria. Further significant correlations between several protozoan parameters and kinetic parameters of this enzyme suggest its likely protozoan origin. If both types of enzyme occurred together, they could be satisfactorily distinguished by using kinetic data analysis. Hence, measurements of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-like activities might be promising to use to improve estimations of protozoan bacterivory. 相似文献

Detection of acid-beta-galactosidase activity in viable human fibroblasts by flow cytometry 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The fluorogenic substrate fluorescein-di-beta-D-galactopyranoside was used to detect acid beta-galactosidase in intact cultured human fibroblasts. The accumulation of intracellular fluorescein, as measured by flow cytophotometry was linear with the incubation time in three control strains. The two fibroblast strains from patients with acid beta-galactosidase deficiency did not show an accumulation of intracellular fluorescence. Within one control cell population there was a positive correlation between the amount of accumulated intracellular fluorescein fluorescence and the specific acid beta-galactosidase activity as measured biochemically on sorted cells from different zones of the fluorescence distribution. No correlation was found between the specific acid beta-galactosidase activity and the fluorescein fluorescence of three different control cell strains. 相似文献

Forefields of two receding glaciers were sampled along either a 150 or 200 m long transect at identical spatial intervals for assessment of soil microbial activity and community diversity trends. The forefields belonged to the Dammaglacier (forefield area is 157 ha, 2000 m above sea level) and Rotfirnglacier (100 ha, 2200 m) and at the time of sampling were receding at an estimated rate of 8 and 10 m yr(-1) over the past 5 years, respectively. Direct counting of bacteria (DAPI staining), assessment of dehydrogenase activity (DH), and fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis activity (FDA) were performed to estimate bacteria number and soil microbial activity. Along the Dammaglacier forefield (from youngest to oldest soil), bacteria number (8.21 x 10(7) to 1.49 x 10(9) cells g(-1) soil), DH activity (0 to 61 mg TTC reduced g(-1) soil h(-1)), and FDA activity (0 to 100 mg fluorescein produced g-1 soil h-1) increased, suggesting the development of microbial populations increasing in number and activity. The Rotfirn forefield exhibited similar trends per gram of soil in bacteria number (1.13 x 10(8) to 5.93 x 10(9) cells), DH activity (0 to 36 mg TTC reduced), and FDA activity (2 to 70 mg fluorescein produced), but with more variability among samples than the Damma forefield samples. Molecular assessment of bacterial diversity included denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA) of soil DNA. DGGE and RISA revealed that the composition and succession of bacterial populations were different in both forefields. Comparison of Shannon diversity index values indicated that all populations sampled from the Damma forefield were significantly different (p < 0.05). Conversely, similar populations existed in the Rotfirn forefield succession. Overall, the results indicate that diverse bacterial assemblages increasing in number and activity characterize these glacier forefield soils with both forefield successions exhibiting differing modes of bacterial community establishment. 相似文献

A flow cytometric method has been developed for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the biological activities of phytotoxins from plant pathogenic fungi. The method utilized fresh wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaf protoplast preparations treated with purified phytotoxins, triticone A-B and triticone D. Subsequently, protoplasts were exposed to fluorescein diacetate, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Information acquired included fluorescence owing to esterase activity on fluorescein diacetate, and chlorophyll autofluorescence. Results indicate that triticone A-B has a rapid dose-dependent toxic effect on wheat protoplasts but triticone D has no toxic effect. This method can also yield information on the mechanism of action of phytotoxins that are relatively unstable or available only in small quantities. 相似文献

Protoplasts from the cells of mature embryo sacs (ES-protoplasts) of Torenia fournieri were obtained during incubation of ovules in an enzyme solution. Four protoplasts which arose from each embryo sac were connected together after isolation, or aggregates of the egg cell protoplast and two synergide protoplasts dissociated from the protoplast of the central cell. The ES-protoplasts stayed viable for 2 weeks in culture, but they did not regenerate cell walls.Abbreviations ES

Isolation of cells and protoplasts from leaves of in vitro propagated peach (Prunus persica) plants 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Yields of 106–108 peach mesophyll cells and protoplasts · gfw-1 were obtained depending on factors such as digesting enzymes, and leaf size. Onozuka R-10 (2%) in combination with Macerase (0.5%) was found best for protoplast isolation and mediocre for cell isolation among several enzyme combinations tested. Viability was 90% for protoplasts and 60% for cells. Pectolyase Y23 was found to be ineffective in our investigation. Small leaves, 4–10 mm in length, were a superior source for protoplast isolation than medium or big expanded leaves, 22–30 mm in length. The high yields of protoplasts could be obtained only when keeping the ratio of leaf biomass to volume of digesting enzyme solution under 20 mg ml-1. Purification of protoplasts on a sucrose gradient yielded about 107 protoplasts · gfw-1, however, the preparation was still contaminated by intact cells. Protoplasts were cultured under different growth regulators and physical conditions. Limited growth and division of protoplasts embedded in agarose drops were observed.Abbreviations BA

Viable protoplasts were isolated from apices of the agarophyte Gelidium robustum (Gardn.) Hollenb. & Abb. using a combination of commercial cell-wall degrading enzymes and extracellular wall-degrading enzymes isolated from a marine bacterium. The protoplasts were approximately 8–15 µm in diameter, liberated mainly from the surface cell layers and from cells at the distal ends of medullary filaments. The bacterial enzyme alone was not sufficient to liberate significant numbers of protoplasts. Maximum yield was 9 × 105 protoplasts/g tissue (wet wt.). Optimum osmolality occurred between 1750–1950 mOs kg–1; yield and viability were severely diminished at osmolalities less than 1350 mOs kg–1. Viability, as determined by flurorescein diacetate staining and Evans Blue exclusion 1 hr after removal from the enzyme solution, was approximately 80–95%. Roughly 80% of the cells did not show Calcofluor fluorescence, while 40% stained positively for the presence of sulfated polysaccharides. Cell wall regeneration was observed with inconsistent reproducibility, and no cell division was observed when the protoplasts were placed in culture medium.Dedicated to the memory of Professor Michael Neushul. 相似文献

The protease which initiates the massive protein degradation early in bacterial spore germination has been purified from Bacillus megaterium spores. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 160,000 and contains four apparently identical subunits, but only the tetramer is enzymatically active. A radioimmunoassay has been developed for this enzyme and has been used to show that the protease is absent from growing cells, but appears early in sporulation within the developing forespore. In contrast, the protease antigen disappears rapidly during spore germination, in parallel with the loss in enzyme activity. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The Cellscan mark-S (CS-S) scanning cytometer was used for tracing enzymatic reactions in the same individual cells under various physiological conditions over periods of minutes. On-line reagent addition and changes in the experimental conditions (buffers, ions, substrates and inhibitors) were performed. METHODS: Kinetic events were monitored by fluorescence intensity (FI) and fluorescence polarization (FP) measurements of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and chloromethyl fluorescein diacetate (CMFDA) intracellular hydrolysis. FP measurements have been used to assess the intracellular marker's mobility restrictions. RESULTS: Kinetic measurement along 1000 s of FDA labeled individual Jurkat T cells, indicated variation of 65% for FI(t) and approximately 10% for FP(t). While FI increased linearly with time, FP(t) decreased nonlinearly and asymptotically, reaching a constant value. The FP(t) of CMFDA-labeled cells was different from that of FDA-labeled cells. Average cellular Km of 3.9 microM was calculated from individual cell FDA hydrolysis curves. CONCLUSIONS: (1) Analysis of the reaction kinetics of intracellular enzymes can be refined by using FP measurements of the products of fluorogenic substrates in addition to the FI measurements. (2) Subpopulations or individual cells could be classified according to their reaction rates. (3) A specific dependence of FP(t) on type of enzyme substrate is suggested. 相似文献

The carbonyl-conjugated pentaenes flavofungin, nigrofungin and flavopentin exhibit considerable lytic activity toward Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Bacillus megaterium protoplasts. The antibiotics at concentrations of 5 to 14 microgram/ml cause lysis of 50% of the protoplasts within 15 min of their incubation. The antibiotics inhibit the activity of NADH oxidase and malate oxidase by 50% in the lysates of Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Bacillus megaterium protoplasts at concentrations of 30 to 50 microgram/ml; preincubation of the lysates with the antibiotics intensify the inhibiting action of the polyenes. Growth of the bacteria is inhibited when the minimal concentration of the polyenes is 75 to 100 microgram/ml. Interaction of the polyenes with bacterial membranes lacking sterols indicates that resistance of at least some bacteria to polyenes is caused by impermeability of the cell wall for these substances rather than by the absence of sterols in the membranes. 相似文献

Bacillus megaterium is a potential bioremediation and biocontrol agent. The accumulation of reserve polymers, such as poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), increases survival of B. megaterium in water. We used wild-type strains of this species and mutant strains deficient in PHB synthesis in soil microcosms for testing the hypothesis that differences in survival capabilities and spore quality between strains is maintained in heterogeneous environments enriched with organic matter. No differences in survival between strains, nor a decrease in bacterial cell numbers were observed in sterile soil microcosms. In non-sterile soil, the total cell number (vegetative cells plus spores) of the PHB wild-type strain was 3.5 times higher than that of the PHB-negative mutant. We suggest that for predictive purposes, validation of survival in a variety of conditions is necessary. 相似文献
