丛枝菌根真菌根外菌丝跨膜H~+和Ca~(2+)流对干旱胁迫的响应

丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)能够和大多数陆地植物形成共生体系,对于植物生长发育和适应各种逆境胁迫具有重要作用。很多研究表明干旱胁迫下AMF能够促进宿主植物对水分的吸收从而增强植物抗旱能力,但目前针对AMF根外菌丝响应水分胁迫的生理变化以及AMF与宿主植物逆境信号交流的研究并不多。该研究利用AMF Rhizophagus irregularis和胡萝卜(Daucus carota var. sativa)毛状根双重无菌培养体系获得纯净根外菌丝,向培养基添加聚乙二醇(PEG)模拟干旱胁迫,运用场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM-EDS)观察干旱胁迫对AMF根外菌丝形态的影响,同时采用非损伤微测技术(NMT)观测根外菌丝跨膜H+和Ca~(2+)离子流变化。结果发现,PEG处理1h后菌丝尖端和侧面发生H+外流和强烈的Ca~(2+)内流,荧光探针分析也显示菌丝胞内pH值显著上升、Ca~(2+)浓度增加; PEG处理24 h后菌丝形态发生明显变化,培养基pH值降低, P、Ca、Fe等元素在菌丝际积累。这些试验结果表明,干旱胁迫下AMF根外菌丝跨膜H+和Ca~(2+)流发生变化,促进了菌丝与环境之间的物质交换。菌丝酸化生长环境有利于养分吸收,并促进AMF与宿主植物之间的信号交流以增强植物的耐旱性。     

金银花根系VAM真菌侵染过程观察

在金银花生长季节,从西北农林科技大学北校区药用植物园采集金银花根系及根际土壤,采用形态学方法观察研究了VAM真菌侵染其根系的过程,并对其孢子进行了初步的形态学分类。结果表明:(1)VAM真菌侵染金银花根系时,先形成附着胞,然后入侵到皮层细胞,在根内形成线性菌丝、圈状菌丝;菌丝末端产生泡囊;在较粗的菌丝上产生丛枝状菌丝,而且VAM胞内菌丝主干可以穿越相邻的2个皮层细胞,在皮层中连续形成丛枝;VAM菌丝形成丛枝时,首先是胞内菌丝上膨大产生乳状突起,而后在乳状突起上产生较粗的丛枝柄,最后在这些丛枝柄上产生极细的丛枝状菌丝形成成熟的丛枝结构。(2)VAM真菌菌丝在金银花皮层细胞中,有伸展状态、菌丝圈及丛枝状态,所以金银花与VAM真菌形成的菌根是混合型菌根。(3)金银花根际土壤中至少存在3种类型的VAM真菌孢子,因此认为金银花至少可与3种VAM真菌共生。(4)金银花种植地土壤有效磷含量(6.6mg/kg)显著高于对照空地土壤有效磷含量(3.5mg/kg);金银花生长旺盛季(4月下旬到5月中旬)VAM真菌对其根系的侵染率高达81%。     

两种方法形成菌丝球固定2-氯酚降解菌的对比

【目的】系统研究吸附法和同时培养法对所形成混合菌丝球的外观形态、内部结构及其去除2-氯酚效果的影响。【方法】采用吸附法和同时培养法将可降解2-氯酚的光合细菌PSB-1D固定在黄孢原毛平革菌(Phanerochaete chrysosporium)DH-1发酵而成的菌丝球上,形成混合菌丝球。以单一菌丝球为对照,利用光学显微镜、扫描电镜等仪器观察混合菌丝球的外观形态和内部结构,考察2种方法对混合菌丝球成球效果的影响;以无菌培养液为空白对照,考察游离光合细菌、单一菌丝球、2种方法形成混合菌丝球对2-氯酚的降解效能。【结果】在吸附法形成的混合菌丝球上,光合细菌主要集中在过渡区;而同时培养法将光合细菌牢固地包埋在菌丝球内核区,并大量簇状附着生长在菌丝交联的空隙处和每根菌丝上。在接种等量孢子和光合细菌的前提下,同时培养法较吸附法操作时间更短,成球数量更多,形成菌丝球干湿比更大,单位菌丝干重上固定的细菌数量更多。菌丝球降解体系和游离光合细菌对2-氯酚的降解均符合一级动力学特征。同时培养法形成的混合菌丝球降解效果最好,7 d内对初始浓度为50 mg/L的2-氯酚降解率可达89%以上,降解速率常数为0.3286 mg/(L·d),2-氯酚半衰期t1/2为2.8 d。【结论】首次报道黄孢原毛平革菌包埋固定化光合细菌形成混合菌丝球。该研究为生物质固定化材料的实际应用提供理论依据。     

珠状巨孢囊霉的单主寄生营养液培养及宿主根分泌物特性*

为研究丛枝菌根真菌对宿主植物根分泌物的影响,在营养液培养条件下成功地建立了菌根真菌Gigaspora margarita与转移Ri T-DNA胡萝卜根器官之间的无菌单主寄生培养方法。接种发芽的孢子四个月后,对根段染色观测,发现萌发孢子的菌丝能够入侵到根段的皮层细胞内,根细胞内有菌丝的折叠卷曲现象,并开始形成了新的孢子。利用高压液相色谱测定各处理营养液中根分泌物的成分,发现菌根分泌的苹果酸和乙酸含量高于对照处理,菌根营养液的pH升高幅度也大于未接种的对照根。     

Transmembrane H + and Ca 2+ fluxes through extraradical hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in response to drought stress

丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)能够和大多数陆地植物形成共生体系, 对于植物生长发育和适应各种逆境胁迫具有重要作用。很多研究表明干旱胁迫下AMF能够促进宿主植物对水分的吸收从而增强植物抗旱能力, 但目前针对AMF根外菌丝响应水分胁迫的生理变化以及AMF与宿主植物逆境信号交流的研究并不多。该研究利用AMF Rhizophagus irregularis和胡萝卜(Daucus carota var. sativa)毛状根双重无菌培养体系获得纯净根外菌丝, 向培养基添加聚乙二醇(PEG)模拟干旱胁迫, 运用场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM-EDS)观察干旱胁迫对AMF根外菌丝形态的影响, 同时采用非损伤微测技术(NMT)观测根外菌丝跨膜H ⁺和Ca ²⁺离子流变化。结果发现, PEG处理1 h后菌丝尖端和侧面发生H ⁺外流和强烈的Ca ²⁺内流, 荧光探针分析也显示菌丝胞内pH值显著上升、Ca ²⁺浓度增加; PEG处理24 h后菌丝形态发生明显变化, 培养基pH值降低, P、Ca、Fe等元素在菌丝际积累。这些试验结果表明, 干旱胁迫下AMF根外菌丝跨膜H ⁺和Ca ²⁺流发生变化, 促进了菌丝与环境之间的物质交换。菌丝酸化生长环境有利于养分吸收, 并促进AMF与宿主植物之间的信号交流以增强植物的耐旱性。     

根霉的生殖

根霉(Rhizopus)属于藻菌纲(Phycomycetes)毛霉目(Mucorales)。常见的根霉有匍枝根霉、黑根霉、米根霉等多种霉菌。根霉在自然界中分布很广,不仅发生在土壤中,也常在淀粉性食物、果实和腐烂物质上出现。根霉为无隔多核菌丝体,在培养基上菌丝可以交错形成疏松的海棉体状。菌丝气生性很强,多数分布在培养基的表面,其中有一部分呈弧形,沿基质表面水平生长,称匍匐菌丝。此类菌丝在与培养基的接触处向培养基内发生分枝,形成     

The effects of hydroxy fatty acids on the hyphal branching of germinated spores of AM fungi

Two hydroxy fatty acids, tentatively identified previously in carrot root exudates, were tested for their effects on hyphal growth of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Gigaspora gigantea (Nicol. and Gerd.) Gerdemann and Trappe. Best results were achieved with a long-term bioassay (7–8 d) with nanomolar concentrations throughout the Petri dish in contrast to the rapid microinjection bioassay (16–24 h) in which nanogram quantities were injected near growing hyphal tips. When 5 nM 2-hydroxy fatty acids of various chain length were tested, the length of the hydroxyl fatty acid was significant since only 2-hydroxytetradecanoic acid (2OH-TDA) and to a slightly lesser degree, 2-hydroxydodecanoic acid (2OH-DDA) induced a hyphal growth response while 2-hydroxydecanoic acid (2OH-DA) and 2-hydroxyhexadecanoic (2OH-HDA) acid did not. The position of the hydroxyl group was critical since 5 nM 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid (3OH-TDA) had no effect on hyphal growth. The length of the non-hydroxy containing straight chain fatty acid, per se, did not appear significant since none of these fatty acids had an effect on hyphal growth. The morphological growth response promoted by 2OH-TDA consisted of multiple lateral branches, spaced fairly regularly apart, along the primary germ tubes as well as some lateral branch formation off the major secondary hyphae. This growth response was identical to that observed when germinated spores were allowed to grow towards cultured carrot roots in vitro. This response to 2OH-TDA also was observed with an unidentified Gigaspora species but no morphological response was observed with Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith. The results indicate that 2-hydroxy fatty acids are another putative category of root exudate signals perceived by Gigaspora species, stimulating an increase in elongated lateral branches.     

Mitochondrial behaviour during the yeast-hypha transition of Candida albicans

Yeast cells of Candida albicans were brought to germ tube formation and hyphal growth in liquid synthetic medium. The behaviour of mitochondria and mitochondrial nucleoids (mt-nucleoids) during morphological conversion was examined by fluorescence staining with 2-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-1-methylpyridinium iodide (DASPMI) and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Parent yeast cells possessed one or very few branched giant mitochondria which were stained intensely with DASPMI. When a germ tube emerged from the parent cell, one end of a giant mitochondrion extended into the germ tube and developed into the elongated form. In mycelia, apical hyphal cells contained giant mitochondria, whereas older hyphal compartments near the parent cells were vacuolated and possessed small, peripherally located mitochondria. The vacuolated hyphal compartments resynthesized cytoplasm before producing branches and contained giant mitochondria. The cytological model for germ tube formation and hyphal growth proposed by Gow and Gooday (1984) is discussed.     

Common anastomosis and internal transcribed spacer RFLP groupings in binucleate Rhizoctonia isolates representing root endophytes of Pinus sylvestris, Ceratorhiza spp. from orchid mycorrhizas and a phytopathogenic anastomosis group

Binucleate Rhizoctonia endophytes from the roots of nursery-grown Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) seedlings and the orchid Goodyera repens from Scots pine forests were characterized on the basis of morphological characters, anastomosis group membership and PCR-assisted ribosomal DNA fingerprinting. Common hyphal and colony morphological traits displayed by the Finnish binucleate Rhizoctonia isolates and a range of Canadian orchid root endophytes enabled them to be placed in the anamorphic genus Ceratorhiza . Five main anastomosis groups were identified and included groups that contained different combinations of Scots pine, G. repens and Canadian Ceratorhiza spp. isolates. Two Scots pine root endophytes anastomosed with a phytopathogenic Japanese tester isolate, confirming their membership of anastomosis group I, which is known to include the teleomorphic species Ceratobasidium cornigerum . Hierarchical cluster analysis of RFLPs in the internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA enabled the division of isolates into one of five RFLP groups. The RFLP and anastomosis groupings were closely correlated; isolates within each of four RFLP groups, which shared 100% RFLP identity, anastomosed in the cross-pairing anastomosis group tests. However, all represented different vegetatively compatible populations (clones) because the diagnostic killing reaction, a cellular vegetative incompatibility response, was identified at hyphal fusion junctions. These findings indicate a high degree of intraspecific variation within Ceratobasidium cornigerum , which includes isolates able to enter into either mutualistic or pathogenic root association with susceptible host plants. The common anastomosis group/RFLP groupings identified also strongly support the hypothesis that conifer tree roots can act as large inoculum reservoirs for these orchid endophytes, allowing the development of inter-plant connections, via commonly shared hyphal linkages, in boreal forest ecosystems.     

Analysis of morphological relationship between micro- and macromorphology of Mortierella species using a flow-through chamber coupled with image analysis

Using a flow-through chamber coupled with image analysis, the morphological parameters of 11 Mortierella species were quantified, and the relationship between micro- and macromorphology was investigated. On potato-dextrose-agar plates, 5 species formed rose petal-like colonies, 3 formed large round colonies, and 3 formed donut-like colonies. By observing micromorphology in a flow-through chamber, fungi were divided into 3 groups, classified according to morphological parameters: (i) a group with a high branch formation rate (q(b): tip/microm/h) and a low tip extension rate (q(tip): microm/tip/h); (ii) a group with a low branch formation rate and a high tip extension rate; and (iii) a group intermediate between the former and the latter groups. In suspension culture, group (i) fungi formed a hyphal bundle with a pulpy pellet-like morphology and a pellet core. In contrast, group (ii) fungi showed an aggregation of hyphae without the pellet core. In a narrow-specific hyphal growth rate (mu(l)) range (0.35-0.45 h(-1)), a higher branch formation rate led to increased hyphal branching, resulting in the formation of a hyphal bundle with a pulpy pellet-like morphology and a pellet core. When the branch formation rate was lower than 2 x 10(-3) tips/microm/h, the mycelia formed less branched but longer hypha. Our study surmises that a micromorphology consisting of a high hyphal growth rate (0.4 h(-1)), low tip extension rate (20 tips/microm/h), and high branch formation rate (8 x 10(-3) tips/microm/h) forms the suitable macromorphology for arachidonic acid production.

目的探讨大蒜素对白念珠菌形态转换的影响及其作用机制。方法倒置显微镜观察白念珠菌菌丝形成的体外动力学过程;采用CLSI-M27-A3微量液基稀释法检测大蒜素对白念珠菌的最小抑菌浓度(minimum inhibitory concentration,MIC);倒置显微镜观察不同浓度大蒜素对白念珠菌在Spider液体培养基中菌丝形成的影响;qRT-PCR法检测在不同浓度大蒜素作用下白念珠菌菌丝相关基因HWP1、ALS1、EFG1、PDE2表达水平的变化。结果白念珠菌在Spider液体培养基中6 h时出现较长菌丝,24 h后镜下可见大量念珠菌菌丝包裹酵母细胞,紧密交错;大蒜素对白念珠菌的MIC值为25μg/mL;倒置显微镜观察(25~100)μg/mL浓度的大蒜素能明显抑制Spider液体培养基中白念珠菌菌丝的生长;qRT-PCR结果显示,在(25~100)μg/mL浓度的大蒜素作用下,白念珠菌菌丝相关基因表达下调。结论大蒜素能有效抑制白念珠菌的形态转换,其作用机制可能与调节菌丝形成相关基因的表达水平有关。     

Investigation of the infection process of macrophomina phaseolina on the surface of soybean roots using scanning electron microscopy

Sclerotial germination, hyphal growth pattern, and appressorial formation of the charcoal rot fungus, Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. on the surface of soybean roots, Glycine max (L.) Merrill was observed using scanning electron microscopy. Sclerotial germination is followed by a hyphal growth pattern which does not appear to be associated with any specific structural feature on the corrugated root surface. Appressoria are produced on the root surface at the tips of both primary hyphae and side branches within three days after inoculation.     

菌丝形态分化与头孢菌素C合成的关系

利用显微图像分析法对顶头孢霉菌的菌丝形态进行了定量研究,并统计分析了头孢菌素C发酵过程中的菌丝形态的变化规律,具体对菌丝长度、菌丝宽度和菌丝生长单位进行了定量分析,分析了菌丝形态分化与头孢菌素C合成的关系。研究表明头孢菌素C的合成是在细长菌丝分化成膨大菌丝片段后才启动的,头孢菌素C可能主要是在膨大菌丝分化成节孢子的过程中被合成。     

Measurement and simulation of the morphological development of filamentous microorganisms

Growth of Streptomyces tendae was investigated in submerged culture. Images of several mycelia were analyzed by means of an image-processing system. The studies revealed that tip growth angles and branching outgrowth angles could be regarded as normally distributed. Based on these results, a random model for directional growth of hyphal tips as well as directional growth of branches is proposed. This model shows curved elongation of hyphal tips, so that the morphological development of a mycelium up to the formation of a pellet is predicted, similar to that observed in nature.
