渗透压在葡萄酒酵母代谢中的调控作用

以磷酸丙糖异构酶部分缺失突变株做对比,研究了渗透压对葡萄酒酵母发酵过程中甘油合成与挥发酸生成的调节作用.结果表明:渗透压对野生型葡萄酒酵母中存在的磷酸二羟丙酮(DHAP)与3-磷酸甘油醛(GA3P)平衡具有调节作用,能使平衡向磷酸二羟丙酮方向迁移以合成更多的甘油,而当磷酸丙糖异构酶部分缺失时渗透压对这一平衡基本不起作用...     

干旱胁迫和遮光对印楝幼苗生长及碳氮代谢的影响

以0.5年生印楝半同胞家系实生苗为材料,设置4个干旱胁迫水平与3个遮光水平共12个处理盆栽试验,测定分析印楝叶片主要碳氮代谢酶活性、终产物含量及生长指标,以揭示印楝碳氮代谢对光照及水分胁迫的响应规律,为进一步研究印楝的物质转换及代谢规律充实理论基础。结果显示:(1)在干旱胁迫条件下,印楝可通过调节碳代谢酶(SS、SPS)和氮代谢酶(NR、GS、GOGAT)活性及加快可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质和游离脯氨酸的积累以维持苗高较小的变幅。(2)在遮光条件下,轻度遮光就会导致印楝叶片主要碳氮代谢酶活性及代谢产物含量急剧下降,严重抑制幼苗生长。(3)在干旱胁迫和遮光共同存在的条件下,遮光(或干旱)在一定程度上可以减缓干旱(或遮光)对印楝初生代谢及生长带来的不利影响。研究发现,印楝幼苗具有较强的干旱适应能力,适度干旱胁迫(土壤相对含水量大于35%)可促进细胞碳氮代谢,但不利于净光和产物的积累;同时,印楝幼苗对光照需求较高,轻度遮光会使初生代谢及生长受到严重抑制;在苗木培育过程中要尽可能提供充足的水分和光照,在水分匮缺时可以通过适当遮光来缓解干旱对苗木生长带来的负面影响,而在光照不足的条件下则需要适当控制水分。     

夜间低温胁迫对两种生长光强下藤黄幼苗叶片荧光特征和活性氧代谢的影响

对两种不同生长光强下（自然光的8％和50％）西双版纳热带雨林木本植物藤黄（Garcinia han-buryi）幼苗经夜间低温（4℃）处理后荧光特性和活性氧代谢的研究结果表明,低温使藤黄叶片光合机构PSⅡ原初光能转化效率（Fv/Fm）、PSⅡ非环式电子传递的量子效率（ФPSⅡ）、非光化学猝灭系数（NPQ）下降,原初荧光（F0）上升。低温胁迫消除后,生长在50％光强下藤黄叶片的Fv/Fm和F0在3d后仍不能完全恢复,而生长在8％光强下藤黄叶片的Fv/Fm和F0基本恢复,说明低温使生长在8％光强下藤黄的光合机构PSⅡ反应中心受到可逆失活,而生长在50％光强下藤黄的光合机构受到氧化伤害。随着低温胁迫时间的延长,两种生长光强藤黄叶片活性氧保护酶（SOD,CAT,APX）的活性虽升高,但O2^-的生成速率、H2O2和MDA含量积累增加。而在恢复阶段,生长在8％光强比生长在50％光强下藤黄叶片的活性氧含量下降得快,进一步说明生长在高光强的植物比生长在低光强的植物受低温伤害大。     

Ni胁迫对不同基因型谷子幼苗生长及氮素代谢的影响

采用盆栽土培法,研究了不同浓度Ni2+(0、25、50、100、150、200 mg/kg)对4种基因型谷子(13-36、B-7、晋谷51号、晋谷52号)幼苗生长,Ni2+富集与转运能力,叶片中硝态氮、氨态氮、可溶性蛋白质、脯氨酸含量及氮代谢相关酶硝酸还原酶(NR)、谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)、谷氨酸合酶(GOGAT)、谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH)活性的影响。结果表明:Ni2+胁迫下,4种基因型谷子幼苗的根长、苗长、生物量随Ni2+浓度增加逐渐降低,体内Ni2+含量逐渐增加,与对照组差异显著(P0.05)。在所试浓度范围内,4种基因型谷子幼苗叶片中的硝态氮含量、NR、GS、GOGAT活性表现为低浓度(25—50mg/kg)增高和高浓度(50—200 mg/kg)降低,而GDH活性在Ni2+浓度为100mg/kg以上时下降,氨态氮含量在50—150 mg/kg处理组中为对照的1.14—3.02倍。不同浓度Ni2+处理后,4种基因型谷子幼苗叶片中的脯氨酸含量均有不同程度的提高,而可溶性蛋白质含量呈明显下降趋势。实验结果证明,Ni2+胁迫抑制了谷子幼苗对硝态氮的吸收,降低了叶片中NR、GS、GOGAT活性,影响了氨的同化作用,使谷子幼苗的氮素代谢发生紊乱,不同基因型谷子对Ni2+胁迫的毒性效应存在差异。4种基因型谷子对Ni2+的耐性顺序为13-36B-7晋谷51晋谷52。

克鲁氏假丝酵母在高渗环境中海藻糖和胞内甘油积累的研究

Brown[1]在1976年提出了相容溶质(Compatible solutes)的概念,尽管有关它们功能的确切机制尚不是非常清楚,但是通常它们被认为是具有渗透调节作用和对细胞中生物活性物质具保护功能的物质.海藻糖和甘油在这方面所表现出的特殊功能已被国内外广泛关注[2].Brown[3]和Crowe[4]还分别报道了甘油和海藻糖在保护胞内可溶性酶和细胞膜稳定性方面的功能.Crowe[5]在研究几种不同碳水化合物对动物肌细胞的保护功能时发现,海藻糖和甘油都在不同程度上表现出这种特性.关于酵母细胞在加盐培养基中的生长代谢情况Kuniho Nakata[6]和Sukesh [7]分别进行了报道,发现酵母细胞内有海藻糖的积累,并且海藻糖的量与细胞对外界不利环境的耐受性有密切关系.     

铵态氮和氨基酸态氮配施对甜菜生长特性及碳代谢的影响

采用甜菜(Beta vulgaris L.)为试验材料,在盆栽条件下,施以无机氮(铵态氮)和有机氮(氨基酸态氮)不同比例(有机氮分别占总施氮量33%和67%)配施,分析了甜菜不同生育阶段叶片叶绿素含量、块根和茎叶全氮含量、干物质、叶片蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)、蔗糖合成酶(SS)、转化酶、可溶性糖、蔗糖、还原糖以及甜菜产量、含糖率和产糖量的变化规律,探讨了不同氮素形态比例对甜菜生长特性和碳代谢的影响。结果表明,无机氮(铵态氮)和有机态氮(氨基酸态氮)不同比例配施在不同的生育时期,对甜菜的生长特性和碳代谢的影响不同。不同比例有机态氮的处理可以增加甜菜地上和地下的干物质积累,在收获期之前,有机氮(占总施氮量67%)处理明显促进甜菜生长,到收获期之后有机氮(占总施氮量33%)处理的甜菜干物质量积累最多;在全生育期,不同有机氮(占总施氮量33%和67%)处理均增加甜菜叶片的叶绿素含量;在糖分增长期之后,有机态氮处理的甜菜块根和叶片氮积累量均大于无机氮处理,说明氨基酸态氮也可以成为良好氮源;不同比例有机态氮的处理可以在甜菜不同生育期提高甜菜叶片蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)、蔗糖合成酶(SS)活性和转化酶活力;随有机态氮比例的增加,块根中可溶性糖、蔗糖含量明显增加,还原糖含量降低,对块根蔗糖的积累有促进作用;块根中含糖率有机态氮比例的增加而增加,但块根产量和产糖量以有机态氮占总施氮量33%时最高。     

Determination of Growth and Glycerol Production Kinetics of a Wine Yeast Strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kalecik 1 in Different Substrate Media

Summary Glycerol has been known as an important by-product of wine fermentations improving the sensory quality of wine. This study was carried out with an endogenic wine yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kalecik 1. The kinetics of growth and glycerol biosynthesis were analysed at various initial concentrations of glucose, fructose, and sucrose in a batch system. Depending on the determined values of Monod constants, glucose (K_s = 28.09 g/l) was found as the most suitable substrate for the yeast growth. Initial glucose, fructose and sucrose concentrations necessary for maximum specific yeast growth rate were determined as 175 g, 100 l, and 200 g/l, respectively. The yeast produced glycerol at very high concentrations in fructose medium. Fructose was determined as the most suitable substrate for glycerol production while the strain showed low tendency to use it for growth. S. cerevisiae Kalecik 1 could not produce glycerol below 200 g/l initial sucrose concentration. When natural white grape juice was used as fermentation medium, maximum glycerol concentration and dry weight of the yeast were determined as 9.3 g/l and 11.8 g/l, respectively.     

酵母细胞甘油代谢与生理功能研究进展

甘油是酵母细胞生长代谢过程中常见的多元醇物质。尽管甘油的结构简单,代谢途径并不复杂,但是其在细胞内的生理功能十分重要。甘油代谢过程主要参与细胞的高渗透压生理调节和厌氧条件下的胞内氧化还原平衡调节。近年来许多学者在酵母细胞的甘油代谢及生理功能方面开展了深入的研究。在扼要介绍甘油生理代谢的基础上,重点阐述甘油代谢参与细胞高渗压甘油应答信号途径和氧化还原平衡调节的生理机制,同时就酵母细胞甘油合成的代谢工程进行归纳和评述。     

Growth and Carbohydrate Metabolism of Sulfobacilli

The moderately thermophilic acidophilic bacteria Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans, strain 1269, S. thermosulfidooxidanssubsp. asporogenes, strain 41, and the thermotolerant strain S. thermosulfidooxidanssubsp. thermotolerans K1 prefer mixotrophic growth conditions (the concomitant presence of ferrous iron, thiosulfate, and organic compounds in the medium). In heterotrophic and autotrophic growth conditions, these sulfobacilli can grow over only a few culture transfers. In cell-free extracts of these sulfobacilli, key enzymes of the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas, pentose-phosphate, and Entner–Doudoroff pathways were found. The role of a particular pathway depended on the cultivation conditions. All of the enzymes assayed were most active under mixotrophic conditions in the presence of Fe²⁺and glucose, suggesting the operation of all of the three major pathways of carbohydrate metabolism under these conditions. However, the operation of the Entner–Doudoroff pathway in strain 41 was restricted under mixotrophic conditions. After the first culture transfer from mixotrophic to heterotrophic conditions, the utilization of glucose occurred only via the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas and Entner–Doudoroff pathways. After the first culture transfer from mixotrophic to autotrophic conditions, the activity of carbohydrate metabolism enzymes decreased in all of the strains studied; in strain K1, only the glycolytic pathway remained operative. The high activity of fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, remaining in strain 41 cells under these conditions, suggests the involvement of this enzyme in the reactions of the Calvin cycle or of gluconeogenesis.

Comprehensive phenotypic analysis for identification of genes affecting growth under ethanol stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

We quantified the growth behavior of all available single gene deletion strains of budding yeast under ethanol stress. Genome-wide analyses enabled the extraction of the genes and determination of the functional categories required for growth under this condition. Statistical analyses revealed that the growth of 446 deletion strains under stress induced by 8% ethanol was defective. We classified these deleted genes into known functional categories, and found that many were important for growth under ethanol stress including several categories that have not been characterized, such as peroxisome. We also performed genome-wide screening under osmotic stress and identified 329 osmotic-sensitive strains. We excluded these strains from the 446 ethanol-sensitive strains to extract the genes whose deletion caused sensitivity to ethanol-specific (359 genes), osmotic-specific (242 genes), and both stresses (87 genes). We also extracted the functional categories that are specifically important for growth under ethanol stress. The genes and functional categories identified in the analysis might provide clues to improving ethanol stress tolerance among yeast cells.     

Alterations of Lipid Metabolism in Response to Nerve Growth Factor

Abstract: In response to nerve growth factor (NGF), clonal pheochromocytoma cells flatten and extend neurites capable of making functional synapses. Although no significant changes in overall phospholipid composition occur in the presence of NGF, there is increased incorporation of ³²PO₄ into phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidic acid within 10 min after the addition of NGF. NGF stimulates the incorporation of ³²PO₄ into other lipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, to a lesser extent. The kinetics of the NGF-induced phosphatidylinositol responses are different when the cells are in suspension from when they are attached to culture dishes. These changes in phospholipid metabolism are discussed with respect to their role in NGF-induced nerve differentiation.     

miRNA调控药用植物生长发育和次生代谢

microRNA(miRNA)作为一类内源性的短链非编码RNA,广泛存在于真核细胞中,主要通过对转录本剪切和抑制翻译等方式,参与转录后基因的表达调控。近年来研究表明,多种药用植物中鉴定出大量的miRNA。这些miRNA对药用植物的生长发育和次生代谢产物合成具有调控功能。次生代谢产物是药用植物的主要有效成分,研究miRNA对药用植物次生代谢过程的调控作用具有十分重要的意义。本文综述了miRNA在植物中的产生途径、作用方式和体内功能,在此基础上重点介绍了miRNA对药用植物生长发育和次生代谢产物生物合成的调控作用,并对药用植物miRNA的研究进行了展望,以期为提高药用植物产量,高效获得药用植物有效成分以及临床应用开拓新的思路。     

Effects of Salt Stress on Carbohydrate Metabolism in Desert Soil Alga Microcoleus vaginatus Gom.

The effects of salt stress on carbohydrate metabolism in Microcoleus vaginatus Gom., a cyanobacterium isolated from desert algal crusts, were investigated in the present study. Extracellular total carbohydrates and exopolysaccharides （EPS） in the culture medium produced by M. vaginatus increased significantly during the growth phase and reached a maximum during the stationary phase. The production of extracellular carbohydrates also significantly increased under higher salt concentrations, which was attributed to an increase in low molecular weight carbohydrates. In the presence of NaCI, the production of cellular total carbohydrates decreased and photosynthetic activity was impaired, whereas cellular reducing sugars, water-soluble sugars and sucrose content and sucrose phosphate synthase activity increased, reaching a maximum in the presence of 200 mmol/L NaCI. These parameters were restored to original levels when the algae were transferred to a non-saline medium. Sodium and K＋ concentrations of stressed cells decreased significantly and H＋-ATPase activity increased after the addition of exogenous sucrose or EPS. The results suggest that EPS and sucrose are synthesized to maintain the cellular osmOtic equilibrium between the intra-and extracellular environment, thus protecting algal cells from osmotic damage, which was attributed to the selective exclusion of cellular Na＋ and K＋ by H＋-ATPase.
