以高脂微藻谷皮菱形藻(Nitzschia palea NY025)为实验材料,探讨了利用光密度法和尼罗红荧光染色法测定细胞生长和细胞中性脂含量的可行性,进而研究了温度、光强及培养基中N、P、Si含量对藻细胞生长和中性脂积累的影响。结果表明:(1)谷皮菱形藻在675nm处存在最大吸收峰,细胞密度与OD675之间存在良好的线性关系,利用光密度法和尼罗红荧光染色法表征谷皮菱形藻生物量和中性脂含量操作简单,适用于高通量样品的测定;(2)谷皮菱形藻在20℃,光强160μmol m-2s-1时生长最快,在20℃,光强200μmol m-2s-1时,有利于中性脂积累;(3)培养基中N、P、Si浓度分别为80、120、100 mg/L时,有利于谷皮菱形藻细胞生长,其中,N元素影响最大,其次是P、Si,且N、P、Si三因子以及交互作用N×P与P×Si对藻株生长作用均为显著。培养基中N、P、Si浓度分别为80、120、50 mg/L时,利于中性脂积累,其中,N元素影响最大,其次是Si、P,且因子N、Si及交互作用N×P、N×Si作用均为显著;(4)可采用两步培养法,先使谷皮菱形藻细胞大量增殖,而后适当改变培养条件,以增加脂质合成。     

盐胁迫对獐毛叶绿素和有机溶质含量的影响

用含0~200mmol/L浓度NaCl的Hoagland培养液处理獐毛幼苗,处理14d后测定一些生理指标。结果表明,獐毛的生长受NaCl抑制的程度随盐浓度增加而增大。叶绿素a和b含量均随着盐度增大而逐渐升高,而Chla/Chlb比值呈下降趋势。獐毛体内有机溶质、氨基酸、有机酸和可溶性糖等含量随盐度增加而明显增大。另外,獐毛的有机物干重所占总干重的比例增大,同时渗透势降低。这些结果表明,獐毛能够对盐渍环境做出必要的响应,以维持正常的生理活动,从而表现出较强的耐盐能力。     

杜氏盐藻质膜ATPase在渗透调节中的可能作用

杜氏盐藻是一种以甘油为渗透调节物质的单细胞海藻,能够在0.08～5.0mol/L NaGl的培养液中生长。当外界NaGl浓度从0.5mol/L上升到4.0mol/L时,藻细胞内的Na~+和K~+含量变化不大,甘油含量则从6.20Pg/cell上升到51.50pg/cell。当藻细胞承受2.0mol/L到3.0mol/L NaCl的高渗胁迫时,能通过增加细胞内甘油含量来恢复原有形态;同时,藻细胞的H~+分泌增加,ATP含量下降;20μmol/L Na_3VO_4抑制了这些变化。KGN处理虽降低藻细胞内的ATP含量,却增加K~+外流和Na~+内渗。

一株杜氏藻的分子鉴定与耐盐特性

杜氏藻属（Dunaliella）是绿藻门的一类极端耐盐的单细胞藻。本文通过核基因ITS序列和叶绿体基因rbcL序列确定了一株分离自舟山群岛的杜氏藻D3的分类地位,并比较了4种NaCl浓度对该藻的生长、蛋白质含量、总脂含量和叶绿素荧光参数的影响,以期为该藻在今后的科研与应用提供基础资料。结果表明,该藻与23株杜氏藻的ITS序列之间的遗传距离在0．026—0．136之间,与21株同属藻rbcL序列之间的遗传距离在0．005～0．060之间,由遗传距离和聚类图推断该杜氏藻D3属于D．viridis。不同NaCl浓度对该藻D3生长影响表明1．00mol·L^-1NaCl培养藻生长最快,培养至10d时,0．44mol·L^-1、2．00mol·L^-1和3．00mol·L^-1NaCl培养藻细胞数分别是它的85．9％、93．2％和80．7％;该藻可溶性蛋白含量在1．00mol·L^-1 NaCl培养最高;藻细胞总脂含量在0．44-2．00mol·L^-1NaCl浓度范围内随盐度升高总脂含量增加,2．00mol·L^-1 NaCl培养最高（占干重的22．3％）;叶绿素荧光参数（F√Fm、ФPSII qp）在高盐（3．00mol-LL^-1 NaCl）培养显著降低,而NPQ则升高。     

发状念珠藻对盐胁迫的响应

探讨了发状念珠藻(NostocflagelliformeBornetFlah)对盐胁迫的耐受适应机制,采用含不同浓度NaCl(0、01、02、04、06、08、10mol/L)的BG110培养液处理具有正常生理活性的丝状体,25±05℃,40μmol/m2/s下照光培养12h,测定藻体光合作用、呼吸作用等生理活性以及体内一些物质的含量,结果表明:随培养液中NaCl浓度的升高藻体光合作用、呼吸作用以及PSⅡ活性(Fv/Fm)降低;质膜透性不断增大,丙二醛含量升高,自由水含量、自由水/束缚水比值下降,类胡萝卜素、可溶性糖含量增加,脯氨酸含量变化不大。由此可知,盐胁迫下发状念珠藻正常生理活性受到抑制而表现出一定的抗逆能力;该藻对盐胁迫具有一定的耐受能力,类胡萝卜素的增加有助于清除藻体内的氧自由基,可溶性糖可能是其主要渗透调节物质之一,脯氨酸在盐胁迫中的渗透调节作用不大。       

丹江口水库一株硅藻的分子鉴定及氮素对其生长的影响

采用稀释分离法和小液滴分离法, 从丹江口水库水样中分离了一株硅藻。通过形态学观察和18S rDNA、SSU rDNA、rbcL的序列分析, 将其鉴定为谷皮菱形藻。以NaNO3、NH4Cl和尿素为氮源, 研究了不同氮素对其生长特性的影响。结果表明, 谷皮菱形藻在铵态氮、硝态氮和有机氮中均可正常生长, 但生长特性对不同氮素形态的响应有所不同。在NaNO3和尿素的培养条件下, 谷皮菱形藻的生长速率随氮素浓度的增加而相应增加, 而在NH4Cl培养基中, 生长速率随氮素浓度的增加表现出先增加后降低的趋势。在NH4Cl 350 μmol·L-1时达到最高, 最大比生长速率和细胞密度分别为0.2920 d-1和189×104 个·mL-1, 表明高浓度铵态氮对其生长有抑制作用。本研究可为谷皮菱形藻的分子鉴定提供依据, 也可为保护丹江口水库的水质安全提供基础资料。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
