Mapping strategy for resistance genes in tomato based on RFLPs between cultivars: Cf9 (resistance to Cladosporium fulvum) on chromosome 1

Summary The contribution of introgressed regions derived from wild species to the genetic variation within the species of Lycopersicon esculentum was investigated by comparing the RFLP patterns of 2 introgression-free, obsolete cultivars (Moneymaker and Premier) and a modern cultivar (Sonatine) that carries at least 5 introgressed resistance genes. In this analysis 195 mapped nuclear markers were used in combination with 6 restriction enzymes. Among the 1170 probe-enzyme combinations tested, only 3 showed a polymorphism between the 2 introgression-free cultivars. On the other hand 24 probe-enzyme combinations were found to exhibit polymorphisms between Moneymaker and Sonatine. These represented ten polymorphic loci distributed among 5 linkage groups on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 6, and 9.On the assumption that most of the polymorphic loci corresponded to introgressed chromosome segments of wild species carrying resistance genes, linkages between these loci and the component resistance genes were examined by RFLP analysis of pairs of near-isogenic lines differing only for one particular resistance gene, and a variety of commercial cultivars having different resistance gene compositions. Two of the polymorphic linkage groups could thus be ascribed to resistance genes whose map positions were already known: Cf2 on chromosome 6 and Tm2a on chromosome 9, whereas another marker, TG301 on chromosome 1, could be assigned to the Cladosporium fulvum resistance gene Cf9 with a hitherto disputable map position. By linkage analysis of a segregating F₂ population the genetic distance between the Cf9 gene and the marker TG301 was estimated at 5.5 ± 2.3 cM.     

Molecular analysis of the inheritance of the S-5 locus,conferring wide compatibility in Indica/Japonica hybrids of rice (O. sativa L.)

RFLP analysis was conducted on a population derived from a three-way cross to determine the location of the hybrid sterility locus, S-5, in relation to mapped molecular markers and to identify markers that would be useful for selection in breeding. S-5 is of interest to rice breeders because it is associated with spikelet sterility of F₁ hybrids in Indica/Japonica crosses. Identification of an S-5 allele which confers fertility in Indica/Japonica hybrids when introgressed into either the Indica or the Japonica parent has been reported. Varieties carrying this S-5 ⁿ allele are known as wide compatibility varieties (WCV). Our data suggests that RFLP marker RG213 on chromosome 6 is closely linked to the S-5 locus and can be efficiently used to identify wide compatibility (WC) lines. RG213 is a single-copy genomic clone that detects three bands of different molecular weights in DNA from Japonica (Akihikari) and Indica (IR36) varieties and WC line (Nekken 2). We demonstrate that the three alleles detected by this marker could be used to trace the inheritance of the wide compatible phenotype in breeders' material.     

Identification and localization of molecular markers linked to the Lr9 leaf rust resistance gene of wheat

Near-isogenic lines (NILs) for the leaf rust resistance gene Lr9 were screened for polymorphisms at the molecular level. RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) primers as well as RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) markers were used. Out of 395 RAPD primers tested, three showed polymorphisms between NILs, i.e., an additional band was found in resistant lines. One of these polymorphic bands was cloned and sequenced. Specific primers were synthesized, and after amplification only resistant lines showed an amplified product. Thus, these primers define a sequence-tagged site that is specific for the translocated fragment carrying the Lr9 gene. A cross between a resistant NIL and the spelt (Triticum spelta) variety Oberkulmer was made, and F₂ plants were analyzed for genetic linkage. All three polymorphisms detected by the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and one RFLP marker (cMWG684) showed complete linkage to the Lr9 gene in 156 and 133 plants analyzed, respectively. A second RFLP marker (PSR546) was closely linked (8±2.4 cM) to the Lr9 gene and the other four DNA markers. As this marker maps to the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 6B of wheat, Lr9 and the other DNA markers also map to the distal region of 6BL. All three PCR markers detected the Lr9 gene in independently derived breeding lines and varieties, thus proving their general applicability in wheat breeding programs.     

Tagging and combining bacterial blight resistance genes in rice using RAPD and RFLP markers

Four genes of rice,Oryza sativa L., conditioning resistance to the bacterial blight pathogenXanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae (X. o. pv.oryzae), were tagged by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. No recombinants were observed betweenxa-5 and RFLP marker lociRZ390, RG556 orRG207 on chromosome 5.Xa-3 andXa-4 were linked to RFLP locusXNpb181 at the top of chromosome 11, at distances of 2.3 cM and 1.7 cM, respectively. The nearest marker toXa-10, also located on chromosome 11, was the RAPD locusO07 ₂₀₀₀ at a distance of 5.3 cM. From this study, the conventional map [19, 28] and two RFLP linkage maps of chromosome 11 [14, 26] were partially integrated. Using the RFLP and RAPD markers linked to the resistance genes, we selected rice lines homozygous for pairs of resistance genes,Xa-4 +xa-5 andXa-4 +Xa-10. Lines carryingXa-4 +xa-5 andXa-4 +Xa-10 were evaluated for reaction to eight strains of the bacterial blight pathogen, representing eight pathotypes and three genetic lineages. As expected, the lines carrying pairs of genes were resistant to more of the isolates than their single-gene parental lines. Lines carryingXa-4 +xa-5 were more resistant to isolates of race 4 than were either of the parental lines (quantitative complementation). No such effects were seen forXa-4 +Xa-10. Thus, combinations of resistance genes provide broader spectra of resistance through both ordinary gene action expected and quantitative complementation.     

Classification of cultivated rices into indica and japonica types by the isozyme,RFLP and two milled-rice methods

Four methods for classifying cultivated rices (Oryza sativa L.) (including IR varieties) into indica and japonica types — waxy gene product in endosperm starch, glutelin ₃ molecular weight in milled rice, RFLP polymorphism at the Wx locus and Glaszmann's isozyme method — were compared. On the basis of the two endosperm traits and the RFLP method Glaszmann's group 1 (indica) was classified as mainly indica and intermediate groups 2, 3 and 4 as exclusively indica. However, the endosperm traits classified Glaszmann's group 5 as mainly indica, while the RFLP method classified it as japonica. The RFLP waxy gene probe was closest to the isozyme method in classifying group 6 as japonicas; the waxy gene product gave mainly indica reaction even in group 6, and the glutelin ₃ method was intermediate. All IR rices were classified as being indica on the basis of Wx gene product and by Glaszmann's method, but a few were classified as japonica by the glutelin ₃ method and by the RFLP waxy gene probe.     

Identification of two RAPD markers tightly linked with the Nicotiana debneyi gene for resistance to black root rot of tobacco

Linkage of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers with a single dominant gene for resistance to black root rot (Chalara elegans Nag Raj and Kendrick; Syn. Thielaviopsis basicola [Berk. and Broome] Ferraris) of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), which was transferred from N. debneyi Domin, was investigated in this study. There were 2594 repeatable RAPD fragments generated by 441 primers on DNAs of Delgold tobacco, a BC₅F₈ near isogenic line (NIL) carrying the resistance gene in a Delgold background, and PB19, the donor parent of the resistance gene. Only 7 of these primers produced eight RAPD markers polymorphic between Delgold and PB19, indicating there are few RAPD polymorphisms between them despite relatively dissimilar pedigrees. Five of the eight RAPD markers were not polymorphic between Delgold and the NIL. All of these markers proved to be unlinked with the resistance gene in F₂ linkage tests. Of the remaining three RAPD markers polymorphic between Delgold and the NIL, two were shown to be strongly linked with the resistance gene; one in coupling and the other in repulsion. Application of the two RAPDs in the elimination of linkage drag associated with the N. debneyi resistance gene and marker-assisted selection for the breeding of new tobacco cultivars with the resistance gene is discussed.     

Molecular identification of powdery mildew resistance genes in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

RFLP markers for the wheat powdery mildew resistance genes Pm1 and Pm2 were tagged by means of near-isogenic lines. The probe Whs178 is located 3 cM from the Pm1 gene. For the powdery mildew resistance gene Pm2, two markers were identified. The linkage between the Pm2 resistance locus and one of these two probes was estimated to be 3 cM with a F₂ population. Both markers can be used to detect the presence of the corresponding resistance gene in commercial cultivars. Bulked segregant analysis was applied to identify linkage disequillibrium between the resistance gene Pm18 and the abovementioned marker, which was linked to this locus at a distance of 4 cM. Furthermore, the RAPD marker OPH-11₁₉₀₀ (5-CTTCCGCAGT-3) was selected with pools created from a population segregating for the resistance of Trigo BR 34. The RAPD marker was mapped about 13 cM from this resistance locus.     

A single step purification of a sialic acid binding lectin (AchatininH) from Achatina fulica snail

A sialic acid binding lectin, Achatinin_H, was purified in single step from the hemolymph of the land snail, Achatina fulica, by the affinity chromatography on sheep submaxillary mucin coupled to Sepharose 4B. The yield of the lectin was found to be 3 mg from 100 ml of hemolymph. The homogeneity of the lectin was established by alkaline gel electrophoresis, immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis and analytical isoelectrophoresis. The molecular weight of the native protein was 242000, having identical subunits of Mr 15000. The lectin agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes in the presence of Ca^2–. The inhibition study clearly suggests that the binding site of the lectin recognizes sialic acid as the immunodominant sugar. This was further confirmed by the observation that there was a marked decrease of agglutinating activity of the lectin with neuraminidase treated rabbit erythrocytes and asialofetuin was unable to inhibit the activity of Achatinin_H. Among the inhibitors used the glycoconjugate containing 2-6 linkages of N-acetylneuraminic acid with subterminal galactopyranose or 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-galactopyranose residue was found to be better inhibitor than that containing 23 linkages of N-acetyl neuraminic acid. Besides that sialoglycoprotein containing both N and O type of glycosidic linkages plays an important role in binding with the lectin. Fetuin was found to be the best inhibitor.     

Use of RFLP markers for the identification of alleles of the Pm3 locus conferring powdery mildew resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The objective of this study was to identify molecular markers linked to genes for resistance to powdery mildew (Pm) in wheat using a series of Chancellor near-isogenic-lines (NILs), each having one powdery mildew resistance gene. A total of 210 probes were screened for their ability to detect polymorphism between the NILs and the recurrent parent. One of these restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers (Xwhs179) revealed polymorphism not only between the NILs for the Pm3 locus, but also among NILs possessing different alleles of the Pm3 locus. The location of the marker Xwhs179 was confirmed to be on homoeologous chromosome group 1 with the help of nullitetrasomic wheat lines. The linkage relationship between this probe and the Pm3 locus was estimated with double haploid lines derived from a cross between wheat cvs Club and Chul (Pm3b). The genetic distance was determined to be 3.3±1.9 cM.     

RFLP markers to identify the alleles on the Mla locus conferring powdery mildew resistance in barley

Summary To identify the mildew resistance locus Mla in barley with molecular markers, closely linked genomic RFLP clones were selected with the help of near-isogenic lines having the Pallas and Siri background. Out of 22 polymorphic clones 3 were located around the Mla locus on chromosome 5 with a distance of 5.1 + 2.9 cM (MWG 1H068), 4.2±1.7 cM (MWG 1H060) and 0.7 ± 0.7 cM (MWG 1H036), respectively. The polymorphic clone MWG 1H036 displayed the same RFLP pattern in both Pallas and Siri near-isogenic lines and in different varieties digested with six restriction enzymes possessing the same mildew resistance gene. The alleles of the Mla locus were grouped in 11 classes according to their specific RFLP patterns; 3 of these groups contain the majority of Mla alleles already used in barley breeding programs in Europe.     

A putative major gene for rust resistance linked with a RFLP marker in sugarcane cultivar ‘R570’

Inheritance of resistance to rust was investigated in the self progeny of the sugarcane cultivar R570 also used to build a RFLP genetic map. Resistance was evaluated through both field and controlled greenhouse trials. A clear-cut 3 (resistant) 1 (susceptible) segregation indicative of a probable dominant resistant gene was observed. This is the first documented report of a monogenic inheritance for disease resistance in sugarcane. This gene was found linked at 10 cM with an RFLP marker revealed by probe CDSR29. Other minor factors involved in the resistance were also detected.     

Activities of growth inhibitors isolated from light-grown dwarf pea shoots

The growth inhibitory activities of 6 endogenous growth inhibitors isolated from light-grown dwarf peas (Pisum sativum cv. Progress No. 9) were examined in the epicotyl of dark-grown seedlings of the same cultivar in the dark in order to examine the possible contribution of these compounds to the growth inhibition brought about by red light. The activities of these natural inhibitors, including two A-2 and A-2 of as yet undetermined structure, were compared with those of synthetic growth retardants and benzyladenine. Samples were applied directly into the epicotyls via a glass capillary tube. In 24-h tests doses for a 25% inhibition (I₂₅) were: A-2, 4.3 × 10^-2: cis-xanthoxin, 1.2 × 10^-1 ; A-2, 1.6 × 10^-1; trans-xanthoxin, 1.2; R,S-dihydromaleimide, 3.5 × 10² and pisatin, 4.0 × 10² nmol plant^-1 . In 72-h tests, I₂₅'s were: benzyladenine, 1.5; AMO-1618 (ammonium-(5-hydroxycarvacryl)-trimethylchloride piperidine carboxylate), 2.4; R,S-dihydromaleimide, 4.0 × 10² and CCC (chlorocholine chloride), 1.1 × 10³ nmol plant^-1. -D-Glucosyl-R-dihydromaleimide had no activity at all. Benzyladenine caused the thickening as well as elongation inhibition of the epicotyls of intact plants. The possible involvement of A-2 and in the red light growth inhibition of dwarf peas is discussed.Abbreviations AMO-1618 ammonium-(5-hydroxycarvacryl)-trimethylchloride piperidine carboxylate - CCC chlorocholine chloride - G-DHMD -D-glucosyl-R-dihydromaleimide - I₂₅ dose required for a 25% growth inhibition - R red light author for correspondence     

Genetic analysis of morphological variation in Brassica oleracea using molecular markers

A cross between the open-pollinated Brassica oleracea cabbage cultivar Wisconsin Golden Acre and the hybrid broccoli cultivar Packman was used with molecular markers to investigate the genetic control of morphological variation. Twenty-two traits derived from leaf, stem, and flowering measurements were analyzed in 90 F₂ individuals that were also classified for genotype by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. Seventy-two RFLP loci, which covered the mapped genome at an average of 10 map-unit intervals on all nine linkage groups, were tested individually for associations to phenotypic measurements by single factor ANOVA, and markers with significant associations (P<0.05) were used to develop multilocus models. These data were utilized to describe the location, parental contribution of alleles, magnitude of effect, and the gene action of trait loci. Single marker loci that were significantly associated (P<0.05) with trait measurements accounted for 6.7–42.7% of the phenotypic variation. Multilocus models described as much as 60.1% of the phenotypic variation for a given trait. In some cases, different related traits had common marker-locus associations with similar gene action and genotypic class ranking. The numbers, action, and linkages, of genes controlling traits estimated with marker loci in this population corresponded to estimates based on classical genetic methods from other studies using similar, or similarly-wide, crosses. There was no evidence that genome duplication accounted for a significant portion of multiple genes controlling trait loci over the entire genome, but possible duplications of trait loci were identified for two regions with linked, duplicated marker loci.     

Localization of genes coding for biochemical traits on the second chromosome of Drosophila imeretensis Sokolov (D. littoralis Meigen)

We have investigated 13 alleles of four genes coding for acid phosphatase, -and -esterases, and malic enzyme. The genes were localized and their positions regarding the centromere are as follows: Acph-1—centromere—Me—cu—dt—-Est—[Inversion 2t]—-Est. The occurrence of crossing-over in Drosophila imeretensis males, as well as the tetrameric structure of malic enzyme, was confirmed.     

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms as genetic markers in soybean,Glycine max (L.) merrill

Summary Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLP) have been identified between widely distant cultivars (Minsoy and Noir 1 ) of soybean Glycine max (L.) Merrill. Using as probes randomly chosen clones of DNA, one in five probes revealed a polymorphism. More than half of these polymorphisms appear to result from rearrangements of the genomic DNA. Twenty seven markers were analyzed for linkage in F₂ plants. Eleven of these markers were contained in four linkage groups. Five cultivars were compared in a search for new alleles. When RFLP markers corresponding to low copy DNA were used to analyze three other cultivars — Sooty, Forrest and Mandarin (Ottawa) — few new alleles were found. Using these probes, five different markers could be used to differentiate the five cultivars. Complex probes, which correspond to repeated DNA, revealed different polymorphisms in different cultivars and a single such probe could be used to distinguish the five cultivars from each other.     

RFLP mapping of Brassica napus using doubled haploid lines

The combined use of doubled haploid lines and molecular markers can provide new genetic information for use in breeding programs. An F₁-derived doubled haploid (DH) population of Brassica napus obtained from a cross between an annual canola cultivar (Stellar) and a biennial rapeseed (Major) was used to construct a linkage map of 132 restriction fragment length polymorphism loci. The marker loci were arranged into 22 linkage groups and six pairs of linked loci covering 1016 cM. The DH map was compared to a partial map constructed with a common set of markers for an F₂ population derived from the same F₁ plant, and the overall maps were not significantly different. Comparisons of maps in Brassica species suggest that less recombination occurs in B. napus (n = 19) than expected from the combined map distances of the two hypothesized diploid progenitors, B. oleracea (n = 9) and B. rapa (n=10). A high percentage (32%) of segregating marker loci were duplicated in the DH map, and conserved linkage arrangements of some duplicated loci indicated possible intergenome homoeology in the amphidiploid or intragenome duplications from the diploid progenitors. Deviation from Mendelian segregation ratios (P < 0.05) was observed for 30% of the marker loci in the DH population and for 24% in the F₂ population. Deviation towards each parent occurred at equal frequencies in both populations and marker loci that showed deviation clustered in specific linkage groups. The DH lines and molecular marker map generated for this study can be used to map loci for agronomic traits segregating in this population.

Identification of restriction fragment length polymorphisms linked to genes controlling soluble solids content in tomato fruit

Summary Gene(s) conferring high soluble solids (SS) in tomato fruit had been backcrossed previously from a wild tomato species, Lycopersicon chmielewskii LA1028 ( 10% SS), into a L. esculentum cultivar, VF36 ( 5% SS), to derive a BC₅S₅ line, LA1563, similar to VF 36 but with 7–8% SS. DNAs from these lines and a tomato breeding line, H2038, were screened for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) using four restriction endonucleases and sixty clones chosen at random from a tomato cDNA library. Most of the cDNA clones (56) identified the same RFLP in VF 36 and LA1563 and a different RFLP in LA1028. However, two cDNA clones identified the same RFLP in LA1563 and LA1028 and a different RFLP in VF36. To determine whether RFLPs identified by these two cDNA clones were linked to SS genes, a H2038 x LA1563 F₂ population was screened for segregation of the RFLPs and for SS content. The segregation ratios of these RFLPs were consistent with ratios expected for codominant alleles at unlinked loci. Analysis of variance of SS content for different RFLP genotypic classes indicated that RFLP alleles at one of the loci were linked to genes controlling SS content. The RFLP allele from the high SS tomato line, LA1563, was associated with significantly higher SS content and, therefore, could be useful in selecting for high SS gene(s) in a tomato breeding program.     

The Use of the [13C]/[12C] Ratio for the Assay of the Microbial Oxidation of Hydrocarbons

The study deals with a comparative analysis of the relative abundances of the carbon isotopes ¹²C and ¹³C in the metabolites and biomass of the Burkholderia sp. BS3702 and Pseudomonas putida BS202-p strains capable of utilizing aliphatic (n-hexadecane) and aromatic (naphthalene) hydrocarbons as sources of carbon and energy. The isotope compositions of the carbon dioxide, biomass, and exometabolites produced during the growth of Burkholderia sp. BS3702 on n-hexadecane (¹³C = –44.6 ± 0.2) were characterized by the values of ¹³C_{CO 2} = –50.2 ± 0.4, ¹³C_biom = –46.6 ± 0.4, and ¹³C_exo = –41.5 ± 0.4, respectively. The isotope compositions of the carbon dioxide, biomass, and exometabolites produced during the growth of the same bacterial strain on naphthalene (¹³C = –21 ± 0.4) were characterized by the isotope effects ¹³C_{CO 2} = –24.1 ± 0.4, ¹³C_biom = –19.2 ± 0.4, and ¹³C_exo = –19.1 ± 0.4, respectively. The possibility of using the isotope composition of metabolic carbon dioxide for the rapid monitoring of the microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the environment is discussed.     

Purification and properties of a hyperthermoactive α-amylase from the archaeobacterium Pyrococcus woesei

The cultivation of the hyperthermophilic archaeobacterium Pyrococcus woesei on starch under continuous gassing (80% H₂:20% CO₂) caused the formation of 250 U/l of an extremely thermoactive and thermostable -amylase. In a complex medium without elemental sulphur under 80% N₂ and 20% CO₂ atmosphere enzyme production could be elevated up to 1000 U/l. Pyrococcus woesei grew preferentially on poly-and oligosaccharides. The amylolytic enzyme formation was constitutive. Enzyme production was also observed in continuous culture at dilution rates from 0.1 to 0.4 h^-1. A 20-fold enrichment of -amylase was achieved after adsorption of the enzyme onto starch and its desorption by preparative gel electrophoresis. The -amylase consisted of a single subunit with a molecular mass of 70 000 and was catalytically active at a temperature range between 40°C and 130°C. Enzymatic activity was detected even after autoclaving at a pressure of 2 bars at 120°C for 5 h. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed exclusively -1,4-glycosidic linkages present in glucose polymers of various sizes. Unlike many -amylases from anaerobes the enzyme from P. woesei was unable to attack short chain oligosaccharides with a chain length between 2 and 6 glucose units.     

Fluorescence microscopy and radiolabeling of C3 and C4 chloroplasts using diisothiocyanatostilbene disulfonic acid as a marker for the phosphate translocator

The usefulness of 4,4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (DIDS) for in-situ studies of the chloroplast phosphate translocator was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and radiolabeling of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) (C₃ plant) and maize (Zea mays L.) (C₄ plant) chloroplasts. In maize mesophyll and bundle-sheath chloroplasts and in spinach chloroplasts that were either intact, broken or swollen, DIDS fluorescence was only associated with the chloroplast envelope. Intact chloroplasts often had fluorescent patches corresponding to concave regions of the chloroplast which we assume to be regions enriched in DIDS-binding sites.Incubation of intact or broken spinach chloroplasts or maize mesophyll chloroplasts with [³H₂]DIDS resulted in the labeling of a single polypeptide (relative molecular mass, M_r, 30 kDa) in the envelope fraction, in each case. Label in the stromal fraction was not detected when intact chloroplasts were incubated with [³H₂]DIDS. However, when broken chloroplasts were incubated with [³H₂]DIDS, several polypeptides of various molecular masses were labeled, but not the 30×31-kDa polypeptide. In thylakoid fractions from both broken and intact chloroplasts, a single 30×31-kDa polypeptide was labeled inconsistently. When a mixture of intact maize mesophyll and bundle-sheath chloroplasts was labeled with [³H₂]DIDS, extracts of whole chloroplasts displayed radioactivity only in the 30×31-kDa band.We conclude that DIDS is a valuable probe for the in-situ identification and characterization of the 30-kDa protein — the presumptive phosphate translocator — in C₃ and C₄ chloroplasts since DIDS (1) does not penetrate the inner membrane of the envelope of intact chloroplasts and, therefore, (2) does not bind internal sites in intact chloroplasts, and (3) only binds the 30-kDa protein in the inner membrane of the envelope.Abbreviations CBB Coomassie brilliant blue - DIC differential interference contrast optics - DIDS 4,4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid - [³H₂]DIDS 1,2-ditritio-1,2-(2,2-disulfo-4,4-diisothiocyano)diphenylethane - kDa kilodalton - M_r relative molecular mass - PGA 3-phosphoglycerate - Pitranslocator phosphate translocator - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate
