By means of dropping GA3(50 ppm) and NAA (40 ppm) on the hybrid boll-embryo culturein vitro, one F1 plant ofG. hirsutum × G. bickii was obtained; when F1 branches were grafted on upland cotton and then back-crossed with upland cotton under short-day and cooler-night condition,
some BC1 seeds could be harvested. The characteristic segregation was very violent in early generation. Through 3 times of back-crossing
and selecting, ten stable hybrid lines with the character of both male parent (viz. red petal-purple spot and strong fibre)
and female parent (plant type, earliness, white fibre, lint length, etc.) were established. These lines were assigned as HB
red flower lines (HBRL). Transference of character ofG. bickii to upland cotton was proved to be successful for the first time. These new germplasms may play an important role in both
the genetic research and new cotton variety breeding. 相似文献

Two moderately halophilic low G + C Gram-positive bacteria were isolated from a sample of salted skate (Class Chondrychthyes, Genus Raja). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strains RH1T and RH4 showed that these organisms represented a novel species of the genus Salinicoccus. The new isolates formed pink–red colonies and flocculated in liquid media, with optimum growth in media containing 4% NaCl and pH of about 8.0. These organisms are aerobic but reduce nitrate to nitrite under anaerobic conditions. Acid is produced from several carbohydrates. Oxidase and catalase were detected. Menaquinone 6 was the major respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids of strains RH1T and RH4 were 15:0 anteiso and 15:0 iso. The G + C contents of DNA were 46.2 and 46.0 mol%, respectively. The peptidoglycan was of A3alpha L-Lys-Gly5–6 type. On the basis of the phylogenetic analyses, physiological and biochemical characteristics, we suggest that strain RH1T (=LMG 22840 = CIP 108576) represents a new species of the genus Salinicoccus, for which we propose the name Salinicoccus salsiraiae. 相似文献

为了解马尾松(Pinus massoniana)磷酸甘油酸激酶1(PGK1)与胞质溶胶葡萄糖磷酸异构酶(GPIC)的功能,采用RACE技术克隆了PmPGK1和PmGPIC基因,并进行了生物信息学分析与亚细胞定位,采用实时荧光定量PCR技术分析PmPGK1和PmGPIC的表达特性。结果表明,PmPGK1和PmGPIC全长为2 106和1 848 bp,分别编码507和566个氨基酸。PmPGK1和PmGPIC分别定位于叶绿体和胞质溶胶。PmPGK1表达量为新叶 > 老叶 > 新茎 > 根 > 花;而PmGPIC为老叶 > 花 > 新叶 > 新茎 > 根。低温胁迫24 h,PmPGK1和PmGPIC的表达量均随时间延长先降低后升高,且PmGPIC的表达量在处理2 h后即降至较低水平;高浓度CO2胁迫24 h,PmPGK1的表达量随时间延长呈降低-升高-再降低的变化趋势,PmGPIC的表达下调但变化较不显著。因此,推测PmPGK1主要参与卡尔文循环及叶绿体/质体糖酵解,PmGPIC主要参与细胞质基质糖酵解;PmPGK1、PmGPIC活性在低温胁迫下均受抑制;PmPGK1活性在CO2胁迫下受到显著抑制,而PmGPIC活性的影响不大。 相似文献

Two novel flavonoids with chalcone skeleton, together with seven known flavonoids, were isolated from the stem barks of Litsea rubescens and Litsea pedunculata. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral methods including IR, UV, 1D and 2D NMR. The new chalcones were found to contain the rare epoxy or ethylidenedioxy group. This is the first report on the presence of chalcone in the plant genus Litsea. The cytotoxic potential of two new chalcones was evaluated in vitro against three human tumor cell lines. Both new chalcones displayed potent cytotoxic activities against myeloid leukaemia (HL-60) and epidermoid carcinoma (A431) cell lines and more active than cisplatin (DDP). Interestingly, compound 1 exhibited cytotoxic activity against HL-60 with IC50 value 2.1-fold more sensitive to DDP. 相似文献

A previously undescribed, H2-oxidizing CO2-reducing acetogenic bacterium was isolated from gut contents of the wood-feeding termite, Pterotermes occidentis. Cells of representative strain APO-1 were strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative, endospore-forming motile rods which measured 0.30–0.40×6–60 m. Cells were catalase positive, oxidase negative, and had 51.5 mol percent G+C in their DNA. Optimum conditions for growth on H2+CO2 were at 30–33°C and pH (initial) 7.8, and under these conditions cells formed acetate according to the equation: 4 H2+2 CO2CH3COOH+2 H2O. Other energy sources supporting good growth of strain APO-1 included glucose, ribose, and various organic acids. Acetate and butyrate were major fermentation products from most organic compounds tested, however propionate, succinate, and 1,2-propanediol were also formed from some substrates. Based on comparative analysis of 16S rRNA nucleotide sequences, strain APO-1 was related to, but distinct from, members of the genus Sporomusa. Moreover, physiological and morphological differences between strain APO-1 and the six known species of Sporomusa were significant. Consequently, it is proposed herewith that a new genus, Acetonema, be established with strain APO-1 as the type strain of the new species, Acetonema longum. A. longum may contribute to the nutrition of P. occidentis by forming acetate, propionate and butyrate, compounds which are important carbon and energy sources for termites. 相似文献

The genes cry1Ac and cry1Ca from Bacillus thuringiensis subsps. kurstaki HD-73 and aizawai 4J4, respectively, encoding δ-endotoxins against lepidopteran larvae were isolated, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, with and without cyt1Aa (encoding cytolytic protein) and p20 (accessory protein) from subsp. israelensis. Nine combinations of the genes under control of an early T7, P
A1
inducible promoter, produced the encoding proteins. Toxicities were examined against larvae of three major agricultural pests:
Pectinophora gossypiella, Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera littoralis. The clones expressing cyt1Aa, with or without p20, were not toxic. The clone expressing cry1Ac (pBt-1A) was the most toxic to P. gossypiella (LC50 of 0.27 × 108 cells g−1). Clone pBt-1CA expressing cry1Ca and cry1Ac displayed the highest toxicity (LC50 of 0.12 × 108 cells ml−1) against S. littoralis. Clone pBt-1CARCy expressing all four genes (cry1Ca, cry1Ac, p20, cyt1Aa) in tandem exhibited the highest toxicity to H. armigera (LC50 of 0.16 × 108 cells ml−1). Cyt1Aa failed to raise the toxicity of these Cry toxins against P. gossypiella and S. littoralis but significantly enhanced toxicity against H. armigera. Two additional clones expressing either cry1Ac or cry1Ca under tandem promoters, P
A1
and P
psbA
(constitutive), displayed significantly higher toxicities (7.5- to 140-fold) than their counterparts with P
A1
alone, reducing the LC50 values to below 107 cells ml−1.

Strain SR 1T was isolated under anaerobic conditions using elemental sulfur as electron acceptor and acetate as carbon and energy source
from the Thiopaq bioreactor in Eerbeek (The Netherlands), which is removing H2S from biogas by oxidation to elemental sulfur under oxygen-limiting and moderately haloalkaline conditions. The bacterium
is obligately anaerobic, using elemental sulfur, nitrate and fumarate as electron acceptors. Elemental sulfur is reduced to
sulfide through intermediate polysulfide, while nitrate is dissimilatory reduced to ammonium. Furthermore, in the presence
of nitrate, strain SR 1T was able to oxidize limited amounts of sulfide to elemental sulfur during anaerobic growth with acetate. The new isolate
is mesophilic and belongs to moderate haloalkaliphiles, with a pH range for growth (on acetate and nitrate) from 7.5 to 10.25
(optimum 9.0), and a salt range from 0.1 to 2.5 M Na+ (optimum 0.4 M). According to phylogenetic analysis, SR 1T is a member of a deep bacterial lineage, distantly related to Chrysiogenes arsenatis (Macy et al. 1996). On the basis of the phenotypic and genetic data, the novel isolate is placed into a new genus and species, Desulfurispirillum alkaliphilum (type strain SRT = DSM 18275 = UNIQEM U250).
Nucleotide sequence accession number: the GenBank/EMBL accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SR 1T is DQ666683. 相似文献

Summary Two different strains, An 1 and An 2, were obtained from root nodules ofAlnus nitida Endl., collected from one locality in the area of its natural habitat near Bahrin, District Swat, Pakistan. The light and electron microscopy of the isolates revealed the occurrence of septate and branched hyphae bearing sporangia and vesicles. The strains differed in their growth requirements, nitrogen-fixing ability and production of extracellular pigments, thus indicating the existence of more than oneFrankia strain in the same locality. In the absence of combined nitrogen in the medium strain An 1 formed vesicles and fixed N2 (up to 200 nmol C2H4. mg protein–1.h–1), while strain An 2 under the experimental conditions formed only few vesicles and fixed N2 at a very low rate (ca 10 nmol C2H4. mg protein–1 .h–1). The nitrogenase activity of strain An 1 was strongly affected by the O2 concentration.Frankia An 1 and An 2 were infective and effective onA. nitida andA. glutinosa but not onDatisca cannabina andElaeagnus umbellata. Both An 1 and An 2 strains were more infective and effective onA. glutinosa thanFrankia strains AvcIl and CpI1. 相似文献

Lacto-N-biose phosphorylase (LNBP) from bifidobacteria is involved in the metabolism of lacto-N-biose I (Galβ1→3GlcNAc, LNB) and galacto-N-biose (Galβ1→3GalNAc, GNB). A homologous gene of LNBP (CPF0553 protein) was identified in the genome of Clostridium perfringens ATCC13124, which is a gram-positive anaerobic intestinal bacterium. In the present study, we cloned the gene and compared
the substrate specificity of the CPF0553 protein with LNBP from Bifidobacterium longum JCM1217 (LNBPBl). In the presence of α-galactose 1-phosphate (Gal 1-P) as a donor, the CPF0553 protein acted only on GlcNAc and GalNAc, and
GalNAc was a more effective acceptor than GlcNAc. The reaction product from GlcNAc/GalNAc and Gal 1-P was identified as LNB
or GNB. The CPF0553 protein also phosphorolyzed GNB much faster than LNB, which suggests that the protein should be named
galacto-N-biose phosphorylase (GNBP). GNBP showed a k
cat/K
m value for GNB that was approximately 50 times higher than that for LNB, whereas LNBPBl showed similar k
cat/K
m values for both GNB and LNB. Because C. perfringens possesses a gene coding endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, GNBP may play a role in the intestinal residence by metabolizing GNB that is available as a mucin
core sugar. 相似文献

Seven new triterpene glycosides, erylosides R1 (1), T1 (3), T2 (4), T3 (5), T4 (6), T5 (7), and T6 (8) along with the known formoside (2) were isolated from the sponge Erylus formosus collected along the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Glycoside 1 was determined as a trisaccharide, glycoside 2 as a tetrasaccharide while glycosides 3–8 were hexasaccharide. Their carbohydrate chains were unprecedented and have never been found in oligosaccharides from other biological sources, except Erylus spp. Three carbohydrate chains in the glycosides 3 and 6, 4 and 7, 5 and 8 correspondingly are new. The glycosides 1–5 have penasterol as aglycone while glycosides 6–8 proved to be glycoconjugates of 24-methylene-14-carboxy-lanost-8(9)-en-3β-ol. 相似文献

采用同源克隆的方法,获得盐生植物灰绿藜的液泡膜焦磷酸酶基因(VP1)全长cDNA,命名为CgVP1。生物信息学预测分析表明,CgVP1基因包含一个2 292bp的开放阅读框,编码763个氨基酸。CgVP1不仅具有与植物液泡膜焦磷酸酶共有的氨基酸序列DVGADLVGKVE,而且CgVP1与其它植物的VP1相似性达86%。跨膜结构域预测显示,CgVP1氨基酸序列含有12个跨膜螺旋区,可能定位于细胞膜系统上。RT-PCR检测表明,200mmol/L NaCl条件下萌发生长的灰绿藜,再进行800mmol/L NaCl胁迫处理24h后,CgVP1基因表达显著增强。不同浓度KCl、CaCl2、MgCl2分别处理24h,KCl和MgCl2浓度增高,CgVP1基因表达下降,CaCl2则不影响CgVP1基因表达。研究结果表明,灰绿藜CgVP1基因表达对不同种类盐胁迫响应不同,NaCl胁迫可以上调CgVP1基因表达。该研究结果有助于阐明盐胁迫对盐生植物灰绿藜CgVP1基因表达的调控作用。 相似文献

Acinetobacter strain IVS-B aerobically grows on isovalerate as sole carbon and energy source. Isovalerate is metabolised via isovaleryl-CoA, an intermediate of the oxidative (S)-leucine degradation pathway. A 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase (EC 4.2.1.18) was purified 65-fold to apparent homogeneity from cell-free extracts of isovalerate-grown cells of Acinetobacter strain IVS-B. The enzyme was found to be a homotetramer (115.2 kDa) composed of four identical subunits of 28.8 kDa not containing any cofactors. The enzyme was shown to catalyse the hydration of (E)-glutaconyl-CoA (k
cat=18 s−1, K
m=40 μM) and the dehydration of (S)-3-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA (k
cat=13 s−1, K
m=52 μM), albeit with somewhat lower catalytic efficiencies as compared to the 3-methyl derivatives, 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA (k
cat=138 s−1, K
m=14 μM) and (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (k
cat=60 s−1, K
m=36 μM). Thus, the mechanistically simple syn-addition of water to the (E)-isomer of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA of the leucine degradative pathway leading to the common intermediate (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA was assigned as the major physiological role to this enzyme. The amino acid sequence of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase from Acinetobacter sp. was found to be related to over 100 prokaryotic enoyl-CoA hydratases (up to 50% identity), possibly all being 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratases.An erratum to this article can be found at 相似文献

A methanogen, strain AK-1, was isolated from permanently cold marine sediments, 38- to 45-cm below the sediment surface at
Skan Bay, Alaska. The cells were highly irregular, nonmotile coccoids (diameter, 1 to 1.2 μm), occurring singly. Cells grew
by reducing CO2 with H2 or formate as electron donor. Growth on formate was much slower than that on H2. Acetate, methanol, ethanol, 1- or 2-propanol, 1- or 2-butanol and trimethylamine were not catabolized. The cells required
acetate, thiamine, riboflavin, a high concentration of vitamin B12, and peptones for growth; yeast extract stimulated growth but was not required. The cells grew fastest at 25 °C (range 5
°C to 25 °C), at a pH of 6.0 – 6.6 (growth range, pH 5.5 – 7.5), and at a salinity of 0.25 – 1.25 M Na+. Cells of this and other H2-using methanogens from saline environments metabolized H2 to a very low threshold pressure (less than 1 Pa) that was dependent on the methane partial pressure. We propose that the
threshold pressure may be limited by the energetics of catabolism. The sequence of the 16S rDNA gene of strain AK-1 was most
similar (98%) to the sequences of Methanogenium cariaci JR-1 and Methanogenium frigidum Ace-2. DNA–DNA hybridization between strain AK-1 and these two strains showed only 34.9% similarity to strain JR-1 and 56.5%
similarity to strain Ace-2. These analyses indicated strain AK-1 should be classified as a new species within the genus Methanogenium. Phenotypic differences between strain AK-1 and these strains (including growth temperature, salinity range, pH range, and
nutrient requirements) support this. Therefore, a new species, Methanogenium marinum, is proposed with strain AK-1 as type strain.

Evaporation of water from the cell surface of the internode ofChara corallina was not affected by HgCl2 which is known to inhibit water channels. This makes a sharp contrast to the fact that most of osmotically driven water transport
is inhibited by HgCl2. Also in radish hypocotyls whose epidermis had been peeled off, evaporation of water was not inhibited by HgCl2, while osmotic water transport was significantly inhibited.
The cell wall tube was prepared by squeezing out the content of theChara internode. The rate of evaporation from the cell wall tube filled with 150 mM KCl was almost equal to that from the living
cell. The apparent hydraulic conductivity of the cell calculated from evaporation rate was found to be 1–2×10−3 pm s−1 Pa−1 which is about 1/1000 times the hydraulic conductivity of the plasma membrane (Lp) and 1/40 times the Lp under maximal inhibition with HgCl2.
It is concluded that under the relative humidity of 53–70% the rate of evaporation of water from the cell surface is limited
by the rate of evaporation from the cell wall which is so low that the loss of water can be supplemented without delay from
the cell interior across the plasma membrane even when water channels are completely closed. 相似文献

Citric acid production from sucrose using a recombinant strain of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is able to secrete high amounts of several organic acids under conditions of growth limitation and carbon source excess.
Here we report the production of citric acid (CA) in a fed-batch cultivation process on sucrose using the recombinant Y. lipolytica strain H222-S4(p67ICL1) T5, harbouring the invertase encoding ScSUC2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the inducible XPR2 promoter control and multiple ICL1 copies (10–15). The pH-dependent expression of invertase was low at pH 5.0 and was identified as limiting factor of the CA-production
bioprocess. The invertase expression was sufficiently enhanced at pH 6.0–6.8 and resulted in production of 127–140 g l−1 CA with a yield Y
CA of 0.75–0.82 g g−1, whereas at pH 5.0, 87 g l −1 with a yield Y
CA of 0.51 gg−1 were produced. The CA-productivity Q
CA increased from 0.40 g l −1 h−1 at pH 5.0 up to 0.73 g l −1 h−1 at pH 6.8. Accumulation of glucose and fructose at high invertase expression level at pH 6.8 indicated a limitation of CA
production by sugar uptake. The strain H222-S4(p67ICL1) T5 also exhibited a gene–dose-dependent high isocitrate lyase expression
resulting in strong reduction (<5%) of isocitric acid, a by-product during CA production. 相似文献

In plant populations exhibiting gametophytic self-incompatibility, individuals harbouring rare S alleles are likely to have a reproductive advantage over individuals having more common alleles. Consequently, determination
of the self-incompatibility haplotype of individuals is essential for genetic studies and the development of informed management
strategies. This study characterises six new S alleles identified in wild cherry (Prunus avium L.). Investigations to determine the S genotype of individuals in recently planted woodland through length polymorphisms of introns associated with the stylar S-RNase gene and the pollen SFB gene revealed six S intron profiles which did not correspond to those of known S alleles. These are now attributed to S
27
to S
32
. Consensus primers, annealing in the S-RNase sequence coding for the signal peptide and C5 regions, were used to isolate the S-RNase alleles associated with the novel S intron profiles. The proteins corresponding to the new alleles were separated by isoelectric focusing from stylar extracts
and their pI values determined. Similarities between the deduced amino acid sequence for the new alleles isolated and other cherry S-RNase sequences available on the databases ranged from 40% to 86%. Amplification products for SFB introns ranged from 172 to 208bp. New sequence regions exposed to positive selection were identified and the significance
of the PS3 region reinforced. A phylogenetic relationship between P. avium S-RNases for S
10
and S
13
and between corresponding SFB alleles may indicate co-evolution of allele specificities of these two genes.
