掷孢菌科的研究III．不同掷孢酵母属产掷孢子的能力及担子菌酵母形成特大厚垣孢子的规律

本文以分离自中国的大量掷孢酵母为材料,研究了不同属的掷孢酵母生掷孢子的能力,以及此能力的持久性,发现属间差异很大。此外还报道了142株不同酵母的产厚垣孢子的情况,发现与担子菌有关的4属酵母在接近致死温度时,都会出现特大厚垣孢子如红掷静酵母Sporobolomyces),布勒掷孢酵母(Bullera),红酵母(Rhodotorula)与隐球酵母(Cryp-tococcus),而属于子囊菌的酵母属(Saccharomyces)则无此现象,从而对某些接近担子菌的酵母又增加了新的认识。

以掷孢酵母作为伴生菌与氧化葡萄糖酸杆菌组成新混菌体系,通过测定生长代谢曲线,对其产酸性能和特点进行了研究。结果表明：相同条件下,新菌系产酸能力高于现有菌系,酸量增加5-7mg/ml,发酵周期缩短6-8h,酸转化率提高3-4%,最高产酸点pH值下降约0.5个单位,表现出较大的产酸潜力和可修饰性。     

梗孢酵母属的一个新种

作者于1978年从福建省福州市西湖公园的芒果花中分离出一株酵母1519。该菌株不产生子囊孢子、掷孢子,亦未见到有锁状连合。未发现有性繁殖。无性繁殖是在母细胞上产生小梗,小梗上产生子细胞,子细胞还可再生小梗再生子细胞。如果子细胞不脱落则成链状或分枝的链状。不发酵任何糖。按照形态和繁殖特征只符合Lodder(1970)酵母分类专著中半知菌部分的梗孢酵母。因此将它放入梗孢酵母属,命名为福州梗孢酵母(Sterigmatomyces fuzhouensis sp.n.)。

锁掷酵母预处理油脂原料膨化大豆

通过3株红酵母对膨化大豆进行固态发酵预处理,油脂和豆粕中类胡萝卜素的含量都显著增加,且油脂中脂肪酸组成没有显著变化。其中,锁掷酵母发酵膨化大豆所提取的油脂中类胡萝卜素含量最高,为15.010μg/g,比未发酵样品提高了5.526倍。进一步对锁掷酵母固态发酵进行工艺优化,培养时间、培养基含水量、接种量和发酵温度均显著影响油脂中类胡萝卜素的含量(P<0.05),且确定最佳培养条件为培养基含水量50%、接种量50%、培养温度30℃、发酵时间72 h,优化后油脂中类胡萝卜素含量较优化前提高了7.928%,所得功能性油脂符合油脂常规理化指标的国家标准。本研究表明,通过锁掷酵母对膨化大豆进行固态发酵预处理,所得油脂含有丰富的类胡萝卜素,且发酵后豆粕的营养价值也有所提升,这为开发富含微生物来源的生物活性物质、营养价值提升的功能油脂产品奠定了研究基础。     

Are cryptic species of the Lesser Egyptian Jerboa,Jaculus jaculus (Rodentia,Dipodidae), really cryptic? Re‐evaluation of their taxonomic status with new data from Israel and Sinai

Two clades of the lesser Egyptian jerboa Jaculus jaculus sensu lato were recently described in North Africa and considered as cryptic species. Members of both clades are also found in Israel, where they can be easily identified according to fur and tail colouration and morphology of the male external genitalia, but cannot be separated confidently using skull characters. Examination of type specimens demonstrated that the correct names for the two species are Jaculus jaculus (Linnaeus 1758) and Jaculus hirtipes (Lichtenstein, 1823). Comparisons of geographic and habitat differences of the two species revealed a high niche divergence between them, slightly higher in the sympatric North African populations than in the parapatric populations of Israel and Sinai. A low niche divergence was detected between North African and Middle Eastern populations of J. jaculus, and a low niche convergence between North African and Middle Eastern populations of J. hirtipes. The levels of niche differentiation coincide with those of genetic differences.

Uptake of chromium(III) and chromium(VI) compounds in the yeast cell structure

The study presented in this article investigated the influence of different Cr(III) and Cr(VI) compounds in the cultivation medium on the uptake and localization of chromium in the cell structure of the yeast Candida intermedia. The morphology of the yeast cell surface was observed by the scanning electron microscopy. Results demonstrated that the growth inhibitory concentration of Cr(III) in the cultivation medium induced changes in the yeast cell shape and affected the budding pattern, while inhibitory concentration of Cr(VI) did not cause any visible effects on morphological properties of the yeast cells. The amount of total accumulated chromium in yeast cells and the distribution of chromium between the yeast cell walls and spheroplasts were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. No significant differences were found neither in total chromium accumulation nor in the distribution of chromium in yeast cell walls and spheroplasts between the two of Cr(VI) compounds. Conversely, substantial differences between Cr(III) compounds were demonstrated in the total uptake as well as the localization of chromium in yeast cells.     

中国西南四种常见松树火适应性状比较

野火对松属植物的进化和分布有重要的影响。在与野火长期抗争中,松属植物形成了一系列性状提高在易火生境中的适合度,维持种群生存与繁衍。西南地区是中国野火高发区,作为这一地区特有松树,云南松、思茅松和高山松具有一些典型的火适应性状,如厚树皮。以这3种松树和东部常见的马尾松为研究对象,比较4种松树的火适应对策。结果表明：4种松树的火适应性状存在一定的差异。与火适应相关的13项性状主成分分析显示,4个种在空间上总体是分离的,也表现出一些重叠。其中云南松火适应生活史对策是火耐受型和火依赖型的中间类型,适应会发生林冠火的生境。高山松、思茅松和马尾松都是火耐受型,通过快速高生长、厚树皮等性状适应生境不同频度的地表火。四种松树火适应对策与分布区火险基本相符。表明野火在这一区域广泛存在,并对植物进化和森林格局有重要影响。野火在西南地区松属分布和种群维持中的生态作用应被给予足够重视。     

人胚胎神经干细胞的基础及应用研究进展

神经干细胞是中枢神经系统中具有增殖、自我更新能力以及多种分化潜能的细胞,对它的研究已经成为神经生物学、发育生物学以及脑科学研究的一个热点。随着神经干细胞（特别是胚胎神经干细胞）的分离、培养成功,神经干细胞移植已被尝试用于神经系统损伤等疾病的治疗。但是,关于胚胎神经干细胞的研究尚处于初级阶段,特别是人胚胎神经干细胞的研究、报道还比较少。本文对国内、外近几年来关于人胚胎神经干细胞的基础及应用研究进展作了综述。     

Theoretical and experimental study of the membrane pore effect on the amplitude-frequency dependence of polarizability of a cell

The amplitude-frequency dependence of the polarizability of erythrocytes, yeast cells, and latex particles in the range of 1–10⁶ Hz was studied by the method of dielectrophoresis (DEP). Positive DEP of erythrocytes and yeast cells in a frequency range of 60–100 Hz was revealed. The positive DEP of cells in the given range is theoretically explained by appearance of a great number of transverse pores through the membrane and wall of the cell.     

Tenascin-Y, a component of distinctive connective tissues, supports muscle cell growth

Chicken tenascin-Y is an extracellular matrix protein most closely related to the mammalian tenascin-X. It is highly expressed in the connective tissue of skeletal muscle (C. Hagios, M. Koch, J. Spring, M. Chiquet, and R. Chiquet-Ehrismann, 1996, J. Cell Biol. 134, 1499-1512). Here we demonstrate the presence of tenascin-Y in specific areas of the connective tissues in developing lung, kidney, and skin. In skin tenascin-Y shows a complementary expression pattern to tenascin-C, whereas in the lung and kidney the sites of expression are partly overlapping. Tenascin-Y is also present in embryonic skeletal muscle where it is expressed in the developing connective tissue in between the muscle fibers. This connective tissue is also the major site of alpha5 integrin expression. We purified recombinantly expressed tenascin-Y and tested its effect on cell adhesion and its influence on muscle cell growth and differentiation. C2C12 myoblasts were able to adhere to tenascin-Y and showed extensive formation of actin-rich processes without generation of stress fibers. Furthermore, we found that tenascin-Y influenced cell morphology of chick embryo fibroblasts over prolonged times in culture and that it supports primary muscle cell growth and restricts muscle cell differentiation.
