活的但非可培养(“viable but non-culturable”,简称VBNC)状态是微生物应对各种环境压力的一种生存机制.面对日益严重的异生质污染问题,研究污染胁迫下VBNC状态菌的潜在环境功能具有重要意义.该文阐述了VBNC状态菌的研究现状,针对多氯联苯微生物降解存在的问题,重点介绍环境中潜在VBNC功能菌群的复苏培养.提出利用藤黄球菌(Micrococcus luteus)复苏促进因子(resuscitation-promoting factor,简称Rpf)探索具有潜在多氯联苯降解功能的VBNC状态菌群,为多氯联苯高效降解菌群的筛选提供新思路.同时,结合VBNC状态菌絮凝、硝化除臭等方面的探索研究,对VBNC状态菌的潜在环境功能进行了展望.     

微生物VBNC状态形成及复苏机制

99%以上的微生物因处于活的但非可培养(viable but non-culturable,VBNC)状态而无法分离培养。复苏促进因子(resuscitation-promoting factors,Rpfs)是培养获取VBNC菌的最重要突破。结合课题组近十余年从环境功能视角利用Rpf复苏培养VBNC菌的研究,本文在阐述微生物VBNC状态的形成及复苏进展的基础上,从VBNC菌形成及复苏过程出发,探究"探索因子"与群体感应的内在关系。并总结了课题组利用Rpf所复苏培养的具有潜在环境功能的VBNC菌种。本论文将为揭示微生物VBNC状态的形成及复苏机制提供新的思路,并为认识和重新评价Rpf法复苏培养VBNC菌在污染环境微生物修复中的作用提供理论依据。     

细菌有活力但不可培养状态及其机制研究进展

有活力但不可培养(viable but non-culturable,VBNC)状态是细菌遭遇逆境时进入的一种特殊状态,该状态下的菌体在条件适宜时可复苏并恢复其致病性,被认为是细菌躲避不良环境的一种生存策略。VBNC状态菌体对人类医学和工农业生产具有巨大的潜在威胁,开展关于VBNC状态的检测及诱导、复苏及其机制研究可为减少或避免该状态细菌的危害提供理论基础。本文简要综述了细菌VBNC状态在诱导、复苏及致病性等方面的研究进展,并结合本实验室及国内外相关团队近年来在植物病原细菌VBNC状态研究中的结果,详细总结了VBNC状态细菌的形成和复苏机制,对植物病原细菌在环境胁迫下的存活机制、病害田间初侵染来源分析及VBNC状态菌体在病害循环中的作用等相关研究具有重要参考意义。     

环境中"活的非可培养(VBNC)"细菌的研究进展

1982年徐怀恕等通过对V.cholerae和E.coli存活规律的研究,首次发现并提出了细菌“活的非可培养”状态(Viable but non—culturable state,VBNC),即细菌处于不良环境条件下,其细胞通常缩成球形(最近许多研究中发现还有些细菌表现为体积增大,细胞伸长),用常规方法培养不能使其生长繁殖,但仍然具有代谢活性,在DNA合成抑制剂的作用下,添加一定量的营养物培养时,这些细胞虽然不能分裂,但仍可以伸长生长,证明其仍然存活,并非死亡。处于VBNC状态的细菌,在一定的条件下可以复苏,并具有潜在的致病性,如V.cholerae即通过这种形式实现越冬。至今已有多种细菌进入VBNC状态的报道,许多G^-菌及某些不形成芽胞的G^ 菌在不良环境条件下都可能进入该状态。这些细菌通过进入VBNC状态,得以渡过难关并存活下来,成为细菌的一种特殊存活形式。现在,细菌VBNC状态已作为微生物学的一个全新概念,受到极大的关注,它对传统的微生态学、食品安全、水质监测、菌种保藏及流行病学研究等均提出了新的挑战,也为人们应用基因工程菌的危险性评估提供了新的认识,本文对环境中VBNC细菌的研究进展进行了综述。

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.
