不同碳源条件下广叶绣球菌转录组分析

【背景】广叶绣球菌(Sparassis latifolia)是一种名贵的食用菌,其木质纤维素降解的分子机制尚不明确。【目的】了解广叶绣球菌在不同碳源条件下木质纤维素降解相关基因表达动态。【方法】通过转录组测序技术对分别以葡萄糖、纤维素+木质素、纤维素及松木屑为碳源的广叶绣球菌基因表达谱进行分析。以葡萄糖为碳源的样本为对照,分别对不同碳源下广叶绣球菌显著差异表达的基因进行功能分析。【结果】Geneontology(Go)富集分析表明,以葡萄糖为碳源的样本为对照,差异表达基因主要富集在碳水化合物利用的过程,如多糖催化过程、碳水化合物催化过程、碳水化合物代谢过程及多糖代谢过程等。碳水化合物活性酶(Carbohydrate-activeenzymes,CAZymes)功能注释表明,碳源种类主要影响了半纤维素和纤维素降解相关糖苷水解酶家族基因的表达,其中涉及半纤维素降解的相关酶基因上调幅度最大。同时,在纤维素+木质素、松木屑为碳源的处理组中一些转录因子基因上调表达显著。【结论】不同碳源显著影响了广叶绣球菌基因表达谱,这种对碳源的适应也可能反映了广叶绣球菌攻击植物细胞壁的机制,研究结果为深入了解广叶绣球菌木质纤维素降解的分子机理和相关功能基因提供了一些参考。     

黄孢原毛平革菌对松木、稻草和芦苇去木质化作用的研究

为确定黄孢原毛平革菌对不同植物材料的去木质化作用,以pH、干物质重、半纤维素、纤维素和木质素为主要技术指标,比较黄孢原毛平革菌对松木、稻草和芦苇降解能力的差异。松木、芦苇在发酵过程中pH呈下降趋势,稻草呈上升趋势。在干物质重、半纤维素、纤维素降解率三个指标上皆为松木〈芦苇〈稻草,在木质素降解率上则为松木〈稻草〈芦苇,且差异显著。表明黄孢原毛平革菌对不同植物材料去木质化能力有较大差异,其中芦苇的木质素降解率为13％,是三种材料中最易于被去木质化的。     

不同碳源诱导下牦牛瘤胃厌氧真菌Orpinomyces sp. YF3的产酶机制

为探究体外发酵牦牛瘤胃源厌氧真菌Orpinomyces sp. YF3在不同碳源诱导下的产酶机制，本研究利用厌氧培养管在10 mL基础培养基中分别添加不同碳源复杂度的葡萄糖(glucose, Glu)、滤纸(filter paper, Flp)、微晶纤维素(avicel, Avi)各8 g/L作为唯一碳源进行体外发酵，检测发酵液中的纤维降解酶活性和挥发性脂肪酸，并利用转录组学探究Orpinomyces sp. YF3的产酶机制。结果表明葡萄糖诱导下的发酵液中羧甲基纤维素酶、微晶纤维素酶、滤纸酶和木聚糖酶的活性，及乙酸的比例显著升高(P＜0.05)，丙酸、丁酸、异丁酸的比例显著降低(P＜0.05)。进一步分析发现与纤维降解酶相关的差异表达基因(differentially expressed genes, DEGs)在Glu组中显著上调。基因本体论(gene ontology, GO)功能富集显示DEGs主要集中在木聚糖酶、纤维素酶、葡萄糖和碳水化合物等的分解代谢过程及相关酶活性，京都基因和基因组百科全书(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, KEGG)通路分析富集到的纤维降解酶相关的差异通路主要是淀粉和蔗糖代谢途径、其他聚糖降解途径。以上结果表明，以葡萄糖为碳源底物的Orpinomyces sp. YF3可增加纤维素降解酶活性，提高乙酸比例，通过调控纤维降解酶基因的表达及相关代谢通路来提高对底物的降解能力，提高能量利用效率。这为Orpinomyces sp. YF3在实际生产中的应用提供了理论基础。

Foreign exploration for Scirtothrips perseae Nakahara (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and associated natural enemies on avocado (Persea americana Miller)

Scirtothrips perseae Nakahara was discovered attacking avocados in California, USA, in 1996. Host plant surveys in California indicated that S. perseae has a highly restricted host range with larvae being found only on avocados, while adults were collected from 11 different plant species. As part of a management program for this pest, a “classical” biological control program was initiated and foreign exploration was conducted to delineate the home range of S. perseae, to survey for associated natural enemies and inventory other species of phytophagous thrips on avocados grown in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad, and Brazil. Foreign exploration efforts indicate that S. perseae occurs on avocados grown at high altitudes (>1500 m) from Uruapan in Mexico south to areas around Guatemala City in Guatemala. In Costa Rica, S. perseae is replaced by an undescribed congener as the dominant phytophagous thrips on avocados grown at high altitudes (>1300 m). No species of Scirtothrips were found on avocados in the Dominican Republic, Trinidad, or Brazil. In total, 2136 phytophagous thrips were collected and identified, representing over 47 identified species from at least 19 genera. The significance of these species records is discussed. Of collected material 4% were potential thrips biological control agents. Natural enemies were dominated by six genera of predatory thrips (Aeolothrips, Aleurodothrips, Franklinothrips, Leptothrips, Scolothrips, and Karnyothrips). One genus each of parasitoid (Ceranisus) and predatory mite (Balaustium) were found. Based on the results of our sampling techniques, prospects for the importation of thrips natural enemies for use in a “classical” biological control program in California against S. perseae are not promising.     

Phylogeny of cardinalfishes (Teleostei: Gobiiformes: Apogonidae) and the evolution of visceral bioluminescence

The cardinalfishes (Apogonidae) are a diverse clade of small, mostly reef-dwelling fishes, for which a variety of morphological data have not yielded a consistent phylogeny. We use DNA sequence to hypothesize phylogenetic relationships within Apogonidae and among apogonids and other acanthomorph families, to examine patterns of evolution including the distribution of a visceral bioluminescence system. In conformance with previous studies, Apogonidae is placed in a clade with Pempheridae, Kurtidae, Leiognathidae, and Gobioidei. The apogonid genus Pseudamia is recovered outside the remainder of the family, not as sister to the superficially similar genus Gymnapogon. Species sampled from the Caribbean and Western Atlantic (Phaeoptyx, Astrapogon, and some Apogon species) form a clade, as do the larger-bodied Glossamia and Cheilodipterus. Incidence of visceral bioluminescence is found scattered throughout the phylogeny, independently for each group in which it is present. Examination of the fine structure of the visceral bioluminescence system through histology shows that light organs exhibit a range of morphologies, with some composed of complex masses of tubules (Siphamia, Pempheris, Parapriacanthus) and others lacking tubules but containing chambers formed by folds of the visceral epithelium (Acropoma, Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia). Light organs in Siphamia, Acropoma, Pempheris and Parapriacanthus are distinct from but connected to the gut; those in Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia are simply portions of the intestinal tract, and are little differentiated from the surrounding tissues. The presence or absence of symbiotic luminescent bacteria does not correlate with light organ structure; the tubular light organs of Siphamia and chambered tubes of Acropoma house bacteria, those in Pempheridae and the other Apogonidae do not.     

Biological control of three floating water weeds,<Emphasis Type="Italic">Eichhornia crassipes,Pistia stratiotes</Emphasis>, and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Salviniamolesta</Emphasis> in the Republic of Congo

Since 1999, four specific weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) were released in the Republic of Congo against three exotic floating water weeds: Neochetina eichhorniae Warner and N. bruchi Hustache against water hyacinth, Neohydronomus affinis Hustache against water lettuce, and Cyrtobagous salviniae Calder and Sands against water fern. Recoveries of exotic weevils were made from all 24 release sites except one, and all four species have established and spread (up to 800 km for water hyacinth weevils). Within a few years of releases, control of water fern and water lettuce was such that fishing and navigation could be resumed, while reductions of water hyacinth populations were only beginning.     

A molecular phylogeny of Hebeloma species from Europe

In order to widen the scope of existing phylogenies of the ectomycorrhizal agaric genus Hebeloma a total of 53 new rDNA ITS sequences from that genus was generated, augmented by sequences retrieved from GenBank, and analysed using Bayesian, strict consensus and neighbour joining methods. The lignicolous Hebelomina neerlandica, Gymnopilus penetrans, and two species of Galerina served as outgroup taxa. Anamika indica, as well as representatives of the genera Hymenogaster and Naucoria, were included to test the monophyly of Hebeloma, which is confirmed by the results. Hebeloma, Naucoria, Hymenogaster and Anamika indica cluster in a strongly supported monophyletic hebelomatoid clade. All trees largely reflect the current infrageneric classification within Hebeloma, and divide the genus into mostly well-supported monophyletic groups surrounding H. crustuliniforme, H. velutipes, H. sacchariolens, H. sinapizans, and H. radicosum, with H. sarcophyllum being shown at an independent position; however this is not well supported. The section Indusiata divides with strong support into three groups, the position of the pleurocystidiate Hebeloma cistophilum suggests the possible existence of a third subsection within sect. Indusiata. Subsection Sacchariolentia is raised to the rank of section.     

Taxonomic status of the species of the green algal genusNeochloris

Komárek has recently reviewed the various species assigned to the green algal genusNeochloris Starr (Chlorococcales, Chlorococcaceae) and removed those with uninucleate vegetative cells to a new genus,Ettlia. Watanabe & Floyd, unaware ofKomárek's work, also reviewed the species ofNeochloris and distributed them among three genera—Neochloris, Chlorococcopsis gen. nov., andParietochloris gen. nov.—on the basis of details of the covering of the zoospore and the arrangement of the basal bodies of the flagellar apparatus. This paper reconciles these two treatments and makes additional recommendations at the ranks of genus, family, order, and class.     

Die GattungKarschia — Bindeglied zwischen bitunicaten Ascomyceten und lecanoralen Flechtenpilzen?

The genusKarschia, in the earlier sense, including saprophytes and parasites on lichens, has been thought to be a non-lichenized parallel genus of the lichen genusBuellia. Modern workers included it on the one hand inBuellia, on the other hand combined it with bitunicate ascomycetes. It is now proved thatKarschia is heterogeneous and contains but superficially similar members both of the genusBuellia of theLecanorales and of typical or masked bitunicateAscomycetes. Therefore, it can not be regarded as a link betweenLecanorales andDothideales. The type species ofKarschia belongs to theDothideales.

     

Demographic characteristics of an intertidal bay goby (Lepidogobius lepidus)

Synopsis In a fourteen month study (May 1976 – June 1977) I examined the following characteristics of an intertidal bay goby (Lepidogobius lepidus) in Morro Bay, California, U.S.A.: annual and seasonal patterns of abundance, age composition and growth rates, survivorship and mortality patterns, and the reproductive cycle for female gobies. Fishes were collected with the aid of quinaldine and otoliths and ovaries removed. Age and growth rates were estimated from otolith annuli using a back calculation formula and a Brody-Bertalanffy growth curve. Mortality rates were derived using the methods of Heincke (1913), Robson & Chapman (1960), mean age, and a catch curve (Ricker 1975). A gonad index was used to describe the annual reproductive cycle. Results indicated that abundance fluctuated seasonally and that these fluctuations appeared to be caused by reproductive emigrations. Bay gobies reached an age of 7+ and a standard length of 87 mm. Growth was relatively constant (6 mm yr⁻¹) until age 5, at which point it began to decline. The mean rates of survivorship, mortality, and instantaneous mortality were 0.75, 0.25, and 0.29 respectively. Mortality rates for individual age classes ranged from 0.13 to 0.51 and increased with age. This stock appears to reproduce mainly during the winter.     

Systematic significance of mature embryo of bamboos

The mature embryo of seven species belonging to five genera of Indian bamboos is described. In all these the basic pattern of embryo organisation is same: the scutellar and coleoptilar bundles are not separated by an internode, the epiblast is absent, the lower portion of the scutellum and the coleorhiza are separated by a cleft and the margins of embryonic leaves overlap. The features unique to fleshy fruited bamboos are: presence of a massive scutellum, the juxtaposition of plumule and radicle and the occurrence of a bud in the axil of the coleoptile. The fleshy fruit bearing bamboos should be classified into one group, the tribeMelocanneae. Evidence is provided to recognise additional groups in the subfamilyBambusoideae.
