柱式反应器处理黄铜矿过程中等嗜热微生物群落变化

从中国的多个铜矿取样,在45°C条件下富集获得了一种高效的中等嗜热浸矿富集物,探讨了该富集物在柱式反应器中浸出低品位黄铜矿的pH变化以及与Cu2+浸出的关系,并采用限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)技术分析了微生物的群落结构和种群动态变化规律。结果表明在整个浸出过程中pH变化较为明显,且一直在1.8以上,60 d内回收了13.6%的铜。RFLP结果表明:在初期,嗜铁钩端螺旋菌(Leptospirillum ferriphilum)在浸出前期占有很高比例(81%),随后逐渐降低,至后期只有13%,而耐温氧化硫化杆菌(Sulfobacillus thermotolerans)和喜温硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus caldus)的比例逐渐升高,在中期分别达到32%和23%;至末期,耐温氧化硫化杆菌达到了79%,成为优势种群。研究加深了对中等嗜热微生物浸矿特性的了解,也为中等嗜热菌处理低品位黄铜矿的工业应用提供了可供借鉴的数据。

Cloning of heat shock protein genes (hsp70, hsc70 and hsp90) and their expression in response to larval diapause and thermal stress in the wheat blossom midge,Sitodiplosis mosellana

Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin, one of the most important pests of wheat, undergoes obligatory diapause as a larva to survive unfavorable temperature extremes during hot summers and cold winters. To explore the potential roles of heat shock proteins (hsp) in this process, we cloned full-length cDNAs of hsp70, hsc70 and hsp90 from S. mosellana larvae, and examined their expression in response to diapause and short-term temperature stresses. Three hsps included all signature sequences of corresponding protein family and EEVD motifs. They showed high homology to their counterparts in other species, and the phylogenetic analysis of hsp90 was consistent with the known classification of insects. Expression of hsp70 and hsp90 were highly induced by diapause, particularly pronounced during summer and winter. Interestingly, hsp70 was more strongly expressed in summer than in winter whereas hsp90 displayed the opposite pattern. Abundance of hsc70 mRNA was comparable prior to and during diapauses and was highly up-regulated when insects began to enter the stage of post-diapause quiescence. Heat-stressed over-summering larvae (⩾30 °C) or cold-stressed over-wintering larvae (⩽0 °C) could further elevate expression of these three genes, but temperature extremes i.e. as high as 45 °C or as low as −15 °C failed to trigger such expression patterns. Notably, hsp70 was most sensitive to heat stress and hsp90 was most sensitive to cold stress. These results suggested that hsp70 and hsp90 play key roles in diapause maintenance and thermal stress; the former may be more prominent contributor to heat tolerance and the latter for cold tolerance. In contrast, hsc70 most likely is involved in developmental transition from diapause to post-diapause quiescence, and thus may serve as a molecular marker to predict diapause termination.

Effect of a high protein diet on glucose tolerance in the rat model

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a high protein diet on glucose tolerance. Nine Sprague Dawley rats received a high protein (HP) diet (65% protein, 35% fat) and eight rats consumed a standard chow (SC) diet over eight weeks. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed at the end of the third and the seventh week. The diet did not effect glucose tolerance in the first (SC=10357+/-294 mg/dl/120 min; HP=9846+/-300 mg/dl/120 min) or the second OGTT (SC=10134+/-395 mg/dl/120 min; HP=10721+/-438 mg/dl/120 min) as reflected by the area under the glucose concentration curve. Similarly, the area under the insulin concentration curve was not effected by the high protein diet during the first (SC=49.21+/-8.46 ng/ml/120 min; HP=41.75+/-10.54 ng/ml/120 min) or the second OGTT (SC=96.63+/-13.68 ng/ml/120 min; HP=92.77+/-17.44 ng/ml/120 min). The high protein diet group experienced a delayed glucose response for the first (SC=30 min at 112+/-7 mg/dl; HP=60 min at 101+/-5 mg/dl) and second OGTT (SC=15 min at 117+/-5 mg/dl; HP=60 min at 95+/-7 mg/dl). Body mass increased to the same extent in each diet group from the initial to final weighing (SC=159+/-2 g to 254+/-7 g; HP=157+/-2 g to 242+/-7 g). Despite a delay in peak glucose response, these findings suggest that glucose tolerance and body mass were neither adversely nor positively affected by a high protein diet.     

Synthetic reconstruction of extreme high hydrostatic pressure resistance in Escherichia coli

Although high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is an interesting parameter to be applied in bioprocessing, its potential is currently limited by the lack of bacterial chassis capable of surviving and maintaining homeostasis under pressure. While several efforts have been made to genetically engineer microorganisms able to grow at sublethal pressures, there is little information for designing backgrounds that survive more extreme pressures. In this investigation, we analyzed the genome of an extreme HHP-resistant mutant of E. coli MG1655 (designated as DVL1), from which we identified four mutations (in the cra, cyaA, aceA and rpoD loci) causally linked to increased HHP resistance. Analysing the functional effect of these mutations we found that the coupled effect of downregulation of cAMP/CRP, Cra and the glyoxylate shunt activity, together with the upregulation of RpoH and RpoS activity, could mechanistically explain the increased HHP resistance of the mutant. Using combinations of three mutations, we could synthetically engineer E. coli strains able to comfortably survive pressures of 600–800 MPa, which could serve as genetic backgrounds for HHP-based biotechnological applications.

High temperature effects on RuBP carboxylase and carbonic anhydrase activity in two tomato cultivars

The effects of temperature on ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase activity were studied in two tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivars which differed in sensitivity to high temperatures. The heat tolerant cultivar, Saladette, had a smaller reduction in photosynthesis and a smaller increase in mesophyll resistance then the sensitive cultivar Roma VF, after 24 h at 35 to 40°C. One hour in vitro treatments at 50°C decreased the activity of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase extracted from Roma VF by 75%, while Saladette was not affected. Heat stress to the entire plant caused greater inhibition of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase in the heat sensitive cultivar. Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase activity in both cultivars decreased with heat treatment but recovered under normal temperatures. Ribulose bisphosphate oxygenase activity decreased similarly in both cultivars under 37/18°C day/night temperatures, which resulted in an apparent change in the relative carboxylase/oxygenase activity of the two cultivars. Carbonic anhydrase activity was slightly greater in Saladette than in Roma VF but no significant decrease in activity was observed in plants exposed to high temperatures.     

Rapid responses to high temperature and desiccation but not to low temperature in the freeze tolerant sub-Antarctic caterpillar Pringleophaga marioni (Lepidoptera,Tineidae)

A broad definition of rapid cold hardening (RCH) is that it is the process whereby insects increase their survival of a sub-zero temperature after a brief (h) pre-exposure to a less severe low temperature. The effects of various pre-treatments on survival of two h at -7.9 degrees C were investigated in the freeze tolerant sub-Antarctic caterpillar Pringleophaga marioni (Lepidoptera: Tineidae), the first time RCH has been investigated in a freeze tolerant arthropod. All caterpillars froze when exposed to -7.9 degrees C, and none of the low temperature pre-treatments (-5, 0, 5 and 15 degrees C, as well as -5 degrees C and 0 degrees C with a delay before freezing) nor slow cooling (0.1 degrees C/min) elicited any improvement in survival of -7.9 degrees C as compared to controls. However, high temperature treatments (25, 30 and 35 degrees C), desiccation and acclimation for 5 days at 0 degrees C did result in significant increases in survival of the test temperature, possibly as a result of heat shock protein production. Haemolymph osmolality was elevated only by the 35 degrees C pre-treatment. It is suggested that the unpredictable environment of Marion Island means that P. marioni must always be physiologically prepared to survive cold snaps, and that this year-round cold hardiness therefore supersedes a rapid cold hardening response.
