大肠杆菌共表达LeGGPS2、LePSY1和crtI基因合成番茄红素

利用大肠杆菌研究番茄红素的合成,不仅可以获得副产物少的高产菌株,而且可以探讨基因或基因簇的功能。文中将番茄LeGGPS2和LePSY1的cDNA序列,及欧文氏菌crtI的编码序列分别添加上核糖体结合位点后,以单独或组合的方式受控于T7启动子和终止子,在大肠杆菌菌株BL21(DE3)中进行表达和诱导番茄红素合成。结果显示,仅T7::crtI-LeGGPS2-LePSY1三价基因共表达时才能合成番茄红素,且将种子液以1∶50接种于含3%蔗糖的LB培养基(pH 6.8)中,于37℃摇8 h左右的对数生长后期加IPTG至80μmol/L,30℃诱导表达5 h的发酵条件下,获得2.124 mg/g DCW的番茄红素。该结果既验证了原核化的番茄LeGGPS2和LePSY1基因及与crtI基因协同作用的功能,又为在番茄质体中建立独立的番茄红素合成途径奠定了基础。

通气量对灵芝菌丝体液态深层发酵合成灵芝三萜的影响

采用5 L搅拌式发酵罐研究灵芝菌丝体液态深层发酵合成灵芝三萜的扩大培养条件,考察了不同条件下的通气量对灵芝菌丝体生长、比生长速率、灵芝三萜合成、比合成速率、还原糖消耗、还原糖比消耗速率、铵根离子消耗以及铵根离子比消耗速率的影响。研究结果表明,通气量能够显著影响菌丝体的生长以及灵芝三萜的合成,当通气量为8 L/min时,菌丝体合成灵芝三萜得率和生产强度最高,分别为0.204 g/L和0.00131 g/(L·h),最大菌丝体得率达到8.77 g/L。发酵过程中菌丝体最大比生长速率为0.0704 1/h,灵芝三萜最大比合成速率为0.0256 1/h,还原糖和铵根离子最大比消耗速率分别为0.562 1/h和0.0171 1/h。     

环境条件对丙酮酸分批发酵的影响

考察了搅拌转速、pH和温度对丙酮酸分批发酵的影响。高转速（500r／min）下,丙酮酸产率较高（71％）,但葡萄糖消耗速度较慢（1．23g／（L·h））;低转速（300r／min）下,细胞消耗葡萄糖的速度加快（1．95g/（L·h））,而丙酮酸产率（0．48％）却明显下降。将搅拌转速恒定在400r／min可在一定程度上获得较高的丙酮酸产率（0．62％）和葡萄糖消耗速度（1．66g／（L·h））。CaCO3调节pH时,较多碳流从丙酮酸节点转向α-酮戊二酸节点和细胞生长,最终丙酮酸产量比NaOH调节pH时的发酵结果低38．7％;NH3·H2O调节pH时最终细胞浓度和丙酮酸产量仅为NaOH调节时的77．8％和90．9％。pH5．5时最利于丙酮酸的合成。较高的发酵温度加速T.glabrata积累丙酮酸,但同时会导致α-酮戊二酸的提前积累;而较低的温度下甘油和α-酮戊二酸积累较少,丙酮酸发酵的最适温度为28～30℃。

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.
