云南禄丰古猿地点Ursinae indet.化石性质的再讨论

1984年和1985年本文后一作者曾将禄丰古猿化石地点的一种小型而冠面无强烈褶皱的熊类化石归人Ursinae indet.现经重新研究,认为它应属Ursavus。鉴于它和Utsavus已知其他种的区别,订一新种U.sylvestris。它与欧洲的U.ehrenbetgi大体处在同一进化水平上。在原认为是Ursinae indet.的材料中,有两枚M_1,其特点与U.sylvestris者不同,暂以Ursavus sp.记之。

双碳源流加对重组毕赤酵母高效表达葡萄糖氧化酶的影响

葡萄糖氧化酶(GOD)是一种具有广泛应用前景的工业酶.为了实现葡萄糖氧化酶的高效生产,提高重组毕赤酵母生产GOD的产量和增强生产强度,对重组毕赤酵母诱导阶段的初始菌体浓度和甲醇浓度进行了优化.在此基础上,诱导期采用了双碳源(甘油、山梨醇和甘露醇)与甲醇混合流加的模式.研究发现,最佳诱导前初始菌体浓度和甲醇浓度分别为100 g/L和18 g/L,此时GOD产量为427.6 U/mL.在诱导阶段采用甘油、山梨醇和甘露醇与甲醇的混合添加均可以提高GOD产量,其中甘露醇与甲醇的混合流加效果最为显著.当甲醇与甘露醇混合流加的比例为20∶1(W/W)时,诱导156h GOD产量和生产强度分别可达711.3 U/mL和4.60 U/(mL·h),比甲醇单一流加策略结果分别提高了66.3％和67.9％.此外采用合适的甘露醇混合流加策略不但不会抑制AOX1启动子的表达,甚至有一定促进作用,AOX酶活性为8.8 U/g(对照为5.2 U/g).双碳源流加方式还能推广到毕赤酵母其他表型中,为该系统高效表达外源蛋白提供一种新策略.

Studies on the Lipoprotein Lipases of Microorganisms

About 2000 strains of microorganisms were examined for lipoprotein lipase producibilities and some microorganisms were found to produce lipases similar to animal lipoprotein lipases.

Microorganisms were cultured on solid media containing a serum-activated olive oil emulsion, and strains which formed a clear zone around the colony were collected. The collected microorganisms were cultured on liquid media containing 0.5% of olive oil by shaking and the culture filtrates were tested for lipoprotein lipase activity by a turbidity method. The superior lipoprotein lipase producers obtained belonged to genera of Serratia, Pseudomonas, Mucor, and Streptomyces.

The search for strains producing new restriction endonucleases

The search for restrictases in 154 strains belonging to 104 species of 32 genera of microorganisms has been carried out by the method of rapid toluene assay. In 10 strains the activity of endonucleases specifically fragmenting the DNA of phage lambda in the presence of Mg2+ ions has been detected. Restrictases Pae I and Pae II formed by two Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains have been identified as the true isoschizomers of restriction endonucleases Sph I and Sma I respectively. The results of the screening of restrictase-producing strains indicate that the production of restrictases is widely spread among microorganisms of the genus Bacillus.     

黄酒贮存酸败关键微生物的分离鉴定

【背景】贮存陈酿是黄酒生产的重要工艺环节,但由于黄酒中营养物质含量丰富,贮存陈酿过程中时常出现酸败变质的现象,尤其是在大罐的陈酿过程中酸败的发生对黄酒行业造成较大的经济损失。【目的】解析黄酒贮存陈酿过程中造成黄酒酸败的关键微生物,为黄酒贮存酸败微生物的控制提供依据。【方法】采用高通量测序技术分析不同来源酸败黄酒中的主要微生物种类;设计针对性培养基分离培养酸败黄酒中的难培养微生物;设计微生物特异性引物,对16S r RNA基因高度相似的酸败微生物进行区分鉴定;将分离的黄酒酸败微生物接入到未发生酸败的黄酒中验证其生酸能力。【结果】高通量测序技术分析结果显示,酸败黄酒中污染微生物主要为乳酸杆菌属(丰度95%)微生物,在种水平上分析比对结果显示两种难培养微生物[耐酸乳杆菌(Lactobacillus acetotolerans)和食果糖乳杆菌(Lactobacillus fructivorans)]的相对丰度达到了82%以上;采用改进的分离培养基分离出酸败黄酒中的难培养污染微生物36株;利用耐酸乳杆菌rec A基因和食果糖乳杆菌tuf基因的特异性引物准确鉴定出这些微生物菌株为28株耐酸乳杆菌和8株食果糖乳杆菌;将两种主要酸败微生物接入到未发生酸败的黄酒中,培养2周后能够显著提高黄酒酸度。【结论】基于高通量测序的未培养技术可作为食品中难培养污染微生物快速分析的有效方法。基于未培养技术和可培养技术相结合,首次解析并验证黄酒贮存过程中造成黄酒酸败的主要微生物为耐酸乳杆菌和食果糖乳杆菌。

BACTERIAL INFLUENCE UPON GROWTH AND HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION OF THE GREEN ALGA BOTRYOCOCCUS BRAUNII1

Batch cultures of the hydrocarbon-rich alga Botryococcus braunii, Kütz. (axenic strains, non-axenic strains, associations with selected microorganisms) were examined with regard to total biomass and hydrocarbons at the onset of the stationary phase. Pronounced variations, related to the origin of the strains and to growth conditions, were observed with axenic cultures. It also appeared that the presence of microorganisms is not essential for high hydrocarbon production. Nevertheless, numerous bacteria were shown to exert considerable influence, antagonistic or beneficial, on B. braunii growth yield and hydrocarbon production. Such effects were strongly dependent on the species involved and on culture conditions. The presence of various microorganisms can influence not only the quantity of hydrocarbons produced, but also their level in the algal biomass and their relative abundance. However, their chemical structure is not affected. Intricate relationships were observed in B. braunii-bacteria systems and numerous factors (including, in some cultures, large positive effects due to bacterially produced CO₂) were implicated. Accordingly, specific associations should provide appropriate conditions for renewable hydrocarbon production via B. braunii large scale cultures.     

Bacillus cereus pore-forming toxins hemolysin II and cytotoxin K: polymorphism and distribution of genes among representatives of the cereus group

Abstract-Phylogenetic interrelation between 40 strains of the Bacillus cereus group has been established using BcREP fingerprinting. The PCR method has shown that the frequency of occurrence of the genes of cytotoxin K (cytK) and hemolysin II (hlyII) is 61% and 56%, respectively, and the gene of the hemolysin II regulator (hlyIIR) occurs together with hlyII. Comparison of the results of fingerprinting, PCR, and RFLP of the toxin genes showed that bacteria with the hlyII+ and cytK+ genotypes did not form separate clusters. However, microorganisms with the similar fingerprints were shown to have toxin genes of the same type. The proposed variant of RFLP analysis made it possible to clearly distinguish between the cytK1 and cytK2 genes. Twenty-three strains having the cytK genes carried no cytK1 dangerous for mammals. Additionally, the entire collection of microorganisms was tested for the ability to grow at 4 degrees C. This property was revealed for five strains, which should most likely be classified as B. weihenstephanensis. Two of the five psychrotolerant microorganisms carried the hemolysin II gene variant of the same type according to RFLP. None of the five strains had the cytK gene. These strains did not form close groups upon clustering by the applied method of Bc-REP fingerprints.     

A Side by Side Comparison of Bruker Biotyper and VITEK MS: Utility of MALDI-TOF MS Technology for Microorganism Identification in a Public Health Reference Laboratory

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has emerged as a rapid, highly accurate, and cost-effective method for routine identification of a wide range of microorganisms. We carried out a side by side comparative evaluation of the performance of Bruker Biotyper versus VITEK MS for identification of a large and diverse collection of microorganisms. Most difficult and/or unusual microorganisms, as well as commonly encountered microorganisms were selected, including Gram-positive and negative bacteria, mycobacteria, actinomycetes, yeasts and filamentous fungi. Six hundred forty two strains representing 159 genera and 441 species from clinical specimens previously identified at the Laboratoire de santé publique du Québec (LSPQ) by reference methods were retrospectively chosen for the study. They included 254 Gram-positive bacteria, 167 Gram-negative bacteria, 109 mycobacteria and aerobic actinomycetes and 112 yeasts and moulds. MALDI-TOF MS analyses were performed on both systems according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Of the 642 strains tested, the name of the genus and / or species of 572 strains were referenced in the Bruker database while 406 were present in the VITEK MS IVD database. The Biotyper correctly identified 494 (86.4%) of the strains, while the VITEK MS correctly identified 362 (92.3%) of the strains (excluding 14 mycobacteria that were not tested). Of the 70 strains not present in the Bruker database at the species level, the Biotyper correctly identified 10 (14.3%) to the genus level and 2 (2.9%) to the complex/group level. For 52 (74.2%) strains, we obtained no identification, and an incorrect identification was given for 6 (8.6%) strains. Of the 178 strains not present in the VITEK MS IVD database at the species level (excluding 71 untested mycobacteria and actinomycetes), the VITEK MS correctly identified 12 (6.8%) of the strains each to the genus and to the complex/group level. For 97 (54.5%) strains, no identification was given and for 69 (38.7%) strains, an incorrect identification was obtained. Our study demonstrates that both systems gave a high level (above 85%) of correct identification for a wide range of microorganisms. However, VITEK MS gave more misidentification when the microorganism analysed was not present in the database, compared to Bruker Biotyper. This should be taken into account when this technology is used alone for microorganism identification in a public health laboratory, where isolates received are often difficult to identify and/or unusual microorganisms.
