The effect of soil phosphorus on the external mycelium growth of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi during the early stages of mycorrhiza formation

The effects of soil P amendments and time of application on the formation of external mycelium by different arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were studied. In the first experiment the external mycelium produced in the soil by the AM fungus Glomus etunicatum Beck. and Gerd., during the early stages of root colonization (7 and 14 days after inoculation), was quantified by the soil-agar film technique. A Brazilian Oxisol was used with three different phosphate levels, varying from deficient to supra-optimal for the plant. Significant differences were observed in the phosphate and inoculation treatments for plant dry weight, P content in the tissue, root length and root colonization, at fourteen days after planting. At 7 days, mycelium growth, root colonization and their relationship were reduced at supra-optimal P concentrations. Applications of P one week after planting reduced mycelium growth and root colonization more than when applied to the soil before planting. In a second experiment the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Scutellospora heterogama (Nicol. and Gerd.) Walker and Sanders and E3 were tested and compared with Glomus etunicatum. For the species studied, the length of external hyphae per unit of colonized root length was affected by small P additions but no further significant differences were observed at high P levels. The three AM endophytes showed marked differences in their response to P in the soil: Scutellospora heterogama, although producing external mycelium more profusely than the Glomus spp., showed a higher sensitivity to soil P supply.     

A gastrointestinal nematode in pregnant and lactating mice alters maternal and neonatal microbiomes

The maternal microbiome is understood to be the principal source of the neonatal microbiome but the consequences of intestinal nematodes on pregnant and lactating mothers and implications for the neonatal microbiome are unknown. Using pregnant CD1 mice infected with Heligmosomoides bakeri, we investigated the microbiomes in maternal tissues (intestine, vagina, and milk) and in the neonatal stomach using MiSeq sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. Our first hypothesis was that maternal nematode infection altered the maternal intestinal, vaginal, and milk microbiomes and associated metabolic pathways. Maternal nematode infection was associated with increased beta-diversity and abundance of fermenting bacteria as well as Lactobacillus in the maternal caecum 2 days after parturition, together with down-regulated carbohydrate, amino acid and vitamin biosynthesis pathways. Maternal nematode infection did not alter the vaginal or milk microbiomes. Our second hypothesis was that maternal infection would shape colonization of the neonatal microbiome. Although the pup stomach microbiome was similar to that of the maternal vaginal microbiome, pups of infected dams had higher beta-diversity at day 2, and a dramatic expansion in the abundance of Lactobacillus between days 2 and 7 compared with pups nursing uninfected dams. Our third hypothesis that maternal nematode infection altered the composition of neonatal microbiomes was confirmed as we observed up-regulation of several putatively beneficial microbial pathways associated with synthesis of essential and branched-chain amino acids, vitamins, and short-chain fatty acids. We believe this is the first study to show that a nematode living in the maternal intestine is associated with altered composition and function of the neonatal microbiome.     

Transient oral microflora in Greeks attending day centres for the elderly and residents in homes for the elderly

Objective: To examine the isolation frequency and the carriage of yeasts, Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus and Enterococcus species in oral samples from elderly Greeks living alone or in institutions. Background: Ageing may promote changes in the oral ecosystem, which lead to colonisation of the mouth by microbes found less commonly or only transiently in younger subjects. Previous studies indicate a geographical variation in the isolation frequency of such bacteria in elderly populations. Materials and methods: Medical and dental records were obtained from 66 attenders at elderly people's day centres (EPDC), and 82 residents of elderly people's homes (EPH), 66–95 years old. Mucosa smear samples were cultured on appropriate media for enumeration of the above species. Microbial identification was performed by conventional microbiological tests. The results were analysed using the Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), anova and other traditional statistical tests. Results: No statistically significant association was found between the place of residence and the wearing of dentures. The isolation frequencies of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus and Enterobacteriaceae species were 21.6, 20.3 and 7.4% respectively. MCA, and further statistical analysis, revealed that the place of residence affected the isolation frequency of years (54.9% in EPH vs. 37.9% in EPDC). Moreover, anova showed that living in EPH increased the carriage of yeasts. Conclusions: Elderly Greeks exhibit a moderate to high oral carriage of transient bacteria compared with other elderly populations. Living in EPH seems to increase both the isolation frequency and carriage of yeasts.     

基于UPLC法测定离体大鼠及人源肠道菌对三七中人参皂苷代谢的差异

为探究人与大鼠肠道菌群对三七水煎液中三醇型人参皂苷Rg1、Re及二醇型人参皂苷Rb1、Rd体外代谢的差异性及发现其代谢产物原人参二醇PPD与原人参三醇PPT,实验利用UPLC方法测定三七水煎液分别与人、大鼠肠道菌群在厌氧条件下共培养24h后的孵育液中4种皂苷的含量及代谢产物PPD与PPT的含量。结果表明三七中含有三醇型人参皂苷Rg19.4500mg/g、Re1.8872mg/g,二醇型人参皂苷Rb18.5816mg/g、Rd1.9456mg/g。与人源肠道菌共培养后,三七中含有的二醇型、三醇型人参皂苷含量显著降低,重要的是,在培养液中检测到代谢产物PPD和PPT的存在,含量分别为0.2136mg/g及0.0344mg/g,与大鼠肠道菌共培养后,三七中含有的二醇型皂苷含量有轻微降低,而三醇型皂苷含量未见明显变化,但有少量PPT(0.0184mg/g)的生成。由此可见:在体外条件下,三七水煎液中人参皂苷会被人肠道菌群降解生成代谢产物PPD和PPT,而大鼠肠道菌群的降解产物却仅有PPT生成,二者存在种属差异。     

The effect of maternal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals on fetal and neonatal development: A review on the major concerns

There is a widespread exposure of general population, including pregnant women and developing fetuses, to the endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These chemicals have been reported to be present in urine, blood serum, breast milk, and amniotic fluid. Endocrine disruptions induced by environmental toxicants have placed a heavy burden on society, since environmental exposures during critical periods of development can permanently reprogram normal physiological responses, thereby increasing susceptibility to disease later in life—a process known as developmental reprogramming. During development, organogenesis and tissue differentiation occur through a continuous series of tightly‐regulated and precisely‐timed molecular, biochemical, and cellular events. Humans may encounter EDCs daily and during all stages of life, from conception and fetal development through adulthood and senescence. Nevertheless, prenatal and early postnatal windows are the most critical for proper development, due to rapid changes in system growth. Although there are still gaps in our knowledge, currently available data support the urgent need for health and environmental policies aimed at protecting the public and, in particular, the developing fetus and women of reproductive age.

The effect of different oral antibiotics on the gastrointestinal microflora of a wild rodent (Aethomys namaquensis)

Gut sterilization via the oral administration of antibiotics facilitates physiological studies of the nutritionally important relationship between intestinal microflora and the host. However, the composition of gut flora is extremely variable, and as a result, the efficacy of antibiotics in achieving gut sterilization varies considerably between species. We tested the effectiveness of three antibiotic cocktails in sterilizing the gut of a rodent pollinator, the Namaqua rock mouse (Aethomys namaquensis). The cocktails were (1) streptomycin sulfate and bacitracin (previously used with domestic mice and rats), (2) chloramphenicol and bacitracin (based on antibiotic screening tests performed on faecal flora) and (3) Baytril 10% oral solution (a veterinary antimicrobial agent containing enrofloxacin). We tested for antibiotic inactivation by determining bacterial viability through fluorescence staining of faecal samples. We also tested techniques to maintain sterility during antibiotic treatment without the benefit of a laminar flow cabinet. Antibiotics were administered orally in food and water consumed ad libitum over 4 consecutive days. Antibiotic effectiveness was assessed by culturing anaerobic bacteria from faecal samples collected before and after each antibiotic treatment. Treatment with Baytril 10% oral solution eliminated or significantly reduced faecal flora, whereas other antibiotics did not. This study clearly demonstrates the importance of testing the effectiveness of antibiotics before their use in studies that involve antibiotic-treated subjects, particularly if these are species previously untested.     

Influence of maternal adrenalectomy on the ultrastructure of the adrenal gland in neonatal rats

Maternal adrenalectomy at 7 or 14 days of gestation produced increased cell necrosis within zona reticularis cells on the day of birth and at 24 or 48 h after birth. Small remnants or large portions of adrenocortical cells were present within macrophages. In otherwise normal adrenocortical cells, lipid droplets were incorporated within some mitochondria. Autophagocytosis of single mitochondria was observed within adrenocortical cells. Undoubtedly ultrastructural changes represent stimulation of adrenocortical cells in neonatal rats in response to maternal adrenalectomy.
