Since the collapse of populations of northern quahogs (hard clam), Mercenaria mercenaria, in Long Island bays, brown tide blooms have been proposed to pose a barrier to recovery. We tested whether the brown tide alga, Aureococcus anophagefferens, affects survivorship, development or growth in the larvae of M. mercenaria. There was no effect of A. anophagefferens (clone CCMP1708) on survivorship of hard clam larvae, even at bloom concentrations. Under most experimental conditions, larvae fed a mixed diet of Isochrysis galbana (T-Iso) and A. anophagefferens or a single species diet of A. anophagefferens, developed faster than those fed a single species diet of Isochrysis. A mixed diet of I. galbana and A. anophagefferens either had no effect on larval growth, or produced enhanced growth at moderate cell densities (8 × 104 cells ml−1 of A. anophagefferens). Similarly, moderate cell densities of a single food diet of A. anophagefferens (1.6 × 105 cells ml−1) generally had no effect on the growth of larvae. When fed bloom concentrations (106 cells ml−1) of A. anophagefferens, larvae developed faster, but growth was reduced, compared to those fed an equal biovolume of Isochrysis. Larvae fed slow growing or near stationary phase cultures of A. anophagefferens experienced reduced growth and slowed development. These data suggest a qualitative difference between slow or stationary phase and fast growing cultures of the brown tide alga. They also suggest that impacts of A. anophagefferens, when present, are likely to be due to the nutritional quality of this alga as a food source for hard clam larvae, which could have a lasting legacy through ontogeny. Additional studies are needed to test whether our findings apply to more recently isolated strains of A. anophagefferens. 相似文献

PF4 has previously been shown to have potent inhibitory effects on myoactivity of somatic muscle strips from the nematode, Ascaris suum. This study examined the bioactivity and metabolic stability of position 2- and position 5-modified analogues of PF4. Although the analogues [Leu5]PF4, [Ala2]PF4, [Gly2]PF4, [Ala2,Leu5]PF4, and [Gly2,Leu5]PF4 all had qualitatively similar inhibitory effects on A. suum somatic muscle strips, their effects were quantitatively distinguishable and had the order of potency: PF4 = [Leu5]PF4 [Al2]PF4 = [Ala2,Leu5]PF4 [Gly2]PF4 = [Gly2,Leu5]PF4. Leu5 for Ile5 substitutions in PF4 did not alter the activity of this peptide; however, Gly2/Ala2 for Pro2 substitutions reduced, bud did not abolish, peptide activity. Peptide stability studies revealed that [Gly2]PF4(2–7) and -(3–7) and [Ala2]PF4(2–7), -(3–7), and -(4–7) fragments were generated following exposure to A. suum somatic muscle strips. However, the parent peptide (PF4) was not metabolized and appeared to be resistant to the sequential cleavages of native aminopeptidases. Observed analogue metabolism appeared to be due to the activity of released aminopeptidases as identical fragments were generated by incubation in medium that had been exposed to somatic muscle strips and from which the strips had been removed prior to peptide addition. It was found that the muscle stretching and bath mixing characteristics of the tension assay led to more effective release of soluble enzymes from muscle strips and thus greater peptide degradation. These studies reveal that Pro2 in PF4 is not essential for the biological activity of this peptide; however, it does render the peptide resistant to the actions of native nematode aminopeptidases. 相似文献

Three monoclonal antibodies specific to - and β-tubulin were used to examine the expression of tubulin isofoms in the intestine, reproductive tract and body wall muscle of A. suum. The tubulins were found to be different in their isoelectric points, number of isoforms and peptide maps with Western blot analysis of one-dimensional polyacrylamide gel confirming the presence of -, β1- and β2- tubulin. Commercial cross-reactive anti- and anti-β MAbs 356 and 357 recognized tubulin from A. suum tissues as well as from pig brain, whereas anti-A. suum β-tubulin specific MAb P3D6 recognized tubulin from the A. suum tissues only. Two-dimensional gel analysis showed different isoform patterns in different A. suum tissues with anti-A. suum β-tubulin MAb P3D6 and cross-reactive β-tubulin MAb 357 recognizing 2–4 β- tubulin isoforms and anti--tubulin MAb 356 recognizing 1–6 -tubulin isoforms. Different peptide maps of tubulin were observed in the three tissues, when subjected to limited proteolysis followed by SDS-PAGE. The data indicate that different tubulins are found in different tissues of adult A. suum. 相似文献

FMRFamide-related peptides are widespread among the Nematoda. Among them is a family of extended PNFLRFamide peptides encoded on the flp-1 peptide precursor gene in Caenorhabditis elegans. The most studied peptide from this series is SDPNFLRFamide (PF1). Each residue in this peptide was sequentially substituted with either alanine or the corresponding d-isomer of the native amino acid in order to define structure–function relationships in this peptide using an Ascaris suum muscle tension assay. In general, substitutions in the N-terminal tetrapeptide had only minor consequences for efficacy, while substitutions in the C-terminal tetrapeptide caused more dramatic changes. Such substitutions typically markedly diminished efficacy, but d-isomer substitution at either position 5 (Phe) or 6 (Leu) converted the inhibitory activity of the prototype into excitation. In addition, it has been evident that KPNFLRFamide and SDPNFLRFamide, though encoded on flp-1 and sharing a PNFLRFamide hexapeptide, act through different receptors. KPNFLRFamide directly gates a chloride channel in A. suum muscle cells, while SDPNFLRFamide acts through nitric oxide synthase to open K+ channels in the same tissue. The use of K+ channel blockers and nitric oxide synthase inhibitors in electrophysiological experiments employing A. suum muscle membranes allowed the unambiguous conclusion that the N-terminal lysine is absolutely required for activation of the chloride channel and excludes interaction with the SDPNFLRFamide receptor. 相似文献

The nematode-trapping fungus Duddingtonia flagrans may be used as a biological control agent of gastro-intestinal nematode larvae of ruminants by feeding the hosts with fungal spores. This trial was intended to search an eventual detrimental impact of the presence of spores of D. flagrans in high numbers in goat feces on the common dung beetle, Aphodius constans (Coleoptera: Aphodiidae). A. constans eggs were settled in feces derived from grazing goats fed spores at daily dose rates of 0, 0.25 × 106, 0.5 × 106 or 106 spores/kg BW. At the end of the incubation period, the number of adults that have emerged from eggs were counted and compared between dose rates. No difference in emergence rate between treatments can be seen. The presence of D. flagrans spores in goat feces, even in large numbers, did not alter the development of A. constans. 相似文献

In shake flask and fermentor studies, various media components and culture inocula were tested to improve P. fumosoroseus spore production rates, yield and stability. To evaluate inoculum potential and inoculum scale-up for fermentor studies, conidia and liquid culture-produced spores of various strains of P. fumosoroseus were compared as inoculum. Inoculation of liquid cultures with blastospores at concentrations of at least 1×106 spores mL-1 resulted in the rapid production of high concentrations of blastospores (∼1×109 spores mL-1, 48 h fermentation time) for all strains tested. The rapid germination rate of blastospores (90% after 6 h incubation) compared to conidia (>90% after 16 h incubation) and the use of higher inoculum rates reduced the fermentation time from 96 to 48 h for maximal spore yields. A comparison of various complex nitrogen sources showed that liquid media supplemented with acid hydrolyzed casein or yeast extract supported the production of high concentrations of blastospores that were significantly more desiccation-tolerant (79-82% survival after drying) when compared to blastospores produced in media supplemented with other nitrogen sources (12-50% survival after drying). For rapid spore production, requirements for trace metals and vitamin supplementation were dependent on the type of hydrolyzed casein used in the medium. Fermentor studies with two strains of P. fumosoroseus showed that high concentrations (1.3-1.8×109 spores mL-1) of desiccation-tolerant blastospores could be produced in 48-h fermentations. These studies have demonstrated that the infective spores of various strains of the fungal bioinsecticide Paecilomyces fumosoroseus can be rapidly produced using deep-tank, liquid culture fermentation techniques. 相似文献

Cultivation and preservation of vinegar bacteria 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Ten strains of acetic acid bacteria were investigated for their characteristics of growth and metabolism. The strains were identified as those presently in use for industrial vinegar production in southern Germany. At the time of isolation from industrial acetators the total concentrations, i.e. acetic acid (w/v) plus ethanol (v/v), of the fermenting vinegars were 6.1–14.9%. The applicability of a previously described method for starter preparation was examined for the various isolates as well as for the type strains of species of the genera Gluconobacter and Acetobacter. Isolates from cider or wine vinegar fermentations grew readily in RAE-medium to total counts of >1×109 cells ml−1. For the cultivation of strains isolated from spirit vinegar fermentations AE-medium proved most suitable. Cultures of these strains exhibited lag phases of 2–5 days and grew up to total counts of <1×109 cells ml−1. All type strains could be grown on RAE-agar. The use of 20% malt extract as cryo-protectant was effective for the preservation of all strains. Upon revitalization the cultures were suitable as inoculum for starting fermentations in pilot acetators. 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes were constructed which were species specific for Gluconobacter oxydans or Acetobacter aceti or group specific for Acetobacter europaeus/Acetobacter xylinum. The probes hybridized with the DNA of the respective type strains. Four isolates were allotted to A. europaeus/A. xylinum applying the group specific probe. The DNA of six of the Acetobacter sp. hybridized with none of the probes. 相似文献

Predation potential, development, immature survival and reproduction of an aphidophagous ladybeetle, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) was studied when fed on seven aphid prey, viz. Aphis gossypii, Aphis craccivora, Lipaphis erysimi, Uroleucon compositae, Brevicoryne brassicae, Rhopalosiphum maidis and Myzus persicae. A. gossypii was most suitable and consumed by the larvae and adults of P. dissecta, while M. persicae, the least. Pre-imaginal development of P. dissecta was fastest (0.080 day-1) when A. gossypii was used as prey, whilst slowest (0.061 day-1) on M. persicae. The immature survival, adult emergence, adult male and female longevity of P. dissecta was maximal (i.e., 77.10±0.04 and 93.21±0.79%, 57.10±1.62 and 62.40±1.93 days, respectively) on A. gossypii and minimal (i.e., 63.01±1.87 and 81.73±1.79%, 42.50±1.21 and 49.40±2.32 days, respectively) when M. persicae was provided as prey. Oviposition period, fecundity, percent egg viability and mean reproductive rate was maximum (i.e., 50.30±2.03 days, 856.00±30.00 eggs, 96.40±0.31% and 17.02 eggs per day) on A. gossypii, and minimum (i.e., 18.00±1.40 days, 212.00±18.21 eggs, 72.46±2.81% and 11.78 eggs per day) on M. persicae. Adult weight and developmental rate of P. dissecta have a positive correlation, which suggests that if immature stages of ladybeetle developed faster, they should grow into heavier adults. Female longevity and fecundity also have a positive correlation. The findings also reveal that all seven aphid species tested are essential food. Rank order of prey species was consistent in all experimental parameters. 相似文献

A new Vietnamese isolate of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) was applied in local soybean fields, and the effect of its application on S. litura larvae was examined. The virus was propagated in vivo and a crude extract was prepared for spraying at high and low doses (1.7×108 and 3.3×107 occlusion bodies/m2, respectively). The percentage of larvae infected with NPV increased from 22.2% on the day before NPV application (Day 0) to 50.8% (Day 6) in the high dose treatment plot, and from 7.9% (Day 0) to 35.7% (Day 6) in the low-dose plot. Microsporidium sp. was observed as another major pathogen of S. litura larvae. Three dominant parasitic natural enemies were found in S. litura larvae: Microplitis manilae (Braconidae), Chelonus sp. (Braconidae), and Peribaea orbata (Tachinidae). The fate of parasitoids developing within virus- and Microsporidium- infected hosts differed between these three parasitoids; more Chelonus sp. emerging from infected hosts died during their larval stage before spinning cocoons, or failed to reach adult eclosion, than did P. orbata. This suggests that the impact of virus application on the survival of parasitoids varies from species to species. 相似文献

The susceptibility of third instar Helicoverpa armigera to seven strains of three entomopathogenic fungal species, i.e. Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus, was tested under laboratory conditions using the larval immersion method. High efficacies ranging from 68 to 100% corrected mortality were recorded with more profound effects in treatments with B. bassiana and P. fumosoroseus strains. The median lethal concentration (LC50) for L3 was 6.0×105 in M. anisopliae 79, 1.5×105 in B. bassiana 124 and 4.2×104 in P. fumosoroseus 14. These three strains were further used to characterize the age-dependent mortality of different larval stages (L2-L5) and the effect against pupae of H. armigera. Larval stages did not differ in their mortality but differed i in median lethal time, with shorter values recorded in the second instar. Tested fungi also caused a high reduction between 74.4 and 100% in the emergence of pupae using the soil inoculation method and the pupal immersion technique. All three fungal species, especially P. fumosoroseus, have a high potential for biocontrol of H. armigera larvae and also as a soil treatment targeting the pupae. 相似文献

The neogregarine, Mattesia oryzaephili (Neogregarinorida: Lipotrophidae) has only been reported from the sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis. The pathogen's presence in cadavers of the rusty grain beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus, in collapsed colonies prompted studies of its potential to control stored-product insects. Respective mortality rates in fourth instar C. ferrugineus and C. pusillus were 15.3 and 17.7% at 102 oocysts/g of diet and 89.4 and 80.5% at 105 oocysts/g. The mortality of fourth instar O. surinamensis exposed to 105 oocysts/g was only 12%. For C. ferrugineus larvae, there were no significant differences in mortality and infection between exposure to Mattesia dispora and exposure to M. oryzaephili (P>0.05), but for C. pusillus larvae, both responses were significantly higher for M. oryzaephili than M. dispora. Adult C. ferrugineus and O. surinamensis were similar in their responses to M. oryzaephili, with mortality not exceeding 20%, but differed in their responses to M. dispora, with O. surinamensis being more susceptible. The median lethal doses for larval Mediterranean flour moths, Ephestia kuehniella, were 7.9×107M. oryzaephili oocysts/g of diet and 2.7×103M. dispora oocysts/g of diet. In single dose assays of M. oryzaephili physiological host range, greater than 75% infection was achieved for Rhyzopertha dominica and Plodia interpunctella. More than half of oocysts germinated during passage through the guts of susceptible and resistant insects. Second and third instar Galleria mellonella were highly susceptible to M. oryzaephili infection, but fifth instars were not. Infection percentages in fifth instars exposed to 106 oocysts/g were significant only when boric acid or the stilbene, Blankophor®RHK were incorporated into the diet. Host range and general morphology confirm the identity of Mattesia oryzaephili. 相似文献

Common cocklebur has several biotypes including multiple seeded cocklebur (MSC), NCC-TX, and NCC-MS. Alternaria helianthi applied at 2.5×104 conidia mL-1 in a 50% micro-emulsion of unrefined corn oil (MESUCO) or 0.2% Silwet L 77 caused 60-75% mortality on NCC-TX and MSC. Increasing the conidial concentration to 5×104 mL-1 increased mortality to 100% on MSC and NCC-TX, and 75% on NCC-MS. At 10×104 conidia mL-1, A. helianthi caused 100% mortality in all three biotypes. No mortality occurred in any biotype at inoculation rates of 2.5 and 5×104 conidia mL-1 when applied in water. Increasing the dew period from 0 to 12 h increased mortality from 0 to 100% on all three biotypes at a rate of 2.5×104 conidia mL-1 in Silwet and MESUCO. MSC appears to be the most sensitive biotype. 相似文献

Planktonic larvae experiencing short periods of starvation or reduced food supply often grow and develop more slowly, have poor survival, fail to metamorphose, metamorphose at smaller sizes, or grow slowly as juveniles. In this study, we examined the impact of short periods of food limitation at various stages of larval development on larval and juvenile growth in Crepidula fornicata. In addition, we considered whether juveniles that were stressed as larvae grew poorly because of reduced rates of food collection due to impaired gill function. For 5 experiments, larvae were either starved for several days beginning within 12 h of hatching or were starved for the same number of days following 1 or more days of feeding at full ration (cells of the naked flagellate Isochrysis galbana, clone T-ISO, at 18×104 cells ml−1). In one experiment, larvae were transferred for 2 or 4 days to seawater with extremely low phytoplankton concentration (1×104 cells ml−1). In all experiments, larvae were returned to full ration following treatment. Control larvae were fed full ration from hatching to metamorphosis. When larvae reached shell lengths of about 900 μm they were induced to metamorphose and then reared individually at full ration in glass bowls, with phytoplankton suspension replenished daily. Larval and juvenile growth rates were determined by measuring changes in shell length (longest dimension) over time. Juvenile feeding rates were determined by monitoring changes in phytoplankton concentration over 2–3 h at the end of the growth rate determinations. In general, larval growth rates for the first 2 days after the resumption of feeding were inversely proportional to the length of time that larvae were starved. However, larval growth rates ultimately recovered to control levels in most treatments. Starving the larvae caused a significant reduction in initial juvenile growth rates (first 3–4 days post-metamorphosis) in most experiments even when larval growth rates had recovered to control levels prior to metamorphosis. Juvenile growth rates were not significantly reduced when larvae were subjected to reduced food availability (1×104 cells ml−1), even for treatments in which larval growth rates were compromised. Mean weight-specific filtration rates for juveniles were significantly reduced (p<0.05) following larval feeding experience in only one or possibly 2 of the 4 experiments conducted. Our data suggest that although larvae of C. fornicata may fully recover from early nutritional stress, the resulting juveniles may exhibit poor initial growth due to impaired gill function, reduced digestive capability, or reduced assimilation efficiency. 相似文献

Hatching stage crab larvae will ingest algae, including non-toxic and toxic dinoflagellates. We determined that later zoeal stages, obtained from both laboratory-raised larvae and natural assemblages, also ingest dinoflagellates and we measured the effects of prey density, prior feeding history and time of exposure to prey on incidence of ingestion. Both stage 1 and later stage larvae exposed to algal prey were examined using epifluorescence for the presence of chl a. Both stage 1 and stage 3 laboratory-raised Cancer oregonensis (Dana) and Hemigrapsus nudus (Dana) ingested both the non-toxic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans Ehrenberg and the toxic Alexandrium andersoni Balech, with no difference between the stages. Both species showed higher ingestion of P. micans than A. andersoni. Ingestion of both prey types occurred at prey densities as low as 200 cell ml− 1 in C. oregonensis and 50 cells ml− 1 in H. nudus. Samples collected in summer, 2004, provided both stage 1 and late stage Lophopanopeus bellus (Stimpson); stage 1, intermediate, and late stage Fabia subquadrata Dana; and an unidentified porcellanid. Stage 1 L. bellus ingested both prey, while late stage zoeae did not, although the latter apparently were not actively feeding. F. subquadrata fed on both prey, with no difference between early and late larvae. Both stages ingested P. micans more readily than A. andersoni. First evidence of ingestion of P. micans at 600 cells ml− 1 occurred after only 0.5 h, while it took 2 h for ingestion at 50 cells ml− 1. The model of larval feeding involving both omnivory and prey discrimination described previously for the hatching stage is sustained throughout zoeal development and is, perhaps, an adaptation to an uncertain prey environment, one that trades opportunism for inefficiency. 相似文献

Laboratory and field experiments were performed to determine the efficiency of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora against third instar larvae of the tephritid fruit fly Anastrepha ludens. Infection was affected by low (6%) and high (12-24%) soil moisture; the highest prevalence of infection was observed at 9% moisture. LC50 values were estimated under laboratory conditions at densities of 0.16, 0.26 and 0.64 larvae/cm3 of sand in containers of different depths (2, 5 and 8 cm) at 10% moisture, and larval ages (third instar, early versus late stadium). Third instar A. ludens were significantly more susceptible to infection early in the stadium than late in the stadium, irrespective of host density (LC50 ∼15 infective juvenile nematodes/cm2 soil surface). Infection of late stadium third instars was significantly reduced at low density. Application of 115 and 345 infective juvenile nematodes/cm2 (representing one and three times the laboratory LC50 at the lowest host density, respectively), in experimental plots in a commercial mango orchard, resulted in 46.7% (range of SE: 45.2-48.1) and 76.1% (SE: 74.8-77.3) infection, respectively. We conclude that H. bacteriophora merits further study as a natural enemy of Anastrepha spp. in tropical regions of the Americas. 相似文献

Annual recurrent blooms of the toxic dinoflagellates Alexandrium catenella and Alexandrium minutum were detected from 2000 to 2003 in harbours along the Catalan coast. The interrelation study between the occurrence of the blooms and specific external conditions at the study sites demonstrated that different factors are required for the bloom of each Alexandrium species. Concentrations higher than 105 cells l−1 of A. catenella were only detected in Tarragona harbour. These blooms were associated with water surface temperature between 21 and 25 °C and salinities of around 34 psu or higher than 37 psu. A. minutum appeared widely spread along the Catalan coast, though the most intensive and recurrent blooms of this species were observed in Arenys de Mar harbour. Concentrations of millions of cells per litre of A. minutum were associated with water temperatures below 14 °C and salinities of around 34–36 psu. A. minutum cell densities showed a positive significant correlation with NO3 but a negative correlation with NH4. On the other hand, A. catenella blooms dominated when both NO3 and NH4 levels were high. The prevailing inorganic nitrogen form (NO3 vs. NH4) could explain why these two species rarely coincide in the same harbours. Accumulation of cysts in the sediment was found to be an important potential factor for the recurrence of these species. The 4.3 × 103 A. catenella cysts cm−3 of wet sediment in Tarragona harbour and the 3.02 × 103 A. minutum cysts cm−3 of wet sediment in Vilanova harbour were the highest concentrations observed from the cyst study. Confined waters such as harbours play an important role as reservoirs for the accumulation of cysts and vegetative cells, which contributes to the expansion of these dinoflagellates in the region. However, the particular environmental conditions are also decisive factors of bloom intensity. 相似文献

A novel bloom of Alexandrium minutum occurred in an inner basin of the Cape Town harbour from November 2003 to February 2004. Cellular concentrations reached a maximum of 1.4 × 108 cells l−1 during the mid-December period with corresponding chlorophyll a concentrations of 243 mg m−3. Primary productivity measurements conducted during the latter part of the bloom revealed a maximum assimilation number of 11.17 mg C mg Chl a−1 h−1 during the middle of the day. Productivity during this post-peak period was sustained largely by the reduced nitrogen species NH4 and urea (96%) as measured using 15N tracer techniques. The large subunit ribosomal DNA sequence of A. minutum isolates from Cape Town harbour was identical to conspecifics collected in Western Europe and in Australia. The composition of tetrahydropurine neurotoxins associated with paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) was limited to gonyautoxins (GTX1-GTX4). This profile combined with evidence of a low toxin cell quota (1.5 fmol GTX cell−1) supports a close association of this taxon with other members of the A. minutum species complex, particularly from Europe. Toxin analysis from black mussels collected during this bloom indicated that the accumulated PSP toxins originated from A. minutum and not from Alexandrium catenella as is most often the case along the South African coast. 相似文献
