The growth of Chlorella vulgaris and Stichococcus bacillaris cultures in media containing from 20 to 100 mg Cd/l was studied. The examined strains were found to be highly resistant to the action of cadmium since the highest concentration of the metal used limited the production of dry weight (during 5 days of cultivation) by less than 50%. The lower production of chlorophyll a by S. bacillaris cultures in media containing from 60 to 100 mg Cd/l and 2-fold elongation of the cells point to lower tolerance of the strain to cadmium than that shown by C. vulgaris.  相似文献

The effects of three ecdysteroids, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone (2d20E) and 20-hydroxyecdysone 22-acetate (20E22Ac), on growth and the levels of cellular components in Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck (Trebouxiophyceae) are reported and compared with data previously reported for ecdysone (E; Bajguz A and Koronka A, Plant Physiol Biochem 39: 707–715, 2001). All three 20-hydroxyecdysteroids stimulate growth of C. vulgaris cells over a wide concentration range (10−16 to 10−7  M ). Optimal stimulation is observed at 10−9  M with each ecdysteroid. High concentrations (>10−6  M ) are cytotoxic. The potency ranking of the ecdysteroids is 20E > 20E22Ac > 2d20E > E. Levels per cell of DNA, RNA, protein, sugars, organic and inorganic phosphorus, chlorophylls a and b and phaeophytins a and b are all stimulated by ecdysteroid treatment when compared with the untreated control cells. Possible modes of action of ecdysteroids on C. vulgaris cells are discussed.  相似文献

Removal and biodegradation of nonylphenol by immobilized Chlorella vulgaris   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The removal and biodegradation of nonylphenol (NP) by alginate-immobilized cells of Chlorella vulgaris were compared with their respective free cultures. The effects of four cell densities of 10(4) per algal bead were investigated, as were the four algal bead concentrations, with regard to the removal and biodegradation of NP. Although immobilization significantly decreased the growth rate and NP's biodegradation efficiency of C. vulgaris, NP removal over a short period was enhanced. The NP removal mechanism by immobilized cells was similar to that by free cells, including adsorption onto alginate matrix and algal cells, absorption within cells and cellular biodegradation. The optimal cell density and bead concentration for the removal and biodegradation of NP was 50-100×10(4) cells algal bead(-1) and 2-4 beads ml(-1) of wastewater, respectively. These results demonstrated that immobilized C. vulgaris cells under optimal biomass and photoautotrophic conditions are effective in removing NP from contaminated water.  相似文献

The basic requirements for high-density photoautotrophic microalgal cultures in enclosed photobioreactors are a powerful light source and proper distribution of light, efficient gas exchange, and suitable medium composition. This article introduces the concept of balancing the elemental composition of growth medium with biomass composition to obtain high-density cultures. N-8 medium, commonly used for culturing Chlorella vulgaris was evaluated for its capacity to support high-density cultures on the basis of elemental stoichiometric composition of C. vulgaris. This analysis showed that the N-8 medium is deficient in iron, magnesium, sulfur, and nitrogen at high cell densities. N-8 medium was redesigned to contain stoichiometrically balanced quantities of the four deficient elements to support a biomass concentration of 2% (v/v). The redesigned medium, called M-8 medium, resulted in up to three- to fivefold increase in total chlorophyll content per volume of culture as compared to N-8 medium. Further experiments showed that addition of each of the four elements separately to N-8 medium did not improve culture performance and that balanced supplementation of all four deficient elements was required to yield the improved performance. Long-term (24 d) C. vulgaris culture in M-8 medium showed continuous increase in chlorophyll content and biomass throughout the period of cultivation. In contrast, the increase in chlorophyll content and biomass ceased after 7 and 12 d, respectively in N-8 medium, demonstrating the higher capacity of M-8 medium to produce biomass. Thus, the performance of high cell density photobioreactors can be significantly enhanced by proper medium design. The elemental composition of the biomass generated is an appropriate basis for medium design.  相似文献

A Dunaliella strain was isolated from salt crystals obtained from experimental salt farm of the institute (latitude 21.46 N, longitude 72.11 degrees E). The comparative homology study of amplified molecular signature 18S rRNA, proves the isolated strain as D. salina. The growth pattern and metabolic responses such as proline, glycine betaine, glycerol, total protein and total sugar content to different salinity (from 0.5 to 5.5 M NaCl) were studied. The optimum growth was observed at 1.0 M NaCl and thereafter it started to decline. Maximum growth was obtained on 17th day of inoculation in all salt concentrations except 0.5 M NaCl, whereas maximum growth was observed on 13th day. There were no significant differences (P < 0.01) in chlorophyll a/b contents (1.0-1.16 +/- 0.05 mug chl. a and 0.2-0.29 +/- 0.01 mug chl. b per 10(6) cells) up to 2.0 M NaCl, however at 3.0 M NaCl a significant increase (2.5 +/- 0.12 mug chl. a and 0.84 +/- 0.4 mug chl. b per 10(6) cells) was observed which declined again at 5.5 M NaCl concentration (2.0 +/- 0.1 mug chl. a and 0.52 +/- 0.03 mug chl. b per 10(6) cells). Stress metabolites such as proline, glycine betaine, glycerol and total sugar content increased concomitantly with salt concentration. Maximum increase in proline (1.4 +/- 0.07 mug), glycine betaine (5.7 +/- 0.28 mug), glycerol (3.7 +/- 0.18 ml) and total sugar (250 +/- 12.5 mug) per 10(5) cells was observed in 5.5 M NaCl. A decrease in total protein with reference to 0.5 M NaCl was observed up to 3.0 M NaCl, however, a significant increase (P < 0.01) was observed at 5.5 M NaCl (0.19 +/- 0.01 mug per 10(5) cells). Inductive coupled plasma (ICP) analysis shows that intracellular Na(+) remained unchanged up to 2.0 M NaCl concentration and thereafter a significant increase was observed. No relevant increase in the intracellular level of K(+) and Mg(++) was observed with increasing salt concentration. Evaluation of physiological and metabolic attributes of Dunaliella salina can be used to explore its biotechnological and industrial potential.  相似文献

The effect of the brassinosteroid (BR) 24-epibrassinolide (epiBL; 10(-13)-10(-6)M) on growth and levels of chlorophylls, carotenoids, sugars and protein in Wolffia arrhiza after 7 days of cultivation is reported. Application of epiBL to W. arrhiza cultures stimulates the growth and increases the content of photosynthetic pigments, sugar and protein. The greatest effect of epiBL is observed at a concentration of 10(-9)M. We tested the action of Brz2001, a specific BR biosynthesis inhibitor, in the range of 10(-6)-10(-4)M. Addition of Brz2001 to W. arrhiza cultures inhibits their growth after 7 days of cultivation. The inhibition of growth could be reversed by the addition of epiBL. Moreover, there was not complete recovery to the level of control, especially at 5 x 10(-5)-10(-4)M Brz2001. The effects of treatment with 10(-9)M epiBL mixed with a mevalonate pathway inhibitor (mevinolin), or a 2-methylerythritol 4-phosphate pathway inhibitor (clomazone), were also investigated. Mevinolin did not inhibit growth of W. arrhiza after 7 days of cultivation. However, clomazone did. Addition of epiBL overcame this inhibition. These results suggest that the mevalonate pathway may not function well in W. arrhiza and that biosynthesis of BRs through the non-mevalonate pathway in W. arrhiza could be possible.  相似文献

Batch cultures of Chlorella vulgaris and C. variegata reproducing about twice every 5 d within 0-15 d had vegetative cells and autospore mother cells in the ratio of about 19 : 1. Continuous slow or negligible and/or no growth in > 15-d-old control cultures or in young cultures supplied with the antibiotics streptomycin, penicillin, amoxycillin (10-1000 ppm) or tetracycline (10, 100 ppm), and pesticides carbofuran, gammaxine, moticop or iralon (1-100 ppm) was due to slow autospore mother cells dehiscence (leading to an increase in their percentage); while negligible and/or no growth of both algal species in sewage water (100, 25%), detergent (0.1-1%), petrol or kerosene (5-20 %), benzene, toluene or phenol (5, 10%) and pesticides rogor or endosulfan (1, 10 ppm) was due to vegetative cells failure to differentiate into auto-spore mother cells (leading to decreased/zero autospore mother cells percentage) and/or rapid death of all cells. C. variegata was equally or slightly more sensitive to different chemical stress than C. vulgaris.  相似文献

Explants of the ganglion trigeminale from chick embryos (PNS) and of the hippocampus from fetal rats (CNS) were cultivated in maximow chambers with growth medium or maintanance medium. Varied concentrations of substance P (SP . 3 CH3COOH . 4 H2O) were added. 1. The effect of substance P (SP) is related to concentration. In the presence of 10(-7)M SP in the growth medium and of 10(-4)M SP in the maintanance medium the cultivation of PNS cultures indicates positive results. These doses are suitable. 2. Within the first 24 hours in vitro SP stimulates the index of area in PNS cultures. The index of characterizes the relation of the outgrowth zone to the explant. In CNS cultures a significant difference of this effect was not observed. 3. The index of growth of nerve fibers may compare the test cultures with the control cultures. SP significantly increases the index of fiber growth in PNS cultures. A stimulation of CNS cultures was observed, significance was not found. 4. From the beginning of the cultivation with SP up to 48 hours in vitro the growth of nerve fibers significantly increases in the treated cultures in comparison with the control cultures. After this time the growth of nerve fibers decreased and a morphological conformity of test cultures and controls was observed. 5. The role of SP is discussed in specific activity on PNS tissue in vitro. The reactive neurons may be from the medio dorsal group of cells of the sensible ganglion.  相似文献

The role of estrogens on the proliferation of human breast tumor cells (MCF-7)   总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18  
The cloned human breast tumor cell line C7MCF7-173 behaved as an estrogen-dependent tumor in the nude mice. In contrast, E2 added to serum-less media did not increase the multiplication rate of these cells over the values obtained in the control cultures. Media supplemented with charcoal-dextran stripped (CD) human female serum (FHS) resulted in inhibition of cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent pattern (40% = 20% greater than 10% greater than 5% greater than 2.5%). E2 addition to all but the 2.5% CDFHS significantly increased the proliferation rate of these cells. The E2 concentration required to attain maximal proliferation rate increased as the serum concentration of the medium increased (e.g. 3 X 10(-11)M for 10% CDFHS, 3 X 10(-10)M for 40% CDFHS). E2 concentrations higher than the one needed to achieve maximal proliferation rate resulted in decreased cell yields (shut-off mechanism). Similar effects were obtained with synthetic and other natural estrogens. CD fetal bovine serum (FBS) also inhibited the proliferation of C7MCF7-173 cells; however, at similar concentration the inhibitory effect of CDFHS was more potent than the one obtained with CDFBS. The addition of "growth factors" (insulin, Epidermal Growth Factor and transferrin) and non-estrogenic steroids to 10% CDFHS failed to overcome the inhibitory effect of this serum. These results suggest that: (1) human and fetal bovine sera contain a specific inhibitor of the proliferation of E2-sensitive cells (estrocolyones), and (2) E2 promotes cell proliferation by neutralizing this inhibitor.  相似文献

Effect of iron on growth and lipid accumulation in Chlorella vulgaris   总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12  
Liu ZY  Wang GC  Zhou BC 《Bioresource technology》2008,99(11):4717-4722
The economic feasibility of algal mass culture for biodiesel production is enhanced by the increase in biomass productivity and storage lipids. Effect of iron on growth and lipid accumulation in marine microalgae Chlorella vulgaris were investigated. In experiment I, supplementing the growth media with chelated FeCl3 in the late growth phase increased the final cell density but did not induce lipid accumulation in cells. In experiment II, cells in the late-exponential growth phase were collected by centrifugation and re-inoculated into new media supplemented with five levels of Fe3+ concentration. Total lipid content in cultures supplemented with 1.2 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) FeCl3 was up to 56.6% biomass by dry weight and was 3-7-fold that in other media supplemented with lower iron concentration. Moreover, a simple and rapid method determining the lipid accumulation in C. vulgaris with spectrofluorimetry was developed.  相似文献

In cultivation of meningococcus of serological group A in fluid semisynthetic medium of simple composition prepared on the basis of purified acid casein hydrolysate with profound splitting there were obtained microbial cultures with a density of 4-5 x 10(9) microbial cells per 1 ml after 20-24 hours of cultivation with shaking. Alkalinity of the medium increased (to pH 8.0-8.2 during the stationary phase) with increase of the microbial cell concentration. A study of the accumulation of group-specific thermostable polysaccharide antigen in dynamics of meningococcus cultivation on semisynthetic medium tested showed the preparations obtained by alcoholic precipitation to be colourless and to contain much antigen (by inhibition of indirect hemagglutination), particularly at the phasees of negative growth acceleration and at the stationary phase. The suggested fluid semisynthetic medium of simple composition could be used for production of diagnostic and prophylactic meningococcus preparations belonging to the serological group A.  相似文献

Clostridium acetobutylicum exhibited diauxie growth in the presence of mixtures of glucose and xylose. Both glucose- and xylose-grown cells had a glucose uptake activity. On the other hand, growth on xylose was associated with the induction of a xylose permease activity, which was repressed by glucose in xylose-induced cells. The rate of sugar uptake with increasing sugar concentrations showed saturation kinetics with an apparent Km of 1.25 X 10(-5) M for glucose and 5 X 10(-3) M for xylose. Concomitant with the production of solvents, the activities of the glucose and xylose transport systems decreased. Among the main products of fermentation, butanol was shown to be a potent inhibitor of the growth of the organism and of the rate of sugar uptake as well as of sugar incorporation into cell materials. These inhibitory effects of butanol were more pronounced in xylose-grown cells than in glucose-grown cells. Butanol completely inhibited growth at a concentration of 14 g/liter for cultures growing on glucose and 8 g/liter for cultures growing on xylose. Concentrations of 7 and 10.5 g/liter of butanol caused a 50% inhibition of the xylose and glucose incorporations into cell materials. These inhibitory levels of butanol were found in typical glucose or xylose fermentation.  相似文献

We compared the metabolism of methanol and acetate when Methanosarcina barkeri was grown in the presence and absence of Desulfovibrio vulgaris. The sulfate reducer was not able to utilize methanol or acetate as the electron donor for energy metabolism in pure culture, but was able to grow in coculture. Pure cultures of M. barkeri produced up to 10 mumol of H(2) per liter in the culture headspace during growth on acetate or methanol. In coculture with D. vulgaris, the gaseous H(2) concentration was 相似文献

The dynamics of proliferative activity of cells was studied in the cultures of organotypic recombinants obtained from embryonic lung epithelium (E) and mesenchyma (M) of the intact and treated transplacentally by urethane mice (strain A). The labelling index (LI) of E and M in the aggregates obtained from treated embryonic lungs (EtMt) was significantly higher than LI in the aggregates from intact embryonic lungs (EiMi) in all days of cultivation (4-7-14). M from the treated embryonic lungs stimulated LI of the intact E (EiMt) but M from the intact embryonic lungs decreased LI of the treated E (EtMi).  相似文献

Production of Enterobifidin comprises preparation of culture media, reparation of lyophilized Bifidobacterium adolescentis MS-42 culture, preparation of starters, cultivation of bacteria in fermenters, biomass conservation, and its biological control. The preparation contains physiologically active bifidobacterium cells with high activities of growth (mu = 0.7 h-1, g = 1.0 h) and acid formation (titratable acidity is approximately 120-140 degrees T; acetate concentration, 0.50-0.75%; and lactate concentration, 0.33-0.50%). The antagonistic activity of these bacteria towards Escherichia coli 08, E. coli 086, E. coli 015, E. coli 0115, and E. coli 0101 amounts to 98.2;, to Proteus vulgaris 102, to 87.2; and Staphylococcus aureus 209p, to 83.2%. The bifidobacteria (with a titer of 10(9) CFU/ml) remained viable for two to five months.  相似文献

GH(4)C(1) cells are a clonal strain of rat pituitary cells that synthesize and secrete prolactin and growth hormone. Chronic treatment (longer than 24 h) of GH(4)C(1) cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) (10(-8) M) decreased by 30-40 percent both the rate of cell proliferation and the plateau density reached by cultures. Inhibition of cell proliferation was accompanied by a change in cellular morphology from a spherical appearance to an elongated flattened shape and by a 40-60 percent increase in cell volume. These actions of EGF were qualitatively similar to those of the hypothalamic tripeptide thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) (10(-7) M) which decreased the rate of cell proliferation by 10-20 percent and caused a 15 percent increase in cell volume. The presence of supramaximal concentrations of both EGF (10(-8)M) and TRH (10(-7)M) resulted in greater effects on cell volume and cell multiplication than either peptide alone. EGF also altered hormone production by GH(4)C(1) cells in the same manner as TRH. Treatment of cultures with 10(-8) M EGF for 2-6 d increased prolactin synthesis five- to ninefold compared to a two- to threefold stimulation by 10(-7) M TRH. Growth hormone production by the same cultures was inhibited 40 percent by EGF and 15 percent by TRH. The half- maximal effect of EGF to increase prolactin synthesis, decrease growth hormone production, and inhibit cell proliferation occurred at a concentration of 5 x 10 (-11) M. Insulin and multiplication stimulating activity, two other growth factors tested, did not alter cell proliferation, cell morphology, or hormone production by GH(4)C(1) cells, indicating the specificity of the EGF effect. Fibroblast growth factor, however, had effects similar to those of EGF and TRH. Of five pituitary cell strains tested, all but one responded to chronic EGF treatment with specifically altered hormone production. Acute chronic EGF treatment with specifically altered hormone production. Acute treatment (30 min) of GH(4)C(1) cells with 10(-8) M EGF caused a 30 percent enhancement of prolactin release compared to a greater than twofold increase caused by 10(-7) M TRH. Therefore, although EGF and TRH have qualitatively similar effects on GH(4)C(1) cells, their powers to affect hormone release acutely or hormone synthesis and cell proliferation chronically are distinct.  相似文献

Abstract

Research on submerged culture of single cells of higher plants. — The author describes a method which allows to obtain submerged cultures of single cells of Phaseolus vulgaris and Nicotiana tabacum. The medium composition in macroelements in the culture on agar appears to effect to a great extent the ability of tissues to dissociate into single cells in the subsequent liquid culture. In this respect Heller's solution results to be more suitable than Gautheret's and Hildebrandt and Ri-ker's.

Cells are grown at 24 [ddot]C in 300 ml flasks containing 60 ml of broth on a rotary shaker at 220 rpm.

To prevent contaminations some antibacterial agents were added to cultures of Phaseolus vulgaris. Among these Penicillin and Neomycin were not tossic at 20 and 5 ppm concentrations respectively.

The presence of septa, which are observed also in largely vacuolate cells, seems to confirm the ability of single cells to divide.

The optimum 2,4-D concentration for growth decreases from 6 × 10-8 to 6 × 10-8 during successive liquid cultures, each of them being inoculated with on amount of the previous one. This fact, showing the adaptation of liquid cultures to decreasing concentrations of the growth hormone, is in agreement with previous observations in solid cultures by several authors.  相似文献

Little is known about the influence of magnetic fields (MF) on growth of microalgae such as Chlorella vulgaris, which has been consumed as health food for various nutritional and pharmacological effects. This preliminary study investigated whether static MF can modulate the antioxidant system in C. vulgaris by exposing the cells to static MF generated by dual yoke electromagnets with magnetic flux density of 10-50 mT for 12 h. After exposure to 10-35 mT for 12 h, the activity of superoxide dismutases and peroxidase increased significantly compared to control cells. However, a remarkable increase of catalase activity occurred at 45 and 50 mT. The lipid peroxidation of algae cells determined by production of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances was much increased when exposed to 35, 45, and 50 mT of MF. The scavenging ability of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical was decreased markedly while there was no variation of total carotenoids content in C. vulgaris cells. Assay of specific growth rate in 72 h cultivation after MF exposure was also conducted. In groups after exposure to 10-35 mT of MF, specific growth rate was significantly increased. These results suggest that 10-35 mT of static MF exposure could promote the growth of C. vulgaris and regulate its antioxidant defense system to protect cells efficiently, which could possibly enhance the growth of C. vulgaris in industrialized cultivation by MF.  相似文献

Lectins from Helix pomatia, Canavalia ensiformis, Agaricus bisporus and Triticum vulgaris agglutinated cultures of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Listeria and Salmonella spp. This agglutination was specific as it was inhibited (except with A. bisporus lectin) by the competing sugar substrates. The ability of three of these lectins, immobilized on a variety of supports, to separate these micro-organisms from pure cultures was investigated. Immobilization of the lectins on magnetic microspheres was the most effective method. Immobilized T. vulgaris lectin bound 87-100% of cells from cultures of L. monocytogenes, 80-100% of Staph. aureus, 33-45% of Salmonella spp. and 42-77% of E. coli. The A. bisporus lectin bound 31-63% of cells in cultures of L. monocytogenes, 83% of Staph. aureus but only 3-5% of the salmonella cells. Similarly H. pomatia lectin bound greater than 92% of Staph. aureus and 64% of L. monocytogenes cells but was poor at binding the Gram-negative organisms. This preference for binding Gram-positive organisms was confirmed when mixed cultures were studied. The T. vulgaris lectin was effective in removing L. monocytogenes (43%) and Staph. aureus (26%) from diluted milk and Salmonella (31-54%) from raw egg. Agaricus bisporus lectin removed L. monocytogenes from undiluted milk (10-47%) or ground beef (32-50%).  相似文献
