链霉菌科分类的研究III．链霉菌科中的一个新属

从我国云南省西双版纳热带植物研究所的土壤中分离到二株菌,编号80—56、80 57。该菌株气丝形成非轮生的孢子链,基内菌丝体不断裂,形态与培养特征与链霉菌属基本相似。但由于细胞壁水解物中含有…o一二氨基庚二酸、甘氨酸。全细胞水解物中含有半乳糖,与链霉菌属胞壁组分含LL二氨基庚二酸、甘氨酸,不含特征性糖有明显区别。故菌株80—56、80一57不能归人到过去任何一个放线菌属中,因此建立新属——类链霉菌属(Streptomycoides n.gen．),此二菌株为该新属的代表种,定名为青黄类链霉菌(Streptomycoides glaucoflavus n.sp．),典型菌株80—56。

链霉菌育种进展

链霉菌是放线菌中最重要的一属,它产生绝大部分抗生素和其它众多活性物质。随着分子生物学的发展,链霉菌育种技术也日益多样。本文从基因突变与育种,遗传重组与育种、基因表达调控与代谢调节育种、基因工程与定向育种等四个方面综述链霉菌育种的进展。     

链霉菌原生质体的再生

（续１９９８年第３３卷第１期第４１页）３原生质体的再生链霉菌原生质体的再生是指经去壁的原生质体在高渗的再生培养基上,一方面再生出原有的细胞壁,恢复菌丝原来的完整形态,另一方面恢复细胞的生理功能,保证细胞萌发、生长和分裂。原生质体再生过程有以下几个步骤...     

链霉菌原生质体的制备

原生质体是细胞去除了坚韧细胞壁后对渗透压极为敏感的球质体,最外层是裸露的细胞质膜,失去了细胞壁的原生质体,染色体ＤＮＡ在诱变剂作用下,更易引起死亡突变,敏感性提高。菌种的敏感性越高,诱发突变的机会越大。因此,用原生质体代替孢子、菌丝细胞作为诱变育种的...     

链霉菌属的两个新种

从陕西省武功县的土壤中分离到二株链霉菌,编号为78一113和78一118。其气生菌丝体分别为淡蓝及浅灰蓝,基内菌丝体为蓝色和棕色。螺旋形孢子丝随着培养过程逐渐盘卷成球形或亚球形的团状体,未观察到硬的孢囊壁,类似假孢囊,盘卷的分生孢子链清晰可见。经鉴定,认为是链霉菌属的两个新种,命名为蓝色假孢囊链霉菌(Streptomyces cyaneo-pseudosporangiusn.sp.)和微蓝灰假孢囊链霉菌(Streptomyres plumbeo-pseudosporangius n．Sp．)。     

粉红孢链霉菌的两个新种

从山东省和西安市的土样中,分离到3株气丝为粉红色调的链霉菌,编号为0769、01762和01 763。经形态、培养特征和生理生化特性的研究,它们与已知的近似种均不相同,因此定为新种,命名为玫瑰暗红链霉菌(Streptomyces roseoerythraeus n.sp.)(0769)和玫瑰肉色链霉菌(Streptomyces roseocarneus n.sp．)(01 762、01763,其中以01 762为标准株)。     

链霉菌分类研究进展

自从Waksman和Henrici[1]于1943年建立链霉菌属(Streptomyces)以来,链霉菌已成为细菌域中种的数量最大的一个属.目前,包括出现在专利中的种已经超过3000个,至1996年已有有效描述的种464个和亚种45个[2].由于链霉菌是产生抗生素等生物活性物质种类最多的一类微生物,因此至今各国学者仍在不断研究设计新的分离、培养、鉴定和分类方法,以指导新的天然生物活性物质的寻找.但长期以来,国际上因缺少可以接受的统一的分类鉴定标准,导致了链霉菌分类中的混乱.     

链霉菌ACCC40021的多基因系统进化分析

链霉菌ACCC40021是尹莘耘1953年分离筛选,用于农业生产的抗生菌肥。该菌株1979年经鉴定为泾阳链霉菌(Streptomyces jingyangensis),但该菌株名称一直没有在国际上得到有效发表。为了在分子水平上明确该菌株的分类地位,对ACCC40021的菌株进行了16SrRNA和gyrB,recA,rpoB和trpB等基因的进化分析,将ACCC40021鉴定为黄赭色链霉菌(Streptomyces silaceus)。     

Rapid identification of Rhizobium strains by targeted PCR fingerprinting

Numerous polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based procedures are routinely used to produce genomic fingerprints of prokaryotes. Many of them have drawbacks however such as sensitivity to experimental variation, lack of reproducibility, poor resolution and the inability to distinguish between closely related strains. To overcome these difficulties, we developed an alternative procedure, Targeted PCR Fingerprinting (TPF) which is based upon the amplification of few but carefully selected markers, followed by high resolution RFLP analysis of the amplified DNA fragments. In contrast to most fingerprinting protocols that use low resolution agarose gels, TPF patterns are produced on denaturing polyacrylamide gels which allow the precise recording of the genomic fingerprints. TPF analysis, which can simultaneously process 96 samples in less than 12 h and remains unaffected by slight experimental variations, is particularly adapted for the rapid identification of target strains amongst many field isolates. Using PCR primers specific for the nifH and recA genes, this procedure was also sufficiently sensitive to discriminate between Rhizobium species NGR234 and R. fredii USDA257, two closely related bacteria in which the symbiotic loci are 98% homologous. Interestingly, comparison of several of their symbiotic genes as well as the partial DNA sequences of their 16S rDNA and recA genes suggest that chromosomes and symbiotic plasmids did not co-evolve, but that symbiotic functions were acquired by lateral gene transfer long after NGR234 and USDA257 diverged from their common ancestors. In this respect, TPF fingerprints produced with distinct chromosomal and plasmid born markers, such as the recA and the nifH genes in NGR234 and USDA257, are probably more likely to detect lateral transfer of genes in bacterial field-populations than procedures relying on the amplification of numerous fragments of unknown genomic position and biological function.

用ITS和ISSR分子标记技术鉴别香菇生产用种

通过选用香菇生产中存在名称争议或者名称相近或者同一名称但长期在不同地区栽培的12株香菇生产菌株,以及用于种水平对比的豹皮香菇Lentinuslepideus和虎皮香菇Lentinustigrinus的4个菌株,共16个菌株作为供试材料,进行ITS和ISSR遗传分析,并用RAPD技术验证试验结果。结果证明,不同种的ITS长度存在差异,再次证明ITS可以有效区别种之间的菌株;在ISSR的菌株水平分析中,香菇种内材料拥有两个共同的条带,与其他两种菌株的带型图谱有着明显差异,其中5对材料的带型图谱极为相近。RAPD验证结果与上述结果相近。由此可见,结合ITS与ISSR技术是可以用作香菇生产菌株鉴别的,这为ITS和ISSR分子标记技术推广应用于香菇生产菌株的快速准确鉴别提供了技术依据。     

Mammalian species identification by interspersed repeat PCR fingerprinting

Most DNA methods for species identification of animal tissues test the presence/absence of one species per assay, requiring several tests for a complete analysis and prior knowledge of the species that are potentially present in the sample. Here we demonstrate that PCR with fluorescently labeled MIR (mammalian-wide interspersed repeat) primers generate fingerprints that are suitable for rapid identification of known and unknown species on an automatic sequencing apparatus and with computer-assisted data processing. The method allows the analysis of processed meat samples and offers a convenient alternative to sequencing of mitochondrial DNA. Received 19 December 1997/ Accepted in revised form 15 June 1998     

Genomic and Phenotypic Analyses of Microorganisms Isolated from the Sediments of Lake Baikal

Genetic and biochemical methods and morphological examination were used to study microorganisms isolated from samples of deep drilling of the Lake Baikal bottom sediments. Based on blot hybridization patterns, the strains investigated were divided into several groups according to the degree of homology of their genomic DNA. Morphological, biochemical, and ultrastructural characteristics of bacterial strains are described, and their compliance with the genomic analysis data is demonstrated.     

How to monitor released rhizobia

Existing methods for detection and identification of rhizobia are reviewed. Some perspectives for development of new and more effective techniques for monitoring of rhizobia in soil and in inoculants are presented. The advantages of the recently developed approach — PCR-genome fingerprinting, by use of arbitrary and repetitive primers, for precise bacterial identification are described. The possible application of this technique for developing taxon-specific rhizobial probes for direct detection of these bacteria in environmental samples is discussed.     

Identification of Dekkera bruxellensis as a major contaminant yeast in continuous fuel ethanol fermentation

AIMS: To identify and characterize the main contaminant yeast species detected in fuel-ethanol production plants in Northeast region of Brazil by using molecular methods. METHODS AND RESULTS: Total DNA from yeast colonies isolated from the fermentation must of industrial alcohol plants was submitted to PCR fingerprinting, D1/D2 28S rDNA sequencing and species-specific PCR analysis. The most frequent non-Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates were identified as belonging to the species Dekkera bruxellensis, and several genetic strains could be discriminated among the isolates. The yeast population dynamics was followed on a daily basis during a whole crop harvesting period in a particular industry, showing the potential of D. bruxellensis to grow faster than S. cerevisiae in industrial conditions, causing recurrent and severe contamination episodes. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that D. bruxellensis is one of the most important contaminant yeasts in distilleries producing fuel-ethanol from crude sugar cane juice, specially in continuous fermentation systems. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Severe contamination of the industrial fermentation process by Dekkera yeasts has a negative impact on ethanol yield and productivity. Therefore, early detection of D. bruxellensis in industrial musts may avoid operational problems in alcohol-producing plants.
