A defined medium of low osmolarity was developed permitting growth of Rhizobium meliloti with generation times of approximately 2.8 h doubling-1. The effects of sodium, potassium, magnesium, ammonium, chloride, sulfate, phosphate, bicarbonate and acetate ions on the growth rate of R. meliloti were determined. Sodium, potassium and ammonium ions had little effect on growth at concentrations of 100 mEq or less; magnesium ion inhibited growth severely at concentrations of 50 mEq (25 mM). Of the anions, chloride and sulfate appeared to have little effect while phosphate, bicarbonate, and acetate inhibited growth at concentrations of as little as 25 mEq. The addition of proline, glutamate, or betaine to cells growing in inhibitory concentrations of NaCl did not relieve the inhibition. When grown in the presence of inhibitory levels of NaCl, the intracellular concentration of glutamate but not of proline or gamma amino butyric acid increased 5-fold. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of the concentrations of medium components on the growth of Methylobacterium sp. for poly--hydroxybutyrate production was investigated by measuring the specific growth rates for various concentrations of each medium component. When the methanol concentration was increased, the cell growth decreased and was strongly inhibited above 6% (v/v) methanol. Ammonia, calcium and iron ion did not significantly inhibit the cell growth while there were some inhibitory effects at high concentrations of sodium, potassium, and magnesium. In particular, phosphate gave most significant inhibition at concentrations higher than 75 mM. By using an automatic feeding control system of methanol, ammonia, phosphate, and minerals, their concentrations were maintained within the level necessary to reduce the inhibition of medium components. The finial dry cell weight of Methylobacterium sp. in such a system was 172 g/l at 84 h. 相似文献

Cations, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, copper, iron, nickel and zinc, inhibited (up to 40%) extracellular binding and intracellular uptake of cadmium by Lemna polyrhiza in solution culture. Test plants showed a high capacity of extracellular cadmium binding which was competitively inhibited by copper, nickel and zinc; however, calcium, magnesium and potassium caused non-competitive inhibition. Iron and sodium increased K
m and decreased V
max, thereby causing mixed inhibition of extracellular binding. Intracellular cadmium uptake displayed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. It was competitively inhibited by calcium, magnesium, iron, nickel and zinc. Monovalent cations (sodium and potassium) caused non-competitive and copper caused mixed inhibition of intracellular cadmium uptake. Thus, high levels of cations and metals in the external environment should be expected to lower the cadmium accumulation efficiency of L. polyrhiza. 相似文献

The effects of compactin, a specific inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, on the growth of alfalfa seedlings in vivo and the rhizogenesis of pepper explants in vitro were investigated. Compactin added to the agar medium inhibited the elongation of roots and hypocotyls of etiolated alfalfa seedlings. The growth inhibition was accompanied by strict inhibition of sterol synthesis. Addition of mevalonic acid, the direct product of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, together with compactin relieved the growth inhibition. The sterol level in the seedlings was also protected against the lowering effect of compactin. Similarly, the rhizogenetic process of cultured explants of pepper was inhibited by compactin and relieved by mevalonic acid. Several isoprenoid end products were tested in combination with compactin to determine which compounds, if any, might be limiting for growth. Exogenously supplied isoprenoids failed to relieve the growth inhibition of seedlings. In contrast, they partly relieved the growth inhibition of explants, suggesting their important role in plant growth. During the course of these experiments, it was also found that brassinolide caused remarkable growth inhibition and twisting of alfalfa seedlings. 相似文献

The joint action of L-valine and L-isoleucine, L-leucine and L-isoleucine, and L-valine and L-leucine on the growth of Spirodela polyrhiza was established. The effect of one branched-chain amino acid on growth inhibition by another one was compared with the non-specific antagonisms which glycine and L-alanine exert on growth inhibition by singly supplied branched-chain amino acids. In this way specific and non-specific interactions could be distinguished. It appeared that: (1) L-isoleucine was a specific antagonist of L-valine; (2) L-leucine was a specific antagonist of L-isoleucine; (3) L-valine and L-leucine were synergistic growth inhibitors. Further, it was found that: (4) growth inhibition by L-leucine was specifically antagonized by simultaneously supplied L-valine and L-isoleucine; (5) an excess of L-isoleucine strongly inhibited the conversion of exogenous valine into leucine; (6) accumulation of valine was typical of isoleucine-induced growth inhibition. The results are consistent with the view that growth inhibition by L-valine and L-leucine is due to the blocking of acetohydroxy acid synthetase, the first common enzyme in the valine-isoleucine biosynthetic pathway. Growth inhibition by L-isoleucine, however, seems to result from inhibition of leucine synthesis at a step after 2-oxoisovaleric acid. Some aspects of the regulation of branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis in higher plants are discussed. 相似文献

Summary The hydrodynamics of mature pollen rehydration in Nicotiana tabacum was used to study reversible inhibition of pollen germination in vitro. Tobacco pollen was incubated for various times in media containing calcium, potassium and magnesium salts, boric acid, and exhibiting different osmotic pressures as a function of sucrose concentration. Total inhibition of germination with complete viability preservation was achieved for 56 h by keeping the grains in medium with 80% sucrose, since typical percentages of germination and pollen tube lengths were recovered after this treatment. These effects were considered as consequences of natural osmoregulation of rehydration/germination in mature pollen. The possibility of applying these findings to the incubation of pollen with Agrobacterium tumefaciens to develop a pollen transformation method is discussed. 相似文献

The effect of pressure and temperature on the growth of the mesophilic lactic acid bacteria Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis was studied. Both strains were piezosensitive. Lb. sanfranciscensis failed to grow at 50 MPa and the growth rate of Lc. lactis at 50 MPa was less than 30% of that at atmospheric pressure. An increase of growth temperature did not improve the piezotolerance of either organism. During growth under high-pressure conditions, the cell morphology was changed, and the cells were elongated as cell division was inhibited. At atmospheric pressure, temperatures above the optimal temperature for growth caused a similar effect on cell morphology and cell division in both bacteria as that observed under high-pressure conditions. The segregation and condensation of chromosomal DNA were observed by DAPI staining and occurred normally at high-pressure conditions independent of changes in cell morphology. Immunofluorescence microscopy of Lc. lactis cells demonstrated an inhibitory effect of high pressure on the formation of the FtsZ ring and this inhibition of the FtsZ ring formation is suggested to contribute to the altered cell morphology and growth inhibition induced by high pressure.Communicated by K.

Gibberellins A19, A20, and A1 were applied to seedlings of birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) and alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) in order to test their ability to counteract growth inhibition induced by growth retardants (ancymidol and BX-112) or short day (SD, 12 h) photoperiod. Ancymidol inhibits early and BX-112 inhibits late steps in gibberellin biosynthesis. BX-112 inhibited stem elongation in both species while ancymidol, applied as a soil drench, was effective in alder only. Growth retardants affected stem elongation mainly by inhibiting elongation of internodes. All three gibberellins were equally active when applied to seedlings treated with ancymidol; however, only GA1 was able to counteract the growth inhibition induced by BX-112. SD-induced cessation of elongation growth in birch was counteracted by GA1, and to some degree, by GA20, while GA19 was inactive. SD treatment did not induce cessation of apical growth in alder. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that of gibberellins belonging to the early C-13 hydroxylation pathway, GA1 is the only active gibberellin for stem elongation. 相似文献

Specimens of basidiomes and/or rhizomorphs ofArmillaria mellea complex and basidiomes ofRhodophyllus abortivus, developing on the same decaying stumps or stems of forest trees, were collected in three forests in Hokkaido. Normal basidiomes
ofR. abortivus were found near to, but free from, the rhizomorphs and/or basidiomes ofArmillaria, while abnormal basidiomes, as carpophoroid forms, were developed on the rhizomorphs ofArmillaria. Of three mycoparasiticArmillaria isolates found withR. abortivus, one was identified asA. gallica and two asA. jezoensis. The isolates ofR. abortivus showed excellent mycelial growth and rhizomorph formation on PDA. However, on MDA, RMDA and BMDA, they showed poor aerial
mycelia growth and no rhizomorphs. In the contrapositional cultures, the growth ofA. gallica was completely inhibited byR. abortivus on PDA but only slightly inhibited on MDA and RMDA. On the other hand, mutual inhibition at a distance was observed on BMDA.
The mycelial growth and rhizomorph formation inA. jezoensis were severely inhibited by the colony ofR. abortivus on PDA, but only slightly inhibited on MDA. On RMDA and BMDA, the colonies of twoArmillaria species andR. abortivus showed mutual inhibition at a distance and apparent rhizomorph formation by bothArmillaria species. 相似文献

Although the treatments for overcoming the high pH and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) of bauxite residue are well known,
there is little information on long-term nutrient management of vegetation after rehabilitation. The present study examined
the chemical and physical amendment of fine fraction residue (red mud) at the Aughinish Alumina Ltd. Bayer Plant, Ireland
followed by a two-year field investigation. Gypsum and sewage sludge were incorporated into the residue and amended mud sown
with Lolium perenne and Holcus lanatus. Aerial portions were harvested and nutrient composition determined annually for the first two years growth. Amended substrate
was low in manganese and magnesium. After year one herbage contained adequate calcium levels, but there were deficiencies
for nitrogen, manganese, potassium and magnesium. Sodium levels were not considered excessive and levels declined further
in year two. Levels for nitrogen, calcium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium were also reduced in the second
year. As levels were already deficient in year one the further decreases suggest severe nutrient shortage in the residue substrate.
For long-term success of revegetation of bauxite residue, even after gypsum and organic amendment, the deficiencies of nutrients
in the substrate must be overcome. 相似文献

We evaluated the potential of chitosan both to stimulate plant development and to induce protection from Botrytis cinerea in Vitis vinifera L. plantlets. The presence of 1.75% (v/v) chitogel in the culture medium was the optimal concentration for in vitro grapevine plantlet growth, as determined by measurements on enhancement of root and shoot biomass. Photosynthesis and related parameters were also stimulated in chitogel-treated plantlets. Chitogel reduced the development of Botrytis cinerea and induced cytological alterations to the pathogen. When challenged with the fungus, a significant decrease in disease incidence was observed in plants growing on medium supplemented with chitogel. Furthermore, exogenous foliar applications of chitogel to plantlets growing on chitogel-free medium sensitized them so as to be protected against Botrytis cinerea attack. Our results indicate that chitogel can be used in the vineyard as a means to attain protection against Botrytis cinerea and that its application may counteract the wide use of chemical pesticides.Communicated by S.

近年来,尽管西瓜产业不断发展壮大,但轮作土壤种植西瓜易产生枯萎病害导致世界范围内的西瓜严重减产。通过对峙培养实验和抑菌实验探讨了重阳木内生真菌司氏角担子菌(Ceratobasidum stevensii)B6菌株对西瓜枯萎病病原菌尖孢镰刀菌西瓜专化型(Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.Niveum,FON)的拮抗作用,并初步分析了其作用机制。平板拮抗试验的结果表明,内生真菌B6生长过程中不是通过产生抑菌带来抑制FON菌丝,而是利用自身的生长优势将FON完全覆盖。显微观察B6与FON菌丝的接触部位,发现FON菌丝外侧附着B6顶端菌丝形成的胞样结构,表明FON菌丝生长仅受到B6菌丝的抑制。抑菌试验结果显示,B6产生的挥发性物质可以抑制FON的生长和产孢,并使其菌丝分枝明显减少;B6的发酵液对FON的生长和产孢没有抑制作用。因此,推测B6主要通过释放某些挥发性物质产生拮抗作用而抑制FON的生长。 相似文献

Excised wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Maris Freeman) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. Maris Mink) embryos were grown on medium containing both nitrate and ammonium ions. Addition of lysine (1 mM) plus threonine (1 mM) caused a synergistic inhibition of growth measured by length of first leaf or dry weight. The inhibition was specifically relieved by methionine, homocysteine and homoserine. Threonine at 0.2–0.3 mM caused half-maximal inhibition of growth at all lysine concentrations whereas lysine increased the synergistic inhibition up to 3 mM. The inhibition is explained by a model in which lysine acts as a feedback inhibitor of aspartate kinase and threonine of homoserine dehydrogenase. This is compatible with published studies of the enzymes involved. The implications of these findings for using lysine plus threonine as a selection system for lysine-overproducing cereals are discussed.Abbreviations Lys

Fed-batch culture is the mode of operation of choice in industrial baker’s yeast fermentation. The particular mode of culture,
operated at stable glucose and maltose concentration levels, was employed in this work in order to estimate important kinetic
parameters in a process mostly described in the literature as batch or continuous culture. This way, the effects of a continuously
falling sugar level during a batch process were avoided and therefore the effects of various (stable) sugar levels on growth
kinetics were evaluated. Comparing the kinetics of growth and the inhibition by the substrate in cultures grown on glucose,
which is the preferential sugar source for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and maltose, the most common sugar source in industrial media for baker’s yeast production, a milder inhibition effect by
the substrate in maltose-grown cells was observed, as well as a higher yield coefficient. The observed sugar inhibition effect
in glucostat cultures was taken into account in modeling substrate inhibition kinetics. The inhibition coefficient K
i increased with increasing sugar concentration levels, but it appeared to be unaffected by the type of substrate and almost
equal for both substrates at elevated concentration levels. 相似文献

The allelopathic potential of alfalfa root medicagenic acid glycosides and their fate in soil environments 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Summary The allelopathic effect of alfalfa (Medicago media Pers.) and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) root saponins on winter wheat seedling growth and the fate of these chemicals in soil environments were studied. Seed
germination, seedling and test fungus growth were suppressed by water and by alcohol extracts of alfalfa roots, and by crude
saponins of alfalfa roots, indicating that medicagenic acid glycosides are the inhibitor. Powdered alfalfa roots inhibited
wheat seedling growth when added to sand. At concentrations as low as 0.25% (w/w) the root system was completely destroyed
whereas seedling shoots suffered little damage. Red clover roots caused some wheat growth inhibition when incorporated to
sand, but their effect was much lower than in the alfalfa root treatment.
Soil textures had a significant influence on the inhibitory effect of alfalfa roots. The inhibition of seedling growth was
more pronounced on light than on heavy soils. This was attribted to the higher sorption of inhibitors by heavy soils.
Incubation of alfalfa roots mixed into loose sand, coarse sand, loamy sand and clay loam for a period of 0–8 days resulted
in decreased toxicity to bothT. viride and wheat seedlings. This decrease occurred more quickly in heavier soils than in loose sand, due to the hydrolysis of glycosides
by soil microorganisms. Soil microbes were capable of detoxifying medicagenic acid glycosides by partial hydrolysis of sugar
chain to aglycone.
These findings illustrate the importance of medicagenic acid glycosides as an inhibitor of wheat seedling growth, and of their
fate in different soil environments. 相似文献

Summary Root-colonizing pseudomonads capable of inhibiting seedling winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root growth in an agar seedling bioassay also significantly inhibited wheat root growth in vermiculite; however, the inhibitory trait is quite labile in laboratory culturing. The extent of inhibition in both the agar and vermiculite medium depended on inoculum level. These pseudomonads were found to produce a toxin capable of inhibiting growth ofEscherichia coli C-la andBacillus subtilis. Field isolates that strongly inhibit growth of indicator bacteria also inhibited root growth. Toxin production by the bacteria appeared necessary for inhibition of root growth and indicator bacteria as toxin-negative (TOX–) mutants no longer inhibited either. Antibiosis towardsE. coli as well as wheat seedling root inhibition in agar was reversed by L-methionine, providing further evidence that a toxin, produced by these organisms, is involved in growth retardation.Contribution in cooperation with the College of Agric.

Autohydrogenotrophic batch growth of Ralstonia eutropha H16 was studied in a stirred-tank reactor with nitrate and nitrite as terminal electron acceptors and the sole limiting substrates.
Assuming product inhibition by nitrite, saturation kinetics with the two limiting substrates and a simple switching function,
which allows growth on nitrite only at low nitrate concentrations, resulted in a kinetic growth model with nine model parameters.
The data of two batch experiments were used to identify the kinetic model. The kinetic model was validated with two additional
batch experiments. The model predictions are in very good agreement with the experimental data. The maximum nitrite concentration
was estimated to be 30.7 mM (total inhibition of growth). After complete reduction of nitrate, the growth rate decreases almost
to zero before it increases again because of the following nitrite respiration. The maximum autohydrogenotrophic growth rate
of Ralstonia eutropha with nitrate as a final electron acceptor (0.509 d−1) was found to be reduced by 90–95% compared to the so far reported autohydrogenotrophic growth rates with oxygen. 相似文献

The nitrogenase activity ofAzospirillum spp. is efficiently regulated by environmental factors. InA. brasilense andA. lipoferum a rapid switch off of nitrogenase activity occurs after the addition of ammonium chloride. As in photosynthetic bacteria, a covalent modification of nitrogenase reductase (Fe-protein) is involved. InA. amazonense, a non-covalent mechanism causes only a partial inhibition of nitrogenase activity after ammonium chloride is added. In anaerobic conditions, nitrogenase reductase is also switched off by a covalent modification inA. brasilense andA. lipoferum. Short-time exposure ofAzospirillum to increased oxygen levels causes a partially reversible inhibition of nitrogenase activity, but no covalent modification is involved.Azospirillum spp. show variations in their oxygen tolerance. High levels of carotenoids confer a slightly improved oxygen tolerance. Certain amino acids (e. g. glutamate, aspartate, histidine and serine) affect growth and nitrogen fixation differently inAzospirillum spp. Amino acids may influence growth and nitrogen fixation ofAzospirillum in the association with plants.Azospirillum brasilense andA. halopraeferens are the more osmotolerant species. They utilize most amino acids poorly and accumulate glycine betaine, which also occurs in osmotically stressed grasses as a compatible solute to counteract osmotic stress. Nitrogen fixation is stimulated by glycine betaine and choline. Efficient iron acquisition is a prerequisite for competitive and aerotoleran growth and for high nitrogenase activity.Azospirillum halopraeferens andA. amazonense assimilate iron reasonably well, whereas growth of someA. brasilense andA. lipoferum strains is severely inhibited by iron limitation and by competition with foreign microbial iron chelators. However, growth of certain iron-limitedA. brasilense strains is stimulated by the phytosiderophore mugineic acid. Thus, various plant-derived substances may stimulate growth and nitrogen fixation ofAzospirillum. 相似文献

Acetylene reduction was observed with ferrousiron-oxidizingThiobacillus ferrooxidans, as expected from previous studies with this bacterium. Acetylene reduction was also found during the growth ofT. ferrooxidans on tetrathionate. OnlyLeptospirillum ferrooxidans, one of several other phylogenetically diverse, ferrous-iron-and/or sulfur-oxidizing acidophilic microorganisms, also reduced
acetylene. A reduction of the oxygen concentration in the culture atmosphere was necessary to alleviate inhibition of nitrogenase
activity. DNA sequences homologous tonif structural genes were found in both organisms. Diazotrophic growth ofL. ferrooxidans was inferred from an increase in iron oxidation in ammonium-free medium when the oxygen concentration was limited and from
apparent inhibition by acetylene under these conditions. 相似文献
