裂殖壶菌高产油突变体的高通量筛选

二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)具有促进婴幼儿大脑和视网膜发育等多种生理功能,被广泛应用于食品、医药和养殖等行业。为了获得适合于工业化生产的高产油、高产DHA的裂殖壶菌工程株,文中建立了一套操作简单、快速准确的基于尼罗红染色的高通量筛选方案。首先利用紫外线(UVC)诱变的方式快速构建裂殖壶菌的随机突变体库。然后采用优化后的筛选条件如裂殖壶菌的最佳尼罗红染色条件(二甲基亚砜浓度为20%,尼罗红终浓度为2.0μg/mL,孵育时间为10 min,孵育温度为40℃)和更合理的筛选依据(多功能酶标仪实现高通量测量的单位细胞密度油脂量)等,对3 648株突变体进行筛选,得到了3株高产油突变体(D03432、D05106和D01521)。摇瓶发酵实验表明,这3株突变体在生物量、油脂含量和DHA产量上均高于野生型菌株,其中突变体D03432和D05106的油脂量分别达到了干重的64.74%和63.13%,远高于野生型菌株的43.19%。而且这两株突变体的DHA产量分别是野生型菌株的2.26倍和2.37倍。最后,对突变体D03432和D05106进行了5 L发酵罐发酵培养,相较于野生型菌株,这两株突变体不仅生物量和油脂含量有所增加,而且DHA产量更是分别增加了45.5 1%和66.46%,展现出较好的工业应用潜力。此外,本筛选方案对其他产油微生物高产油突变体的高通量筛选具有借鉴作用。

荧光标记香菇原生质体融合菌株的鉴定

一株具有工业化生产DHA前景的破囊壶菌

多不饱和脂肪酸是保持人体健康不可缺少的营养成分之一,尤其是二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)作为细胞膜磷脂的重要组分,具有非常重要的医药应用和营养价值。目前,在食品工业中,DHA已经添加至牛奶或奶粉中,用作功能性营养强化剂。20世纪80年代,DHA的唯一来源是鱼油,但鱼油的腥味、重金属污染等问题,促使人们探索生产DHA的其他途径如微生物发酵。诱变和筛选是微生物选育过程中比较重要的手段,可以快速使菌株朝着人类所需要的方向突变。UV诱变和化学药物胁迫筛选是使野生株定向突变的一种很好的办法。目前国内外研究主要针对裂殖壶菌属菌株进行诱变育种,许永利[1]用紫外线诱变和喹禾灵筛选方法对裂殖壶菌(Schizochytrium limacinu)进行诱变选育,突变菌株生物量和DHA含量比对照菌株均有提高。吴克刚等[2]利用添加植物激素对Thraustochytriu roseum MF2进行培育诱变,从而获得更高的DHA量,但在脂质含量和DHA在脂质占比率上都不存在明显变化。本期介绍梁园梅、成家杨等[3]发表的论文《高产DHA破囊壶菌Aurantiochytrium sp.PKU#SW7诱变株的筛选》,作者采用紫外线和药物双重诱变胁迫破囊壶菌获得一株突变株,其在生物量、脂质含量和DHA在脂质占比率上都有显著性提高,相比前人的研究,作者获得的突变株有显著优越性,且突变株DHA生产能力传代4次后仍然保持稳定,具有较高的工业价值。在后续的研究中作者若能对筛选条件、培养基(如利用廉价碳源)和培养条件等方面实行进一步优化,提高突变株生物量,降低突变株发酵生产DHA生产成本,将能获得更高的商业价值。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
