苏芸金杆菌浓缩液的保存和不用二甲苯的防腐剂配方

在苏芸金杆菌浓缩商品制剂中,通常含有3—4％的二甲苯以防止芽孢的萌发。除此以外,二甲苯还能防止各种腐生微生物污染,尤其是肠杆菌和真菌。最近,一种用苏芸金杆菌血清型H3a3b制备的称为Futufa的超浓缩液已经问世,其中不含二甲苯,用于防治枞色卷蛾(属鳞     

用棉籽饼代替花生饼做幼猪蛋白饲料

导言与花生饼相比,棉子饼的总氮含量略低一些,但其蛋白质中的几种主要的必需氨基酸如赖氨酸、蛋氨酸和胱氨酸含量却很高。对于非反刍动物来说,棉子饼应当是理想的蛋白饲料。然而,由于棉子饼中含有棉酚,这是一种有毒的天然多酚物质,因而妨障了它在猪、家禽和兔子饲料中的随意使用。其中,猪对棉酚的毒性尤为敏感。猪食用棉子饼后会导致厌食、呼吸困难、体虚消瘦等症状。人们一直在寻找根除或减少棉饼用于非反刍动物饲料中所导致的棉酚中毒现象,他们分别用不同量的蛋白质、不同质量的蛋白质、含铁添加剂,以及用含微量棉酚的无腺棉子饼等做饲料进行试验,取得了不同程度的进展。在尼日利亚,尽管棉子饼产量很高,由于缺乏信息,故未对其用于猪饲料予以注意。本研究报告确立了棉子饼与花生饼相比,用于断奶后幼猪饲料中的有关参数。     

用三种不同方法生产的BT(库斯塔克变种)制剂及其对家蚕的毒力

一前言在微生物杀虫剂中,苏芸金杆菌是最成功的商品制剂。活孢子和足量的σ-內毒素是该产品主要的毒素成分。众所周知,产品的毒力是根据菌株(不同菌株及同一菌株的不同株系)、培养基和生长条件的不同而异(Dulmage and Rhodes,1971)。但是,使用相同菌株在体外和体内条件下的培养物所进行的毒性比较尚未见报道。最近,我们用苏芸金杆菌(简称

Chemiluminescence of enterococci isolates from freshwater

All Enterococcus spp., isolated from environmental water samples (n=81), emitted a high chemiluminescence signal in the presence of luminol (10(-2) M). Kinetic studies of chemiluminescence show a close correlation between chemiluminescence and growth curves during the exponential phase, with a maximum chemiluminescence reached just before bacterial growth entered in the stationary phase. On the other hand, genera closely related to Enterococcus such as Streptococcus or Lactococcus produced a very weak chemiluminescent signal. Chemiluminescence of enterococci could therefore offer a rapid test, in aiding the identification of the genus Enterococcus and in the survey of the microbiological quality of water supplies.     

The role of monocyte/macrophages as vehicles of dissemination of Simkania negevensis: an in vitro simulation model

Exposure to Simkania negevensis (Sn), an intracellular microorganism that has been associated with respiratory tract infections in infants and adults, is prevalent. Sn can multiply within free-living amoebae and has been detected in domestic water supplies, which may constitute a source of infection with the organism. Its path of transport from its portal of entry to the body to its target organs is unknown. In this study, the possibility that monocytes/macrophages may serve as vehicles of transmission was examined. In vitro cocultivation of Sn-infected Acanthamoeba polyphaga with the monocyte/macrophage cell line U937 resulted in the death of the amoebae and infection of the U937 cells. Sn entered and multiplied in U937 cells within short periods of time, and the microorganism could be transferred from U937 cells to cell cultures of various origins. Uninfected monocyte/macrophages could become infected when in contact with either actively or persistently Sn-infected cell cultures. Persistently infected cultures in contact with uninfected U937 cells became actively infected. The results of this study provide a basis for determination of the molecular mechanisms of monocyte/macrophage-cell interactions in transfer of infection and may contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of Sn infections in vivo.
