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     

过量硼对猕猴桃产量和采后贮藏的影响

在新西兰,美味猕猴桃(Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa)植株普遍存在营养失调问题,而缺钾最为广泛。但对主产区进行广泛调查表明,有极为大量的植株受过量硼的影响。大多数情况下,硼过量发病率高与灌溉含硼量高的水或施用过量硼(通常,每公顷施2公斤以上硼)有关。 近年来,猕猴桃在商品性生产上颇获成功,但有关其栽培技术要求,尤其是营养失调对产量和釆后贮藏的影响了解甚少。本研究旨在检测过量硼对商品性果园猕猴桃植株生长的影响。 试验设在新西兰北岛Edgecumbe附近的果园。土壤为新冲积土,粉砂壤土。株冠     

青霉素及头孢霉素的生物合成(续)

三、生物合成的机制及反应的专一性 1、假设的中间体虽然青霉素及头孢菌素的环系形成机制还没有最后确定,但排除过几个假设机制,用~3H-标记的缬氨酸证明LLD-ACV中的D-缬氨酸残基,由L-缬氨酸转变而成,LLD-ACV环合成异青霉素N时,没有游离的含α,β-脱氢缬氨酸的中间体。同样,环合成β-内酰胺环时也不包含α,β-脱氢半胱氨酸残基。于青霉素及头孢菌素生物合成时,除了含上述脱氢缬氨酸及脱氢半胱氨酸残基外,还提出过几个游离中间体,曾经假定LLD-ACV的缬氨酸残基氧化成D-β-羟     

当今的盘菌系统学:概述子囊菌亚门中一个单囊壁类群的某些悬而未决的问题

将盘菌纲系统学研究继续下去的两个优先考虑的问题是:必须将传统的α-分类方法与广泛的标本采集工作相结合,尤其是在世界上很少采集的地区;同时,研究盘菌和地衣化子囊菌之间的相互关系,并注意各个目与科之间的可能联系。新白水盘菌(Leucovibrissea)是从组的等级上升为属的,它与另外两个属共同组成了锤舌菌目的新科水盘菌科(Vibrisseaceae)。本文还讨论了某些类群的系统学研究现状,并提出了一些目前没有答案但看来是基础的生物学问题。     

Gravitropism of maize and rice coleoptiles: dependence on the stimulation angle

Gravitropism of maize and rice coleoptiles was investigated with respect to its dependence on the angle of displacement or the initial stimulation angle (ISA). Close examination of curvature kinetics and the response to a drop in stimulation angle (SA) indicated that the gravtropic response during an early but substantial part of the curvature development is directly related to the ISA, there being no effect of the reduction of SA resulting from the curvature response itself. On the basis of this finding, the relationship between the steady SA and the curvature rate was determined. In maize, the curvature rate increased linearly with the sines of SAs up to an SA of 90 degrees. Rice coleoptiles, however, showed a saturation curve in the same range of SAs. The saturation profile was nearly identical between coleoptiles grown in air and those submerged in water, although the latter elongated much faster. Rice coleoptiles appeared to be far more sensitive to gravity than maize coleoptiles. It is concluded that the sensitivity to gravity, assessed through dependence on ISA, is a property inherent to a given gravitropic organ. Long-term measurements of curvature indicated that the coleoptiles bend back past the vertical. This overshooting was marked in submerged rice coleoptiles.     

Binding of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1 Toxins to the Midgut Brush Border Membrane Vesicles of Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): Evidence of Shared Binding Sites

Binding and competition among Cry1Aa, Cry1Ac, and Cry1Ba toxins were analyzed quantitatively in vitro by using (sup125)I-labeled activated toxins and brush border membrane vesicles isolated from Chilo suppressalis larval midguts. The three toxins bound specifically to the midgut brush border membrane vesicles. Direct binding experiments showed that Cry1Aa and Cry1Ba recognized a single class of binding sites with different affinities, whereas Cry1Aa recognized two classes of binding sites, one with a high affinity and a low concentration and the other with a lower affinity but higher concentration. Competition experiments showed that toxins Cry1Ac and Cry1Ba shared a binding site in the C. suppressalis midgut membranes and that this site was also the low-affinity binding site for Cry1Aa.     

The BIORACK facility and its performance during the IML-2 Spacelab mission

The configuration and performance of the Biorack facility during the Second International Microgravity Laboratory mission (IML-2; 8-23 July 1995) is described in detail. During this Spacelab mission, Biorack flew with two incubators (22 degrees C and 37 degrees C), glovebox, cooler (5 degrees C) and four passive thermal conditioning units (PTCU; 5 degrees C and 10 degrees C) in the stowage. The crew worked more than 40 h to perform 19 Biorack experiments originating from seven European countries. Almost 200 Biorack experiment containers had to be translocated in about 1500 predetermined steps before the Space Shuttle Columbia returned after nearly 14 days: 18 h or 236 orbits in space to Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
