在对山西庞泉沟自然保护区森林群落进行数量分类的基础上,运用丰富度指数、物种多样性指数和均匀度指数对保护区内森林群落的物种多样性进行了研究,并对森林群落各层片之间的物种多样性进行了相关性分析.结果表明:(1)森林群落15个群丛的丰富度指数、物种多样性指数和均匀度指数能很好地反映各群丛多样性变化规律.(2)各群丛的丰富度指数和物种多样性指数总体上呈现草本层＞灌木层＞乔木层,草本层的均匀度最小,大多数森林群落乔木层和灌木层的均匀度比较接近.(3) Patrick指数、Simpson指数、Shannon指数以及Pielou指数和Alatalo指数之间表现极显著差异性(P＜0.01).(4)群丛3(华北落叶松-土庄绣线菊+美蔷薇-东方草莓群丛)灌木层和草本层之间呈显著负相关(r=-0.643,P＜0.05);群丛8(白桦+山杨-灰栒子+美蔷薇-中亚苔草群丛)乔木层和灌木层呈显著负相关(r=-0.458,P＜0.05),灌木层和草本层则呈显著正相关(r=0.404,P＜0.05);群丛11(白杄-中亚苔草+烟管头草)的乔木层和草本层之间呈显著负相关(r=-0.949,P＜0.05).     

嗜盐菌群对酸性金黄G的脱色特性和机理

【目的】为了获得能够在高盐环境下脱色偶氮染料的嗜盐菌群及其降解机理。【方法】采用富集驯化的方法获得一个嗜盐菌群,采用Illumina HiSeq2500测序平台对其群落结构进行测定;采用分光光度法测定了其降解特性;采用GC-MS和红外图谱分析了其降解机理;采用微核实验的方法比较了偶氮染料降解前后的毒性。【结果】该菌群在10%的盐度下,使100mg/L的酸性金黄G在8h内脱色。菌群主要由Zobellella、Rheinheimera、Exiguobacterium和Marinobacterium组成。最适宜的脱色条件是:pH=6,酵母粉为碳源,蛋白胨或硝酸钾作为氮源,盐度为1%–10%。酸性金黄G降解产物的毒性比降解前降低。酸性金黄G主要的降解产物是对氨基二苯胺和二苯胺。此外,该菌群还能使酸性大红GR和直接湖蓝5B等多种偶氮染料脱色,具有较好的脱色广谱性。【结论】获得了快速降解偶氮染料的嗜盐菌群及降解机理,为该嗜盐菌群应用于高盐印染废水的处理提供菌种资源和理论支持。     

Bioinformatic analysis of BBTV satellite DNA in Hainan

Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV),family Nanaviridae,genus Babuvirus,is a single stranded DNA virus (ssDNA) that causes banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) in banana plants.It is the most common and most destructive of all viruses in these plants and is widespread throughout the Asia-Pacific region.In this study we isolated,cloned and sequenced a BBTV sample from Hainan Island,China.The results from sequencing and bioinformatics analysis indicate this isolate represents a satellite DNA component with 12 DNA sequences motifs.We also predicted the physical and chemical properties,structure,signal peptide,phosphorylation,secondary structure,tertiary structure and functional domains of its encoding protein,and compare them with the corresponding quantities in the replication initiation protein of BBTV DNA1.     

脉冲电场对真皮成纤维细胞生长和膜流动性的影响

采用MTT比色分析法检测脉冲电场(f=50Hz,t=20μs,Epp=1V/m),对真皮成纤维细胞增殖的影响,结果表明,电场作用1分钟和5分钟,均产生促进细胞增殖的效果(P<0.05和P<0.001),而较长时间(t≥10分钟)的电场作用则显著抑制细胞的正常增殖(P<0.001)。 采用荧光偏振法研究了脉冲电场对真皮成纤维细胞膜流动性的影响。结果表明,电场作用5分钟后即刻引起膜流动性的显著增加。而电场作用45分钟后,需经过一段时间的温育(30 分钟),才表现出膜流动性的降低。说明不同作用时间的电场可以造成膜流动性的增加或降低,而且对膜流动性的影响是可逆的。我们认为,脉冲电场所引起的膜流动性改变是细胞分裂能力发生变化的原因之一。     

Growth of Pichia guilliermondii A9, an osmotolerant yeast, in waste brine generated from kimchi production

The possibility of culturing an osmotolerant yeast using waste brine from a kimchi factory as a substrate for the production of single cell protein was investigated. Pichia guilliermondii A9 was selected from 70 isolates of yeast demonstrating substantial growth in the waste brine. The growth of P. guilliermondii A9 in waste brine was not inhibited by NaCl concentrations of up to 10% (w/v). However, it was reduced drastically at concentrations greater than 12% (w/v). Approximately 90% of BOD was removed from the waste brine by culturing of P. guilliermondii A9 for 24 h. The maximum cell yield was 0.69 g of dry cells per liter, containing 40% of protein. When the waste brine was enriched with cabbage juice from waste cabbage, the final cell mass increased proportionally with the amount of added organic material. Salt stressed cells of P. guilliermondii A9 grown in waste brine are shown in scanning electron micrographs. In conclusion, the large amounts of waste brine generated from kimchi production could be used directly for the culture of the osmotolerant yeast P. guilliermondii A9.     

地上部植食者褐飞虱对不同水稻品种土壤线虫群落的影响

地上和地下部生物群落的交互作用对于调控陆地生态过程具有重要作用。在盆栽条件下利用2×2析因设计研究了褐飞虱(Nilaparvata lugens)取食不同水稻品种后对土壤线虫群落的影响。结果表明, 褐飞虱侵害水稻9 d后, 感虫品种(广四和汕优63)的土壤线虫总数、属数及自生线虫(食细菌线虫、食真菌线虫和捕食性线虫)数量增加, 并且一般达到显著水平(P<0.05); 而上述指标在抗虫品种(汕优559和IR36)土壤中则呈现相反的趋势。植食性线虫数量在强感虫品种广四上显著增加(P<0.05), 而在强抗虫品种IR36上显著减少(P<0.05)。褐飞虱和水稻品种对土壤线虫的生态指数(线虫通道指数、Shannon-Wiener指数、成熟度指数、富集指数和结构指数)没有明显影响, 可能与供试土壤线虫群落组成单一及褐飞虱作用时间较短有关。总之, 褐飞虱强烈影响土壤线虫数量、群落组成和营养结构, 并且作用的方向(促进或抑制)和程度依赖于水稻的品种特性, 揭示出地上部植食者的短期侵害将对稻田土壤生态系统的结构和功能产生深远影响。     

Human umbilical cord-derived MSC culture: the replacement of animal sera with human cord blood plasma

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) hold great potential for their therapeutic use in various clinical diseases. Many publications have reported on human blood-derived alternatives to animal serum for culturing mesenchymal stem cells, such as human serum, allogenic umbilical cord blood serum, and human platelet derivatives. However, it is not clear whether human umbilical cord blood plasma (UCBP), as the surplusage of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell extraction, could be used. In this study, in order to make the best of umbilical cord blood, the human UCBP was dialyzed to replace fetal bovine serum (FBS) in the culture medium. hUC-MSCs were cultured in the new medium. Cell growth rate, specific biomarkers, and differentiation properties were detected to characterize the cell proliferation and MSC-specific properties. The hUC-MSCs cultured in such derived medium were verified with proliferation rate, cluster differentiation markers, cell cycle, as well as differentiation capabilities. Such dialyzed human UCBP is fully comparable with, if not superior to, FBS in deriving and culturing hUC-MSCs.     

脓肿分枝杆菌经Toll样受体2介导的JNK/ERK信号通路诱导巨噬细胞表达肿瘤坏死因子α和白细胞介素8

为探讨脓肿分枝杆菌脓肿亚种和马赛亚种经Toll样受体2(Toll-like receptor 2,TLR2)介导的c-Jun氨基末端激酶(c-Jun N-terminal kinase,JNK)和细胞外信号调节激酶(extracellular signal-regulated kinase,ERK)诱导THP-1巨噬细胞内肿瘤坏死因子α(tumor necrosis factor α,TNF-α)和白细胞介素8(interleukin 8,IL-8)表达的相关分子机制,本研究将脓肿分枝杆菌脓肿亚种和马赛亚种感染THP-1巨噬细胞,细菌与巨噬细胞最佳感染之比为感染复数(multiplicity of infection,MOI)＝3,用荧光定量聚合酶链反应(polymerase chain reaction,PCR)检测THP-1巨噬细胞感染两细菌亚种6 h后的胞内TNF-α和IL-8 mRNA水平,以及分别阻断TLR2、JNK 和ERK信号蛋白后TNF-α和IL-8 mRNA水平的变化。结果显示,脓肿分枝杆菌脓肿亚种和马赛亚种作用于THP-1巨噬细胞6 h后,均可诱导细胞内TNF-α和IL-8 mRNA水平显著上调,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05);分别阻断TLR2、JNK和ERK信号蛋白,脓肿亚种感染THP-1巨噬细胞后胞内TNF-α和IL-8 mRNA上调水平出现明显抑制,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05);分别阻断TLR2和JNK信号蛋白,马赛亚种感染THP-1巨噬细胞后胞内TNF-α和IL-8 mRNA上调水平均出现明显抑制,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05);而阻断ERK信号蛋白后,马赛亚种组仅见IL-8 mRNA水平明显抑制,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05),而TNF-α mRNA水平未见明显变化,差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05)。本研究提示,脓肿分枝杆菌脓肿亚种和马赛亚种均可作用于TLR2,诱导THP-1细胞内TNF-α和IL-8 mRNA水平上调,脓肿亚种可经JNK和ERK信号蛋白诱导TNF-α mRNA上调,马赛亚种可经JNK信号蛋白诱导TNF-α mRNA上调;脓肿亚种和马赛亚种诱导IL-8 mRNA上调可能与JNK和ERK信号蛋白相关。
