Abstract A multidisciplinary field study investigating the fate and transport of petroleum hydrocarbons commonly associated with jet-fuel contamination is currently underway at Columbus Air Force Base (AFB), Mississippi. Sixty sediment cores from 12 boreholes were recovered from the study aquifer. The goal of this initial sampling was to characterize the potential microbial activity using 14C-labeled substrates, as well as the presence, abundance, and distribution of specific hydrocarbon degrading genotypes using DNA:DNA hybridization. Enumeration of total microbial abundance using a 16S rDNA universal oligonucleotide probe was compared to traditional enumeration methods. Total culturable populations determined by spread plate analysis ranged from a low of 10(4) to more than 10(6) organisms per gram sediment. Microbial abundance estimated by DNA hybridization studies with 16S rDNA genes ranged from 10(7) to 10(8) organisms per gram sediment. Molecular analysis of aquifer samples using DNA probes targeting genes encoding the degradative enzymes alkane hydroxylase (alkB), catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (nahH), naphthalene dioxygenase (nahA), toluene dioxygenase (todC1C2), toluene monooxygenase (tomA), and xylene monooxygenase (xylA), as well as two probes measuring methanogenic microorganisms, codh (carbon monoxide dehydrogenase) and mcr (methyl coenzyme reductase), revealed that each target gene sequence was present in nearly all 60 samples. The presence of organisms demonstrating the phenotype to degrade BTEX and naphthalene was further supported using mineralization assays with 14C-labeled benzene, toluene, naphthalene, and phenanthrene. Minimal activity occurred during the first 24 hours. After a period of 5-7 days, greater than 40% of the target compounds were mineralized in aquifer sediments. 相似文献

The acidic glycolipid fraction (AF) of the porcine, parasitic nematode,
Ascaris suum , consisted of two subfractions. The major component AF II
reacted with orcinol-sulfuric acid and molybdate, while the minor component
AF I gave a positive reaction with azure-A, a cationic dye specific for
sulfatides. Sugar constituent analysis, methanolysis, methylation analysis,
matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time- of-flight mass
spectrometry, liquid secondary-ion mass spectrometry, and gas-liquid
chromatography/mass spectrometry specified AF II to be an unusual
phosphoinositolglycosphingolipid (Galalpha1-Ins-P-1ceramide) and the minor
component AF I to be a 3-sulfogalactosylcerebroside (HSO3-
3Galss1-1ceramide). The ceramide moiety of both components consisted of
lignoceric (C24:0) and cerebronic (C24h:0) acids and mainly C17 iso-
branched sphingosine. Immunohistochemical localization studies of the
glycolipid-bound antigenic determinants with a polyclonal antiserum against
AF II and an anti-sulfatide monoclonal antibody against AF I revealed the
presence of the AF II-epitope in the intestine, whereas the AF I-epitope
was found in the hypodermis, contractile zone of somatic muscle cells and
the external musculature of the uterus. To our knowledge, this is the first
report of the presence of a sulfatide in an invertebrate.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Iris yellow spot virus Isolates from Onion (Allium cepa) in Georgia (USA) and Peru 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
C. Nischwitz H. R. Pappu S. W. Mullis A. N. Sparks D. R. Langston A. S. Csinos R. D. Gitaitis 《Journal of Phytopathology》2007,155(9):531-535
Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) was first observed in sweet onions in Georgia (USA) in 2003 in the Vidalia region. The virus had been reported in the onion‐growing regions in western USA several years before being detected in Georgia in the east. Although symptoms were observed on onions in Peru several years earlier, the presence of IYSV was not confirmed in Peru until after the virus was detected in Georgia. We characterized nine isolates of IYSV recovered from sweet onions in both Georgia (four isolates) and Peru (five isolates) by sequencing the nucleocapsid (N) gene and compared those sequences with sequences available in GenBank. Sequence divergence between IYSV isolates from Georgia and Peru was low with 1.1%, and comparisons with IYSV isolates from other regions showed divergence of up to 11.4%. Bootstrap analysis indicated with a high degree of confidence that the Georgia and Peruvian isolates fell into the same clade and were different from known isolates from western USA that fell into sister clades. The high degree of similarity between Georgia and Peruvian isolates suggests that gene flow occurred from Peru into Georgia. 相似文献

This study aimed to compare the effects of different velocities of eccentric muscle actions on acute blood lactate and serum growth hormone (GH) concentrations following free weight bench press exercises performed by resistance-trained men. Sixteen healthy men were divided into two groups: slow eccentric velocity (SEV; n = 8) and fast eccentric velocity (FEV; n = 8). Both groups performed four sets of eight eccentric repetitions at an intensity of 70% of their one repetition maximum eccentric (1RMecc) test, with 2-minute rest intervals between sets. The eccentric velocity was controlled to 3 seconds per range of motion for SEV and 0.5 seconds for the FEV group. There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the kinetics of blood lactate removal (at 3, 6, 9, 15, and 20 min) and higher mean values for peak blood lactate (P = 0.001) for the SEV group (9.1 ± 0.5 mM) compared to the FEV group (6.1 ± 0.4 mM). Additionally, serum GH concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.001) at 15 minutes after bench press exercise in the SEV group (1.7 ± 0.6 ng · mL−1) relative to the FEV group (0.1 ± 0.0 ng · mL−1). In conclusion, the velocity of eccentric muscle action influences acute responses following bench press exercises performed by resistance-trained men using a slow velocity resulting in a greater metabolic stress and hormone response. 相似文献

Pecan scab, caused by the fungus Fusicladium effusum, is the most devastating disease of pecan (Carya illinoinensis) trees and is responsible for the majority of disease management efforts applied to that crop. The taxonomy of the fungus
changed several times in the last decade and most recently, using ITS nrDNA data and conventional taxonomic methods, the organism
was renamed F. effusum. In our study, a conserved region of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene was sequenced from three isolates of F. effusum. The obtained sequences showed 95% nucleic acid and 100% amino acid homology (201–266 amino acids on exon 5 of the cytochrome
b gene) with Venturia inaequalis (NCBI GenBank accession number AF047029). And in the maximum parsimony tree based on nucleotide sequences, F. effusum and V. inaequalis were clustered, with a 92% bootstrap value. The taxonomic classification of the pecan scab fungus was supported based on
the cytochrome b region. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and characterization of an alpha1,3 fucosyltransferase, CEFT-1, from Caenorhabditis elegans 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
We report on the identification, molecular cloning, and characterization of
an alpha1,3 fucosyltransferase (alpha1,3FT) expressed by the nematode,
Caenorhabditis elegans . Although C. elegans glycoconjugates do not express
the Lewis x antigen Galbeta1-- >4[Fucalpha1-->3]GlcNAcbeta-->R,
detergent extracts of adult C.elegans contain an alpha1,3FT that can
fucosylate both nonsialylated and sialylated acceptor glycans to generate
the Lexand sialyl Lexantigens, as well as the lacdiNAc-containing acceptor
GalNAcbeta1-->4GlcNAcbeta1-- >R to generate GalNAcbeta1-->4
[Fucalpha1-->3]GlcNAcbeta1-->R. A search of the C.elegans genome
database revealed the existence of a gene with 20-23% overall identity to
all five cloned human alpha1,3FTs. The putative cDNA for the C.elegans
alpha1,3FT (CEFT-1) was amplified by PCR from a cDNA lambdaZAP library,
cloned, and sequenced. COS7 cells transiently transfected with cDNA
encoding CEFT-1 express the Lex, but not sLexantigen. The CEFT-1 in the
transfected cell extracts can synthesize Lex, but not sialyl Lex, using
exogenous acceptors. A second fucosyltransferase activity was detected in
extracts of C. elegans that transfers Fuc in alpha1,2 linkage to Gal
specifically on type-1 chains. The discovery of alpha-fucosyltransferases
in C. elegans opens the possibility of using this well-characterized
nematode as a model system for studying the role of fucosylated glycans in
the development and survival of C.elegans and possibly other helminths.

Surveys by the RCPA PITUS Project have shown significant variations in report rendering between Australasian Pathology Providers. The same project collected anecdotal evidence that this variation has led to the misunderstanding and misreading of results - a clinical safety issue. Recommendations are given for the rendering of reference limits on pathology reports, determination and rendering of result flags, and the documentation of sub-population partitions for reference intervals. These recommendations apply equally for paper or electronic reporting, but should not limit the use of novel techniques within electronic reports to convey additional meaning. PITUS Working Group 4 will publish draft recommendations for peer review and comment in relation to the above in the second half of 2014. 相似文献
