There is ample evidence that continuously existing forests and afforestations on previously agricultural land differ with regard to ecosystem functions and services such as carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling and biodiversity. However, no studies have so far been conducted on possible long-term (>100 years) impacts on tree growth caused by differences in the ecological continuity of forest stands. In the present study we analysed the variation in tree-ring width of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) trees (mean age 115–136 years) due to different land-use histories (continuously existing forests, afforestations both on arable land and on heathland). We also analysed the relation of growth patterns to soil nutrient stores and to climatic parameters (temperature, precipitation). Tree rings formed between 1896 and 2005 were widest in trees afforested on arable land. This can be attributed to higher nitrogen and phosphorous availability and indicates that former fertilisation may continue to affect the nutritional status of forest soils for more than one century after those activities have ceased. Moreover, these trees responded more strongly to environmental changes – as shown by a higher mean sensitivity of the tree-ring widths – than trees of continuously existing forests. However, the impact of climatic parameters on the variability in tree-ring width was generally small, but trees on former arable land showed the highest susceptibility to annually changing climatic conditions. We assume that incompletely developed humus horizons as well as differences in the edaphon are responsible for the more sensitive response of oak trees of recent forests (former arable land and former heathland) to variation in environmental conditions. We conclude that forests characterised by a long ecological continuity may be better adapted to global change than recent forest ecosystems. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung 1. Eine neue Methode wird beschrieben, die es gestattet, die Anzahlen ölabbauender Bakterien in mit Wasser nicht mischbaren Substanzen wie verölte Sedimente, verölter Boden, verharzte Altöle, Rohöle, Schmieröle und Öl-Wassergemische quantitativ zu erfassen.2. Die Ölproben werden in sterilem Meerwasser mit einem mechanischen Hochfrequenzgenerator Ultra Turrax der Type TP 18/2 (30 Sekunden Laufzeit) nach Zufügung eines für Bakterien nicht toxischen Emulgators sowie eines Entschäumers aufgeteilt.3. Die zu untersuchende Emulsion wird nach dem Zehntelungsverfahren unter Verwendung sterilen Meerwassers verdünnt.4. Jeweils mehrere Testfläschchen werden aus jeder Verdünnungsstufe beimpft, die als Nährboden mit anorganischen Stickstoff- und Phosphatsalzen supplementiertes, gealtertes Meerwasser und Öl als einzige Kohlenstoffquelle enthalten.5. Die Bebrütung dauert 3 Wochen (bei 18° C). Dann wird mit Salzsäure angesäuert, um anorganische Niederschläge aufzulösen. Die bakterielle Trübung wird ermittelt, und die dazugehörigen Bakterienzahlen werden aus den Tabellen der MPN-Methode (Most-probable-number-Verfahren) entnommen.
On the method of quantitative determination of oil decomposing bacteria in oil polluted sediments and soils, oil—water mixtures, oils and tarry substances
A method is demonstrated which makes it possible to determine the numbers of oil decomposing bacteria in substances normally unmixable with water such as oil, oil polluted soils and sediments, waxes, and tarry substances. It involves the application of a high speed homogenizer (ultra turrax), an emulsifier (non-toxic to bacteria), and a defoaming agent. After forming a fairly stable emulsion, serial dilutions with steril seawater are performed and bacterial numbers determined using the MPN (most-probable-number) technique.相似文献

The novel centrosomal associated protein CEP55 is present in the spindle midzone and the midbody 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Centrosomes are the major microtubule nucleating center in the cell; they also contribute to spindle pole organization and play a role in cell cycle progression as well as completing cytokinesis. Here we describe the molecular characterization of a novel human gene, CEP55, located in 10q23.33 that is expressed in multiple tissues and various cancer cell lines. Sequence analysis of the cDNA predicted a protein of 464 amino acids with several putative coiled-coil domains that are responsible for protein-protein interactions. Indeed, we found homodimerization of CEP55 by coimmunoprecipitation. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that endogenous CEP55 as well as an EGFP-CEP55 fusion protein is present at the centrosome throughout mitosis, whereas it also appears at the cleavage furrow in late anaphase and in the midbody in cytokinesis. Neither nocodazole nor taxol interfered with centrosome association of endogenous CEP55, suggesting that it directly interacts with centrosome components rather than with microtubules. In microtubule regrowth assays, overexpression of CEP55 did not enhance or inhibit microtubule nucleation. Together, these data suggest a possible involvement of CEP55 in centrosome-dependent cellular functions, such as centrosome duplication and/or cell cycle progression, or in the regulation of cytokinesis. 相似文献

BTEX compounds such as benzene are frequent soil and groundwater contaminants that are easily biodegraded under oxic conditions
by bacteria. In contrast, benzene is rather recalcitrant under anaerobic conditions. The analysis of anoxic degradation is
often hampered by difficult sampling conditions, limited amounts of biomass and interference of matrix compounds with proteomic
approaches. In order to improve the procedure for protein extraction we established a scheme consisting of the following steps:
dissociation of cells from lava granules, cell lysis by ultrasonication and purification of proteins by phenol extraction.
The 2D-gels revealed a resolution of about 240 proteins spots and the spot patterns showed strong matrix dependence, but still
differences were detectable between the metaproteomes obtained after growth on benzene and benzoate. Using direct data base
search as well as de novo sequencing approaches we were able to identify several proteins. An enoyl-CoA hydratase with cross
species homology to Azoarcus evansii, is known to be involved in the anoxic degradation of xenobiotics. Thereby the identification confirmed that this procedure
has the capacity to analyse the metaproteome of an anoxic living microbial community. 相似文献

Aromatic hydrocarbons are widespread in nature and often contribute to the pollution of soils, sediments, and groundwater. The contamination of soil with mobile aromatic compounds, generally termed BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) is observed at many industrial sites, especially those associated with the petrochemical industry. In situ bioremediation of sites that are contaminated with BTEX can be applied both aerobically and anaerobically. The use of anaerobic in situ bioremediation is advantageous because supply of oxygen is not needed. Nevertheless, anaerobic in situ bioremediation is less commonly used for BTEX contaminated sites. This paper describes push-pull experiments in order to stimulate the degradation of benzene by the addition of nitrate or chlorate. Deuterated benzene was subjected with nitrate-amended groundwater to the aquifer, and the mineralization was traced by the enrichment of deuterium in the groundwater. Nitrate can be used as electron acceptor, and the addition of nitrate at a site in The Netherlands resulted in partial degradation of benzene. This was demonstrated by comparing various push-pull experiments, benzene concentration measurements, stable isotope analyses of benzene and water, and modeling. Chlorate can be used for the in situ production of oxygen, followed by degradation of benzene with oxygen as electron acceptor. The addition of chlorate at the site resulted in the complete removal of benzene demonstrating a complete degradation within 4 weeks. A pull phase was not needed during this run. 相似文献

Neuroendocrine secretory granules (SGs) are formed at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) as immature intermediates. In PC12 cells, these immature SGs (ISGs) are transported within seconds to
the cell cortex, where they move along actin filaments and complete maturation. This maturation process comprises acidification-dependent
processing of cargo proteins, condensation of the SG matrix, and removal of membrane and proteins not destined to mature SGs
(MSGs) into ISG-derived vesicles (IDVs). We investigated the roles of myosin Va and Rab3 isoforms in the maturation of ISGs
in neuroendocrine PC12 cells. The expression of dominant-negative mutants of myosin Va or Rab3D blocked the removal of the
endoprotease furin from ISGs. Furthermore, expression of mutant Rab3D, but not of mutant myosin Va, impaired cargo processing
of SGs. In conclusion, our data suggest an implication of myosin Va and Rab3D in the maturation of SGs where they participate
in overlapping but not identical tasks. 相似文献

We studied the pattern of the cis-trans isomerization of unsaturated fatty acids in cells of Pseudomonas putida S12 grown in a medium supplemented with oleic acid which was deuterated at both of the C atoms of its double bond. Direct evidence that isomerization does not include a transient saturation of the double bond was obtained. In addition, analysis of the amino acid sequences of the seven known Cti proteins identified them as heme-containing proteins of the cytochrome c type. 相似文献

Anaerobic degradation of 2-methylnaphthalene was investigated with a sulfate-reducing enrichment culture. Metabolite analyses revealed two groups of degradation products. The first group comprised two succinic acid adducts which were identified as naphthyl-2-methyl-succinic acid and naphthyl-2-methylene-succinic acid by comparison with chemically synthesized reference compounds. Naphthyl-2-methyl-succinic acid accumulated to 0.5 microM in culture supernatants. Production of naphthyl-2-methyl-succinic acid was analyzed in enzyme assays with dense cell suspensions. The conversion of 2-methylnaphthalene to naphthyl-2-methyl-succinic acid was detected at a specific activity of 0.020 +/- 0.003 nmol min(-1) mg of protein(-1) only in the presence of cells and fumarate. We conclude that under anaerobic conditions 2-methylnaphthalene is activated by fumarate addition to the methyl group, as is the case in anaerobic toluene degradation. The second group of metabolites comprised 2-naphthoic acid and reduced 2-naphthoic acid derivatives, including 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid, octahydro-2-naphthoic acid, and decahydro-2-naphthoic acid. These compounds were also identified in an earlier study as products of anaerobic naphthalene degradation with the same enrichment culture. A pathway for anaerobic degradation of 2-methylnaphthalene analogous to that for anaerobic toluene degradation is proposed. 相似文献
