The influence of membrane surface charge on biofouling community composition during activated sludge filtration in a membrane bioreactor was investigated in this study using polyacrylonitrile-based membranes. Membranes with different surface properties were synthesized by phase inversion followed by a layer-by-layer modification. Various characterization results showed that the membranes differed only in their surface chemical composition and charge, ie two of them were negative, one neutral and one positive. Membrane fouling experiments were performed for 40 days and the biofouling communities were analyzed. PCR-DGGE fingerprinting indicated selective enrichment of bacterial populations from the sludge suspension within the biofilms at any time point. The biofilm community composition seemed to change with time. However, no difference was observed between the biofilm community of differently charged membranes at specific time points. It could be concluded that membrane charges do not play a decisive role in the long-term selection of the key bacterial foulants. 相似文献

Summary TransgenicPetunia hybrida clones harbouring the T-DNA gene2 ofAgrobacterium tumefaciens were used to test a strategy for the trapping of plant transposable elements. In thePetunia line used, floral variegation is due to the presence of the non-autonomous transposable elementdTph1 at theAn1 locus. The gene2 product converts the auxin precursor indole-3-acetamide and its analogue 1-naphthalene acetamide into the active auxins indole-3-acetic acid and 1-naphthalene acetic acid. Plant cells that express gene2 can use a low concentration of the precursors as auxins and become sensitive to the toxicity of high concentrations of these compounds. By selecting protoplast-derived microcalli or seedlings able to grow on medium with high precursor concentrations, variant plants were obtained in which gene2 was no longer expressed. Southern analysis, using gene2-specific probes, revealed that in one variant the T-DNA was deleted. For 30 other variants no alteration in gene2 structure was observed, indicating that transposable element insertion was not responsible for the inactivation of gene2. Analysis with restriction enzymes allowing discrimination between methylated or non-methylated DNA sequences showed that the inactivated gene2 sequences were methylated. Addition of the in vivo methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine to the medium led to reactivation of gene2 expression in some of the variants. These observations demonstrated that reversible DNA methylation was the main cause of silencing of gene2 in this system. 相似文献

The kinetics of endogenous cytokinin, IAA and ABA levels duringthe growth cycle of a wild-type tobacco crown gall (W38-B6S3)were compared with that of a shoot-inducing (Shi-) mutant. Inboth tumor types, high IAA and cytokinin (essentially ribosyl-trans-zeatinand its corresponding glucoside) levels were built up by theend of the linear growth phase and maintained during the greaterpart of the exponential growth period. The stationary phasewas preceded by a very drastic decrease in the endogenous levelof both hormones. Quantitatively, the wild-type tumour showed a higher IAA leveland a reduced cytokinin level compared with the Shi- mutant.No significantly different endogenous ABA pattern was observed.The reduced cytokinin level might correspond to the ratio oftransformed/untransformed cells in the wild-type tumour whereasthe reduced IAA level in the Shi- mutant may be correlated withthe deletion of gene 2 in the T-DNA of the pGV 2206 Ti plasmid. The elevated cytokinin/IAA ratio induced shooting mainly ofthe untransformed cells in the Shi- mutant tissue whereas inthe wild-type, the shoot suppression was compatible with thereduced cytokinin/IAA ratio.

Eight lines of nopaline crown gall tumours were analysed by Southern (1975) blot hybridization to determine the size, internal organization, boundaries, possible plant DNA integration and accuracy of transfer of the Ti-plasmid DNA segment (T-DNA) transferred from Agrobacterium tumefaciens to crown gall plant cells. The conservation of this T-DNA in tumour tissues and tissues derived from plants regenerated from crown gall teratomas was also studied.A defined plasmid segment (the T-region) of about 15 × 106Mr is accurately transferred and integrated into nuclear plant DNA without any major internal rearrangements. Furthermore, common composite fragments covalently linking the left and the right boundary of the T-region were observed, thus indicating either tandem duplications of integrated T-DNA segments or polymeric circles of T-DNA segments. The length of the transferred segment is not determined by size, since insertions in the T-region were found to be co-transferred with the T-DNA. The results indicate that sequences at the boundaries of the region may play a role in the transfer mechanism, although the right boundary could be replaced by a Tn1 insertion. Cells from plants regenerated from crown gall teratomas were shown to contain T-DNA without internal rearrangements but with minor modifications of the boundary fragments. In plants obtained from meiotic products of teratomaderived regenerated plants no T-DNA was observed. 相似文献
