Repeated polyketide synthase modules involved in the biosynthesis of a heptaene macrolide by Streptomyces sp. FR-008

Genes for biosynthesis of a Streptomyces sp. FR-008 heptaene macrolide antibiotic with antifungal and mosquito larvicidal activity were cloned in Escherichia coli using heterologous DNA probes. The cloned genes were implicated in heptaene biosynthiesis by gene replacement. The FR-008 antibiotic contains a 38-membered, poiyketide-derived macrolide ring. Southern hybridization using probes encoding domains of the type i modular erythromycin polyketide synthase (PKS) showed that the Streptomyces sp. FR-008 PKS gene cluster contains repeated sequences spanning c. 105 kb of contiguous DNA; assuming c. 5 kb for each PKS module, this is in striking agreement with the expectation for the 21-step condensation process required for synthesis of the FR-008 carbon chain. The methods developed for transformation and gene replacement in Streptomyces sp. FR-008 make it possible to genetically manipulate polyene macrolide production, and may later lead to the biosynthesis of novel polyene macrolides.     

厌氧消化过程的非模型控制

对废水淤泥的厌氧消化处理过程进行了研究．提出了一种基于神经网络的非模型控制方法。多变量控制系统的操作变量为供热量和进水量．被控变量为消化温度和消化污泥排出浓度。证明了控制算法的收敛性。讨论了控制系统的稳定性。仿真结果证实了非模型控制方法的有效性。该方法无需对象的模型．为复杂生化过程的控制提供了一种新途径。

油松鳞叶中细胞核穿壁现象的初步研究

利用薄切片和超薄切片技术对油松衰老鳞叶中细胞核穿壁运动进行了观察研究。首次,细胞核内的染色质逐渐收缩集中,形成染色深的球状体,以后,细胞核逐渐与细胞壁接近。接着紧贴细胞壁的细胞核通过细胞壁上的通道或胞间连丝转移到相邻的细胞内,此外,还发现有多种其它的转移方式存在。研究结果表明细胞核的穿壁运动现象同时存在于连子植物和裸植物中,电镜观察进一步证明细胞壁道在细胞核穿壁之前已形成。     

卡氏膜球藻鞭毛伸缩节律的研究

卡氏膜球藻（Ｈｙｍｅｎｏｍｏｎａｓｃａｒｔｅｒａｅ）是一种单细胞海藻,细胞圆球形,表面覆盖一层球形石（Ｃｏｃｃｏｌｉｔｈｓ）。两条鞭毛稍不等长,着生于细胞前端,鞭毛长约为细胞直径的１．５倍。在２５±℃,光照强度２０００ｌｘ,光暗时间比１４：１０小时条件下,用ＭＥＳⅢ培养基培养卡氏膜球藻,发现细胞在光照条件下伸出鞭毛,活跃游动;在黑暗条件下缩回鞭毛,沉于培养瓶底。进一步试验证明：１．光刺激细胞伸出鞭毛,黑暗刺激细胞缩回鞭毛。２．鞭毛的伸缩与培养中的光暗周期变化严格对应,即光周期开始后２０分钟,细胞开始伸出鞭毛;暗周期一开始,鞭毛就向细胞内收缩。３．在连续光照条件下,鞭毛的周期性伸缩现象消失。所以,卡氏膜球藻鞭毛周期性伸缩是一种受光暗周期调节的外源节律。这种鞭毛伸缩的节律现象在藻类是第一次报道。     

Optimal door fitting with systematic fixture adjustment

A systematic approach is presented to obtain the best door gap quality through optimal door fitting in automobile body manufacturing. First, three indexes of gap quality are defined; they are: (1) door gap width deviation relative to design nominal; (2) door gap parallelism; and (3) car-to-car gap consistency. Then the door-fitting problem is formulated into a general constrained optimization problem. The effects of optimal door fitting on the three quality indexes are evaluated through computer simulation. These results provide a lower bound on the design of nominal door gap by considering process capability. Finally, a computer-aided fixture adjustment scheme is developed to orient a door in a body side opening to achieve the optimal fitting. The amount of adjustment, with the desired orientation obtained from optimization, is calculated based on parametrically modeled local surface features of the fixture and the door. The adequacy of door feature modeling is verified through a door-fitting experiment.

零下低温对杂交杨树皮层膜脂组成的影响

以不耐寒的美洲黑杨（Ｐｏｐｕｌｕｓｄｅｌｔｏｉｄｅｓｃｖ．“Ｌｕｘ”Ｉ－６９／５５,父本）和耐寒性较强的欧美杨（Ｐ．ｅｕｒａｍｅｒｉｃａｎａｃｌｃｖ．Ｉ－４５／５１,母本）的４个杂交Ｆ＿１代无性系（９５杨、５５９杨、６００杨和１３８１杨）为材料,分析了零下低温寒潮前后枝条皮层的脂质组成。结果表明,寒潮影响下,皮层中磷脂含量增加而组成基本不变,膜脂脂肪酸组成的变化规律是：寒潮前脂肪酸不饱和指数（ＩＵＦＡ）值大的无性系,寒潮前后的ＩＵＦＡ值变化量小;寒潮前ＩＵＦＡ值较小的无性系,寒潮前后ＩＵＦＡ值变化量较大。本文借用力学概念,提出相对抗性概念,给出杨树无性系的相对抗性序列。序列表明Ｆ＿１代无性系的耐寒性已较不耐寒的父本提高,这与田间观察基本一致。
