黄铁矿对煤生物产气和微生物群落结构的影响

【目的】研究煤中矿物质黄铁矿对生物产气的影响。【方法】本研究以陕西榆林煤作为生物产气底物,以实验室前期驯化的产甲烷微生物作为出发菌群,通过在厌氧体系中添加不同质量的黄铁矿进行煤生物模拟产气试验。利用气相色谱仪、液相色谱仪、酶标仪、傅里叶红外光谱仪和Illumina高通量测序平台研究产气过程中CH₄含量、总挥发性脂肪酸(volatile fatty acids,VFAs)浓度、辅酶F₄₂₀含量、产气前后煤中有机官能团和微生物群落结构的变化。【结果】添加适量黄铁矿在产气前期(15–22 d)能促进CH₄生成,而产气后期(29–50 d)会抑制产气,而且添加0.5%黄铁矿的在前中期的产气量比对照组高48.1%,累计产气量达到193.67 μmol/g-coal。生物产气实验组反应液中的VFAs和辅酶F₄₂₀浓度整体均高于对照组,说明添加黄铁矿促进了反应体系中产酸细菌和产甲烷菌的活性。添加黄铁矿后煤中的醇和酚羟基,–NH–和–NH₂更易被微生物利用。黄铁矿添加对细菌和古菌的群落多样性有...     

Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Rice Cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) Under Salt Stress and Low Nitrogen Conditions

Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) under salt stress has become crucial for rice as it is increasingly facing two major environmental constraints: excessive nitrogen fertilization and soil salinization. However, the interaction between salinity and N levels is very complex and has not yet been considered from the perspective of reduced nitrogen input. We conducted a hydroponic experiment at the early tillering stage on the Yoshida solution to evaluate the impact of rising NaCl and decreasing N application on NUE of four rice cultivars cultivated under three NaCl (0, 56, and 113 mM) and four N (2.86, 1.43, 0.72, and 0.36 mM) concentrations. After 4 weeks, physiological NUE (pNUE), absorption NUE (aNUE), agronomical NUE (agNUE), N transport efficiency (NTE), and physiological traits were evaluated. Significant interactions between N and NaCl-applied concentrations were found in all measured parameters. In all cultivars, increasing the NaCl-applied concentration markedly decreased aNUE and agNUE. For each NaCl treatment, lowering the N applied sharply increased aNUE and agNUE, and this effect was stronger when the NaCl applied was higher. The effect of N lowering on pNUE depended on the NaCl treatment: it enhanced pNUE in the absence of NaCl but had no influence under the highest NaCl-applied concentration. Cultivars largely differed in response to NaCl. The aNUE—but not pNUE—differed between salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive cultivars: aNUE markedly decreased with NaCl concentration in the most salt-sensitive cultivar, whereas it was the highest at the intermediate NaCl concentration in the most salt-tolerant cultivar, especially under low N levels. This finding suggests that under salt conditions, the use of salt-tolerant rice genotypes combined with reducing N level application is necessary to improve NUE. The study of NUE in rice should be focused on the improvement of aNUE with a strong emphasis on the salt tolerance of cultivars.

Exosomes released by Brucella-infected macrophages inhibit the intracellular survival of Brucella by promoting the polarization of M1 macrophages

Exosomes, membrane vesicles released extracellularly from cells, contain nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and other components, allowing the transfer of material information between cells. Recent studies reported the role of exosomes in pathogenic microbial infection and host immune mechanisms. Brucella-invasive bodies can survive in host cells for a long time and cause chronic infection, which causes tissue damage. Whether exosomes are involved in host anti-Brucella congenital immune responses has not been reported. Here, we extracted and identified exosomes secreted by Brucella melitensis M5 (Exo-M5)-infected macrophages, and performed in vivo and in vitro studies to examine the effects of exosomes carrying antigen on the polarization of macrophages and immune activation. Exo-M5 promoted the polarization of M1 macrophages, which induced the significant secretion of M1 cytokines (tumour necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ) through NF-κB signalling pathways and inhibited the secretion of M2 cytokines (IL-10), thereby inhibiting the intracellular survival of Brucella. Exo-M5 activated innate immunity and promoted the release of IgG2a antibodies that protected mice from Brucella infection and reduced the parasitaemia of Brucella in the spleen. Furthermore, Exo-M5 contained Brucella antigen components, including Omp31 and OmpA. These results demonstrated that exosomes have an important role in immune responses against Brucella, which might help elucidate the mechanisms of host immunity against Brucella infection and aid the search for Brucella biomarkers and the development of new vaccine candidates.     

常见水稻病虫害胁迫对转cry1C基因抗虫水稻Bt蛋白表达量的影响

【目的】明确转Bt基因抗虫水稻在病虫害胁迫下对Bt蛋白表达量的影响。【方法】以Bt水稻T1C-19(表达Cry1C蛋白)为研究对象,探究褐飞虱、白叶枯病等6种水稻常见病虫害胁迫下其体内Bt蛋白的表达量变化。【结果】褐飞虱取食引起T1C-19水稻叶片中Bt蛋白含量降低,而黑尾叶蝉取食显著降低了T1C-19水稻叶鞘中的Bt蛋白含量,白叶枯病侵染导致Bt水稻叶鞘中的Bt蛋白含量显著上升。二化螟、水稻普通矮缩病、稻瘟病的胁迫对转基因水稻T1C-19叶片和叶鞘中的Bt蛋白含量均无显著影响。【结论】病虫害胁迫因种类不同对Bt水稻中Bt蛋白表达量的影响有所不同。这将为Bt水稻的抗虫效果评价提供数据基础,同时为Bt水稻病虫害综合治理提供科学依据。     

Endogenous substrates of rat heart protein kinase C type I, II, and III isozymic forms in cardiac sarcolemma.

The endogenous substrate proteins of rat cardiac protein kinase C type I, II, and III isozymic forms were studied in rat cardiac sarcolemma. The 19-, 21-, 29-, 35-, and 95-kDa proteins were phosphorylated by both types II and III, but not type I. The extent of phosphorylation by individual protein kinase C isozymic forms was additive and equal to the extent of phosphorylation observed when a mixture of isozymic forms was employed. The extent of phosphorylation of the 21-kDa protein by type III was much higher than that by type II. These results suggest that the protein kinase C isozymes have preferences for specific endogenous substrate proteins. The phosphorylation of these endogenous substrate proteins by protein kinase C isozymes probably plays a role in cardiac cell functions.

A genetic solution for the global food security crisis

<正>Due to the rapid increase in population and the decreasing availability of arable land and freshwater resources per capita,global crop production will need to double by 2050 to meet human food demand.In early March,the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) of the United Nations released a report saying that 45 countries are in urgent need of food aid and millions of people are in severe hunger(https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/agriculture/brief/food-security-update)...
