花生种子活力与贮藏蛋白质降解的关系

花生种子吸胀2d后,子叶中肽链内切酶活性上升,贮藏蛋白质开始降解。高活力种子肽链内切酶活性在吸胀2d后迅速上升,至4d时达到高峰,而中等活力种子的肽链内切酶活性上升速度绶慢。高活力种子萌发时贮藏蛋白质降解速度高于中等活力种子。中等活力种子经PEG和PUT处理可提高种子活力,也促进了种子贮藏蛋白质降解能力的提高。     

Growth kinetics for shelf-life prediction: Theory and practice

Summary Predictive microbiology can be used to determine and predict the shelf-life of perishable foods under commercial distribution conditions based on microbial growth kinetics. This paper presents general microbial growth kinetics with the Monod model and the Gompertz function. Additional models are given to describe effects of food composition (e. g.a _w) and environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, gas atmosphere) as well as their interaction on the growth kinetic parameters (lag time and specific growth rate). These models can be used to predict the time to reach a critical level under any constant conditions within the range tested. A combination of microbial kinetics with an engineering accumulation approach can be used to predict the final microbial level in a food, or the loss of shelf-life, for any known time-temperature sequence, if there is no history effect or the history effect is negligible. A time-temperature indicator, could be used for predicting the remaining shelf-life of perishable foods under any distribution condition based on microbial growth kinetics.Mention of brand or firm names does not constitute an endorsement by the US Department of Agriculture over others of a similar nature not mentioned.

Angiotensin II Receptor Type I-Regulated Anion Secretion in Cystic Fibrosis Pancreatic Duct Cells

The β-adrenergic (cAMP-dependent) regulation of Cl⁻ conductance is defective in cystic fibrosis (CF). The present study explored alternative regulation of anion secretion in CF pancreatic ductal cells (CFPAC-1) by angiotensin II (AII) using the short-circuit current (I _SC ) technique. An increase in I _SC could be induced in CFPAC-1 cells by basolateral or apical application of AII in a concentration-dependent manner (EC₅₀ at 3 μm and 100 nm, respectively). Angiotensin receptor subtypes were identified using specific antagonists, losartan and PD123177, for AT₁ and AT₂ receptors, respectively. It was found that losartan (1 μm) could completely inhibit the AII-induced I _SC , whereas, PD123177 exerted insignificant effect on the I _SC , indicating predominant involvement of AT₁ receptors. The presence of AT₁ receptors in CFPAC-1 cells was also demonstrated by immunohistochemical studies using specific antibodies against AT₁ receptors. Confocal microscopic study demonstrated a rise in intracellular Ca²⁺ upon stimulation by AII indicating a role of intracellular Ca²⁺ in mediating the AII response. Depletion of intracellular but not extracellular pool of Ca²⁺ diminished the AII-induced I _SC . Treatment of the monolayers with a Cl⁻ channel blocker, DIDS, markedly reduced the I _SC , indicating that a large portion of the AII-activated I _SC was Cl⁻-dependent. AII-induced I _SC was also observed in monolayers whose basolateral membranes had been permeabilized by nystatin, suggesting that the I _SC was mediated by apical Cl⁻ channels. Our study indicates an AT₁-mediated Ca²⁺-dependent regulatory mechanism for anion secretion in CF pancreatic duct cells which may be important for the physiology and pathophysiology of the pancreas.

Fungal metabolism and detoxification of fluoranthene.

Five metabolites produced by Cunninghamella elegans from fluoranthene (FA) in biotransformation studies were investigated for mutagenic activity towards Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA104. Whereas FA displayed positive, dose-related mutagenic responses in both tester strains in the presence of a rat liver homogenate fraction, 3-FA-beta-glucopyranoside, 3-(8-hydroxy-FA)-beta-glucopyranoside, FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol, and 8-hydroxy-FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol were negative. 9-Hydroxy-FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol showed a weak positive response in S. typhimurium TA100. Mutagenicity assays performed with samples extracted at 24-h intervals during incubation of C. elegans with FA for 120 h showed that mutagenic activity decreased with time. Comparative studies with rat liver microsomes indicated that FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol, the previously identified proximal mutagenic metabolite of FA, was the major metabolite. The circular dichroism spectrum of the rat liver microsomal FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol indicated that it was optically active. In contrast, the circular dichroism spectrum of the fungal FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol showed no optical activity. These results indicate that C. elegans has the potential to detoxify FA and that the stereochemistry of its trans-2,3-dihydrodiol metabolite reduces its mutagenic potential.     

Structures of paralytic acylpolyamines from the spider Agelenopsis aperta

The structures are given for five paralytic acylpolyamines from the venom of the funnel web spider, Agelenopsis aperta. The acyl moieties are derived from (3-indolyl)acetic acid, (4-hydroxy-3-indolyl)acetic acid, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. The polyamine portions of the toxins are novel. Three toxins (AG489, AG505, and AG452) contain 1, 5, 9, 13, 18, 22-hexaazadocosane which is unique as a natural polyamine because of its length and hydroxylation at the 5-aza position. The polyamine portions of two other alpha-agatoxins (AG488 and AG504) are unusual also, containing guanidinooxy moieties.     

氨基酸酯水解酶产生菌的筛选及其合成头孢立新的研究

From ten genera and 146 bacterial strains, 22 strains producing alpha-amino acid ester hydrolase were selected. Among them, AS 1.586 and 41-2 were the best. The optimal conditions for synthesis of cephalexin by pseudomonas aeruginosa 1.204 were investigated. The optimal pH and temperature for enzymatic synthesis reaction was pH 6.8 and 25 degrees C, respectively. By using 1% 7-ADCA, 3% PGME and 4% biomass, about 70% of 7-ADCA was converted to cephalexin under the mentioned conditions.
