尿道致病性大肠杆菌U17株rstA缺失株降低对小鼠的致病性

【目的】探究双组份系统RstA/RstB中效应基因rstA对尿道致病性大肠杆菌毒力的影响。【方法】利用λRed重组系统构建UPEC U17 rstA缺失株U17ΔrstA,并构建相应的回复株,通过体内外试验评价rstA基因缺失对UPEC毒力的影响。【结果】生长曲线的测定结果显示,在LB普通培养基中,缺失株生长速度与野生株相似,但在LB贫铁培养基中,缺失株生长速度较野生株相比明显下降;体外环境应激试验结果显示,缺失株在强酸、强碱、高渗透压、尿素、氧化应激等环境压力下的生存能力与野生株相似;菌株生物被膜检测结果显示,缺失株的生物被膜形成能力与野生株相当;荧光定量PCR检测结果显示,rstA基因在贫铁环境下的表达水平较正常条件下显著上调,暗示贫铁环境可能是rstA发挥效应的刺激信号。6周龄BALB/c小鼠尿道感染试验结果显示,rstA缺失株在尿液、膀胱、肾脏中的带菌量显著低于野生株,而回复株毒力恢复至野生株水平,表明rstA缺失能显著降低UPECU17的毒力。【结论】rstA与尿道致病性大肠杆菌的致病性相关,为潜在的毒力因子。

Biocathode microbial fuel cell for efficient electricity recovery from dairy manure

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a new biological method for generating electricity directly from biodegradable compounds. Efficiency of MFCs using manure as substrate is generally low. This study proposed a new design by incorporating biocathodes into a three-chamber MFC, which yielded maximum power densities much higher than those reported in literature. The new design placed cylindrical anode chamber for easy stirring and two symmetrical cathodic chambers with reduced anode-cathode distance. The biocathodes were applied to reduce charge transfer resistance. Additionally, biocathode microbial community was cultured to enrich favorable microorganisms. With external loading of 100 Ω, the power densities for new biocathode MFC using 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% total solids diary manure reached 7.85±1.0 W m(-3), 7.84±1.20 W m(-3), 8.15±0.20 W m(-3), 7.60±0.97 W m(-3) and 5.63±0.97 W m(-3), respectively. The pH drop as a result of manure hydrolysis limited the power output. To provide detailed information of the microbial community in the biocathode MFC, the 454-pyrosequencing technique was adopted. The Firmicutes, γ-, β-, α- and δ-Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria were the major groups on the anode, while γ-, β-, and α-Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria were the predominant groups on the cathode.     

聚乙二醇(PEG6000)模拟干旱胁迫抑制矮沙冬青种子的萌发

本研究以新疆特有濒危保护植物矮沙冬青(A mmmopiptanthus nanus(M.Pop.)Cheng f.)的种子为材料,用不同渗透势浓度的聚乙二醇(PEG6000)模拟干旱胁迫,探讨干旱胁迫对矮沙冬青种子发芽率、平均发芽速度、胚轴和胚根长度及发芽指数、活力指数的影响.结果表明,不同浓度PEG胁迫处理均降低了种子的发芽率,延缓了矮沙冬青种子萌发进程;种子的发芽率、发芽指数和活力指数均随胁迫强度的增加呈明显下降趋势.当-1.20 MPa的PEG胁迫处理的种子在试验结束时仍未能萌发,表明-1.20 MPa是矮沙冬青种子萌发的临界水势.PEG模拟干旱胁迫中,当PEG处理为-0.2 MPa时,虽然最终发芽率与对照一样,但其胚根、胚轴的长度都比对照短,说明矮沙冬青胚根、胚轴的生长比发芽率对干旱胁迫更敏感.干旱胁迫可能是导致矮沙冬青种群天然更新能力弱的原因之一.本研究将为矮沙冬青种质资源的保护和种群的恢复提供科学依据.     

Salinity Impact on Bacterial Community Composition in Five High-Altitude Lakes from the Tibetan Plateau,Western China

The influence of salinity and geographical distance on bacterial community composition (BCC) in five freshwater, oligosaline or polysaline lakes located at altitudes higher than 4400 m on the central and southern Tibetan Plateau were investigated using the 16S rRNA gene clone library approach together with multivariate analysis of environmental variables. A total of 10 clone libraries were constructed with two libraries in each lake, one in the epilimnion and the other in the hypolimnion. Geographical distance was not found to impact BCC significantly, but salinity, chl a and lake hydraulic retention time were significant factors influencing the BCC. Bacteria in lakes located on the central and southern Plateau owned the same community composition as that observed from the eastern Tibetan lakes. They were both predominated by Bacteroidetes and Cyanobacteria, had low taxon richness, and similar typical freshwater clusters and distributed characteristics.

氮磷钾配施对填充型烤烟烟碱含量的影响

以东北填充型烤烟品种"龙江911"为试验材料,通过正交回归田间试验,建立了氮、磷、钾肥与烤烟上部叶片烟碱含量的回归效应模型,并对各因子和交互作用进行了分析,模拟计算得出以降低上部叶片烟碱含量为目标的优化施肥方案.对模型解析表明,随施氮量增加,上部叶片烟碱含量呈先上升后下降趋势;随施磷量增加,烟碱含量呈上升趋势;随施钾量增加,烟碱含量呈急剧下降趋势.双因素效应大小依次为:氮钾＞磷钾＞氮磷,在一定范围内,氮磷、磷钾与烟碱含量表现为负相关,存在拮抗作用;而氮钾则相反,存在促进作用.对氮、磷、钾肥与烤烟上部叶片烟碱含量模型的综合分析得出:在植烟土壤为河淤土的生产区,烟田的基础施肥量建议为:氮肥33.5～47.8kg·hm-2,磷肥40.2～63.6 kg·hm-2,钾肥78.0～119.6kg·hm-2.     

一种大肠杆菌快速连续CRISPR基因组编辑的新策略

【背景】通过CRISPR结合λ-Red同源重组技术进行染色体编辑是大肠杆菌遗传改造的重要手段。虽然目前已经有多个以CRISPR为基础的大肠杆菌基因组编辑策略,但这些方法往往涉及单独质粒消除、多片段组装等过程,存在效率低、操作繁琐、耗时长等问题。【目的】建立一种基于不同温度敏感程度的多种质粒协同使用的大肠杆菌快速、连续、高效的CRISPR基因组编辑方法,提高CRISPR在大肠杆菌基因编辑过程中的效率。【方法】将传统CRISPR方法中使用的pTarget质粒改造为RK2ts型温敏型质粒,并采用pTW-A/S两种抗性标记质粒交替使用的方法消除假阳性,实现质粒消除与下一步基因组编辑同步进行。【结果】在相同温度下RK2ts型质粒先于pSC101ts型质粒发生丢失,从而能够选择性缺失RK2ts型质粒pTW-A/S。同时实现pTW-A/S质粒的消除和下一轮基因整合过程中质粒与打靶片段的转入。利用该方法基因敲除/整合效率高达100%。通过对菌株BP01基因Bspan D与asp A进行高效连续整合,构建得到菌株BP03,成功提升产物β-丙氨酸的产量。【结论】建立起一种新的高效、方便、灵活的CRISPR/Cas9介导的大肠杆菌基因组连续编辑策略。通过这种不同温度敏感程度的多种质粒协同使用方法,一方面解决了传统方法中质粒消除繁琐等问题,另一方面也避免了大质粒多片段连接等步骤,并极大地缩短了实验周期,为代谢工程菌株改造提供有力工具。
