咖啡因具有抑制一些酶的活性,可减弱或消除生物体自身对激光引起的生物效应的修复作用。试验证明咖啡因对番茄种子萌发有强烈的抑制作用,咖啡因和激光复合处理生物效应显著,可降低番茄种子的发芽,并促进番茄果实增大和生长前期速率加快。     

酵母多肽对几种细胞DNA合成的影响

<正> 我们用国内的新鲜酵母为材料,从中分离纯化到一种多肽——酵母多肽,其分子量为14kD。在低血清培养体系中能促使人成纤维细胞(HFB)和人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)的DNA合成。当培养液中酵母多肽的浓度为1μg/mL时能引起最大的刺激作用。但此多肽对胎牛心脏内皮细胞(FBHEC)的DNA合成则无作用。     

乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)体内外对单个核细胞白细胞介素-1和白细胞介素-2诱生活性影响的研究

本研究用PAP法、胸腺细胞增殖法、脾细胞增殖法,分别检测16例体外HBV感染的骨髓单个核细胞与16例慢性乙型肝炎患者体内感染的骨髓单个核细胞(MNCs)中的HBcAg和白细胞介素-1(IL-1)、白细胞介素-2(IL-2)的诱生活性(以△cpm值表示)。结果显示,体外HBV感染组与体内HBV感染组骨髓MNCs中HBcAg检出率分别为50％和43.7％。本实验结果表明,HBV在体外感染骨髓MNCs,且与体内自然感染相符,但光镜下未观察到致细胞病变效应(CPE)。体外感染组与体内感染组IL-I和IL-2活性均较对照组明显下降(P<0.01)。且细胞中HBcAg检出阳性者较阴性者下降更为明显(P<0.01)。IL-1和IL-2诱生活性降低与HBV侵染免疫细胞及其在细胞内复制有密切关系,从而提示,IL-1和IL-2降低可能影响HBV的清除而引起慢性化过程。     

慈竹无性系种群能值特点及其影响能值计测因素的研究

 本文引用Harper(1977)的构件结构理论,从构件结构单位、无性系分株和无性系三个层次,对四川南充市郊慈竹无性系种群的能值特点及其影响能值的计测因素进行了定量研究。研究结果表明：慈竹无性系种群中,各构件单位的去灰分热值(AFCV)分别为：根15349.42J／g、根茎16372.92J／g、秆17106.06J／g、枝18111.99J／g和叶19451.90J／g;慈竹无性系分株的AFCV(J／g)随龄级增大而递增;慈竹无性系水平上的AFCV为：Ⅰ龄占16.47%、Ⅱ龄占25.76%、Ⅲ龄占36.32%、Ⅳ龄为13.08%及Ⅴ龄为8.37%。用恒容燃烧法测定热值时,其能值变化与氧分压密切相关。用经验公式计算的能值较作图法高;用AFCV表示能值较总干重热值(GCV)准确。

本实验使用皮肤常住菌分离株,筛选驯化后成为无毒菌株,经冷冻干燥后,制备成生态制备膏霜,涂于已被烧伤大鼠表面,2h后接种绿脓杆菌(10~9CFu/ml)或金黄色葡萄球菌(10~9CFu/ml),并以空白膏霜涂抹作为对照组,观察其抗感染作用,发现拮抗作用自48h始,痴上绿脓杆菌菌数由1.08×10~(11)CFu/g降至6.51×10~(10)CF/g,痂下由1.12×10~(11)至7.77×10~9CFu/g。至72 h拮抗作明显,痴上绿脓杆菌4.69×10~(10)至2.08×10~8,痂下为1.65×10~(10)至4.5×10~8。感染金黄色葡萄球菌从10~(10)CFu/g到10~8CFu/g,72h后便降至1.02—7.83×10~6CFu/g,并一定程度阻止了感染的细菌入血,而对肠道细菌迁移无作用。     

Mapping of ben genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract Four ben genes responsible for the conversion of benzoate to catechol in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO have been mapped to a 4.6 kb Kpn I fragment. ben -1 and ben -4 were known to be separate genes but now ben-1508 has been found to be different from ben-2 . The two genes were distinguished by Tn 5 mutagenesis of a cosmid clone and deletion mapping. It is likely that the four genes mapped ( ben-4, ben-2, ben-1508 and ben-1 ) correspond to the previously characterized benR (regulatory gene) and benABC (benzoate dioxygenase) respectively.     

生物淋洗修复钒污染土壤的性能与机理研究

【目的】土壤重金属污染问题日益受到关注,其中钒污染逐渐成为研究热点。淋洗是土壤修复的重要手段,但存在污染大、成本高的缺点。生物淋洗技术因其经济高效且环保的特点能够应用于土壤的修复,但其对钒污染土壤的修复,认识仍非常有限。【方法】本研究采用嗜酸性氧化亚铁硫杆菌对钒污染土壤进行了生物淋洗试验,通过影响因素试验探究了钒的最佳浸出条件,并应用扫描电子显微镜-能量色散X射线谱分析了钒在淋洗过程中的变化,最后对代谢产物进行了解析。【结果】微生物次生代谢产物能促进土壤中钒的溶出。氧化亚铁硫杆菌对土壤钒的浸出效率较高,生物淋洗20 d后土壤中钒的浸出率达到27.4%,进一步的影响因素试验表明,在固体浓度为3%、接种体积为10%、初始pH值为1.8、初始Fe²⁺的浓度为3.0 g/L的条件下,土壤中钒的浸出效果最佳。SEM-EDS分析证实生物淋洗后土壤中钒含量减少,其中以非残渣态形式存在的钒更容易被浸出。代谢组学分析显示氧化亚铁硫杆菌在浸出过程中产生了大量代谢产物来应对重金属胁迫。【结论】生物淋洗技术能够有效地实现土壤钒污染的修复,本研究为钒污染土壤提供了一种环境友好的修复方式。     

Temporal dynamics of soil bacterial network regulate soil resistomes

Soil bacteria are diverse and form complicated ecological networks through various microbial interactions, which play important roles in soil multi-functionality. However, the seasonal effects on the bacterial network, especially the relationship between bacterial network topological features and soil resistomes remains underexplored, which impedes our ability to unveil the mechanisms of the temporal-dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, a field investigation was conducted across four seasons at the watershed scale. We observed significant seasonal variation in bacterial networks, with lower complexity and stability in autumn, and a wider bacterial community niche in summer. Similar to bacterial communities, the co-occurrence networks among ARGs also shift with seasonal change, particularly with respect to the topological features of the node degree, which on average was higher in summer than in the other seasons. Furthermore, the nodes with higher betweenness, stress, degree, and closeness centrality in the bacterial network showed strong relationships with the 10 major classes of ARGs. These findings highlighted the changes in the topological properties of bacterial networks that could further alter antibiotic resistance in soil. Together, our results reveal the temporal dynamics of bacterial ecological networks at the watershed scale, and provide new insights into antibiotic resistance management under environmental changes.     

High-temperature stress in crops: male sterility,yield loss and potential remedy approaches

Global food security is one of the utmost essential challenges in the 21st century in providing enough food for the growing population while coping with the already stressed environment. High temperature (HT) is one of the main factors affecting plant growth, development and reproduction and causes male sterility in plants. In male reproductive tissues, metabolic changes induced by HT involve carbohydrates, lipids, hormones, epigenetics and reactive oxygen species, leading to male sterility and ultimately reducing yield. Understanding the mechanism and genes involved in these pathways during the HT stress response will provide a new path to improve crops by using molecular breeding and biotechnological approaches. Moreover, this review provides insight into male sterility and integrates this with suggested strategies to enhance crop tolerance under HT stress conditions at the reproductive stage.     

Eu3+-activated red phosphor Ca3YAl3B4O15 with low thermal quenching behaviour

This paper reports a sequence of a Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅:xEu³⁺ red phosphor prepared using a high-temperature solid-state reaction. At the excitation of 396 nm, the samples emitted intense red emission centred at ~623 nm, which could be attributed to the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of the Eu³⁺ ion. The results showed that the optimum Eu³⁺ doping concentration of Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅:Eu³⁺ phosphor was x = 80 mol%, and the concentration quenching mechanism of Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅:Eu³⁺ red phosphor belonged to the exchange coupling between Eu³⁺ ions. The Commission Internationale de l'éclairage (CIE) coordinates and colour purity of Ca₃Y_0.2Al₃B₄O₁₅:0.8Eu³⁺ were calculated as (0.6375, 0.3476) and 95.5%, respectively. Moreover, the red emission of the obtained phosphor Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅:0.8Eu³⁺ exhibited a low thermal quenching behaviour with an intensity retention rate of 92.85% at 150°C. The above results manifest that the Eu³⁺-activated Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅ phosphor is predicted to be a promising red luminescent component for white light-emitting diodes.
