Desulfurization of dibenzothiophene to 2-hydroxybiphenyl by some newly isolated bacterial strains

Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-acid-fast, rod-shaped aerobic bacteria with the ability to desulfurize dibenzothiophene (DBT) or dibenzosulfone (DBTO₂) were isolated from soil samples contaminated with fossil fuels. Using a bioavailability method, cells with the desired DbtS⁺ phenotype were enriched. Modified fluorescence and colorimetric assays were used for the initial detection of 2-hydroxybiphenyl (OH-BP) in microtiter plates; subsequently, isolates were grown in wells of microtiter plates and screened for the production of desulfurization product. Fluorescence under UV light and the production of colored product in the phenol assay were used as presumptive indications of production of OH-BP. Confirmation of the presence of OH-BP was achieved with HPLC, UV-absorbance, and mass spectrometry. Nutrient utilization and fatty acid composition (as discerned with Biolog plates and gas chromatography, respectively) were used to identify presumptively the strains as Rhodococcus erythropolis; colony and cell morphology may not be consistent with the identification achieved by nutrient utilization and fatty acid composition. The desulfurization end product, OH-BP, can not be used as carbon source by the tested strain, N1-36.     

Extractive fermentation of lactic acid by immobilizedLactobacillus casei using ion—exchange resin

Summary A novel method of lactic acid fermentation byLactobacillus casei immobilized in Ca—alginate gels is described, in which an ion—exchange resin packed column is attached to a fermentor for separation of lactic acid from fermentative broth. The technique successfully alleviated the restriction imposed by lactic acid on bacterial growth and product formation. As compared to the conventional batch fermentation, the new fermentation technique enhanced the lactic acid productivity and sugar conversion rate from 0.328g/L·h and 88. 2% to 0.482g/L·h and 98.6%, respectively.     

Differential adenoassociated virus vector-driven expression of a neuropeptide Y gene in primary rat brain astroglial cultures after transfection with sendai virosomes versus LipofectinTM

The ability of Sendai virosomes or Lipofectin^TM to introduce an AAV vector into primary rat brain astroglial cultures was characterized. The pJDT95npy vector was constructed by inserting rat NPY cDNA downstream from the indigenous AAV p5, p19 and p40 promoters in pJDT95. Lipofectin^TM-mediated transfection with pJDT95npy (10 g) resulted in pronounced expression of several NPY mRNA species: p5-driven (3.3 kb), p19-driven (2.7 kb) and p40-driven (0.6, 0.8, 1.1, and 1.8 kb). Exposure to virosomally encapsulated pJDT95npy (50 or 100 ng) resulted in transient expression of some p40-driven mRNA species (0.8 and 1.8 kb). Neither method produced astroglia cells which synthesized mature NPY immunoreactivity. This demonstrates that an AAV-derived vector can drive gene expression in astroglia, that Sendai virosomes can infuse vectors into astroglia, but that the amount of DNA infused in this manner may limit long term expression.     

向日葵幼苗环旋运动的三维轨迹

采用光学显微镜标尺和垂线原理制作的三维空间点测定仪,对向日葵（Ｈｅｌｉａｎｔｈｕｓ ａｎｎｕｕｓＬ．）幼苗的环旋运动进行了连续测量。结果表明：向日葵环旋运动的轨迹有椭圆型、摆动型和不规则型;同一植株在不同生长阶段所表现的环旋运动轨迹不一定相同,同一株龄的不同个体也不一定具有相同的运动轨迹;运动的方向有左旋和右旋,圆周运动光源可以显著地改变运动方向;从三维角度看,在整个下胚轴生长阶段,环旋运动的振幅存在一个由小变大再由大变小的变化规律     

Homology models of two isozymes of manganese peroxidase: Prediction of a Mn(II) binding site

The three-dimensional structures of two isozymes of manganese peroxidase (MnP) have been predicted from homology modeling using lignin peroxidase as a template. Although highly homologous, MnP differs from LiP by the requirement of Mn(II) as an intermediate in its oxidation of substrates. The Mn(II) site is absent in LiP and unique to the MnP family of peroxidases. The model structures were used to identify the unique Mn(II) binding sites, to determine to what extent they were conserved in the two isozymes, and to provide insight into why this site is absent in LiP. For each isozyme of MnP, three candidate Mn(II) binding sites were identified. Energy optimizations of the three possible Mn(II) enzyme complexes allowed the selection of the most favorable Mn(II) binding site as one with the most anionic oxygen moieties best configured to act as ligands for the Mn(II). At the preferred site, the Mn(II) is coordinated to the carboxyl oxygens of Glu-35, Glu-39, and Asp-179, and a propionate group of the heme. The predicted Mn(II) binding site is conserved in both isozymes. Comparison between the residues at this site in MnP and the corresponding residues in LiP shows that two of the three anionic residues in MnP are replaced by neutral residues in LiP, explaining why LiP does not bind Mn(II). © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

血管活性肠多肽结合核苷酸性质的研究

采用光亲和技术检测了血管活性肠多肽(VIP)与核苷酸之间的相互作用,发现VIP可以特异性结合同位素标记的GTP,还发现未标记的GTP以及其它三磷酸核苷抑制这种结合,这意味着VIP与上述三磷酸核苷之间的结合是一种典型的可逆性的结合反应.发现低浓度的GDP,GMP不但不抑制VIP与同位素标记GTP的结合反应,反而增强这种结合.联系到其它研究者关于GTP影响VIP与其受体结合反应的结果,可认为VIP能可逆性地连接一种三磷酸核苷,这种连接受反应系统中不同核苷酸比例影响,通过这种连接来调节VIP与其受体之间的反应.
