广西、云南的PSEUDOSCHWAGERINA化石及其地层意义

该文记述了广西宜山马脑山剖面及云南八宝小独山剖面Pseudoschwaserina属34种(亚种),分析了两剖面Pseudoschwagerina动物群的面貌,讨论了Pseudoschwagerina的地层意义。研究表明,两剖面Pseudoschwagerina动物群具有地方性种稀少的共同特点,大多数种皆为广相型分子。从动物群的组成上看,广西、云南Pseudoschwagerina动物群与我国贵州、北美及俄罗斯等地的Pseudoschwagerina动物群有较大的相似性。但是,目前归入 Pseudoschwagerina名下的各种在形态上有着较大的差异,造成不同地区合Pseudoschwagerina地层带化石难以直接对比。根据对两剖面Pseudoschwagerina地层分布规律的研究以及国内、外Pseudochwagerina地理分布的资料,笔者建议选用 Pseudoschwagerina uddeni,P.beedei,P.robusta等 Pseudoschwagerina的典型分子做为含Pseudoschwagerina地层划分、对比的首要标准类群,选用P.uddeni和P.robusta分别做为确定Pseudoschwagerina带底、顶界线的首要标准种,以便于含Pseudoschwagerina地层的全球性的对比。     

Protein enrichment of sweet potato residue with co-culture of amylolytic fungi by solid-state fermentation

Protein enrichment of sweet potato residue with amylolytic moulds by solid-state fermentation was higher than that obtained with amylolytic yeasts. The optimum initial moisture content for protein enrichment was 66% to 75%. Incrementally added nitrogen sources to the culture at zero time and at 24 h considerably improved the final protein content. During the cultivation, the moisture, ash and ATP contents increased, while the pH value decreased. A 1:1 co-culture of amylolytic mycelial fungi yielded a product with 32.4% crude protein after 4 days incubation at 30 degrees C.     

Acid-Catalyzed nucleophilic substitution and racemization of 3-methoxy-N-desmethyldiazepam enantiomers in methanol

pK_a1 values of 3-methoxy-N-desmethyldiazepam in acetonitrile and methanol containing various acid concentrations were determined by spectrophotometry to be 3.5 and 1.3, respectively. Temperature-dependent racemization of enantiomeric 3-methoxy-N-desmethyldiazepam in methanol containing 0.5 M H₂SO₄ was studied by circular dichroism spectropolorimetry and the racemization reactions were found to follow apparent first-order kinetics. Thermodynamic parameters of the racemization reaction were found to be: E_act = 18.8 kcal/mol, and at 25°C: ΔH^? = 18.3 kcal/mol, ΔS^? = ?14.8 entropy unit, and ΔG^? = 22.7 kcal/mol, respectively. The racemization had an isotope effect (k_H/k_D) of 1.6 at 42°C. Based on the results of this report and those of earlier reports by other investigators, a nucleophilically solvated C3 carbocation intermediate resulting from either a P (plus) or an M (minus) conformation is proposed to be an intermediate and responsible for the stereoselective nucleophilic substitution and the subsequent racemization of 3-methoxy-N-desmethyldiazepam enantiomers. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Enhancement of CO2 tolerance of Chlorella vulgaris by gradual increase of CO2 concentration

Summary Chlorella vulgaris UTEX259 was cultivated using two different methods of gas supply. In one method the CO₂ concentration in bubbled gas was held constant and in the other method it was increased gradually. Algal growth was almost linear after a short period of lag phase in both methods. With the constant CO₂ concentration, the CO₂ fixation rate in the linear growth phase decreased over 10%(v/v) CO₂, while the rate increased up to 6% CO₂. However, the rate was enhanced by using the latter incremental increase method, especially under a higher concentration of CO₂. The maximum rate of CO₂ fixation was 52 mg CO₂/l·h at 20% CO₂ during the gradual increase of CO₂ concentration.     

一种具有纤溶活性的枯草杆菌蛋白激酶的研究──Ⅰ高产酶菌株的筛选与鉴定

本文主要阐述了一种具有纤溶活性的枯草杆菌（Ｂａｃｉｌｌｕｓｓｕｂｔｉｌｉｓ）蛋白激酶产生菌株的筛选与鉴定的研究结果。作者从初筛的１２株Ｂａｃｉｌｌｕｓｓｕｂｌｉｌｉｓ菌中,通过对固体发酵和液体发酵所产生的枯草杆菌蛋白激酶,用琼脂糖－纤维蛋白平板法测其活性,经比较不同菌株的活性,筛选出两株高产酶菌株：Ｂ．ｓｕｂｔｉｌｉｓＨＷ—１２和Ｂ．ｓｕｂｔｉｌｉｓＨＷ—３。同时对菌体和菌落形态特点、生理生化反应进行了鉴定,认为Ｂ．ＳｕｂｔｉｌｉｓＨＷ－１２菌株可用来做为发酵生产该酶的菌种。     

Distribution and Significance of Nitric Oxide Synthase in Brain Tissues of Rats Exposed to Deltamethrin Insecticide

The distribution of nitric oxide synthase(NOS)in brain tissues of rats exposed to deltamethrininsecticide has been examined by histochemical NADPH-diaphorase staining techniques on frozen sec-tions.After injection of deltamethrin(12.5mg/kg,i.p.),a reproducible sequence of toxic signs ofhyperexcitability were elicited.The observation and image analysis showed that,within brain sec-tions of rats exposed to deltamethrin,the numbers and the total staining areas of the NOS positiveneurons were greatly increased,especially in cerebral cortex,hippocampal formation and paraventric-ular nucleus.In addition,the density of single neuron and the processes were also increased.The re-sults suggested that deltamethrin may induce the NOS expression or activate the NOS activity.TheNOS activation may involve in the chains responsible for the excitatory neurotoxicities induced bydeltamethrin.     

慢性心功能不全大鼠心脏和血淋巴细胞β-肾上腺素受体的改变

在主动脉与肾动脉缩窄造成的慢性心功能不全大鼠,血浆儿茶酚胺浓度增高;心脏β-肾上腺素受体(β-AR)数量增加,其中β_1-AR及其mRNA增加,而β_2-AR及其mRNA不变;左心房异丙基肾上腺素(ISO)浓度-收缩效应曲线右移;而心肌ISO浓度-cAMP蓄积曲线无显著改变;血淋巴细胞β-AR数量显著减少.结果提示心功能不全时心脏β_1-AR数量增多,但其介导的正性变力效应反而降低,在cAMP生成以后的信号转导过程或心肌收缩成分功能存在障碍,而血淋巴细胞β-AR的改变与心脏β-AR的功能改变平行.
