棉铃虫乙酰胆碱酯酶的底物专一性和发育期变化(英)

通过对河北省邯郸地区和山东省冠县的棉铃虫(Helicoverpa armigera H(?)bner)乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)研究,结果表明,棉铃虫乙酰胆碱酯酶对乙酰硫代胆碱(ATCh)和乙酰-β-甲基硫代胆碱(MeTCh)的比活力以及米氏常数(K_(?))值随其发育阶段呈有规律的变化,AChE比活力在幼虫期呈现两个高峰,一个在三龄,另一个在化蛹前;在蛹期AChE比活力没有明显的变化,而且比活力值比较低;到成虫期第4天有一个明显的高峰,比活力值高于其它任何虫态。K_(?)和最大反应速度(V_(max))的变化趋势基本上与比活力一致。棉铃虫AChE的K_(?)和比活力随其生长发育阶段的周期性变化对于指导用有机磷和氨基甲酸酯类杀虫药剂的化学防治具有重要的意义。不同地点采集到的棉铃虫AChE对AICh和MeTCh水解的活化能有所不同,邯郸地区的棉铃虫AChE水解MeTCh的活化能,蛹和成虫是幼虫期的3.9-4.3倍,而冠县棉铃虫水解MeTCh的活化能则变化不大。AChE水解ATCh的活化能,邯郸地区棉铃虫的AChE不同虫态间变化不大,冠县棉铃虫AChE,幼虫和成虫期约是蛹期的4倍。这说明不同生长发育时期,棉铃虫AChE对底物的水解所消耗的能量是不同的。棉铃虫幼虫AChE的最适反应条件是酶量以重量计为50-100mg,反应时间为10-20min,反应温度为35℃,反应体系的pH值为8.0。     

悬钩子属种质的评价

在进行了７省悬钩子资源调查的基础上,在南京建立了悬钩子属田间基因库。３年来对田间基因库内保存并开花结果的３０个种进行了开花结果性状的记栽和评价。内容包括果实特征,糖、酸、维生素类、氨基酸、矿质元素含量分析,染色体计数等。分析了种间和种内多样性物存在及在良种选育中利用的可能性。     

应用离体叶片法鉴定棉花种质抗螨性的研究

应用离体叶片法,对9个棉花种质进行了鉴定,试验结果表明;种质间抗生性和忌避性差异显著;同株棉花不同部位的叶片对朱砂叶螨的抗生性无显著性差异。通过对叶螨在不同棉花种质上种群增长动态进行系统聚类,可将9个棉花种质划分为3类:斯字棉825-91、杞县86789、鄂棉314、苏联8911为1类,中棉164、潼南接龙棉、新库861517-2、南农NAC90-2为1类,美棉7-15独立为1类。依据朱砂叶螨在不同种质上的种群增长曲线和高峰期螨量增长倍数,可将9个种质划分为3个类型;斯字棉825-91、新库861517-2为抗性类型,潼南接龙棉、美棉7-15、南农NAC90-2为感性类型,其余为中抗类型。从忌避性看:斯字棉825-91、美棉7-15表现出较高的忌避性。     

Substrate requirements for ErmC' methyltransferase activity.

ErmC' is a methyltransferase that confers resistance to the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B group of antibiotics by catalyzing the methylation of 23S rRNA at a specific adenine residue (A-2085 in Bacillus subtilis; A-2058 in Escherichia coli). The gene for ErmC' was cloned and expressed to a high level in E. coli, and the protein was purified to virtual homogeneity. Studies of substrate requirements of ErmC' have shown that a 262-nucleotide RNA fragment within domain V of B. subtilis 23S rRNA can be utilized efficiently as a substrate for methylation at A-2085. Kinetic studies of the monomethylation reaction showed that the apparent Km of this 262-nucleotide RNA oligonucleotide was 26-fold greater than the value determined for full-size and domain V 23S rRNA. In addition, the Vmax for this fragment also rose sevenfold. A model of RNA-ErmC' interaction involving multiple binding sites is proposed from the kinetic data presented.

通过对球形红杆菌(Rhodobacter sphaeroides)生长和积累聚卢-羟基链烷酸(PHA)条件的研究,确定采用两段培养法提高PHA的产量。第一阶段提供适合菌体生长的条件:以葡萄糖作碳源,尿素为氮源,光照微好氧培养。第二阶段则提供使菌体积累PHA的条件:补加乙酸钠厌氧光照培养。经两段培养后菌体PHA含量可占细胞干重的45％,PHA产量每升发酵液可达1.7g。

干旱和湿润生境下辽东栎群体遗传结构及其适应意义的初步研究

应用同工酶分析方法,测定北京市东灵山区两个分别代表干旱和湿润生境的辽东栋（ＱｕｅｒｃｕｓｌｉａｏｔｕｎｇｅｎｓｉｓＫｏｉｚ．）群体的遗传结构。共分析统计了１３ 个酶系统３０ 个位点。结果表明：辽东栎群体内部存在丰富的遗传变异（多态位点百分率为８６．６％ ,等位基因平均数为２．２５）。两群体遗传结构的相似性程度很高（Ｄ＝ ０．０２９, ＧＳＴ＝ ０．０４８）;但在个别位点上仍存在较大差异,这些差异的产生可能与对小生境的适应有关。对不同年龄段的初步分析结果显示,基因频率的动态变化可能有其适应意义     

A simple and modified manometric method for measuring oxygen uptake rate of plant cells in flask cultures

Summary A simple and convenient technique was developed based on the principle of Warburg manometric method to measure O₂ uptake rate (OUR) and CO₂ evolution rate (CER) of suspended cells in a shake flask culture. It was successfully applied to suspension cultures of rice (Oryza sativa) and Panax notoginseng cells, and some important bioprocess parameters, such as OUR, CER, respiratory quotient (RQ), specific OUR (SOUR) and specific CER (SCER), were quantitatively obtained. The measuring system is easy to operate, able to treat many samples simultaneously and is economical.     

Recent advances in plant cell cultures in bioreactors

Two key issues in the application of plant-cell-culture technology to the production of valuable secondary metabolites are reviewed: the selection of cell lines with suitable genetic, biochemical and physiological characteristics; and the optimization of bioreactor environments. Although great progress has been made in recent years in the design, selection and optimization of bioreactor hardware, optimization of environmental factors such as medium components, light irradiation and O₂ supply needs detailed investigations for each case. With a better understanding of plant cell metabolism and physiology, further developments in cultivation processes, such as process integration and on-line monitoring and control, can be expected in the near future.J.-J.
