Thirty independent actinomycetes strains carrying plasmids were isolated from soil. These plasmids were purified as cccDNA by CsCl-EtBr equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation. Plasmids that induce "pocks", namely formation of circular zones of sporulation-inhibition, were selected by protoplast transformation of streptomycin-producing strain, Streptomyces griseus ATCC10137. Six pock-forming plasmids, pOA7, pOA11, pOA15, pOA23, pOA29 and pOA30, were obtained, and their cleavage maps, transformation frequencies, and copy numbers, as well as their stability, are described. 相似文献
2,2,2-trichloroethyl 3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-d-glucopyranoside (9) was synthesized in 6 steps from the readily available 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-d-glucopyranose in 25% overall yield by employing the stannyl method for the regioselective activation of hydroxyl groups. Dibenzyl ether 9 was then glycosylated with appropriate glycosyl donors to afford lactosamine and chitobiose derivatives in good yield. 相似文献
A lactosaminyl donor, 3,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl)-β-d- glucopyranosyl chloride, was synthesized in 10 steps, starting from 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-d-glucopyranose. Benzyl 3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-d-glucopyranoside was prepared by regioselective benzylation at the primary hydroxyl group by the stannyl method, and was used as a key intermediate. 相似文献
ABSTRACTRice blast caused by Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae) is a disease devastating to rice. We have studied the Arabidopsis-P. oryzae pathosystem as a model system for nonhost resistance (NHR) and found that SOBIR1, but not BAK1, is a positive regulator of NHR to P. oryzae in Arabidopsis. AGB1 is also involved in NHR. However, the genetic interactions between SOBIR1, BAK1, and AGB1 are uncharacterized. In this study, we delineated the genetic interactions between SOBIR1, BAK1, and AGB1 in NHR to P. oryzae in Arabidopsis and found SOBIR1 and AGB1 independently control NHR to P. oryzae in Arabidopsis pen2-1 mutant plants. Furthermore, XLG2, but not TMM, has a positive role in penetration resistance to P. oryzae in Arabidopsis pen2-1 mutant plants. Our study characterized genetic interactions in Arabidopsis NHR.Abbreviations: PRR: pattern recognition receptor, RLK: receptor-like kinase, RLP: receptor-like protein, BAK1: BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1-ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE 1, BIR1: BAK1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 1, SOBIR1: SUPPRESSOR OF BIR1-1-1, AGB1: ARABIDOPSIS G PROTEIN ß-SUBUNIT 1, XLG2: EXTRA-LARGE G PROTEIN 2 相似文献

Bio-based recycling systems and agricultural production using recycled materials are often evaluated separately. This study performs an environmental and socio-economic life cycle assessment (LCA) of a food waste treatment and spinach farming system in Japan. The environmental and economic tradeoffs of introducing a recycling system and the net environmental benefit of the substitution of market fertilizer considering operation changes are also examined.
Methods
Three scenarios were developed and compared. In the conventional (CV) scenario, food waste is collected, incinerated, and disposed of in landfill, and the farmer uses market organic fertilizer. The on-site composting (OC) scenario processes food waste using an on-site garbage disposer and transports compost to a nearby spinach farmer. Food waste in the centralized composting (CC) scenario is transported to a centralized composting facility and resultant compost is sent to the farm. Primary data were obtained from field experiments and interviews. Non-greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the field and nitrogen leaching to water systems were simulated using the denitrification–decomposition (DNDC) model.
The environmental LCA targeted climate change, eutrophication, and waste landfill. An input–output analysis estimated socio-economic indicators, namely gross added value and employment inducement effect.
Results and discussion
The scenario with the lowest impact is the CC scenario. Climate change and eutrophication impacts are highest in the OC scenario and waste landfill impacts are most significant in the CV scenario. The weighted impact by LIME2 can be reduced by 47% in the CC scenario and 17% in the OC scenario due to the recycling of food waste instead of dumping in the landfill. The difference in socio-economic indicators between the scenarios was relatively small, although the CV scenario encouraged more employment. The substitution effect of composting, as well as the environmental impact reduction of replacing market organic fertilizer with compost, will result in 28.7% of the avoided impacts in GHG emissions.
Conclusions
Both composting scenarios are feasible from an environmental and socio-economic perspective when compared with conventional organic production, although there is a tradeoff between waste landfill and GHG emissions for the on-site composting system. However, the OC scenario needs to save electricity to improve its environmental competitiveness with the CV scenario. When considering the substitution effect of composting, it is recommended to take into account that agricultural operation also changes.
Raman spectroscopy was employed for the precise quantitative analysis of a gaseous mixture. The band ratio between the Raman band of the target gas and that of the external standard was calculated and found to be proportional to the pressure of the target gas. The linearity of the calibration curves was very good (higher than 0.999). The mole fractions of atmospheric nitrogen and atmospheric oxygen were determined from their partial pressures. The average molar fraction of atmospheric nitrogen was calculated to be 0.790, similar to the literature value. Those of methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide, which are produced by fermentation, were also determined from the Raman spectrum. The values were identical to those obtained from the measured volume of each gas. The possibility of quantifying gas molecules by Raman spectroscopy is demonstrated. 相似文献
