Abstract Two chronosequences of unsaturated, buried loess sediments, ranging in age from <10,000 years to >1 million years, were investigated to reconstruct patterns of microbial ecological succession that have occurred since sediment burial. The relative importance of microbial transport and survival to succession was inferred from sediment ages, porewater ages, patterns of abundance (measured by direct counts, counts of culturable cells, and total phospholipid fatty acids), activities (measured by radiotracer and enzyme assays), and community composition (measured by phospholipid fatty acid patterns and Biolog substrate usage). Core samples were collected at two sites 40 km apart in the Palouse region of eastern Washington State, near the towns of Washtucna and Winona. The Washtucna site was flooded multiple times during the Pleistocene by glacial outburst floods; the Winona site elevation is above flood stage. Sediments at the Washtucna site were collected from near surface to 14.9 m depth, where the sediment age was approximately 250 ka and the porewater age was 3700 years; sample intervals at the Winona site ranged from near surface to 38 m (sediment age: approximately 1 Ma; porewater age: 1200 years). Microbial abundance and activities declined with depth at both sites; however, even the deepest, oldest sediments showed evidence of viable microorganisms. Same-age sediments had equal quantities of microorganisms, but different community types. Differences in community makeup between the two sites can be attributed to differences in groundwater recharge and paleoflooding. Estimates of the microbial community age can be constrained by porewater and sediment ages. In the shallower sediments (<9 m at Washtucna, <12 m at Winona), the microbial communities are likely similar in age to the groundwater; thus, microbial succession has been influenced by recent transport of microorganisms from the surface. In the deeper sediments, the populations may be considerably older than the porewater ages, since microbial transport is severely restricted in unsaturated sediments. This is particularly true at the Winona site, which was never flooded. 相似文献

The influence of weather factors and the predator Doru luteipes Scudder density on Diatraea saccharalis (F.) egg predation was studied. Mortality of D. saccharalis eggs was determined by artificially infesting maize plots with egg masses at various times within each of two maize-growing seasons. Each egg cohort was monitored every 24-48 h to determine the fate of eggs, and predation rates were calculated. Doru luteipes were sampled every 7-10 d, and the mean air temperature, the minimum percentage of relative humidity, and rainfall accumulations were recorded during the egg exposure period. To test the effects of abiotic and biotic variables on egg predation, we used a generalized linear model (GLM). Diatraea saccharalis egg predation was negatively associated with rainfall, whereas D. luteipes density and mean temperature were positively correlated with mortality. The implications of these findings for the management of D. saccharalis are discussed. 相似文献

Background
Pertussis toxin (PT) is an exotoxin virulence factor produced by Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough. PT consists of an active subunit (S1) that ADP-ribosylates the alpha subunit of several mammalian G proteins, and a B oligomer (S2–S5) that binds glycoconjugate receptors on cells. PT appears to enter cells by endocytosis, and retrograde transport through the Golgi apparatus may be important for its cytotoxicity. A previous study demonstrated that proteolytic processing of S1 occurs after PT enters mammalian cells. We sought to determine whether this proteolytic processing of S1 is necessary for PT cytotoxicity. 相似文献26.

Background
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs, some of which are conserved in diverse plant genomes. Therefore, computational identification and further experimental validation of miRNAs from non-model organisms is both feasible and instrumental for addressing miRNA-based gene regulation and evolution. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important biofuel crop with publicly available expressed sequence tag and genomic survey sequence databases, but little is known about miRNAs and their targets in this highly polyploid species. 相似文献27.

The spatial pattern of the Río Cuarto Corn Disease vector, Delphacodes kuscheli (Hom., Delphacidae), was analysed in oat fields within the endemic area of the disease, during the growing seasons 1993 and 1994. The spatial pattern was analysed by fitting the probabilistic models Poisson and negative binomial and estimation of single-date and overall aggregation indices. The population of the different stage classes, sex, and wing forms showed a significant trend to aggregation as the negative binomial model fitted the observed frequency distributions in more than 78% of the cases (sampling dates) while the Poisson model fitted well in only 28% of cases or less. Single-date aggregation index, C A , ranged from 0.3 to 0.84. Overall (whole season) aggregation index, C A *, estimated through the Bliss and Owen's regression method, ranged from 0.18 (female adults) to 1.08 (nymphs I–II), indicating a moderate degree of aggregation compared with other planthopper species. There were no significant relationships between aggregation and population density. The minimum number of sampling units and critical lines for sequential sampling plans were calculated based on the estimation of C A * for the precision levels ( D ) 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. Even low degrees of aggregation, like that of adults, demand much more sampling effort than randomly distributed populations, particularly at high densities. General implications and limitations of the proposed sampling plans for monitoring the vector population abundance are discussed. 相似文献
