自养黄杆菌合成羟基丁酸和羟基戊酸共聚体的发酵研究

采用本实验室从土壤中分离到的一株自养黄杆菌进行了羟基丁酸和羟基戊酸共聚体〔P(HB-co-HV)〕的发酵试验。实验结果表明,该菌株是自养黄杆菌葡萄糖运输突变株,可以葡萄糖、果糖、蔗糖、麦芽糖、乙酸盐、乳酸盐和苹果酸盐作为唯一碳源,尤以葡萄糖和果糖效果最佳。硫酸铵、氯化铵和蛋白胨等不同氮源不影响其生长,却影响细胞中P(HB-co-HV)的含量和P(HB-co-HV)中HV/HB的比例。应用两阶段控制方式,经42h的补料分批发酵,细胞浓度达34.9g·L~(-1),P(HB-co-HV)浓度达25.28g·L~(-1)。细胞和P(HB-co-HV)生产速率系数分别为0.83g·L~(-1)”·h~(-1)和0.61g·L~(-1)·h~(-1)。以基质为基准的细胞得率系数(Yx/s)、产物得率系数(Yp/s)和以干细胞为基准的产物得率系数(Yp/x)分别为0.283(g/g)、0.174(g/g)和0.73(g/g)。改变培养基中碳氮源组分可将P(HB-co-HV)中HB的含量调节在24％～78％之间。     

Perturbation of syntrophic isobutyrate and butyrate degradation with formate and hydrogen

The effect of formate and hydrogen on isomerization and syntrophic degradation of butyrate and isobutyrate was investigated using a defined methanogenic culture, consisting of syntrophic isobutyrate-butyrate degrader strain IB, Methanobacterium formicicum strain T1N, and Methanosarcina mazeii strain T18. Formate and hydrogen were used to perturb syntrophic butyrate and isobutyrate degradation by the culture. The reversible isomerization between isobutyrate and butyrate was inhibited by the addition of either formate or hydrogen, indicating that the isomerization was coupled with syntrophic butyrate degradation for the culture studied. Energetic analysis indicates that the direction of isomerization between isobutyrate and butyrate is controlled by the ratio between the two acids, and the most thermodynamically favorable condition for the degradation of butyrate or isobutyrate in conjunction with the isomerization is at almost equal concentrations of isobutyrate and butyrate. The degradation of isobutyrate and butyrate was completely inhibited in the presence of a high hydrogen partial pressure (>2000 Pa) or a measurable level of formate (10 muM or higher). Significant formate (more than 1 mM) was detected during the perturbation with hydrogen (17 to 40 kPa). Resumption of butyrate and isobutyrate degradation was related to the removal of formate. Energetic analysis supported that formate was another electron carrier, besides hydrogen, during syntrophic isobutyrate-butyrate degradation by this culture. (c) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

The Broom of the Sorcerer''s Apprentice: The Fine Structure of a Chromosomal Region Causing Reproductive Isolation between Two Sibling Species of Drosophila

How many genes contribute to reproductive isolation between closely related species? We determined the number of genes located in the 9D-12B region of the Drosophila mauritiana X chromosome that cause hybrid male sterility in a D. simulans background. Previous low resolution studies suggested that a single hybrid sterility factor was associated with this region. In this study, by taking advantage of a cluster of visible and DNA markers, we identified three D. mauritiana factors in this region and then subjected one of them to detailed analysis. This factor again turned out to be comprised of three factors; one of which, mapped to within 200 kb, may in fact be two factors. The title refers to this exercise of splitting sterile introgressions into ever smaller ones, each of which retains partial or full sterility effects. In a region representing a mere 3% of the Drosophila genome, no fewer than six loci of hybrid sterility were identified between two sibling species that have not shown clear divergence at the molecular level. These results suggest that levels of genetic divergence between closely related species may be quite high for functionally important traits even when the opposite is true for randomly chosen loci.     

腐殖酸对小麦抗旱性的生理效应

在干旱气候条件下,喷施腐殖酸钠（ＨＡ）、黄腐酸钠（ＦＡ）可降低土壤水分损耗,提高小麦叶片持水能力,叶片细胞超氧物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）、过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）活性明显提高,丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）含量和电解质渗出率明显降低,可减缓叶绿素降解,增强光合速率和光合产物积累,延缓植株衰老,小麦抗旱性增强,千粒重增加．     

粒粒橙饮料的分层与汁胞萎瘪褪色的初步研究

本文研究了热因子对琼脂悬浮稳定性的影响,分析了造成汁胞萎瘪褪色的原因,并提出了解决的办法。认为只要琼脂的加热时间不要太长,分层现象是比较容易解决的。海藻酸钙凝胶薄膜和含油溶剂预处理能很好地防止汁胞的萎瘪破碎,但操作不当容易造成褪色。     

肿瘤坏死因子－α（TNF－α）对常见呼吸道病毒的抑制作用

用人重组肿瘤坏死因子－α（Ｔｕｍｏｒｎｅｃｒｏｓｉｓｆａｃｔｏｒ－α,ＴＮＦ－α）和人天然α干扰素（Ｉｎｔｅｒｆｅｒｏｎ－α－,ＩＦＮ－α）在人胚胎肺纤维母细胞（ＨＥＦ）和Ｈｅｐ－２细胞系上对常见呼吸道病毒所致细胞病变抑制进行比较观察。病毒包括不同型别的腺病毒５株,单疱病毒Ⅰ型（ＨＳＶ－Ｉ）１株,鼻病毒１株,仙台病毒１株,ＶＳＶ１株。结果提示ＴＮＦ－α和ＩＦＮ－α均具有广谱抗病毒活性。ＴＮＦ－α的抑毒作用能被ＴＮＦ－α申抗和ＩＦＮ－β单抗完全去除,被ＩＦＮ－α单抗部分去除ＴＮＦ－α的抗病毒效应。ＴＮＦ－－α中和试验的结果提示：ＴＮＦ抗病毒活性仍为ＩＦＮ－β诱生所介导。
