葡萄糖和木糖双底物生物转化生产2,3-丁二醇和氢气的代谢计量分析

以Klebsiella pneumoniae利用葡萄糖和木糖双底物生物转化生产2,3-丁二醇和氢气过程为研究对象,对其进行代谢计量分析。分析结果显示:2,3-丁二醇和氢气相对于底物葡萄糖和木糖的质量收率依赖于还原能力NADH2氧化磷酸化的分率(δ)。当δ=27时,即在总还原能力NADH2中有27mol NADH2被氧化磷酸化,剩余部分用来产生氢气,呼吸商为14时,2,3-丁二醇和氢气的最优质量收率分别为50%和0.8%;而当δ=1,即还原能力NADH2全部被氧化磷酸化、不产生氢气,呼吸商为4时,2,3-丁二醇的质量收率为37.5%;2,3-丁二醇和氢气的质量收率与底物中葡萄糖和木糖的比值无关。而氢气的摩尔收率与底物中葡萄糖和木糖的比值相关,当底物全部是葡萄糖或木糖时,其最优摩尔收率分别为71%和60%。该分析结果为葡萄糖和木糖双底物生物转化生产2,3-丁二醇过程的实验研究奠定了理论基础。     

Pleistocene climatic cycling drives intra‐specific diversification in the intermediate horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus affinis) in Southern China

The repeated formation and loss of land‐bridges during the Pleistocene have had lasting impacts on population genetic structure. In the tropics, where island populations persisted through multiple glacial cycles, alternating periods of isolation and contact are expected to have driven population and taxonomic divergence. Here, we combine mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data with microsatellites to dissect the impact of Pleistocene climate change on intra‐specific diversification in the horseshoe bat Rhinolophus affinis. This taxon shows considerable morphological and acoustic variation: two parapatric subspecies (himalayanus and macrurus) occur on mainland China and a third (hainanus) on Hainan Island. Our phylogeographic reconstruction and coalescent analyses suggest the island subspecies formed from an ancestral population of himalayanus via two colonization events c. 800 000 years before present. R. a. hainanus then recolonized the mainland, forming macrurus and thus a secondary contact zone with himalayanus. Finally, macrurus recolonized Hainan following the LGM. We found that all three biological events corresponded to known periods of land‐bridge formation. Evidence of introgression was detected between macrurus and both its sister taxa, with geographical proximity rather than length of separation appearing to be the biggest determinant of subsequent genetic exchange. Our study highlights the important role of climate‐mediated sea level changes have had in shaping current processes and patterns of population structure and taxonomic diversification.     

Evolution of the population structure of Venturia inaequalis,the apple scab fungus,associated with the domestication of its host

Evaluating the impact of plant domestication on the population structure of the associated pathogens provides an opportunity to increase our understanding of how and why diseases emerge. Here, we investigated the evolution of the population structure of the apple scab fungus Venturia inaequalis in response to the domestication of its host. Inferences were drawn from multilocus microsatellite data obtained from samples collected on (i) the Central Asian Malus sieversii, the main progenitor of apple, (ii) the European crabapple, Malus sylvestris, a secondary progenitor of apple, and (iii) the cultivated apple, Malus×domestica, in orchards from Europe and Central Asia. Using clustering methods, we identified three distinct populations: (i) a large European population on domesticated and wild apples, (ii) a large Central Asian population on domesticated and wild apples in urban and agricultural areas, and (iii) a more geographically restricted population in M. sieversii forests growing in the eastern mountains of Kazakhstan. Unique allele richness and divergence time estimates supported a host‐tracking co‐evolutionary scenario in which this latter population represents a relict of the ancestral populations from which current populations found in human‐managed habitats were derived. Our analyses indicated that the domestication of apple induced a significant change in the genetic differentiation of populations of V. inaequalis in its centre of origin, but had little impact on its population dynamics and mating system. We discuss how the structure of the apple‐based agrosystem may have restricted changes in the population structure of the fungus in response to the domestication of its host.

日本沼虾两种抗脂多糖因子的特性研究

为了研究抗脂多糖因子ALFs在日本沼虾先天性免疫中的功能作用, 研究从日本沼虾中克隆了2种抗脂多糖因子MnALF1、MnALF2。MnALF1 cDNA 全长1008 bp, 编码121个氨基酸; MnALF2 cDNA 全长836 bp, 编码124个氨基酸。这2种氨基酸均包含有一个信号肽序列和一个LPS结合位点, 并且在结合位点的两端(N-端和C-端)都有2个保守的半胱氨酸残基。这2种MnALFs与之前发现的甲壳动物的ALFs是非常相似的。qRT-PCR结果显示MnALFs在所有被检测的组织中均有表达。其中MnALF1主要在心脏和小肠内表达, 而MnALF2则主要在血细胞和肝胰脏中表达。在用嗜水气单胞菌刺激之后发现2种MnALFs在心脏、小肠、血细胞、肝胰脏中都呈现出明显的时间依赖表达模式(MnALF1在刺激之后呈现出先减少后增加的趋势, 之后分别在不同组织的不同时间点达到最大值; 然而, 对于MnALF2, 在心脏和小肠中先减少后增加, 在血细胞和肝胰脏中呈现出先增加后减少, 最后都在24h达到最大值)。结果提示这2种MnALF具有不同的组织特异性, 并且在细菌侵染的免疫防御中起着重要的保护作用。

力学载荷对骨整合影响的动物实验

植入体的骨整合使植入体与骨组织间形成牢固的接合, 可承受功能性生理载荷. 加载时间是决定植入体骨整合进程的关键因素. 然而, 关于初期载荷是否影响骨整合的进程, 或者, 无载荷愈合期是否可以缩短等问题现在还不清楚. 本文通过动物实验, 研究在骨愈合初期, 外部载荷如何影响骨整合的进程. 将钛植入体侧向植入山羊胫骨, 从术后4周开始, 对植入体加不同大小轴向载荷. 加载两周时, 取下连带植入体的胫骨; 设计专门的“拔出”力测试实验, 以检测不同分组(包括加载组和无载荷组)植入体的拔出力、骨-植入体界面的剪切强度. 并采用组织学染色、能量色散谱(energy dispersive spectroscopy, EDS)和扫描电子显微镜(scanning electron microscope, SEM)分析骨-植入体界面特征, 以评价骨整合状态. 结果表明, 术后4周时, 骨-植入体界面没有良好的骨整合, 在无载荷组样本的骨-植入体界面处可发现成纤维样组织, 而轴向10 N加载组样本的骨-植入体界面则发生良好的骨整合. 这表明, 植入手术后一定的载荷可以有利于骨整合的发生. 本研究提示, 术后初期的载荷会影响植入体骨整合的进程, 而适宜的载荷可缩短术后骨整合发生的时间.
