Plant community complexity in the arid valley of Minjiang River, southwestern China

Biocomplexity theory is becoming increasingly important in understanding natural vegetation dynamics and interrelation among all components of the ecosystem. In this study, based on the field investigation of plant species and environmental factors (altitude, microtopography, soil water content, and soil nutrients) in an arid valley of the upper reaches of Minjiang River, Sichuan Province, southwestern China, plant community complexity and its relationship with environmental factors, community diversity, species evenness and richness were studied. Both total and structural complexities of the communities showed a “high- low-high” tendency with the increase in altitude of the area, which meant that the complexity of communities was the highest at the sites of low and high altitude, whereas it was the lowest at the sites of intermediate altitude. It was found that the total community complexity had significant quadratic correlations with soil organic matter (SOM) content, total nitrogen (N), hydrolyzable N, soil water content, and available potassium (K), whereas it had no significant correlations with soil total K, total phosphorus (P), available P, and pH value. The total community complexity positively correlated with community diversity, species evenness and species richness, whereas the structural complexity negatively correlated with the community evenness. Of the two components of the total community complexity, namely, the structural complexity and the structural diversity, the structural complexity was more sensitive than the structural diversity to the changes of species in the community, which was not only related to the community evenness but also to the community richness. The relative contribution of both the structural complexity and the structural diversity to the total complexity would be different for different study areas or ecosystems.     

典型亚热带热分层水库秋季细菌群落垂直分布

水库在我国东南沿海地区是重要的饮用水水源地,对地区经济发展和社会稳定起到重要作用。选择亚热带地区典型的热分层水库——福建莆田东圳水库,于2011年秋季稳定分层期,以水体温度的垂直变化特征为依据进行分层采样。应用PCRDGGE和克隆测序的方法研究浮游细菌群落的垂直分布特征,利用多元统计分析揭示细菌群落与热分层水体理化指标之间的关系。结果显示:溶解氧、电导率、叶绿素a、总氮、氨氮及硝氮在上下层水体中的分布有显著差异,下层缺氧区细菌的ShannonWiener指数和DGGE条带数明显高于上层好氧区,表明东圳水库热分层水体中存在明显的物理、化学及生物分层现象。测序结果表明β-变形菌可能是东圳水库中占优势的细菌类群,统计结果提示溶解氧是显著影响细菌群落组成的环境因子。热分层水体的物理化学分层与水体细菌群落结构密切相关,提示水库生态学研究应对水体热分层给予重视。     

9R穿膜肽可增强P53抗肿瘤效果

为解决P53蛋白难以进入细胞内部发挥治疗作用的瓶颈难题.将p53基因融合插入带有9个精氨酸作为穿膜肽的表达载体中表达融合蛋白CPPs-P53,并与没有穿膜肽的P53蛋白进行比较,利用Western blotting方法检测蛋白的表达情况,MTT及Annexin V/PI双染法检测细胞生长抑制率及细胞凋亡率.Western blotting检测表明已成功在原核表达系统中表达融合蛋白CPPs-P53和P53蛋白,且蛋白纯度均已达到90％以上;MTT检测表明,P53蛋白对肿瘤细胞的生长虽有一定的抑制作用,但融合蛋白CPPs-P53与之相比,对肿瘤细胞生长的抑制效果显著增强,细胞生长抑制率有明显的提升,并且细胞生长抑制率呈现剂量依赖性;Annexin V/PI双染检测细胞凋亡情况也表明P53虽可以在一定程度上诱导肿瘤细胞的凋亡,但与P53蛋白相比较,融合蛋白CPPs-P53诱导的凋亡细胞明显增加,凋亡率是P53蛋白的2～3倍.由此说明在抑制肿瘤细胞的生长和诱导细胞凋亡方面,CPPs-P53比没有穿膜肽的P53蛋白的效果更显著.     

Electron acceptors for anaerobic oxidation of methane drive microbial community structure and diversity in mud volcanoes

Mud volcanoes (MVs) emit globally significant quantities of methane into the atmosphere, however, methane cycling in such environments is not yet fully understood, as the roles of microbes and their associated biogeochemical processes have been largely overlooked. Here, we used data from high‐throughput sequencing of microbial 16S rRNA gene amplicons from six MVs in the Junggar Basin in northwest China to quantify patterns of diversity and characterize the community structure of archaea and bacteria. We found anaerobic methanotrophs and diverse sulfate‐ and iron‐reducing microbes in all of the samples, and the diversity of both archaeal and bacterial communities was strongly linked to the concentrations of sulfate, iron and nitrate, which could act as electron acceptors in anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM). The impacts of sulfate/iron/nitrate on AOM in the MVs were verified by microcosm experiments. Further, two representative MVs were selected to explore the microbial interactions based on phylogenetic molecular ecological networks. The sites showed distinct network structures, key species and microbial interactions, with more complex and numerous linkages between methane‐cycling microbes and their partners being observed in the iron/sulfate‐rich MV. These findings suggest that electron acceptors are important factors driving the structure of microbial communities in these methane‐rich environments.     

保藏温度对厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥特性的影响

为考察保藏温度对厌氧氨氧化污泥颗粒特性的影响,同时优化保藏厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥温度参数,本试验首先通过HRT调控进水基质负荷培养厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥,并采用KHCO3和Na HCO3交替提供无机碳源。然后分别在–40℃、4℃、(27±4)℃室温和35℃条件下避光保藏。结果表明,Na HCO3可代替KHCO3作为厌氧氨氧化菌生长的无机碳源。相比于其他保藏温度,4℃保藏能够较好地维持生物量和生物活性,同时能较好地维持颗粒污泥的沉降性能、颗粒污泥和细胞结构完整性。在保藏过程中,一阶衰减指数模型可拟合厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥生物量及活性的衰减过程,衰减指数与胞溶程度正相关,而且生物量的衰减比活性的衰减更快。同时,颗粒污泥胞外聚合物中蛋白质与多糖的比值(PN/PS)和血红素不能有效指示保藏过程中颗粒污泥沉降性能和活性的变化,而生物活性与胞溶程度呈负相关。
