采用大田种植和盆栽方法,分别研究了不同的立地类型(平地、阳坡、阴坡和坡地)和土壤类型(砂土、壤土和黏土)对产自河南省方城县的"裕丹参"(Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge)生长和有效成分含量的影响效应.结果表明:在不同立地条件下,"裕丹参"的各项生长和根系产量指标以及根系中丹参酮ⅡA和丹酚酸B含量均有明显差异.随种植时间的延长,平地、阳坡和坡地种植的"裕丹参"单株地上部干质量均逐渐降低,而阴坡种植的单株地上部干质量先升高后逐渐降低;但在不同立地类型下,单株根系干质量和丹酚酸B含量均随种植时间的延长逐渐升高,而丹参酮ⅡA含量则先降低后升高.采收期,平地种植的"裕丹参"的单株地上部干质量、单株根系干质量和鲜质量以及根系鲜产量均最高,平地和坡地种植的"裕丹参"根直径较大,阳坡种植的"裕丹参"根长最长,阳坡和坡地种植的"裕丹参"单株根数、根系中丹参酮ⅡA和丹酚酸B含量也较高,而阴坡种植的"裕丹参"的各项生长和根系产量指标以及丹参酮ⅡA和丹酚酸B含量均最低.在不同类型土壤中,"裕丹参"的根系性状和根系中丹参酮ⅡA和丹酚酸B含量总体上差异显著,其中,用砂土种植的"裕丹参"的根直径、根长、单株根系鲜质量和干质量以及根系中丹参酮ⅡA和丹酚酸B含量均最高,但单株根数最少;用黏土种植的"裕丹参"根系生长总体最差,但单株根数最多;用壤土种植的"裕丹参"根系中丹参酮ⅡA和丹酚酸B含量则最低.综合研究结果显示:"裕丹参"适宜种植于砂土的坡地或阳坡.     

Engineered Pentafunctional Minicellulosome for Simultaneous Saccharification and Ethanol Fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Several yeast strains have been engineered to express different cellulases to achieve simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of lignocellulosic materials. However, successes in these endeavors were modest, as demonstrated by the relatively low ethanol titers and the limited ability of the engineered yeast strains to grow using cellulosic materials as the sole carbon source. Recently, substantial enhancements to the breakdown of cellulosic substrates have been observed when lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) were added to traditional cellulase cocktails. LPMOs are reported to cleave cellulose oxidatively in the presence of enzymatic electron donors such as cellobiose dehydrogenases. In this study, we coexpressed LPMOs and cellobiose dehydrogenases with cellobiohydrolases, endoglucanases, and β-glucosidases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These enzymes were secreted and docked onto surface-displayed miniscaffoldins through cohesin-dockerin interaction to generate pentafunctional minicellulosomes. The enzymes on the miniscaffoldins acted synergistically to boost the degradation of phosphoric acid swollen cellulose and increased the ethanol titers from our previously achieved levels of 1.8 to 2.7 g/liter. In addition, the newly developed recombinant yeast strain was also able to grow using phosphoric acid swollen cellulose as the sole carbon source. The results demonstrate the promise of the pentafunctional minicellulosomes for consolidated bioprocessing by yeast.     

豫西黄土高原农作区鼠类群落动态：时空尺度格局的初步分析

本文分析了豫西农业生态系统中鼠类群落局部空间尺度的短期动态格局。在区域尺度上,该群落为棕色田鼠＋大仓鼠型,群落多样性与丰富度和均匀度都有显著的正相关,丰富度的作用大于均匀度的作用。由于资源分布的斑块性,群落优势种和次优势种对环境变异的季节性反应不同,故群落的时空格局具有明显的变化。在农田中,群落在秋季分化为棕色田鼠＋大仓鼠亚群落型和大仓鼠＋棕色田鼠型,后者的生境斑块为单一的玉米田和油葵田;在作物轮作的格局下,群落多样性与丰富度和均匀度都有显著的正相关。在果园中,无论果树树龄和季节的变化,棕色田鼠的多度总是大于大仓鼠,即群落格局是不变的,而群落多样性与丰富度和多度之间均无显著的相关性。然而,灌溉可使大仓鼠与棕色田鼠的数量关系发生逆转,因此灌溉不仅影响果园中鼠类群落格局的分化,而且也将影响到农田中的这种分化。在一年弃耕地中,群落格局从夏季开始由棕色田鼠＋大仓鼠亚群落型转化为大仓鼠＋棕色田鼠亚群落型;在第３年末演替结束时,多年生植物取代一年生植物成为优势种,大仓鼠＋棕色田鼠群落格局则趋于稳定。在此过程中,群落多样性和丰富度与均匀度均无显著的相关性。本研究结果还表明,异质性可导致农作区鼠类群落的多样性     

The thymic stromal cell line MTSC4 induced thymocyte apoptosis in a non-MHC-restricted manner

Mouse thymic stromal cell line 4 (MTSC4) is one of the stromal cell lines established in our laboratory. While losing the characteristics of epithelial cells, they express some surface markers shared with thymic dendritic cells (TDCs). To further study the biological functions of these cells, we compared the capability of MTSC4 with TDCs in the induction of thymocyte apoptosis, using thymic reaggregation culture system. Apoptosis of thymocytes induced by MTSC4 and TDCs was measured by Annexin V and PI staining and analyzed by flow cytometry. We found that MTSC4 selectively augmented the apoptosis of CD4^ 8^ (DP) thymocytes. This effect was Fas/FasL independent and could not be blocked by antibodies to MHC class I and class II molecules. In addition, MTSC4 enhanced the apoptosis of DP thymocytes from different strains of mice, which implies that MTSC4-induced thymocyte apoptosis is not mediated by the TCR recognition of self peptide/MHC molecules. In contrast to MTSC4, thymocyte apoptosis induced by TDCs was MHC-restricted. Thus, MHC-independent fashion of stromal-DP thymocyte interaction may be one of the ways to induce thymocyte apoptosis in thymus. Our study has also shown that the interaction of MTSC4 stromal cells and thymocytes is required for the induction of thymocyte apoptosis.

从滑桃树(Trewia nudiflora L.)的种壳中分离到5个木脂素,其中4个是新木脂素,它们的结构分别鉴定为:9'-nethyl americanol A(1)、9'-nethyl isoamericanol A(2)、9'-nethyl americanol A(3)、9'-nethyl americanol A(4)和americanin(5);并制备了化合物5的两个乙酰化产物3,4-diacetyl americanin(5a)和3,4,9-triacetyl americanin(5b).以羧苄青霉素钠盐、硫酸链霉素和利福平为阳性对照,对这7个化合物进行了抗细菌的活性检测:化合物4和5对革兰氏阳性菌金黄色葡萄球菌(Staphylococcus aureus)和革兰氏阴性菌结核分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium tubercrlosis)有明显的抑制菌作用,其中化合物4对两种菌的最低抑制浓度均为40μg/Ml,化合物5对两种菌的最低抑制浓度为100μg/Ml,但是化合物5的两个乙酰化产物在每纸片200μg的剂量下没有表现出抑菌活性.     

不同植被类型对土壤水蚀的影响

不同植被类型对土壤水蚀的影响因子是计算土壤水蚀速率以及选择适当土地利用方式的基本参数.本文以土壤侵蚀模型中的植被因子(C因子)为指标,研究不同植被类型对土壤水蚀的影响.根据6个水土保持试验项目33个小区共195个小区年的资料,计算了剌槐、柠条、沙棘、沙棘-杨树,沙棘-油松、沙打旺、红豆草、苜蓿和草木樨等9种林草植被因子值.林地植被因子介于0.004到0.164之间,以刺槐林的C值最低.草地植被因子介于0.071到0.377之间,以第一年的草木樨C值为最高.定量对比说明林草植被的水土保持效益明显优于农作物.本项研究结果可以用于定量比较不同植被类型覆盖下的土壤流失速率,对于北方农牧交错带退耕还林还草政策的实施具有参考价值.     

Effects of <Emphasis Type="Italic">TFAR19</Emphasis> gene on the growth and biorheological properties of mouse erythroleukemia cell line MEL

Using the method of gene transfection with liposome, we obtained the mouse erythroleukemia cell line MEL-TF19, which stably carries TFAR19, a novel apoptosis-related gene. The expression of TFAR19 was detected by Western blot. Growth curve and flow cytometry analysis showed that after being transfected with TFAR19 gene, the growth of MEL-TF19 is suppressed and its apoptosis is accelerated because of the serum deprivation. Our biorheological study indicated that in the apoptotic process, compared with MEL cells, MEL-TF19 cells exhibit larger osmotic fragility, lower cell surface charge density, increased elastic modulus K1 which is inversely proportional to cells' maximal deformation ability, obviouslydiminished surface viscosity μ, with elastic modulus K2 having no distinct changes. The above results provided some bases for recognizing the function of TFAR19 completely from the viewpoint of biorheology.
