酸性水和投加铝、钙对鲢鱼早期发育和鳃超微结构的影响

在实验室条件下,研究了酸性水和投加铝、钙对鲢鱼胚胎孵化和鱼苗存活以及幼鱼鳃超微结构的影响。pH4.0引起所有胚胎在24小时内死亡,暴露于pH4.5—6.0的胚胎孵化率和暴露于pH4.0—6.0的5—15日龄鱼苗存活率随pH值上升而增高。投加0.5mg Al~(3+)/L使在酸性pH暴露条件下的胚胎孵化率和鱼苗存活率进一步降低。投加3.0mg Ca~(2+)/L可显著提高暴露于pH4.5和5.0的胚胎孵化率;投加2.0mg Ca~(2+)/L可在一定程度上提高暴露于pH4.5和5.0的鱼苗存活率。幼苗经pH4.5暴露8小时后出现严重的鳃超微结构损害;投加1.0mg Al~(3+)/L使鳃结构损害加剧;投加5.0mg Ca~(2+)/L可明显缓解酸性水对鳃的损害。     

Production of 2,3-butanediol in a membrane bioreactor with cell recycle

Summary The production of 2,3-butanediol by Enterobacter aerogenes DSM 30053 was studied in a cell recycle system with a microfiltration module. Emphasis was put on the influence of oxygen supply, cell residence time, dilution rate, and pH. Under optimal conditions a productivity as high as 14.6 g butanediol + acetoin/l per hour was achieved with a product concentration of 54 g/l and a product yield of 88%. This productivity is three times higher than that of an ordinary continuous culture. The achievable final product concentration of a cell recycle system was limited by the accumulation of the inhibiting by-product acetic acid, which increased very rapidly at low dilution rate. To maximize product concentration a fed-batch fermentation was carried out with stepwise pH adaption at high cell density. A final product concentration of 110 g/l was obtained with a productivity of 5.4 g/l per hour and a yield of 97%.

Potassium permanganate as an in situ probe for B-Z and Z-Z junctions.

The availability of DNA structural probes that can be applied to living cells is essential for the analysis of biological functions of unusual DNA structures adopted in vivo. We have developed a chemical probe assay to detect and quantitate left-handed Z-DNA structures in recombinant plasmids in growing E. coli cells. Potassium permanganate selectively reacts with B-Z or Z-Z junction regions in supercoiled plasmids harbored in the cells. Restriction enzyme recognition sites located at these junctions are not cleaved by the corresponding endonuclease after modification with KMnO4. This inhibition of cleavage allows the determination of the relative amounts of B- and Z-forms of the cloned inserts inside the cell. We have successfully applied this method to monitor the extent of Z-DNA formation in E. coli as a function of the growth phase and mutated topoisomerase or gyrase activities. The assay can in principle be used for any unusual DNA structure that contains a restriction recognition site inside or near the structural alteration. It can be a useful tool to analyze in vivo correlations between DNA structure and gene regulatory events.     

Climate and natural production of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) in Xishuangbanna,southern part of Yunnan province,China

According to the author's and his collaborators' investigations, the climate influences the growth of rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) in Xishuangbanna, the southern part of Yunnan Province, China, in at least four aspects: (1) The yield of latex per tapping and the final yield of dry rubber per tree per year or per unit area per year; (2) the growth rate, as expressed by increment of girth in cm; (3) the survival during the over-wintering period; (4) the initiation or suppression of certain diseases; In this paper the author would like to describe the influence of climatic elements on yield of latex and on survival during the over-wintering period. As for the other two aspects, only general comments are given.     

血友病患者血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒抗体检测

对浙江省1982～1984年注射了美国产浓缩Ⅶ因子制剂的18例血友病患者,用酶联免疫吸附法(ELTSA)检测了血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒(LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ)抗体,发现4例阳性,并经免疫荧光试验和Western印迹法证实。2例应用了国产浓缩Ⅷ因子者抗体阴性。一例从美国来华旅游死于艾滋病者,LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ抗体阳性。本研究证明,LAV/HTLVⅢ病毒巳通过美国生产的Ⅷ因子制剂传入中国。     

百日咳杆菌去内毒素及保护性抗原的纯化

内毒素(Endotoxin,简称ET)是百日咳全菌苗(Bordetellapertussis vaccine)产生副作用的主要毒素之一,且不易除去。现有的分离方法,如蔗糖密度梯度离心法,较繁琐,成本高。本文采用Sepha-cryl S-300凝胶层折法可以简便有效的去除大部分内毒素。初步毒素试验结果表明:已达到日本生物制品规格的要求。两种保护性抗原FHA和LPF-HA也得到进一步分离纯化,为今后研制高效的百日咳组分菌苗提供了实验条件。
