电击法介导的紫孢侧耳原生质体转化

使用基因脉冲导入仪成功地将糙皮侧耳DNA导入紫孢侧耳单核原生质体内,获得了具有"锁状联合”特征的双核转化菌株T₁,和T₂。转化率为8．2×10^-5,转化比为3．6％。酯酶同I酶分析结果表明,转化菌株除具有受体菌的酶带外,还存在供体菌的酶带,由此证明转化菌株确为紫孢侧耳和糙皮侧耳DNA重组的产物。转化菌株子实体形态也发生了变化。两菌株子实体均不释放孢子;T₁。菌柄中生,T₂成熟子实体菌盖中部易长出菌丝。

糙皮侧耳原基期差异表达基因分析

为解析糙皮侧耳原基期与菌丝期差异表达的基因,本研究以原基期cDNA为检测子（tester）、双核菌丝期cDNA为驱赶子（driver）,采用抑制性消减杂交法（suppression subtractive hybridization,SSH）构建了糙皮侧耳SSH cDNA文库。菌液PCR验证SSH cDNA文库插入cDNA片段后,挑取了2 055个差异转化子,差异转化子经3次反向Northern杂交筛选,得423个信号差异显著的克隆;阳性克隆测序后,经NCBI数据库Blastn和Blastx比对,共得206条差异表达序列（expressed sequence tag,EST）,重复序列去除后,有46个基因参与了细胞急救和防御、能量代谢、转录和蛋白调控、膜蛋白和信号转导,18个基因编码未知功能的推定蛋白,5个无任何同源性的新基因。挑取10个差异表达基因进行半定量RT-PCR,发现这些序列在原基期的表达水平显著高于菌丝期。结果表明,本研究成功构建了糙皮侧耳原基期与菌丝期SSH cDNA文库,为进一步分离糙皮侧耳生长发育相关基因并研究糙皮侧耳的发育机制奠定了基础。     

Degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons by white-rot fungi in a historically contaminated soil

Phanerochaete chrysosporium NRRL 6361 and Pleurotus pulmonarius CBS 664.97 were tested for their ability to grow under nonsterile conditions and to degrade various aromatic hydrocarbons in an aged contaminated soil that also contained high concentrations of heavy metals. After 24 days fungal incubation, carbon-CO2 liberated, an indicator of microbial activity, reached a plateau. At the end of the incubation time (30 days), fungal colonization was clearly visible and was confirmed by ergosterol and cell organic carbon determinations. In spite of unfavorable pH (around 7.4) and the presence of heavy metals, both fungi produced Mn-peroxidase activity. In contrast, laccase and aryl-alcohol oxidase were detected only in the soil treated with P. pulmonarius CBS 664.97 and lignin-peroxidase in that with P. chrysosporium NRRL 6361. No lignin-modifying enzyme activities were present in non-inoculated soil incubated for 30 days (control microcosm). Regardless of the fungus employed, a total removal of naphtalene, tetrachlorobenzene, and dichloroaniline isomers, diphenylether and N-phenyl-1-naphtalenamine, was observed. Significant release of chloride ions was also observed in fungal-treated soil, in comparison with that recorded in the control microcosm. Both fungi led to a significant decrease in soil toxicity, as assessed using two different soil contact assays, including the Lepidium sativum L. germination test and the Collembola mortality test.

Purification and characterization of a new ribonuclease from fruiting bodies of the oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus.

A ribonuclease (RNase), possessing an N-terminal sequence disparate from those of ribonucleases from other mushrooms and previously isolated Pleuotus ostreatus RNases, was purified from the fruiting bodies of the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. The N-terminal sequence of Pleurotus ostreatus RNase did not manifest homology even to a previously reported RNase from the same mushroom. The ribonuclease was adsorbed on CM-Sepharose and Mono S. It exhibited a molecular mass of 12 kDa in both sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration on Superdex 75. The ribonuclease displayed an activity of 11490 U/mg on yeast tRNA. The highest ribonuclease activity was exhibited toward poly U, followed by poly A and poly C. No activity was shown toward poly G. The optimal pH for its activity was 7 and the optimal temperature was 55 degrees C. It inhibited cell-free translation in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate with an IC50 of 240 nM.     

Research on streptococci in the UK

Pleurotus florida produced high amounts of laccase (4.60 U/ml) in malt extract broth after 12 days' growth under stationary conditions. The production of laccase was semi-constitutive. Hyperlaccase mutants ofP. florida were obtained through mutagenesis of mycelial protoplasts usingN-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (50 g/ml) for 2 min. Three hyperlaccase mutants were selected showing growth and enzyme production responses similar to the parent.
