<Emphasis Type="Italic">Dacryoscyphus chrysochilus</Emphasis>, a new staurosporous anamorph with cupulate conidiomata from China and with affinities to the Dacrymycetales (Basidiomycota)

An anamorphic fungus forming laterally attached, cupulate, gelatinous, hyaline to white conidiomata with a golden yellow rim producing 2–4-armed stauroconidia from monoblastic conidiogenous cells was collected on dead twigs of Rhododendron sp. in southwestern China. Ultrastructure of the septal pore and comparative analysis of the 5 region of the nuclear large subunit of the ribosomal RNA gene sequence revealed a phylogenetic relationship with members of the Dacrymycetales. Morphological studies and comparison with similar anamorphic fungi indicate the novelty of the taxon, and the new genus and species Dacryoscyphus chrysochilus is proposed.

Isolation and Phylogenetic Analysis of Halophilic Archaeon AJ6

Halophilic archaeon A J6 was isolated and purified from the Altun Mountain National Nature Reserve of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Strain AJ6 is a Gram-negative rod whose size is 0.2-0.6 by 1.6-4.2 μm,wherein a few cells are globular.The optimum salt concentration for its growth is 20% NaC1 and 0.6% Mg2+,and the optimum pH is 6.0-7.0.Morphological,physiological,and biochemical characteristics of strain AJ6 were observed.The 16S rRNA encoding gene (16S rDNA)sequence of strain A J6 was amplified by PCR,and its nucteotide sequence was determined subsequently."Clustalw"and"PHYLIP"software bags were used to analyze the 16S rDNA sequence;the homology was compared,and then the phylogenetic tree was established.The results indicate that strain AJ6 is a novel species of the genus Natrinema.The GenBank accession number of the 16S rDNA sequences of strain AJ6 is AY277584.

松山自然保护区森林群落的数量分类和排序

根据68个森林群落样方数据,采用双向指示种分析(TW INSPAN)方法,对松山自然保护区的森林群落进行分类和采用除趋势对应分析(DCA)、典范对应分析(CCA)方法进行排序。结果表明:(1)TW INSPAN将该区的森林群落分为13类型;(2)样方的DCA排序及样方和优势种的CCA排序较好地揭示了该区森林群落的分布格局与环境梯度的关系;CCA第一轴明显地反映出森林群落的海拔梯度、枯枝落叶层厚度和土壤深度变化,沿CCA第一轴从左到右,海拔逐渐升高,枯枝落叶层越厚和土壤越深;第二轴与海拔高度和坡度成正相关,而与土壤紧实度成负相关。其中海拔梯度是环境因子中对森林群落起决定性作用的因子。(3)与DCA相比,CCA的排序轴更有利于生态意义的解释,后者能同时反映样方间在种类组成上及环境因子组成上的相似性,表现在排序图中样方较集中,群落间的界线变得较模糊,因此如果排序同分类结合使用,DCA的效果要好于CCA。(4)TW INSPAN分类与DCA和CCA排序的结果,同时表明了该地区森林群落的垂直分布格局。

Molecular diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria from the Tibetan Plateau, China

To understand the composition and structure of nitrogen-fixing bacterial communities from the Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve on the Tibetan Plateau, the molecular diversity of nifH genes from soil obtained at six sites was examined using a PCR-based cloning approach. Six samples were collected from different regions at an altitude of 3907-4824 m above sea level, and a principal component analysis (PCA) showed that they had different biogeochemical properties. A total of 446 clones and 162 unique RFLP patterns were found. PCA of the RFLP patterns and their biogeochemical parameters showed that the content of soil organic carbon (C), total nitrogen (N) and altitude were the most important factors affecting the nitrogen-fixing bacteria community. Fifty-nine nifH clones were sequenced and their nucleotide identity varied from 64% to 98%, subdivisible into four groups in our phylogenetic tree. Some of the clone sequences were related to nifH genes belonging to four phylogenetic subdivisions (alpha, beta, gamma and delta subclasses of the Proteobacteria), while most of the clones were closely related to the genes of the uncultured bacteria. The tree also showed that the sequence distributions were not clearly related to the sample sites.
