Molecular replacement studies on crystal structure of allophycocyanin from red algaePorphyra yezoensis

Using the crystal structure of allophycocyanin from cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis (APC-SP) as a search model, the crystal structure of allophycocyanin from red algae Porphyra yezoensis (APC-PY) has been studied by molecular replacement methods. The APC-PY crystals (Form 3) belong to the space group of R32, cell dimensions a = b = 10.53 nm, c = 18.94 nm, α =β = 90°, γ= 120°; there is one αβ monomer in each crystallographic asymmetric unit in the cell. The translation function search gave a unique peak with a correlation coefficient (Cc) of 67.0% and an R-factor of 36.1 % for reflection data from 1.0 to 0.4 nm. Using the results by molecular replacement, the initial model of APC-PY was built, and the coincidence of the chromophore in APC-PY initial model with its 2Fo-FC OMIT map further confirms the results by molecular replacement.     

元宝枫苗木的水力结构特征

在温室条件下,控制不同干旱梯度,用改良的冲洗法测定了4年生元宝枫苗木的水力结构参数．研究表明,随着小枝水势的降低,水力结构各参数随茎段功能木质部直径的变化可以用不同的方程来模拟;导水率的大小受茎段所在区域的影响,限速区的导水率明显低于非限速区,限速区的存在对苗木个体的生存竞争有利．导水率、比导率和叶比导率都和功能木质部直径和小枝水势呈明显的正相关．较粗茎段的叶比导率远高于多次分枝的未端细小分枝,有利于苗木在干旱时保存那些光合积累较大的器官．在落叶之前,相同直径枝条的胡伯尔值随小枝水势的变化很小,说明苗木水分胁迫主要源于木质部空穴和栓塞．     

生态环境需水量研究进展

主要从概念、分类以及计算方法等方面论述了生态环境需水量的国内外研究动态．目前．国外对生态环境需水量的研究主要集中在河流方面,并已形成一套比较成熟的计算方法体系;国内则主要集中于水资源缺乏的西北内陆河流域和黄河、海滦河流域的陆地和河流方面的研究．总的来说,国内外对生态环境需水量的研究已经取得了一定的成果,但仍然存在着许多尚待进一步研究的问题：(1)强化生态环境需水量的基础理论(概念、分类和计算方法等)研究;(2)加强对生态环境需水量的内在与外在影响因素及保障生态环境需水量的途径与措施等方面的研究;(3)拓展生态需水量的应用性研究等。

Estimation of soil algal biomass in salinized irrigation land: a comparison of culture dilution and chlorophyll a extraction methods

Two representative methods for quantitative estimation of soil algae, the culture dilution method and chlorophyll a extraction, were compared using soil samples collected from irrigation land in the flood plain of the River Ili, Kazakhstan, where the distribution of soil algae had been studied in the previous year. The estimate by the culture dilution method was almost the same as in the previous year, except for one site, which was enclosed by shrubs of sakusaul, Haloxylon aphyllum (Minkw.) Iljin. The important role of wind in transport of airborne algal cells was pointed out. There was a significant correlation (p<0.001) between the logarithm of the number of colonies by the culture dilution method andthe logarithm of the concentration of chlorophyll a, when data from all samples were analyzed. However, no significant correlation was observed with the data of cropland sites alone. Furthermore, the seasonal variations of both values at each site did not necessarily agree with each other. One reason for the inconsistency may have been the over estimation of chlorophyll a caused by inclusion of litter from vascular plants. Other reasons may relate to differences between the methodologies. The density of soil algae estimated by culture dilution reflects the algal biomass in a certain previous period of time. Therefore, it is suggested that the method is suitable for spatial, but not for seasonal studies. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Phytoplankton assemblage structure and dynamics as indicator [-2pt] of the recent trophic and biological evolution of the western basin of Lake Como (N. Italy)

We studied the phytoplankton assemblage of the western basin of Lake Como (Northern Italy) during 1997. The phytoplankton assemblage was composed of 65 taxa, belonging to six taxonomic groups. Chlorophyta were represented by the highest number of taxa (28) followed by Bacillariophyceae (17), Cyanoprokaryota (9), Dinophyceae (6), Chrysophyceae (3) and Cryptophyta (2). The total assemblage density and biomass ranged from 902 ind ml^–1 and 134.5 mm³ m^–3 in February to 58 766 ind ml^–1 and 9360 mm³ m^–3 in October. The density and biomass variation at three stations showed a common pattern, with higher values in the southern part of the basin where TP concentrations were always greater. The phytoplankton succession was analysed by cluster analysis (average linkage clustering) and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination, both applied to a dissimilarity matrix obtained from a calculation of the Bray–Curtis index. In general, the seasonal succession followed a simple pattern, with a clear spring phase. These results are discussed considering the trophic evolution of the lake and its recent colonization by Dreissena polymorpha.     

沼液的定价方法及其应用效果研究

为了探索沼液的商品化,采用养分含量定价和应用效果定价2种方法确定了沼液的价格,并分析了沼液施用后对土壤基本理化性状的影响作用。结果发现:采用养分含量定价法得到的沼液价格为78.12元/m³,采用沼液应用效果定价法得到的沼液的价格为111.4元/ m³;沼液的实际应用价值要明显高于其养分含量的市场价;沼液施用后可降低土壤容重,增加土壤孔隙度,增加土壤有机质、土壤全氮、土壤有效磷及有效钾含量,有利于土壤肥力的保持。     

基于流域尺度的土壤盐分空间变异特征——以渭干河-库车河流域三角洲绿洲为例

土壤中水溶性盐的分析,是发展研究盐渍土盐分动态监测与预报技术的重要基础工作。针对目前干旱半干旱区广泛存在的绿洲土壤次生盐渍化问题,基于GIS和地统计学方法,研究了渭干河—库车河流域三角洲绿洲盐渍化土壤特征(土壤含盐量)的空间变异性。研究结果表明:渭-库绿洲土壤含盐量的空间变异性为中等变异,且随土壤深度增加而减弱。各层土壤的合理采样数为在95%置信水平,20%误差下的合理采样数目。高斯模型能够较好的拟合10-30cm及30-50cm层土壤含盐量的空间结构。各层土壤盐分空间变异性受到结构性与随机性因素共同作用的影响,呈强空间相关性。套合结构模型考虑到0-10cm层土壤盐分空间变异的尺度依赖性,能够更好的拟合0-10cm层土壤含盐量的空间结构。Kriging插值以及空间等值线分布趋势图能够直观的表现研究区内土壤盐分含量的空间分布状况和变化情况。研究为土壤特征变量空间变异分析与评价提供了普适性较强的实现方法,为构建盐渍土定量动态监测模型以及盐渍土的改良利用提供一定的科学依据。
