Synthesis and enantioselective rearrangement of (Z)-4-triphenylmethoxy-2,3-epoxybutan-1-ol enantiomers

Efficient enzyme catalyzed kinetic resolutions of a synthetically useful chiral building block, (Z)-4-triphenylmethoxy-2,3-epoxybutan-1-ol, are reported. The highest selectivities were achieved by Lipozyme TL IM and Amano Lipase PS enzymes in the presence of vinyl acetate. Enantiomeric enrichment of the optically active acetate isomer was accomplished by selective crystallization of the racemic part of the enantiomeric mixture. Enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of the acetate also provided an optically pure epoxybutanol derivative. O-Benzylation of (+)-(Z)-1-hydroxy-4-triphenylmethoxy-2,3-epoxybutane followed by super base promoted diastereo- and enantio-selective rearrangement resulted in (+)-(2R,3R,1'R)-3-[1-hydroxy-2-(triphenylmethoxy)ethyl]-2-phenyloxetane in >98% ee and de. Configurations of the new optically active products were determined by chemical correlation.

The active site of yeast endo-polygalacturonase contains seven subsites

The rate of hydrolysis of oligomers by the endopolygalacturonase of yeast is in the order: heptamer > hexamer > pentamer > tetramer. This suggests that the active site accommodates at least 7 units. Since the heptamer disappears concurrently with the bulk of larger oligomers, the maximum number of units appears to be 7. The release of labelled (unsaturated, or ³H labelled and reduced) end units from larger substrate is interpreted to indicate that the enzyme interacts with 3 saccharide units toward the reducing end from the bond to be broken, and with 4 units toward the non-reducing end. The relative affinities for the enzyme of saccharide units in various positions are unequal, as indicated by the very low relative rate of monomer production from the hydrolysis of hexamer and pentamer, and the apparently unequal probability of two other modes of hexamer hydrolysis [(tetramer + dimer) = 2.5 (trimer + trimer)].

不同改良措施对太子参根际土壤酚酸含量及特异菌群的影响

太子参为石竹科多年生草本植物,以根部入药,药用价值高,市场需求大,但其栽培过程中存在严重的连作障碍问题,连作导致产量品质严重下降,病虫害猖獗,探索太子参连作障碍形成的机制及其消减措施意义重大.本研究以广泛栽培的“柘参2号”为试验材料,采用土壤农化分析、高效液相色谱(HPLC)分析、荧光定量PCR(qPCR)等技术对不同连作年限或不同消减措施下太子参根际土壤的主要养分、酚酸含量动态及特异菌群变化进行分析.结果显示: 太子参连作导致产量显著下降,与正茬相比产量下降达43.5%,而水旱轮作和微生物菌肥处理可不同程度缓解其障碍效应.太子参连作土壤主要养分(如速效氮、速效磷、速效钾、全钾)未降反升,但导致土壤酸化.HPLC分析表明,太子参连作下或者随生长时期的推进,土壤酚酸类物质并未表现出明显的积累效应,膨大中期和收获期重茬土壤中大部分酚酸含量甚至低于正茬土壤.进一步荧光定量PCR分析发现,太子参连作导致前期分离筛选到的几类病原菌(如尖孢镰刀菌、踝节霉菌、Kosakonia sacchari)的绝对含量显著上升,而水旱轮作和微生物菌肥处理可有效降低3类病原菌的含量,改善微生态结构.综上认为,太子参连作障碍的发生并非由土壤养分匮乏或者酚酸持续积累直接造成,可能主要与连作下土传病原微生物的大量繁殖爆发有关,本研究结果为深入揭示太子参连作障碍的形成机制及消减修复机制提供了理论依据.     

马铃薯全生育期内根际微生物组变化规律

[目的]陆生植物根际环境与土壤中的微生物菌群关系密切,其根际微生物群落动态极可能直接影响着植物健康及养分高效利用。虽然根际益生菌已被证实可用于提高作物生产力,但由于缺乏对这些菌群组成动态变化规律的认识了解,它们的开发受到限制。研究马铃薯全生育期根际菌群的动态变化规律,探讨根际菌群变化与马铃薯发育时期的相关性,为针对马铃薯不同生长时期开发专用生物益生菌肥奠定理论基础。[方法]本研究着眼于马铃薯田间全生命周期微生物组动态变化,通过Illumina MiSeq高通量测序技术对不同时间点马铃薯根际细菌16S rRNA基因V3-V4区和真菌ITS区测序并对操作分类单位(OTU)进行聚类,分析样品间微生物群落的多样性特征,并通过机器学习的方法建立模型,将根际菌群与田间马铃薯发育时间相关联。[结果]根际菌群在马铃薯各个发育阶段随时间变化明显,营养生长阶段的微生物群落结构发生了显著变化,随着结薯期的开始逐渐稳定,直到块茎成熟后期根际菌群再次出现较大变化,且在不同施肥处理间呈现较大差异。进一步基于模型挖掘了与马铃薯发育时间相关联的22个特征细菌类群和16个特征真菌类群,其中苗期和结薯末期的特征类群分别为梭菌(Clostridium)和放线菌(Actinobacteria)。[结论]马铃薯的生长发育时期是影响根际微生物群落组成的主要因素,益生菌肥的添加主要影响马铃薯结薯末期的细菌微生物菌群结构。     

Maltose excretion by the symbiotic Chlorella of the heliozoan Acanthocystis turfacea

Chlorella sp. strain 3.83, a symbiotic Chlorella isolated from the heliozoan Acanthocystis turfacea, excreted between 8% and 16% of assimilated ¹⁴CO₂ as maltose in the light (15000 lx), with a pH optimum around 4.8. This percentage increased when the illuminance was lowered (36% at 1700 lx). Release of [¹⁴C]maltose continued in darkness and could be inhibited by the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoro-methoxyphenylhydrazone and by diethylstilbestrol. Net efflux of maltose was observed even at a concentration ratio of extracellular/intracellular maltose of 7.8. Exogenous [¹⁴C]maltose (5 mM) was taken up by the cells with a rate <2% of that of simultaneous maltose release, indicating a practically unidirectional transport. It is concluded that maltose excretion is an active-transport process.Abbreviations DES diethylstilbestrol - FCCP carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone - p.c. packed cells This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
