两种测定化合物对真菌菌丝生长抑制活性方法的比较

采用带毒平板法和液体培养法测定两种植物抗菌化合物血根碱和白屈菜红碱对植物病原真菌水稻纹枯病菌（Rhizoctonia solani）、番茄枯萎病菌（Fusarium oxysporium f．sp．lycopersici）和棉花枯萎病菌（F.oxysporium f.sp．vasinfectum）的抑制活性。论文对两种测定方法进行了比较和讨论,结果发现：和带毒平板法相比,采用液体培养法获得的化合物半抑制浓度要低。     

In Vitro Physiological Responses of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum to Exogenously Applied Syringic Acid

ABSTRACT. Plant–microbe interactions are often accompanied by allelochemicals, such as syringic acid, released from the host plant. To explore the role of phenolic acids released from crop host plants in response to pathogen invasion, we examined the allelopathic effect of an artificially applied syringic acid on Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum . We demonstrated that the growth and the conidial germination rate of F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum were stimulated at lower concentrations of syringic acid, though inhibited by higher dosage compared with control. The yield of fungus mycotoxin was increased from 60.9% to 561.5%. We conclude that syringic acid can be considered as a allelochemical inducer, stimulating the relative virulence factors of invading pathogens.     

Characterization and purification of a new bacteriocin with a broad inhibitory spectrum produced by Lactobacillus plantarum lp 31 strain isolated from dry-fermented sausage

Aims:  Characterization and purification of a new bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum LP 31 strain, isolated from Argentinian dry-fermented sausage.
Methods and Results:  Lactobacillus plantarum LP 31 strain produces an antimicrobial compound that inhibits the growth of food-borne pathogenic bacteria. It was inactivated by proteolytic enzymes, was stable to heat and catalase and exhibited maximum activity in the pH range from 5·0 to 6·0. Consequently, it was characterized as a bacteriocin. It was purified by RP (reverse-phase) solid-phase extraction, gel filtration chromatography and RP-HPLC. Plantaricin produced by Lact. plantarum LP 31 is a peptide with a molecular weight of 1558·85 Da as determined by Maldi-Tof mass spectrometry and contains 14 amino acid residues. It was shown to have a bactericidal effect against Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus aureus , Bacillus cereus and Listeria monocytogenes.
Conclusions:  The bacteriocin produced by Lact. plantarum LP 31 may be considered as a new plantaricin according to its low molecular weight and particular amino acid composition.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  In view of the interesting inhibitory spectrum of this bacteriocin and because of its good technological properties (resistance to heat and activity at acidic pH), this bacteriocin has potential applications as a biopreservative to prevent the growth of food-borne pathogens and food spoilage bacteria in certain food products.

Oseltamivir boosts 2009 H1N1 virus infectivity in vitro

The neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir has been identified to have significant anti-influenza activity in clinical practice. However, its efficacy has not been verified in enough subtypes of influenza A virus, particularly, the current pandemic virus, H1N1. In vitro, using our influenza pseudotyped particle system, oseltamivir displayed significant inhibitory effects on viral NA activity and pp release. Conversely, a boosting effect on viral infection was observed, particularly with the 2009 H1N1 pp at oseltamivir concentrations above 0.025 μM. Further testing on two wild 2009 H1N1 virus strains, A/California/07/09 and A/Sichuan/1/09, as well as a seasonal flu virus, A/Baoan/51/2008, confirmed these findings.     

一株来自于伊犁贝母的内生尖孢镰孢菌Y1的抑菌活性初步研究

从新疆巩留县伊犁贝母的新鲜鳞茎中分离到一株具有分泌抑菌活性物质的内生尖孢镰孢菌Fusarium oxysporumY1,该菌在7种不同培养基上生长时显示出不同的菌落生长特征,而且只在沙氏培养基中生长时才具有分泌抑菌活性物质的能力。抑菌活性筛选结果表明:由该菌及其发酵液制备的发酵液浸膏、菌体裂解液浸膏以及经进一步纯化后获得的乙酸乙酯浸膏和正丁醇浸膏均具有明显的抑菌活性,其中以发酵液的乙酸乙酯浸膏和菌体裂解液的正丁醇浸膏活性最强,它们对金黄色葡萄球菌Staphylococcus aureus、表皮葡萄球菌Staphylococcus epidermidis、枯草芽孢杆菌Bacillus subtilis、藤黄八叠球菌Sarcina lutea和大肠杆菌Escherichia coli的最低抑菌浓度均小于25μg/mL。     

Assessment of survival of Listeria monocytogenes,Salmonella Infantis and Enterococcus faecalis artificially inoculated into experimental waste or compost

Aims: To evaluate survival of pathogenic strains, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Infantis and a sanitation indicator Enterococcus faecalis in composts at different stages of the composting process and during storage. Methods and Results: The studied pathogenic and indicator strains, originally isolated from compost, were inoculated into compost samples from the various stages of the composting process. During incubation, indigenous microflora diversity was monitored with DGGE analysis. After 90 days of incubation, strain survival was observed in compost sampled before the beginning of the cooling phase, and DGGE analysis demonstrated an increase of microbial diversity up to the cooling phase. However, inoculated strains were not detected in composts after 30, 60 or 90 days of incubation in compost sampled after the start of the cooling phase. Microbial diversity also became stable, and DGGE profiles reached a maximum number of bands at this stage. Conclusions: Strain survival was not observed in stabilized composts. The cooling phase seems to be the turning point for pathogen survival and at this stage the indigenous microflora appeared to play a significant role in suppression. Significance and Impact of the Study: The importance of indigenous microflora in the survival of pathogens in four different composts was demonstrated. Stabilized composts were recommended for spreading on land.     

Synthesis and anti-microbial activity of pyrazolylbisindoles--promising anti-fungal compounds

A series of pyrazolylbisindole derivatives have been synthesized by reacting substituted pyrazole aldehydes with substituted indoles using phosphotungstic acid, a Keggin type heteropoly acid as catalyst. The synthesized pyrazolylbisindoles were evaluated for anti-microbial activities. The effect of pyrazolylbisindoles on the mycelial growth of plant pathogenic fungi is revealed. Entries 3c and 3d emerged as the most interesting compounds in this series exhibiting excellent anti-fungal activity.     

Microsatellite markers identify three lineages of Phytophthora ramorum in US nurseries, yet single lineages in US forest and European nursery populations

Analysis of 12 polymorphic simple sequence repeats identified in the genome sequence of Phytophthora ramorum, causal agent of 'sudden oak death', revealed genotypic diversity to be significantly higher in nurseries (91% of total) than in forests (18% of total). Our analysis identified only two closely related genotypes in US forests, while the genetic structure of populations from European nurseries was of intermediate complexity, including multiple, closely related genotypes. Multilocus analysis determined populations in US forests reproduce clonally and are likely descendants of a single introduced individual. The 151 isolates analysed clustered in three clades. US forest and European nursery isolates clustered into two distinct clades, while one isolate from a US nursery belonged to a third novel clade. The combined microsatellite, sequencing and morphological analyses suggest the three clades represent distinct evolutionary lineages. All three clades were identified in some US nurseries, emphasizing the role of commercial plant trade in the movement of this pathogen.     

乙酰穿心莲内酯的制备及其抑菌活性和化感作用比较研究

用乙酸酐对穿心莲内酯进行乙酰化,得乙酰穿心莲内酯,比较研究了乙酰穿心莲内酯和穿心莲内酯对部分细菌、霉菌、酵母和植物病原菌的抑菌活性以及对小麦、萝卜、青菜和黄瓜等农作物的化感作用.结果发现:乙酰穿心莲内酯对少数参试菌的抑制活性比穿心莲内酯弱,但对大多数菌的抑制活性比穿心莲内酯强,尤其是在较高浓度下,乙酰穿心莲内酯对枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)、黑根霉菌(Rhigopus nigricans)、苹果酵母菌B13(Sour-dough starterB13)和辣椒晚疫病菌(Phytophthora capsici)的抑制活性明显强于穿心莲内酯;两者对参试植物种子萌发及幼苗根长和苗高均表现不同程度的"低促高抑"作用趋势.
