A mini bioreactor (3.0 mL volume) has been developed and shown to be a versatile tool for rapidly screening and quantifying the response of organisms on environmental perturbations. The mini bioreactor is essentially a plug flow device transformed into a well-mixed reactor by a recycle flow of the broth. The gas and liquid phases are separated by a silicone membrane. Dynamic mass transfer experiments were performed to determine the mass transfer capacities for oxygen and carbon dioxide. The mass transfer coefficients for oxygen and carbon dioxide were found to be 1.55 +/- 0.17 x 10(-5) m/s and 4.52 +/- 0.60 x 10(-6) m/s, respectively. Cultivation experiments with the 3.0 mL bioreactor show that (i) it can maintain biomass in the same physiological state as the 4.0 L lab scale bioreactor, (ii) reproducible perturbation experiments such as changing substrate uptake rate can be readily performed and the physiological response monitored quantitatively in terms of the O2 and CO2 uptake and production rates. 相似文献

In this research, two dynamic 13 C-labeling experiments confirmed turnover and rapid mobilization of stored glycogen and trehalose in an aerobic glucose-limited chemostat ( D =0.05 h−1 ) culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae . In one experiment, the continuous feed to an aerobic glucose-limited chemostat culture of S. cerevisiae was instantaneously switched from naturally labeled to fully 13 C labeled while maintaining the same feed rate before and after the switch. The dynamic replacements of naturally labeled intracellular glycolytic intermediates and CO2 (in the off-gas) with their 13 C-labeled equivalents were measured. The data of this experiment suggest that the continuous turnover of glycogen and trehalose is substantial ( c . 1/3 of the glycolytic flux). The second experiment combined the medium switch with a shiftup in the glucose feeding rate (dilution rate shiftup from 0.05 to 0.10 h−1 ). This experiment triggered a strong but transient mobilization of storage carbon, that was channelled into glycolysis, causing a significant disruption in the dynamic labeling profile of glycolytic intermediates. The off-gas measurements in the shiftup experiment confirmed a considerable transient influx of 12 C-carbon into glycolysis after the combined medium switch and dilution rate shiftup. This study shows that for accurate in vivo kinetic interpretation of rapid pulse experiments, glycogen and trehalose metabolism must be taken into account. 相似文献

粘虫生殖的研究——Ⅱ.补充营养对生殖力的效应 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
粘虫成虫需补充取食糖类,方能完成飞翔(包括迁飞)、交配、产卵等活动。我们用了18种糖类来测定粘虫取食的范围,并观察糖类对生殖力的效应。试验结果表明:粘虫能取食葡萄糖、果糖、甘露糖、半乳糖、蔗糖、麦芽糖、海藻糖、棉子糖、甘油、甘露醇等,能完成正常生殖活动,产下数百粒卵,或上千粒卵,卵能孵化;但取食水、木糖、山梨糖、乳糖、糊精、淀粉、糖元等后,只能产下几粒卵,卵不能孵化。食量依糖液浓度而稍有变化,产卵前期取食量最高。 文中讨论各种糖的营养效价,并比较了各种糖类对不同昆虫生存、飞翔、生殖等效应的异同。 相似文献

Migration, invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis associated with cancer depend on the surrounding microenvironment. Angiogenesis, the growth of new capillaries, is a regulator of cancer growth and a useful target for cancer therapy. We examined matrix protein interactions in a gastric cancer cell culture that was treated with different doses of caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) phenethyl ester (CAPE). We also investigated the relations among the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), endostatin (ES) and trombospondin-1 (TSP-1). Cytotoxity of CAPE was measured using the 3-(4,5-dmethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. We examined the behavior of cells on laminin and collagen I coated surfaces in response to the angiogenic effect of these matrix molecules. We examined the protein alterations of these matrix molecules immunohistochemically and measured the levels of VEGF, MMP-9, ES and TSP-1 using the ELISA test. We showed that application of CAPE to the gastric cancer cell line on tissue culture plastic, laminin and collagen I significantly decreased the VEGF and MMP-9 protein levels. We found that TSP-1 levels were increased significantly in the gastric cancer cells after application of CAPE. The protein levels of gastric cancer cells also were increased significantly when tissue was cultured on laminin and collagen I. Application of CAPE to cells on laminin or collagen I coated surfaces significantly increased all of the proteins except ES. ES levels were increased on the collagen I covered surfaces, but the laminin surface decreased the levels of ES significantly. We demonstrated the beneficial effect of CAPE on a gastric cancer cell line including inhibition of proliferation and induction of some proteins that might be related to decreased angiogenesis. 相似文献

There has long been interest in determining if mass ivermectin administration for onchocerciasis has 'unknowingly' interrupted lymphatic filariasis (LF) transmission where the endemicity of the two diseases' overlaps. We studied 11 communities in central Nigeria entomologically for LF by performing mosquito dissections on Anopheline LF vectors. Six of the communities studied were located within an onchocerciasis treatment zone, and five were located outside of that zone. Communities inside the treatment zone had been offered ivermectin treatment for two-five years, with a mean coverage of 81% of the eligible population (range 58–95%). We found 4.9% of mosquitoes were infected with any larval stage of W. bancrofti in the head or thorax in 362 dissections in the untreated villages compared to 4.7% infected in 549 dissections in the ivermectin treated villages (Mantel-Haenszel ChiSquare 0.02, P = 0.9). We concluded that ivermectin annual therapy for onchocerciasis has not interrupted transmission of Wuchereria bancrofti (the causative agent of LF in Nigeria). 相似文献

Improving the performance of the EPT Index to accommodate multiple stressors in Afrotropical streams
The EPT index (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera) may be skewed by the wide tolerance to multiple stressors of the Baetid, Caenid and Hydropsychid families, which affects the performance of the EPT index as an indicator of multiple stressors in aquatic ecosystems. The effect of the BCH families on the EPT index was evaluated and alternatives were considered to improve its performance. The hypothesis that the removal of the BCH families improves sensitivity of the EPT index to human-induced stressors in streams and rivers was tested. Macroinvertebrates were collected in January–March 2009 at 22 sites in the Nyando and Nzoia Rivers, Lake Victoria basin, Kenya. Nine derivatives and modifications of the EPT index were tested for responses to a disturbance gradient, ranked into three condition categories (reference, intermediate and impaired). The sensitivity of the proportionate abundance derivative of the EPT index improved when the BCH families were removed, whereas that of the richness derivative improved marginally. Other modifications considered performed poorly when compared with the EPT-BCH metrics. Wide distribution of the BCH across all sites, irrespective of the level of disturbance, reduced the sensitivity of the EPT index in the studied streams. The removal of the BCH families enhanced the sensitivity of the index to multiple stressors in Afrotropical streams and rivers. 相似文献
