The addition of Ca2+ (as CaCl2) in optimal concentrations (0.75 to 2.0 mM) to a fermentation medium with a trace contaminating concentration of Ca2+ (0.025 mM) led to the rapid production of higher concentrations of ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces bayanus, and Kluyveromyces marxianus. The positive effect of calcium supplementation (0.75 mM) on alcoholic fermentation by S. bayanus was explained by the increase in its ethanol tolerance. The ethanol inhibition of growth and fermentation followed the equation μxi = μoi [1 - (X/Xmi)]ni, where μoi and μxi are, respectively, the specific growth (i = g) and fermentation (i = f) rates in the absence or presence of a concentration (X) of added ethanol, and Xmi is the maximal concentration of ethanol which allows growth or fermentation. The toxic power is given by ni. In Ca2+ - supplemented medium (0.75 mM), ng = 0.42 for growth and nf = 0.43 for fermentation compared with 0.52 and 0.55, respectively, in unsupplemented medium; for both media, Xmg = 10% (vol/vol) and Xmf = 13% (vol/vol). For lethal concentrations of ethanol, the specific death rates were minimal for cells that were grown and incubated with ethanol in medium with an optimal concentration of Ca2+, maximal for cells grown and incubated with ethanol in unsupplemented medium, and intermediate for cells grown in unsupplemented medium and incubated with ethanol in calcium-supplemented medium. The effect of Ca2+ on the acidification curve of energized cells in the presence of ethanol was found to be closely associated with its protective effect on growth, fermentation, and viability. 相似文献

Concentrations of Ni were determined in xylem and phloem of Quercus ilex trees growing on serpentine and sandy loam soils of northeast Portugal. Radial distribution patterns of Ni in stemwood were compared to variations in annual growth increments of the trees.Concentrations of Ni in xylem and phloem were higher in Q. ilex from serpentine soil, when compared with Q. ilex of a sandy loam soil.The radial distributions of Ni showed large variations among the trees, although they all grew in the same area within a short distance from each other. These differences can be caused by small-scale spatial variations in the soil. Therefore, the use of such radial Ni distributions for a retrospective biomonitoring of the Ni pollution of larger areas appears questionable. 相似文献

The use of graduated compression stockings (GCS) in sport has been increasing in the last years due to their potential positive effects for athletes. However, there is little evidence to support whether these types of garments actually improve cardiorespiratory performance. The aim of this study was to examine the cardiorespiratory responses of GCS during running after three weeks of regular use. Twenty recreational runners performed three tests on different days: test 1) – a 5-min maximal effort run in order to determine the participants’ maximal aerobic speed; and tests 2) and 3) – a fatigue running test of 30 minutes at 80% of their maximal aerobic speed with either GCS or PLACEBO stockings at random. Cardiorespiratory parameters (minute ventilation, heart rate, relative oxygen consumption, relative carbon dioxide production, ventilatory equivalents for oxygen and carbon dioxide, and oxygen pulse) were measured. Before each test in the laboratory, the participants trained with the randomly assigned stockings (GCS or PLACEBO) for three weeks. No significant differences between GCS and PLACEBO were found in any of the cardiorespiratory parameters. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that running with GCS for three weeks does not influence cardiorespiratory parameters in recreational runners. 相似文献

Background
An impediment to the rational development of novel drugs against tuberculosis (TB) is a general paucity of knowledge concerning the metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly during infection. Constraint-based modeling provides a novel approach to investigating microbial metabolism but has not yet been applied to genome-scale modeling of M. tuberculosis. 相似文献5.

In this study, we genetically characterized the Uruguayan pig breed Pampa Rocha.
Genetic variability was assessed by analyzing a panel of 25 microsatellite markers
from a sample of 39 individuals. Pampa Rocha pigs showed high genetic variability
with observed and expected heterozygosities of 0.583 and 0.603, respectively. The
mean number of alleles was 5.72. Twenty-four markers were polymorphic, with 95.8% of
them in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. The level of endogamy was low (FIS =
0.0475). A factorial analysis of correspondence was used to assess the genetic
differences between Pampa Rocha and other pig breeds; genetic distances were
calculated, and a tree was designed to reflect the distance matrix. Individuals were
also allocated into clusters. This analysis showed that the Pampa Rocha breed was
separated from the other breeds along the first and second axes. The
neighbour-joining tree generated by the genetic distances DA showed
clustering of Pampa Rocha with the Meishan breed. The allocation of individuals to
clusters showed a clear separation of Pampa Rocha pigs. These results provide
insights into the genetic variability of Pampa Rocha pigs and indicate that this
breed is a well-defined genetic entity. 相似文献

Evidence for selection on synonymous mutations affecting stability of mRNA secondary structure in mammals 下载免费PDF全文
Background
In mammals, contrary to what is usually assumed, recent evidence suggests that synonymous mutations may not be selectively neutral. This position has proven contentious, not least because of the absence of a viable mechanism. Here we test whether synonymous mutations might be under selection owing to their effects on the thermodynamic stability of mRNA, mediated by changes in secondary structure. 相似文献8.

The armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is the principal pest of corn in Brazil. Control is achieved primarily by synthetic insecticides, which cause problems for the agro-ecosystem. Alternative methods of control are under investigation and citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) essential oil appears to be a promising agent. We investigated the effects of citronella oil using histological, histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. The midgut of larvae treated with citronella exhibited altered epithelium including cytoplasmic protrusions, columnar cell extrusion, pyknotic nuclei, and increased periodic acid-Schiff positive granules. Regenerative cells in the epithelium of the midgut increased in number, which facilitated subsequent regeneration of this tissue. After exposure to citronella, trophocytes, the principal cell type of the fat body, possessed enlarged vacuoles and mitotic bodies, and contained reduced amounts of glycogen, lipid, and protein. Citronella oil caused morphological changes of the midgut and reduction of stored resources in the fat body, which may adversely affect insect reproduction and survival. 相似文献

The ability to form symbiotic associations with soil microorganisms and the consequences for plant growth were studied for
three woody legumes grown in five different soils of a Portuguese coastal dune system. Seedlings of the invasive Acacia longifolia and the natives Ulex europaeus and Cytisus grandiflorus were planted in the five soil types in which at least one of these species appear in the studied coastal dune system. We
found significant differences between the three woody legumes in the number of nodules produced, final plant biomass and shoot
15N content. The number of nodules produced by A. longifolia was more than five times higher than the number of nodules produced by the native legumes. The obtained 15N values suggest that both A. longifolia and U. europaeus incorporated more biologically-fixed nitrogen than C. grandiflorus which is also the species with the smallest distribution. Finally, differences were also found between the three species in the allocation of biomass in the different studied soils.
Acacia longifolia displayed a lower phenotypic plasticity than the two native legumes which resulted in a greater allocation to aboveground
biomass in the soils with lower nutrient content. We conclude that the invasive success of A. longifolia in the studied coastal sand dune system is correlated to its capacity to nodulate profusely and to use the biologically-fixed
nitrogen to enhance aboveground growth in soils with low N content. 相似文献

糖尿病微血管病变严重影响了患者生活质量,是患者致死致残主要原因。微血管病变主要表现在视网膜、肾、神经、心肌组织。微血管病变的机制尚未完全清楚,近年越来越多研究发现血管内皮祖细胞(endothelial progenitor cells,EPCs)是该病发病重要原因。EPCs有分化为成熟的内皮细胞并且参与新血管形成和新生的能力。正常情况下内皮损失和EPCs对内皮的修复作用处于动态平衡状态,一旦EPCs受损,内皮损害和修复之间的平衡被打破,内皮层的完整性遭到破坏,必然参与糖尿病血管病变的发生发展。国内外大量研究证明糖尿病合并大血管病变EPCs数目功能改变,而糖尿病合并微血管病变EPCs的怎样变化?本文就EPCs与糖尿病微血管病变的关系进行系统综述。 相似文献
