Two tubificid species Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and L. claparedeianus formed more than 93% of the total number of oligochaetes in the profundal. Limnodrilus spp. worms were found down to 33 cm in the sediment but in great numbers in the upper zone in June and October. Worms confined to the top 15 cm of sediment accounted for 53-92% of the total number. There were two annual maxima in population density and biomass, one in late spring (66000 inds m−2 , 17 g wet wt m−2 ) and the other in mid autumn (97000 inds m−2 , 176 g wet wt m−2 ). Two regression lines describing the effect of temperature on faecal production rate were obtained; Log F = 0.0604 T (°C) −0.7660 (below 15°C), Log F = 0.0266 T – 0.2170 (above 15°C). In total 26.8 kg dry wt m−2 of sediment was defecated annually by Limnodrilus spp. The sediment in the 0–10 cm stratum may pass through the guts of the worms 2.3 times a year. Sedimentation rates in profundal region were very low with respect to the faecal production rates of the tubificids. 相似文献

The isobaric and isovolumetric properties of intrapulmonary arteries were evaluated by placing a highly compliant balloon inside arterial segments. The passive pressure-volume (P-V) curve was obtained by changing volume (0.004 ml/s) and measuring pressure. The isobaric active volume change (delta V) or isovolumetric active pressure change (delta P) generated by submaximal histamine was measured at four different transmural pressures (Ptm's) reached by balloon inflation. The maximal delta P = 11.2 +/- 0.6 cmH2O (mean +/- SE) was achieved at 30.8 +/- 1.2 cmH2O Ptm and maximal delta V = 0.20 +/- 0.02 ml at 16.7 +/- 1.7 cmH2O Ptm. The P-V relationships were similar when volume was increased after either isobaric or isovolumetric contraction. The calculated length-tension (L-T) relationship showed that the active tension curve was relatively flat and that the passive tension at the optimal length was 149 +/- 11% of maximal active tension. These data show that 1) a large elastic component operates in parallel with the smooth muscle in intralobar pulmonary arteries, and 2) the change in resistance associated with vascular expansion of the proximal arteries is independent of the type of contraction that occurs in the more distal arterial segments. 相似文献

piRNA (PIWI-interacting RNA) is a germ cell–specific small RNA in which biogenesis PIWI (P-element wimpy testis) family proteins play crucial roles. MILI (mouse Piwi-like), one of the three mouse PIWI family members, is indispensable for piRNA production, DNA methylation of retrotransposons presumably through the piRNA, and spermatogenesis. The biogenesis of piRNA has been divided into primary and secondary processing pathways; in both of these MILI is involved in mice. To analyze the molecular function of MILI in piRNA biogenesis, we utilized germline stem (GS) cells, which are derived from testicular stem cells and possess a spermatogonial phenotype. We established MILI-null GS cell lines and their revertant, MILI-rescued GS cells, by introducing the Mili gene with Sendai virus vector. Comparison of wild-type, MILI-null, and MILI-rescued GS cells revealed that GS cells were quite useful for analyzing the molecular mechanisms of piRNA production, especially the primary processing pathway. We found that glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2 (GPAT2), a mitochondrial outer membrane protein for lysophosphatidic acid, bound to MILI using the cells and that gene knockdown of GPAT2 brought about impaired piRNA production in GS cells. GPAT2 is not only one of the MILI bound proteins but also a protein essential for primary piRNA biogenesis. 相似文献

Ribosomes were isolated from dormant and germinating conidia of Asp. oryzae No. 13. The ribosomes which consisted of 80 S were easily dissociated into 40 S and 60 S in low Mg+ + buffer. Polyribosomes were not found in dormant conidia, but were found in germinating conidia. Ribosomes in Aspergillus fungi consisted of almost equal amount of RNA and protein, and the base compositions of RNA were alike, as compared as ribosomal RNA between dormant and germinating conidia. 相似文献

Three species of Ophiostoma possessing Pesotum anamorphs isolated from bark beetles and their galleries infesting Abies species in Nikko, Japan, are described as new species. Ophiostoma nikkoense is characterized by brush-shaped synnemata producing long septate clavate conidia, perithecia with neck, and allantoid ascospores. Ophiostoma microcarpum has smaller perithecia with hyphoid ostiolar hyphae on the neck, and the ascospores are cylindrical or ossiform in side and face views. Ophiostoma abieticola has perithecia without ostiolar hyphae on the neck and produces orange-section-shaped or reniform ascospores.Contribution no. 187, Laboratory of Plant Parasitic Mycology, Institute of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Tsukuba 相似文献

Mek1 is a Chk2/Rad53/Cds1-related protein kinase that is required for proper meiotic progression of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. However, the molecular mechanisms of Mek1 regulation and Mek1 phosphorylation targets are unclear. Here, we report that Mek1 is phosphorylated at serine-12 (S12), S14 and threonine-15 (T15) by Rad3 (ATR) and/or Tel1 (ATM) kinases that are activated by meiotic programmed double-strand breaks (DSBs). Mutations of these sites by alanine replacement caused abnormal meiotic progression and recombination rates. Phosphorylation of these sites triggers autophosphorylation of Mek1; indeed, alanine replacement mutations of Mek1-T318 and -T322 residues in the activation loop of Mek1 reduced Mek1 kinase activity and meiotic recombination rates. Substrates of Mek1 include Mus81-T275, Rdh54-T6 and Rdh54-T673. Mus81-T275 is known to regulate the Mus81 function in DNA cleavage, whereas Rdh54-T6A/T673A mutant cells showed abnormal meiotic recombination. Taken together, we conclude that the phosphorylation of Mek1 by Rad3 or Tel1, Mek1 autophosphorylation and Mus81 or Rdh54 phosphorylation by Mek1 regulate meiotic progression in S. pombe.Key words: Mek1, meiotic recombination, phosphorylation, Rdh54, Mus81 相似文献

A benthological survey in a deep caldera, Lake Ikeda, southern Kyushu, Japan, in 1998 revealed that no zoobenthos were found
in the deep profundal, although two tubificid oligochaetes, Tubifex tubifex and Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, and a chironomid, Procladius sp., were distributed in the upper profundal zone. This is the first record of oligochaete composition in the lake. Lake
Ikeda had been typically oligotrophic until the 1940s, and zoobenthic assemblages were recorded throughout the profundal bottom
in the 1920s and 1970s. Recent disappearance of the deep profundal zoobenthos could be caused by the stagnation of anoxic
waters in the hypolimnion, in connection with eutrophication triggered by nutrient loading, as well as change in the thermal
circulation system presumably caused by global warming. 相似文献

Comparison of meristic characters (pored lateral line scales, vertebrae, and fin rays), and PCR-RFLP analysis in the D-loop
and ND1 regions of mitochondrial DNA were performed to estimate the genetic diversity in local populations of the Japanese
rosy bitterling, Rhodeus ocellatus kurumeus. In terms of meristic characters, the Fukuoka population was the largest in both range and variance of the number of pored
lateral line scales and vertebrae (abdominal and caudal), and Osaka was the second, whereas the Kagawa population showed the
smallest range and variance in these characters. In PCR-RFLP analysis, 11 haplotypes (3 in Fukuoka, 2 in Okayama, 2 in Kagawa,
and 4 in Osaka) were observed, and nucleotide sequence divergence (NSD) was approximately two times larger in ND1 (mean, 0.61%)
than in D-loop (mean, 0.31%). In the neighbor-joining (NJ) tree, based upon the NSD value in ND1, haplotypes were arranged
into four clades, which corresponded to the locality of each haplotype. The Fukuoka population was conspicuously apart from
the other populations (mean, 0.90% in NSD), but the remaining three showed a similar genetic distance with each other (mean,
0.48%–0.52% in NSD). In haplotype diversity of mtDNA, half the stations in Osaka and all in Kagawa were monomorphic. Especially,
two haplotypes endemic to Kagawa were randomly distributed, irrespective of drainages. Rhodeus o. kurumeus in Fukuoka inhabits small rivers and creeks (open water systems), while that in Kagawa and Osaka lives in small ponds (closed
water systems). Taking the information of morphology, mtDNA, and habitat into consideration, the low genetic diversity in
Kagawa and Osaka populations of R. o. kurumeus is thought to be mainly the result of the isolation of their habitat.

In surveys conducted during 2000–2005, 39 taxa of aquatic oligochaetes belonging to the families Enchytraeidae and Naididae were found in Lake Tonle Sap in the Mekong River Basin, Cambodia. Dominated by naidines and pristinines (29 taxa), they mainly comprised widely distributed species as well as South Asian and Southeast Asian species. Among the four areas studied, the littoral regions of the lake—where inundated forests and aquatic vegetation developed during the flooded seasons—presented the highest number of species. Submerged vegetation in the littoral Lake Tonle Sap harbored abundant epiphytic oligochaetes, especially Stylaria fossularis. In contrast to the rich abundance of naidine and pristinine fauna, tubificines and ryhacodrilines were scarce in and around the lake, irrespective of the vegetation in their habitats. Several Aulodrilus species and Branchiura sowerbyi were the main representatives of the benthic oligochaete assemblages throughout the offshore zone of the lake without vegetation. It is noteworthy that the widely distributed tubificines Tubifex tubifex and Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri were not found in any surveyed locality. 相似文献
