The chemical composition of surface waters of two Dutch moorland pools and of incident precipitation, was monitored from 1982
to 1990. For this period, sulfur and water budgets were calculated using a hydrochemical model developed for well-mixed non-stratifying
lakes. Total atmospheric deposition of S decreased significantly after 1986 at both locations. A model describing the sulfur
budget in terms of input, output and reduction/oxidation processes predicted a fast decrease of pool water SO4
2− concentrations after a decrease of atmospheric input. However, SO4
2− concentrations in the surface water was lowered only slightly or remained constant. Apparently a source within the lake caused
the unexpectedly high SO4
2− concentrations. The possible supply of SO4
2− from the sediment through regulation by (K-)Al-SO4 containing minerals or desorption of SO4
2− from positively charged surfaces in the sediment was evaluated. Solubility calculations of pore water with respect to alunite,
basaluminite and jurbanite indicated that SO4
2− concentration was not regulated by these minerals. It is suggested here (1) that desorption of SO4
2− from peaty sediments may account for the estimated SO4
2− supply provided that the adsorption complex is periodically recharged by partial oxidation of the upper bottom sediments
and (2) that because of exposure of a part of the pool bottom to the atmosphere during dry summers and subsequent oxidation
of reduced S, the amount of SO4
2− may be provided which complements the decreasing depositional SO4
2− input. In future research these two mechanisms need to be investigated. 相似文献

Sulfate reduction and S-oxidation in a moorland pool sediment 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
In an oligotrophic moorland pool in The Netherlands, S cycling near the sediment/water boundary was investigated by measuring (1) SO4
2– reduction rates in the sediment, (2) depletion of SO4
2– in the overlying water column and (3) release of35S from the sediment into the water column. Two locations differing in sediment type (highly organic and sandy) were compared, with respect to reduction rates and depletion of SO4
2– in the overlying water.Sulfate reduction rates in sediments of an oligotrophic moorland pool were estimated by diagenetic modelling and whole core35SO4
2– injection. Rates of SO4
2– consumption in the overlying water were estimated by changes in SO4
2– concentration over time in in situ enclosures. Reduction rates ranged from 0.27–11.2 mmol m–2 d–1. Rates of SO4
2– uptake from the enclosed water column varied from –0.5, –0.3 mmol m–2 d–1 (November) to 0.43–1.81 mmol m–2 d–1 (July, August and April). Maximum rates of oxidation to SO4
2– in July 1990 estimated by combination of SO4
2– reduction rates and rates of in situ SO4
2– uptake in the enclosed water column were 10.3 and 10.5 mmol m–2 d–1 at an organic rich and at a sandy site respectively.Experiments with35S2– and35SO4
2– tracer suggested (1) a rapid formation of organically bound S from dissimilatory reduced SO4
2– and (2) the presence of mainly non SO4
2–-S derived from reduced S transported from the sediment into the overlying water. A35S2– tracer experiment showed that about 7% of35S2– injected at 1 cm depth in a sediment core was recovered in the overlying water column.Sulfate reduction rates in sediments with higher volumetric mass fraction of organic matter did not significantly differ from those in sediments with a lower mass fraction of organic matter.Corresponding author 相似文献

Several models of activation mechanisms were proposed for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), yet no direct methods exist for their elucidation. The availability of constitutively active mutants has given an opportunity to study active receptor conformations within acceptable limits using models such as the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1)1 receptor mutant N111G-hAT1 which displays an important constitutive activity. Recently, by using methionine proximity assay, we showed for the hAT1 receptor that TMD III, VI, and VII form the ligand-binding pocket of the C-terminal amino acid of an antagonistic AngII analogue. In the present contribution, we investigated whether the same residues would also constitute the ligand-binding contacts in constitutively activated mutant (CAM) receptors. For this purpose, the same Met mutagenesis strategy was carried out on the N111G double mutants. Analysis of 43 receptors mutants in the N111G-hAT1 series, photolabeled and CNBr digested, showed that there were only subtle structural changes between the wt-receptor and its constitutively active form. 相似文献

Maintenance of a high degree of biodiversity in homogeneous environments is poorly understood. A complex cheese starter culture with a long history of use was characterized as a model system to study simple microbial communities. Eight distinct genetic lineages were identified, encompassing two species: Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The genetic lineages were found to be collections of strains with variable plasmid content and phage sensitivities. Kill-the-winner hypothesis explaining the suppression of the fittest strains by density-dependent phage predation was operational at the strain level. This prevents the eradication of entire genetic lineages from the community during propagation regimes (back-slopping), stabilizing the genetic heterogeneity in the starter culture against environmental uncertainty. 相似文献

CD80 and CD86 interact with CD28 and deliver costimulatory signals required for T cell activation. We demonstrate that ex vivo allergen stimulation of bronchial biopsy tissue from mild atopic asthmatic, but not atopic nonasthmatic, subjects induced production of IL-5, IL-4, and IL-13. Explants from both study groups did not produce IFN-gamma, but secreted the chemokine RANTES without any overt stimulation. In addition to allergen, stimulation of asthmatic explants with mAbs to CD3 and TCR-alphabeta but not TCR-gammadelta induced IL-5 secretion. Allergen-induced IL-5 and IL-13 production by the asthmatic tissue was inhibited by anti-CD80 and, to a lesser extent, by anti-CD86 mAbs. In contrast, the production of these cytokines by PBMCs was not affected by mAbs to CD80, was inhibited by anti-CD86, and was strongly attenuated in the presence of both Abs. FACS analysis revealed that stimulated asthmatic bronchial tissue was comprised of CD4+ T cells that expressed surface CD28 (75. 3%) but little CTLA-4 (4.0%). Neutralizing mAbs to CD40 ligand had no effect on the cytokine levels produced by asthmatic tissue or PBMCs. Collectively, these findings suggest that allergen-specific alphabeta T cells are resident in asthmatic bronchial tissue and demonstrate that costimulation by both CD80 and CD86 is essential for allergen-induced cytokine production. In contrast, CD86 appears to be the principal costimulatory molecule required in PBMC responses. Attenuation of type 2 alphabeta T cell responses in the bronchial mucosa by blocking these costimulatory molecules may be of therapeutic potential in asthma. 相似文献

We analysed the spatial and temporal distribution of apoptosis in human cerebellum development, during embryonic and fetal periods. Cerebella excised from two human embryos (8 weeks old) and eight fetuses (12-22 weeks old), were paraffin embedded and serially sectioned. Apoptotic cells were identified by propidium iodide staining, and TUNEL. In addition, immunohistochemistry for suicide receptor Fas(APO-1/CD95) was performed. We determined the distribution and percentage of apoptotic cells as well as Fas(APO-1/CD95)-positive cells in different regions and stages of development. Apoptotic cells were seen in both proliferative zones and postmitotic regions along the migratory pathways as well as in the developing cerebellar cortex in all examined stages. The Fas(APO-1/CD95) immunoreactivity was present in all examined stages in a small population of apoptotic cells: either neuroblasts or differentiated cells in postmitotic zones. These findings suggest that apoptosis drives the selection of the cells which are committed to differentiate during the early stages of cerebellar development. The differences between apoptotic cells distribution and Fas receptor expression suggest that cell selection is driven by different apoptotic pathways. 相似文献

Apoptotic cell death induced by kainic acid (KA) in cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells (CGC) and in different brain regions of Wistar rat pups on postnatal day 21 (P21) was studied. In vitro , KA (100–500 μM) induced a concentration-dependent loss of cell viability in MTT assay and cell death had apoptotic morphology as studied by chromatin staining with propidium iodide (PI). In vivo , twenty-four hours after induction of status epilepticus (SE) by an intraperitoneal KA injection (5 mg/kg) we quantified apoptotic cells in hippocampus (CA1 and CA3), parietal cortex and cerebellum using PI staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) technique. We report that dantrolene, a specific ryanodine receptor antagonist, was able to significantly reduce the apoptotic cell death in CGC cultures and in hyppocampal CA1 and parietal cortex regions. Our finding can be valuable for neuroprotective therapy strategies in patients with repeated generalized seizures or status epilepticus. 相似文献

While there is currently intense effort to examine the 13C signal of CO2 evolved in the dark, less is known on the isotope composition of day‐respired CO2. This lack of knowledge stems from technical difficulties to measure the pure respiratory isotopic signal: day respiration is mixed up with photorespiration, and there is no obvious way to separate photosynthetic fractionation (pure ci/ca effect) from respiratory effect (production of CO2 with a different δ13C value from that of net‐fixed CO2) at the ecosystem level. Here, we took advantage of new simple equations, and applied them to sunflower canopies grown under low and high [CO2]. We show that whole mesocosm‐respired CO2 is slightly 13C depleted in the light at the mesocosm level (by 0.2–0.8‰), while it is slightly 13C enriched in darkness (by 1.5–3.2‰). The turnover of the respiratory carbon pool after labelling appears similar in the light and in the dark, and accordingly, a hierarchical clustering analysis shows a close correlation between the 13C abundance in day‐ and night‐evolved CO2. We conclude that the carbon source for respiration is similar in the dark and in the light, but the metabolic pathways associated with CO2 production may change, thereby explaining the different 12C/13C respiratory fractionations in the light and in the dark. 相似文献
