Complete ammonia oxidization in agricultural soils: High ammonia fertilizer loss but low N2O production

The contribution of agriculture to the sustainable development goals requires climate-smart and profitable farm innovations. Increasing the ammonia fertilizer applications to meet the global food demands results in high agricultural costs, environmental quality deterioration, and global warming, without a significant increase in crop yield. Here, we reported that a third microbial ammonia oxidation process, complete ammonia oxidation (comammox), is contributing to a significant ammonia fertilizer loss (41.9 ± 4.8%) at the rate of 3.53 ± 0.55 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ in agricultural soils around the world. The contribution of comammox to ammonia fertilizer loss, occurring mainly in surface agricultural soil profiles (0–0.2 m), was equivalent to that of bacterial ammonia oxidation (48.6 ± 4.5%); both processes were significantly more important than archaeal ammonia oxidation (9.5 ± 3.6%). In contrast, comammox produced less N₂O (0.98 ± 0.44 μg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹, 11.7 ± 3.1%), comparable to that produced by archaeal ammonia oxidation (16.4 ± 4.4%) but significantly lower than that of bacterial ammonia oxidation (72.0 ± 5.1%). The efficiency of ammonia conversion to N₂O by comammox (0.02 ± 0.01%) was evidently lower than that of bacterial (0.24 ± 0.06%) and archaeal (0.16 ± 0.04%) ammonia oxidation. The comammox rate increased with increasing soil pH values, which is the only physicochemical characteristic that significantly influenced both comammox bacterial abundance and rates. Ammonia fertilizer loss, dominated by comammox and bacterial ammonia oxidation, was more intense in soils with pH >6.5 than in soils with pH <6.5. Our results revealed that comammox plays a vital role in ammonia fertilizer loss and sustainable development in agroecosystems that have been previously overlooked for a long term.

番木瓜果糖-2,6-二磷酸酶CpF2KP基因克隆和蛋白表达纯化

番木瓜是岭南四大名果之一,在我国东南部地区广泛种植,因其具有食用和药用双重价值,因此深受人们的青睐。果糖-6-磷酸,2-激酶/果糖-2,6-二磷酸酯酶(fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase,F2KP)是一个独特的双功能酶,具有激酶功能域和酯酶功能域,能催化生物体内糖代谢的重要调节物果糖-2,6-二磷酸(Fru-2,6-P_(2))的合成和降解。为了研究番木瓜中编码该酶的基因CpF2KP的功能,得到目的蛋白尤为重要。本研究从番木瓜基因组中提取到CpF2KP基因的编码序列(coding sequence,CDS)序列,该基因CDS全长2274 bp。将该基因CDS全长扩增之后选用pGEX-4T-1载体进行原核表达。对载体pGEX-4T-1用EcoRⅠ和BamHⅠ进行双酶切,利用基因重组的方式将扩增序列构建到原核表达载体上。经过诱导条件探索,SDS-PAGE结果显示GST-CpF2KP重组蛋白的大小约为110 kDa,诱导CpF2KP蛋白表达的最适条件为:异丙基β-D-硫代半乳糖苷(isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside,IPTG)浓度为0.5 mmol/L,温度28℃。对诱导后的CpF2KP蛋白进行纯化,得到了纯化的单一目的蛋白。此外,检测了该基因的组织表达特性发现该基因在种子中表达量最高,在果肉中表达量最低。该研究为进一步深入揭示番木瓜CpF2KP蛋白的功能及研究该基因参与的生物学过程提供了重要基础。

PCR-based gene targeting of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) locus in murine ES cells,a new and more cost-effective approach

Gene targeting by double homologous recombination in murine embryonic stem (ES) cells is a powerful tool used to study the cellular consequences of specific genetic mutations. A typical targeting construct consists of a neomycin phosphotransferase (neo) gene flanked by genomic DNA fragments that are homologous to sequences in the target chromosomal locus. Homologous DNA fragments are typically cloned from a murine genomic DNA library. Here we describe an alternative approach whereby the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) gene locus is partially mapped and homologous DNA sequences obtained using a long-range PCR method. A 7 kb NOS2 amplicon is used to construct a targeting vector where theneo gene is flanked by PCR-derived homologous DNA sequences. The vector also includes a thymidine kinase (tk) negative-selectable marker gene. Following transfection into ES cells, the PCR-based targeting vector undergoes efficient homologous recombination into the NOS2 locus. Thus, PCR-based gene targeting can be a valuable alternative to the conventional cloning approach. It expedites the acquisition of homologous genomic DNA sequences and simplifies the construction of targeting plasmids by making use of defined cloning sites. This approach should result in substantial time and cost savings for appropriate homologous recombination projects.     

山东淄博第四纪裂隙动物群

简要记述产自山东淄博孙家山裂隙群的主要哺乳动物化石,将之分为A、B、C三个动物群。A动物群时代与周口店第18地点相当,为早更新世早期;B动物群时代与周口店第9地点相当,为早更新世晚期;C动物群则可能与周口店第1地点中上部层位的时代相当,为中更新世中晚期。分析不同种类的生态类型并依据最小个体数的统计结果,认为早更新世早期本区为相对温湿的草原环境,附近可能有荒漠化现象;早更新世晚期气候较为温湿,无荒漠化现象;中晚更新世主要为林缘—灌丛环境,气候更为湿润。A动物群是华北地区早更新世早期特有的动物群,略具南北过渡区的特征;B动物群初具现代动物区系的面貌;C动物群基本与现代动物区系一致。
