白腹锦鸡,红腹锦鸡,中国雉鸡SC组型的比较研究

以微铺展—硝酸银染色技术制备三种鸡的SC标本,进行电镜观察。结果表明:三种鸡的SC组非常相似,即2n=82,ZZ/ZW型性别决定,雄性为ZZ。除1号SC和Z-SC为中着丝粒外,其余均为端着丝粒。Z-SC的相对长度有明显的细胞间差异;平均相对长度度介于第3和第4号SC之间。三者SC组型上的差异主要表现在相应SC长度上的不同。并对其亲缘关系及在鸟类进化中的可能地位进行了讨论。此外,在微铺展法制备的锦鸡精母细胞SC标本中还发现了巨大中心粒,这在高等动物尚属首次。     

Application of automated DNA sizing technology for genotyping microsatellite loci.

Highly polymorphic microsatellite loci offer great promise for gene mapping studies, but fulfillment of this potential will require substantial improvements in methods for accurate and efficient genotyping. Here, we report a genotyping method based on fluorescently labeled PCR primers and size characterization of PCR products using an automated DNA fragment analyzer. We capitalize on the availability of three distinct fluorescent dyes to label uniquely loci that overlap in size, and this innovation increases by threefold the number of loci that can be analyzed simultaneously. We label size standards with a fourth dye and combine these with the microsatellite PCR products in each gel lane. Computer programs provide very rapid and accurate sizing of microsatellite alleles and efficient data management. In addition, fluorescence signals are linear over a much greater range of intensity than conventional autoradiography. This facilitates multiplexing of loci (since signal intensities often vary greatly) and helps distinguish major peaks from artifacts, thereby improving genotyping accuracy.     

牛胰多肽与CL／PC脂质体作用后二级结构的变化

用傅立叶变换红外光谱研究了ＢＰＰ与膜作用后其二级结构的变化,通过对红外光谱中酰胺Ｉ谱带进行解卷积、微分及曲线拟合等处理,结果表明,ＢＰＰ与脂膜作用后,其二级结构中α－螺旋成分增多,无规卷曲成分减少。     

Se和V_E与克山病

以克山病病区粮配成基础饲料,另在基础饲料中分别补充Ｓｅ或ＶＥ,或Ｓｅ＋ＶＥ喂养大鼠,在细胞及亚细胞水平上以Ｃａ代谢为主研究并比较了Ｓｅ和ＶＥ在克山病病因中的作用。测量了心肌细胞和心肌线粒体的Ｃａ代谢及有关指标、心肌线粒体能量转换功能及心肌组织自由基含量。结果表明,在低Ｓｅ病区粮中补充Ｓｅ或ＶＥ均能在一定程度上预防病区粮中致病因素对心肌细胞及线粒体的损伤;并且补充Ｓｅ或ＶＥ均能使心肌组织中自由基含量减少。提示Ｓｅ和ＶＥ是通过清除体内过量自由基预防细胞和线粒体的损伤的。但值得注意的是,实验中所用病区粮ＶＥ含量不低于甚至高于非病区对照粮,在低Ｓｅ情况下,所补ＶＥ的量需要相当大（如本实验中补充２００μｇ／ｇ）才能较明显地预防心肌细胞和心肌线粒体的损伤。通过对这些结果的分析,进一步肯定低Ｓｅ是克山病形成的重要因素之一。     

Purification and characterization of a gamma-like DNA polymerase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

A crude in vitro system which initiates chloroplast DNA synthesis near the D-loop site mapped by electron microscopy [Wu, M., Lou, J. K., Chang, D. Y., Chang, C. H., & Nie, Z. Q. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 83, 6761-6765] consists of soluble proteins and proteins extracted from purified thylakoid membrane. In this paper, a DNA polymerase activity was purified to near homogeneity from the soluble protein fraction of this in vitro system by sequential chromatographic separations on heparin-agarose, DEAE-cellulose, and single-stranded DNA-agarose columns and sedimentation in a glycerol gradient. In the glycerol gradient, the enzyme activity sedimented at a position corresponding to a 110-kDa protein. Electrophoretic analysis of the highly purified fraction on SDS-polyacrylamide gel revealed a major polypeptide band with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 116 kDa. In situ DNA polymerase activity assay shows that the DNA polymerization function is associated with the 116-kDa band and an 80-kDa band which could be a subunit of the enzyme. Polymerization activity is inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, ethidium bromide, and dideoxycytosine triphosphate and is relatively resistant to aphidicolin. Poly(dA).(dT)10 and gapped double-stranded DNA are preferred templates. The purified enzyme contains no exonuclease activity and can initiate DNA replication in a supercoiled plasmid DNA template containing the chloroplast DNA replication origin.     

水体中亚硝酸盐积累的生物过程及影响因素研究进展

亚硝酸盐是氮循环过程的中间产物,其积累超过一定量则会抑制微生物的生长与代谢,也会给人与水生生物带来健康风险。而在高氮污水生物脱氮工艺中,持续维持亚硝酸盐的积累能实现短程硝化过程,降低生物脱氮的能耗进而降低运营成本。本文综述了在水环境中亚硝酸盐积累的生物过程与积累原因,并对影响亚硝酸盐积累的因素进行了总结,旨在为提高污水处理过程中氮的去除效率,降低运营成本,减少排放污水及自然水体中亚硝态氮含量提供参考。     

香溪河河流连续统特征研究

以香溪河附石藻类密度、藻类叶绿素a浓度、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数及生态系统初级生产力随河流级别的变化为例探索该河流的连续统特征。结果表明,附石藻类密度、藻类叶绿素a浓度和Shannon-Wiener多样性指数总体上都有随着河流级别增加而增加的趋势,但在1～3级河段之间这种趋势并不明显,甚至出现了逆转。河流初级生产力也有随河流级别增加而增加的趋势,并在第4级河流达到最大,随后有所下降。在全水系范围内河流初级生产力(P)与群落呼吸(R)比值P／R均大于1,说明香溪河是一条以自养生产为主的河流。所研究的特征并不完全与连续统概念的预测相一致,表明河流已经受到了一定程度的人为干扰。
