Tributyltin chloride (TBTCl)-tolerant bacteria accounted for 90% of the flora in natural seawater to which TBTCl was added. These tolerant bacteria were insensitive to 250 nmol of TBTCl per disc, and all were Vibrio species. Total counts of viable bacteria did not decrease upon storage of the TBTCl-treated seawater, indicating that enrichment of tolerant strains took place. Addition of CdSO4 to seawater resulted in the occurrence of TBTCl-tolerant bacteria as well as Cd-tolerant bacteria, suggesting some correlation of Cd tolerance and TBTCl tolerance. 相似文献

The effect of ozone exposure on the activities of reactive oxygen scavenging enzymes (SOD†, catalase, GSH-Px) in RBC of Japanese charr (Salvelinus leucomaenis) was examined. Ozone (0, 0.4 and 0.7 ppm as initial concentrations) was exposed to Japanese charr for 30 min, which definitely caused serious membrane damage to RBC of fish. Ozone exposure at 0.4 and 0.7 ppm decreased activities of both catalase and GSH-Px by 80 to 57+ of the control. On the other hand, the activities of SOD remained unaffected even by 0.7 ppm ozone exposure. A hypothesis on the RBC membrane damage and participation of SOD and heme-iron was proposed. 相似文献

Piper ribersoides Wall. (Piperaceae), which is called “Khua Sa khan” in the local language, is mainly grown in Laos. This plant is used as a food in Laos, but no report on its metabolites exists. Crushed stems were immersed in methanol. The ethyl acetate fraction showed potential insect antifeedant activity for Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and some of the active compounds were piperine analogs. Piperine and its geometrical isomer independently showed potent antifeedant activities, and piperine was presumably the main active compound in the methanol extract. Interestingly, we discovered that the antifeedant activity was reduced when they were mixed (50:50). 相似文献

Highly conserved amino acids in the N-terminal region of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Pr55(gag) are recognized to be critical for the attachment of myristic acid. We previously reported that the env protein was not detected on the cell surface by blocking of N-myristoylation of Pr55(gag) with N-myristoyl glycinal diethylacetal. Here, we constructed a mutant by substituting the N-terminal glycine of Pr55(gag) with alanine to demonstrate that N-myristoylation of Pr55(gag) is required for efficient env protein transportation to the cell surface. The expression level of the env protein on the surface of Jurkat cells transfected with the myristoylation-defective phenotype was observed to be significantly reduced by electron microscopic analyses with a gold-labeled monoclonal antibody against the env protein. In addition, Jurkat cells transfected with the myristoylation-defective phenotype lost the ability of envelope-mediated cell-to-cell fusion. The results suggest that N-myristoylation of the HIV-1 gag protein is necessary for efficient env protein transportation to the cell surface. 相似文献

Mechanism of oxidative damage to fish red blood cells by ozone 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present study was conducted to elucidate the adverse effects of ozone exposure on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) red blood cells (RBCs). We evaluated whether hemoglobin (Hb) or Hb-derived free iron could participate in the RBC damage using an in vitro ozone exposure system. Ozone exposure induced hemolysis, formation of methemoglobin, and RBC membrane lipid peroxidation. This RBC damage was not suppressed by the addition of a specific iron chelator (deferoxamine mesilate) to the medium but was suppressed by carbon monoxide (CO) treatment before ozone exposure. Generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in RBC was observed upon ozone exposure but was significantly suppressed by CO treatment before ozone exposure. Thus the Hb status (i.e., Hb redox condition) and H2O2 generation in RBC should play important roles in mediating RBC damage by ozone exposure. In other words, neither ozone nor its derivative directly attacked from the outside of the cell, but ozone that penetrated through the membrane derived the reactive oxygen species from Hb inside of the cell. 相似文献

The n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts of the stems and the ethyl acetate extracts of roots from Prangos pabularia afforded an gamma-pyrone derivative and furanocoumarin derivatives with three glucose and gamma-pyrone (pabularin A, B and C), along with 26 previously known compounds (18 coumarins, six terpenoids and two glycosides). Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic studies. Of these, 16 coumarin derivatives isolated from P. pabularia were tested for antibacterial activity and inhibition of cytokine release. 相似文献

The resinous portions of Aquilaria plants, called agarwood, have been used as medicines and incenses. Agarwood contains a great variety of sesquiterpenes, and a study using cultured cells of Aquilaria showed the production of sesquiterpenes (α-guaiene, α-humulene, and δ-guaiene) to be induced by treatment with methyl jasmonate (MJ). In this study, the accumulation and production of sesquiterpenes were quantified. The amounts accumulated and produced reached a maximum at 12 h, and the most abundant product was α-humulene at 6 h and δ-guaiene after 12 h. However, a headspace analysis of the cells revealed that α-humulene is likely to be volatilized; so overall, the most abundant sesquiterpene in the cells was δ-guaiene. A cDNA library from RNA isolated from MJ-treated cells was screened using PCR methodologies to isolate five clones with very similar amino acid sequences. These clones were expressed in Escherichia coli, and enzymatic reactions using farnesyl pyrophosphate revealed that three of the clones yielded the same compounds as extracted from MJ-treated cells, the major product being δ-guaiene. These genes and their encoded enzymes are the first sesquiterpene synthases yielding guaiane-type sesquiterpenes as their major products to be reported. Expression of a fourth terpene synthase gene in bacteria resulted in the accumulation of the protein in insoluble forms. Site-directed mutagenesis of the inactive clone and three-dimensional homology modeling suggested that the structure of the N-terminal domain was important in facilitating proper folding of the protein to form a catalytically active structure. 相似文献

Perceptions of biodiversity, environmental services, and conservation of planted mangroves: a case study on Nijhum Dwip Island, Bangladesh 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Restoration of mangroves is often considered a way to minimize losses incurred from their decline and to provide additional
services to coastal communities. However, the success of restoration programs is often focused on biological or ecological
criteria. The situation is no exception in Bangladesh, which houses the world’s largest mangrove plantations. This study has
been undertaken in a south-central estuarine island (Nijhum Dwip) of the Bangladesh coast and aims to understand societal
perception on the achievements of a plantation program. Through 110 household interviews and seven group discussions, an assessment
was conducted of peoples’ perception about major flora and fauna of the mangrove ecosystem, benefits derived from the forest,
present condition of the forest, causes of degradation, and ways to improve the situation. Around one-fourth of the respondents
mentioned that they were highly dependent on the ecosystem. The most important perceived benefits were: provision of raw materials,
prevention against natural disasters, climate regulation and soil retention. However, the majority (>80%) of the respondents
perceived the ecosystem to be degrading. Encroachment and illicit felling were identified as the main causes of such degradation.
In order to arrest the continued degradation allowed by conventional forest management flaws, adaptive co-management has been
recommended to conserve this ecosystem in a more equitable way. 相似文献
