不同固定条件下细胞与活细胞的原子力显微镜实时观察

用原子力显微镜（atom force microscope,AFM）观察固定细胞的最佳条件并在生理溶液中对活细胞实时观察.用不同固定剂和同一固定剂的不同浓度处理细胞;不加任何固定剂而直接在生理溶液中对细胞进行AFM成像.以戊二醛为固定剂并使用0.5%～1%的浓度固定细胞,后用缓冲溶液漂洗,再对细胞进行成像时可获得质量良好的图像.直接在生理溶液中进行观察,成像质量低于使用固定剂的细胞,但保持了细胞的生活原貌.在用原子力显微镜高分辨率观察生理条件下细胞的特点时,需要在制样与观测系统两方面进行改进.     

“共轭聚合物-产电菌”复合生物电极构建及其在微生物燃料电池中的应用

微生物燃料电池(Microbial fuel cell,MFC)作为一种生物电化学装置,在可再生能源生产和废水处理方面的巨大潜力已引起广泛关注。然而MFC面临输出功率低、欧姆内阻高以及启动时间长等问题,极大限制了其在实际工程中的应用。MFC中阳极是微生物附着的载体,对电子的产生及传递起着关键作用,开发优质的生物电极已发展成为改善MFC性能的有效途径。共轭聚合物具有成本低、电导率高、化学稳定性及生物相容性好等优点,利用共轭聚合物修饰生物电极结构,可以实现大比表面积、缩短电荷转移路径,从而实现高效生物电化学性能。同时,纳米级共轭聚合物包覆细菌,可以使细菌产生的电子有效地传递到电极。文中综述了最近报道的共轭聚合物在MFC中的应用,重点介绍了共轭聚合物修饰的MFC阳极,系统分析了共轭聚合物的优点及局限性,以及这些高效复合生物电极如何解决MFC应用中存在的低输出功率、高欧姆内阻及长启动时间等问题。     

无花果叶共生菌发酵的菌种富集及抑菌活性的筛选

目的从无花果叶中分离和筛选能发酵分解无花果叶及具有抑菌作用的共生菌。方法采用以无花果叶作为唯一碳源的富集培养方法,分离共生菌并分析发酵菌群的构成。同时,通过研磨法直接分离无花果叶内生菌,对分离菌株进行分子生物学鉴定,利用平板滤纸片法进行菌株的抑菌活性分析。结果无花果叶发酵菌群由11种22株细菌构成,其中优势菌为短波单胞菌(Brevundimonas naejangsanensis)、嗜温鞘氨醇杆菌(Sphingobacterium thalpophilum)和副球菌(Paracoccus sp.)。没有获得发酵无花果叶的真菌菌群,只分离出1株产黄青霉菌(Penicillium chrysogenum)。直接分离共获得无花果叶内生细菌8种14株和内生真菌3种9株。抑菌试验表明,来源于富集培养的泡囊短波单胞菌(Brevundimonas vesicularis)和产黄青霉菌以及来源于内生菌的枯草芽胞杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)对枯草芽胞杆菌、大肠埃希菌和金黄色葡萄球菌3种指示菌有不同的抑菌作用,且它们的抑菌谱各不相同。泡囊短波单胞菌只在无花果叶中培养时才表现出抑菌活性。结论短波单胞菌可能与无花果叶的发酵分解有关,泡囊短波单胞菌与无花果叶之间发生了相互作用,因此,这2株菌可以作为无花果叶发酵的候选菌种应用。     

Ecophysiological response and morphological adjustment of two Central Asian desert shrubs towards variation in summer precipitation

As part of global climate change, variation in precipitation in arid ecosystems is leading to plant adaptation in water-use strategies; significant interspecific differences in response will change the plant composition of desert communities. This integrated study on the ecophysiological and individual morphological scale investigated the response, acclimation and adaptation of two desert shrubs, with different water-use strategies, to variations in water conditions. The experiments were carried out on two native dominant desert shrubs, Tamarix ramosissima and Haloxylon ammodendron, under three precipitation treatments (natural, double and no precipitation, respectively), in their original habitats on the southern periphery of Gurbantonggut Desert, Central Asia, during the growing season in 2005. Changes in photosynthesis, transpiration, leaf water potential, water-use efficiency, above-ground biomass accumulation and root distribution of the two species were examined and compared under the contrasting precipitation treatments. There were significant interspecific differences in water-use strategy and maintenance of photosynthesis under variation in precipitation. For the phreatophyte T. ramosissima, physiological activity and biomass accumulation rely on the stable groundwater, which shields it from fluctuation in the water status of the upper soil layers caused by precipitation. For the non-phreatophyte H. ammodendron, efficient morphological adjustment, combined with strong stomatal control, contributes to its acclimation to variation in precipitation. On account of its positive responses to increased precipitation, H. ammodendron is predicted to succeed in interspecific competition in a future, moister habitat.     

垦殖对沼泽湿地土壤呼吸速率的影响

三江平原是我国最大的沼泽化低平原,同时也是受人类活动影响最剧烈的区域之一。选取三江平原两类典型湿地-常年积水的毛果苔草(Carex lasiocapa)沼泽和季节性积水的小叶章(Deyeuxia angustifolia)草甸及由其垦殖的水田和旱田为研究对象,利用静态暗箱-气相色谱法对土壤呼吸速率进行了观测。研究结果表明,小叶章草甸与毛果苔草沼泽土壤呼吸速率的季节变化形式相同,为单峰型,在夏季出现排放峰值,而冬季呼吸速率最低。沼泽湿地垦殖为旱田后,土壤呼吸速率的季节变化形式未发生变化,但垦殖为水田后,土壤呼吸速率排放峰值的时间延后在秋季出现。毛果苔草沼泽、小叶章草甸、旱田及水田通过土壤呼吸释放的碳量分别为(3.1±0.4)、(4.8±0.7)、(2.8±0.4)、(2.2±0.3)tC.hm-2.a-1。毛果苔草沼泽土壤呼吸速率低于小叶章草甸是由沼泽湿地的积水环境差异造成的,而沼泽湿地垦殖为农田后土壤呼吸作用减弱,主要是由于垦殖后土壤有机碳含量大幅降低所致。相关分析表明,温度和土壤湿度(或积水深度)是影响土壤呼吸速率的重要因素,温度与小叶章草甸、毛果苔草沼泽以及旱田土壤呼吸速率呈显著指数关系,Q10值分别为2.1、2.5和1.8,沼泽湿地垦殖为旱田后温度敏感性指数降低,主要是由于土壤微生物营养源减少从而对微生物营养供应受限造成的。小叶章草甸、毛果苔草沼泽、旱田以及水田土壤呼吸速率与土壤湿度/积水深度之间的关系可用线性或二次曲线方程来描述。

2010—2011年对太湖贡湖湾湖滨带生态修复区滨岸挺水植物带(Ⅰ)、湾相沉水植物带(Ⅱ)和堰外开敞水体(Ⅲ)3个滨岸生境梯度带的水质状况和底栖动物群落特征进行了研究。结果表明:调查共发现底栖动物13科18种,其中仅出现于1个生境梯度带的物种7个;在其余的11个物种中,有5个种群的密度在生境梯度带间存在显著差异;比较发现,按底栖动物摄食功能类群的相对比例,刮食者相对丰度在带Ⅰ最高,收集者在带Ⅱ最高,滤食者在带Ⅲ最高,不同生境梯度带间底栖动物的摄食功能类群构成存在显著差异。对底栖动物相对丰度和水环境参数的冗余分析显示,环节动物和昆虫与DO、NO3--N和PO43--P浓度正相关,软体动物则与NO3--N和PO43--P负相关,一些腹足类对低DO耐受能力较强,与NH4+-N和COD正相关。修复区3个梯度带水动力条件、水质状况和底质类型的差异性对底栖动物的分布有重要影响,形成了生活习性、摄食特征等显著不同的3个底栖动物群落。     

Genetic map of Triticum turgidum based on a hexaploid wheat population without genetic recombination for D genome

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: A synthetic doubled-haploid hexaploid wheat population, SynDH1, derived from the spontaneous chromosome doubling of triploid F1 hybrid plants obtained from the cross of hybrids Triticum turgidum ssp. durum line Langdon (LDN) and ssp. turgidum line AS313, with Aegilops tauschii ssp. tauschii accession AS60, was previously constructed. SynDH1 is a tetraploidization-hexaploid doubled haploid (DH) population because it contains recombinant A and B chromosomes from two different T. turgidum genotypes, while all the D chromosomes from Ae. tauschii are homogenous across the whole population. This paper reports the construction of a genetic map using this population. RESULTS: Of the 606 markers used to assemble the genetic map, 588 (97%) were assigned to linkage groups. These included 513 Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers, 72 simple sequence repeat (SSR), one insertion site-based polymorphism (ISBP), and two high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) markers. These markers were assigned to the 14 chromosomes, covering 2048.79 cM, with a mean distance of 3.48 cM between adjacent markers. This map showed good coverage of the A and B genome chromosomes, apart from 3A, 5A, 6A, and 4B. Compared with previously reported maps, most shared markers showed highly consistent orders. This map was successfully used to identify five quantitative trait loci (QTL), including two for spikelet number on chromosomes 7A and 5B, two for spike length on 7A and 3B, and one for 1000-grain weight on 4B. However, differences in crossability QTL between the two T. turgidum parents may explain the segregation distortion regions on chromosomes 1A, 3B, and 6B. CONCLUSIONS: A genetic map of T. turgidum including 588 markers was constructed using a synthetic doubled haploid (SynDH) hexaploid wheat population. Five QTLs for three agronomic traits were identified from this population. However, more markers are needed to increase the density and resolution of this map in the future study.
