该项研究采用本课题组提纯的赭曲霉毒素A(Ochratoxin A·简称OA)和研制的兔抗OA抗体等,进行间接荧光法和ELISA间接法检测OA的试验。通过对不同浓度的OA纯品和含毒饲料浸提液及中毒死亡鸡内脏的间接荧光染色,均能检出分布均匀、大小有别的黄绿色荧光亮点;用OA为被检抗原和兔抗OA抗体与羊抗兔IgG-HRP进行ELISA间接法试验,对含不同浓度OA的试验孔和对照孔的检测,结果均正确稳定。研究结果证明,以上两种检测方法检测OA均具有灵敏、特异、快速等优点。     

利用荧光SSR分析中国糜子遗传多样性

分析糜子种质资源的遗传多样性,有助于了解糜子起源与进化,可为糜子优异种质发掘及资源高效利用提供理论基础。本研究利用15个糜子特异性荧光SSR标记检测来源于中国11个省(区)的132份糜子种质资源,检测到107个等位变异,每个位点等位变异数为2~14个,平均7个;基因多样性指数为0.0936~0.8676,平均0.5298;多态性信息含量为0.0893~0.8538,平均0.4864。采用遗传距离的聚类将试验材料分为4类,类群I来自东北春糜子区,类群II来自黄土高原春、夏糜子区,类群III来自于北方春糜子区,类群IV来自北方春糜子区和黄土高原春、夏糜子区。分析模型的遗传结构表明,中国糜子资源来自4个(东北地区、黄土高原、北方地区和西北地区)基因库,与基于遗传距离的聚类结果基本一致,均与材料的地理起源相关。糜子遗传变异丰富,主要存在于糜子材料间。该结果从分子水平上准确揭示了中国糜子的遗传多样性。     

同步荧光法测定色氨酸

用同步荧光法测定了玉米、小麦、花粉等样品中的色氨酸.一般氨基酸分析用氨基酸分析仪和液相色谱仪,而色氨酸在酸解样品时被分解测不出.要测定色氨酸,需要重新制备样品,改变体系,比较繁杂.在多种氨基酸中仅有色氨酸、酪氨酸和苯丙氨酸有天然荧光,色氨酸的天然荧光最强,提供了直接测定的有利条件.用4N氢氧化钠碱解样品,在105℃时保温24小时,然后稀释,调pH为10.5—11之间,定容.最后用同步光谱扫描的办法测定,即激发波长和发射波长的单色器之间固定一定的波长差(Δλ=68nm),同时扫描,得到一个同步荧光光谱.其浓度和荧光强度有良好的线性关系,测定范围是0.01—0.20μg/ml.本方法弥补了在氨基酸测定中酸解样品时,色氨酸被分解测不出的不足,而且方法比较简单灵敏.

Evaluation of fluorochromes for imaging bacteria in soil

The distribution of inoculated Escherichia coli cells and indigenous bacteria in a silt loam soil and a sandy soil was studied using fluorescence microscopy techniques. Ethidium bromide stained inoculated cells against the soil and resin background. Satisfactory results were also obtained with epifluorescence microscopy of samples stained with calcofluor white M2R (CFW) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Indigenous soil bacteria were visualized in soil thin sections, after staining with ethidium bromide, using fluorescence microscopy. The density of these bacteria was estimated to be 10⁷-10⁸ cells/cm³. Inoculated E. coli cells, stained with one of the green fluorochromes (fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazinyl)aminofluorescein, or eosin Y), could be clearly distinguished in sandy soil thin sections. Confocal laser scanning microscopy with 3D image reconstruction was also successfully applied to characterize distribution of E. coli introduced to soil. The fate of introduced bacteria and the location of indigenous bacteria in soil can be confirmed using the microscopic techniques described in this paper.     

Grazing of a common species of soil protozoa (Acanthamoeba castellanii) affects rhizosphere bacterial community composition and root architecture of rice (Oryza sativa L.)

We performed a controlled experiment with rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) growing in Petri dishes on homogeneous nutrient agar containing a simple rhizosphere food web consisting of a diverse bacterial community and a common soil protozoa, Acanthamoeba castellanii, as bacterial grazer. Presence of amoebae increased bacterial activity and significantly changed the community composition and spatial distribution of bacteria in the rhizosphere. In particular, Betaproteobacteria did benefit from protozoan grazing. We hypothesize that the changes in bacterial community composition affected the root architecture of rice plants. These effects on root architecture affect a fundamental aspect of plant productivity. Root systems in presence of protozoa were characterized by high numbers of elongated (L-type) laterals, those laterals that are a prerequisite for the construction of branched root systems. This was in sharp contrast to root system development in absence of protozoa, where high numbers of lateral root primordia and short (S-type) laterals occurred which did not grow out of the rhizosphere region of the axile root. As a consequence of nutrient release from grazed bacteria and changes in root architecture, the nitrogen content of rice shoots increased by 45% in presence of protozoa. Our study illustrates that interactions over three trophic levels, i.e. between plants, bacteria and protozoa significantly modify root architecture and nutrient uptake by plants.
