Effect of cyclodextrin diallyl maleate on methane production, ruminal fermentation and microbes in vitro and in vivo

Effects of β‐cyclodextrin diallyl maleate (CD‐M) on methane production, ruminal fermentation and digestibility were studied both in vitro and in vivo. In in vitro study, diluted ruminal fluid (30 mL) was incubated anaerobically at 38°C for 6 and 24 h with or without CD‐M using hay plus concentrate (1.5:1) as a substrate. The CD‐M was added at different concentrations (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 g/L). The pH of the medium and numbers of protozoa were not affected by the addition of CD‐M. Total volatile fatty acids were increased and ammonia‐N was decreased, molar proportion of acetate was decreased and propionate was increased (P < 0.05) by CD‐M. Methane was inhibited (P < 0.05) by 14–76%. The effect of CD‐M on methane production and ruminal fermentation was further investigated in vivo using four Holstein steers in a cross‐over design. The steers were fed Sudangrass hay and concentrate mixture (1.5:1) with or without CD‐M (2% of feed dry matter) as a supplement. Ruminal proportion of acetate tended to decrease and that of propionate was increased (P < 0.05) 2 h after CD‐M dosing. Total viable counts, cellulolytic, sulfate reducing, acetogenic bacteria and protozoa were unaffected while methanogenic bacteria were decreased (P < 0.05) by CD‐M. The plasma concentration of glucose was increased, whereas that of urea‐N was decreased (P < 0.05). Methane was inhibited (P < 0.05) from 36.4 to 30.1 L/kg dry matter intake by the addition of CD‐M. Apparent digestibilities of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber were not affected while that of crude protein was increased (P < 0.05) in the medicated steers. These data suggested that dietary supplementation of CD‐M decreased methane production and improved nutrient use.

Influence of thiosulfate on nitrification,denitrification, and production of nitric oxide and nitrous oxide in soil

Thiosulfate and CS₂ inhibit nitrification. The effect of the addition of thiosulfate on the turnover of inorganic N compounds was tested in an Egyptian and a German arable soil under nitrifying and denitrifying conditions. For nitrification, the soils were amended with NH _inf4 ^sup+ and incubated under aerobic conditions. For denitrification, the soils were amended with NO _inf3 ^sup- and incubated under anaerobic conditions. In both cases, the thiosulfate decreased with time while tetrathionate accumulated to an intermediate extent. Both compounds disappeared completely after <25 days. Production of CS₂ was not observed. Carbonyl sulfide was produced only in the Egyptian soil, but production decreased with increasing amounts of added thiosulfate. Under nitrifying conditions, the addition of increasing amounts of thiosulfate (25, 50, and 100 g S g^-1 dry weight) resulted in decreasing rates of NH _inf4 ^sup+ oxidation to NO _inf3 ^sup- ; it also resulted in an increasing intermediate accumulation of NO _inf2 ^sup- and NO, and in an increasing production of N₂O. Under denitrifying conditions, the addition of increasing amounts of thiosulfate did not significantly affect the rate of NO _inf3 ^sup- reduction, and resulted in an increasing intermediate accumulation of NO _inf2 ^sup- and of NO only in the German soil in which the production of N₂O was slightly inhibited by thiosulfate. These results demonstrate that the nitrification of NH _inf4 ^sup+ and NO _inf2 ^sup- was inhibited by increasing concentrations of thiosulfate and/or tetrathionate without involving the formation of volatile S compounds as potential nitrification inhibitors. Denitrification was not affected by the addition of thiosulfate.     

Distribution of protein disulfide isomerase during maturation of pig oocytes

Oocyte maturation in mammals is characterized by a dramatic reorganization of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In mice, the ER forms accumulations in the germinal vesicle (GV) stage and distinctive cortical clusters in metaphase II (MII) of the oocyte. Multiple evidence suggests that this ER distribution is important in preparing the oocyte for Ca²⁺ oscillations, which trigger oocyte activation at fertilization. In this study, we investigated the time course and illustrated the possible functional role of ER distribution during maturation of porcine oocytes by immunostaining with protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). PDI forms clusters in the cytoplasm of oocytes. After immunostaining, PDI clusters were identified throughout the cytoplasm from the GV to metaphase I (MI) stage; however, at the MII stage, the PDI formed large clusters (1–2 µm) in the animal pole around the first polar body. PDI distribution was prevented by bacitracin, a PDI inhibitor. Our experiments indicated that, during porcine oocyte maturation, PDI undergoes a dramatic reorganization. This characteristic distribution is different from that in the mouse oocyte. Moreover, our study suggested that formation of PDI clusters in the animal pole is a specific characteristic of matured porcine oocytes.

Inhibitory Effect of Dimethyl Disulfide from Burkholderia pyrrocinia WY6-5 on Aspergillus flavus and Aflatoxins in Peanuts During Storage Period

【Objective】The objective of this study is to verify the antifungal effect of Burkholderia pyrrocinia WY6-5, evaluate its control efficacy against Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxins in peanuts during storage period, analyze the inhibitory mechanism, identify antifungal volatiles and detect the minimal inhibitory concentration to A. flavus, so as to provide novel strategies for the prevention and control of fungal diseases and mycotoxin during storage period.【Method】Face-to-face dual cultural test was conducted to analyze the antifungal activity of volatiles from WY6-5. Active charcoal as volatile adsorbent was added into the tests to verify the antifungal activity of volatiles. Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) emitted form strain WY6-5 was challenged with peanut kernels inoculated with A. flavus conidia in sealed airspace without physical contact. A. flavus cells on peanut coat were collected, fixed in osmic acid, and analyzed through scanning electron microscope (SEM). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to test the inner structure of A. flavus cell affected by volatiles from WY6-5. The commercial DMDS was purchased, serially diluted, and co-cultured with A. flavus conidia and mycelia to detect the minimal inhibitory concentration, respectively.【Result】B. pyrrocinia WY6-5 isolated from rhizosphere soil of tea plants could produce volatile DMDS, prevent the growth of A. flavus mycelia, the inhibition rate was over 95%. Additionally, under the condition of high water activity (a_w), WY6-5 could also inhibit the A. flavus infection and aflatoxins production in peanuts during storage period. In peanuts of control treatment, the disease incidence was 100%, and the total concentration of aflatoxins was 399.32 μg?kg ^-1 (a_w 0.859) and 3 143.19 μg?kg ^-1 (a_w 0.923), respectively. When WY6-5 was added in the treatment, the disease incidence decreased to 2% (a_w 0.859) and 21% (a_w 0.923), respectively. The concentration of aflatoxins decreased to 4.86 μg?kg ^-1 (a_w 0.859) and 121.37 μg?kg ^-1 (a_w 0.923), respectively. The inhibition rate of WY6-5 against aflatoxins contamination was 98.78% and 96.14% compared to the control treatment. SEM analysis proved that DMDS from WY6-5 inhibited the germination of A. flavus conidia. TEM analysis further proved that the inner cell structures of A. flavus conidia were not severely damaged by volatiles. Volatile DMDS showed great antifungal activity. The minimal inhibitory concentration against mycelia growth was 100 μL?L ^-1(compound volume/airspace volume). The minimal inhibitory concentration against conidia germination was 50 μL?L ^-1(compound volume/airspace volume). 【Conclusion】 B. pyrrocinia WY6-5 can produce valid antifungal volatile DMDS, which can completely inhibit the mycelia growth and conidia germination of A. flavus at low concentration, and greatly prevent the development of A. flavus disease and aflatoxins contamination in peanuts during storage period. WY6-5 and the produced DMDS provide novel bio-active agents for fungal diseases control and mycotoxins during storage period.

热加工过程中鲍鱼腹足蛋白间作用力及其质构特性

为探究蛋白质形成凝胶过程中其化学作用力的变化规律以及与凝胶特性之间的关系,该文以鲍鱼腹足为原料,采用溶液分级提取方法,并结合扫描电镜和红外光谱法,考察热加工中鲍鱼腹足蛋白间作用力及其质构特性的变化情况。结果表明,随着加热温度升高(60、80、100℃),扫描电镜结果显示,鲍鱼腹足中间部位与边缘和过渡部位形成孔洞较小、排列紧密的网络结构,同时红外结果表明,随温度升高,蛋白二级结构发生明显变化,N-H弯曲和C-N伸缩振动较为明显,α-螺旋变为无规则卷曲结构,肌球蛋白疏水性增加,-S-S-形成。此时,对应离子键、氢键含量均呈下降趋势,疏水键相对含量呈先上升后下降趋势,二硫键、非二硫共价键含量呈上升趋势。进一步研究表明,各化学作用力与蛋白凝胶质构特性具有高度相关性。在较低温度下(60℃)离子键、氢键和疏水键对凝胶稳定性起主要作用,此时形成的凝胶较柔软;在较高温度下(80、100℃)二硫键、非二硫共价键为维持凝胶稳定的主要作用力,此时凝胶特性较佳,富有弹性、较好的凝聚性和回复性。该研究为热加工过程中鲍鱼腹足蛋白质变化的机理提供参考依据。
