利用叶绿体基因组序列对地黄属及其近缘类群的系统发育关系进行研究。基于GenBank公共数据库,下载地黄属及相关类群的叶绿体全基因组序列52条(50个物种),包括广义玄参科物种23种、近缘类群17种和外类群8种(木犀科和苦苣苔科),分别采用最大似然法及贝叶斯推断进行系统发育分析。结果表明,叶绿体全基因组数据能够显著提高系统发育分析的支持率;广义玄参科不是一个单系;除外类群外,我们共得到5个分支,分别为列当科、泡桐属、肉果草属、玄参属、车前科。地黄属形成一个单系,为列当科其它属的基部类群。列当科内物种间叶绿体基因组大小及所包含的基因数目均差异显著。本研究结果支持APG系统对相关科属的处理,包括将婆婆纳属、腹水草属、毛地黄属从广义玄参科移出至车前科;火焰草属、钟萼草属、马先蒿属、地黄属移出至列当科;泡桐属独立为泡桐科。     

福建黄兔线粒体基因组全序列测定与分析

福建黄兔是中国优良的小型兼用品种，从线粒体水平分析福建黄兔在兔形目动物中的系统发育地位，对探究其起源、进化和种群分类具有重要意义。利用PCR高保真扩增技术和生物信息学软件对福建黄兔线粒体基因组进行获取、拼接与注释。结果发现福建黄兔线粒体基因组全长17 000 bp(Genbank No.MN518689)，主要包括tRNA基因（22个）、rRNA基因（2个）、蛋白编码基因（13个）和控制区（1个）4 部分，基因排列紧密。除控制区，共存在37个编码基因，有9个基因由轻链（L链）编码，其余28个编码基因均由重链（H链）编码。22个tRNA基因中，除 tRNA-Ser(AGY)基因由于缺失DHU臂不能形成三叶草结构外，其余21种tRNA基因均可折叠形成经典的三叶草结构。控制区含有3种结构域：延长终止序列区（ETAS1和ETAS2）、中央保守区、保守序列区（CSB1、CSB2和CSB3），其中，CSB1和CSB2间存在200 bp的短重复序列，CSB3和tRNA-Phe间存在306 bp的长重复序列。基于线粒体基因组控制区序列构建10 种兔形目动物的系统进化树，结果表明福建黄兔起源于穴兔，支持将福建黄兔划归为穴兔属。

Phylogenetic relationships in the North African genus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hedysarum</Emphasis> as inferred from ITS sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA

Sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA were analysed to precise their length (637–643 bp) and resolve phylogenetic relationships among eight Mediterranean species of the genus Hedysarum (Fabaceae). The infra-specific variability levels of the ITS sequences of spontaneous population of H. coronarium proved a lack of polymorphism both in the length and in the sequences examined in this species. Hence, a consensus ITS sequence characterising each Hedysarum species has been investigated for analysis of inter-specific polymorphisms. The level of variation of ITS sequence was high enough to make the ITS1 and ITS2 a useful tool for phylogenetic reconstruction. However, ITS2 seems to be relatively more polymorphic and more informative than ITS1 regarding length or GC percent. The phylogenic relationships in the genus Hedysarum based on ITS1 and ITS2 sequences taken independently or together, are discussed in the context of current work in molecular biosystematics. Results exhibited the distinctiveness of the two H. spinosissimum subspecies (i.e. H. spinosissimum ssp. capitatum and H. spinosissimum ssp. spinosissimum). In addition, the great similarity of the ITS sequences between H. coronarium (the only cultivated species of the genus) and H. carnosum suggests the usefulness of the latter in selection programmes to improve pastoral production in semi-arid areas.     

胨冻样芽孢杆菌(Bacillus mucilaginosus YNUCC0001)絮凝剂生产、絮凝特性及其系统发育学分析

对BacillusmucilaginosusYNUCC000116SrDNA的1481bp片段与GenBank中最相似的16个分类单位进行了比较。UPGMA,NJ,ME和MP方法构建的系统发育树显示B.mucilaginosusYNUCC0001与B.mucilaginosusHSCC1605T、B.mucilaginosus1480D及Paenibacillussp.NBT形成一个单系群分支。在50L全自动发酵罐中30℃发酵52h后,菌株YNUCC0001产生的胞外生物多聚絮凝剂(EBF)达到最大产率(粘度:3420C.P.)。在pH4.0、用量为0.25mlL-1的条件下,这种EBF对高岭土悬浊液的絮凝活性最大(99.8%);121℃高压灭菌60min后絮凝活性维持在98.6%。Hg2+,Ca2+,Mg2+,K+,Zn2+对其絮凝活性有促进作用,而Fe3+、Al3+、EDTA和Cu2+则有强烈抑制。

Comparative evaluation of MCP gene in worldwide strains of Megalocytivirus (Iridoviridae family) for early diagnostic marker

Members of the Iridoviridae family have been considered as aetiological agents of iridovirus diseases, causing fish mortalities and economic losses all over the world. Virus identification based on candidate gene sequencing is faster, more accurate and more reliable than other traditional phenotype methodologies. Iridoviridae viruses are covered by a protein shell (capsid) encoded by the important candidate gene, major capsid protein (MCP). In this study, we investigated the potential of the MCP gene for use in the diagnosis and identification of infections caused Megalocytivirus of the Iridoviridae family. We selected data of 66 Iridoviridae family isolates (53 strains of Megalocytivirus, eight strains of iridoviruses and five strains of Ranavirus) infecting various species of fish distributed all over the world. A total of 53 strains of Megalocytivirus were used for designing the complete primer sets for identifying the most hypervariable region of the MCP gene. Further, our in silico analysis of 102 sequences of related and unrelated viruses reconfirms that primer sets could identify strains more specifically and offers a useful and fast alternative for routine clinical laboratory testing. Our findings suggest that phenotype observation along with diagnosis using universal primer sets can help detect infection or carriers at an early stage.
