Verrucosamide,a Cytotoxic 1,4-Thiazepane-Containing Thiodepsipeptide from a Marine-Derived Actinomycete

A new cytotoxic thiodepsipeptide, verrucosamide (1), was isolated along with the known, related cyclic peptide thiocoraline, from the extract of a marine-derived actinomycete, a Verrucosispora sp., our strain CNX-026. The new peptide, which is composed of two rare seven-membered 1,4-thiazepane rings, was elucidated by a combination of spectral methods and the absolute configuration was determined by a single X-ray diffraction study. Verrucosamide (1) showed moderate cytotoxicity and selectivity in the NCI 60 cell line bioassay. The most susceptible cell lines were MDA-MB-468 breast carcinoma with an LD₅₀ of 1.26 µM, and COLO 205 colon adenocarcinoma with an LD₅₀ of 1.4 µM. Also isolated along with verrucosamide were three small 3-hydroxy(alkoxy)-quinaldic acid derivatives that appear to be products of the same biosynthetic pathway.     

烟草秸秆利用及酵素液效果分析

为了有效利用田间废弃烟草秸秆,提高其利用率,从而助力烟草植株健康成长。本研究运用田间常见废弃的烟草秸秆为材料,制作成具有一定肥效的酵素液,并与之前筛选出的烟草病菌拮抗放线菌——灰产色链霉菌(Streptomyces griseochromogenes)混施,在苗期及采收期调查混合酵素液对烟苗和烟株生长发育影响。结果表明,烟草酵素液的施用可增加烟草的产量及质量,提高烟草上等烟的比率,其中烟草酵素液与S. griseochromogenes混施的效果最佳,优于其他处理,并显著优于对照。将烟草酵素液与拮抗放线菌混用的方法可推荐到生产上使用,既可减少废弃秸秆在田间造成病原菌的累积,又可有效提高烟草的产量及质量。     

番茄内生链霉菌S5的分离及其除草活性

采用植物内生放线菌分离方法从健康番茄（Lycopersicon esculentum）根中分离纯化出58株内生放线菌，从中挑选部分代表性菌株进行代谢产物除草活性检测，发现编号为S5的菌株的代谢产物对小麦（Triticum aesfivum L．）和绿豆（Phaseolus radiatus L．）种子的发芽有强烈的抑制作用，但对发芽后的幼苗生长无明显影响。以百喜草（Paspalum notatum）和狗牙根（Cynodon dactylon）为实验对象，证明S5菌株的代谢产物的确能抑制草籽的发芽，该活性具有潜在的除草效能。经初步鉴定，S5菌株为淡紫灰链霉菌淡青变种（Streptomyces lavendulaevar．glaucescens）。发酵条件实验结果表明，S5菌株在1％葡萄糖和0．3％牛肉膏的S培养基中，以2％接种量在pH7．0和25℃摇床培养，可得到最强的抑制种子发芽的生物活性。     

Cell-Associated Adsorption of Thorium or Uranium from Aqueous System Using Various Microorganisms

The cell-associated adsorption of thorium or uranium from the solution containing each metal only at pH 3.50 using various microorganisms was examined. Among the species tested, high thorium adsorption abilities were exhibited by strains of the gram-positive bacteria Arthrobacter nicotianae IAM12342, Bacillus megaterium IAM1166, B. Subtilis IAM1026, Micrococcus luteus IAM1056, Rhodococcus erythropolis IAM1399, and Streptomyces levoris HUT6156. And high uranium adsorption abilities were found in some gram-positive bacterial strains S. albus HUT6047, S. levoris HUT6156, and A. nicotianae IAM12342. Among these highly efficient thorium and uranium adsorbing microorganisms, S. levoris, which could adsorb the largest amount of uranium from the aqueous solution at pH 3.50, could adsorb about 383 mol thorium and 390 mol uranium per gram dry weight of microbial cells from the solution containing thorium or uranium at pH 3.50. The amount and time course of thorium adsorbed were almost unaffected by co-existing uranium; however, the adsorption of thorium was faster when carried out after the adsorption of uranium. Thorium adsorption also became faster when uranium was added after thorium adsorption. The effect of pH on thorium adsorption was also discussed.     

苦豆子内生放线菌的分离鉴定及其拮抗菌筛选

采用3种消毒时间对健康苦豆子植株体内的内生放线菌进行分离。结果表明：消毒3 min消除非内生菌的影响效果较好;同一植株分离内生放线菌的数量,根部比茎、叶部多。经初步鉴定,苦豆子内生放线菌以链霉菌属和诺卡氏菌属为最多,分别占分离总数的35%和27%;其次为小多孢菌属,占12%;而类诺卡氏菌属、小单孢菌属、孢囊放线菌属和分枝杆菌属分离较少。26株纯化菌株对茄子枯萎病菌进行平板对峙培养,筛选出3株抑菌带宽度达到10 mm以上的菌株,其中菌株KDS22发酵液抑菌效果最好。

为了使接种微生物壮秧剂在农业生产中得到广泛的应用,通过苗床培养试验,研究了在低磷土壤上(石灰性黑钙土),接种微生物壮秧剂对水稻秧苗吸收氮、磷、钾的影响。结果表明,施用接种抗生菌5406和溶磷菌P77的壮秧剂可以显著提高水稻秧苗冠部氮、磷、钾的含量和吸收量,增加了根部氮、钾的含量和吸收量,减少了根部磷的含量和吸收量。研究表明,试验各处理中,P4处理(接种P77,浓度为5×107cfu/g)效果最好,其次是P2处理(接种5406,浓度为5×107cfu/g),即在壮秧剂中接种P77的效果好于5406,并且接种浓度为5×107cfu/g时较好。

Na+,K+,Mg2+,Ca2+浓度对嗜盐放线菌生长的影响

通过研究近30株嗜盐或耐盐放线菌在不同浓度的Na^＋，K^＋，M^2＋，Ca^2＋条件下的生长范围，发现耐盐放线菌对Na^＋，K^＋，M^2＋有广泛的适应性。只有少数耐盐放线菌能在较底浓度的CaCl2条件下生长；多数嗜盐放线菌生长所需的Na^＋可被K^＋，Mg^2＋所替代，而不能被Ca^2＋所替代，少数嗜盐放线菌的生长离不开Na^＋，对Na^＋有高度的专一性。因此，提出自然环境中是否也存在类似的专嗜K^＋或专嗜Mg^2＋的嗜盐放线菌的推测。
