We tested the dynamics of nine enzymes during leaf litter decomposition in Xishuangbanna tropical rain-forest both in the
field and laboratory to explore the response of enzyme dynamics to decomposition under different food-web structures. We used
coarse and fine (1 mm and 100 μm mesh size, respectively) litterbags in the field to create different food-web structures
during litter decomposition. Most soil macrofauna such as nematodes could access only the coarse mesh litterbags, leaving
only microbiota, such as mites, in the fine mesh litterbags. In the laboratory, sterilization and inoculation were adopted
to investigate different enzyme dynamics with nematodes or only microbiota participating in litter decomposition. Invertase
and amylase increased more for shorter food webs at the early stages of decomposition, while activities of endocellulase,
β-glucosidase, xylanase and polyphenoloxydase increased to their maxima at the later stages, but greater increase occurred
with extended food webs. Invertase and amylase had negative relationships and endocellulase, β-glucosidase, xylanase and polyphenoloxydase
had positive relationships with litter decomposition (mass loss). The activities of enzymes responded to the process of litter
decomposition. Invertase and amylase played key roles for microbiota utilizing the substrates at early stages of decomposition,
while endocellulase, β-glucosidase, xylanase and polyphenoloxydase worked on the further decay of recalcitrant compounds at
later stages. All enzymes related to carbon decay acted as effective indicators of litter decomposition. The decomposition
of plant organic matter was essentially an enzymatic process.

Soil enzyme activities and water stable aggregates have been identified as sensitive soil quality indicators, but few studies
exist comparing those parameters within buffers, grazed pastures and row-crop systems. Our objective was to examine the effects
of these land uses on the activities of selected enzymes (β-glucosidase, β-glucosaminidase, fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolase,
and dehydrogenase), proportion of water stable aggregates (WSA), soil organic carbon and total nitrogen content. Four management
treatments [grazed pasture (GP), agroforestry buffer (AgB), grass buffer (GB) and row crop (RC)] were sampled in 2009 and
2010 at two depths (0 to 10- and 10 to 20-cm) and analyzed. Most of the soil quality indicators were significantly greater
under perennial vegetation when compared to row crop treatments. Although there were numerical variations, soil quality response
trends were consistent between years. The β-glucosaminidase activity increased slightly from 156 to 177 μg PNP g−1 dry soil while β-glucosidase activity slightly decreased from 248 to 237 μg PNP g−1 dry soil in GB treatment during 2 years. The surface (0–10 cm depth) had greater enzyme activities and WSA than sub-surface
(10–20 cm) samples. WSA increased from 178 to 314 g kg−1 in row crop areas while all other treatments had similar values during the 2 year study. The treatment by depth interaction
was significant (P < 0.05) for β-glucosidase and β-glucosaminidase enzymes in 2009 and for dehydrogenase and β-glucosaminidase in 2010. Soil
enzyme activities were significantly correlated with soil organic carbon content (r ≥ 0.94, P < 0.0001). This is important because soil enzyme activities and microbial biomass can be enhanced by perennial vegetation
and thus improve several other soil quality parameters. These results also support the hypothesis that positive interactions
among management practices, soil biota and subsequent environmental quality effects are of great agricultural and ecological
importance. 相似文献

Pyrolysis reactions of various lignin model dimers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Primary pyrolysis reactions and relative reactivities for depolymerization and condensation/carbonization were evaluated for
various lignin model dimers with α-O-4, β-O-4, β-1, and biphenyl substructures by characterizing the tetrahydrofuran (THF)-soluble and THF-insoluble fractions obtained after
pyrolysis at 400°C. Reactivity was quite different depending on the model structure: depolymerization: α-O-4 [phenolic (ph), nonphenolic (nonph)], β-O-4 (ph) > β-O-4 (nonph), β-1 (ph, nonph) > biphenyl (ph, nonph); condensation/carbonization: β-1 (ph) > β-O-4 (ph) > α-O-4 (ph) > β-O-4 (nonph), biphenyl (ph, nonph), α-O-4 (nonph), β-1 (nonph). Major degradation pathways were also identified for β-O-4 and β-1 model dimers: β-O-4 types: Cβ-O cleavage to form cinnamyl alcohols and phenols and Cγ-elimination yielding vinyl ethers; β-1 types: Cα-Cβ cleavage yielding benzaldehydes and styrenes and Cγ-elimination yielding stilbenes. Relative reactivities of these pathways were also quite different between phenolic and nonphenolic
forms even in the same types; Cβ-O cleavage (β-O-4) and Cγ-elimination (β-1) were substantially enhanced in phenolic forms. 相似文献

β-Glucosidase (β-1,4-D-glucoside glucohydrolase: EC.3.2.1.21) catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-glucosidic bonds between saccharides
and aryl or alkyl groups. A gene encoding β-glucosidase from Bacillus licheniformis KCTC 1918, an anaerobic spore-forming soil bacterium, was cloned and characterized. The structural gene for the β-glucosidase
consists of 1410 bp encoding 469 amino acid residues, and has a molecular weight of 53.4 kDa as estimated by sodium dodecyl
sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with 12% separating gel. The enzyme activity was determined against pNPG as a substrate. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 6.0 (citrate-phosphate buffer) and 47°C. β-Glucosidase retained
100% of its original activity for 24 h. The activity of the enzyme was stimulated by glycerol and urea and was decreased by
Ca2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+. In particular, Cu2+ had the strongest negative effect on β-glucosidase activity. The purified β-glucosidase was active against pNPG and cellobiose. When the β-glucosidase was tested for cellulose hydrolysis, the supplement of β-glucosidase with cellulose
increased the glucose yield from pine wood powder by 139.8%. 相似文献

Changes in the activity of some adaptive enzymes of the bird cherry–oat aphid R. padi after transfer from primary (bird cherry) to secondary (triticales) host plants were assessed. The following groups of enzymes
were studied: (1) transferases—glutathione S-transferase (GST) and UDP-glucosyltransferase (UDPGT); (2) antioxidant enzymes—superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT); (3) oxidoreductases—polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (PX); and (4) glucoside hydrolases—α-
and β-glucosidase. The activity of the transferases and the antioxidant enzymes increased after transfer to the secondary
host, but the level of activity was closely associated with feeding duration on the secondary host. The strongest induction
was noted for SOD, the activity of which was more than three times greater on the secondary than on the primary host. In contrast,
transfer of the bird cherry–oat aphid was accompanied by a decline in activity of PPO, PX, and β-glucosidase; PPO and PX activity
was 50% less in aphids fed on the secondary host rather than on the primary host. Activity of α-glucosidase increased after
prolonged feeding on the secondary host. The results indicated that the adaptive enzymes of the bird cherry–oat aphid enable
it to feed on distantly related host plants. 相似文献

Bamboo blight in hybrid Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis is caused by the fungus Arthrinium phaeospermum. One component designated as PC with pathogenic activity and a molecular weight of about 27 kDa was obtained from this fungus by ammonium sulphate precipitation, polyethylene glycol concentration, Sephadex G‐100 gel chromatography and Q‐Sepharose Fast Flow anion exchange resin. The toxin PC was shown to cause the same typical symptoms caused by the pathogen itself, although the reaction of the toxin was quicker than the pathogen in all four hybrid bamboo varieties. A threshold toxic dose of 10–20 μg/ml was observed for two resistant varieties, while only 5–10 μg/ml was observed for two susceptible varieties. Moreover, effects of the purified toxic protein on the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, phenylalanine amonnialyase, polyphenol oxidase, chitinase and β‐1,3 glucanase in the different bamboo varieties were analysed using the impregnation and leaf disc methods. The results showed a positive correlation between the resistance of bamboo and the activities of all six enzymes. The activities of all enzymes except β‐1,3 glucanase decreased over the time course of investigation. These results proved the important role played by toxic proteins in the pathogenicity of A. phaeospermum and their potential for selecting resistant varieties or identify the resistance of this bamboo. 相似文献

The radical coupling reaction leading to the β-0′ quinonemethide intermediate of p-coumaryl alcohol was analyzed by semi-empirical molecular orbital calculation with MOPAC2002. By analyzing the radical monomer
in a one-electron oxidation, the spin density of the unpaired electron at the 4-oxygen was less than half of the values at
the C1, C3, C5, and Cβ positions. By analyzing the transition state during the radical coupling reaction, the activation enthalpy was evaluated
as 9.76 kcal/mol, which corresponds to the activation energies for the propagation of common vinyl polymers. From the analysis
of atomic interactions in the transition state, it was found that the activation enthalpy was largely composed of a high coulombic
repulsion between Cβ of the first monomer and the phenolic oxygen of the second monomer. After passing the transition state, the two radical monomers
formed a metastable quinone-methide intermediate. The optimum conformation of the quinonemethide intermediate was formed from
the meta-stable conformation through a second transition state with a small energy barrier.

Increased atmospheric N deposition could suppress plant litter decomposition, due to the P limitation for soil microorganisms
in Japanese forested Andisols with a high P sorption capacity. To explore this possibility, we used a laboratory incubation
experiment to study the influence of N addition on β-d-glucosidase and polyphenol oxidase activities, which are important for cellulose and lignin degradation, respectively, in
an Andisol with larch (Larix kaempferi) leaf litter. The addition of N increased the β-d-glucosidase activity, whereas it decreased the polyphenol oxidase activity in the soil. However, the addition of both N and
P increased the polyphenol oxidase activity in the soil, suggesting the possibility of; (1) an inferior competitive ability
of polyphenol oxidase-producing microorganisms under nutrient-rich conditions and; of (2) their P limitation through competition
in the Andisol. 相似文献

Effects of side chain hydroxyl groups on pyrolytic β-ether cleavage of phenolic model dimers were studied with various deoxygenated dimers under pyrolysis conditions of N2/400°C/1 min. Although phenolic dimer with hydroxyl groups at the C
α
− and C
γ
−positions was much more reactive than the corresponding nonphenolic type, deoxygenation at the C
γ
-position substantially reduced the reactivity up to the level of the nonphenolic type. These results are discussed with the
cleavage mechanism via quinone methide intermediate formation, which is activated through intramolecular hydrogen bonds between
C
α
− and C
γ

Carbohydrate model compounds methyl β-d-glucopyranoside (MGPβ), methyl α-d-glucopyranoside (MGPα), and methyl β-d-mannopyranoside (MMPβ) and the deuterium compounds of MGPβ labeled at the anomeric or C-2 positions (MGPβ-1D, MGPβ-2D) were reacted with active oxygen species (AOS) generated in situ by reactions between O2 and a co-treated phenolic lignin model compound, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol (VAlc), under conditions simulating oxygen
delignification (0.5 mol/l NaOH, 0.36 mmol/l Fe3+, 1.1 MPa O2, 95°C). MGPβ was degraded more than MGPα but less than MMPβ when the pairs MGPβ/MGPα and MGPβ/MMPβ, respectively, were treated, which indicates that the configurational differences at the anomeric and C-2 positions influence
the reactivity of AOS toward these compounds. When the pairs MGPβ/MGPβ-1D and MGPβ/MGPβ-2D were treated, no clear kinetic isotope effects were observed in either case. These results contrasted with those obtained
when another phenolic compound, 2,4,6-trimethylphenol (TMPh), was used as the AOS generator instead of VAlc under exactly
the same conditions. Clear kinetic isotope effects were observed when using TMPh. Because it is not easily accepted that the
anomeric and C-2 hydrogen abstractions are minor reaction modes only for AOS generated in the VAlc system, it is suspected
that the AOS do not show any clear kinetic isotope effect even though the AOS abstract an objective hydrogen. 相似文献

The dependence of the acidolysis reaction of a C6-C3 dimeric nonphenolic β-O-4 type lignin model compound, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) propane-1,3-diol (veratrylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, VG), on the type of acid applied was examined using three different acids [0.2 mol/l HCl, 0.2 mol/l HBr,
and 0.1 mol/l (0.2 N) H2SO4 in 82% aqueous 1,4-dioxane at 85°C]. In the HCl system, the major reaction modes of the corresponding benzyl cation-type
intermediate (BC), which is produced by protonation of the α-hydroxyl group of VG and successive release of the water molecule, are the abstraction of the β-proton and hydride transfer from the β-to the α-position. The liberation of formaldehyde from the γ-hydroxymethyl group of BC is the predominant reaction mode in the H2SO4 system. Apparently, an unknown reaction mode or modes is operative in the early stage of the HBr system that causes rapid
disappearance of VG accompanied by the quantitative formation of 2-methoxyphenol without affording the common counterpart
of a Hibbert’s ketone, 1-hydroxy-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) propan-2-one. The reaction mode in the HBr system changes with the
progress of the reaction and is the same as that in the HCl system after the early stage. 相似文献

Based on the widely used soil pore classification systems, soil pore ratios α, β and γ were derived. α, β, and γ represent
ratios of the fine capillary porosity, coarse capillary porosity, and non-capillary porosity to the effective porosity, respectively.
The parametersψ
m
and σ of the soil water retention model developed by Kosugi were related to these pore ratios, and a simple method was suggested
to estimateψ
m
and σ from measured soil pore ratios. By analyzing the observed retention data sets of forest soils, it was shown that the
soil pore ratios are effectively used to evaluate the soil pore radius distribution. A coordinate system with log(−ψ
m
) on the abscissa and σ on the ordinate, which represents the constant α, β, and γ lines, was developed as a new diagram to
evaluate the soil pore radius distribution in connection with the soil water retention characteristic. Then, the saturated
hydraulic conductivityK
s
of forest soils was correlated with the parametersψ
m
and σ, and with the ratios α, β, and γ using the coordinate system and the triangle diagram. Results showed thatK
s
is higher for the soil with a greater median and with a greater width of the pore radius distribution.K
s
increases as the non-capillary pore ratio γ becomes greater and the coarse capillary pore ratio β becomes smaller. Functional
relationships betweenK
s
and the water retention parameters, and betweenK
s
and the soil pore ratios were derived based on Mualem's model.

The development time, longevity, and fecundity of Dysaphis plantaginea were measured on six apple cultivars (Golden delicious, Red delicious, Renetta canada, Florina querina, Golden lasa, and Golden orange) under controlled conditions, in order to establish the life tables of D. plantaginea on the different cultivars and to evaluate the tolerance of the cultivars against this pest. The intrinsic rates of increase (r
m) were 0.07 and 0.11 day−1 on F. querina and G. orange, respectively. On the other four cultivars, rates ranged between 0.22 and 0.26 day−1, with the maximum value registered on G. lasa. All the biological and demographic parameters evaluated, i.e. survival of larvae (M = 5.8–72.2%), mean generation time (T = 14.94–20.62 days), and net reproduction rate (R
0
= 4.23–47.37), show that G. orange and F. querina are tolerant cultivars while R. delicious, R. canada, G. lasa, and G. delicious are susceptible hosts. 相似文献

The transverse shrinkage variation within trees was examined for five sugi cultivars. The within-tree trends of tangential
shrinkage (α
T) were different by cultivar, whereas radial shrinkage (α
R) increased from pith to bark in most cultivars. The tangential/radial shrinkage ratio (α
T/α
R) decreased from pith to bark in most cultivars, because the radial variation of α
R was larger than that of α
T. The cultivars showed significant differences among cultivars in α
T, α
R, and α
T/α
R, but the difference among cultivars for α
T/α
R was smaller. The relationships between transverse shrinkage and microfi bril angle (MFA), basic density (BD), tree ring parameters,
and modulus of elasticity were examined. The α
T and α
R showed positive relationships with BD, latewood percentage, latewood density, and modulus of elasticity, and negative relationships
with MFA and ring width. The relationships with earlywood density were weak. Sugi exhibited variation in transverse shrinkage
within stem and among cultivars, with the variation affected by MFA, density, and tree ring parameters.

The aim of this study was to develop a facile method for categorizing native celluloses as the algal-bacterial type or the
cotton-ramie type and for estimating the Iα/Iβ (triclinic/monoclinic) ratio of the cellulose samples. We investigated various native celluloses by X-ray diffractometry;
and discriminant analysis was carried out using two equatoriald-spacings: 0.59–0.62 nm (d
1) and 0.52–0.55 nm (d
2). All of the samples were classified into the two groups without error. The function used to discriminate between the two
groups is represented as:Z=1693d1 — 902d
2 — 549, whereZ>0 indicates the algal-bacterial (Iα-rich) type andZ<0 indicates the cotton-ramie (Iβ-dominant) type. Another X-ray diffraction study of hydrothermally treatedCladophora cellulose revealed the relation between thed-spacings (d
1,d
2) and the Iα/Iβ ratio. A calibrating equation by which the Iα/Iβ ratio was estimated from the two parameters,d
1 andd
2, was then prepared. In the case of relatively highly crystalline native celluloses, it was found that the Iα/Iβ ratio is easily determined by applying the two parameters in the equation. 相似文献

The optimum conditions for β-thujaplicin production in a Cupressus lusitanica cell suspension culture were investigated. The conditions required for β-thujaplicin production were clearly different from the conditions for cell growth. The initial phosphate concentration and pH did not affect β-thujaplicin production. A total nitrogen source concentration higher than 3.2 mM suppressed production due to the presence of the ammonium ion. β-Thujaplicin production was observed at 95 mg/l without adding the ammonium ion to the medium. Strict control of major inorganic nutrients was not necessary to produce β-thujaplicin. This finding seems to be favorable for future automated production of β-thujaplicin in commercial cell culture plants. 相似文献

Conditions for cell growth of suspension cultures of Cupressus lusitanica, which has high β-thujaplicin productivity, were studied. The medium that provided the highest growth rate was IS-1 medium (pH 5.5), modified
from Gamborg B5 medium containing 32 mM of total nitrogen. Its NO3-N/NH4-N ratio was 30 : 2. The maximum growth represented a 25-fold increase over the initial biomass on a fresh weight basis after
30 days of culture in this medium. The highest cell growth was obtained with an initial pH of 3.5–5.5, but the pH of the medium
settled to about pH 4.0 from any of the initial pH values in this report. The cells cultured under this condition were able
to produce a high level of β-thujaplicin.

Enzymatic saccharifications of the hydrolysate collected as the water-soluble (WS) portion after hot-compressed water (HCW)
treatment of Japanese beech with xylanase and β-xylosidase were performed to investigate the hydrolytic properties of these enzymes. The WS portions with different molecular
weight distributions and initial concentrations of xylooligosaccharides were prepared as substrates, one of which contained
mainly smaller xylooligosaccharides [degree of polymerization (DP) = 2 or 3], while the other contained larger xylooligosaccharides
(DP ≥ 4). The highest xylose recovery was obtained from both of the WS portions treated with β-xylosidase rather than with xylanase. This suggests that β-xylosidase could have a higher activity than xylanase toward larger xylooligosaccharides (DP ≥ 4) as well as smaller xylooligosaccharides
(DP = 2 or 3) recovered from HCW treatment. As a result, the use of β-xylosidase was found to be effective for saccharifi cation of the WS portion, even with a short reaction time for the HCW
treatment. 相似文献
