A new primer for 16S rDNA analysis of microbial communities associated with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Porphyra yezoensis</Emphasis>

To construct high-quality 16S rDNA clone libraries for microbial communities associated with Porphyra yezoensis and to minimize the detection of rDNA from leafy gametophytes of P. yezoensis, we designed a new 16S rDNA universal primer (75F). Of the clones prepared using 75F, which was designed to distinguish between bacteria and P. yezoensis, 95% were classified into four groups, namely, β-proteobacteria, γ-proteobacteria, Lentisphaerae, and Flavobacteria. PCR-based analysis of the 16S rDNA primer constructed in this study can be used to implement 16S rDNA-based methodologies for the investigation of microbial community composition and diversity related to the Porphyra group.     

在不使用抗生素的肉鸡中发现了抗生素耐药性菌株

禁止在家禽饲料中添加抗生素对于减少对人类健康有潜在威胁的耐药性细菌几乎没有作用。来自美国的一个科研小组通过研究得出了以上惊人的结论。     

饲料加工对家禽生产性能的影响

菊粉(inulin)被认为是饲用抗生素潜在的替代物.在实际应用中不存在任何技术性问题.精细粉碎的全脂大豆和菊粉混合物被证明是幼龄肉火鸡开食阶段一种非常有前途的"提高质量"工具.     

掌握防治黑头病的新方法

由鞭毛组织滴虫(histomonas meleagridis)引起的组织滴虫病(或黑头病)是一种老病新发的禽病,此病除侵害盲肠和肝脏之外,还会侵害其他组织.此病的有效防治药物被禁用促使人们对此进行新的研究,并且已找到了可防止家禽爆发此病的新方法.
