Effects of C:N ratio and substrate integration on periphyton biomass, microbial dynamics and growth of Penaeus monodon juveniles

An outdoor growth trial was conducted for 75 days to investigate the effect of C:N ratio and bamboo substrate (S) in brackish water shrimp culture. Penaeus monodon juveniles (0.35 ± 0.03 g) were stocked in experimental tanks with and without bamboo substrate. C:N ratio of 10 and 20 was manipulated with shrimp feed containing 32 % crude protein and rice flour as carbohydrate source. Addition of substrate and higher C:N ratio (CN20+S) significantly reduced (p < 0.01) inorganic nitrogen NH₃–N by 48.2 %, NO₃–N by 41.6 %, NO₂–N by 42.7 % compared with CN10. Substrate addition significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the turbidity by 22.4 % (CN10+S against CN10) and 20.7 % (CN20+S against CN20). Periphyton biomass and total heterotrophic bacterial load were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in CN20+S in comparison with CN10+S treatment. The autotrophic index increased from 123.4 ± 0.62 to 158.9 ± 3.8 for CN10+S and, 121.8 ± 1.6 to 228 ± 9.11 for CN20+S system. Provision of substrate and carbohydrate addition resulted in the highest body weight, 4.87 ± 0.12 g in CN20+S against 3.66 ± 0.07 g in CN20 and 2.90 ± 0.12 g in CN10 through provision of natural food in the form of periphytic algae and heterotrophic bacterial community. Treatment with substrates showed a higher survival rate by 7 % in comparison with without substrate treatments as it acted as shelter to shrimp during molting and there by reduced cannibalism. Thus, our results demonstrated that high C:N ratio and substrate addition improved growth, reduced FCR and better water quality conditions.     

Enteroendocrine profile of α-transducin immunoreactive cells in the gastrointestinal tract of the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

In vertebrates, chemosensitivity of nutrients occurs through the activation of taste receptors coupled with G-protein subunits, including α-transducin (G_αtran) and α-gustducin (G_αgust). This study was aimed at characterising the cells expressing G_αtran immunoreactivity throughout the mucosa of the sea bass gastrointestinal tract. G_αtran immunoreactive cells were mainly found in the stomach, and a lower number of immunopositive cells were detected in the intestine. Some G_αtran immunoreactive cells in the stomach contained G_αgust immunoreactivity. Gastric G_αtran immunoreactive cells co-expressed ghrelin, obestatin and 5-hydroxytryptamine immunoreactivity. In contrast, G_αtran immunopositive cells did not contain somatostatin, gastrin/cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-1, substance P or calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactivity in any investigated segments of the sea bass gastrointestinal tract. Specificity of G_αtran and G_αgust antisera was determined by Western blot analysis, which identified two bands at the theoretical molecular weight of ~45 and ~40 kDa, respectively, in sea bass gut tissue as well as in positive tissue, and by immunoblocking with the respective peptide, which prevented immunostaining. The results of the present study provide a molecular and morphological basis for a role of taste-related molecules in chemosensing in the sea bass gastrointestinal tract.     

中麦175馒头和面条品质稳定性分析

为给优质小麦育种和生产提供参考依据,以优质小麦新品种中麦175于2010-2011年度在河北和北京14个地点的样品为材料,分析了磨粉品质、面粉和面片颜色、面团流变学和淀粉糊化特性、馒头和面条加工品质。结果表明,中麦175为馒头和面条兼用型优质品种,特点是软质、中偏弱的面筋强度、面粉颜色白,多数品质性状较稳定,籽粒硬度、PPO活性、面片a*值、稳定时间、拉伸面积、延展性和最大抗延阻力的变异系数较大,馒头加工品质地点间变异大于面条。磨粉品质和面团流变学参数对馒头加工品质有显著影响,籽粒硬度和出粉率对馒头表面颜色有显著负向影响,相关系数分别为-0.82(P<0.01)和-0.58(P<0.05);面粉L*值高,馒头加工品质好,二者相关系数为0.72(P<0.01);吸水率与馒头总分呈显著负相关(r=-0.84,P<0.01),稳定时间、拉伸面积、延展性和最大抗延阻力与馒头总分呈显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.85(P<0.01)、0.77(P<0.01)、0.62(P<0.05)和0.70(P<0.01)。降低PPO活性和吸水率,提高蛋白质含量、出粉率和黄色素含量可以改善面粉和面片颜色的亮白度,增加部分黄度,形成消费者可接受的奶白色。淀粉糊化特性对馒头和面条加工品质无显著影响。上述信息对改良小麦品质的稳定性有重要意义。     

Leucettamols, Bifunctionalized Marine Sphingoids, Act as Modulators of TRPA1 and TRPM8 Channels

Leucettamols, bifunctionalized sphingoid-like compounds obtained from a marine sponge Leucetta sp., act as non-electrophilic activators of the TRPA1 channel and potent inhibitors of the icilin-mediated activation of the TRPM8 channel, while they are inactive on CB₁, CB₂ and TRPV1 receptors. Leucettamols represent the first compounds of marine origin to target TRPA1 and the first class of natural products to inhibit TRPM8 channels. The preparation of a small series of semi-synthetic derivatives revealed interesting details on the structure-activity relationships within this new chemotype of simple acyclic TRP modulators.     

竹叶叶绿素荧光季节变化的模型设计

在寻找可再生能源和生物基材料方面,竹子已经被作为一种高产的生物质产品,可以用来作为土壤污染的修复性植物。由于这个原因,一个产量指示的增长模型需要一个健康的指标参数来检测植物的性能。因此,本研究对位于爱尔兰都伯林的Ballyboughalo公司的毛竹蒿草(Phyllostachys humilis)叶子的叶绿素荧光进行了测量。本研究测量结果涵盖了这种竹类每个节点的叶子,并且建立在了随季节性变化的基础上。最常使用的叶绿素荧光参数是Fv/Fm值,又称TRO/ABS (即被困的光子与吸收的光子数之比)。随季节的推移以及这个参数较大的变化,本研究将春天与一年中其它的季节进行对比观察测量。在过去的一年,这种植物的上部叶片比下部叶片表现更好。本研究的发现被整合在一个数学模型中,其目的是为预测和解释在其它立地条件下的植物的性能。

1955-2010年淮北平原冬季农业气候变化基本特征与影响初探

为了给淮北平原冬季农业生产提供科学依据,利用1955-2010年淮北平原代表站宿州市冬季（12月-次年2月）逐日气候监测资料,采用数理统计方法,研究揭示了冬季农业气候基本要素和相关农业气候指标的演变特征及其对农业的影响。结果表明：（1）55年间,淮北平原冬季气温明显升高,≥0℃的积温明显增多,1986年为冬季气温升高的跃变点,但冬季日照时数减少,年际间冬季降水量波动增大,气象干旱是冬季小麦生产中的主要气象灾害;（2）冬季增暖后,致使冬小麦处于缓慢生长状态,但是冬小麦完成春化阶段的最适宜和适宜的低温天数呈“一少一多”变化态势,以及暖冬促进小麦生育进程相应提前的事实增加了小麦顺利完成春化阶段和后期遭受春霜冻害的风险;小麦育种和引种宜选择春化阶段温度指标范围较宽的品种;（3）虽然冬暖对设施农业生产有利,但是不利于设施农业生产的弱光照天数在增加;同时,现有结构的设施农业生产,在冬季增暖背景下仍然存在较大的低温冻害风险,生产中应注意防范强低温,并科学设计温棚结构来应对日照时数不足。安徽淮北平原冬季气候增暖趋势明显,冬季光、热、水等农业气候基本要素和积温、极端低温、弱光照等农业气候指标呈现诸多变化,对冬季农业生产的影响有利有弊。
