The improvement of growth,digestive enzyme activity and disease resistance of white shrimp by the dietary citric acid

A 45-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary citric acid on growth, digestive enzyme and disease resistance of white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Shrimp with initial body weight of 5.57 ± 0.21 g were fed with basal diet supplemented with 0.0 g kg^?1 (control), 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 g kg^?1 citric acid. Results showed that weight gain was increased by 15.9 % and feed conversion ratio was decreased by 0.17 by 2.0 g kg^?1 dietary citric acid compared with control group (P < 0.05). Intestinal protease activity of shrimp fed 2.0 g kg^?1 citric acid was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of control group. No significant difference was found in intestinal amylase activity among treatments (P > 0.05). The activities of serum phenoloxidase, superoxide dismutase and lysozyme in 2.0 and 3.0 g kg^?1 citric acid group were significantly higher, and accumulative mortalities of the two groups on the fourth day after injection of Vibrio alginolyticus were significantly lower than those of control group (P < 0.05). Results above demonstrated that dietary citric acid could improve growth performance, immunity and resistance against V. alginolyticus. The supplementation level of citric acid in diet was suggested to be 2.0–3.0 g kg^?1 for white shrimp.     

莲草直胸跳甲羧酸酯酶基因AhCesB1的克隆、序列分析及表达特征

莲草直胸跳甲Agasicles hygrophila是入侵杂草喜旱莲子草的专食性天敌。为进一步明确莲草直胸跳甲寄主专一性的分子机制,通过分析其转录组数据克隆羧酸酯酶(carboxylesterases,Car Es)基因,采用RT-PCR技术从其体内获得1个羧酸酯酶B簇基因并进行生物信息学分析,同时利用实时定量PCR方法检测其在不同身体部位及不同发育阶段的表达特性,并对饥饿处理、取食靶标植物喜旱莲子草和非靶标植物莙荙后该基因的表达水平进行比较。结果显示,克隆得到1条莲草直胸跳甲羧酸酯酶基因的cDNA全长序列,长度为1 851 bp,开放阅读框长度为1 647 bp,编码548个氨基酸,以该基因推导的氨基酸序列与其它物种的CarEs进行聚类分析,发现此基因为羧酸酯酶B簇家族成员,命名为AhCesB1(GenBank登录号KT032151)。实时定量PCR检测结果显示,AhCesB1基因在莲草直胸跳甲3龄期表达量最高,成虫期和蛹期表达量次之,卵、1龄和2龄期表达量相对较低。AhCesB1基因在头和中肠的表达量较低,在其余身体部分表达量较高。取食莙荙后AhCesB1表达量显著增高,为饥饿处理的13.7倍,而取食喜旱莲子草与饥饿处理并无显著差异。表明莲草直胸跳甲AhCesB1在不同发育阶段和成虫不同身体部位具有不同的表达水平,而非寄主植物莙荙可以诱导该基因的表达,推测羧酸酯酶在莲草直胸跳甲代谢次生物质中发挥着重要作用。     

蔬菜细菌性软腐病防治药剂活体组织筛选技术

为探索快速、高效的蔬菜细菌性软腐病防治药剂的筛选技术,采用多因素分析法对茎段材料、接种方式、菌液浓度等因素进行筛选,建立芹菜茎段筛选技术,并采用所建立的筛选法评价28种枯草芽胞杆菌Bacillus subtilis可湿性粉剂对细菌性软腐病菌的杀菌活性。结果表明,建立的芹菜茎段筛选法可较好地评价细菌性软腐病防治药剂的药效,即芹菜茎段一端在细菌性软腐菌液中浸泡20 min后自然风干,再于待测药剂中浸泡处理1 h,在温度26~30℃、相对湿度70%~85%条件下保湿培养36 h后调查发病指数。采用该方法可快速从23种新型枯草芽胞杆菌可湿性粉剂中筛选出对细菌性软腐病具有较高防效的IVF001、IVF002、IVF004、IVF015、IVF018、IVF021、IVF035、IVF041制剂,防效分别为81.70%、94.77%、83.01%、92.16%、84.31%、96.08%、80.39%和89.55%。芹菜茎段筛选法及室内盆栽法对5种已登记的枯草芽胞杆菌可湿性粉剂的筛选结果显著相关,相关系数为0.878。表明芹菜茎段筛选法可以有效代替盆栽筛选法,并对杀菌剂的药效进行评价,是一种实用性强的蔬菜细菌性软腐病防治药剂筛选方法。     

土壤环境条件对威百亩熏蒸防治黄瓜枯萎病的影响

为探究威百亩在不同土壤环境条件下的消毒效果,采用离体和活体方法研究施药量、覆膜熏蒸时间、土壤相对含水量及土壤温度对威百亩熏蒸防治黄瓜枯萎病的作用效果。结果表明,25℃条件下,威百亩12 mg(a.i.)/kg土壤熏蒸消毒,对尖孢镰刀菌Fusarium oxysporum的抑制率为78.82%,对黄瓜枯萎病的防治效果为87.03%,且对作物安全无药害;威百亩对尖孢镰刀菌的熏蒸抑制作用随着熏蒸时间的增加而增强,土壤熏蒸10 d后对尖孢镰刀菌的抑制率为95.21%;土壤相对含水量为30%和50%时,威百亩对黄瓜枯萎病的防治效果分别为72.32%和82.14%,含水量过高或过低均不利于药效的发挥,而且还会对作物产生药害反应。威百亩的熏蒸效果随着土壤温度的升高而增强,在25、30、35℃时对黄瓜枯萎病的防治效果分别为80.18%、98.20%和100.00%。表明威百亩结合日光消毒温度大于25℃、土壤相对含水量为30%或50%、熏蒸10~15 d可有效控制土壤中尖孢镰刀菌引起的黄瓜枯萎病。

Simultaneous immobilization of lead,cadmium, and arsenic in combined contaminated soil with iron hydroxyl phosphate

Purpose

Combined contamination of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) in soils especially wastewater-irrigated soil causes environmental concern. The aim of this study is to develop a soil amendment for simultaneous immobilization of Pb, Cd, and As in combinative contaminated soil.

Materials and methods

A soil amendment of iron hydroxyl phosphate (FeHP) was prepared and characterized, and its potential application in simultaneous immobilization of Pb, Cd, and As in combined contaminated soil from wastewater-irrigated area was evaluated. The effects of FeHP dosage, reaction time, and soil moisture on Pb, Cd, and As immobilization in the soil were examined.

Results and discussion

The immobilization efficiencies of Pb, Cd, and As generally increased with the increasing of FeHP dosage. With FeHP dosage of 10 %, the immobilization percentages of NaHCO₃-extractable As and DTPA-extractable Pb and Cd reached 69, 59, and 44 %, respectively. The equilibrium time required for immobilization of these contaminants was in the following order: NaHCO₃-extractable As (0.25 days) < DTPA-extractable Cd(3 days) < DTPA-extractable Pb (7 days). However, the immobilization efficiencies of Pb, Cd, and As have not changed much under soil moisture varied from 20 to 100 %. According to the results of the sequential extraction, the percentages of Pb, Cd, and As in residual fractions increased after the application of FeHP amendment, while their percentages in exchangeable fractions decreased, illustrating that FeHP can effectively decrease the mobilities and bioavailabilities of Pb, Cd, and As in the soil. Moreover, the application of FeHP will not have soil acidification and soil structure problem based on the soil pH measurements and soil morphology.

Conclusions

FeHP can immobilize Pb, Cd, and As in the combinative contaminated soil from wastewater irrigation area simultaneously and effectively. Thus, it can be used as a potential soil amendment for the remediation of Pb, Cd, and As-combined contaminated soil.

     

绿僵菌在3种不同培养基上培养时产孢量的影响因素

分析了绿僵菌菌株在3种不同培养基上培养时其产孢量的2个影响因素(初始接种浓度和相对湿度),得出菌株在3种不同培养基上培养时须分别配以适宜的接种浓度和相对湿度,以获取最大产孢量(燕麦培养基:1×107cfu/mL,65%;PPDA培养基:1×106cfu/mL,85%;玉米粉酵母浸膏培养基:1×108cfu/mL,75%)。另外,随继代培养代数增加,菌株在这3种培养基上前五代的产孢量比较稳定,第七代及之后的产孢量明显下降。根据3种培养基不同的功能,在PPDA培养基上培养菌株时要着重注意不同继代培养代数对产孢量的影响,其它2种培养基培养菌株一般不超过五代,产孢量比较稳定。

Successful medical management of lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse in a ferret

Thoracolumbar disc herniation was diagnosed in a two-year-old ferret using a myelogram followed by a computed tomography scan. The ferret was paraplegic with no control over urination and defecation. Conservative treatment that included cage rest and passive range of motion exercises for three weeks followed by extensive physiotherapy and hydrotherapy resulted in full recovery two months after the onset of treatment. Although intervertebral disc disease has been reported previously in four ferrets, this is the first report in which a postmyelogram computed tomography was used to demonstrate the herniated disc, and physiotherapy was used as principal treatment modality.
