Gas and short‐chain fatty acid production from feeds commonly fed to red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) and incubated with rumen inoculum from red deer and sheep

Efficient red deer supplementary feeding depends on estimations of the nutritive value of offered feeds, frequently estimated with the use of equations derived from domestic ruminants. The aim of this study was to compare the 24‐hour in vitro true dry matter degradability (ivTD₂₄), in vitro gas production (GP) kinetic parameters, GP in 24 hr of incubation (GAS₂₄) and short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA) and microbial biomass (MBS) produced after 24‐hour incubation of feeds in inoculum prepared from sheep and red deer rumen fluid. Eleven feeds, frequently consumed by red deer in Slovenia, which occur either naturally (two fresh grasses, chestnut fruits and common and sessile oak acorns) or are fed as winter supplemental feeds (two grass hays, two grass silages, apple pomace, fresh sugar beetroot), were investigated. The in vitro GP kinetic parameters, GAS₂₄ and ivTD₂₄, did not differ between animal species. Amounts of SCFAs were greater (p < 0.05) when feeds were incubated in sheep inoculum, while molar proportions of acetic and propionic acids did not differ. Molar proportions of butyric acid produced during incubation of high fibre feeds did not differ between animal species, but were higher (p < 0.05) when feeds high in starch or sugar were incubated in red deer inoculum. Greater production of SCFA by sheep rumen microbes suggests better coverage of host animal with energy precursors, while greater production of MBS by red deer rumen microbes suggests better coverage of host animal with protein. Results also suggest that rumens of sheep and red deer are inhabited by different microbial communities, which did not affect the extent of in vitro GP and degradation of feeds used in the present experiment. However, the possibility exists that the divergent nutrient use could be a consequence of different priming by different feeds of the donor animal diets.

暗纹东方鲀冻藏品质劣化的原因解析

通过比较冰晶、内源蛋白酶以及氧化对冻藏暗纹东方鲀(Takifugu obscurus)品质的影响,确定冻藏暗纹东方鲀品质劣化的关键因素。实验通过液氮浸渍快速冻结抑制鱼肉组织中冰晶增长、碘乙酸浸泡前处理抑制鱼肉内源蛋白酶活性、复合抗氧化剂浸泡前处理抑制蛋白/脂质氧化作用的设计,区分冰晶、内源蛋白酶和氧化3种因素对冻藏鱼肉品质的影响;并以硬度、解冻流失率、蒸煮损失率、挥发性盐基氮含量、K值、Ca2+-ATPase活性、肌原纤维小片化指数和肌纤维长度作为鱼肉品质的评价指标。结果显示,冻结过程中控制冰晶增长对暗纹东方鲀冻藏品质的改善作用最大,冻藏24周后,速冻组的硬度比内源蛋白酶抑制组和氧化抑制组分别提高了26.8%和20.5%,解冻流失率分别降低了44.2%和44.8%,且该处理组TVB-N、K值和Ca2+-ATPase活性变化更慢,24周后分别为10.5 mg/100 g、6.8%和1.43 μmol Pi/mg/10 min。综合各项指标发现,冰晶、内源蛋白酶和氧化对冻藏暗纹东方鲀品质劣化均有影响;其中,冰晶作用是导致暗纹东方鲀在冻藏过程中品质下降的最主要影响因素,内源蛋白酶和氧化对冻藏暗纹东方鲀品质的影响次之,且二者对品质影响无显著性差异。     

未观测林业经济及其成因分析

对未观测林业经济活动进行了界定,并将其分为非法的林业经济、未申报的林业经济和未统计的林业经济3类.未观测林业经济产生的原因有林业法律政策的约束性和滞后性;林业的行业特点加大了林业执法与监管的难度和林业经济统计的难度;部分林业行业管理制度的严苛条件直接导致了统计瞒报现象的产生、林产品市场差价.

Responsible Research and Innovation Framework,the Nagoya Protocol and Other European Blue Biotechnology Strategies and Regulations: Gaps Analysis and Recommendations for Increased Knowledge in the Marine Biotechnology Community

As the quest for marine-derived compounds with pharmacological and biotechnological potential upsurges, the importance of following regulations and applying Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) also increases. This article aims at: (1) presenting an overview of regulations and policies at the international and EU level, while demonstrating a variability in their implementation; (2) highlighting the importance of RRI in biodiscovery; and (3) identifying gaps and providing recommendations on how to improve the market acceptability and compliance of novel Blue Biotechnology compounds. This article is the result of the work of the Working Group 4 “Legal aspects, IPR and Ethics” of the COST Action CA18238 Ocean4Biotech, a network of more than 130 Marine Biotechnology scientists and practitioners from 37 countries. Three qualitative surveys (“Understanding of the Responsible Research and Innovation concept”, “Application of the Nagoya Protocol in Your Research”, and “Brief Survey about the experiences regarding the Nagoya Protocol”) indicate awareness and application gaps of RRI, the Nagoya Protocol, and the current status of EU policies relating to Blue Biotechnology. The article categorises the identified gaps into five main categories (awareness, understanding, education, implementation, and enforcement of the Nagoya Protocol) and provides recommendations for mitigating them at the European, national, and organisational level.     

不同茶叶中游离氨基酸的对映异构体

[目的]游离氨基酸是茶叶的主要化学成分之一,与茶叶的滋味品质密切相关.大多数氨基酸具有手性中心,因此存在滋味特性及生理活性均可能截然不同的L型和D型两种对映异构体.由于检测技术的限制,过去的研究多集中在L型氨基酸上,而茶叶中D型氨基酸罕有系统的研究报道.因此,研究茶叶中游离氨基酸对映异构体,对茶叶化学理论体系的深化及滋...

对农田营造早竹林后不同年限土壤有机碳变化规律的研究结果表明:(1)竹林3年生时,各层次土壤有机碳含量都呈现下降的趋势,其中表土层(0～30 cm)下降幅度最大;竹林满园后,由于采取了集约经营措施,竹林土壤有机碳含量迅速回升,至9年生时,各层次土壤有机碳含量都超过了农田相应层次水平,但是12年生时竹林各层次土壤有机碳含量又呈现下降趋势.(2)土壤有机碳密度变化和土壤有机碳含量相似,竹林3年生时各层土壤有机碳密度均呈现下降趋势;6年生时,除了0～30 cm土层继续下降外,其余各层次有机碳密度都增加;至9年生时,有机碳密度都超过相应农田各层土壤有机碳的密度;12年生时,各层土壤有机碳密度都呈现下降趋势.(3)3年生竹林土壤有机碳储量下降了近22%;以后土壤有机碳储量均逐渐增加,9年生竹林,土壤有机碳储量要超过农田土壤有机碳的储量;12年生时竹林有机碳储量下降,但是依然高于农田土壤有机碳的储量.     

Approaches to Configuration Determinations of Flexible Marine Natural Products: Advances and Prospects

Flexible marine natural products (MNPs), such as eribulin and bryostatin, play an important role in the development of modern marine drugs. However, due to the multiple chiral centers and geometrical uncertainty of flexible systems, configuration determinations of flexible MNPs face great challenges, which, in turn, have led to obstacles in druggability research. To resolve this issue, the comprehensive use of multiple methods is necessary. Additionally, configuration assignment methods, such as X-ray single-crystal diffraction (crystalline derivatives, crystallization chaperones, and crystalline sponges), NMR-based methods (JBCA and Mosher’s method), circular dichroism-based methods (ECCD and ICD), quantum computational chemistry-based methods (NMR calculations, ECD calculations, and VCD calculations), and chemical transformation-based methods should be summarized. This paper reviews the basic principles, characteristics, and applicability of the methods mentioned above as well as application examples to broaden the research and applications of these methods and to provide a reference for the configuration determinations of flexible MNPs.
