The composition of forest litter and understorey layer, andfungal biomass (in terms of ergosterol) were measured in eightsubplots over a winterspring period (January to April).The sampling site was positioned in a range of woodland habitats(variously dominated by beech, Fagus sylvatica; birch, Betulapendula x pubescens, and oak Quercus petraea) and a clear areacovered with grass (dominated by Holcus lanatus). The resultswere analysed together with data on bacteria and microinvertebratesavailable from parallel research. Levels of ergosterol in individualsubplots ranged between 50 and 160 µg g1 DW. Fungalbiomass decreased in March, and then increased significantlyin April. Stepwise regression models for ergosterol indicatedpositive relationships with moisture content (February), bacteria(all but February and March), flagellates (February) and plant-feedingnematodes and flies (January, overall). The relationships withroots, seeds, the collective variable other microinvertebrates(all March), amoebae (February) and fragments (March, overall)were negative, while the relationship between fungi- and microbial-feedingnematodes changed sign between February () and March(+). Results of analysis of covariance for fungal ergosterolwere significant only for January and the combined dataset.In January, fungi were shown to be significantly related toamoebae, bacteria and a collembolan Folsomia candida, whilethe only significant predictor returned by the overall modelwas bacteria. Correlation analysis confirmed some effects alreadynoted, and revealed a number of further interactions. The resultshighlighted the complexity of factors influencing temporal dynamicsand spatial variability of fungal biomass in forest litter.Most of the registered interactions appeared to be transient,and this should be taken into account while interpreting environmentalobservations. Interpretation of the specific relationships isgiven and implications for further research and overall ecosystemfunctioning are discussed. 相似文献

A soybean lecithin‐based extender supplemented with hyaluronic acid (HA) was assayed for effectiveness to improve the quality of frozen–thawed ram semen. HA has not been tested yet in an extender containing soybean lecithin for freezing ram semen. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyse the effects of soybean lecithin at 1% or 1.5% along with HA at 0, 0.5 and 1 mg ml‐1 in a Tris‐based extender on the motion characteristics, membrane integrity (HOST), viability, GSH peroxidase (GSH‐PX) activity, lipid peroxidation and acrosomal status after freezing–thawing. Semen was collected from four Mehraban rams during the breeding season and frozen in the six lecithin×HA extenders. The extender containing 1.5% lecithin supplemented with no HA yielded higher total motility (52.5%±1.6), viability (55.8%±1.6) and membrane integrity (44.5%±1.7), but the effects of the lecithin concentration did not reach signification. Linearity‐related parameters, ALH, BCF, lipid peroxidation, GSH‐PX activity, morphology and acrosomal status were not affected by the extender composition. In general, adding HA significantly decreased sperm velocity (1 mg ml‐1 HA), total motility (only with 1.5% lecithin), viability (1 mg ml‐1 HA for 1% lecithin; both concentrations for 1.5% lecithin) and membrane integrity. In conclusion, adding HA to the freezing extender supplemented with soybean lecithin failed to improve quality‐related variables in ram semen. Increasing the lecithin content could have a positive effect, but further studies are needed. 相似文献

Recently, isolation and in vitro culture of putative spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in the domestic cat have been conducted. However, the cellular niche conditions that facilitate the establishment and long‐term maintenance of feline SSCs (FSSCs) have not been described. Therefore, we investigated the type of feeder cells used to stimulate colony formation and growth of FSSCs among the various factors in the FSSC niche. Spermatogonial stem cells isolated from feline testes were cultured on mitotically inactivated testicular stromal cells (TSCs) derived from cats, dogs and mice, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). The formation and growth of colonies derived from SSCs cultured on each type of feeder cell were identified at passage 0, and the morphology, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and expression of SSC‐specific genes in surviving colonies were investigated at passage 4. Among these diverse feeder cells, TSCs from cat showed the greatest colony formation, growth and maintenance of FSSCs, and SSC colonies cultured by passage 4 showed a typical dome‐shaped morphology, AP activity and expression of SSC‐specific genes (NANOG, OCT4, SOX2 and CD9). Accordingly, these results demonstrate that feline TSCs could be used as feeder cells to support the establishment and maintenance of SSCs from domestic cats. 相似文献

The coalescence of a neutron star and a black hole in a binary system is believed to form a torus around a Kerr black hole. A similarly shaped magnetosphere then results from the remnant magnetic field of the neutron star. In the strong-field case, it contains a cavity for plasma waves located between the barrier of the gravitational potential and the surrounding torus. This cavity may be unstable to superradiance of electromagnetic waves. Superradiant amplification of such waves, initially excited by turbulence in the torus, should inflate into a bubble in a time as short as approximately 0.75 (1 percent/&cjs3539;epsilon&cjs3539;2)(M/7M middle dot in circle) seconds approximately 0.15 to 1.5 seconds, assuming an efficiency &cjs3539;epsilon&cjs3539;2 = 0.5 to 5 percent and a mass M = 7M middle dot in circle. These bubbles may burst and repeat, of possible relevance to intermittency in cosmological gamma-ray bursts. The model predicts gamma-ray bursts to be anticorrelated with their gravitational wave emissions. 相似文献

The current investigations were undertaken to study the mechanism of the adverse effect of phytoestrogens on the function of bovine granulosa (follicles >1< cm in diameter) and luteal cells from day 1–5, 6–10, 11–15, 16–19 of the oestrous cycle. The cells were incubated with genistein, daidzein or coumestrol (each at the dose of 1 × 10?6 m ). The viability and secretion of estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4) and oxytocin (OT) were measured after 72 h of incubation. Moreover, the expression of mRNA for neurophysin‐I/OT (NP‐I/OT; precursor of OT) and peptidyl‐glycine‐α‐amidating monooxygenase (PGA, an enzyme responsible for post‐translational OT synthesis) was determined after 8 h of treatment. None of the phytoestrogens used affected the viability of cells except for coumestrol. The increased secretion of E2 and P4 was only obtained by coumestrol (p < 0.05) from granulosa cells from follicles <1 cm in diameter and decreased from luteal cells on days 11–15 of the oestrous cycle, respectively. All three phytoestrogens stimulated (p < 0.05) OT secretion from granulosa and luteal cells in all stages of the oestrous cycle and the expression of NP‐I/OT mRNA in the both types of cells. The expression of mRNA for PGA was stimulated (p < 0.05) by daidzein and coumestrol in granulosa cells, and by genistein and coumestrol in luteal cells. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that these phytoestrogens can impair the ovary function in cattle by adversely affecting the synthesis of OT in follicles and in corpus luteum. However, their influence on the ovarian steroids secretion was less evident. 相似文献
