华东地区部分猪源大肠杆菌K88黏附素的生物学特性

近年来，从华东地区患腹泻仔猪中分离到一些表达K88菌毛的大肠杆菌，这些菌株只与K88a因子单抗反应，而不与b、c、d因子单抗反应。通过K88常规血清交叉吸收试验、SDS-PAGE、Western印迹，表明这些菌株不仅与K88ac参考菌株C83907制备的c因子血清反应，而且与以分离株SEC586制备且经K88ab、K88ac、K88ad参考菌株吸收后的血清也反应。对分离株SEC586、SEC464的K88主要亚单位结构基因faeG的克隆、测序，发现该基因由846对核苷酸组成，编码菌毛主要亚单位的262个氨基酸及21个氨基酸的信号肽，比国外报道的K88ac FaeG亚单位（263个氨基酸）少了1个氨基酸，比K88ab、K88ad（265个氨基酸）少了3个氨基酸。SEC586、SEC464菌株的FaeG亚单位氨基酸序列的同源性为97．7％，它们与K88ac的同源性为94．7％和96．2％；与K88ab的同源性为90．1％和91．2％；与K88ad的同源性为87．0％和88，6％。结果表明，新分离的K88ac大肠杆菌黏附素主要亚单位已发生了部分变异。     

养殖裸盖鱼(Anoplopoma fimbria)疥疮病病原菌的分离与鉴定

裸盖鱼(Anoplopoma fimbria)是一种名贵的冷水经济鱼类,已在我国北方地区开展小规模的工厂化繁育和养成.目前,我国关于裸盖鱼的病害研究仍是空白.本研究对山东烟台一养殖场自然发生疥疮病的裸盖鱼进行了病原分析,从发病鱼体内分离得到形态一致的优势菌株,命名为AF-1,并对其进行了致病性检测、菌种鉴定及药物敏感性研究.人工感染实验证明,AF-1对裸盖鱼有致病性,呈现症状与自然发病状态一致;结合形态观察、革兰氏染色、生理生化特征、16S rRNA和gyrB基因序列进化树分析,将AF-1鉴定为杀鲑气单胞菌(Aeromonas salmonicida);药物敏感性实验结果显示,AF-1对青霉素、阿莫西林、头孢噻吩等13种抗生素具有耐药性,对氟苯尼考、氟甲喹等16种抗生素敏感.综上所述,本研究首次报道了我国养殖裸盖鱼感染杀鲑气单胞菌病例,为裸盖鱼养殖过程中的疾病防控和疫苗开发提供了参考.

大肠杆菌K88菌毛蛋白faeG亚基基因克隆及表达

利用PCR技术,从致仔猪黄痢的大肠杆菌中扩增不含信号肽序列的K88菌毛蛋白faeG亚基基因片段,将其克隆到表达载体pGEX-6P-1中,构建该基因的原核表达载体pGEX-FaeG,通过测序证明序列正确后,导入大肠杆菌BL21,得到工程菌株PGEX-FaeG。IPTG诱导表达,SDS-PAGE分析结果表明,融合蛋白（约53ku）在大肠杆菌BL21中得到高效表达,表达产物约占菌体蛋白的35％,免疫印记结果表明此融合蛋白与K88单抗反应。     

Evaluation of poultry fat and blends of poultry fat with cold‐pressed flaxseed oil as supplemental dietary lipid sources for juvenile sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria)

The objective of this study was to access the suitability of using poultry fat (PF) or blends of PF with flaxseed oil (FO) to replace 75% of the supplemental anchovy oil (AO) in the diet of juvenile sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), a relatively new marine species to aquaculture. Sablefish were fed one of four diets twice daily to satiation for 15 weeks. The test diets were identical in composition except for the source of supplemental lipid which was either 100% AO (100AO), or had 75% of the supplemental AO replaced with 50% FO:25% PF, 25% FO:50% PF or 75% PF. Sablefish growth parameters, whole body and fillet proximate constituent concentrations, and apparent digestibility coefficients were uninfluenced by diet treatment. There were also no adverse effects of the diet treatments on fish health, as determined from analysis of various haematological and innate immunological parameters. Terminal fillet fatty acid compositions generally reflected the dietary fatty acid compositions. Results indicated that PF or blends of PF and FO may comprise 75% of the supplemental lipid in a grower diet for sablefish and are an economic alternative to AO while still providing humans with a rich dietary source of highly unsaturated fatty acids.     

Occurrence of fimbriae and enterotoxins in Escherichia coli strains isolated from piglets in Poland.

1125 and 1146 E. coli strains isolated from suckling and weaned piglets with diarrhea, respectively, and 724 strains from healthy piglets were tested for the presence of fibriae and production of enterotoxins. The fimbriae were determined by hemagglutination and slide agglutination tests, enterotoxins—by the use of ileal loop test in piglets (LT and STb enterotoxins) and suckling mouse assay (STa enterotoxin). It was found that 72.8 and 53.0% strains, isolated from diseased suckling and weaned piglets, respectively, possessed specific fimbrial hemagglutinins, in most cases with K88 antigen. Additionally, 987P fimbriae were detected in 14.0 and 0.7% strains isolated from piglets with diarrhea. Only 5 strains (0.7%) recovered from healthy piglets had specific fimbriae, usually with undetermined antigenic structure. F1 fimbriae (called common or unspecific) were found in strains isolated both from diseased (15.2 and 16.3% strains, respectively) and healthy piglets (27.1% strains). It was noted that the strains isolated from suckling and weaned piglets with diarrhea in most cases were enterotoxigenic (90.5 and 69.1% strains, respectively) and most frequently produced heat-labile toxin LT alone or with STb. 18.5% of enterotoxigenic strains isolated from healthy piglets produced STa toxin.     

What goes up must come down: Diel vertical migration in the deep‐water sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) revealed by pop‐up satellite archival tags

The sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) is a long‐lived species with wide distribution throughout the North Pacific Ocean. While adult sablefish are considered a deep‐water fish, diet analyses suggest that they undergo vertical migrations that could be related to prey movement and feeding. Pop‐up satellite archival tags (PSATs) were used to observe the fine‐scale depth selection behavior of adult sablefish tagged off the Washington coast during the summer from June to August. Tags were physically retrieved after they surfaced using direction‐finding equipment so that complete datasets over the entire deployment were obtained from 14 tags. PSATs that recorded depth and temperature every 4 min during the deployment confirm that sablefish inhabit depths of 750 m or greater. However, a majority of the tagged fish underwent extensive vertical migrations that averaged 254.4 m overall and occurred at a 24 hr periodicity. Variations were observed among individuals in the amount of the deployment during which vertical migrations occurred, ranging from 12.37% to 63.48% of the time. During the vertical migration, fish ascended towards the surface at night and descended prior to daylight (i.e., diel vertical migration). Sablefish generally inhabited temperatures of 5°C but during the vertical migrations were found at temperatures from 6 to 10°C. Sablefish are opportunistic feeders with a large proportion of their diet being fish, euphausiids and cephalopods. Because these prey items also exhibit diel vertical migrations, it is possible that the vertical migratory behavior displayed by the sablefish was in response to the movements or the location of their prey.     

近年来大肠杆菌K88ac菌毛的变异和生物学特性

2000~2005年，从猪大肠杆菌病 (colibacillosis)中分离到一些表达K88菌毛的大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli )，这些分离株只与K88 a因子单抗反应，而不与K88 b、c和d因子单抗反应。分离的菌株 (13/16)以O149为常见血清型，且全部拥有STb毒素基因，通过K88常规血清交叉吸收试验、SDS-PAGE和Western印迹，表明这些菌株不仅与K88ac参考菌株C83907制备的c因子血清反应，而且与以分离株SEC586制备且经K88ab、K88ac和K88ad参考菌株吸收后的血清也反应，表明这些分离株仍为K88ac大肠杆菌。对新近分离的SEC464、SEC525、SEC586、SEC799和EC910株及80年代我国分离的TM128株的K88主要亚单位结构基因faeG进行克隆、测序，发现新近分离株的faeG基因由846对核苷酸组成，编码菌毛主要亚单位的261个氨基酸及21个氨基酸的信号肽，比国内外报道的K88ac FaeG亚单位 (262个氨基酸)少了一个氨基酸，比K88ab、K88ad (264个氨基酸)少了3个氨基酸。TM128株的FaeG氨基酸序列与K88ac(M29375)的同源性为100.0%，SEC464、SEC525、SEC586、SEC799和SEC910株的FaeG亚单位氨基酸序列的同源性为97.7%~99.6%，它们与K88ac的同源性为94.6%~96.6%；与K88ab的同源性为90.0%~91.6%；与K88ad的同源性为87.0%~88.9%。 结果表明新分离的K88ac大肠杆菌黏附素主要亚单位已发生了部分变异。
