毛竹入侵对落叶阔叶林土壤理化性质和胞外酶活性的影响

【目的】研究毛竹（Phyllostachys edulis）入侵亚热带北缘落叶阔叶林对土壤理化性质和土壤胞外酶活性的影响,为探究毛竹入侵条件下森林生态系统养分循环过程与固碳潜力及森林的毛竹入侵治理提供科学依据。【方法】在毛竹入侵样带上,选择落叶阔叶林（麻栎林Quercus acutissima）、竹阔混交林（混交林）和毛竹林3种林分为研究对象,采集其林下地表0~10 cm土壤,进行土壤理化性质和土壤酶活性的测定,包括土壤pH、含水率和有机碳、全氮、NH⁺₄-N、NO^-₃-N、全磷、有效磷含量,以及β-葡糖苷酶（BG）、β-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶（NAG）、亮氨酸氨基肽酶（LAP）、酸性磷酸酶（AcP）、酚氧化物酶（POX）、过氧化物酶（PER）活性和酶计量(V_C/N、V_N/P、V_C/P),比较不同林分的土壤指标。【结果】①随着毛竹入侵,毛竹林土壤pH值和含水率显著增大,且与混交林、麻栎林差异显著（P<0.05）;其土壤有机碳、NO^-₃-N和全氮含量显著下降（P<0.05）,NH⁺₄-N、有效磷和全磷含量与混交林、麻栎林差异不显著。②土壤碳、氮和磷循环相关的水解酶（BG、NAG+LAP、AcP）活性均随毛竹入侵呈下降趋势,氧化酶（POX、PER）活性变化趋势与之相反;酶计量分析表明,毛竹林土壤的V_N/P显著低于混交林和麻栎林（P＜0.05）,而V_C/N、V_C/P在不同林分间差异不显著。③酶活性的矢量分析表明,毛竹林土壤微生物的磷限制程度高于混交林和麻栎林。④土壤水解酶活性与土壤有机碳、NO^-₃-N、全氮、有效磷含量或pH有显著相关关系,氧化酶活性与土壤性质相关性总体不显著。【结论】毛竹林取代落叶阔叶林（麻栎林）后,土壤有机碳和养分含量及相关水解酶活性降低,不利于原有落叶阔叶林土壤碳库与养分库的保存。

胞外多聚物在污泥颗粒化过程中的作用研究

本文研究了胞外多聚物(ECP)在污泥颗粒化过程中的作用。试验采用小试UASB反应器,以人工葡萄糖配水作为进料。测定结果表明,在颗粒污泥培养过程中,随着颗粒污泥的形成、生长和成熟,污泥ECP含量逐渐下降,从开始的6.36减小到30mg/gVSS。当反应器酸化、污泥性能变差或运行不稳定时,ECP含量则表现为急剧上升,达70mg/gVSS。这些结果说明污泥颗粒化过程中ECP所起的作用不大。对有关ECP的影响及作用机理,以及污泥颗粒化机制,文章进行了分析讨论。     

创伤弧菌FJ03-X2胞外产物对欧洲鳗鲡的致病性和免疫原性分析

以70%饱和硫酸铵盐析法制备鳗源创伤弧菌生物1型高致病菌株FJ03-X2的胞外产物(ECPs),攻毒试验表明,该ECPs对鳗鲡无致病力;SDS-PAGE分析表明,该ECPs由约36 ku为主的系列蛋白条带组成。制备ECPs的免疫刺激复合物(ISCOMs),以20μg/尾的剂量腹腔注射免疫规格为15~20 g/尾的欧洲鳗鲡,ELISA分析表明,21 d和28 d时的血清抗体效价约为1∶1 280,免疫印记显示,ECPs中分子量为36 ku以上的蛋白成份可被免疫欧洲鳗鲡血清所识别,是构成ECPs的主要免疫原;免疫保护试验表明,免疫欧洲鳗鲡显示出较高的免疫保护力。试验结果也显示出,单纯以ECPs等剂量腹腔注射免疫欧洲鳗鲡,不能激发欧洲鳗鲡产生较高滴度的血清抗体,免疫欧洲鳗鲡也未能产生有效的保护性免疫应答。     

Proteomic profiling of plasma-derived small extracellular vesicles: a novel tool for understanding the systemic effects of tick burden in cattle

Cattle ticks pose a significant threat to the health and profitability of cattle herds globally. The investigation of factors leading to natural tick resistance in cattle is directed toward targeted breeding strategies that may combat cattle tick infestation on the genetic level. Exosomes (EXs), small extracellular vesicles (EVs) of 50 to 150 nm diameter, are released from all cell types into biofluids such as blood plasma and milk, have been successfully used in diagnostic and prognostic studies in humans, and can provide essential information regarding the overall health state of animals. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a highly sensitive proteomics application that can be used to identify proteins in a complex mixture and is particularly useful for biomarker development. In this proof of principle study, EXs were isolated from the blood plasma of cattle (Bos taurus) with high (HTR) and low tick resistance (LTR) (n = 3/group). Cattle were classified as HTR or LTR using a tick scoring system, and EXs isolated from the cattle blood plasma using an established protocol. EXs were subjected to MS analysis in data-dependent acquisition mode and protein search performed using Protein Pilot against the B. taurus proteome. A total of 490 unique proteins were identified across all samples. Of these, proteins present in all replicates from each group were selected for further analysis (HTR = 121; LTR = 130). Gene ontology analysis was performed using PANTHER GO online software tool. Proteins unique to HTR and LTR cattle were divided by protein class, of which 50% were associated with immunity/defense in the HTR group, whereas this protein class was not detected in EXs from LTR cattle. Similarly, unique proteins in HTR cattle were associated with B-cell activation, immunoglobins, immune response, and cellular iron ion homeostasis. In LTR cattle, unique exosomal proteins were associated with actin filament binding, purine nucleotide binding, plasma membrane protein complex, and carbohydrate derivative binding. This is the first study to demonstrate that MS analysis of EXs derived from the blood plasma of HTR and LTR cattle can be successfully applied to profile the systemic effects of tick burden.     

Recording cerebellar neuron activities in swimming goldfish

ABSTRACT:   Neuronal activities were investigated in the cerebellum of immobilized and swimming goldfish Carassius auratus . Extracellularly recorded neural activities of the cerebellum in immobilized goldfish were characterized and classified into five types. Based on the waveforms and recording depths, these five neural activity types were estimated to originate from three identified classes of cerebellar neurons: Purkinje cells, eurydendroid cells, and granule cells. Chronic recording of cerebellar neuron activities in unrestrained goldfish was performed for more than 100 h. During the chronic recordings, a submersible amplifier attached to the goldfish head, and a multielectrode array developed for the present study were used. Neuronal activities in the cerebellum of free-swimming fish could also be classified into five types as in the immobilized condition. Firing patterns of two neurons identified as Purkinje cells and eurydendroid cells were analyzed during turning movements of the goldfish. The firing patterns of these neurons changed in relation to turning movements. Although some improvements are required, the chronic recording method developed in the present study can be applied to further investigations concerning the direct relationship between brain neural activities and certain behavior.     

Extracellular Polymeric Substances Produced by the Thermophilic Cyanobacterium Gloeocapsa gelatinosa: Characterization and Assessment of Their Antioxidant and Metal-Chelating Activities

Cyanobacteria, particularly thermophilic strains, represent an important potential source of EPSs, harboring structural complexity that predicts diverse and specific bioactive potential. The thermophilic cyanobacteria Gloeocapsa gelatinosa, isolated from a natural hot source in Ain Echfa (Tunisia), was cultivated in a cylindrical reactor, and the production of biomass and EPSs was investigated. Results revealed that the strain is amongst the most efficient EPSs producers (0.89 g L⁻¹) and that EPSs production was not correlated with the growth phase. EPSs were sulfated heteropolysaccharides containing carbohydrates (70%) based on nine different monosaccharides, mainly mannose (22%), and with the presence of two uronic acids. EPSs were formed by two polymers moieties with a molecular weight of 598.3 ± 7.2 and 67.2 ± 4.4 kDa. They are thermostable in temperatures exceeding 100 °C and have an anionic nature (zeta potential of −40 ± 2 mV). Atomic force microscopy showed that EPSs formed multimodal lumps with 88 nm maximum height. EPSs presented high water holding capacity (70.29 ± 2.36%) and solubility index (97.43 ± 1.24%), and a strong bivalent metal sorption capacity especially for Cu²⁺ (91.20 ± 1.25%) and Fe²⁺ (75.51 ± 0.71%). The antioxidant activity of G. gelatinosa EPSs was investigated using four methods: the β-carotene-bleaching activity, DPPH assays, iron-reducing activity, and metal-chelating activity. EPS has shown high potential as free radicals’ scavenger, with an IC₅₀ on DPPH (0.2 g L⁻¹) three-fold lower than ascorbic acid (0.6 g L ⁻¹) and as a metal chelating activity (IC₅₀ = 0.4 g L⁻¹) significantly lower than EDTA. The obtained results allow further exploration of the thermophilic G. gelatinosa for several biotechnological and industrial applications.
