Eicosapentaenoic acid in tissue lipids ofPieris brassicae

Summary Larvae of the cabbage white butterfly,Pieris brassicae, have a dietary requirement for linolenic acid (C183n3) and were found to accumulate two other members of the n-3 family, C203n3 and C205n3 (eicosapentaenoic acid) especially in testicular phospholipids. Arachidonic acid was observed in trace amounts only. During diapause the relative titer of eicosapentaenoic acid increased in testicular phospholipids to about 4.2% of the fatty acids. Eicosapentaenoic acid is a possible precursor of prostaglandins, suggesting that prostaglandins of the 3-series predominate in this insect.     

重组大肠杆菌利用醋酸及乳酸为碳源合成PHB

以廉价的工业副产物醋酸及乳酸为碳源,对产PHB重组大肠杆菌进行培养,考察醋酸及乳酸的添加对重组大肠杆菌生长及PHB产量的影响。将来自Cupriavidusnecator的PHB合成操纵子phaCAB基因簇克隆至pBAD载体,得到产PHB菌株BL21＿pBAD＿phaCAB,以阿拉伯糖为诱导剂,在大肠杆菌中进行重组表达。分别使用LB及M9培养基,对重组菌株BL21＿pBAD＿phaCAB进行培养,研究其生长速度及PHB产量,探索产PHB重组大肠杆菌最适培养基。以添加0.04 g/L乳酸、1.2 g/L乳酸、0.02 g/L醋酸、0.6 g/L醋酸、0.04 g/L乳酸+0.02g/L醋酸、1.2g/L乳酸+0.4g/L醋酸的M9培养基(均含2 g/L葡萄糖)为实验组,以M9培养基(含2g/L葡萄糖)为对照组,考察醋酸及乳酸的添加对重组大肠杆菌生长及PHB产量的影响。分别取第6,12,24和36小时的培养液,分析其葡萄糖、醋酸及乳酸含量的变化。结果表明,低氮型M9培养基更适合产PHB重组大肠杆菌在低糖培养环境中生长。在葡萄糖消耗殆尽后,大肠杆菌能够以醋酸及乳酸为碳源进行代谢,因此在培养基中...     

NTA强化Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系降解橙黄G的效能与机制

针对二价铁/过一硫酸盐(Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS)体系存在近中性pH条件下氧化效能低的问题,采用氨基三乙酸(NTA)强化Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系降解橙黄G(OG),研究NTA/Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系中OG降解的效能和机制,考察NTA,Fe(Ⅱ),PMS等反应物浓度和溶液pH值对OG降解效能的影响.实验结果表明：当pH=6.5时,NTA可显著强化Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系的氧化效能,OG的去除率从11.7%提高到92.5%,NTA的加入提高了溶液中有效活化剂的浓度,促进PMS分解生成活性物质;NTA/Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系中主导的活性物质为Fe(Ⅳ)和SO^-₄·,二者对体系氧化效能的贡献分别为72.0%和28.0%;增加NTA,Fe(Ⅱ)和PMS的浓度有助于OG的降解,但当三者浓度分别超过1.5,1.5,2.0 mmol·L^-1时,出现抑制现象;引入NTA既提高了Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系在近中性pH条件下的氧化能力,又拓宽了该体系的pH应用范围.

西昌人工与自动酸雨观测记录差异规律研究

利用西昌国家基本气象站2021年人工和自动的酸雨观测数据,对TCYII 1型酸雨自动观测系统和人工系统的降水采样偏差及完整性、测量数据的准确性和一致性、设备硬件及软件通讯的故障率进行了对比分析。结果表明：正常情况下,2套系统数据的完整性、准确性、一致性较好。酸雨自动观测系统在采样方式及样品保存方面具备一定优势,能够保证观测数据更接近于自然雨水的数值,更贴近真实情况。自动观测系统面临单轨运行,它的手动操作设置、部分配件需厂家优化改进。上级主管部门对自动系统测量阈值的设定、采样中出现的漏采、空采、多采等特殊情况,仍需进一步明确处理办法。     

外源有机酸协同生物炭对土壤微量元素的影响

为未来改善生物炭和有机酸共存的土壤营养状况提供参考依据,有必要探究生物炭和有机酸共存对土壤中微量元素的影响。以玉米秸秆为原材料制备生物炭,采集不同深度的黄棕壤,选择柠檬酸和苹果酸这2种酸进行试验,除对照外共设置8个不同处理方式,分别是不施加或施加生物炭的表土加柠檬酸处理、不施加或施加生物炭的表土加苹果酸处理、不施加或施加生物炭的底土加柠檬酸处理和不施加或施加生物炭的底土加苹果酸处理。结果表明：（1）与对照组相比,施加2种有机酸增加了土壤中的铁和锰的溶出,且柠檬酸处理的土壤溶液中的铁和锰含量高于苹果酸处理;（2）由于底土和表土存在理化性质的差异,影响了铁和锰的溶出量,底土溶液锰的溶出量高达0.34 mmol/L,而表土溶液铁的溶出量高达0.7 mmol/L;3）2%的生物炭没有完全阻碍两种有机酸对微量元素的溶出。结论 有机酸可以活化土壤中的铁和锰,其活化效果与有机酸种类、浓度、金属、土壤酸碱度有关,且生物炭的施加对阻碍有机酸活化土壤中微量元素的能力有限。     

Pharmacological versus binding analysis of receptor systems: How do they interplay? Myometrial cell receptors for oxytocin as a paradigm

Summary Binding studies in various biological systems frequently indicate the presence of several binding sites for a biologically active ligand. They differ in their affinity for the ligand in question, binding capacity, and Hill coefficient, which suggests differences in the mechanisms of the binding site-ligand interactions. Identification of the true receptors (sites initiating a cellular response) appears to be difficult. Three clusters of binding sites for oxytocin were found on rat myometrial cells. The oxytocin receptor seems to be linked to the medium-affinity site; the cooperation between the high-and medium-affinity sites in eliciting the uterotonic response seems likely, but lacks experimental proof. Dose-response analysis in partially irreversibly inhibited uterus preparations, the method of equipotent doses (Furchgott-Bursztyn method), and structure-activity analysis of oxytocin-like peptides acting as competitive inhibitors of oxytocin, turned out to be suitable for pharmacological analysis of this receptor system.     

Morphological,biochemical and molecular changes during ectomycorrhiza development

Summary An ectomycorrhiza, a specialized root organ, is the result of a complex interaction leading to a finely-tuned symbiosis between a plant and a compatible ectomycorrhizal fungus. Ultrastructural observations combined with cytochemical and biochemical studies reveal that structural and metabolic changes in the symbiont cells lead to the final phenotype of the active ectomycorrhiza. In the present review these changes are interpreted as changes in gene expression and discussed within the context of ectomycorrhiza development. Recent genetic data indicate that the continued vegetative growth of the ectomycorrhizal hyphae and the root tissues, and their ability to switch to symbiotic organ formation, is basically controlled by developmentally critical genes. The activity of these symbiotic genes during the differentiation of ectomycorrhizas is associated with extensive changes in the concentration of particular polypeptides and protein biosynthesis. The present state of knowledge about the developmental biology of ectomycorrhizas allows only speculation about the events during their development.Puisant mes forces aux sources des galaxies En buvant la sève des arbres M.

Maternal vitamin A restriction alters biochemical development of the brain in rats

Summary The biochemical development of the fetal brain in relation to maternal vitamin A restriction was studied in rats. The vitamin A status of pregnant rats was varied by supplying low, medium and adequate amounts (6, 40, and 100 g retinol/day/kg body weight, respectively) of vitamin A during pregnancy and suckling. The maternal vitamin A restriction caused an altered brain development in terms of tissue weight, DNA, RNA and protein levels, and biosynthesis of DNA and protein from [³H]-thymidine and [³H]-leucine, respectively. A dose-dependent effect of maternal vitamin A restriction on the metabolism of DNA, RNA and protein was noticed in the developing fetal brain of rats.
