中国南海红树内生真菌No.1403次级代谢物的研究

中国南海红树的内生真菌Ｎｏ．１４０３是由香港城市大学Ｖｒｉｊｍｏｅｄ教授等分离出来的。其发酵液粗提物有明显的抗菌活性,对酵母菌和霉菌均有抑制作用。采用硅胶柱层析、核磁共振、质谱,红外光谱和Ｘ光结晶衍射等方法对该菌静置培养的发酵液化学成分进行研究,发现真菌Ｎｏ．１４０３能产生灰黄霉素Ａ和多种醌类抗生素Ｂ,Ｃ,Ｄ及其它化合物,其中Ｃ未见文献报道,Ａ的产量很高,约为２０ｍｇ／Ｌ,本研究表明Ｎｏ．１４０３     

Oxidative damages to DNA by indoor PM10s: Their relationships with trace element compositions

Plasmid DNA assay and ICP-MS analysis were conducted in order to investigate the bioreactivity of inhalable particles (PM10) and the relationship between bioreactivity and trace element compositions of PM10 in Beijing air. A total of four PM10 samples were carefully selected to represent the indoor and corresponding outdoor environments: one from urban smoker's home, two from non-smoker's homes, and the other from the outdoor. In general, the oxidative damage by indoor PM10 was slightly higher than that of outdoor. Among the four sets of samples, the PM10 from the smoker's home had a lowest TD50 (toxic dose of PM10 causing 50% DNA to be damaged), being 100 μg·mL-1, suggesting the highest bioreactivity. The heavy metals are believed to be the main reason for oxidative damage to plasmid DNA. The ICP-MS analysis combined with the DNA assay showed that the water-soluble zinc levels had better relationship with TD50 values than other elements, implying that water-soluble zinc might play an important role in the damage of DNA. It is concluded that the PM10 in smoker's home had the highest level of water-soluble zinc as well as the lowest TD50 (highest bioreactivity). Iron is considered to be one of the most bioreactive elements, but it will cause little damage to plasmid DNA, probably because iron is mainly in water-insoluble state in Beijing PM10.
