Pigment distribution in cyanobacteria: An in vivo microspectroscopic investigation

Summary In vivo microspectroscopy represents an effective and reliable technique to study pigment composition and distribution. In contrast to traditional extractive techniques, it preserves the integrity of biological specimens, without modifying the nature of the pigments. The spectroscopic apparatus we used is very simple and consists of a common microscope equipped with a monochromator, a photomultiplier, and two pinhole diaphragms. Absorption spectra obtained by means of this apparatus on different species of cyanobacteria are presented.     

all 1691基因表达及铁元素对鱼腥藻生长的影响

为实现FurA的表达,探究铁元素对藻生长的影响,首先运用Primer5.0设计引物,克隆出鱼腥藻PCC7120染色体上all1691(furA)基因片段;构建含组氨酸融合表达标签和T7启动子标签的表达载体.IPTG诱导FurA蛋白表达.然后设计不同Fe3+浓度梯度培养基,利用SDS-PAGE检测高、中、低Fe3+浓度培养液的藻细胞总蛋白,考马斯亮蓝g-250法测定蛋白含量,并用Trizol法提取不同Fe3+浓度培养的藻细胞总RNA.结果表明,获得纯化的all 1691克隆片段,大小为456bp,pET-1691重组蛋白在1mmol/L的IPTG诱导下,于37℃下摇床培养15h得到成功表达;低浓度Fe3+促进藻生长,高浓度Fe3+抑制藻生长;Fe3+浓度为2.0mg/L时rRNA位置与亮度清晰可见,而缺铁培养的藻生长几乎停滞,转录和翻译水平都很低.     

鱼腥藻PCC 7120染色体上relBE同源基因的克隆及表达

为研究鱼腥藻PCC7120染色体上与relBE同源的基因asl4561和asl4562表达产物的毒素-抗毒素作用,从鱼腥藻细胞中提取总基因组DNA,设计特异引物PCR扩增目的基因asl4561和asl4562,与T载体连接后经XhoI和EcoR I双酶切并与表达载体pET28a（＋）连接,由IPTG诱导表达,并在IPTG浓度和诱导时间上对asl4561基因的表达条件进行了优化.琼脂糖凝胶电泳显示扩增出了264bp的asl4561基因和213bp的asl4562基因,SDS-PAGE检测表明成功表达出15.65kD和13.55kD的两蛋白,当诱导温度28℃、IPTG浓度0.4 mmol/L、诱导时间6h时,asl4561基因表达蛋白在细菌裂解液上清中表达量最大.     

Nitrogen-fixing inhibition by KCl in a blue-green algaAnabaena cylindrica

Growing in the medium containing 0.10 mol/L KCl for three days, the nitrogen-fixing activity ofAnabaena cylindrica decreased by 95%. Extent of the inhibition was enchanced with increased KCl concentrations. The biggest decrease of nitrogen-fixing activity was between 0.02–0.05 mol/L KCl. The same decline on growth was between 0.05–0.10 mol/L KCl. The longer treating-time was, the lower nitrogen-fixing activity was. A short time of KCl-treatment (for 4 h) resulted in 66.4% decrease of the activity. Under effecting of KCl for three days, the frequency of heterocyst differentiation decreased from 7.2% to 2.1%.

Characterization of Anabaena cylindrica Solution System Using Synchronous-Scan Fluorescence Spectroscopy

The characterization of the algaeAnabaena cylindrica solution with Fe (III) was investigated using fluorescence emission and synchronous-scan spectroscopy. The ranges of concentrations of algae and Fe (III) in aqueous solutions were 5.0×10⁸ 2.5×10⁸ cell/L and 1060 μmol/L. respectively. The effective characterization method used was synchronous-scan fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS). The wavelength difference (Δλ) of 90 nm, was maintained between excitation wavelength (λen) and emission wavelength (λen). The peak was observed at about (λex) (λem) 326 nm for synchronous scan fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence quenching in system of algae Fe(III)-HA was studied using synchronous-scan spectroscopy for the first time, Fe(III) was clearly the effective quencher. The relationship betweenI I (quenching efficiency) andc (concentration of Fe (III) added) was, a linear correlation for the algae solution with Fe(III). Also, Aldrich humie acid (HA) was found to be an effective quencher.
