The orbit is fitted for the newest observations, including 2 075 ground-based observations during the period 1949-2018 and 83 space observations acquired by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1989. The dynamical model used here is consistent with that of our previous work. For the ground-based absolute observations of Nereid, the rootmean-square deviations are 0.201′′in right ascension and 0.189′′in declination. Finally, a comparison with the HORIZONS ephemeris is made and discussed.展开更多

The inhibitory effects of extracellular enzyme activity to common aquat- ic pathogenic bacteria were screened. A probiotic DQHY -7 strain was isolated, and its safety was detected. DQHY -7 strain was preliminarily identified by mor- phological observation, and physiological and biochemical test. Research results showed that DQHY -7 strain had relatively strong production capacities of amylase, cellulase and protease, and could restrict the growth of Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Results of acute toxicity test showed that 1. 0 × 108 CFU/mL DQHY -7 bacterial suspension showed no pathogenicity to M. macropterus. According to the colony growth pattern and physiological-bio- chemical characteristics of DQHY -7, the strain was identified to be Bacillus subtilis. Research results showed that DQHY -7 strain could be used as a new candi- date strain for feeding microecologicalagent.展开更多
