Undergone four major deposition-tectonic cycles, the Ordovician carbonate formed a stable structural framework with huge uplifts, in which are developed reservoirs of the reef-bank type and unconformity type, and resulted in multistage hydrocarbon charge and accumulation during the Caledonian, Late Hercynian and Late Himalayan. With low matrix porosity and permeability of the Ordovician carbonate, the secondary solution pores and caverns serve as the main reservoir space. The polyphase tectonic movements formed unconformity reservoirs widely distributed around the paleo-uplifts; and the reef-bank reservoir is controlled by two kinds of sedimentary facies belts, namely the steep slope and gentle slope. The unconventional carbonate pool is characterized by extensive distribution, no obvious edge water or bottom water, complicated oil/gas/water relations and severe heterogeneity controlled by reservoirs. The low porosity and low permeability reservoir together with multi-period hydrocarbon accumulation resulted in the difference and complex of the distribution and production of oil/gas/water. The distribution of hydrocarbon is controlled by the temporal-spatial relation between revolution of source rocks and paleo-uplifts. The heterogenetic carbonate reservoir and late-stage gas charge are the main factors making the oil/ gas phase complicated. The slope areas of the paleo-uplifts formed in the Paleozoic are the main carbonate exploration directions based on comprehensive evaluation. The Ordovician of the northern slope of the Tazhong uplift, Lunnan and its periphery areas are practical exploration fields. The Yengimahalla-Hanikatam and Markit slopes are the important replacement targets for carbonate exploration. Gucheng, Tadong, the deep layers of Cambrian dolomite in the Lunnan and Tazhong-Bachu areas are favorable directions for research and risk exploration.展开更多

A 120-kb DNA fragment was previously identified as the ansamitocin biosynthetic gene cluster, and contains genes for polyketide assembly, precursor synthesis, post-polyketide synthesis modification, and regulation. Within the biosynthetic gene cluster, asm8 encodes an 1117-amino-acid protein with a high degree of similarity to the large ATP-binding LuxR family-type regulators. In the current study, we determined that inactivation of asm8 by gene replacement in ATCC 31565 resulted in the complete loss of ansamitocin production, and that complementation with a cloned asm8 gene restored ansamitocin biosynthesis. Interestingly, the disruption of asm8 decreased the transcription of genes responsible for 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoate (AHBA) formation, the starter unit required for ansamitocin biosynthesis. Subsequently, feeding of exogenous AHBA to the asm8 mutant restored ansamitocin biosynthesis, which showed that Asm8 is a specific positive regulator in AHBA biosynthesis. In addition, investigation of asm8 homologs identified two new ansamitocin producers, and inactivation of the asm8 homolog in A. pretiosum ATCC 31280 abolished ansamitocin production in this strain. Characterization of the positive regulator Asm8 and discovery of the two new ansamitocin producers paves the way for further improving production of this important antitumor agent.展开更多
