Sixty experimental rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (half males and half females in each group) as normal control group, high fat diet control group, and three groups (Group 1 Group 2, Group 3) that were fed with feedstuff with the contents of the seed oil of 2.0g/(kgd-1), 4.0g/(kgd-1) and 8.0g/(kgd-1), respec-tively. The indexes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and anti-oxidation capacity (AOC) were measured by Reagent Kit method. It was found that the seed oil of the Korean pine could reduce the content of triglyc-eride and improve SOD as well as GSH-PX activity in serum. These indexes of the rats in Group 2 fed with Korean pine seed oil of 4.0 g/(kgd-1) reached the significant level and those of rats in Group 3 fed with the seed oil of 8.0 g/(kgd-1) reached the extremely significant level. The results indicated the seed oil of Korean pine had function of regulating the level of blood-fat and anti-ageing.展开更多

Against Staphy/ococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, solanacearum the minimal inhibitory concentration （MIC） was 2.5, 5, 0.625 iJg/ml, 0.625 and 1.25 g/ml, the minimum bactericidal concentration （MBC） was 5, 5, 1.25, 2.5, 2.5 g/ml, respectively. Composition identification of chemical method and mass spectrometry shows that the antibacterial active substance alkaloids; and the safety evaluation on the model plant Arabidopsis shows that the antibacterial active substance had no inhibitory and adverse effects on the growth and development of plants. The experimental results show that the antibacterial active substance is a broad-spectrum, high efficiency, safe antibacterial natural product, with the prospect of development and utilization of alternative antibiotics.展开更多

The sponge harbors a large number of bacterial groups that have been identified using various techniques, including fluorescent in situ hybridization （FISH）. Fractionation of dissociated sponge allowed isolation of 25 bacterial species. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, phylogenetic analysis attributed most of these eubacteria to cL-Proteobacteria, y-Proteobacteria, Cytophaga/Flavobacterium/Bacteroidetes （CFB group）, and the family Bacillaceae of Gram-positive bacteria. In sequence similarity, five putatively novel species were identified with less than 98% similarity to other strains in the NCBI database. Tests for antimicrobial activities were performed against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, antitumor indicators Escherichia coli 343/591 （with DNA repair deficiency）, regular E. coli 343/636 （with different DNA repair capacity）, and 10 bacterial isolates exhibited inhibitory bioactivities. Among these strains, three isolates were detected involving function gene NRPS-A domains, which were most closely related to the amino acid sequences of linear gramicidin synthetase and pyoverdine synthetase. These results contribute to our knowledge of the microbes associated with marine sponges and further reveal novel bacterial resources for the screening of bioactive marine natural products.展开更多
