[Method]Through artificial simulation of drought stress environment,the changes of physiological indexes,such as content of proline,malonaldehyde,and reducing sugar in Yixing lily leaf and bulb were observed,when soil water content changed. [Result]The response to drought stress of the Yixing lily leaf was greater than that of the bulb,and the content of the proline and malonaldehyde was higher than that of the reducing sugar. [Conclusion]The leaves as an appropriate material for evaluation and analysis on drought resistance can better reflect the physiological responses of Yixing lily to drought stress. And the content of the malonaldehyde and that of proline are preferable indexes.展开更多

EPS mediate the contact between microbial cells and growth substrates, having a pivotal role in organic film formation and bacterium-substratum interactions. The production and chemical composition of EPS produced by seven bioleaching strains grown with different substrates were studied. Analysis of the EPS extracted from these strains indicated that the EPS consisted of carbohydrates, proteins and galacturonic acid. The contents of EPS, carbohydrates, proteins and galacturonic acid of EPS were largely related to the kind of strain used and culture condition. The results show that EPS productions of microbes grown with pyrite were significantly higher than those of microbes grown with sulfur or FeSO4·7H2O. The highest EPS production of the seven acidiphilic strains was (159.43±3.93) mg/g, which was produced by Leptospirillum ferriphilum CBCBSUCSU208015 when cultivated with pyrite.展开更多

[Method] A bacterial strain T-11 capable of producing bioflocculant was isolated from activated sludge. Detailed tests on the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics were carried out and identification was performed to identify the strain. Finally, the bioflocculant was isolated and purified, and the flocculating activity and chemical characteristics were measured. [Result] It was identified as Serratia plumuthica based on its morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics. This strain secreted flocculant best in a culture medium which included sucrose and NaNO3. The maximal cell growth was achieved within 10 h and the flocculating activity paralleled to it. It was found to be effective for flocculation of kaolin suspension, when added at a final concentration of 0.7 mg/L, over a range of pHs (2-7), and temperature (approximately 30-80 ℃). Chemical analysis indicated that the bioflocculant was an acidic polysaccharide consisting of glucose, glucuronic acid and galactose, talose and altrose. Infrared spectrum analysis also revealed typical characteristics of polysaccharides. [Conclusion] The biofloccu- lants produced by strain T-11 can greatly improve the ability of activated sludge to settle.展开更多

[Method]With 3-4 weeks tomato seedlings as tested materials,through simulating external environment conditions by the cold treatment in lab,the survival ratio and growth status of seedlings were identified; by studying the morphological change of in vitro leaves after cold treatment and determining the relative conductivity,the cold-resistant degree of different tomato strains was identified and the correlation between conductivity and survival rate was analyzed; the variation of soluble sugar and praline content in plant of tomato was determined under the condition of cold stress. [Result]The results showed that leaf morphological changes,size of conductivity and growth status of different tomato strains after cold treatment have significant differences; the variation of soluble sugar contents in plant has significant differences,while the variation of proline content has no significant differences. [Conclusion]There is a certain correlation between conductivity and survival rate under cold treatment conditions,and plant cold tolerance is related to accumulation of soluble sugar content.展开更多

The full-length cDNA sequence of porcine RPLPO was obtained from skeletal muscle of fetal pig cDNA library and deposited in GenBank. The nucleotide sequence and the predicted protein sequence shared high sequence identity with other mammalian homologues. A C/A single nucleotide substitution in exon 5 was detected as Csp6 Ⅰ polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) shows allele frequency diversity among Tongcheng, Xiaomeishan, Yushan, Large White, Landrace, and Duroc breeds. Analyses of somatic cell hybrid panel (SCI-IP) and radiation hybrid (IMpRH) panel showed that the RPLPO gene was mapped to SSC 14q22-q24 and was closely linked to locus SW1321 (25 cR, LOD = 14.54).展开更多

Genotyping of SNP --4522C/T in 304 patients with CHD, 389 patients with T2DM, and 405 age and sex-matched healthy control subjects was carried out by means of PCR-RFLP approach. No significant difference in the genotype or allele frequencies was found, either between patients with CHD and control subjects, or between patients with T2DM and control subjects. However, in the subgroup analysis, an association of the TAr genotype and T allele with type 2 diabetes combined with obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) was found (P = 0.014 and P = 0.034, respectively). Also the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in T2DM patients with T/T genotype was significantly higher than that in T2DM patients carrying C allele (P = 0.0069). The authors' findings for the first time demonstrated that SNP --4522 in the adiponectin gene was associated with T2DM that combined with obesity and higher insulin resistance index in patients with T2DM. This indicated that the variation might associate with an increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetic obesity and insulin resistance. But -4522C/T polymorphism did not contribute to the susceptibility of CHD.展开更多

文摘The authors investigated the possible association of -4522C/T variation of adiponectin gene with coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Genotyping of SNP --4522C/T in 304 patients with CHD, 389 patients with T2DM, and 405 age and sex-matched healthy control subjects was carried out by means of PCR-RFLP approach. No significant difference in the genotype or allele frequencies was found, either between patients with CHD and control subjects, or between patients with T2DM and control subjects. However, in the subgroup analysis, an association of the TAr genotype and T allele with type 2 diabetes combined with obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) was found (P = 0.014 and P = 0.034, respectively). Also the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in T2DM patients with T/T genotype was significantly higher than that in T2DM patients carrying C allele (P = 0.0069). The authors' findings for the first time demonstrated that SNP --4522 in the adiponectin gene was associated with T2DM that combined with obesity and higher insulin resistance index in patients with T2DM. This indicated that the variation might associate with an increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetic obesity and insulin resistance. But -4522C/T polymorphism did not contribute to the susceptibility of CHD.
