By using this method, the topological consistency of contours in groups can be maintained effectively and the contours can be drawn smoothly based on boundaries pre-searching and local correction. An experimental example is given to demonstrate that the contours constructed by this method are of good quality.展开更多

After being irradiated with UV-B radiation, photosynthetic activity (FvlFm), cellular total carbohydrates, EPS and sucrose production of irradiated cells decreased, while reducing sugars, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, malondialdehyde (MDA) production and DNA strand breaks increased significantly. However, when pretreated with 100 mg/L exogenous EPS, EPS production in the culture medium of UVo B stressed cells decreased significantly; Fv/Fm, cellular total carbohydrates, reducing sugars and sucrose synthase (SS) activity of irradiated cells increased significantly, while ROS generation, MDA production and DNA strand breaks of irradiated cells decreased significantly. The results suggested that EPS exhibited a significant protective effect on DNA strand breaks and lipid peroxidation by effectively eliminating ROS induced by UV-B radiation in M. vaginatus.展开更多
