Abstract:In this paper 3 different media (A,for yeast cultivation ; B, for laccase producing; D, for white rot fungi cultivation) were compared in enriching and screening decolorizing fungi culture using Reactive Black 5 (RB5) and Reactive Red (M-3BE) from the following three points: decolorization effects, abilities of producing enzymes and diversity of microbial community. 11 groups of fungi with obvious decolorization effects were obtained after enrichment for near one month. Among them, 6 groups came from medium D, the other two 3 groups from medium A and B, respectively. However, the 3 groups from medium A exhibited the highest microbial diversity and best decolorization results with 99.53% and 97.42% color removal rate of Reactive Red M-3BE and Acid Red. From them, 16 strains of fungi were isolated and primarily identified as Saprolegniaceae, Eurotiaceae (Monascus went), Erysiphaceae and Physodermataceae. Fungi groups from medium B and D exhibited a bit lower color removal rate of various dyes and only 3 and 2 isolates primarily classified as Saccharomycetaceae and Eurotiaceae (Penicillium) were obtained from them. Fungi cultures in medium A and B could produce lignin peroxidase, and those in medium D could be detected higher activity of laccase. All the fungal cultures exhibited very weak activity of manganese dependant peroxidase.

Abstract:Construction of mutant strain is an essential method in pathogenesis researches. The conventional method for Brucella unmarked deletion mutant construction is based on suicide plasmid, but the efficiency is very low. In the present study, we first optimized the electroporation parameters, and then, the cloning plasmid pEX18Gm containing sacB was successfully used to construct unmarked deletion mutant of the type IV secretion system. This indicated that by using conventional cloning plasmid as suicide plasmid in Brucella, unmarked deletion mutants can be constructed with high efficiency.

Abstract:Norovirus is recognized as one of the major cause agents of foodborne or waterborne non-bacterial gastroenteritis. The development of RT-PCR for detection of norovirus in fecal samples, and then the potential usefulness of the assay were confirmed for detection of water samples which were contaminated by norovirus in experiment circumstance. The specificity and sensitivity were also evaluated in the assay. The anticipated band of 327bp were obtained when the primer set of JV12/JV13 were used, which targeting RNA dependent polymerase. The specific amplicons were further confirmed by southern hybridization and the same results obtained after many repeats. The detection limits were 50pg/mL in fecal samples, and 200pg/mL in artificially contaminated water samples. In a total of 42 experimentally contaminated water samples, 38 samples were positive for norovirus and 4 pond water samples were negative. The results may stem from unrecovery of norovirus and the inhibitors in these water samples. The assay developed in this study can be applied to screening norovirus in water, and can attribute to the control of water quality.

Abstract:The study aimed at investigation the effect of the transgenic biocontrol bacteria 308R(pCPP430) on the tomato rhizosphere bacterial communities. Strain 308R (Pantoea agglomerans), an adnascent bacterium isolated from tomato, was a biocontrol bacterium. The recombinant cosmid pCPP430 contained the hrp gene cluster of Erwinia amylovora was transformed into 308R Strain. Transgenic biocontrol bacterium 308R(pCPP430) produced Harpin protein which induce hypersensitive response and disease resistance in plants and, surprisingly, increase plant growth. Two complementary methods, sole-carbon-source utilization tests (SCSU) and ERIC-PCR, were used to compare the characterization of bacterial communities from three groups of tomato roots dipped in sterilized water, 308R suspended liquid and 308R(pCPP430) suspended liquid. The cluster analysis and principal components analysis of the number of colonies from SCSU indicated consistent differences in the rhizosphere of each group. Cluster analysis of SCSU data showed that there were consistent differences in the rhizosphere of each group. The rhizosphere bacteria communities of root dipped with 308R(pCPP 430) and 308R have a relative good replication, but the differences of corresponding replicates in dipped with distilled water was increased by degrees. Cluster analysis of ERIC-PCR fingerprints revealed that most of results (eight in ten) have overlaps between roots dipped in water and those dipped in 308R liquid. The methods used in this study may prove a useful approach for the comparison of bacterial communities.

Abstract:The vip3A gene of Bt9816C was cloned and the sequencing result was submitted to GenBank (accession no.AY945939). The gene was identified as a novel vip3Aa gene, which was assigned name vip3Aa18 by the Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin nomenclature committee. Subsequently, vip3Aa18 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 and bioassay demonstrated that the purified recombinant Vip3Aa18 had high toxicity against Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera exigua. The results of sequence analysis revealed that a carbohydrate binding domain exists on the C-termini 536 to 667 residues of Vip3Aa18,which maybe participate in binding to midgut receptors in susceptible insects. Moreover, a transmembrane helices located on N-termini 272 to 292 residues was proposed responding for pore formation. Furthermore, a putative disulfide bond was found in the Vip3Aa18 sequence. The specific structures and sites of Vip3Aa18 sequence imply potential function.

Abstract:In order to study the SLA-Ⅰ molecular characterization of the Bama miniature pig which is an eugenic chinese breed, a pair of primers were designed to amplify the SLA-2 (SLA-2*bm) and then the molecular characterization of the interest gene was analyzed by computer. After cloning, sequencing and analyzing by computer, SLA-2*bm was 1119bp and the ORF frame from 3 to 1097 coded 364 amino acids with two sets of disulfide bond in intro-chain constituted by four cysteines situated in 125, 188, 227 and 283 sites. The amino acid identical ratios between SLA-2*bm and other SLA-2, SLA-3 and SLA-1 alleles were 88.4%~96.4%, 88.3%~90.5% and 87.7%~ 92.7%, respectively. The phylogenetic tree of the SLA-2*bm demonstrated that it was relatively independent to other SLA-2 genes and evolved at low extent. Besides, the SLA-2*bm was similar to the HLA-A2 and H-2K in functional domains and it preserved some functional sites of HLA-A2. The results indicated that SLA-2*bm was a new allele of SLA-2 and the Bama miniature pig might keep down the archaic genetic characterization in China.

Abstract:The natural promoter of aldehyde/alcohol dehydrogenase (AdhE) gene (adhE) from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus was analyzed in Escherichia coli using a gene expression reporter system. The sequence immediately upstream of adhE is recognized as a constitutive promoter in E.coli, as well as being presumably an active promoter in T.ethanolicus. The natural promoter of adhE is composed of two independent promoter regions, although activities of the two independent promoter regions are much lower than that of the natural promoter. The results indicate that the AdhE synthesis is cooperatively regulated by the two promoters in T.ethanolicus.

Abstract:The biochemical properties of a V. parahaemolyticus bacterophage were investigated. The results show that when the bacterophage infects the V. parahaemolyticus, the optimum pH value is 8; the optimum temperature is 35℃.The bacterophage is inactivated quickly when treated with upper 60℃. Also the bacterophage is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and resistant to aether and chloroform. The incubation period of the V. parahaemolyticus has great effects to the bacterophage's bacteriolysis proportion. In Log phase, the bacterophage infects the V. parahaemolyticus easily. However the aged V. parahaemolyticus is resistant to bacterophage's infection. It's favorable to the bacterophage attaching to the V. parahaemolyticus when Ca2+ or Mg2+ was added into the culture medium. The ability of lysis of the bacterophage is strongest when the salinity of the water is about 20. The best multiplicity of infection is 0.1~1.0.

Abstract:Protamines are a group of native polycationic antimicrobial peptides, which have a broad range of antimicrobial activity. Protamines inhibit or kill bacteria by destroying their cell wall, cell membrane and changing permeability of cytoplasm membrane. While protamine inhibit or kill bacteria, bacteria are induced a variety of mechanisms to resist it. Several physical and chemical factors, such as temperature, pH, cations and EDTA, can affect protamine's inhibitory potency to bacteria. Because protamines have many advantages in antimicrobial activity, they have been developed a kind of promising food preservative presently.
