The density functional calculations on the structural and electronic properties of the endohedral fullerene dimer (N2@C60)2

The generalised gradient approximation based on density functional theory is used to study the structural and electronic properties of the endohedral fullerene dimer (N₂@C₆₀)₂. Four N atoms sit at the cage centres in the form of two N_2 molecules. The density of states and Mulliken charge analysis explore that the energy levels from -6 to -10 eV are mainly influenced by the N₂ molecules.     

CO2加富培养对鼠尾藻克制赤潮异弯藻效果的影响

采用实验生态学的方法,研究了大型海藻鼠尾藻(Sargassum thunbergii)对赤潮微藻中肋骨条藻(Skeletonema costatum)的克生效应及其对 CO2加富的响应变化.结果表明,正常培养的鼠尾藻新鲜组织、干粉末和水溶性抽提液能够导致中肋骨条藻的细胞密度显著降低(P<0.05), CO2加富培养的鼠尾藻新鲜组织、干粉末和水溶性抽提液能够更加明显地抑制中肋骨条藻种群生长(P<0.01).实验结果证实鼠尾藻对中肋骨条藻具有克生效应,而 CO2加富培养引起了鼠尾藻对中肋骨条藻克生效应的变化,使其对中肋骨条藻生长的抑制作用显著加强.正常培养的鼠尾藻培养水过滤液能够显著抑制中肋骨条藻的生长(P<0.05),而 CO2加富培养的鼠尾藻培养水过滤液对中肋骨条藻的生长没有表现出明显的影响(P>0.05),因此推测 CO2加富培养可能改变了鼠尾藻对中肋骨条藻克生作用的方式,作用方式由分泌克生物质转变为细胞直接接触转递.     

鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)对青蛤(Cyclina sinensis)的毒性及半致死浓度研究

利用不同浓度的鳗弧菌对青蛤进行了急性毒性实验,观察青蛤在菌液胁迫下的存活情况,进一步统计得到鳗弧菌对青蛤的半致死浓度。结果表明,青蛤在鳗弧菌液浓度OD600为1.0—2.2范围内,胁迫96h以内死亡率呈逐渐上升趋势,并且在OD600=2.2时所有受试个体全部死亡。在相同的胁迫时间内,受试个体死亡率与胁迫浓度均呈正相关。经SPSS16.0软件分析后,最终得到鳗弧菌对青蛤的半致死浓度(LC50)为OD600=1.57,说明鳗弧菌对青蛤有明显的毒害作用。     

Cd~(2+)对青蛤(Cyclina sinensis)的毒性及蓄积过程研究

利用水生动物急性毒性实验方法,在6个浓度下Cd2+对青蛤的急性毒性进行测定,经回归分析后,得到Cd2+对青蛤96h半致死浓度为20.09mg/L,安全浓度为0.201mg/L。分别对半致死浓度和安全浓度下Cd2+在青蛤体内不同组织的蓄积情况进行了分析。结果表明,在半致死浓度条件下,168h青蛤各组织Cd2+的含量依次为肌肉内脏团鳃;而在安全浓度下,其结果为内脏团鳃肌肉,内脏团对于Cd2+富集能力远高于肌肉。讨论了青蛤的养殖环境及产品检验等问题。     

浒苔对NH+4-N与NO-3-N吸收的相互作用

在国内首次研究了大型海洋绿潮藻浒苔(Ulva prolifera)对NH4+-N与NO 3--N两种氮源的选择吸收作用。结果表明:当两种氮源等浓度比例存在时,随着NH4+-N与NO3--N浓度升高,藻体对NH4+-N的吸收速率逐渐升高,而对NO3--N吸收受到抑制;当NO3--N和NH 4+-N高浓度比存在时,藻体对NH4-N的吸收速率随着NO3--N/NH4+-N比例的升高和NH4-N浓度的下降而降低;当NO3--N和NH4+-N低浓度比存在时,藻体对NH+4-N保持较高的吸收速率,而对NO3--N的吸收效率随着NO3--N浓度的降低而降低;浒苔具有同时利用水体中较高浓度的NH+4-N和NO3--N的能力,只有当NH4+-N或NO3--N浓度较低时,才以吸收相对应的氮源为主。这说明浒苔能够快速、大量地吸收水体中氮源,为爆发性增殖贮备物质条件。同时,即便两种氮源同时存在,浒苔对NH+4-N的吸收速率也远高于对NO3--N的吸收速率,因此,控制NH4+-N的大量输入仍是预防浒苔绿潮爆发的关键。     

Cholinesterase activities in the Antarctic scallop Adamussium colbecki: Tissue expression and effect of ZnCl2 exposure

Biochemical characterization of cholinesterase activity (ChE) was carried out on the Antarctic scallop Adamussium colbecki collected in winter 2000 from Campo Icaro (Ross Sea, Antarctica) in order to increase its suitability as a sentinel organism for monitoring the Antarctic environment. The digestive gland, gills and adductor muscle were investigated for substrate specificity and inhibitors sensitivity using acetylthiocholine iodide (ASCh) and butyrylthiocholine iodide (BSCh) as substrates and tetra (monoisopropyl)pyrophosphor-tetramide (Iso-OMPA), 1,5-bis(4-allyldimethylammoniumphenyl)-penthan-3-one dibromide (BW284c51) and the insecticide chlorpyrifos as inhibitors. Effect of in vivo exposure to ZnCl₂ was also investigated. All the tissues expressed ChE activity (gill > adductor muscle > digestive gland) and low substrates specificity throughout the hydrolysis of both ASCh and BSCh substrates. Partial (25–29%) and total inhibition (100%) of ChE activity in gills was demonstrated following in vitro incubation with Iso-OMPA and BW284c51 (3 mM), respectively. Concentration-dependent inhibition was also evident with chlorpyrifos in the range 10⁻⁴–10⁻¹⁰ M (IC₅₀ 10⁻⁶) while in vivo exposure to ZnCl₂ did not seem to affect ChE activity in the scallop. The potential use of ChE in the A. colbecki as biomarker for monitoring water contamination in the marine Antarctic environment is discussed.     

Appraisal of gas-hydrate/free-gas from VP/VS ratio in the Makran accretionary prism

Existence of gas-hydrate in the marine sediments elevates both the P- and S-wave seismic velocities, whereas even a small amount of underlying free-gas decreases the P-wave velocity considerably and the S-wave velocity remains almost unaffected. Study of both P- and S-wave seismic velocities or their ratio (V_P/V_S) for the hydrate-bearing sediment provides more information than that obtained by the P- or S-wave velocity alone for the quantitative assessment of gas-hydrate. We estimate the P- and S-wave seismic velocities across a BSR (interface between gas-hydrate and free-gas bearing sediments) using the travel time inversion followed by a constrained AVA modeling of multi channel seismic (MCS) data at two locations in the Makran accretionary prism. Using this V_P/V_S ratio, we then quantify the amount of gas-hydrate and free-gas based on two rock-physics models. The result shows an estimate of 12–14.5% gas-hydrate and 4.5–5.5% free-gas of the pore volume based on first model, and 13–20% gas-hydrate and 3–3.5% free-gas of the pore volume based on the second model, respectively.     

哈维氏弧菌对泥蚶的毒性及半致死浓度研究

为构建泥蚶感染弧菌标准技术体系,本研究采用哈维氏弧菌浸泡感染和注射胁迫两种攻毒方式对泥蚶进行了急性毒性实验,观察泥蚶在菌液胁迫下的存活情况,分析哈维氏弧菌对泥蚶的半致死浓度。浸泡感染实验结果表明,随着感染水体中弧菌升高,泥蚶死亡起始时间和最大日死亡率时间均有所提前,泥蚶死亡情况呈现上升趋势,当浸泡浓度超过2×10⁷CFU/mL,泥蚶15 d累计死亡率接近100%。注射胁迫实验结果表明,泥蚶死亡率与弧菌注射浓度呈显著正相关(r=0.964,P<0.01)。Probit回归分析结果显示,哈维氏弧菌浸泡感染泥蚶7 d后停止实验,15 d的半致死浓度(LC₅₀)为1.35×10⁷CFU/mL;注射胁迫下的96 h半致死剂量(96 h LD₅₀)为2.12×10⁷CFU/g,说明哈维氏弧菌对泥蚶有明显的毒害作用。研究结果为泥蚶对哈维氏弧菌耐受性提供数据参考,并且为泥蚶弧菌病防治提供了理论基础。

RNA干扰蚤状溞(Daphnia pulex)doublesex1基因的表达研究

为了探索doublesex1(dsx1)基因是否在蚤状溞的生殖转换过程中发挥作用,利用蚤状溞滤食摄食的特点将体外合成的dsx1双链RNA(ds RNA)通过浸泡得方法分别摄入不同生殖状态的溞体中,实现dsx1基因的表达沉默。随后采用荧光定量PCR(q PCR)以及整体原位杂交分别检测不同生殖状态下蚤状溞在RNAi前后体内dsx1的表达水平变化,进而研究dsx1在蚤状溞生殖转换过程中的作用。结果表明:雄性溞、两性溞、孤雌溞在RNAi后均出现了dsx1 m RNA表达水平的显著下调,且下调量具有显著性差异(P0.05)其中在孤雌溞中下调68%,在三种生殖状态中最为显著,其次是雄性溞(56%)和两性溞(20%)。同时发现,干扰前能够在溞的第一触角、第一胸肢和复眼上检测到明显的信号位点,而在RNAi后,仅在溞体的第一触角上发现少量dsx1基因表达位点,且第一胸肢及复眼上未检测到相关信号。结合未干扰前dsx1在不同生殖状态溞的表达定量以及定位结果,我们推测dsx1可能在蚤状溞的生殖转化基因调控过程中扮演关键角色,并且在维持雄性蚤状溞性别特征的机制中发挥重要作用。     

Alterations in seawater pH and CO2 affect calcification and photosynthesis in the tropical coralline alga, Hydrolithon sp. (Rhodophyta)

Calcification in the marine environment is the basis for the accretion of carbonate in structures such as coral reefs, algal ridges and carbonate sands. Among the organisms responsible for such calcification are the Corallinaceae (Rhodophyta), recognised as major contributors to the process world-wide. Hydrolithon sp. is a coralline alga that often forms rhodoliths in the Western Indian Ocean. In Zanzibar, it is commonly found in shallow lagoons, where it often grows within seagrass beds and/or surrounded by green algae such as Ulva sp. Since seagrasses in Zanzibar have recently been shown to raise the pH of the surrounding seawater during the day, and since calcification rates are sensitive to pH, which changes the saturation state of calcium carbonate, we measured the effects of pH on photosynthetic and calcification rates of this alga. It was found that pH had significant effects on both calcification and photosynthesis. While increased pH enhanced calcification rates both in the light and in the dark at pH >8.6, photosynthetic rates decreased. On the other hand, an increase in dissolved CO₂ concentration to 26 μmol kg⁻¹ (by bubbling with air containing 0.9 mbar CO₂) caused a decrease in seawater pH which resulted in 20% less calcification after 5 days of exposure, while enhancing photosynthetic rates by 13%. The ecological implications of these findings is that photosynthetically driven changes in water chemistry by surrounding plants can affect calcification rates of coralline algae, as may future ocean acidification resulting from elevated atmospheric CO₂.     

棘头梅童鱼的细胞遗传学特征和X1X1X2X2/X1X2Y性染色体系统

我们通过荧光染色、自身基因组原位杂交（Self-GISH）和多色荧光原位杂交（FISH），首次研究了棘头梅童鱼（Richardson，1844）的核型特征。雌性核型有24对端部着丝粒染色体（2n=48a，NF=48），而雄性核型包含22对端部着丝粒染色体，2条端部着丝粒染色体单体和1条中间着丝粒染色体（2n=1m+46a，NF=48）。雌性和雄性核型之间的差异表明，棘头梅童鱼的性染色体系统为X₁X₁X₂X₂/X₁X₂Y型，其中Y为雄性中特有的中间着丝粒染色体。三色FISH结果显示，5S rDNA和18S rDNA位点定位在最大的端着丝粒染色体（X₁）以及Y染色体的短臂；X₁染色体上有一个特异的臂间端粒信号（ITS），与5S rDNA位点部分重叠。Self-GISH结果显示，在推定的性染色体DNA重复序列聚集。根据实验结果我们提出关于棘头梅童鱼Y染色体起源的假说：Y染色体起源于祖先核型（2n=48a）中的两条端部着丝染色体融合，并且在此过程中伴随着片段缺失。本研究首次在石首鱼科中描述了异形的性染色体，将为其他石首鱼的性染色体研究提供线索。     

宁波沿海陆源排污口弓形杆菌属(Arobacter sp.)和梭菌属(Clostridium sp.)的分布特点

弓形杆菌属(Arobacter sp.)和梭菌属(Clostridium sp.)广泛存在于水体和寄生在动物体内,极易造成水体污染和人畜共患病。采用高通量454焦磷酸测序方法对宁波沿海2个重点排污口、8个一般排污口的20个站位水样进行分析,得到1年中的3月、5月、8月和10月份各排污口弓形杆菌属和梭菌属生物的分布情况。研究结果表明:弓形杆菌属检测出两个种,分别是嗜低温弓形杆菌(Arcobacter cryaerophilus)、布氏弓形杆菌(Arcobacter butzleri)。梭菌属共检测出12个种,其中产气荚膜梭菌(Clostridium perfringens)检出次数最高,丁酸梭菌(Clostridium butyricum)次之;排污口的类型是影响弓形杆菌属检出量的重要因素。弓形杆菌属主要分布在氮,磷含量较高的工业排污口和市政排污口,而梭菌属只在3月份的S7宁海西店崔家综合排污口呈现出相对较高的比例(7.5%),其它排污口检出量均在2%以下;弓形杆菌属和梭菌属在10个排污口20个站位4个月份的检出次数呈现正相关性;由季节性的变化引起的气温差异也是影响弓形杆菌属生长的重要因素,弓形杆菌属在5月份的时候检出次数最大,梭菌属适宜生长温度范围较广10—65°C,受温度影响较小。     

两种池养模式下异育银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio)生物学表型对体质量影响效果的差异分析

水产养殖动物的增重机制既是其生存对策的重要组成部分,也是影响其生长性能和养殖产量的重要内因。异育银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio)是我国的重要养殖鱼类,随机选取池塘生态主养模式(M₁)和池塘生态套养模式(M₂)下经7个月养殖的异育银鲫夏花苗种各70尾为研究对象,以全长(X₁)、体高(X₂)、体宽(X₃)、头长(X₄)、侧线长(X₅)、尾柄高(X₆)、腹鳍间距(X₇)、胸鳍间距(X₈)为体尺性状,净体质量(NW)、肠质量(W₁)、肝质量(W₂)、胃质量(W₃)、鳃质量(W₄)、心质量(W₅)和鳔质量(W₆)为称量性状,采用多元分析方法分别研究了M₁、M₂实验群体尺寸性状和称量性状对其体质量(BW)的影响效应。结果表明: (1)生物学测定结果显示, CV值大于10%的均为质量性状,小于10%的均为体尺性状,除NW、X₁、X₅和X₆均呈M₁<M₂ (P<0.05), X₄和各脏器质量均呈M₁>M₂ (P<0.05)外,其余性状间均无显著差异(P>0.05); (2)相关分析显示,除W₅与BW间相关系数均未达到显著水平(P>0.05)外,其余性状与BW间的相关系数均达到极显著水平(P<0.01); (3)经通径分析和复相关分析, M₁、M₂被保留体尺性状组合X₅-X₁-X₂和X₂-X₃-X₁-X₅的总决定系数和复相关指数均分别为0.889和0.927,称量性状组合NW-W₂-W₁-W₃和NW-W₂的总决定系数和复相关指数均分别为0.992和0.971; (4)经偏回归分析,得到了可用于估算BW的M₁最优方程组和M₂最优方程组。研究结果可为我国异育银鲫科学养殖提供有效参考。     

考洲洋牡蛎养殖海域海-气界面CO2交换通量的时空变化

根据2018年7月、11月和2019年1月、4月对广东考洲洋牡蛎养殖海域进行4个季节调查获得的pH、溶解无机碳(DIC)、水温、盐度、溶解氧(DO)及叶绿素a(Chla)等数据,估算该区域表层海水溶解无机碳体系各分量的浓度、初级生产力(P_P)、表层海水CO₂分压[p(CO₂)]和海-气界面CO₂交换通量(F_CO2),分析牡蛎养殖活动对养殖区碳循环的影响。结果表明:牡蛎养殖区表层海水中Chla、DIC、HCO₃^–和P_P显著低于非养殖区;养殖淡季表层海水中pH、DO、DIC、HCO₃^–、和CO₃^2–显著大于养殖旺季,养殖旺季的p(CO₂)和F_CO2显著大于养殖淡季。牡蛎养殖区表层海水夏季、秋季、冬季和春季的海-气界面CO₂交换通量F_CO2平均值分别是(42.04±9.56)、(276.14±52.55)、(–11.59±18.15)和(–13.02±6.71)mmol/(m²·d),冬季各站位F_CO2值离散度较大,其中位数是–10.73mmol/(m²·d)。在全年尺度,表层海水p(CO₂)及F_CO2与水温呈显著正相关,与盐度呈显著负相关。在非养殖区,浮游植物光合作用可能对影响表层海水p(CO₂)及F_CO2起主导作用。养殖牡蛎钙化、呼吸作用等生理因素释放的CO₂对表层海水p(CO₂)及F_CO2未产生显著影响。考洲洋养殖海域养殖旺季为CO₂的源,养殖淡季整体为CO₂的弱汇。

FAXDC2(fatty acid hydroxylase domain-containing protein 2)是脂肪酸羟化酶家族中的成员,在脂肪酸的合成与代谢中发挥重要功能。真蛸(Octopus vulgaris)是中国南方近海的经济种类,为了研究饥饿对真蛸FAXDC2(OvFAXDC2)基因表达的影响,本研究从课题组真蛸转录组数据库中筛选获得OvFAXDC2基因序列。采用从头至趾方法进行验证,最终获得OvFAXDC2的cDNA全长序列共1384 bp。它包含100 bp的5′非编码区(UTR)、228 bp的3′UTR和1056 bp的开放阅读框(ORF), ORF共编码351个氨基酸,预测其分子量为3.98 kDa,理论等电点为8.93。系统进化树分析显示,真蛸和加州双斑蛸(O. bimaculoides)聚为一支,而与其他无脊椎动物分开。实时荧光定量PCR分析表明, OvFAXDC2在消化腺中表达量最高,在鳃和鳃心中次之。在幼体饥饿试验中,随着时间的推移, OvFAXDC2表达量先升后降,在第三天达到最高,表明OvFAXDC2表达量的变化趋势可作为幼体代谢是否正常的一个指标。     

Short-term variability of fCO2 in seawater and air–sea CO2 fluxes in a coastal upwelling system (Ría de Vigo, NW Spain)

Coastal upwelling systems are regions with highly variable physical processes and very high rates of primary production and very little is known about the effect of these factors on the short-term variations of CO₂ fugacity in seawater (fCO₂^w). This paper presents the effect of short-term variability (<1 week) of upwelling–downwelling events on CO₂ fugacity in seawater (fCO₂^w), oxygen, temperature and salinity fields in the Ría de Vigo (a coastal upwelling ecosystem). The magnitude of fCO₂^w values is physically and biologically modulated and ranges from 285 μatm in July to 615 μatm in October. There is a sharp gradient in fCO₂^w between the inner and the outer zone of the Ría during almost all the sampling dates, with a landward increase in fCO₂^w.CO₂ fluxes calculated from local wind speed and air–sea fCO₂ differences indicate that the inner zone is a sink for atmospheric CO₂ in December only (−0.30 mmol m⁻² day⁻¹). The middle zone absorbs CO₂ in December and July (−0.05 and −0.27 mmol·m⁻² day⁻¹, respectively). The oceanic zone only emits CO₂ in October (0.36 mmol·m⁻² day⁻¹) and absorbs at the highest rate in December (−1.53 mmol·m⁻² day⁻¹).
