牛山湖浮游生物群落DNA指纹结构与物种组成的关系

利用RAPD及DGGE指纹技术揭示牛山湖5个采样点浮游生物群落的DNA多态性,并定性地探讨其与物种组成的关系.结果如下:(1)从40条随机引物中筛选出9条引物,共获得93条谱带,多态率为58%;各采样点所得谱带平均为67条,其中Ⅰ站最少,为61条,Ⅴ站最多,为74条;(2)PCR-DGGE指纹图谱共含102条谱带,其中原核生物56条,真核生物46条,谱带总数以Ⅲ站、Ⅳ站和Ⅴ站较多.Ⅰ站和Ⅱ站较少;(3)5个采样点共观察到62种/类浮游生物,其中Ⅰ站和Ⅱ站种类较少.Ⅲ站、Ⅳ站和Ⅴ站种类较多,分布概率在100%的种类达19种.多维尺度(MDS)分析表明:基于RAPD指纹和DGGE指纹,Ⅰ站和Ⅱ站最相似,Ⅲ站、Ⅳ站和Ⅴ站最相似;基于物种组成.Ⅳ站和Ⅴ站相似性最高,Ⅲ站和Ⅳ站次之,相对RAPD指纹和DGGE指纹,Ⅰ站和Ⅱ站相似性较低.研究表明:浮游生物群落DNA指纹结构与物种组成有一定的相关性,可能因部分物种信息的缺失导致些许偏差.     

Seasonal variation of plankton communities influenced by environmental factors in an artificial lake

We evaluated the seasonal variation in plankton community composition in an artificial lake. We conducted microscopic analysis and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified partial 16S rRNAand 18S rRNAgenes to characterize the plankton community. The clustering of unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) was then used to investigate the similarity of these plankton communities. DGGE fingerprinting revealed that samples collected at the different sites within a season shared high similarity and were generally grouped together. In contrast, we did not observe any seasonal variation based on microscopic analysis. Redundancy analysis (RDA) of the plankton operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in relation to environmental factors revealed that transparency was negatively correlated with the first axis (R=-0.931), and temperature and total phosphorus (TP) were positively correlated with the first axis (R=0.736 and R=0.660, respectively). In conclusion, plankton communities in the artificial lake exhibited significant seasonal variation. Transparency, phosphorus and temperature appear to be the major factors driving the differences in plankton composition.     

七株眼虫基于微卫星DNA指纹图谱的区分和关系分析

研究了牛山湖小型鱼类的群落结构、种群密度和多样性．共捕获14种小型鱼类,以1龄鱼为主,其中红鳍原鲌、似鱎、麦穗鱼和鳑鲏是优势种群．小型鱼类的密度为5．9 ind／m2或14．0 g／m2．小型鱼类的群落多样性较低,以个体数为单位计算的Shannon-Wiener多样性指数为1．802,Simpson优势度指数为0．484, Pielou种类均匀度指数为0．503．水生植被是牛山湖小型鱼类群落分布的主要影响因子,水草生境中小型鱼类数量显著比无水草生境中多,水深和透明度对小型鱼类群落分布无显著性影响．通过合理调控湖泊鱼类群落结构和放养食鱼性鱼类来合理持续利用小型鱼类,有利于提高湖泊经济效益和生态效益．     

东湖天蓝喇叭虫(Stentor coeruleus)种群的离散分化

利用筛选的12条10 bp的随机引物对采自武汉市东湖(3个样点)、南湖(3个样点)、月湖(1个样点)和关桥(1个样点)四个水体的天蓝喇叭虫(Stentor coeruleus)种群进行了随机扩增多态DNA(RAPD)研究,所得清晰条带显示不同样点样本之间存在着一定的变异,其遗传距离在0.076-0.416之间.用Rapdistance 1.04构建聚类图并探讨不同样点之间的遗传距离远近.结果显示南湖的3样点的遗传距离较近,在聚类图上聚成一枝,应该为同一个种群;而东湖的3个样点可能是由于地理隔离原因,在聚类图上有2个样点聚成一枝,而另1个样点被其他样点所分隔,不属于同一个种群.这种现象的发现从实例上支持了生物地理学关于物种形成的离散假说.更有意义的是本研究可启动水体微生物种群分化和物种形成及过渡的研究,并期望促进种群生态学方面的研究和谱系生物地理学及离散分化生物地理学的发展.
