Efficient expression of green fluorescent protein （GFP） mediated by a chimeric promoter in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

To improve the expression efficiency of exogenous genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii,a high efficient expression vector was constructed.Green fluorescent protein(GFP) was expressed in C.reinhardtii under the control of promoters:RBCS2 and HSP70A-RBCS2.Efficiency of transformation and expression were compared between two transgenic algae:RBCS2 mediated strain Tran-Ⅰ and HSP70A-RBCS2 mediated strain Tran-Ⅱ.Results show that HSP70A-RBCS2 could improve greatly the transformation efficiency by approximately eightfold of RBCS2,and the expression efficiency of GFP in Tran-Ⅱ was at least double of that in Tran-Ⅰ.In addition,a threefold increase of GFP in Tran-Ⅱwas induced by heat shock at 40°C.All of the results demonstrated that HSP70A-RBCS2 was more efficient than RBCS2 in expressing exogenous gene in C.reinhardtii.     

微囊藻毒素粗提物对水环境中温和气单胞菌活的非可培养状态的影响

细菌VBNC状态(Viable but non-culturable state),又称"活的非可培养状态",是自然水体中广泛存在的细菌的一种特殊存活状态,复杂的环境因子变化是VBNC状态转换的可能原因.本研究利用接种温和气单胞菌的无菌湖水,研究铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)培养液和微囊藻毒素粗提液对水环境中温和气单胞菌VBNC状态转换的影响,结果发现,温和气单胞菌在无菌湖水中同时存在VBNC状态和可培养状态;产毒微囊藻培养液和微囊藻毒素粗提液均能促进温和气单胞菌中VBNC细菌与可培养细菌之间的状态转换,说明微囊藻毒素可能是水环境中影响细菌VBNC状态转换的重要环境因素,其进一步的分子机制研究正在进行中.

大亚湾人工鱼礁区浮游植物的种类组成和生物量研究

于2005年11月、2006年5月及2006年12月,对大亚湾人工鱼礁投放区、拟投放区和对照区浮游植物的种类组成及生物量进行了研究.合计观察到藻类种类67种.主要由硅藻门(48种)和甲藻门(13种)组成,同时还有少量蓝藻、绿藻和着色鞭毛藻门等其他藻类(6种).优势种类主要有尖刺拟菱形藻、菱形海线藻、尖刺菱形藻等硅藻类和又状甲藻、海洋原甲藻及海洋原多甲藻等甲藻类,这些优势种类均为可能引发赤潮的赤潮生物.人工鱼礁区的藻类数量和叶绿素含量均比对照区高,说明人工鱼礁的投放促进了藻类的生长:人工鱼礁区和拟投放区的Shannonweaver多样性指数高于对照区,进一步表明人工鱼礁的投放增加了藻类的生物多样性.综合浮游植物的种类组成、生物量及多样性指数的结果表明:人工鱼礁的投放促进了浮游植物的生长,增加了生物多样性,但藻类的优势类群是可引发赤潮的赤潮生物,对海洋水环境具有极大的潜在威胁.
