浙江海域天竺鲷科鱼类新纪录种—黑边银口天竺鲷(Jaydia truncata)形态特征与DNA条形码研究

2015年10月中旬,在浙江省舟山市近海的渔业资源调查中采集到天竺鲷标本,经鉴定发现其中黑边银口天竺鲷为浙江新纪录种。本文对采集的6尾黑边银口天竺鲷标本拍摄照片并开展形态特征和DNA条形码研究,对该种的拉丁学名进行校正。黑边银口天竺鲷的有效学名为Jaydia truncata(Bleeker,1854)。具有以下主要形态特征:背鳍鳍条数VII+I,9,胸鳍鳍条数16—17;背前鳞数4;第一鳃弓总鳃耙数3—4+11—13,发达鳃耙数1+9—10,角鳃弓上的鳃耙数9;前鳃盖骨边缘锯齿状;第一背鳍上端黑色,第二背鳍及尾鳍边缘黑色,第二背鳍与臀鳍中部各具一黑色纵纹。本研究分析了浙江海域5种天竺鲷科鱼类的形态差异,并编制了检索表。测定了6尾标本的DNA条形码,结合Gen Bank中所有学名为Jaydia truncata及其同种异名的同源序列分析,发现所有个体明显分为两个分支,且两者遗传距离达到0.149,表明两分支可能为不同的有效种,Gen Bank中只有AB890050和JQ681488与本研究序列结果相近。

尼泡马陆属（Nepalella）是泡马陆目（Chordeumatida）中多样性较丰富的属,全世界已记录27种,其中中国已知12种,主要分布在云南、四川、重庆、贵州,且该属多数种类为穴居类型。该文记述采自中国四川省彭州市洞穴内的真穴居尼泡马陆一新种,即何力尼泡马陆（N. helii sp. nov.）,这是四川省记录的第四个尼泡马陆属物种。该新种与其近缘种类巨尼泡马陆（N. grandoides Golovatch, Geoffroy & Mauriés, 2006）（四川省北川县）的区别在于：（1）体型较小,体长27.5~36.0 mm;（2）雄性第3~5对足的股节近基部具一蘑菇状突起;（3）前生殖肢基板正中部突起明显,呈刺状;（4）后生殖肢基节侧缘中上部具一小型刺状分枝。同时,该文利用分子生物学提取了何力尼泡马陆的DNA,扩增了线粒体细胞色素C氧化酶I亚基基因（cytochrome c oxidase I, COI）的条形码。新的核苷酸序列上传至GenBank数据库,登录号为OL420758。     

南海长棘海星物种有效性探讨

南海长棘海星暴发已严重威胁到该海域珊瑚礁生态系统健康,乃至整个南海生物多样性。针对南海长棘海星拉丁学名混用、中文名不统一的现状,我们采集了中沙群岛济猛暗沙海域长棘海星样品,结合长棘海星此前物种分类和分布的研究结果,对南海长棘海星物种有效性进行探讨。结果表明：所有长棘海星序列明显分为4个类群,各类群间遗传距离范围为0.087 5~0.104 7,达到了种间差异水平。南海长棘海星与长棘海星的太平洋种聚类到一起,实为太阳长棘海星(Acanthaster solaris),与其余3个种存在明显的种间差异。太阳长棘海星中2个支系间的遗传距离为0.005 3,在COⅠ基因层面属于种内差异。南海长棘海星物种有效性的研究结果为后续开展其遗传特征与适应性机制、种群分布与扩散机制、种群暴发机制等内容的研究提供科学依据。     

Abschätzung der Eignung einer molekularbiologischen Methode zur Charakterisierung der Grundwasserbiozönose

Assessing the Suitability of a Molecularbiological Method To Characterise the Microbial Populations in Groundwater A molecularbiological technique was used to characterise the bacterial community structure of groundwater habitats. This method consists of the isolation of bacterial DNA from the samples, amplification of 16S rDNA by PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and separation of the amplified DNA by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis). By using more specific primer combinations in the PCR instead of universal eubacterial primers, also groups of microorganisms (Proteobacteria, sulfate reducer, Archaea) were determined. The resulting DGGE patterns that reflect the microbial diversity are compared and differences or similarities evaluated. In the present studies, groundwater from different sites (bank filtrate, artificially recharged groundwater, and natural groundwater) and with changing redox milieus (aerobic, anaerobic) were investigated as well as the solid aquifer material. Besides, samples were taken from the different stages of artificial groundwater recharge, i.e., from surface water to the drain tile. Samples from groundwater derived from sites with different hydrogeochemical or hydrological conditions like bank filtrate and recharged groundwater revealed great differences in DGGE patterns indicating a characteristic species composition in these habitats, while samples taken at different times from the same groundwater showed only small seasonal variations. Clearly different patterns were also found for groundwater and the adjacent solid material as well as for anaerobic and aerobic groundwaters. Looking at artificial groundwater recharge, almost identical patterns were found in raw water and samples from gravel and sand filtration. DGGE patterns from the resulting groundwater indicated a total change in community structure during underground passage. By using group specific primers, Desulfovibrionaceae, Desulfobacteriaceae, and Archaea could be detected in anaerobic groundwaters.The molecularbiological approach described here gives an increasingly comprehensive and more precise picture of the microbial population of different environments. It is especially suitable to compare the community structure from different habitats or to analyse changes for example due to environmental stress at the same site.     

West versus East Mediterranean Sea: origin and genetic differentiation of the sea cucumber Holothuria polii

We studied the genetic structure of the sea cucumber Holothuria (Roweothuria) polii (Delle Chiaje 1823) by analysing the mitochondrial DNA variation in two fragments of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and 16S genes. Individuals were collected in seven locations along the Mediterranean Sea, which cover a wide range of the species distribution. We found high haplotype diversity for COI and moderate diversity for 16S, and low nucleotide diversity for both genes. Our results for the COI gene showed many recent and exclusive haplotypes with few mutational changes, suggesting recent or ongoing population expansion. The Western and Eastern Mediterranean populations exhibited slight but significant genetic differentiation (COI gene) with higher genetic diversity in the East. The most ancient haplotype was not present in the westernmost sampling location (SE Spain). The oldest expansion time was observed in Turkey, corresponding to mid‐Pleistocene. Turkey had also the highest genetic diversity (number of total and exclusive haplotypes, polymorphisms, haplotype and nucleotide diversity). This suggests that this region could be the origin of the subsequent colonizations through the Mediterranean Sea, a hypothesis that should be assessed with nuclear markers in future research.     

消油剂和120#燃料油对海胆DNA损伤及甲基化影响

利用120#燃料油分散液和消油剂处理的乳化液测定海胆急性毒性和慢性DNA损伤及全基因组甲基化水平变化,确定消油剂处理的120#燃料油对海胆的毒性影响。结果表明:消油剂单独使用对海胆的影响微乎其微,经消油剂处理的燃料油乳化液中的多环芳烃质量浓度明显高于分散液中的质量浓度;乳化液和分散液对海胆都有明显的毒性作用,其96h半数效应浓度(EC50)值分别为12.03g/L和29.15g/L;DNA损伤研究表明,乳化液处理的海胆肠细胞彗星拖尾情况比同质量浓度分散液中拖尾情况更加严重;全基因组甲基化水平比分散液中更低,表明乳化液的急性毒性更大,所造成的DNA损伤更加严重。结果提示消油剂的使用会增大燃料油对海胆的毒性效应。     

Stock structure and demographic history of the Indo-West Pacific mud crab Scylla serrata

The increasing exploitation of mangrove forests, without any sustainable planning, has been seriously compromising the survival of this ecosystem and of its exclusive resources. Scylla serrata is one of the most commercially exploited crabs inhabiting mangroves and estuaries of the Indo-Pacific region. This species is extensively harvested, mainly for selling to the tourist market, and, as a consequence, its populations are in constant decline. The aim of the present study was to assess the level of genetic exchange of S. serrata within the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), using a population genetic structure approach. To achieve this goal, we reconstructed the intra-specific geographic pattern of genetic variation by partial sequencing the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I, in samples from seven mangrove sites of the WIO. Our data set then encompassed all the sequences for the same genetic marker deposited in Genbank and corresponding to samples from South East Asia, Australia and some Pacific Islands: this allowed us to estimate the level of connectivity among S. serrata populations within its distribution area.     

许氏平鲉(Sebastes schlegelii)速生选育群体的生长性能与遗传特征分析

本研究目的为开展许氏平鲉(Sebastes schlegelii)遗传改良和优质新品系选育,选取荣成(R)和长岛(C)的野生许氏平鲉为基础群体,采用群体选育(群体内和群体间)和家系选育相结合的方法,获得R-F1、RC-F1两个群体选育群体和R-F2、RC-F2、R-F3、RC-F3四个家系选育群体。对4个选育家系的生长性能进行比较分析,并利用20对高多态性的微卫星标记对8个群体进行遗传多样性检测。结果表明:(1)群体内和群体间家系选育子3代比家系选育子2代生长速度分别提高21.59%和30.99%。4个选育家系后代的绝对增重率随着天数的增加而上升,群体内家系选育(R-F3)的生长速度、绝对增重率显著大于群体间的杂交选育系(RC-F3),杂交系未表现出生长的杂种优势。(2)20对微卫星位点在所有群体中均表现出较高多态性,8个群体的平均有效等位基因数(Νe)为2.9849—7.9598,平均观测杂合度(oH)和期望杂合度(He)分别为0.7230—0.8405和0.6315—0.8716,平均多态信息含量(PIC)为0.6472—0.8478。经两代家系选育的R-F3和RC-F3平均等位基因数显著降低,但观测杂合度(Ho)和期望杂合度(He)均值仍达到0.7230、0.7549和0.6527、0.6315,还有维持了较高的遗传多样性水平,遗传潜力较大。Hardy-Weinberg平衡检测结果和遗传偏离指数(d)表明各群体在大约10个位点上表现出一定程度的杂合子缺失现象。群体间平均遗传分化系数(Fst)为0.1279,各群体间存在中等遗传分化程度。R与R-F1分别与RC-F3遗传距离最远(0.9959、0.9848),预测利用两组群体中生长优良个体分别进行杂交育种有可能获得杂种优势。     

Measuring molecular variation in zooplankton populations: DNA extraction from smallDaphnia species

We present methods developed for the small-sizedDaphnia species,D. galeata, D. hyalina, D. cucullata, and their hybrids, which facilitate the use of DNA variation in population studies. Described are large-scale production of material from single genotypes ofDaphnia and subsequent extraction of total DNA. The average DNA yields ranged between 6 µg per gram wet weight (D. cucullata) and 12 µg per gram wet weight (D. galeata). For comparison, the large-sized speciesD. pulex was tested and yielded an average of 28 µg DNA per gram wet weight. The DNA isolated in this manner lends itself well to molecular genetic techniques suited for population studies.Reprint requests to B. Streit.
