Construction of Porphyra yezoensis Pure Line from Protoplasts and Its 18S rDNA Sequence Determination

The wild Porphyra yezoensis collected from the Qingdao coast was used to prepare protoplasts by enzyme digestion. The pure line was constructed by cultivating the protoplasts. The 18S rDNA of the P. yezoensis pure line was cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis was executed for this sequence and other 22 sequences retrieved from GenBank. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining method. The results revealed a high diversity of 18S rDNA sequences in genus Porphyra and the considerable variation of 18S rDNA sequences in different strains of the same species P. yezoensis and P. tenera. Significant difference of 18S rDNA sequence was observed between P. yezoensis from Qingdao, China, and the two strains of P. yezoensis from Japan, but the three strains of P. yezoensis formed a stable clade in the phylogenetic tree. These results indicate the possibility of interspecies and intraspecies discrimination of Porphyra using the 18S rDNA sequences.

Comparative studies on structural feature of agar polysaccharides fromPorphyra haitanensis grown in south and north China

The structural feature of agar polysaccharides fromPorphyra haitanensis grown in south China and transplanted to the north was investigated by fractionation on DEAE—Sephadex A 50, chemical analysis, and infrared and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. The agars composed mainly of charged molecules were eluted from DEAE—Sephadex A 50 with 1.0 mol/L NaCl solution from the southernP. haitanensis and with 0.5 mol/L NaCl from the northern one. The¹³C-NMR spectra showed that agarobiose [(1→3)-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactopyranose] and the biological precursor of agarobiose [(1→3)-β-D-galactopyra nosyl-(1→4)-6-sulfate-α-L-galactopyranose] were the major disaccharide repeating units in the charged fractions. The content of the biological precursor in the agar polysaccharides from southernP. haitanensis was higher than that in the northern one, the content of the biological precursor extracted from cold water was higher than that from hot water, and the content of 6-OMe-D-galactose in the southernP. haitanensis polysaccharides was higher than in the northern one. This distinct difference will be of significance for further study of the physiological characters ofP. haitanensis. Contribution No. 1849 from the Institute of Oceanology, Academia Sinica.     

Observation of female gamete (Carpogonia) germination of Porphyra yezoensis and P. oligospermatangia

Several papers have reported that part or whole leafy thallus seemingly consisting of zygotospores can give rise to both blades and conchocelis in the same culture ofPorphyra. Study on samples of wild and cultivatedPorphyra yezoensis andP. oligospermatangia were conducted to clarify the origination of the young blades in the culture. It is confirmed that single cells on the blade of both species, which normally intermixed with zygotospores, germinated into young blades. TEM and SEM observation has shown that the single cells ofPorphyra yezoensis had typical features of female gamete (carpogonia) but archeospore. Therefore, the female gametes are responsible in developing leafy thalli. This project was sponsored by the NSFC (No. C-0205-05-39770593)     

紫菜纳豆菌发酵物中醇提物和多糖生物活性的初步研究

纳豆菌(Bacillus natto)发酵后的条斑紫菜经稀释、离心后上清液用一定浓度的乙醇处理获得醇沉物和醇溶液。将醇沉物去蛋白得到粗多糖,进行抗氧化活性的研究;将醇溶液旋转蒸发得到浸膏,将浸膏按极性大小分相萃取分别得到石油醚相、乙酸乙酯相和正丁醇相浸膏,探讨分相浸膏对金黄色葡萄球菌、枯草芽孢杆菌、四联微球菌的抑菌效果。通过测定多糖和分相浸膏对羟自由基(·OH)和DPPH自由基的清除能力评价其抗氧化能力。结果表明:醇溶物对金黄色葡萄球菌具有抑制作用,且随着浓度的升高各相浸膏对羟基自由基的清除率随之升高,其中,正丁醇相浸膏在质量浓度为0.5 mg/m L时对羟自由基的清除率达到91.6%,说明条斑紫菜经纳豆菌发酵可能产生了活性化合物;与对照组相比,利用纳豆菌发酵紫菜发酵物中多糖提取率增加了0.24%,发酵得到的多糖在质量浓度为5.0 mg/m L时对羟自由基的清除率达到了95.7%。     

条斑紫菜藻胆蛋白性质的研究Ⅲ.不同环境条件下R-藻红蛋白吸收光谱类型的转变

条斑紫菜的R-藻红蛋白在pH:5.8—8.4的几种缓冲液中保存,经过大约4个星期,其吸收光谱由原有的双峰型转变为三峰型;在pH=8.4的聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳后或在微量四甲基乙二胺作用下发生了同样的变化。但在变性剂SDS或尿素存在下,吸收光谱中540nm和565nm的峰强度比逐渐改变,直至565nm吸收峰消失,始终没有从双峰型转变为三峰型的迹象。显然,条斑紫菜R-藻红蛋白吸收光谱类型的转变不是变性引起的。

Induction Effect and Genetic Analysis of NG to Conchospores of Porphyra

The new spreading conchospores ot Porphyra yezoensis, P. haitanensis and P. katadai var. hemiphylla are induced by N-Methy-N‘-Nitro-N-Nitrosoguanidine (NG), a strong mutagen to induce the mutant of chromatophore. It is showed that (1) no mutants have been investigated in all control group. (2)The conchospores of all the three species of Porphyra are easy to be induced by NG for they are in the stage of breeding, In the lowest dose (10 μ g/mL) of this experiment, the mutant rate of P. yezoensis is up to 57.9%, that of P. haitanensis 30.7% and that of P. katadai var. hemiphylla 51.7%. (3)The mutant rate can not increase obviously by increasing the reagent concentration or prolonging the induction time. Within the scope of experiment, the inducement effects of three species of Porphyra ar e much similar, and the mutant rate is near 50%. The optimum induction concentration of NG is 10 μ g/mL, and the optimum induction time is 30 minutes.
