菲律宾蛤仔(Venerupis philippinarum)Rho型GST和微粒体型GST的序列分析及表达特征研究

谷胱甘肽硫转移酶是一类在细胞解毒和抗氧化过程中发挥重要作用的超家族酶系。采用cDNA末端快速扩增技术,从菲律宾蛤仔中克隆获得Rho型GST和微粒体型GST基因的全长序列(分别命名为VpGSTR和VpGSTMi)。序列分析显示,VpGSTR和VpGSTMi的cDNA全长分别为942bp和661bp,编码234和149个氨基酸。系统分析结果表明,菲律宾蛤仔GSTR与GSTMi在进化树上的位置与其分类所处的位置一致。荧光定量PCR结果发现,VpGSTR和VpGSTMi广泛分布于所检测组织中,且在肝胰腺组织中表达量最高。在鳗弧菌侵染后,VpGSTR和VpGSTMi基因表达量在24h内均表现出明显的上升趋势。上述结果表明,VpGSTR和VpGSTMi可能在菲律宾蛤仔抵御细菌侵染导致的氧化应激中发挥重要功能。     

山东沿海菲律宾蛤仔不同地理群体遗传多样性的AFLP分析

利用AFLP技术对山东沿海菲律宾蛤仔（Ruditapes philippinarum）4个野生群体（乳山、无棣、牟平、即墨）进行了遗传多样性分析。采用6对引物组合对4个群体进行扩增,共得到356个位点,乳山群体、无棣群体、牟平群体和即墨群体的多态位点比例依次为74.40%、70.50%、72.80%、74.70%,具有较高的遗传多样性水平。其中,即墨群体多态性比例最高,无棣群体多态性比例最低。聚类分析表明,各群体间的遗传距离在0.0263～0.0448之间,乳山群体和无棣群体间的遗传距离最近(0.0263),两群体首先聚在一起,随后与牟平群体和即墨群体聚在一起。     

Observations on shell growth and morphology of the bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum

The bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum is not only one of the main mollusc species in the west Pacific Ocean, but also one of the main species for aquaculture in China. Knowledge of growth of the R. philippinarum shell will improve our understanding of the shell as an environmental archive. It is also useful for the aquaculture of R. philippinarum. In this research, a hanging box culture method was introduced in the culture of R. philippinarum. The bivalves were cultured for 126 days, from March 31 to August 3, 2002. The average growth rates of shell width, height, and thickness were 0.069, 0.046, and 0.032 mm/d, respectively. The mean increase of average individual wet mass was 0.028 g/d. The largest growth rates of both shell and average individual wet mass occurred in June, indicating that water temperature and bivalve reproduction were 2 important factors. The shell morphology underwent significant changes with shell growth. The ratio of height to thickness (value of B/C) shifted 1.58 in the first 60 days to 1.54 in the last 30 days, which was resulted from the change in major shell growth direction. Periodic changes in the B/C ratio led to corrugated shell form, which could be used to determine the age of the shell.     

菲律宾蛤仔稚贝摄食、呼吸和排泄率的研究

本文利用实验生态学的方法研究了不同温度对菲律宾蛤仔稚贝的呼吸、排泄的影响以及在25℃下菲律宾蛤仔稚贝对4种单细胞藻类的滤食率．实验结果表明，温度对菲律宾蛤仔稚贝耗氧率、排氨率有显著影响，菲律宾蛤仔稚贝在12-32℃范围内，排氨率随温度的升高呈峰值变化，在26℃排氨率达到最大值然后开始下降，耗氧率随温度的升高而增大，耗氧率（OR）和温度（t）的回归方程为：OR=0．0155e^0.696t，R^2=0．9291．O：N也随着温度的升高而升高，菲律宾蛤仔稚贝呼吸Q10平均3．8，排泄Q10平均是1．88．菲律宾蛤仔稚贝在单位时问内（g／h）对4种藻类的滤食率高低依次为扁藻〉小球藻〉金藻〉角毛藻，差异极显著（P〈0．01）。     

Detailed Observation of Spatial Abundance of Clam Larva Ruditapes philippinarum in Tokyo Bay, Central Japan

The spatial distribution of the larval abundance of the clam Ruditapes philippinarum has been investigated at 65 stations throughout Tokyo Bay on August 2, 2001. The large number of small D-shaped larvae that were found shortly after hatching in the waters around the Banzu, Futtu, and Sanmaizu-Haneda areas indicates that spawning populations in these areas probably contribute greatly to the larval supply in the bay. Small larvae also occurred abundantly around the Yokohama and Ichihara port areas, suggesting that these port regions play a role in the transport of larvae into Tokyo Bay. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

菲律宾蛤仔血淋巴溶菌酶活性的研究

通过不同的反应条件对菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)血淋巴溶菌酶活力的影响实验,发现各反应条件与菲律宾蛤仔血淋巴溶菌活力密切相关:随着血淋巴添加量的增加,菲律宾蛤仔血淋巴溶菌活力逐渐升高,添加量在150~250μL之间时,两者呈现直线关系;溶菌活力随着温度和pH的升高呈峰值变化,分别在反应温度为50℃和pH为6.4时达到最大值,但统计分析显示pH在5.2~6.4之间时,溶菌活力差异不显著(P>0.05);溶菌活力随着反应时间的延长逐渐升高,当反应时间大于100 min后趋于稳定。这为探讨菲律宾蛤仔免疫力的不同变化提供基础性的数据。     

三种贝类的核型分析

采用体内注射PHA和秋水仙素的方法,利用成体的鳃组织,对毛蚶(Scapharca subcrenata)、长竹蛏(Solen strictus)和菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarus)的核型进行了研究.结果表明毛蚶的2倍体数目为2n=38,核型为18m+16sm+2st+2t,NF=72.长竹蛏的2倍体数目为2n=38,核型为30m+6sm+2t,NF=74.菲律宾蛤仔的2倍体数目为2n=38,核型为28m+10sm,NF=76.     

The influence of salinity on toxicological effects of arsenic in digestive gland of clam Ruditapes philippinarum using metabolomics

Ruditapes philippinarum,a clam that thrives in intertidal zones of various salinities,is a useful biomonitor to marine contaminants.We investigated the influence of dilution to 75% and 50% of normal seawater salinity(31.1) on the responses of the digestive gland of R.philippinarum to arsenic exposure(20 μg/L),using nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)-based metabolomics.After acute arsenic exposure for 48 h,salinity-dependent differential metabolic responses were detected.In normal seawater,arsenic exposure increased the concentrations of branched-chain amino acids,and of threonine,proline,phosphocholine and adenosine,and it decreased the levels of alanine,hypotaurine,glucose,glycogen and ATP in the digestive glands.Differential changes in metabolic biomarkers observed at lower salinity(～23.3) included elevation of succinate,taurine and ATP,and depletion of branched-chain amino acids,threonine and glutamine.Unique effects of arsenic at the lowest salinity(～15.6) included down-regulation of glutamate,succinate and ADP,and up-regulation of phosphocholine.We conclude that salinity influences the metabolic responses of this clam to arsenic.     

菲律宾蛤仔在高浓度锌铅水体中的金属积累

双壳类软体的菲律宾蛤仔在高浓度Ｚｎ、ＰＢ（１－９ｍｇ／ｄｍ＾２）实验水体中短期（９６ｈ）暂养。测定了菲律宾蛤仔锶和软体部（除鳃以外的软体部,下同）的Ｚｎ、Ｐｂ含量。单项金属积累实验结果表明,菲律宾蛤仔鳃和软体部Ｚｎ、Ｐｂ含量随实验水体中Ｚｎ、Ｐｂ离子浓度的增加而增加,但鳃对Ｚｎ、Ｐｂ的积累量总是软体部高。这与两各器官的生理特性相一致。鳃是呼吸器官,与水体接触最为频繁,血液流经量大;软体部含内脏和肌
