养殖牙鲆鳗弧菌疫苗的研究

以牙鲆病原性鳗弧菌M3为抗原,制备了细胞（CV）、细胞－胞外产物（CEV）、脂多糖（LPS）三种疫苗,通过浸泡和注射两种途径对牙鲆进行两次免疫,检测疫苗的免疫保护效果。免疫后4周可检测到免疫组牙鲆具有明显的凝集抗体效价,其中注射组效价显著高于浸泡组,而对照组变化不明显。与对照组相比,免疫组牙鲆获得良好的免疫保护力,其中注射免疫组高于浸泡组。在注射免疫途径中,以CEV的免疫保护效果最好;在浸泡免疫途径中,以CEV和LPS的免疫保护效果最好。结果表明鳗弧菌M3的细胞－胞外产物苗有显著的免疫保护作用。     

Ecotoxicological evaluation of sewage sludge using bioluminescent marine bacteria and rotifer

Bioassay using the marine bacteria,Vibrio fischeri and rotifer,Brachionus plicatilis, and chemical analyses were conducted to assess the toxicity of the various sewage sludges, one of the major ocean dumped materials in the Yellow Sea of Korea. Sludge elutriates extracted by filtered seawater were used to estimate the ecotoxicity of the sludge. Chemical characterization included the analyses of organic contents, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants in sludge. Bacterial bioluminescent inhibition (15 min), rotifer mortality (24 hr) and rotifer population growth inhibition (48 hr) assay were conducted to estimate the sludge toxicity. EC50 15 min (inhibition concentration of bioluminescence after 15 minutes exposed) values by Microtox® bioassay clearly revealed different toxicity levels depending on the sludge sources. Highest toxicity for the bacteria was found with the sludge extract from dyeing waste and followed by industrial waste, livestock waste, and leather processing waste. Clear toxic effects on the bacteria were not found in the sludge extract from filtration bed sludge and rural sewage sludge. Consistent with Microtox® results, rotifer neonate mortality and population growth inhibition test also showed highest toxicity in dyeing waste and low in filtration bed and rural sewage sludge. High concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals were measured in the samples from the industrial wastes, leather processing plant waste sludge, and urban sewage sludge. However, there was no significant correlation between pollutant concentration levels and the toxicity values of the sludge. This suggests that the ecotoxicity in addition to the chemical analyses of various sludge samples must be estimated before release of potential harmful waste in the natural environment as part of an ecological risk assessment.

鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)侵染对青蛤(Cyclina sinensis)髓样分化因子88基因表达的影响

经转录组测序后筛选并克隆得到青蛤(Cyclina sinensis)髓样分化因子88(myeloid differenttiation factor 88,My D88)的c DNA序列。在鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)胁迫下,采用荧光定量PCR法分析了My D88基因在青蛤体内的表达过程。结果显示,青蛤My D88基因的开放阅读框为1521bp,编码506个氨基酸,分子量约为57.14k Da,氨基酸N段存在DEATH结构域,C段存在TIR结构域(Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor domain)。My D88基因在青蛤血淋巴、肝脏、外套膜、鳃和闭壳肌等组织中普遍表达,但在血淋巴中表达量最高,与其它组织出现显著性差异(P0.05)。通过检测鳗弧菌刺激下My D88基因在青蛤血淋巴中的表达值,发现My D88基因在24h开始升高,48h达到最大值,约为对照组的10倍,实验组与对照组及空白组均出现了极显著性差异(P0.01);研究结果表明,该基因在软体动物的免疫应答反应中对革兰氏阴性菌有识别作用。     

Multiplex PCR allows simultaneous detection of pathogens in ships' ballast water

There is enormous potential for global transfer of microorganisms, including pathogens, in ships' ballast water. We contend that a major advancement in the study of ballast-water microorganisms in particular, and of aquatic pathogens in general, will be expedited sample analysis, such as provided by the elegant technology of DNA microarrays. In order to use DNA microarrays, however, one must establish the appropriate conditions to bind target sequences in samples to multiple probes on the microarrays. We conducted proof-of-concept experiments to optimize simultaneous detection of multiple microorganisms using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern hybridization. We chose three target organisms, all potentially found in ballast water: a calicivirus, the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, and the photosynthetic protist Aureococcus anophagefferens. Here, we show simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens is possible, a result supporting the promising future use of microarrays for simultaneous detection of pathogens in ballast water.

将抗高致病性副溶血弧菌(Vibrioparahaemolyticus)特异性卵黄抗体(AHPND-VpIgY)应用于育苗生产,通过测定氨氮、亚硝酸盐、细菌总数、弧菌总数、相对保护率和育苗成活率,评价了AHPND-VpIgY在育苗期对凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeusvannamei)幼体的保护效果。结果表明,0.1g/m3和0.2g/m3AHPND-VpIgY组的相对保护率为35.7%和57.2%,两者均显著高于非特异性卵黄抗体组(P0.05);两组的育苗成活率为50.8%和57.2%,比对照组分别提高19.1%和25.6%。各实验组氨氮、亚硝酸盐、细菌总数及弧菌总数与对照组无显著差异,对水质无影响。综上,特异性的AHPND-VpIgY能在不改变水质的前提下,有效提高凡纳滨对虾幼体的存活率、相对保护率和育苗成活率,从而提高凡纳滨对虾苗种产量和质量。     

一株副溶血弧菌D3112致病性和抗药性的表征

副溶血弧菌广泛分布于海洋环境中,虽然大多数环境菌株并非致病菌,但它们常常携有毒力基因,从而具有潜在的致病性。本文从黄海(山东青岛)海水中分离到一株副溶血弧菌D3112,对其进行了全基因组测序、溶血实验和人工感染实验等。基因组测序分析发现D3112并不含有副溶血弧菌的致病性标志溶血素基因tdh和trh,这与PCR检测结果一致,但含有其他溶血素基因以及多种毒力相关基因。生物学实验显示,该菌可产生明显的溶血现象,而且具有蛋白酶、明胶酶、脂酶和淀粉酶活性,但是缺少卵磷脂酶活性。人工感染实验表明副溶血弧菌D3112具有致病性,感染斑马鱼的半致死剂量约为5×105CFU。药物敏感实验证明了D3112具有多重耐药性。本文对海洋环境中的副溶血弧菌D3112同时开展了基因型和表型研究,为准确评价环境细菌的潜在致病性提供了有用的数据信息。     

灿烂弧菌粘附相关因子VsA的表达及功能研究

为了探究灿烂弧菌中 Zn2+转运系统的细胞周质组分 VsA 的表达与功能,本实验采用 PCR 克隆 vsA 基因,实时荧光定量测定 vsA 基因的表达,利用抗体封闭实验研究 VsA 蛋白的功能。生物信息学分析表明 VsA 具有结合和转运 Zn2+的结构基础。实时荧光定量结果表明,vsA 的表达受 Zn2+调控,且具有浓度依赖性,0.01 mmol/L 的 Zn2+可使 vsA 的表达量下调至对照组的0.5倍,而添加等摩尔量的 Cu2+、Fe3+、Mg2+和 Ca2+对 vsA 的表达无明显影响。而 0.1 滋mol/L Zn2+则会诱导 vsA 的表达。此外,在大肠杆菌 Escherichia coli BL21 （DE3） 中进行了 VsA 的重组表达,制备了 VsA 的小鼠多克隆抗体。利用抗体封闭 VsA 蛋白可导致灿烂弧菌在 Zn2+限制条件下的生长受抑制,以及过氧化氢的能力和粘附效率的降低。本研究获得了灿烂弧菌的 vsA 基因,其表达受 Zn2+浓度调控,VsA 蛋白在灿烂弧菌生长、抗氧化以及粘附宿主细胞过程中发挥作用。     

Molecular analyses of bacterioplankton communities with highly abundant Vibrio clades: a case study in Bohai Sea coastal waters

We investigated the bacterioplankton abundance, community composition and the associated Vibrio clades of natural seawater in Bohai Sea coastal waters. Seawater samples (10 L in triplicate) were collected at 0.5, 3, and 5 m depths near the coastal aquaculture zone of the Bohai Sea on May 12, 2016. Real-time PCR and 16S rRNA gene amplicon high-throughput sequencing methods were employed by which 485 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at a 97% sequence similarity level were generated. Gammaproteobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were the most abundant groups, accounting for 49.5%, 23.5%, and 18.9% of the total assemblage, respectively. Obvious variations in Pseudoalteromonas, Vibrio, and Octadecabacter , which were the most abundant genera, could be observed among diff erent samples. Notably, the results of Vibrio -specifi c real-time PCR indicated that Vibrio had extremely high 16S rRNA gene copy numbers. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing results across all the samples also indicated that they occupied a large proportion of the total assemblage. Both the alpha diversity and major bacterioplankton group Pseudoalteromonas had significant correlations with the concentration of PO4^3-. Overall, studies on bacterioplankton communities with highly abundant Vibrio clades can provide interesting insight into the microbial function and health assessment of the Bohai Sea coastal ecosystem.     

大黄鱼(Larimichthys crocea)白细胞介素10(IL-10)基因克隆及溶藻弧菌(Vibrio alginolyticus)侵染后表达变化分析

白细胞介素10(interleukin10,IL-10)是鱼类先天性免疫因子之一,在炎症反应和免疫调节中有着重要作用。本研究获得大黄鱼(Larimichthys crocea)IL-10基因cDNA序列,由899个核苷酸组成,含1个555bp的开放阅读框、编码184个氨基酸,预测编码蛋白分子量为21.24kDa、N端有22个氨基酸组成的信号肽序列。氨基酸序列多重比对表明大黄鱼IL-10具有IL-10家族特征性序列和构成2对二硫键的4个保守性半胱氨酸,与欧洲鲈(Dicentrarchuslabrax)IL-10序列相似性最高(78.5%);系统进化树分析显示大黄鱼IL-10和其他鱼类IL-10形成一个大簇,与欧洲鲈进化关系最近。荧光定量PCR(quantitative real-time PCR, qRT-PCR)检测结果显示健康大黄鱼IL-10基因在鳃和肠中高表达,肝和头肾中低表达;溶藻弧菌(Vibrio alginolyticus)侵染后大黄鱼肠、脑、脾、肝和头肾中IL-10基因表达量均显著上调(P0.05),其中头肾和肝中上调幅度最大(分别为菌侵染前的10.06倍和8.79倍)。综上,大黄鱼IL-10基因表达与病原菌感染密切相关,为深入研究大黄鱼IL-10的生物学功能及免疫机制提供了基础资料。
