黑潮源区沉积物古菌多样性调查及研究

为了研究西太平洋黑潮源区不同深度沉积物中古菌群落结构的多样性,应用16S rDNA文库技术,对IMAGES XIV航次采集的岩芯MD06-3047进行基因文库的构建和分析,得到260个克隆,经分析处理后得到56个OTUs(Operational Taxonomic Units).基于16S rRNA序列的同源性比较,绘制系统进化树,进行统计学分析.研究结果显示,西太平洋黑潮源区的本哈姆高原(Benham Rise)沉积物中有丰富多样的古菌群落,在1m内的沉积物中分布着9种古菌类群.古菌序列归属于泉古菌(Crenarchaeota)和广古菌(Euryarchaeota),并以泉古菌为主(占总序列的91.5％).其中,泉古菌包含MGI、MBG-B、MCG和UCII-b 4个类群,并且主要由MGI构成(占总序列的40.8％),而广古菌包含MBG-D、SAGMEG、DHVEG、MBG-E和VAL Ⅲ 5个类群,各类群所占总序列比例均较低(占总序列的0.4％～5.4％之间).研究结果对于理解西太平洋黑潮源区沉积物中古菌多样性有重要意义,并为今后研究古菌群落与环境之间的关系提供科学依据.

Isolation, cloning and sequencing of AFLP markers related to disease-resistance traits in Fenneropenaeus chinensis

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was used to analyze the fingerprinting of four successive generations ofFenneropenaeus chinensis to reveal their disease-resistance traits. Some loci showed quite different genetic frequencies due to artificial selection, which implied that these fragments were putative markers related to the disease-resistance trait. We developed a simple and effective method to further characterize these AFLP fragments. Specific AFLP bands were cut directly from polyacrylamide gels, re-amplified, cloned and sequenced. Eight putative genetic markers were sequenced and their sizes ranged from 63 to 209 bp. The sequences were submitted to dbGSS (database of Genome Sequence Survey); and the BLAST analysis showed low similarity to the function genes, indicating these markers were tightly linked to a disease-resistance trait but were not functional genes.

Study on gametophyte vegetative growth ofUndaria pinnatifida and its applications

When cultured under certain environmental conditions (25°C, light intensity 80 μmol/m²·s, LD 12/12, in enriched seawater medium with 7×10⁻⁴ mol/L NO₃−N, 1.56×10⁻⁴ mol/L, PO₄−P and supplements of other elements like Mn, Fe, I, etc.), male and female gametophytes ofU. pinnatifida kept growing vegetatively and propagated fast at average daily fresh weight increase rate of about 20%. The empirical formulaG _m=G _o·3^m was established to estimate the output of vegetative gametophytes. Vigorous vegetative gametophyte cells began to form reproductive structures (oogonium and spermatangium, when the temperature was lower than 25°C and other environmental factors were kept optimal. The sufficient supply of gametophyte cells provided enough seeds for raisingUndaria sporelings on production scale. Controlled cross-breeding experiments using selected male and female gametophyte clones which increase their cell number by mitosis instead of meiosis were also carried out in vitro. Juvenile sporophytes from the cross-breeding had almost the same length and width increase rates as those of the control. The fact that vegetative gametophytes can be purposely selected, propagated quickly, cross-bred, with the resulting sporophytes having almost the same characteristics leads to a new way to select desiredUndaria strains for long time use without losing the desired economic characteristics.

Complementary (secondary) metabolites in a soft coral: sex-specific variability, inter-clonal variability, and competition

Sex‐specific interactions involving competition for space between the dioecious alcyonacean soft coral Sarcophyton glaucum and the scleractinian coral Acropora robusta were assessed experimentally on Bald Rock, central region of the Great Barrier Reef. To examine this, plus inter‐clonal responses, one male colony of S. glaucum, known to produce sarcophytoxide as its predominant complementary (secondary) metabolite, was sectioned, producing 10 clones. The same was done for a female colony. These two sets of clones were then relocated to grids and placed in contact with Acropora clones. Relocated and non‐relocated controls were also monitored. High levels of tissue necrosis were observed in the hard coral under contact conditions with both the male and female clones after 20 days. The development of a protective polysaccharide layer in the alcyonacean was also observed. Differences observed in the concentrations of complementary metabolites within the two different S. glaucum colonies were related to sex. Both under competition and non‐competition conditions, females exhibited significantly higher concentrations of sarcophytoxide than males, and this increased with time. Fatty ester concentration was also higher in females than males, varying significantly through time, and falling dramatically just after spawning. Fatty ester concentrations decreased linearly through time in the male clones. When involved in competition for space, females possessed higher concentrations of fatty esters than males, both at the site of contact and in non‐contact sites, again, decreasing after spawning. No significant changes in sarcophytoxide levels were noted in the parental colonies, but such changes were observed in fatty esters, with the female producing higher concentrations until after spawning. The use of these two variates in the form of a ratio (sarcophytoxide concentration:fatty ester concentration) yielded a variable Rho (ρ) which was a more sensitive indicator of biochemical change than either of its components alone. These two sets of compounds appeared to have a negative association through time and varied highly significantly between sexes. The diterpene sarcophytoxide may be considered an allelopathic or stress metabolite, while the lipids act as energy storage metabolites.     

节能型海带育苗新技术——黑暗流水储存配子体

目前采用的海带苗培育方法已经有50多年的历史,它将21~28℃的自然海水降温至6~8℃用于育苗。缺点是海水降温成本高、管理需要人工多。而本技术在育苗过程中的一定时期,将苗帘集中堆放,在流水黑暗条件下储存配子体14 d,储存期间无需人工管理。以此配子体储存技术,可以将海带育苗平均水温从目前的7℃左右提高到10℃左右。
