温度和盐度对两种海洋桡足类动物摄食和代谢的影响

本研究在实验室模拟生态条件下,以两种常见的海洋桡足类动物为受试生物,着重研究了温度和盐度变化对火腿许水蚤(Schmackeria poplesia)和拟长腹剑水蚤(Oithona similis)的滤水率、摄食率、耗氧率和排氨率的影响,统筹分析了两种海洋桡足类响应温度和盐度变化的摄食与代谢策略,以期为两种海洋桡足类的室内培养提供理论支持和技术指导。结果发现:(1)在5—30°C的温度范围内两种桡足类动物的摄食与代谢均呈现随温度升高而先升高后降低的变化趋势,其中火腿许水蚤的摄食率、滤水率、耗氧率和排氨率的最大值均出现在15°C,而拟长腹剑水蚤则在25°C到达峰值,说明拟长腹剑水蚤对温度具有较高的耐受性。(2)当暴露于不同盐度(15—35)时,火腿许水蚤可在低盐度(25)条件下保持较高的摄食能力,且当盐度为25时其摄食率、滤水率达到峰值,之后便显著下降;拟长腹剑水蚤则在盐度为30时开始下降。前者的代谢能力在盐度为25时开始下降,后者在高盐度(35)时代谢能力依然有回升的趋势,说明拟长腹剑水蚤对盐度的耐受性更强。而火腿许水蚤及拟长腹剑水蚤对低盐度(20—25)有一定的偏好,二者通过强化自身代谢以抵消低盐度引起的渗透压变化对自身的影响。(3)基于氧氮比(O/N)变化的代谢作用分析显示:在整个温度梯度(10—25°C)中火腿许水蚤的氧氮比波动较大,而拟长腹剑水蚤除在高温(35°C)条件下,其氧氮比均低于24。盐度则会抑制火腿许水蚤的摄食能力从而迫使其分解体内储能物质(O/N24),而对盐度耐受性较好的拟长腹剑水蚤则可始终维持较高的摄食和代谢能力(O/N24)。因此拟长腹剑水蚤能在较大的温、盐度范围内保持稳定的氨氮代谢水平,具有更高的环境耐受性。     

杂交鲷和黑鲷幼鱼的代谢率及排泄率比较

杂交鲷是以真鲷为母本,黑鲷为父本的杂交F1代品种,为了比较杂交鲷与黑鲷的代谢特征,采用静水密闭式呼吸仪测定了13、18、23、28、33℃（32℃）5个温度下杂交鲷和黑鲷幼鱼的代谢率及排泄率.结果表明：13~28℃温度下,杂交鲷和黑鲷幼鱼的代谢率、排泄率均随温度的升高而升高,28℃时杂交鲷和黑鲷幼鱼的代谢率、排泄率分别为14.22±0.95、0.39±0.02 J/（g.h）和17.47±0.14、0.43±0.02 J/（.gh）,分别是其13℃时的5.69、4.05倍和4.01、3.73倍;且各温度下黑鲷的代谢率始终高于杂交鲷,前者是后者的1.23~1.73倍;杂交鲷和黑鲷幼鱼分别在32℃和33℃时代谢率比28℃下跌了22.23%和3.83%,证明该温度已分别超出了这2种幼鱼的最高适温;杂交鲷和黑鲷幼鱼28℃时的窒息点溶解氧含量分别为1.94、1.40 mg/dm3,低于真鲷21℃时的窒息点溶解氧含量（2.30 mg/dm3）;O∶N原子比值结果显示,28℃时蛋白质供能比最低,生长积累速度最快,是2种幼鱼的最适温度.综合分析认为,杂交鲷幼鱼具有代谢率显著低于亲本的优点,也继承了父本耐低温的特点,但同时失去了亲本耐高温、耐低氧的特点,并出现了应激反应大等不良性状.     

文昌鱼嘌呤代谢酶基因:结构与演化

嘌呤代谢是动物含氮废物排出体外的重要途径之一.嘌呤代谢终产物在不同动物各不相同.这是由于进化过程中,参与代谢1种或多种酶基因或者酶活性的丢失所致.本文从JGI网站佛罗里达文昌鱼基因组数据库中搜索文昌鱼参与嘌呤代谢主要5种酶(黄嘌呤脱氢酶、尿酸酶、尿囊素酶、尿囊酸酶、尿素酶)的基因,并且将它们与其他12种具有代表性且基因组序列已知的动物包括人、小鼠、狗、鸡、爪蟾、河豚、斑马鱼、海鞘、海胆、果蝇、线虫、海葵的基因结构进行比较.结果发现文昌鱼参与嘌呤代谢的酶基因有的和脊椎动物基因相似(黄嘌呤脱氢酶和尿酸酶),有的和脊椎动物与无脊椎动物的基因都不相似(尿囊酸酶),还有的和无脊椎动物海胆与海葵基因外显子个数与内含子相位都相似但外显子之间缺乏对应关系(尿素酶).所有这些都支持文昌鱼代表脊椎动物始祖代表类型,同时兼具特化特征的观点.尿素酶基因存在于水生无脊椎动物中,而在陆生的果蝇和线虫中均未发现尿素酶基因,因而我们推测随着动物由水生向陆生进化,参与尿素分解的尿素酶基因可能在陆生动物中完全丢失.     

Thermal constraints on glycolytic metabolism in the New Zealand abalone,Haliotis iris: the role of tauropine dehydrogenase

Black‐foot abalone, Haliotis iris, were sampled from two populations in warm northern waters, and from two in colder southern waters. Abalone muscle is characterised by high activity of the glycolytic pyruvate reductase enzyme, tauropine dehydrogenase (TDH). Adductor muscle TDH was profiled for thermostability and activity to test the hypothesis that the enzyme may show adaptation in titre or kinetic characteristics reflecting thermal habitat. Temperature dependency of the apparent Michaelis‐Menten constant of TDH for pyruvate (_appKm_pyr) suggested eurythermal enzyme behaviour below 20°C, and compromised function at the higher temperatures of northern populations occurring in the summer months. Thermostability profiles and enzyme activities suggest TDH expression does not differ significantly among populations (P > 0.05), indicating that this locus shows no compensation for temperature. The optimal temperature for efficient TDH function, estimated from V_max./_appKm_pyr, is close to 20°C. The possible thermal constraints on glycolytic metabolism in H. iris are discussed.     

饲料中维生素B6对皱纹盘鲍幼鲍蛋白质代谢的影响

以皱纹盘鲍(Haliotis discus hannaiIno)幼鲍为研究对象,探讨维生素B6对其蛋白质代谢的影响。设计了3种维生素B6不同含量(0,40,4 000 mg/kg)的半精制饲料,在循环水养殖系统中养殖幼鲍240 d。结果表明,皱纹盘鲍内脏团和肌肉中磷酸吡哆醛(PLP)的含量随饲料中维生素B6的添加而显著升高(P<0.05)。饲料中不同维生素B6水平对肌肉组织中蛋白含量没有显著影响(P>0.05),而显著升高内脏团中蛋白质的含量(P<0.05)。内脏团和肌肉中的谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和谷草转氨酶(AST)活力随着饲料中维生素B6添加量的升高而显著增强,分别在维生素B6的添加量为4 000 mg/kg时取得最大值(P<0.05)。内脏团中所检测的各种氨基酸的含量与饲料中维生素B6添加量没有显著影响(P>0.05)。然而,肌肉中的天冬氨酸(Asp)、苏氨酸(Thr)、丝氨酸(Ser)、牛磺酸(Tau)的含量随着饲料中维生素B6添加量的升高而显著增加,并且分别在维生素B6添加量为4 000 mg/kg时取得最大值(P<0.05)。肌肉中甘氨酸(Gly)、丙氨酸(Ala)、缬氨酸(Val)、蛋氨酸(Met)的含量在两个维生素B6添加组(40 mg/kg和4 000 mg/kg)之间没有显著差异(P>0.05),但均显著高于维生素B6缺乏组(0 mg/kg)的值(P<0.05)。     

Effects of waterborne nitrite onphase I–II biotransformation in channel catfish(Ictalurus punctatus)

The effects of waterborne nitrite (3 mg/l NO₂) on channel catfish were studied to evaluate changes in hematological parameters and phase I–II biotransformation in liver slices. Nitrite-exposed fish had significantly higher methemoglobin, blood and liver nitrite, and significantly lower pO₂ than control fish. Total phase I-mediated metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin (EC) was not altered in nitrite-exposed fish compared with control fish (291±43 and 312±20 pmol/mg/h, respectively). However, phase II glucuronosyltransferase-mediated metabolism of 7-hydroxycoumarin (HC), both as a phase I metabolite of EC and as a parent substrate, was elevated in nitrite-exposed fish (204±17 and 1007±103 pmol/mg/h, respectively) as compared to control fish (149±14 and 735±87 pmol/mg/h) (P<0.05). Sulfotransferase-mediated metabolism of HC (as a metabolite of EC and as a parent substrate) was not notably altered in nitrite-exposed fish (95±16 and 617±33 pmol/mg protein/h, respectively) as compared with control fish (118±24 and 575±55 pmol/mg/h, respectively). These studies indicate that in vivo nitrite exposure and associated changes in hematological parameters do not appear to affect hepatic phase I EC biotransformation in channel catfish. However, subtle but significant changes in phase II glucuronidation, but not sulfation activity, were observed. The mechanism of these alterations is unclear. However, the data suggest that environmentally realistic concentrations of nitrite may affect the dynamics of conjugative metabolism in exposed fish.     

饲料蛋白质水平对大黄鱼体内蛋白质的沉积和代谢反应的影响

进行9周的养殖实验,比较分析饲料蛋白质水平对3个不同生长阶段大黄鱼体内蛋白质沉积和代谢反应相关指标的影响。实验用大黄鱼分为3种规格,分别是小规格鱼(SF,初始体重:(12.80±0.08)g)、中规格鱼(MF,初始体重:(137.90±0.81)g)和大规格鱼(LF,初始体重:(194.10±2.37)g)。饲料中的7个蛋白质梯度设置为30.4%,34.2%,38.5%,42.2%,46.0%,50.3%和54.3%。结果表明,随着饲料蛋白质水平的上升,SF的蛋白质含量和氮保留率显著升高(P0.05),而MF和LF的全鱼蛋白质含量(BP)和氮保留率(NR)未见显著变化(P0.05)。从不同生长阶段来看,氮保留率MF显著低于SF和LF(P0.05)。3个生长阶段,大黄鱼肝脏中的谷草转氨酶(AST)和谷丙转氨酶(ALT)活性,以及血清中的血氨、尿素氮和总氨基酸含量均随着饲料蛋白质水平的上升而显著升高(P0.05)。从不同生长阶段来看,血氨含量MF显著高于SF和LF(P0.05)。研究表明,大黄鱼体内蛋白质沉积和氨基酸代谢随饲料蛋白质水平的上升而增强,大黄鱼的氮保留能力MF阶段低于SF和LF阶段。     

不同类型糖源对大菱鲆脂肪代谢酶活性和脂肪酸组成的影响

以初始体质量(8.77±0.16)g的大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)幼鱼为研究对象,在室内流水系统中进行9周的养殖实验,比较分析饲料中3种不同类型的糖源(葡萄糖、蔗糖和糊精)对大菱鲆脂肪代谢相关酶活性和肌肉脂肪酸组成的影响。结果表明,不同类型的糖源显著影响肝脏中与脂肪合成相关的葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)和苹果酸酶(ME)的活性(P0.05)。饲料糖源为葡萄糖时,大菱鲆肝脏中G6PD和ME的活性显著高于其他处理组,而蔗糖和糊精处理组之间没有显著差异。对与脂肪分解代谢相关酶的活性分析表明,肠道脂肪酶的活性受饲料中不同糖源的影响显著(P0.05);肝脏脂蛋白脂酶的活性在糖源为葡萄糖时显著低于其他处理组(P0.05);不同糖源对肝脂酶的活性无显著影响(P0.05);糊精组的总脂酶活性显著高于葡萄糖组(P0.05)。葡萄糖组大菱鲆肌肉中的C16∶0和C18∶0的含量显著高于糊精组,而C16∶1和C18∶1n-9的含量显著低于糊精组(P0.05)。研究表明,饲料中不同类型的糖源对大菱鲆肌肉脂肪酸的影响集中在饱和脂肪酸和单不饱和脂肪酸上,而对多不饱和脂肪酸的影响有限。     

Modeling and Validating Long‐Term Dynamics of Diel Dissolved Oxygen with Particular Reference to pH in a Temperate Shallow Lake (Turkey)

Long‐term monitoring of changes in dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH is of great importance to quantifying aquatic ecosystem metabolism, particularly for lakes under the changing global environment. During 173 days, diel DO cycles were measured in situ along with the main driving variables of pH, wind speed (WS), and net solar radiation (Rn) in a temperate shallow lake. Best‐fit multiple non‐linear regression (MNLR) models of diel DO time series were built and validated on a monthly basis, with R² values ranging from 42.4% in September to 95.4% in November for validation. The strong relationship between diel DO and pH (r = 0.6) appeared to be related to the patterns of ecosystem productivity and respiration, and sensitivity of decomposing bacteria to changes in pH. pH‐driven lake metabolism appears to have significant implications for diel and seasonal lake metabolism in a changing global environment.
