Raman microspectrometry, FT-IR and inclusion characteristics of gem garnets from Tanzania and Madagascar

Chemical composition, Raman microspectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-1R) and SEM-CL (Cathodluminescence) analyses are carried out for Tanzania and Madagascar garnets for locality identification. Inclusion study was sustained after electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Needle-like illmenites, apatites and zircons were the most common solid inclusions in Tanzania garnets. Madagascar garnets revealed rutile needles and apatites were also observed, but differences in size, shape and distribution patterns were noticed compared to Tanzania garnets. Tanzania garnets exhibited all types of observable fluid inclusions such as ““ fingerprint““ pattern, called Type Ⅰ-A, liquid-only (L) single phase fluid inclusion, called Type Ⅰ-B and Type Ⅱ-A ( L S), Type Ⅱ-B ( L V) and Type Ⅲ-A (L Sylvite even if all examined garnets from three localities retained ““fingerprint““ features, so called, partially healed fractures, in common. Chemical composition, Raman microspectrometry and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis taken turned out to be useful methods for the purpose of this study. Using consequences of SEM-CL and inclusion study, accordingly, the locality identification of gem-quality garnets is capable of being available in further application for other kinds of gemstones.     

Assessing the Germplasm of Laminaria （Phaeophyceae） with Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA （RAPD） Method

Eighteen gametophytes including L.japonica ,L.ochotensis and L.longissima,were verified with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique.Eighteen ten-base primers were chosen from 100 primers selected for final amplification test.Among the total of 205 bands amplified ,181(88.3%) were polymorphic ,The genetic distance among different strains ranged from 0.072 to 0.391,The dendrogram constructed by unweighted pair -group method with arithmetic(UPGMA) method showed that the female and male gamtophytes of the same cell lines could be grouped in pairs respectively,It indicated that RAPD analysis could be used not only to distin-gusih different strains of Laminariz ,but also to distinguish male and female gametophyte within the same cell lines,There is ambiguous systematic relationship if judged mereely by the present data It seems that the use of RAPD marker is limited to elucidstion of the phylogenetic relationship among the species of Laminaria.     

南海赤潮有毒甲藻链状-塔马亚历山大藻的分子鉴定

以核糖体rDNAITS为分子指标,采用RFLP及序列分析方法对南海海域Alexandrium catenella和Alexandrium tamarense进行分析和鉴定,并通过与日本海域不同海区A.tenella和A.tamarense的比较,得出A.catenella或A.tamarense的不同地理株的种内个体间ITS区序列非常相似,而种间序列则有显着差异,表明了ITS区用于不同海区A.catenella和A.tamarense种间鉴定是一个较稳定的指标.可看出,ITS区的研究从一个新的角度为海洋微藻种的界定提供了很好的依据.     

甲壳动物线粒体DNA的研究

对于甲壳动物的分子生物学研究特别是其中与进化相关的研究工作目前主要围绕着线粒体基因序列开展。在近20年的生物线粒体序列研究过程中线粒体全序列的数量经历了一个飞速发展的过程，但甲壳动物中仅有8个物种的线粒体全序列完成测序。通过对NCBI(National Center for Biotechnology Infomation)的GenBank中数据的分析我们发现线粒体基因序列的数量占全部序列数的近一半。甲壳动物线粒体序列的研究主要围绕着12s rRNA、16s rRNA和COI进行，国内的相关研究处于起步阶段。     

养殖牙鲆细菌性病原分离与鉴定

牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)是我国北方沿海地区的重要经济养殖品种，目前已形成工厂化生产规模。随着养殖密度的增加以及海水污染程度的日益严重，养殖牙鲆出现了各种疾病(曲凌云等，2000； Mo Zhaolan et al.，2001).造成了巨大的经济损失。 1999~2000年，山东省荣成、威海、青岛胶南及黄岛地区养殖牙鲆大面积发病，疾病发生时间多在每年的6~11月.病鱼多为3~10月龄。本文作者对以上牙鲆发病地区进行了临床病症的调查，并进行了病原的分离和初步鉴定。     

海筒螅中3种化学成分的分离鉴定

海筒螅（Tubuaria marina)的94%乙醇提取物，在水中混悬后，用石油醚萃取，石油醚相中的提取物经反复硅胶柱色谱分离和SephadexLH-20凝胶柱色谱分离，得到三个纯净的化合物。经^1HNMR,^13CNMR和DEPT谱鉴定，分别确定为二十一碳一烯，胆甾-5-烯-3β-醇和1-壬基-甘油醚。     

两株琼胶酶高产细菌的筛选和鉴定

从海洋环境中筛选得到两株琼胶酶的高产菌株，通过形态观察和生理生化反应，确定它们属于弧菌属，通过BIOLOG细菌鉴定系统鉴定，并同弧菌属标准菌株分析比较，确定上方宝剑两株菌都是塔式弧菌（Vibrio tubiashii)，这两株菌在碳源利用方面存在差别。     

褐牙鲆(♀)、夏鲆(♂)及其杂交子一代线粒体16S rDNA序列遗传特性的初步研究

以线粒体16S rRNA基因部分片段为代表研究雌褐牙鲆Paralichthys olivaceus、雄夏鲆P. dentatus及其杂交子一代间线粒体DNA的遗传特性。母本与父本序列差异较大,属种间差异,在590个位点中有28个变异位点,而且全部为简约信息位点。使用同一对引物扩增亲本与杂交子代,在杂交子代中未检测到父本的线粒体DNA类型,11个处于两种生长阶段的杂交样本仅检测到一种单倍型,而且与母本的一个单倍型为同一种,表明褐牙鲆与夏鲆杂交线粒体DNA遵循母系遗传规律。
