The effect of chlorine and chlorine dioxide on pathogenic free‐living amoebae (PFLA) in simulated natural conditions: The presence of bacteria and organic matter

Bacteria and bovine faecal matter were introduced into cultures of pathogenic free‐living amoebae, with chlorine or chlorine dioxide. The bacteria and faeces were to simulate natural conditions for a more exacting test of disinfectant demand when compared to axenic conditions. Both chlorine and chlorine dioxide were effective disinfectants under all conditions tested. Axenically and monoxenically cultured amoebae were used, the latter exerted a greater disinfectant demand.     

波吉卵囊藻对抗生素的敏感性及其无菌化培养

研究了青霉素、链霉素、庆大霉素和卡那霉素对波吉卵囊藻生长的影响,采用4种方法添加抗生素获得无菌藻株,比较波吉卵囊藻除菌前后的生长特点。结果表明:青霉素和链霉素浓度为1000IU/mL时,对波吉卵囊藻生长无明显影响;庆大霉素和卡那霉素浓度达500IU/mL时,对波吉卵囊藻生长无明显影响。微藻培养液中细菌对抗生素敏感性实验表明,除青霉素外,链霉素、庆大霉素和卡那霉素均对藻液中细菌有明显抑制作用。采用4种方法添加抗生素,均可获得无菌藻株。与未除菌时相比,无菌的波吉卵囊藻不易老化。

Explant exenisation for tissue culture in marine macroalgae

Unialgal explants fromLaminaria digitata, and from a variety of red algae, were obtained by hand removing the visible epiphytes, and stirring the tissue in the presence of glass beads. Two antibiotic mixtures were found to be efficient in removing the contaminating fungi and bacteria from the algae. The procedure proved suitable as a primary step in the tissue culture of the investigated species.     

Axenic culture of free-living conchocelis of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Porphyra yezoensis</Emphasis> and<Emphasis Type="Italic">Porphyra haitanensis</Emphasis>

After discarding marine microorganisms from conchocelis of Porphyra yezoensis and Porphyra ha/tanens/s, their axenic cultures were obtained through treatment with antibiotics. Antibiotic disc tests were carried out to determine the effectiveness of each antibiotic in eliminating contaminating microorganisms. Five of 12 antibiotics tested were selected and used to produce the axenic cultures in this study, which showed that 200 μg/mL streptomycin, 250 μg/mL penicillin, 252 μg/mL kanamycin, 30 μg/mL neomycin, 200 μg/mL chloramphenicol were effective concentrations for eliminating microorganisms from conchocelis when antibiotics were added singly step by step; whereas simultaneous combination of 150 μg/mL streptomycin, 250 (or 350) μg/mL penicillin, 150 (or 250) μg/mL kanamycin, 70 μg/mL neomycin and 200 μg/mL chloramphenicol was also effective for producing the axenic cultures. However,it seemed that the treatments with antibiotics applied individually were more feasible than those with all antibiotics added at the same time. This may be due to the combined inhibiting effect of antibiotics on the growth and development of conchocelis.     

Nitrate levels in subsurface waters of the Waimea Plain,Nelson

In 1969–72, nitrate determinations were made on waters from 122 wells on the Waimea Plain, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand. Four wells showed values above 30 mg NO3‐N/litre with a maximum of 50 mg/litre in one well, fifteen were in the 30–20 mg/litre range, forty‐six were between 20 mg and 10 mg/litre; fifty‐seven were below 10 mg/litre, and in only four wells was the nitrate concentration below 1.0 mg NO3‐N/litre. Where it entered the plain, the Wairoa River usually contained about 0.07 mg NO3‐N/litre, whereas the Waiiti River contained from 0.5 to 2.0 mg NO3‐N/litre.

Mapping of gradients of nitrate level indicated that these might contribute to aquifer definition and to sources of replenishing waters.     

海洋微藻培育系统抗弧菌作用机理

于1996年1－6月在中国科学院海洋研究所对微藻培育系统抗弧菌作用机理进行研究。结果表明，球等鞭金藻3011、三角褐指藻2038、扁藻1040及小球藻1061等4种饵料微藻中与藻共存细菌单菌株及群落均无限制弧菌生长作用；各培养时期除菌微藻3011不能限制弧菌生长；除菌微藻2038具有微弱限制弧菌生长能力，处于生长指数后期时作用相对较强，与藻共存细菌群落回加除菌微藻3011及2038，则恢复排斥弧菌能力，细菌先于弧菌加入时（如先加入3d)排斥能力显现较快，反之则较慢。另外还发现，除菌藻2038代谢产物（0．65μm 滤膜过滤获得）无限制弧菌生长能力，4种饵料微藻（自然藻－菌混和体）代谢产物（0．2及0．65μm滤膜过滤获得）无限制弧菌生长作用。因此，微藻培育系统抗弧菌机理可归结为：以微藻为基础的微小生物群落因优先占有生态空间而对弧菌菌群具有排它性。
