七株眼虫基于微卫星DNA指纹图谱的区分和关系分析

尽管以前对眼虫进行过大量的形态发育研究和基于核糖体RNA基因的系统发育分析,但对于株系之间的关系仍然知之甚少．因其形态特征有限并且易变,很难鉴定眼虫的相似种和同种内不同的株．作者利用微卫星DNA指纹图谱,在七株眼虫中扩增了七个微卫星DNA位点,成功扩增的六个微卫星引物都得到了四到八个条带．从微卫星DNA指纹图谱计算得到的相似性系数范围从0．000到0．957．根据相似性系数得到的树状结构,七株眼虫在距离为0．9346处分为三支:E．mutabilis,E．intermedia和E．gracilis．其中,

A survey of the gomphonemaceae and cymbellaceae (Bacillariophyta) from the Jolmolungma Mountain (Everest) region of China

Gomphonemaceae and Cymbellaceae from Jolmolungma Mountain region of China, comprised 79 taxa belonging to five genera. The dominant species were Gomphonema angustatum var. productum, G. gracile var. gracile, G. parvulum var. parvulum, G. hedini, Cymbella aequalis var. pisciculus, C. delicatula, C. cistula, C. cistula var. hebetata, C. cesatii, C. cymbiformis, C microcephala, C. minuta var. minuta., C. minuta var. silesiaca, C. pusilla, C. affinis. Some arctic and alpine forms also occurred, and the following taxa were unique to this region: Cymbella delicatula, C. naviculiformis, C. gracilis, C. minuta var. minuta, C. affinis, C. cistula, C. cymbiformis, C. cistula var. hebetata, C. arctica, Didymosphenia geminata, Gomphonema hedinii, G. olivaceum. Numbers of taxa in each samples varied greatly, It appears that species diversity of diatoms is related not only to macro-environments (e.g., geographic zonation) but also to microenvironments (e.g., microhabitats and microclimates). Cymbella spp. are not only comparatively widespread in the region but also outnumber Gomphonema spp. A large number of species found in the Jolmolungma Mountain region are also found in Tibet and the headwaters of Yangtze River.

Cymbellaceae and Gomphonemataceae (Bacillariophyta) from the Hengduan Mountains region (southwestern China)

We present a species list of the Gomphonemataceae and Cymbellaceae occurring in the Hengduan Mountains re-ion. These two families were found to be presented in the area by 117 species, varieties and forms belonging to four genera (Amphora, Cymbella, Didymosphenia and Gomphonema). Size, striae density, habitat and distribution in China are given for each taxon. The common taxa were Cymbella aequalis var. piscicultis. C. affinis, C. cesatii, C. cistula var. gibbosa, C. delicatula. C. gracilis, C. hustedtii, C. minuta f. latens, C. minita var. silesiaca, C. naviculiformis, C. parva. C. turgidida, Gomphonema acuminatum var. acuminatum, G. gracile, G. intricatum, G. olivaceum. G. parvulum and G. truncatum var. capitatum. Some morphological features of Cymbella cistula var. capitata, Cymbella sinica var. miyiensis, Gomphonema hedinii and G. kaznakowii were found to differ from previously published descriptions. Taxa typical of high latitude climates encountered during the present study were Cymbella affinis, C. alpina, C. cistula var. cistida, C. delicatula. C. naviculiformis.

几类处在关键进化地位藻类的TIM基因和糖酵解途径的研究

糖酵解作为细胞的重要的基本代谢途径广泛存在于各类生物中。但参与该途径的tim基因／酶和整个途径在细胞中的区室定位情况在一些处在关键进化地位的藻类中还存在许多未知或争议。本文首先对参与该途径的一个重要酶――磷酸丙糖异构酶（TIM）在两种不同营养方式的眼虫上进行了鉴定和序列结构分析，并结合了包括绿藻、红藻和动基体类等在内的其它生物的数据进行了分子系统分析；其次，对该途径在绿藻类的衣藻细胞中的区室定位情况进行了研究，并对该特殊的区室定位途径的进化进行了探讨。得到了如下结果和结论： 1）通过3’与5’-RACE实验，在光合型眼虫Euglena gracilis和Euglena intermedia和腐生型眼虫Astasia longa中各获得了一长一短两个TIM的全长cDNA序列，同时通过基因组DNA-PCR和序列搜索，还获得了两种绿藻和红藻的tim基因序列。前导序列分析显示眼虫的两个cDNA分别编码定位到胞质的cTIM和定位到叶绿体的cpTIM或质体的pTIM。腐生眼虫A. longa的pTIM与光合型眼虫E. gracilis的cpTIM高度相似，其前导序列也具有眼虫典型的核编码叶绿体蛋白质的典型特征；两类不同营养型眼虫的成熟TIM间的同源性达91.6％，并且具有其它TIM所共有的活性中心氨基酸和保守的序列motifs。这表明A. longa的pTIM确实是定位于质体、具有生物活性的cpTIM的同工酶，并提示A. longa的质体还具有与TIM相关的代谢功能（例如脂肪酸的合成），而不仅仅是一个叶绿体的“残迹”。 TIM的序列比对和分子系统分析结果显示：眼虫类和红藻类的TIM共有一个由两个氨基酸组成的插入；更重要的是，眼虫类TIM既没有与被认为与它共祖的动基体类的TIM聚在一起，又没有与被认为为其提供叶绿体（经二次内共生）的绿藻的TIM聚在一起，而是与红藻TIM聚为一枝。这提示眼虫与红藻间在进化历史上可能曾经有过基因交流。 2）采用生物信息学手段结合分子生物学实验，对衣藻基因组和转录组中参与糖酵解相关基因／酶进行了鉴定、定位预测和表达水平分析，结果表明：与其它极大多数的真核生物不同，衣藻细胞质中不具有完整的糖酵解途径，尽管该途径的后三步主要发生在胞质中，但前七步则是发生在叶绿体中的。 分子系统分析表明衣藻叶绿体中参与前6步和细胞质中参与最后2步的糖酵解酶都是胞质型起源，其中参与第4步的FBA更像是由很早时期的胞质型基因重复而来的；而第7步的PGK是由内共生形成叶绿体的蓝细菌的水平基因转移而来。这表明衣藻胞质中所缺少的糖酵解酶是一种次生性丢失的结果，而非原始的特征；其叶绿体中的糖酵解步骤应该是由于原有胞质型糖酵解酶的基因重复之后重新定位或者直接重新定位到叶绿体中，以及内共生产生叶绿体时由蓝细菌的水平基因转移所致。

中国裂叶苔科植物的研究-分类、区系和生态

裂叶苔科（Lophoziaceae）是叶苔目植物中的一个大科，其植物体形态变化较大，分类较为困难。中国在裂计佩一苔科下已记录的植物有23属、106种、2变种和2变形。本论文在大量文献考证和对国内外3000余份标本深入研究基础上，对中国裂仆佩一苔科进行了较系统全面的分类修订，记录了中国裂价卜苔科植物共有11属45种3变种1变形，提供了种属形态特征描述和41幅图版。发现中国新记录2种1变型：异瓣裂叶苔（Lophozia diversiloba Hatt），毛口挺叶苔（Anastrophyllum piligerm (Nees.) Steph.）和密叶三瓣苔小叶变形（Tritomaria quinquedentata fo. gracilis (Jens.) Schust.）；新组合名1个：小挺叶苔尖变种（Anastrophyllum minutum (Schreb. in Cranz.) Schust var. acuminatum (Horik.) Cao & Sun comb. nov.），还有省区新分布记录16个。采用聚类分析方法分析了裂叶苔科种属间的关系，结果支持广义裂汗卜苔属和挺口一卜苔属的概念。 区系成分的分析研究表明：中国裂计佩一苔科植物的地理成分主要以泛北极分布类型为主，占79.6%.东北地区、秦岭地区、西南地区和台湾省为我国裂p_佩一苔科植物种类最丰富的地区。在国内首次开展了苔类专科的生态学研究，并采用CCA方法对结果进行分析。研究表明：裂叶苔科植物在长白山分布上表现出明显的垂直地带性，可分为三类：（1)分布在2000米以上苔原带的种类，主要有小挺叶苔A. minutum、石生挺叶苔A. saxicola、密叶三瓣苔T. quinquedentata、高山裂叶苔L. sudetica，圆叶裂叶L. wenzelii；（2）分布在1730米到2000米苔岳桦林带的种类，主要有：方叶无褶苔L. bantriensis，细裂瓣苔B. barbata，阔瓣裂叶苔L. excisa；（3）分布在1150-1730米以下暗针叶林的种类，主要有：三瓣苔T. exsecta，多角胞三瓣苔T. exsectiformis、囊苞裂叶苔L. ventricosa，秃瓣裂叶苔L. obtusa和倾立裂叶苔L. ascendens。影响裂叶苔科植物分布的主要坏境因子是海拔高度。 对处于不同纬度三个地区的同种裂叶苔科植物的比较分析说明：随纬度的升高其分布的海拔高度逐步降低。

Onshore-offshore variations of copepod community in northern South China Sea

Copepod communities in onshore and offshore waters show a gradient from primarily near shore to primarily oceanic species. Understanding the transition between these communities is fundamental to determining the range of coastal influence. Copepod communities in the northern South China Sea (nSCS) were studied based on samples collected by vertically towing a net in 10 February-6 March (winter) and 26 August-6 September (summer) of 2004. Calanoida species richness, total copepod abundance, Shannon-Weaver diversity index, and onshore-offshore occurrence of dominant species showed obvious change from onshore to offshore waters. Although the offshore stations had lower abundance than the shelf stations, they had more species and larger diversity index. Abundance of some species (groups) with dominance index > 5% (Calanus sinicus, Euchaeta spp., Temora spp., Paracalanus parvus, and Subeucalanus subtenuis) declined from onshore to offshore waters. Warm water species (Pleuromamma abdominalis, P. gracilis, and P. robusta) occurred in offshore waters in both cruises. Station (q-type) cluster analysis in winter and summer separated copepod community into onshore and offshore communities at similar to 40% level of similarity. The two communities were divided at the position of similar to 100-m isobath. In summer, C. sinicus occurred in the upwelling area east of Hainan Island, indicating the presence of an oversummering stock of this species.

黔西北土法炼锌区典型植物体内重金属的积累研究

对黔西北土法炼锌导致的重金属严重污染地区生长茂盛的自然植被及其根部土壤进行了重金属分析测试。土壤重金属形态用连续提取法区分为有效态和强结合态，结果发现植物体内的重金属含量与土壤中有效态的重金属含量成正比。所分析的4种植物体内的Pb、Zn、Cd含量表现为Zn>Pb>Cd。接骨草（Sambucus Chinensis）和柳叶苦荬菜（Ixeris gracilis）在体内富集、运输重金属元素的能力很强，是对污染区生态重建非常有前景的植物。
