Bacillus pallidus sp nov., isolated from forest soil

A Gram-positive bacterium, designated strain CW 7(T), was isolated from forest soil in Anhui Province, south-east China. Cells were strictly aerobic, motile with peritrichous flagella and rod-shaped. The strain grew optimally at 30-37 degrees C and pH 7.0-8.0. The major fatty acids of strain CW 7(T) were anteiso-C-15:0, iso-C-15:0 and anteiso-C-17:0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 42.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain CW 7(T) belonged to a monophyletic cluster within the genus Bacillus and showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of less than 96.5% to recognized species of the genus Bacillus. The results of the polyphasic taxonomic study, including phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses, showed that strain CW 7(T) represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus pallidus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CW 7(T) (=KCTC 13200(T)=CCTCC AB 207188(T)=LMG 24451(T)).

Improvement of Ge self-organized quantum dots by use of Sb surfactant

A Sb-mediated growth technique is developed to deposit Ge quantum dots (QDs) of small size, high density, and foe of dislocations. These QDs were grown at low growth temperature by molecular beam epitaxy. The photoluminescence and absorption properties of these Ge QDs suggest an indirect-to-direct conversion, which is in good agreement with a theoretical calculation.

Deep electron states in n-type Al-doped ZnS1-xTex grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Capacitance-voltage, photoluminescence (PL), and deep level transient spectroscopy techniques were used to investigate deep electron states in n-type Al-doped ZnS1-xTex epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The integrated intensity of the PL spectra obtained from Al-doped ZnS0.977Te0.023 is lower than that of undoped ZnS0.977Te0.023, indicating that some of the Al atoms form nonradiative deep traps. Deep level transient Fourier spectroscopy (DLTFS) spectra of the Al-doped ZnS1-xTex (x=0, 0.017, 0.04, and 0.046, respectively) epilayers reveal that Al doping leads to the formation of two electron traps 0.21 and 0.39 eV below the conduction band. DLTFS results suggest that in addition to the roles of Te as a component of the alloy as well as isoelectronic centers, Te is also involved in the formation of an electron trap, whose energy level with respect to the conduction band decreases as Te composition increases. Our results show that only a small fraction of Al atoms forms nonradiative deep defects, indicating clearly that Al is indeed a very good donor impurity for ZnS1-xTex epilayers in the range of Te composition being studied in this work.

分子束外延生长的n型Al掺杂ZnS_(1-x)Te_x深中心研究

应用电容-电压、光致荧光和深能级瞬态谱技术研究了分子束外延生长的n型Al掺杂ZnS_(1-x)Te_x外延层深中心。Al掺杂ZnS_(0.977)Te_(0.023)的光致荧光强度明显低于不掺杂的ZnS_(0.977)Te_(0.023),这表明一部分Al原子形成非辐射深中心。Al掺杂ZnS_(1-x)Te_x(x=0,0.017,0.04和0.046)的深能级瞬态傅里叶谱表明，Al引进导带下的0.21和0.39eV电子陷阱，Te除了作为材料合金的成分和等电子中心外，还涉及到一个电子陷阱的形成，其相对导带的能级位置随Te组分增加而减小。实验结果还表明仅有少量掺杂的Al原子形成非辐射中心，这说明Al对于Te组分范围内(x≤0.046)的ZnS_(1-x)Te_x外延层的确是一种非常好的施主杂质。

杉木人工林凋落物分解的研究

杉木是我国特有的速生针叶树种，栽培面积广泛（北纬21°41'－33°41'；东经102°-122°）。我国商品材的近1/4出自杉木人工林。杉木连栽地力衰退，生产力降低，是当前困扰杉木人工林发展的重大生产问题。在水热条件优越的亚热带山地，土壤肥力是影响林木持续保持高生产力的重要因素。因此，加速杉木人工林系统内养分循环是维持系统生产力稳定的关键，而凋落物分解又是养分循环的核心，于是对分解过程的调控便成为关键之关键。本研究的目的在于，探索促进杉木凋落物分解的途径，以增强林木自我培肥土壤的能力，为杉木人工林的可持续发展提供理论依据。研究所采用的实验材料全部来源于湖南省会同县广坪林区的中国科学院会同森林生态实验站。室内缩微模拟实验在英国陆地生态所完成，其它试验均在会同森林生态实验站进行。1. 杉木叶凋落物属难分解的凋落物，其原因是凋落物养分含量较低，尤其是N的含量偏低，为6.0mg.g~(-1)，仅为分解较快的桤木叶凋落物的41.6％；C/N比较高，为134.0，相当于桤木叶凋落物的2.38倍。杉木叶凋落物到第420天时的分解速率为43.3％，而桤木叶凋落物为67.2％。2. 根系凋落物也是杉木人工林生态系统凋落物的重要组分。杉木纯林细根年死亡量为497 kg.hm~(-2).a~(-1)，而火力楠人工纯林为595 kg.hm~(-2).a~(-1)。当火力楠与杉木混交后，细根年死亡量大幅度提高，达1149kg.hm~(-2).a~(-1)。杉木林死细根生物量年动态变化与地上部分生长规律基本一致。杉木细根象地上部分凋落物一样养分贫乏，除Ca以外，N、P、K、Mg分别比火力楠细根低53.0％、131％、595.9％、447.5％，而C/N比值高51.9％。杉木细根的年分解为32.78％，而火力楠为57.70％。因此，杉木纯林中通过细根归还的养分量相对较少，N、P、Ca、K、Mg归还量分别为0.32、0.007、0.58、0.52和0.83kg.hm~(-2)，而混交林中依次为2.59、0.046、1.87、6.06、7.86kg.hm~(-2)，大幅度增加。3. 杉木叶凋落物与阔叶树叶凋落物混合分解时表现出不同的相互作用形式。野外网袋法分解试验的结果表明，桤木与杉木叶凋落物混合分解，失重速率明显加快；火力楠与杉木叶凋落物分别以不同比例混合分解时，失重速率或强或弱得到促进；其它阔叶树并没有促进失重速率。除木荷外，其它阔叶树凋落物都不同程度地促进了Ca的释放。对于P，桤木和红栲，对于K，桤木和刺楸，明显促进了其释放，而其它阔叶树没有对这2种元素的释放产生任何作用。除木荷和樟树外，其它树种叶凋落物明显促进Mg的释放。实验中还发现，促进作用的强弱与阔叶树叶凋落物初始N含量高低有关。室内模拟实验中观察到的木荷叶凋落物明显抑制杉木叶凋落物分解的现象并没有在野外实验中发现。如果仅以凋落物分解过程中促进作用的强弱为标准选择杉木的混交林树种的话，选择这6种阔叶树的优先顺序为桤木、刺楸、红栲、火力楠、樟树、木荷。4. 本研究还用微型渗滤器进行模拟实验发现，投加NO_3-N促进了杉木叶凋落物的分解，在15周的时间分解速率提高2.38个百分点，而投加NH_4-N则未产生任何影响。投加NH_3－N和NH_4－N的负面效应是促进土壤养分的淋失。除Na~+以外，投加NH_4-N使NO_3-N、K~+、Ca~(2+)、Mg~(2+)的淋失明显增多。投加NO_3－N未明显合任何养分元素淋失增多。

Identification of factors affecting the growth and survival of the settling Japanese flounder larvae, Paralichthys olivaceus

A series of experiments were conducted to identify the factors that affected the growth and survival of the settling flounder larvae Paralichthys olivaceus. Settling larvae 24 days after hatching (DAH) were reared in 10-l experimental tanks up to 40 DAH, and two of the following factors were changed as controlled factors in each experiment: light regime (24L:0D or 12L:12D), prey density (1500, 3000, or 5000 Artemia l(-1)), shelter (sand or no sand) and stocking density (5, 10, or 15 fish l(-1)). Early settling larvae (24-35 DAH) experienced little mortality (less than 10% of the overall mortality) that was not significantly affected by above factors. In contrast, late settling larvae (36-40 DAH) suffered high cannibalistic mortality which was significantly influenced by each of the above factors. Larvae experienced significantly lower mortality at 10 fish l(-1) level than at other densities. Larvae at 15 fish l(-1) level had higher mortality than at 5 fish l(-1) when all other factors were identical. Larvae at 3000 and 5000 Artemia l(-1) treatments survived significantly better than at 1500 Artemia l(-1), but no significant differences in larval mortality were found between the two higher densities. Larvae suffered higher mortality at low prey density or at the absence of sand when they were exposed to longer photoperiod. Low stocking density significantly improved the growth of the settling larvae. The average daily instantaneous growth rate (G) at 5 and 15 fish l(-1) treatments were 0.050 and 0.034, with the coefficient of variation (CV) in final length at 16.4 and 23.5, respectively. Daily instantaneous growth rate increased significantly from 0.033 in the 1500 Artemia l(-1) to 0.041 and 0.045 in the 3000 and 5000 Artennia l(-1), respectively, but no significant difference in larval growth existed between the two higher prey densities. These findings suggested that the optimal prey density for growth and survival of the settling flounder larvae at a stocking density of 5 - 15 fish l(-1) was around 3000 Artemia l(-1) . Larvae that were exposed to 24L showed 20% increase in growth ( G = 0.046, CV = 18.7) than those exposed to 12L ( G = 0.037, CV = 20.5). Longer exposure to light significantly improved larval growth, provided sufficient food was available. Sand substrate did not show significant effects on larval growth, possibly because the larvae spent most of the time swimming or feeding in the water column during this stage.
