Isolation and characterization of microsatellites in yellow perch (Perca flavescens)

A total of 45 microsatellite loci from yellow perch, Perca flavescens, were isolated and characterized. Among the 45 microsatellite loci, 32 had more than two alleles. A wild population of P. flavescens (n = 48) was used to examine the allele range of the microsatellite loci. Mendelian inheritance of alleles was confirmed by examining the amplified products in pair-mated families. The number of alleles for the 32 polymorphic loci varied from two to 16, and observed heterozygosity ranged between 0.024 (YP79) and 0.979 (YP60). Cross-species polymorphic amplification in four other Percidae species was successful for 22 loci.

Molecular cloning of an invertebrate goose-type lysozyme gene from Chlamys farreri, and lytic activity of the recombinant protein

Lysozyme is a widely distributed hydrolase possessing lytic activity against bacterial peptidoglycan, which enables it to protect the host against pathogenic infection. In the present study, the cDNA of an invertebrate goose-type lysozyme (designated CFLysG) was cloned from Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri by expressed sequence tag (EST) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) techniques. The full-length cDNA of CFLysG consisted of 829 nucleotides with a canonical polyadenylation signal sequence AATAAA and a poly(A) tail, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 603 bp encoding a polypeptide of 200 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 21.92 kDa and theoretical isoelectric point of 7.76. The high similarity of CFLysG with goose-type (g-type) lysozymes in vertebrate indicated that CFLysG should be an invertebrate counterpart of g-type lysozyme family, which suggested that the origin of g-type lysozyme preceded the emergence of urochordates and even preceded the emergence of deuterostomes. Similar to most g-type lysozymes, CFLysG possessed all conserved features critical for the fundamental structure and function of g-type lysozymes, such as three catalytic residues (Glu 82, Asp 97, Asp 108). By Northern blot analysis, mRNA transcript of CFLysG was found to be most abundantly expressed in the tissues of gills, hepatopancreas and gonad, weakly expressed in the tissues of haemocytes and mantle, while undetectable in the adductor muscle. These results suggested that CFLysG could possess combined features of both the immune and digestive adaptive lysozymes. To gain insight into the in vitro lytic activities of CFLysG, the mature peptide coding region was cloned into Pichia pastoris for heterogeneous expression. Recombinant CFLysG showed inhibitive effect on the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with more potent activities against Gram-positive bacteria, which indicated the involvement of CFLysG in the innate immunity of C. farreri.

A broad deglacial delta C-13 minimum event in planktonic foraminiferal records in the Okinawa Trough

The equatorial Pacific upwelling zone has been suspected of playing an important role in the global atmospheric CO2 changes associated with glacial-interglacial cycles. In order to assess the influencing scope of the surface water deglacial delta(13)C minimum in the tropical low-latitude Pacific, the core DGKS9603, collected from the middle Okinawa Trough, was examined for 4513 C records of planktonic foraminifera N. dutertrei and G. ruber. The planktonic foraminiferal delta(13)C records show a clear decreasing event from 20 to 6 cal. kaBP., which is characterized by long duration of about 14 ka and amplitude shift of 0.4 x 10(-3). Its minimum value occurred at 15.7 cal kaBP. The event shows fairly synchrony with the surface water deglacial delta(13)C minimum identified in the tropical Pacific and its marginal seas. Because there is no evidence in planktonic foraminiferal fauna and 45180 records for upwelling and river runoff enhancement, the broad deglacial delta(13)C minimum event in planktonic foraminiferal records revealed in core DGKS9603 might have been the direct influencing result of the deglacial surface water of the tropical Pacific. The identification for the event in the Okinawa Trough provides new evidence that the water evolution in the tropical low-latitude Pacific plays a key role in large regional, even global carbon cycle.

真鲷（Pagrus major）胚胎超低温损伤机理研究

鱼类胚胎由于其自身结构特征：体积大、含水量高、多室结构等，迄今超低温保存尚未成功。超低温保存过程中所造成的冷冻损伤是制约鱼类胚胎超低温保存成功与否的关键，具体表现为渗透压影响、抗冻剂毒性、冰晶损伤等。系统研究并阐明鱼类胚胎冷冻损伤机理，是成功建立鱼类胚胎超低温保存技术的基础。本论文主要针对胚胎对渗透压的耐受性、抗冻剂对胚胎的渗透性、降温速率对胚胎内外冰晶形成温度的影响等冷冻损伤机理进行了系统研究，主要研究结果如下： 1.通过检测胚胎在不同浓度人工海水（0%、25%、50%、75%、1×、2×、3×、4×，渗透压范围0~3740 mOsm/kg）中的孵化率，确定了真鲷不同发育时期胚胎对渗透压的耐受范围，以及心跳期胚胎浸泡不同时间对渗透压的耐受范围。结果显示：①真鲷2-4细胞期、原肠期、10-14体节期胚胎、心跳期和出膜前期胚胎孵化率>50%时渗透压的范围依次为：919~1391 mOsm/kg、919~1391 mOsm/kg、462 ~1391 mOsm/kg、232~1878 mOsm/kg和692~1391 mOsm/kg，表明心跳期胚胎对渗透压变化的耐受范围最广；②在不同浓度人工海水中分别浸泡10 min、30 min、1 h、5 h和10 h后，真鲷胚胎孵化率无显著变化的渗透压范围分别为0~2804 mOsm/kg、0~1878 mOsm/kg、232~1391 mOsm/kg、232~1391 mOsm/kg和919~1391 mOsm/kg；结果表明心跳期胚胎对渗透压的耐受范围随浸泡时间的延长而减小。 2.采用毛细管电泳技术检测胚胎内部DMSO的浓度，并且分析了胚胎孵化率和胚胎内部DMSO的浓度随浸泡时间变化与外部抗冻剂的关系。结果表明胚胎孵化率随胚胎外部抗冻剂溶液浓度和浸泡时间的增加而降低；胚胎内部DMSO浓度随胚胎外部抗冻剂溶液浓度和浸泡时间的增加而增加。对胚胎孵化率（y1）随抗冻剂溶液浓度（x）的变化进行一元三次多项式回归，当浸泡时间分别为10 min、30 min和60 min时，回归方程依次为：y1 = -2832.7x3 + 575.01x2 - 37.011x + 99.641（R2 = 0.9722）；y1 = 30288x3 - 16322x2 + 2077.3x + 27.603（R2 = 0.9876）；y1 = 16052x3 - 5985.2x2 - 32.696x + 119.6（R2 = 0.9124）。对胚胎内部DMSO浓度（y2）随抗冻剂溶液浓度（x）的变化进行回归，当浸泡时间分别为10 min、30 min和60 min时，回归方程依次为：y2 = 0.2584e6.7294x（R2 = 0.9876）；y2 = 0.2521e10.964x（R2 = 0.9644）；y2 = 0.4054e10.95x（R2 = 0.8954）。 3. 利用低温显微镜观察了不同降温速率（20、40、60、80、100、120℃/min）对胚胎内外冰晶形成温度的影响。胚胎外部冰晶形成温度（TEIF）随降温速率的增加显著下降，在降温速率大于80℃/min之后，TEIF随降温速率增加而降低的幅度减小；胚胎内部冰晶形成温度（TIIF）在降温速率小于80℃/min 时随降温速率的升高而降低，在降温速率大于80℃/min 时随降温速率的升高而升高；胚胎内外冰晶形成温度差值（TEIF - TIIF）在降温速率小于80℃/min时随降温速率的升高而增大，在降温速率大于80℃/min时随降温速率的升高而减小。 4. 在低温显微镜下观察了真鲷胚胎低温保存中有复活胚胎记录的保存方法在冷冻解冻过程中的冰晶形成过程，结果表明：①在冷冻过程中，玻璃化法冷冻的胚胎的内部冰晶形成温度（-53.70，-64.33℃）显著低于程序降温法（-17.51，-21.40℃）；而且在玻璃化法冷冻的胚胎内部冰晶形成温度高于外部冰晶后形成（-70.30℃），程序降温法中则相反，胚胎内部冰晶形成温度显著低于外部冰晶形成温度（-4.93，-5.00℃）；玻璃化法中，40%PG冷冻的胚胎外部溶液出现玻璃化现象，其他组均未出现；②在解冻过程中，各组均出现重结晶现象；解冻后，玻璃化法的胚胎完整率（62.82%）远高于程序降温法（9.21%）。

富镉锌矿成矿流体地球化学研究：以贵州都匀牛角塘富镉锌矿为例

通过对贵州都匀牛角塘富镉锌矿包裹体的研究，发现有一定数量的有机包裹体。该矿床与密西西比河谷型（ＭＶＴ）矿床相似，均属于Ｎａ＾＋－Ｃａ＾２＋－Ｋ＾＋－Ｍｇ＾２＋－Ｃｌ＾－体系，同时，两者在成矿流体温度、盐度和密度方面也有一定差别。该矿床成矿流体组分与油田卤水相似，仅Ｃａ＾２＋和Ｍｇ＾２＋含量偏高，这可能与晚阶段的碳酸盐有关。笔者认为，成矿流体可能与麻江古油藏的油田卤水有关，正是由于油田卤水携带了Ｃｄ

富集铊汞砷的生物是滥木厂铊矿床找矿和铊矿区污染的标志

滥木厂铊矿区植物和动物中Ｔｌ、Ｈｇ、Ａｓ含量变化总的趋势是以Ｈｇ最高，Ｔｌ次之，Ａｓ最低为特点。它们明显受生物赖以生存的地质地球化学和生物地球化学环境制约，尤其是矿区水、土壤和岩、矿石中高背景Ｔｌ、Ｈｇ、Ａｓ含量制约。矿区生物中Ｔ１、Ｈｇ、Ａｓ含量异常高，不难看出，矿区生物中Ｔ１、Ｈｇ、Ａｓ含量的高低，不仅是判别矿区污染程度的标志，也是找矿，特别是找盲矿体的标志。
