头孢噻肟钠与重金属对AmpC β-内酰胺酶类抗性基因转移的影响

为探究抗生素和重金属对抗性转移及接合子抗性基因丰度的影响,借助绿色荧光蛋白标记质粒,采用滤膜接合配对方法研究了胁迫条件对细菌接合频率的影响,定量检测了转移后的AmpC β-内酰胺酶类抗性基因丰度的变化.结果表明,头孢噻肟钠及重金属共胁迫促进了AmpC β-内酰胺酶类抗性基因从复杂群落到Escherichia coli BL21的转移.3μg·L~(-1)头孢噻肟钠胁迫下,细菌接合频率为空白组的2.06倍,其中,接合子耐药基因CIT、FOX和EBC的相对丰度分别升高了7.47、4.30和1.60倍.同时,以3μg·L~(-1)头孢噻肟钠胁迫组为对照,研究了重金属汞、铜和锌共胁迫对抗性转移的影响,考虑到头孢噻肟钠的水解特性和接合子克隆性扩增,接合时间定为3 h.结果发现,汞、铜、锌与头孢噻肟钠共胁迫组的细菌接合频率分别比对照组增长了2.57、1.60和1.74倍.汞共胁迫对接合子中7种AmpC β-内酰胺酶类抗性基因丰度无显著影响;铜共胁迫效应因抗生素抗性基因(ARGs)种类不同而不同,其中,对抗性基因EBC相对丰度的影响最大;锌共胁迫效应受锌离子浓度和ARGs种类影响,100 mg·L~(-1)锌共胁迫使得EBC和CIT丰度比对照组分别增加3.56和2.76倍.可见,抗生素与重金属共胁迫条件可促进环境中AmpC β-内酰胺酶类抗性基因的转移,值得关注.

Risk Assessment of Inbreeding and Outbreeding Depression in a Captive‐Breeding Program

Captive‐breeding programs can be implemented to preserve the genetic diversity of endangered populations such that the controlled release of captive‐bred individuals into the wild may promote recovery. A common difficulty, however, is that programs are founded with limited wild broodstock, and inbreeding can become increasingly difficult to avoid with successive generations in captivity. Program managers must choose between maintaining the genetic purity of populations, at the risk of inbreeding depression, or interbreeding populations, at the risk of outbreeding depression. We evaluate these relative risks in a captive‐breeding program for 3 endangered populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). In each of 2 years, we released juvenile F₁ and F₂ interpopulation hybrids, backcrosses, as well as inbred and noninbred within‐population crosstypes into 9 wild streams. Juvenile size and survival was quantified in each year. Few crosstype effects were observed, but interestingly, the relative fitness consequences of inbreeding and outbreeding varied from year to year. Temporal variation in environmental quality might have driven some of these annual differences, by exacerbating the importance of maternal effects on juvenile fitness in a year of low environmental quality and by affecting the severity of inbreeding depression differently in different years. Nonetheless, inbreeding was more consistently associated with a negative effect on fitness, whereas the consequences of outbreeding were less predictable. Considering the challenges associated with a sound risk assessment in the wild and given that the effect of inbreeding on fitness is relatively predictable, we suggest that risk can be weighted more strongly in terms of the probable outcome of outbreeding. Factors such as genetic similarities between populations and the number of generations in isolation can sometimes be used to assess outbreeding risk, in lieu of experimentation.

旱地作物根际和非根际土壤硝酸盐异化还原成铵细菌群落组成的研究

为研究典型旱地农田土壤硝酸盐异化还原成铵过程(Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium,DNRA)的群落组成,针对DNRA过程的功能基因nrfA进行高通量测序.根际和非根际、4种典型农作物共16个样品,质控后每个样品得到87000条序列,在相似度≥90%下划分到27952个OTUs,选取其中丰度较高的258个代表OTUs进行生态学分析.多样性分析(OTUs水平)结果表明:3/4的作物根际土壤样品中的DNRA群落丰富度、物种多样性和物种均匀度高于相应非根际样品,对比4种作物,粟作物根部土壤DNRA群落多样性最高,玉米作物非根际土壤最低.对代表OTUs进行分类,共定义到6个门(Phylum),19个属(Genus).其中相对丰度最高的3个属为Hyalangium(29.31%)、Chthoniobacter(20.33%)和Nitrospira(13.41%),表明三者在群落组成中占主导地位.结合土壤理化因子分析,DNRA群落相对丰度与NO~-_2-N、TN、含水率、TOM、pH及温度呈显著相关关系.本研究在一定程度上揭示了旱地农田土壤DNRA细菌的群落组成、多样性及与土壤环境因子的关系,为提高氮肥的利用效率和减小环境污染提供理论依据.     

Prenatal diagnosis of severe combined immunodeficiency with defective synthesis of HLA molecules

The immunodeficiency associated with a defective expression of HLA molecules is an autosomal recessive disorder leading to death during childhood. We have performed prenatal diagnosis for six fetuses at risk for this disease by membrane immunofluorescence on blood lymphocytes and monocytes, using specific monoclonal antibodies for HLA class I and II molecules. Two pregnancies have been found to be affected. The diagnosis has been confirmed on each abortus by the study of the membrane expression of HLA class I and II molecules on blood lymphocytes and monocytes, and on thymic and splenic cells. The four other cases were found to be normal both during pregnancy and after birth. The detection of the defect as early as the 20th week of gestation allows selective termination.     

Prenatal testing for inherited immune deficiencies by fetal blood sampling

We attempted to develop a prenatal diagnosis in fetuses at risk for immunodeficiency by fetal blood sampling performed under fetoscopy at 18–22 weeks of gestation. In order to obtain normal values, we first investigated thirty-five control fetuses whose blood punctures were undertaken for the diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies. Surface markers and in vitro mitogen-induced proliferation of the fetal lymphocytes were studied using micromethods. We then examined two fetuses at risk for two different types of severe combined immunodeficiency and established their immunological integrity, hence avoiding an unjustified termination of pregnancy. This immunological integrity was confirmed after birth.
