      2011, 20(1):1-7.

      Abstract (3825) HTML (0) PDF 1.12 M (2891) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Simple Sequence Repeats(SSR)marker analysis was used to measure the genetic structure and genetic differentiation of four successively selected generations(F10,F11,F12,F13)of NEW GIFT strain Nile tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus). The results showed that: total of 78 alleles(100-295 bp)were found among the four populations of 120 individuals with 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci. The mean number of effective alleles of four generations ranged from 2.84 to 3.27, the average polymorphism information content and the expected value of mean heterozygosity varied from 0.567 6 to 0.622 9 and from 0.627 1 to 0.676 2 in four selected generations, respectively. Three genetic parameters all indicated the same tendency that they have been steadily decreasing with the increasing of selected generations, which proved that the purifying experience of NEW GIFT strain Nile tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus)was still continuing in the course of long-term selective breeding. On the other hand, pair wise FST values between the two arbitrary generations ranged from 0.019 07 to 0.133 54, which indicated that the selective breeding generations also generated moderate genetic differentiation. The above results showed that our applied breeding technique strategy (synchronized selection at Yellow River, Yangtze River and Pearl River ecosystems, exchange periodically, keep effective breeding number, as well as strict superfish four-steps selection proceeding)for the NEW GIFT strain Nile tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus)could enable the selective breeding populations to maintain abundant genetic variation, which would be beneficial to the sustainable development of long-term selective breeding.

    • Cloning and characterization of nacre-related genes in silver-lip pearl oyster Pinctada maxima

      2011, 20(1):8-14.

      Abstract (9479) HTML (0) PDF 1.33 M (4354) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:We have cloned two cDNAs that encode N66-like proteins in Pinctada maxima and are named N36 and N45, respectively. The open reading frame (ORF) of N36 was 987 bp long, encoding 329 amino acids with molecular mass estimated to be 35.7 kD while the ORF of N45 was 1 164 bp, encoding 387 amino acids with estimated molecular mass of 44.6 kD. Both proteins were rich in Gly, Asn and Asp residues. There was no signal peptide in N36 protein while the amino acid residues 1-22 in N45 showed a typical signal peptide. N36 and N45 contained 2 and 1 putative glycosylation sequences, 9 and 16 putative phosphorylation sites, respectively. Their secondary structure consisted of α-helix,β-sheet and coil. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that N36 and N45 were more closely related to N66 than other nacrein-like proteins. Similar to nacrein in P. fucata and N66 in P. maxima, N36 and N45 proteins contained two functional domains: α-carbonic anhydrase domain and Gly-Xaa-Asn (Xaa = Asp, Asn or Glu) repeat domain, suggesting that both N36 and N45 are likely to participate in calcium carbonate crystal formation in nacreous layer.

      Abstract:In this study, the complete cDNA of a insulinlike growth factor binding gene IGFBP-1 was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) in grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus. And mRNA transcripts during embryogenesis and in adult tissues were studied by RT-PCR. The results showed that: (1) The complete cDNA of C.idellus IGFBP-1 is 1 135 bp and its ORF includes 789 bp which coding 262 aminoacid residue. The deduced amino acid analysis showed that the sequence similarities between C.idellus and Cyprinus carpio, Danio rerio, Ictalurus punctatus, Salmo salar, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Seriola quinqueradiata, Mus musculus and Homo sapiens are 94%, 93%, 69%, 60%, 58%, 56%, 40% and 38%, respectively. Its functional Nterminal and Cterminal domains, which are involved in binding with IGF ligand, are very conservative. (2) RT-PCR results demonstrated that IGFBP-1 gene had a low expression in embryos at different stages in C.idellus. Weak mRNA transcripts can be detected after 12 hpf. Tissue distribution results showed that IGFBP-1 mRNA was expressed in liver, kidney, intestines and heart. In terms of its crucial function of IGFBP-1 in IGF signal pathway and as a hypoxiainducible gene, our results provide data for further functional investigations of IGFBP-1 gene in grass carp.

      Abstract:According to the Chile jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi) samples in the southeast Pacific Ocean (34°S ~37°S,90°W-110°W) collected by Chinese trawler fishing vessel during July and December 2009, 146 muscle samples collected from17 sites were used for population genetic structure identification by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. 52 loci were detected and 51 of these loci were polymorphic, which accounted for 98.08% of the total loci. The Shannon’s index was 0.5202±0.1813, the Nei’s genetic diversity index was 0.3500±0.1440, and the GSTvalues was 0.0311. The results indicated that the genetic diversity of the Trachurus murphyi was comparably high, and genetic differentiation was not significant among populations.

    • Identification and pureness of germplasm analysis of Oreochromis niloticus, Oreochromis aureus,and their hybrids by microsatellite markers

      2011, 20(1):27-33.

      Abstract (3237) HTML (0) PDF 2.13 M (2766) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:43 microsatellite loci were chosen randomly in the first six linkage groups on the microsatellite genetic map of tilapia, and relevant primers were used to perform PCR amplification from genomic DNA of Oreochromis niloticus, GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain, Oreochromis aureus and hybrids of O.niloticus and O.aureus. And seven microsatellite loci (UNH995GM066GM166UNH162GM017GM440UNH948) were screened in this study. The seven loci could amplify unique bands of variety characters respectively and any loci could be used as a molecular marker to distinguish O.niloticus or GIFT strain, O.aureu, and hybrid tilaplia. The average alleles number detected by these 7 loci in O.niloticus, GIFT strain, and O.aureus was 3.1, 2.3 and 1.7 respectively, and the lengths ranged from 124 to 310 bp. The amplification by PCR had an over 20 bp difference between O.niloticus and O.aureus on these 7 loci. The bands amplified by 2 loci were sequenced and then analyzed, and the results showed that the differences were caused by different microsatellite repeats. Germplasm pureness analysis of O.niloticus, GIFT strain and O.aureu populations by these 7 loci indicated that there were 8%,4% and 4% individuals of each population could obtain similar bands to the hybrid tilapia in some loci, which might have some genetic pollution.

    • Full length cDNA cloning and tissue expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ⅰfrom blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala)

      2011, 20(1):34-43.

      Abstract (3638) HTML (0) PDF 1.58 M (2671) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) technique was used to clone “Pujiang No.1” blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) MHC class Ⅰgene (Meam-MHC I), and total three full-length cDNA sequences in the F0 and F8 generations were obtained by cloning and sequencing method, respectively. The sequences were 2 040-2 079 bp in length, including an 87-102 bp 5′-UTR, a 1 035-1 044 bp coding region, containing signal region, three (α1, α2, α3) domains, a transmembrane and cytoplasmic region (TM/CY), and 911-946 bp 3′-UTR. The coding region had 344-347 amino acids. Within F8 generation, the nucleotide/amino acid sequences similarities were as high as 89.0%/93.0%. But the values were relatively as low as 75%-77% /71% between generations, indicating obviously sequence polymorphism. The Meam-MHC I exhibited a classical 3D molecular structure, and compared to the PBR region of HLA-A2,the major differences were mainly in the five regions (I-V). It was revealed in the neighbor-joining tree that the blunt snout bream had the closest relationship with grass carp, far from salmon and trout, and still farther from, chicken and human. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that Meam-MHC I transcript was detected at high level in gill, head kidney and blood, moderate in liver and spleen, and low in trunk kidney, gut and muscle.

    • Complete cDNA cloning and prokaryotic expression of chitin deacetylase CDA2 from Mucor racemosus

      2011, 20(1):44-49.

      Abstract (13887) HTML (0) PDF 1.37 M (6603) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The complete cDNA (GenBank accession number DQ678929) and its corresponding gene (EF468349) of chitin deacetylase CDA2 from Mucor racemosus mycelium had been cloned by rapid amplification cDNA end (RACE) with specific degenerate primers. In contrast to previously obtained gene cda1, cda2 contained no intron sequence. It consisted of 1 378 bp nucleotides, comprising 23-bp 5’ untranslated region (UTR), 1 254bp open reading frame (ORF) and 101-bp 3’ UTR. The ORF encoded 418 amino acid (a.a.) residues including a 21 a.a. N-terminal signal peptide and a conserved polysaccharide deacetylase domain were located in an area of 150-272 a.a. residues. The results from subsequent construction of expressional vector pET28a-cda2 and prokaryotic expression revealed that molecular weight of recombinant protein CDA2 was about 46 ku and it was mainly found in inclusion bodies. The purified CDA2 showed chitin deacetylating activities. This work is necessary for further structural and functional exploration in chitin deacetylase CDA2 from M. racemosus.

    • Effects of temperature on the instantaneous oxygen consumption rate of obscure puffer (Takifugu obscurus) and tawny puffer (Takifugu flavidus) juveniles

      2011, 20(1):50-55.

      Abstract (3885) HTML (0) PDF 939.09 K (2747) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The instantaneous oxygen consumption rates of obscure puffer (Takifugu obscurus) and tawny puffer (Takifugu flavidus) juveniles (about 20 g mean weight) were measured by closedchamber respiration methods at seven temperatures (11, 15, 19, 23, 27, and 31 ℃). The results showed that the instantaneous oxygen consumption rates (V) of obscure puffer and tawny puffer juveniles decreased as the experimental time (t) increased, showing the power law model (V=atb, r2>0.98, p<0.01). Within suitable dissolved oxygen range, the oxygen consumptions of obscure puffer and tawny puffer juveniles were both directly related to the concentration which could be denoted as “conformers”, i.e. V decreased with decreased dissolved oxygen level, whereas, below that range, the juveniles maintain a constant oxygen consumption rate to ensure the basic life activities, regardless of the concentration of dissolved oxygen, and there are the socalled “regulators”. The oxygen consumption rate and dissolved oxygen had a significant quadratic relationship (r2>0.95, p<0.01). The oxygen consumption rate increased rapidly as the temperature increased (11-31 ℃), showing a linear relationship in the range of temperatures investigated (r2>0.95, p<0.01). Within the temperature range of the conventional pond culture, the oxygen consumptions of obscure puffer juvenile were higher than that of tawny puffer. The Q10 of obscure puffer and tawny puffer juveniles were 2.84 and 2.65, respectively. In actual culture and transport processes of obscure puffer and tawny puffer, when dissolved oxygen level is below 3 mg/L, the emergency aid measures should be started.

    • The variations of digestive enzyme activities during the development of Oplegnathus fasciatus larvae

      2011, 20(1):56-62.

      Abstract (13441) HTML (0) PDF 1.06 M (6628) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:This paper investigated the trypsinase, acid protease, amylase and lipase activities of the Oplegnathus fasciatus larvae cultured in indoor pond from hatching to post hatching day (phd) 33rd. The results indicated that trypsinase, acid protease, amylase and lipase could be detected in newly hatched larvae, although the activities of trypsinase, acid protease and amylase were very low. The total activity of trypsinase (U/larva) of the larvae increased significantly on phd 9th and increased gradually with the development. The total activities of acid prolease and lipase of the larvae increased significantly on phd 28th. The total activities of acid prolease and lipase of the larvae on phd 33rd were significant higher than those on phd 28th respectively. The total activity of amylase of the larvae increased significantly on phd 9th and also increased gradually with the development. While the larvae developed at juvenile stage (>phd 22nd), the total activity of amylase decreased significantly with the development. It is suggested that the activities of digestive enzyme of the Oplegnathus fasciatus larvae closely correspond to the development stage and feeding habit. The trypsinase and amylase were the very important endogenous enzymes at the early stage of the larva development.

    • Study of growth performance of nucleus herd of family breeding in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and selection of parents with good trait

      2011, 20(1):63-70.

      Abstract (3209) HTML (0) PDF 1.26 M (2595) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In recent years, the germplasm in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) has degraded seriously. Family breeding of channel catfish was carried out. In the present study, the growth performance of different nucleus herd families was compared, and the parents with good trait were selected. The body length and body weight of 122-519 d of nucleus herd individuals as well as the survival rate of the families were measured and analyzed. The results showed that the average body weight of the family with the fastest growth rate was 3.53 times that of the family with the slowest growth rate. The AGRW of these families ranged from 0.94 to 3.32 g/d. The multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that there were significant differences (P<0.01) in harvest body weight and body length among the families, and the growth days of families had no significant influence on the harvest body weights and body lengths (P>0.05). The one-way AVOVA and Duncan analysis revealed that: (1) There were significant differences in harvest body weight and AGRW among the A, B, C family groups (P<0.01) that were divided by AGRW. The fast growth A family group included twenty families. The average body weight and AGRW of the A group were significantly higher than the total average of the nucleus herd. (2)There were significant differences in growth characterization among the offspring of ten cross combinations(P<0.01). The 0397, 0497 and 0103 hybridization family had obvious growth heterosis. Their average harvest body weights were 20.95%, 19.47% and 14.42% higher than the total average of the nucleus herd respectively, and the average AGRW were 20.66%, 19.81% and 15.74% higher than that of nucleus herd respectively. (3)There were significant differences in harvest body weight and AGRW among offspring of different geographic population male parents(P<0.05). The offspring families of 04 and 97 geographic population male parents had obvious growth advantage. There were no significant differences in growth characterization among offspring of different geographic population female parents(P>0.05). The offspring families of 03 geographic population female parents grew faster. Finally, based on the data of the nucleus herd, the body length and weight relationship was constructed: W = 0.0281 L2.7552 (R2=0.9903). And this showed that the family individuals were in allometric growth period.

      2011, 20(1):71-75.

      Abstract (12743) HTML (0) PDF 1.07 M (6409) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Ultrastructure of spermatozoa of E. septemfasciatus was investigated using transmission electron microscopes. The spermatozoa consists of two parts: the head and the tail (flagellum), no midpiece. The spermatozoa of E. septemfasciatus has no acrosome. A large spherical nucleus, covered with nuclear membrane, is located at the front part of the head and about its 1/3. The high electron density chromatin is the main components of nucleus, with several low electron density vesicles in it. There is little space between the plasma membrane and nuclear membrane at the front part of head. The implantation fossa is located in the posterior end of the nucleus. Proximal centriole and intercentriolar body are located in implantation fossa. The posterior end of the head is a large sleeve, which is about 2/3 of the head. The sleeve contains centriolar complex, several mitochondria and vesicles. At the midpart of the sleeve, there is a sleeve carve, out of which the thin and long tail stretches. The tail with only a little cytoplasm is thin and long. The axoneme between the end of the base body and the head of the tail is “9+0”. The 9 doublet of the axoneme, the central structure of the tail, is connected to the 9 strips of the posterior end of the basal body. The flagellar tail is the conventional “9+2”axoneme.

      2011, 20(1):76-84.

      Abstract (3427) HTML (0) PDF 2.56 M (2595) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The distribution pattern and the surface structure of the lateral line system at the late embryonic stage in Chiloscyllium punctatum are examined by using Alcian blue stain, parafin section and SEM. The result reveals that morphological pattern of the lateral line system of Chiloscyllium punctatum is the same as most of the elasmobranch (Hemiscyllidae). The system consists of the mechanoreceptive canal neuromasts and pit organs, and the electroreceptive, Ampullae of Lorenzini organs. The lateral line canals are arranged in a basic sevencanal pattern. The canal neuromasts consist of mantle cells, support cells and sensory hair cells. They are surrounded by light cartilage canal wall and buried under the skin. The Pit organs are similar in compositions as, but smaller in size than, the canal neuromasts. They are standing in line on dorsal of the trunk and between the two sides of the trunk lateral line canals, each organ opens to the skin surface between two scales and through a short tube (about 40~60 μm long) with wall of irregularly arranged epidermal cells. The Ampullae of Lorenzini consists of the pore on the surface of the skin, tubules and ampulla (with sensory cells) in the derm. Most of Lorenzini tubules range from 1-50 mm with wall of regularly arranged epidermal cells; each Lorenzini ampulla is about 50 um in diameter and consists of 7 sacs. The patterns of the lateral line distribution and the structure of the receptors in Chiloscyllium punctatum are congruent with its phylogenetic relationships with others in the Chondrostei. It is also adapted to their habitat preferences.

      2011, 20(1):89-95.

      Abstract (4463) HTML (0) PDF 1.15 M (2987) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Vibrio anguillarum is a common form of bacterial pathogens for marine fish. In this paper, sea perch (Lateolabrax japonicus) was challenged with an intraperitoneal injection at different concentrations of V. anguillarum: namely treatments A: 1*106 pfu/mL, B:1*107 pfu/mL, C:1*108 pfu/mL and the innate immunity indicators were investigated. Blood samples were taken at different time, and the effects of challenging of V. anguillarum on the immunity responses were studied by measuring the respiratory burst, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), phenoloxidase (PO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. The results showed that: 1) Compared with the control group, the respiratory burst activity of treatment B and C decreased significantly (P<0.01) at 12h and 36h of injection. 2) Compared with the control group, the PO activity of treatment A, B and C at 12 h, 36 h ,60 h, 84 h and 108 h after injection decreased significantly (P<0.01). 3) There was no significant difference between treatments and control groups for ALP activity except for at 60 h. 4) Compared with the control group, the ACP activity of treatment A, B and C at 60 h, 84 h and 108 h after injection increased significantly (P<0.05). 5) There was no significant difference between treatments and control groups for SOD activity at 12 h, 36 h, 60 h, 84 h and 108 h(P>0.05). Moreover, in the semilethal experiment, V. anguillarum at the concentration of 1*106 pfu/mL,1*107 pfu/mL and 1*108 pfu/mL 50%, of death in experimental group occurred on 12 d,11 d and 8d respectively, while no death for control group. During infection, experimental group has different symptoms: caudal fin ulceration, gill pale, whitish cornea, the mouth's ulceration, the inside has yellow viscous ascites. The higher the concentration infection with V. anguillarum, the earlier was for 50% of the death. These results indicated that V. anguillarum concentration and the mortality rate are positively correlated.

      2011, 20(1):96-101.

      Abstract (3973) HTML (0) PDF 975.48 K (2874) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Based on the data taken from two fishery resource surveys near the sea area of Qushan Island in March and June 2008, this study investigated distributions of Hoplocarida and Decapoda shrimp (simply called “shrimp”) resource density, species composition, richness and diversity (H') ; analyzed the contribution of the dominant species to total shrimp density. Results showed that 18 Decapoda and 1 Hoplocarida species were identified. Among them Alpheus japonicus, Palaemon gravieri and Exopalaemon annandalei were dominant species in March, while Alpheus japonicus was the dominant species in June. Weight density was 840.65 kg/km2 and individual density was 797.34103 ind/km2in March, and 923.52 kg/km2and 647.32103 ind/km2 in June respectively. Both weight and individual distribution showed the same tendency that the densities in the south area were higher than those in the north area. Based on theβ value, we come to the conclusion that the change of shrimp density was closely related with the change of the main dominant species density.

    • Influence of sea surface temperature and La Nia event on temporal and spatial fluctuation of chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) stock in the East China Sea

      2011, 20(1):102-107.

      Abstract (4042) HTML (0) PDF 896.81 K (4018) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Based on the catch and fishing effort data from small scale traditional light seining fisheries of Zhejiang Province and abundance data estimated by Fisheries Agency of Japan, the influence of the sea surface temperature (SST) from East China Sea and sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) from Niňo 3.4 area on the stock size of chub mackerel in East China Sea was analyzed. The results showed that there were significant positive relation (P<0.05) between SST and CPUE derived from small scale traditional light seining fisheries of Zhejiang Province and significant negative relation (P<0.05) between SST and abundance from Japan. The averaged SSTA of Niňo 3.4 from January to March can be considered as an index which roughly reflected abundance levels. When the averaged SSTA was negative, there was a great chance in lean year for chub mackerel stock, and vice versa. The opposite relationships between SST and abundance from different areas may be attributed to the influence of SST on migration of chub mackerel. La Niňa event would have a negative impact on the resource in the whole East China Sea, but the reason needs to be investigated in the future. The results indicated that the temporal and spatial dynamics of the stock should be included in the stock assessment for chub mackerel.

    • Establishment of surplus production model for chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea based on the sea surface temperature

      2011, 20(1):108-113.

      Abstract (13158) HTML (0) PDF 866.66 K (6364) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Sea water temperature (SST) is one of the important factors that impact growth, reproduction and recruitment of chub mackerel. According to the catch and standardized CPUE data of purse seine fishery with lights (PSFL) and monthly sea surface temperature of the spawning ground in February from 1998 to 2006, the author developed a surplus production model for chub mackerel based on SST, and analyzed the impact of SST on the chub mackerel stock and its sustainable yield. The result indicates the relationship between sustainable yield and SST, can be expressed as Yt=1 080.97 ft-0.006f2t+114.51SSTt ft-2.91SST2tft. Variations of chub mackerel stock biomass and sustainable yield are controlled mainly by SST in the spawning ground and fishing effort. The optimal SST range for chub mackerel spawning is 18.5- 20.6℃. It is suggested that the maximum sustainable yield may be estimated based on the annual different environmental conditions, and the fishery management measures should be adjusted in realtime.

    • Effect simulation and designing of the rate for charging to control fishing capacity of Chinese inshore fleets

      2011, 20(1):114-120.

      Abstract (3386) HTML (0) PDF 1.10 M (2694) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Base on the systematically measure to the fishing capability and the capacity utilization of Chinese inshore fleets by the data envelope analysis method, it was set up separately for the quantity relations between the fishing capacity and the income, the capacity utilization and the fishing capacity, and the income of per unit capacity and the capacity utilization. Making use of these models, the possible effect to fishing capacity was simulated by charging different fee for per unit of fishing capacity from 1996 to 2005. The results showed: through charging by 100 yuan for a ton fishing capacity to Chinese inshore fishing fleets for ten years, the fishing capacity would be curtailed to 40% of the original ones if the other management measures were not changed. So it will be necessary for controlling fishing capacity to introduce the system of charging in Chinese inshore fishing management. In the same time, the research also discovered that charging to fishing fleets will improve the whole fishing industry’s efficiency. But only when the fee rate isn’t too low, the effect of charging for protecting fishery resources will be seen, After that, the design of the proper fee rate for controlling fishing capacity to given aim was studied by the method of programming solution. It provides a reference method for constituting effective fee rate to the policies of charging. At last, through analyzing the difference between charging and taxing, it is suggested to collect the protecting fee of fishery resources for Chinese inshore fleets.

      Abstract:This paper mainly studied the uptake kinetics of NO3—N and PO4—P by Ulva prolifera in laboratory. The results showed that: (1) The higher the density of algae, the higher removal efficiency on the NO3—N and PO4—P in Ulva prolifera is. When the algae density is 10g/L, the concentration of PO4—P in the culture medium are 94.27 percent lower than the starting time after 6 h; (2) The absorption rates of U. prolifera on nitrogen and phosphorus can be described by the MihcaelsiMenton equation (R2> 0.95); The absorption rates of U. prolifera on nitrogen and phosphorus had a relationship with their contents in the medium. With increasing of NO3 —N and PO4—P concentrations in the medium, the absorption rates are at higher levels and eventually leveling off balance. When the concentrations of PO4—P rise to 20 μmol/L, or NO3—N rise to 45 μmol/L in the medium, the uptake rates both reached the maximum. (3) With the extension of time, there were three different stages for U. prolifera uptaking NO3—N and PO4—P: the first 60 min ,called rapid uptake stage , within the the maximum uptake rate of 250.43 and 5.82 μmol/(gh), respectively, while in the subsequent 60-320 min the changes of uptake rates are relatively slow, and with the maximum absorption rate of 155.12 and 2.36 μmol/(gh), respectively. After 320-720 min, the uptake rates are close to flat, the maximum absorption rates of U. prolifera are 36.72 and 1.32 μmol/(gh), respectively. This study provided a theoretical basis for exploring the mechanism of U. prolifera outbreak and its marine ecological effects assessment.

      Abstract:The clone library of 16S rDNA and the phylogenetic tree were constructed with extraction of bacterial DNA from seaweed bed sediment sample of Gouqi Island , PCR amplification of bacterial 16S rDNA by universal primers, molecular clone, sequencing of 16S rDNA fragments and sequence analysis. The biodiversity of bacteria and phylogenetic analysis showed that the bacterial community fell into five main lineages: Proteobacteria(48.2%), Firmicutes(22.2%), Actinobacteria(14.8%), Chloroflexi(3.7%), Acidobacteria(3.7%), In addition, a part of unidentified bacteria (7.4%) was detected. Gammaproteobacteria played the dominant role in the Proteobacteria community of the seaweed bed sediment, it was about 46.1%, followed by the Alphaproteobacteria(23.1%),Betaproteobacteria(15.4%), Epsilonproteobacteria(7.7%), Deltaproteobacteria(7.7%). As the preponderant bacteria of marine sediment, the composition of Proteobacteria community was different in dissimilar ecosystems. It explained that the composition of the functional group is closely related to the mechanism of ecosystem. As the two branches of Grampositive bacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria mostly participated in decomposition of detritus and heterotrophic nutrient cycle in the seaweed beds of Gouqi Island.

      Abstract:In summer of 2008, green tides broke out in south Yellow Sea.First,the nutrition of floating algae was analyzed and then the algae were treated by sulphuric acid for getting reducing sugar. The effects of temperature(℃), treating time(min), sulphuric acid concentration(%), ratio of mass weight(%)on the biomass hydrolyzation were studied and the hydrolysis conditions were optimized by orthogonal analysis. The results showed that optimum conditions for floating Ulva prolifera biomass hydrolysis by sulphuric acid were 90 ℃ of treating temperature, 70 min of treating time, 5% of sulphuric acid concentration, 4.5% of ratio of the mass weight. Liquid chromatography analysis showed that the molar ratio of monosaccharides in hydrolyzate were glucose 1.71∶xylose 1.00∶rhamnose 1.29. Growth curves of five yeasts(IwSc1,S1,S2,1770,1766) were drawn in order to ferment the liquid at stationary phase.The results showed that S2 was the best for getting highest ethanol concentration with GC analysis. The ethanol concentration was 2.1 g/L and the ethanol conversion rate was 26%.Glucose concentration dropped from 18.26 g/L to 2.38 g/L and the utilization rate of it was 87%. S1, S2 and IwSc1 mainly use glucose compared with 1770,1766 which can use both glucose and xylose.

    • Comparison and analyses of inactivation kinetics models for microwave inactivation of two foodborne pathogens in liquid food containing fruit particles

      Abstract:In order to describe microbial death kinetics under microwave treatment, the sugar solution with orange particles was used as the research material. As the sample, Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes were suspended in sugar solution with orange particles. Two samples were exposed to microwave at 800W for 40 s, the bactericidal effect was evaluated. Linear, Weibull, log-logistic and Dose-Response functions were used to model survival curves of two pathogens in sample. The results showed that a treatment of 800W for 40s reduced the counts of Escherichia coli by 2.5 log10 and Listeria monocytogenes by 3.5 log10. Since the thermal sensitivity of two foodborne pathogens is different, the death rates of two foodborne pathogens were different in sterilization process. Both the survival curves showed a slow initial drop in bacterial counts followed by rapid drop when the treatment temperature to 60 ℃, the last tailing tail was caused by a diminishing inactivation rate. First order kinetic model can not be used to describe the law of microbial death under microwave sterilization. Weibull model, Log-Logistics Model and Dose-Response model all can better fit the inactivation of microorganisms. However, five model parameters were used for evaluating the stand or fall of model, the comparison of these indices indicates that Dose-Response model consistently produced better fits to inactivation data of Listeria monocytogenes than others. And Log-Logistic model had better fitting degree for Escherichia coli than others.

      Abstract:Two κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides were prepared by acidic degradation. Then the maleyol derivatives (MA,MB) were synthesized with maleyol anhydride, respectively. The products were characterized by FTIR, the molecular weights (4 350, 4 540) were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) method, and the substituting degrees (0.61, 0.44) were determined by colorimetry method. Their antioxidant activities were evaluated by the scavenging of superoxide anion, 1,1diphenyl2picrylhrazyl radicals (DPPH), H2O2 and reducing power. The 50% inhibition concentrations (IC50s) against superoxide anion of MA and MB were 0.441 and 0.489 mmol/L, respectively. As for DPPH radical scavenging, the IC50s of MA and MB were 0.101 and 0.273 mmol/L, respectively. The IC50against H2O2 of MA was 0.052 mmol/L, MB failed to achieve halfinhibition in the test concentration. At a concentration of 0.5 mmol/L, and the absorbance of MA and MB was 0.894 and 0.487, respectively. The results indicated that MA showed better antioxidant activities than MB. The maleyol derivatives with higher substituting degrees have better antioxidant activity. It may be related to the nature of substituting group. In this paper, the relationship between the substituting degrees of the acylated κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides and their antioxidant activities was first reported. This research will be helpful to expand their applications in biomedicine.

      Abstract (3200) HTML (0) PDF 1014.23 K (2921) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Constructing the socialist harmonious society is a strategic mission, raised by Hu Jintao, the generalsecretary of the Party Central Committee, due to the fact of our country's socialist development. Harmony among people is the basis of harmonious society. Socialist harmonious society is the society of democratic rule of law, equity and justice, honesty and fraternity, vigor and vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature. Harmony between the government and citizens gives expression to the essence of harmonious society, and it is the key to the construction of harmonious society. Harmony between the government and citizens refers to the trust and cooperation, the consummation of the winwin, intimate relationship. Since the reform and openingup policy started to be carried out 30 years ago, the relationship of officers and public in our country is mostly harmonious. The Communist Party of China has been in office for a long time and has gained great achievements, but meanwhile something disharmonious occurred as well. If we don’t pay attention to improving and changing it, the circumstance will influence the construction of the harmonious society. In the process of the construction of harmonious society, we should attach importance to the opinion expressed by people, increase interest coordination, make all the people share the achievements of reform and development, continuously improve political style and party’s work style, promote the reform of political system and people’s political identity, mise people’s status in political life, so as to improve the relationship of government and citizen in order to promote social harmony.

    • Research on Deng Xiaoping’s three criteria’ relation

      2011, 20(1):155-159.

      Abstract (11199) HTML (0) PDF 851.06 K (5309) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Deng Xiaoping advocated three criteria. Practice is the only criterion to test truth. There are two criteria:public ownership is the main part and common prosperity to judge socialism.He also put forward ‘three favors ’criterion. Practice criterion is the basis for quality criterion and value criterion, quality criterion and value criterion turn into one unity in practice. We must deal with their relations. There exist some phenomena sometimes in some places, for example, to substitute quality criterion for value criterion, to dissimilate value criterion and distort quality criterion,to emphasize quality criterion affecting value criterion, to substitute value criterion for quality criterion. All these phenomena deal with the practice criterion. To sum up the experience, we must realize and handle the relations among them. We must stick to practice criterion, deepen the knowledge about value criterion and quality criterion, try to find rule for development, and enhance socialism with Chinese characteristics.
