    Fungi play a significant role in biology-related domains,and with the molecular biology technology advancing,identification of fungi at molecular level and verification of genetic transformant has become the necessary step of test. By far,however,there is no ideal high-throughput molecular identification method.In this paper,a high-throughput device was designed,and a novel PCR-mediated molecular identification method suitable for the device was developed. Through cloning of cellulase encoding genes and regulatory genes on the genome of Trichoderma reesei,cloning of promoter of phosphoglycerate kinase gene 1 and xylanase encoding genes on the genome and expression vector of Saccharomyces cerevisiae,and ITS sequences cloning and RAPD analysis of T. reesei,S. cerevisiae,Penicillium oxalicum,Rhizopus stolonifer,Aspergillus niger,A. carbonarius and A. japonicas,the method turned out to be an effective one with wide application potential.The establishment of the method has worked out the bottleneck of high-throughput molecular identification.

    Shi Yanping;Huang Jinfa;Ni Xiongwei;Xie Jianping;Ren Jiajia;

    Feed and corresponding manure samples were collected from 27 scale pig farms and 7 scale chicken farms in Jiaxing City,Zhejiang Province,and their heavy metal contents were analyzed. The weighted average values of Cr,Cu,Zn,Pb and As in pig feed were 4. 6,123. 4,370. 7,0. 69 and 6. 9 mg/kg,respectively. However,referred to Safe Use Specification of Feed Additives and MOA Announcement No. 1224,the exceeding standards rates of Cr,Cu,Zn,Pb and As in pig feed were 5. 36%,62. 5%,19. 64%,3. 57% and 37. 5%,respectively. The sequences of heavy metal content in pig feed successively were piglet > growing pig > big pig > sow,but the exceeding standard rates of heavy metal in feed were big pig > sow > growing pig > piglet,and the exceeding standard rate of big pig feed was more than 95%. The exceeding standard rates of Cu,Zn and As in chicken feed were 46. 7%,11. 1% and 33. 3% respectively. Based on Organic Fertilizer( NY525-2012) and Sludge Agricultural Pollution Control Standard( GB4284-84),Cu,Zn and As in pig manure and chicken manure exceeded the standard; the exceeding standard rates of pig manure were 71. 9%,78. 9% and 42. 1%,while that of chicken manure were 12. 5%,25. 0% and 44. 4%,respectively. The exceeding standard rates of Cu and Zn in piglet manure reached 100%. There were very significant positive correlations in Cu,Zn and As between pig feed and corresponding manure,or Hg,Cu and As between chicken feed and corresponding manure,and the correlation coefficients r~2 were greater than 0. 8. Besides,the correlation coefficient r~2 of Pb between pig feed and corresponding manure was above 0. 6. Continuous and high intensity of livestock manure application significantly promoted the accumulation of heavy metal in farmland soil,but the effects on heavy metal accumulation in rice was not significant.

    Hu Yinong;Ding Qian;Ji Hongjun;Wang Xiaoxiao;Zhu Zhenkun;Zhao Qingshun;

    Suzhong swine is a hybrid breed derived from Taihu sows and Landrace boars. To identify Suzhong swine individuals and trace the source of pork products,single nucleotide polymorphisms( SNPs) identification of Suzhong swine individuals was studied. A total of 29 pairs of primers were designed and seven pairs of primers were used for identification of Suzhong swine individuals. The products amplified by seven pairs of primers could be directly sequenced,with clean sequencing map background and no ambiguity in sequence read. Totally 52 SNPs loci were amplified by seven pairs of primers,and 41 SNPs loci were reserved for identification of Suzhong swine individuals through correlation analysis and heterozygosity filtration( H≥0. 1). Meantime,the digital barcodes for SNP identification of 96 individuals of Suzhong swine derived from seven boars and 12 sows were developed,which well distinguished 96 individuals of Suzhong swine. Theoretically,41 SNPs amplified by seven pairs of primers could be used for identification of 5. 0 × 10~6 pig individuals. Therefore,digital barcode development method for SNP identification of Suzhong swine individuals can be used for individual identification of Suzhong swine in scale pig farm and meat product traceability.

    Xu Wenjuan;Hu Yan;Song Chi;Song Weitao;Shan Yanju;Chen Wenfeng;Li Huifang;

    A new method for detecting the sequence differences of duck Chromo-helicase-DNA-Binding 1( CHD1) genes on sex chromosomes Z and W was established by amplifying DNA fragment length poly morphism,which aimed to solve some technical problems,such as the sex identification with nondamage,the misclassifc rate of artificial sex identification during embryonic period,and the injury caused by anal reversal identification method during neonatal period. The improved sex identification method was developed by DNA amplified fragment length polymorphism by using CHD1 gene sequence in bird. The sex identification PCR primers YPF/YPR were used,and the PCR product was cloned,sequenced and blasted; and the effectiveness and accuracy of this method were verified through living examples. 2% agarose gel electrophoresis was used to distinguish 495 bp CHD1-Z and 351 bp CHD1-W obtained by primer YPF/YPR. The female( ZW) displayed two visible bands; while male( ZZ) had only one single band. It was proved that this method for detecting the sequence differences of duck CHD1 gene was visual and reliable,and the molecular marker provided was effective and precise in the sex molecular biological identification of domesticated duck in China.

  • Comparison of DPPH Scavenging Ability of Flavonoid and Polysaccharide from Dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum)

    Huang Dan;Gu Ying;

    The paper was to study DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrobenzene hydrazine) scavenging ability of different concentrations of flavonoid and polysaccharide from dandelion. Flavonoids were extracted from dandelion using alcohol precipitation ultrasonic extraction method and polysaccharide was extracted using water ultrasonic extraction method. DPPH free radical scavenging ability of flavonoid and polysaccharide was determined using ultraviolet spectrophotometer method.The difference in DPPH free radical scavenging ability between flavonoids and polysaccharide was analyzed statistically. The results showed that DPPH scavenging ability was the best when the concentration of flavonoid was 1. 6 mg/m L; the scavenge rate was up to 96. 11% and IC50(median inhibitory concentration of inhibitors) was 0. 38 mg/m L. DPPH scavenging ability was the best when the concentration of polysaccharide was 1. 4 mg/m L; the scavenge rate was 89. 33%and IC50 was 0. 51 mg/m L. Statistical results showed that there were significant differences in DPPH free radical scavenging ability between dandelion flavonoid and polysaccharide( P < 0. 05). Flavonoid had significantly higher scavenging ability than polysaccharide( P < 0. 05). The study lays a theoretical foundation for further research on dandelion flavonoid,and provides a theoretical basis for development and utilization of dandelion resources.

  • Temperature Regulation Effect of Desert Vegetation in Minqin Desert Area

    Chang Zhaofeng;Zhang Xiaojuan;Wang Qi;Zhang Dekui;Duan Xiaofeng;Shi Xuegang;

    [Objective] The paper was to study the effects of desert vegetation on temperature regulation and stabilization in desert area. [Method] The survey data of quadrats in five kinds of plant communities in Minqin desert area were preliminarily estimated. [Result] Desert vegetation had the ecological functions of regulating desert temperature and stabilizing sharp increase of temperature,especially the irreplaceable ecological function of slowing down sandstorm each spring in northwest China compared to physical sand-fixation measures. The air humidity in forest region was relatively large,and the climate was more stable. The climate in desert area was dry,with intense changes in air temperature. Although the solar radiation utilization rate of desert vegetation per unit area in Minqin oasis fringe was 5. 8% of that of 100% coverage vegetation,it had non-ignorable significance in regulating temperature of local desert. Regulating temperature was one of the ecological functions of desert vegetation. Previous studies only considered wind proof and sand-fixation functions of desert vegetation,but ignored its temperature regulation effect,and this was the ecological function of vegetation sand control different from physical sand-fixation measures such as sand barrier. [Conclusion]It has important theoretical guiding significance and practical use value for prevention and control of desertification by studying ecological function of desert plants/vegetation.

  • Biological Effects of Nutrient Nualgi on the Water Ecological Environment in Culture Pond

    Li Gu;Mao Mengzhe;Li Xiaoli;Tao Ling;Gao Maolin;

    In order to study the short-term effects of Nualgi on water quality and phytoplankton in fishpond,we conducted continuous and regular surveys on the phytoplankton community and the water quality indexes in four groups. The four groups were a Nualgi group( M_1 ),a diatom group(M2),a Nualgi and diatom group( M_3 ),and a control group(C). The results showed that there were no significance differences in p H,dissolved oxygen(DO),total nitrogen(TN) and total phosphorus( TP) among the four groups. The IP concentration of groups M_1 and M_3 was significantly lower than that of groups M_2 and C,indicating that Nualgi can reduce the IP concentration of water. The concentrations of NH~+4-N,NO_2~--N and COD_(Mn) of groups M_1 ,M_2 and M_3 were significantly lower than those of group C,suggesting that both Nualgi and dominant diatom species can adjust water quality by reducing the concentrations of NH~+4-N,NO_2~--N and COD_(Mn). In this test,we identified 186 species that belonged to 109 genera of seven phyla. Among them,86 species were Chlorophyta,48 were Bacillariophyta,27 were Cyanophyta,17 were Euglenophyta,three were Dinophyta,three were Cryptophyta and two were Chrysophyta. Both diatom species and Nualgi can promote the growth of Bacillariophyta,restrain the growth of Chlorophyta and Cyanophyta,and thus change phytoplankton community structure. The biomass of Bacillariophyta in groups M_1 ,M_2 and M_3 was larger than that in group C from the 20 ~(th) d of the experiment,while the biomasses of Chlorophyta and Cyanophyta were lower than that in group C. Melosira granulata became the dominant algae species in groups M_1 ,M_2 and M_3 ,while Coelastrum microporum and Crucigenia tetrapedia were the dominant algae species in group Conly. Scenedesmus quadricauda became the dominant algae in groups M_1 ,M_2 and C. There was no remarkable difference in diversity index among the four groups. The Shannon-Wiener index in all the four groups were all above 2. 00,suggesting that the addition of Nualgi or diatom species did not affect the species diversity in this experiment.
