The research was carried out to establish HPLC fingerprints of Tibetan medicinal herb "Songdi" (Saxifraga umbellulata var. pectinata), and to provide reference for identification an quality control of it. It was performed on an Amethyst-C18-P (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) column with the mobile phase of methanol-0.4% formic acid in a linear gradient mode at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The column temperature was 30 degrees C, and the detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. The software for chromatographic fingerprint was applied to analyse the pattern analysis, the common peaks and similarity. Cluster analysis was done based on the common peaks data of 33 samples from different plant species and sources by SPSS software. Ten common chromatographic peaks were identified by fingerprint, showing a low similarity in constituent and variety. Flavonoids and saponins were the principal components. The number and area of peaks were affected by the collection sources and method. The high similarity are showed by the samples derived from the same area with high accuracy and high purity. The method is so simple, exclusive, stable and high repeatable that it can provide reference for identification and quality assessment of "Songdi" (S. umbellulata var. pectinata).

Gene deletion vector pLJ04(pKC1139∷bkdF+bkdH)was used to disrupt bkdFGH in Streptomyces avermitilis 76-02-e,an industrial producer of anthelmintic avermectin.The disruptants were confirmed by PCR.Shake flask experiment and HPLC analysis showed that the mutant lost the ability to produce avermectins.As it is expected,the mutant,named S.avermitilis bkd76-3,could restore the ability of producing avermectins when the feeding of methylbutyric acid and isobutyric acid to its fermentations was carried out.The addition of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid(CHC)into fermentations of the S.avermitilis bkd76-3 allowed for production of four components,two of which was confirmed as CHC-B1 and CHC-A2 by LC/MS analysis,respectively.
