Microbiology 1992;0(05):-
A simple method for in vitro production of sporangia by Phytophthora boehmeriae causing cotton boll blight in China was developed, and a method for dilution of zoospore suspensions was presented as well, Large amounts of sporangia were obtained when mycelial mats, produced from Potato extract-Dextrose Liquid (PDL) or Bean extract-Dextrose Liquid (BDL) at 24 ℃ for 48—72 hr ,were rinsed with Mineral Salt Solution (MSS) four times at 20—22℃ for 10—12 h with continuous fluorescent light (cool white), and incubated for additional 12 h after drained off MSS. Darkness favored oospore whereas suppressed sporangial production by P. boehmeriae. BDB is superior to PDB in the production of oospores and sporangia by P. boehmeriae as evidenced by the amount of sporangia or oospores and in particular the fact that the color change of mycelial mats from light orange to purple was synchronous with the sporulation of P. boehmeriae. Tris-succinate buffer(pH6.8, 5.0mmol/L, TSB) was the quantitatively excellent diluent for preserving motility of zoospores of P. boehmeriae in the dilution process.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the T3394C mutation of the mitoehondrial DNA ND1 gene and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the elderly. MethodsDirect sequencing of PCR product was applied to study the T3394C mutation of mitochondrial DNA in 340 unrelated individuals in T2DM patients (90 cases of elderly patients, 250 cases of non-elderly patients) and 265 normal controls (130 cases of elderly controls, 135 cases of non-elderly controls) from Zhejiang province. The mutation was analyzed by DNASTAR and Antheprot 5.0 softwares. ResultsThe T3394C mutation of mitochondrial DNA was found in 5 of 90 elderly T2DM patients (5.6%),1 of 130 elderly controls(0.8%), and 2 of 250 non-elderly T2DM patients (0.8%). The incidence of the mutation was significantly different between the elderly T2DM patients and elderly controls(P<0.05), as well as between the elderly T2DM patients and non-elderly T2DM patients(P<0.05). The T3394C mutation caused the change of the ND1 protein secondary structure. ConclusionsThe T3394C mutation of the mitochondrial DNA ND1 gene may contribute to the pathogenesis of T2DM in the elderly with other genetic and environment factors.
