ABSTRACT
Objective:In order to investigate the genetic diversity of mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cytb) gene of Taenia asiatica ( T. asiatica) in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture (Dali Prefecture), Yunnan Province. Methods:From May 2019 to August 2021, a total of 131 samples of Taenia were collected from patients admitted to the Dali Prefecture Institute of Schistosomiasis Control, involving five locations (i.e., five groups), including Dali City (58 samples), Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County (Weishan County, 14 samples), Midu County (18 samples), Yangbi Yi Autonomous County (Yangbi County, 24 samples) and Eryuan County (17 samples). Primers were designed based on mitochondrial Cytb gene sequence, and part of the Cytb gene sequence was amplified by PCR, then sequenced and homology comparisons were performed. MEGA 7.0 and DNASP 5.10.01 were used to analyze the measured sequence, and data such as base composition, genetic distance, genetic diversity parameters, genetic differentiation index and gene flow were obtained. Results:The amplified fragments of Cytb gene in 131 samples of Taenia were 235 bp. After homology comparisons, they were all T. asiatica. The average contents of A, T, G and C bases were 23.8%, 42.3%, 24.0% and 9.9%, respectively. Of the 131 samples of T. asiatica, 12 haplotypes were defined. The haplotype diversity and nucleic acid diversity were 0.295 9 and 0.006 0, respectively. The ranges of genetic differentiation index and gene flow among the five groups were-0.053 00 to 0.050 40 and 4.710 31 to 162.087 66, respectively. The genetic distance between the five groups ranged from 0.003 5 to 0.009 0, of which the genetic distance between Midu County and Weishan County was the largest, and the genetic distance between Dali City and Yangbi County was the smallest. Conclusions:The mitochondrial Cytb gene of T. asiatica in Dali Prefecture has rich genetic diversity. There is frequent gene exchange among the five groups, and no significant genetic differentiation has been formed.
ABSTRACT
AIM To study the chemical constituents from the mycelia of Hypomyces sp. METHODS Silica gel column chromatography was employed for the isolation and purification. The structure of compound 1 was elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis. RESULTS and CONCLUSION A new perylenequinone, named hypomycin B 1, was isolated from the mycelia of Hypomyces sp.
ABSTRACT
Object To study the chemical constituents in the mycelia of Hypomyces sp Methods The mycelia were extracted with acetone and the chemical constituents of the extract were isolated and purified on silica gel column Chemical and spectral methods were used to determine the structures of the isolated compounds Results Five compounds were obtained and identified as: hypocrellin A (Ⅰ),hypocrellin C (Ⅱ), elsinochrome C (Ⅲ), 1 phenazinecarboxylic acid (Ⅳ), and 1,8 dihydroxy 9,10 anthraquinone (Ⅴ) Conclusion Compounds Ⅱ～Ⅴ were obtained from the mycelia of Hypomyces sp for the first time
