ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#To establish a diatom database by analyzing the quatity, species distribution and differences of diatom in water samples of the whole navigable sections of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, to provide a reference for the inference of the drowning site.@*METHODS@#Water samples were collected at 22 sites in the navigable sections of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (Jining section to Yangzhou Section), and the diatoms at each site were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by using graphite digestion-scanning electron microscopy.@*RESULTS@#Sampling site T (Laohuaijiang River Line, Gaoyou City, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province) had the highest number of diatoms, while sampling site O (Siyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province) had the lowest number of diatoms, with a large gap of 68 times. At sampling site Q (Jiangpu District, Huaian city, Jiangsu Province), there were 19 species of diatoms. The sampling site O had the least diatoms, with 7 species. There were no significant differences in species evenness and species diversity at each sampling site (P>0.05). Some sampling sites have characterized diatoms, such as Caloneis at station A (Taibai Lake, Weishan County, Shandong Province), Rhoicosphenia at station B (Nanyang Town, Weishan County, Shandong Province), Amphora at station I (Taierzhuang District, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province) and Epithemia at station J (Pizhou 310 national highway, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The species richness of diatoms gradually increased from north to south. Diatom species richness and species diversity might be higher in areas with complex environments and large population flow. Climate type has a certain influence on the distribution of diatoms.

ABSTRACT

A water-soluble heteropolysaccharide was isolated and purified from Enteromorpha prolifera by DEAE-52 and Bio-Gel P-2 column chromatography. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure of E. prolifera polysaccharide degradation (EPP-1). Its anti-oxidative activity was determined in Caenorhabditis elegans via modulation of microRNAs. The average molecular weight of EPP-1 was 4.28 kDa. It contained six types of linkage units as →2)-ß-d-GlcpA-(1→, →3,6)-ß-d-Manp-(1→, →4)-α-d-Glcp-(1→, →6)-ß-d-Galp-(1→, ß-l-Rhap-(1→, and →4)-ß-d-GalpA-(1→. The mean lifespan, ultraviolet-induced oxidative stress, and thermotolerance in C. elegans were improved after treatment of EPP-1. Moreover, EPP-1 significantly increased the total superoxide dismutase levels and decreased the malondialdehyde levels in C. elegans. Intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and DNA damage were ameliorated by up-regulation of SKN-1 and DAF-16 expression through miR-48 and miR-51 miR-186 down-regulation. In vivo studies demonstrated that EPP-1 might be applied in functional foods as the antioxidative and anti-ageing ingredient.

ABSTRACT

Many delicious and nutritional macrofungi are widely distributed and used in East Asian regions, considered as edible and medicinal foods. In this study, 11 species of dried and fresh, edible and medicinal macrofungi, Ganoderma amboinense, Agaricus subrufescens, Dictyophora indusiata, Pleurotus sajor-caju, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus geesteranu, Hericium erinaceus, Stropharia rugosoannulata, Pleurotus sapidus, Antrodia camphorata, and Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing, were investigated to determine the content of their nutritional components, including proteins, fat, carbohydrates, trace minerals, coarse cellulose, vitamins, and amino acids. The amino acid patterns and similarity of macrofungi were distinguished through principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analyses, respectively. A total of 103 metabolic small molecules of macrofungi were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and were aggregated by heatmap. Moreover, the macrofungi were classified by principal component analysis based on these metabolites. The results show that carbohydrates and proteins are two main components, as well as the nutritional ingredients, that differ among various species and varied between fresh and dried macrofungi. The amino acid patterns in L. edodes and A. subrufescens were different compared with that of the other tested mushrooms.
