SUMMARYThe effects of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, either inactivated (by osmotic pressure, designated IY) or provided as a culture containing live yeast cells (YC), on ruminal fermentation of two different diets were investigated in vitro. Total mixed rations (TMR) having forage:concentrate ratios of 0·6:0·4 (medium–high forage diet) and 0·2:0·8 (low-forage diet) were incubated in batch cultures of mixed ruminal micro-organisms to which either IY (to reach concentrations of 500 and 250 mg product/l incubation medium) or YC (at a concentration of 150 mg product/l) were added directly as powder. To evaluate the effects of the additive on ruminal microbial population, sheep used as donors of rumen fluid were allocated to three experimental groups: Control (no additive), IY and YC, that received a diet with the corresponding additive for 10 days. With both diets, YC decreased ruminal pH compared to control, whereas IY had no effect. Adding yeast products to the high-fibre diet affected total volatile fatty acid (VFA) production and VFA composition, in general with a slight increase in IY and a significantly greater increase in response to the addition of YC. Ammonia nitrogen (P=0·006), total gas production (P<0·001) and in vitro dry matter disappearance (IVD) (P<0·001) showed the highest values with YC. Methane production was higher than the control when the IY inoculum was used, and increased even more with the YC inoculum (P<0·001). With the high-concentrate TMR, no effects on total VFA concentration were observed when yeast additives were used. Similar trends were shown for lactate and methane production and total gas production, where values tended to be higher when using the YC inoculum (P values of 0·055, <0·001, 0·006 and <0·001, respectively). After 144 h of incubation, differences were observed only with the high-fibre diet in the cumulative gas production at 24 h of incubation and in the average fermentation rate, which was greater with YC, although the asymptotic gas production was not affected. These results indicate that live yeasts affect ruminal fermentation slightly more than inactivated yeasts, although both products require a regular administration and some adaptation of the ruminal microbial population for the stimulatory effects to become apparent. The effects of yeasts on ruminal fermentation are diet-dependent, being more noticeable with a high-fibre substrate, and subtle with a high-concentrate diet.

Multi Mode

We have developed a multi-mode digital imaging system which acquires images with a cooled CCD camera (Figure 1). A multiple band pass dichromatic mirror and robotically controlled filter wheels provide wavelength selection for epi-fluorescence. Shutters select illumination either by epi-fluorescence or by transmitted light for phase contrast or DIC. Many of our experiments involve investigations of spindle assembly dynamics and chromosome movements in live cells or unfixed reconstituted preparations in vitro in which photodamage and phototoxicity are major concerns. As a consequence, a major factor in the design was optical efficiency: achieving the highest image quality with the least number of illumination photons. This principle applies to both epi-fluorescence and transmitted light imaging modes. In living cells and extracts, microtubules are visualized using X-rhodamine labeled tubulin. Photoactivation of C2CF-fluorescein labeled tubulin is used to locally mark microtubules in studies of microtubule dynamics and translocation. Chromosomes are labeled with DAPI or Hoechst DNA intercalating dyes.

Az utóbbi években egyre több tanulmány született a mikroorganizmusok nehézfém akkumulációjáról. A mikroszervezetek nehézfémekkel szembeni tűrőképességére és nehézfém felvételére a bioremediációs hasznosíthatóságuk miatt egyre nagyobb figyelmet fordítanak. A mikroorganizmusok tulajdonságai nagyon jól hasznosíthatóak a talajszennyezés monitorozásánál. A toxikus nehézfémek komoly ökológiai problémát jelentenek környezetünkben, ezért kiemelkedő fontosságú a nehézfémekkel szennyezett talajok tisztítása. In vitro , két S. cerevisiae törzs (NSS5099 és NSS7002) nehézfémekkel szembeni toleranciáját vizsgáltuk. A két törzs szaporodási kinetikáját olyan táptalajon tanulmányoztuk, amelyhez 50 µM koncentrációban adtunk Cu 2+ -, Pb 2+ -, Cd 2+ - vagy Ni 2+ -ionokat. A vizsgált nehézfémek élesztőtörzsekre gyakorolt toxicitása csökkenő sorrendben: Cu 2+ > Pb 2+ > Cd 2+ > Ni 2+ . A 350 µM koncentrációjú Cu 2+ , Pb 2+ vagy Cd 2+ és 450 µM koncentrációjú Ni 2+ 48 órás inkubációt követően 50%-kal csökkentette az élősejtek számát. Amikor a nehézfémek táptalajba történő adagolása előtt 50 mM Ca(HCO 3 ) 2 , 75 mM MgSO 4 , vagy 150 mM K 2 SO 4 -ot adtunk a közeghez csökkent a nehézfémek sejtekre gyakorolt toxicitása, és több sejt maradt életben. A 350 és 450 µM koncentrációban lévő nehézfémek toxicitását a fémsók 40%-kal csökkentették. A kapott eredmények alapján az NSS7002 törzs sokkal alkalmasabbnak bizonyult a nehézfémekkel szennyezett talajok tisztítására, mint az NSS5099._
