By the method of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), this paper studied the hydrolysis characteristics of enrofloxacin under conditions of different pH, light, and microorganism to assess its ecological risk. The results showed that no ciprofloxacin was found in the hydrolyzed products of enrofloxacin. Under the conditions of 50 degrees C and pH 1 - 10, the hydrolyzation rate of enrofloxacin was less than 10% within 5 days. The half-life of enrofloxacin was longer than one year at normal temperature and in dark, and buffer's pH had no significant effects on the hydrolysis of enrofloxacin. The degradation of enrofloxacin in natural water was strongly affected by light. Under outdoor natural light condition, enrofloxacin degraded quickly and was not examined after 3 days; while under indoor natural light condition, it degraded slowly, with the degradation rate being 48%, 72% and 65% after 31 days when its initial concentration in water was 0.05, 0.2 and 1.0 mg x L(-1), respectively. Enrofloxacin was very steady in dark, and microorganisms had no significant effects on its degradation. Owing its rapid degradation under outdoor natural light condition, enrofloxacin might have no direct harmfulness to aquatic ecosystem, but its potential ecological risk should not be neglected once entering into aquatic ecosystem, especially in bottom mud.

Branch-point syntheses in nonribosomal peptide assembly are rare but useful strategies to generate tripodal peptides with advantageous hexadentate iron-chelating capabilities, as seen in siderophores. However, the chemical logic underlying the peptide branching by nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) often remains complex and elusive. Here, we review the common strategies for the biosynthesis of branched nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) and present our biochemical investigation on the NRPS-catalyzed assembly of fimsbactin A, a branched mixed-ligand siderophore produced by the human pathogenic strain .

Phycobilisomes (PBS) are the major photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes in cyanobacteria and red algae. While the structures of PBS have been determined in atomic resolutions, how PBS are attached to the reaction centers of photosystems remains less clear. Here, we report that a linker protein (LcpA) is required for the attachment of PBS to photosystem II (PSII) in the cyanobacterium sp.

Photosynthetic microbes have evolved and successfully adapted to the ever-changing environmental conditions in complex microhabitats throughout almost all ecosystems on Earth. In the absence of light, they can sustain their biological functionalities through aerobic respiration, and even in anoxic conditions through anaerobic metabolic activity. For a suspension of photosynthetic microbes in an anaerobic environment, individual cellular motility is directly controlled by its photosynthetic activity, i.

Light serves as an energy source for cell division and expansion during fruit development. Cell expansion significantly influences fruit size and is closely linked to endoreduplication, a unique cell cycle variation characterized by DNA replication without cytokinesis. Paradoxically, under conditions of ample photosynthates, light signaling suppresses cell expansion.

Creation and long-term in vitro maintenance of valuable genotype collection is one of the modern approach to conservation of valuable gene pool of woody plants. However, during prolonged cultivation, genetic variability of cells and tissues may accumulate and lead to the loss of valuable characteristics of parental plants. It is therefore important to assess the genetic (including cytogenetic) stability of collection clones.
