[Objective] The aim was to select suitable gene for Chlorella identification and to identify the oil-producing microalgae.[Method] Four candidate gene sequences,the nuclear genomic rDNA of the 18S rRNA gene,internal transcribed spacer（ITS）,internal transcribed spacer Ⅱ（ITS Ⅱ）and the chloroplast rbcL gene,were selected for Chlorella molecular identification.Through these four candidate genes,the genetic variability and distinguish ability between intra-species and inter-species was analyzed to choose the right genes for identification of the high oil-content Chlorella.On this basis,application of these gene segments were classified and identified for five fresh-water isolated Chlorella,which oil-content is more than 30%.[Result] ITS gene was a suitable gene because of its high variation and short fragment length,meanwhile its genetic distance intra-species（0.439 6±0.135 9）was larger than inter-species（0.045 7±0.084 3）.Its sequence length varied between different species whereas highly conserved in the same species.By the application of ITS sequences,respectively,five high oil-content stains were identified as one C.vulgaris,two strains of C.sorokiniana and two strains of algae Chlorella sp.[Conclusion] This study had provided reference for the establishment of identification gene pool of Chlorella.
[Objective] The aim of the study was to determine whether phytotoxicity of TeA against Echinochloa crus-galli leaves was correlated with oxidative stress caused by generation of reactive oxygen and the changes of antioxidant enzymes activity.[Method] The changes of malondialdehyde（MDA）content,hydrogen peroxide（H2O2）,and activities of superoxide dismutase（SOD）,glutathione reductase（GR）and catalase（CAT）were studied by leaf segment method in vitro.[Result] After the treatment of 500 μmol/L TeA,the content of MDA and H2O2 increased by 247.86% and 67.00%,respectively,indicating that the accumulation of MDA and H2O2 in E.crus-galli leaves was due to the reactive oxygen burst induced by TeA.TeA induced a significant increase in activities of SOD,GR and CAT.At 500 μmol/L TeA,activities of SOD,GR and CAT increased more than one fold compared with the control.[Conclusion] TeA could not only cause oxidative stress in leaves of E.crus-galli through the induction of reactive oxygen,but also induce the increasing of antioxidant enzyme activity.
