Lovastatin một loại thuốc thuộc nhóm statin và được sử dụng để hạ cholesterol. Lovastatin cũng được sử dụng điều trị bệnh tim mạch vành, bệnh Alzheimer và các bệnh về xương,…. Nấm Asperillus terreus được xem là một trong những nguồn tổng hợp lovastatin, trong quá trình tổng hợp lovastatin chịu ảnh hưởng của nhiều yếu tố sinh học và phi sinh học. Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm đánh giá ảnh hưởng của các yếu tố đến quá trình sản xuất lovastatin từ nấm bằng phương pháp lên men bán rắn. Các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến quá trình lên men từ nấm Asperillus terreus EV8 như cơ chất, pH, nguồn carbon, nguồn nitrogen và thời gian lên men được đánh giá. Hàm lượng lovastatin được xác định bằng phương pháp đo quang ở bước sóng λ=238 nm. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy, nấm Asperillus terreus EV8 sản xuất lovastatin tốt nhất dưới điều kiện như cơ chất (gạo trắng), pH môi trường (pH = 6), nguồn carbon (glucose 5 g/L), nguồn nitrogen (pepton 5 g/L) và thời gian lên men (8 ngày), hàm lượng lovastatin đạt 4,66 mg/g. ABSTRACT Lovastatin is a drug belonging to statin group and is used to reduce cholesterol. Lovastatin is also applied to treat coronary heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and bone diseases. Asperillus terreus is considered as one of the potential sources of lovastatin, but the lovastatin synthesis process affected by various biological and abiotic factors. The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of factors on the production of lovastatin from this type of fungi by solid state fermentation method. The effect of factors on the production of lovastatin from Asperillus terreus EV8 as substrates, pH of medium, carbon source, nitrogen and fermentation time were investigated. Lovastatin assay was determined by spectrophotometer at 328 nm. The results showed that Asperillus terreus EV8 strains produced lovastatin under conditions as substrates (rice), pH of medium (pH = 6), carbon source (glucose 5 g/L), nitrogen source (peptone 5 g/L) and fermentation time (8 days) and the amount of lovastatin reaches 4.66 mg/g.

This paper is to propose a method of ecological carbon sink regionalization in the view of GHG (greenhouse gas) emission reduction, which could provide scientific theory basis for development and utilization of urban land resources, ecological environment construction, biodiversity conservation, the industry layout and formulation of the regional sustainable development strategy. Based on the existing researches foundation, this study takes Shenzhen as a typical case to put forward a method for carbon sink regionalization of urban land use with further quantitative evaluation of ecosystem carbon storage (density), carbon sources/sinks function and carbon sink potential of Shenzhen city. The results show that: Shenzhen ecological carbon sink is regionalized into six categories 55 regions, including 15 intensive carbon sink regions, 17 medium carbon sink regions, 10 weak carbon sink regions, 4 carbon neutral regions, 5 medium carbon source regions and 4 intensive carbon source regions.

Surface sterilization is most important step in plant tissue culture protocol. In the present investigation, an attempt was made to eliminate microbial and fungal contaminants from the surface and interior of plant material, thus obtaining axenic culture with highest survival rate. Sequential surface sterilizations of hypocotyl, leaf, shoot tip and mature node were carried out to investigate its effectiveness in controlling surface contamination with satisfactory survival of explants. Combination of different surfactant were used for surface sterilization treatments. The least contamination was obtained when hypocotyl explants were treated with 200 ppm cefotaxime and 500 ppm carbendazim along with 0.1% HgCl2 with best survival percentage. Treatments consisting of alcohol treatment, carbendazim (2000 ppm) followed by 1000 ppm cefotaxime, 500 ppm kanamycin, 2% sodium hypochloride and 0.1% HgCl2 sequentially resulted in complete elimination of surface contaminants from shoot tip, soft node and hard node obtained from field grown mature tree. Optimal elimination of bioburden from young leaf (77.38%) were obtained using 1000 ppm carbendazim, 500 ppm cefotaxime, 500 ppm kanamycin and 0.1% HgCl2. Gentamicin used in the medium was able to control the endophytic bacterial bioburden completely in the first cycle of 15 days itself at higher concentration of 96 mol/l to remove endophytic bacterial contamination with out effecting plant growth.
