Research Abstract |
A gross culture system for microcystis (cyanobactera) has been developed. When the cells of Microcystis aeruginosa K-139 strain were inoculated (10% v/v) into the system with 10 litters of CB medium (pH 10.0) and were cultured at 28C。 under the conditions of airing (filter-passed air, 9 liters/min) and lighting (4 directions, cool white light, 10, 000 lux). The pH of medium was maintained between 9 and 10, by being adjusted with 1 N HCl solution during the culture period. The cell-growth reached the maximum at day 7, and the yield of cells was 4.56 g. It was 2.5 times greater than that obtained from a stationary culture. The yield of microcystin extracted from the cell-mass was 27.493 mg, and it was 3 times more than that of the statinary culture. Monoclonal antibodies against microcystin-LR were prepared from hybridoma cell lines. All the antibodies were reacted with not only microcystin-LR but also other microcystins tested. Microcystin-shock in mice could hardly be protected by a previous administration of these antibodies. The microcystin-shock was relieved to some extent when interleukin (IL)-10 was injected 30 min in advance. The serum-level of IL-6 induced by microcystin was lowered by a previous injection of IL-10. The cell-extract of Microcystis aeruginosa K-18 strain contained anti-bacterial activity against various kinds of gram-positive and negative bacteria. The active substance was purified. However, it was found to be gamma-linolenic acid.
