为了降低构建微生物燃料电池(MFCs)的成本,比较了以碳毡和碳布作为阴极材料,在阴极利用功能微生物作为催化剂时电池的产电性能。结果表明,两电池启动时间基本相同,20 d左右达到稳定,但稳定期碳布作阴极的电池电压比碳毡作阴极的电池电压高出了60 mV左右。碳毡和碳布作阴极时,电池在10 d和20 d的最大功率密度分别由10.24和11.14 mW/m2提升到了18.18和30.15 mW/m2,相应内阻则分别由1 000和600Ω降到了250和200Ω。循环伏安法(CV)显示两材料单独做电极时氧化还原情况相似,扫描电镜(SEM)观察到两者不同表面特性导致碳毡对污泥附着强于碳布,进而使氧气传递受到限制,产电降低。

Influence of benomyl and prometryn on the soil microbial activities and community structures in pasture grasslands of Slovakia

The effects of pesticides (a herbicide and a fungicide) on the microbial community structure and their activity were analyzed in soil from four alpine pasture grasslands in Slovakia. Specifically, the effects of the herbicide, Gesagard (prometryn active ingredient), and fungicide, Fundazol 50 WP (benomyl active ingredient), on the microbial respiration activity (CO₂ production), the numbers of selective microbial physiological groups (CFU.g^?1) and the structure (relative abundance) of soil microbial communities [(phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA)] were analyzed under controlled laboratory conditions. All treatments including the treatments with pesticides increased (statistically significantly) the production of CO₂ in all fields during 21 days of incubation and posed a statistically insignificant negative influence on the numbers of the observed physiological groups of microorganisms. The significantly negative influence was evaluated only in the numbers of two physiological groups; spores of bacteria utilizing organic nitrogen and bacteria, and their spores utilizing inorganic nitrogen. A shift in the microbial composition was evident when the PLFA patterns of samples from different sites and treatments were compared by the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). According to the second component PCA 2 (15.95 %) the locations were grouped into two clusters. The first one involved the Donovaly and Dubakovo sites and the second one contained the Velka Fatra and Mala Fatra locations. The PLFA composition of the soils showed important changes after the treatment with pesticides according to PCA 1 (66.06 %). Other treatments had not had a significant effect on the soil microbial community with the exception of the population of fungi. The lower relative abundance (significant effect) of Gram-positive bacteria, actinomycetes and general group of bacteria were determined in samples treated by the herbicide Gesagard. The application of fungicide Fundazol decreased (statistically significantly) the relative abundance of actinomycetes and general group of bacteria and paradoxically increased the population of fungi.

Increasing the microbial activity in activated sludge by the phenomenon of 'biological resonance

Mechanical oscillations as well as electrical oscillations (e.g. in an electrical oscillatory circuit) can lead to resonance conditions by external agitation with the natural frequency of the system. During the microbial protein synthesis, the induction and repression mechanisms also cause oscillations in the form of varying protein concentrations. The aim of this work concentrates on an induced resonance case of the biological system, comparable with physical resonance phenomena, by external periodic stimulations. For this, system theoretical computer simulations with a structured genetic model were carried out, which built the theoretical fundament for describing the effect of 'Biological Resonance'. Based on that, lab-scale experiments using a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) and skimmed milk as an inducing substrate revealed an enhanced microbial productivity of around 60%-75% compared to values of the productivity under steady-state conditions in a narrow range of process parameters. The optimum (resonance case) was confirmed by a repetition of the variation experiments and is characterised by a substrate supply period of approx. 18 min and a following starvation period of about 9 min. Long-term investigations under optimised process conditions indicate adaptation mechanisms of the microorganisms to evade the imposed stress conditions. The productivity will not remain constant without additional stimulation and declines to its original level. However, temporal modulation of the starvation period permanently increases the productivity (elevated catabolism) to about 60%, which was observed over a period of several weeks.

Degradation of chlorpyrifos and its hydrolysis product, 3,5,6‐trichloro‐2‐pyridinol,in soil

Abstract

The degradation of ¹⁴C‐chlorpyrifos and its hydrolysis product, 3,5,6‐trichloro‐2‐pyridinol (TCP), was investigated in soil in laboratory experiments. Between 12 and 57% of the applied chlorpyrifos persisted in a variety of agricultural soils after a 4‐week incubation. Concentrations of TCP present in these soils ranged from 1 to 34% of the applied dose. Two patterns of persistence were observed. In some soils, significant quantities of TCP and soil‐bound residues were produced, but little ¹⁴CO₂. In other soils, neither TCP nor soil‐bound residues accumulated, but large quantities of ¹⁴CO₂ were evolved. Direct treatment of fresh samples of each of these soils with ¹⁴C‐TCP resulted in rapid mineralization of TCP to ¹⁴CO₂ only in those soils in which TCP had not accumulated after chlorpyrifos treatment. The rapid mineralization of TCP in these soils was microbially mediated, but populations of soil microorganisms capable of using TCP as a sole carbon‐energy source were not detected.     

Effect of sodium arsenate on microbial growth in a chemostat

Abstract

Microbial transformation of sodium arsenate, the wood preservative and insecticide, is important in assessing the environmental impact of this pesticide. Recent studies using batch culture techniques have shown that arsenate is metabolized to more toxic end products. This study investigated the effect of the chemical on the microbial cells themselves using continuous flow cultures to examine the effect of arsenate on the growth and maintenance requirements of the microbes. Cell yield was lower and maintenance requirements higher at 100 pg/ml arsenate than at 10 μg/ml indicating a greater expenditure of energy by the cells to maintain homeostasis’.
