Do land utilization patterns affect methanotrophic communities in a Chinese upland red soil?

Soil samples were collected from three plots under different land utilization patterns including degradation,farming,and restoration.The abundances of methanotrophs were quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR)based on the pmoA and 16S rRNA genes,and the community fingerprint was analyzed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis(DGGE)aiming at pmoA gene.Significantly lower 16S rRNA and pmoA genes copies were found in the degradation treatment than in farming and restoration.Higher abundances of Type Ⅰ than those of Type Ⅱ methanotrophs were detected in all treatments.The treatment of farming was clearly separated from degradation and restoration according to the DGGE profile by cluster analysis.The lowest diversity indices were observed in the F(farming plot),suggesting that the community structure was strongly affected by farming activities.There were significantly positive correlations between the copy numbers of pmoA also Type Ⅱ-related 16S rRNA genes and soil available K content.Strong negative and positive correlations were found between Type Ⅰ and soil pH,and available P content,respectively.We concluded that the vegetation cover or not,soil characteristics including pH and nutrients of P and K as a result of anthropogenic disturbance may be key factors affecting methanotrophic communities in upland soil.

内蒙古高原干涸湖泊反硝化及甲烷氧化细菌的群落分析

以内蒙古高原半干旱草原区干涸湖泊为研究对象,应用末端限制性片段长度多态性(T-RFLP)技术对湿地土壤中的反硝化和甲烷氧化关联菌群的关键功能基因nosZ和pmoA进行了研究,根据末端限制性片段(T-RFs)分析了两种菌群的群落结构及多样性变化,以及环境因素所产生的影响,并探讨了土壤微生物群落对湖泊干涸的响应机制.结果表明:干涸湖泊的湖心、湖底土壤反硝化和甲烷氧化细菌多样性指数较高,群落结构较复杂;而较早干涸的湖坡以及相邻草原对照区,两个菌群多样性指数较低,群落结构相对单一.从湖心到相邻草原,反硝化和甲烷氧化细菌的群落相似度逐渐降低,显示两个菌群处于动态演替中.湖泊干涸过程中,水分含量和有机质含量对反硝化和甲烷氧化细菌的群落结构影响显著;高pH值和高铵态氮分别对反硝化和甲烷氧化细菌有抑制作用.随着湖泊干涸,土壤微生物群落因环境扰动而受到胁迫,这一过程会加剧CO2等温室气体的排放.     

长期不同施肥对暗棕壤甲烷氧化菌群落特征与功能的影响

不同施肥方式对我国旱地农田土壤甲烷氧化影响的微生物机制尚不明确.本研究利用PCR-DGGE和实时荧光定量PCR技术,结合甲烷氧化速率和土壤性质测定,探索了长期不同施肥条件下暗棕壤的"土壤性质-甲烷氧化菌群落特征-土壤甲烷氧化速率"关系.结果表明,有机肥和无机肥配施处理显著降低了土壤甲烷氧化速率,降幅为61.2%,而单独施用有机肥或无机肥对暗棕壤甲烷氧化速率的影响不显著;与对照相比,有机肥处理土壤甲烷氧化菌多样性指数增加91.9%,有机肥和无机肥配施处理增加102.5%,而单施无机肥后土壤甲烷氧化菌多样性指数变化不明显;有机肥处理土壤的pmoA基因丰度显著增加,平均pmoA基因丰度为不施用有机肥的12.7倍;土壤甲烷氧化速率与甲烷氧化菌的群落结构和比活性呈显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.363和0.684,但与甲烷氧化菌群落丰度和多样性不相关;甲烷氧化菌的群落结构和比活性与土壤pH值、全氮和有机质含量呈显著正相关.上述结果说明,长期不同施肥可以通过改变暗棕壤的pH值、全氮和有机质含量等土壤性质,改变甲烷氧化菌群落结构和比活性,进而影响土壤甲烷氧化速率;有机肥和无机肥配施土壤甲烷氧化菌多样性和丰度大幅度增加,而甲烷氧化速率却显著降低,说明有机肥和无机肥配施土壤中只有部分微生物发挥了甲烷氧化活性,但有待进一步研究.     

Methanotrophic community structure of aged refuse and its capability for methane bio-oxidation

Aged refuse from waste landfills closed for eight years was examined and found to contain rich methanotrophs capable of biooxidation for methane. Specially, community structure and methane oxidation capability of methanotrophs in the aged refuse were studied. The amount of methanotrophs ranged 61.97 103–632.91 103 cells/g (in dry basis) in aged refuse from Shanghai Laogang Landfill. Type I and II methanotrophs were found in the aged refuse in the presence of sterilized sewage sludge and only Type I methanotrophs were detected in the presence of nitrate minimal salt medium (NMS). The clone sequences of the pmoA gene obtained from the aged refuse were similar to the pmoA gene of Methylobacter, Methylocaldum, and Methylocystis, and two clones were distinct with known genera of Type I methanotrophs according to phylogenetic analysis. Aged refuse enriched with NMS was used for methane biological oxidation and over 93% conversions were obtained.     

典型污染物包覆层中氯仿的沿程生物转化机制

为明晰氯仿（CF）在包覆层中的降解过程,构建了模拟覆盖层系统（SLCS）,并结合高通量测序技术首次系统分析了CF在SLCS中的沿程生物转化机制,结果表明,覆盖层可根据氧气含量分为有氧区（0~20cm）、缺氧区（20~40cm）和无氧区（>40cm）.高通量测序分析表明,有氧区的优势菌为甲烷氧化菌,其中I型菌Methylobacter（甲基杆菌属）及Ⅱ型菌Methylosinus（甲基弯菌属）居多,缺氧区甲烷氧化菌的相对丰度为13%左右,缺氧和无氧区中Anaeromyxobacter（厌氧粘细菌属）成为了优势CF厌氧降解菌.CF在有氧、缺氧和无氧条件下均有效降解.在缺氧和无氧区,CF经厌氧还原脱氯转化为二氯甲烷,部分二氯甲烷在Dehalobacter（脱卤素杆菌属）作用下产生乙酸盐、H₂和CO₂.在有氧区,其余二氯甲烷通过甲烷氧化菌共代谢降解.改变进气口通量发现,SLCS对甲烷的去除率与通量呈负相关关系（R²=0.80）,但甲烷氧化速率与通量呈正相关关系（R²=0.90）.与甲烷类似,SLCS对CF的去除率与进气口通量呈负相关关系（R²=0.86）,但降解速率与进气口通量呈正相关关系（R²=0.89）.此外,进气口通量的增加对CF好氧共代谢降解的促进作用大于厌氧还原脱氯降解.该研究对氯代烃类污染物的降解提供了新的基础,对该类污染物的原位生物修复提供了理论依据.     

Mechanism on minimization of excess sludge in oxic-settlinganaerobic (OSA) process

The oxic-settling-anaerobic (OSA) process is a promising wastewater treatment technique for efficiently reducing sludge production and improving the stability of process operation. In this paper, the possible factors of sludge reduction such as sludge decay, uncoupled metabolism, and anaerobic oxidation with low sludge production were discussed in the OSA process. It has been confirmed that sludge decay is the decisive cause in the OSA process, accounting for 66.7% of sludge production reduction. Sludge decay includes hydrolysis and acidogenesis of dead microorganisms and particle organic carbon adsorbed in sludge floc and endogenous metabolism. By batch experiments, it has been proven that there is energetic uncoupling in the OSA system since microorganisms were exposed to alternative anaerobic and aerobic environment. It accounts for about 7.5% of sludge production reduction. Soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) released from the anaerobic sludge tank in the OSA process was used as the substrate for cryptic growth. The substrate was used for anoxic denitrifying, anaerobic phosphorus release, sulfate reduction, and methane production. These anaerobic reactions in the sludge anaerobic tank have lower sludge production than in the aerobic oxidation when equivalent SCOD is consumed, which may lead to approximately 23% of sludge reduction in the OSA process. It has been concluded that multiple causes resulted in the minimization of excess sludge in the OSA system. The microbial community structure and diversity of sludge samples from the CAS (conventional activated sludge) and OSA systems were investigated by 16 SrDNA PCR-DG-DGGE (polymerase chain reaction-double gradient-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis). DGGE profile and cluster analysis showed more abundant species in the OSA system contrasting to microbial communities in the CAS system.

应用实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction,简称实时荧光定量PCR)技术对填埋场垃圾和渗滤液中CH₄氧化菌的pmoA基因进行定量分析. 结果表明:实时荧光定量PCR技术可用于渗滤液和垃圾中CH₄氧化菌的定量分析. 对于厌氧和准好氧填埋,初期渗滤液中CH₄氧化菌的数量均高于稳定期;准好氧填埋体渗滤液中CH₄氧化菌的数量均高于厌氧填埋体. 准好氧填埋垃圾中CH₄氧化菌的数量随着填埋龄的增加呈先增加后降低的趋势,并在填埋后的9个月左右达到最大值,与准好氧填埋体CH₄产生的规律相似. 同时,准好氧填埋垃圾中CH₄氧化菌的数量随着距导气管距离的增加而降低,但不同填埋时期的变幅不同,与准好氧填埋体O₂和CH₄的迁移规律有关. 此外,对渗滤液和垃圾样品的研究表明,准好氧填埋体垃圾填埋层内部存在大量的CH₄氧化菌,具有显著的CH₄氧化能力.

降解纤维素产甲烷的四菌复合系

自然环境中通常是微生物群落协同完成纤维素的降解,构建可降解纤维素的混菌体系是认识微生物相互作用的关键.利用富集培养法,结合变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)指纹检测技术以及厌氧滚管技术,建立了一种筛选简单降解纤维素产甲烷复合菌系的方法.利用此方法从青藏高原若尔盖高寒湿地分离到一个由4株菌构成的降解纤维素产甲烷的稳定菌系.结果表明,该复合菌系由纤维素水解菌Clostridium glycolicum、非纤维素水解菌Trichococcus flocculiformis和Parabacteroides merdae、产甲烷古菌Methanobacterium subterraneum等具有不同功能的4种菌株组成,且在这4株菌的共同作用下可将纤维素直接转化为CH4.该简单复合系的获得为今后纤维素转化甲烷复合菌系的代谢控制和遗传改造提供了一个平台.     

水稻田土壤甲烷厌氧氧化在整个甲烷氧化中的贡献率

对黄松土水田土壤中>0.02mm的颗粒和<0.02mm的颗粒按不同比例组合成的土壤、不同绝对含水量的黄松土水田土壤、不同温育时段的水田土壤和长期定位不同施肥的水稻田土壤中的甲烷好氧氧化和厌氧氧化的速率的检测结果进行比较,结果相当一致,不仅证实了水稻田土壤甲烷厌氧氧化过程的存在,而且表明水田土壤中的甲烷厌氧氧化活性远较甲烷好氧氧化活性要低,如以两者的氧化活性作为对甲烷氧化的贡献来计,则甲烷厌氧氧化的贡献率一般都在整个甲烷氧化的10%以下.但在水田土壤被水淹没的情形下,由于土壤厌氧条件的形成和甲烷扩散受阻,甲烷厌氧氧化的速率明显超过好氧氧化的速率,甲烷厌氧氧化在整个甲烷氧化中的贡献率可到达30%以上.长期施肥对于水稻田土壤的甲烷好氧氧化活性和甲烷排放通量影响显著,而对甲烷的厌氧氧化活性有影响但未达到显著水平.长期施肥处理的土壤中甲烷好氧氧化活性在(9.072～41.088)×10^-6mol·(d·g)^-1之间,而甲烷厌氧氧化活性仅在(0.325～0.671)×10^-6mol·(d·g)^-1之间,仅及甲烷好氧氧化活性的1.31%～4.43%,占整个甲烷氧化的1.3%～4.14%.     

不同结构好氧/厌氧潜流人工湿地微生物群落代谢特性

4种不同结构的好氧/厌氧多级串联潜流人工湿地对COD和氮的去除效果不同.为了探究基质微生物群落代谢特征及其与水质净化效果的关系,对利用Biolog微平板得到的AWCD值(平均每孔光密度值)进行碳源分类、主成分分析以及聚类分析.结果表明,微生物对于糖类及其衍生物和氨基酸及其衍生物的利用水平明显高于对脂肪酸及脂类和代谢中间产物及次生代谢物的利用水平;OBAAO(好氧-缓冲-厌氧-缺氧-好氧)曝气组中采样点3.3(厌氧采样点)微生物对4类碳源的利用水平都最低,与其他各采样点具有显著性差异(p<0.05),96hAWCD值主成分分析和聚类分析的结果表明,OBAAO曝气组采样点3.3中的微生物群落和其他3个进行厌氧反应的采样点中的微生物群落发生了较大的差异,OBAAO曝气组延长厌氧段长度为微生物提供厌氧环境,而由于缺少碳源作为能量,使得微生物的活性受到抑制;OBAAO曝气多点进水组中的采样点4.3(厌氧采样点)微生物在4类碳源的利用水平上都具有一定的优势性,OBAAO曝气多点进水组补充进水和延长厌氧段长度两个措施有效地促进了微生物的反硝化作用的强度,提高了水平潜流人工湿地的氮去除率.     

硫酸盐还原型甲烷厌氧氧化菌群驯化及其群落特征

甲烷的温室效应是二氧化碳的26倍,高浓度硫酸盐废水对水体、土壤和植物均有危害.硫酸盐为氧化剂的甲烷厌氧氧化是减少甲烷的主要途径之一.本研究以硫酸盐作为电子受体,驯化培养硫酸盐还原型甲烷厌氧氧化菌群,采用PCR-DGGE技术分析细菌和古菌菌群多样性和群落结构特征,并对其中的优势菌进行系统发育分析.DGGE指纹图谱结果表明,硫酸盐的加入使微生物群落结构和优势种群数量发生了明显的改变,其增强了甲烷氧化古菌和硫酸盐还原细菌的丰度,加入硫酸盐驯化的菌群,其细菌群落多样性增加而古菌群落多样性略微减少.典型条带测序结果显示,驯化后菌群的优势菌种主要包括螺旋体门(Spirochaetes),除硫单胞菌目(Desulfuromonadales)、甲烷八叠球菌目(Methanosarcinales)和甲烷丝状菌属(Methanosaeta)等.驯化菌群的甲烷厌氧氧化研究结果显示,甲烷厌氧氧化的同时伴随硫酸盐的还原,甲烷的氧化产物为二氧化碳,硫酸盐的转化产物为硫化氢和硫单质.     

闽江口不同沼泽植被带土壤甲烷产生潜力的温度敏感性

2012年2月采集闽江河口鳝鱼滩短叶茳芏(Cyperus malaccensis),芦苇(Phragmites australis)和互花米草(Scirpus alterniflora) 3个典型潮汐沼泽植被带0~30cm(间隔5cm)土壤样品,在不同温度(10,20和30℃)进行15d室内厌氧培养实验,探讨河口区不同沼泽植被带土壤甲烷产生潜力及其温度敏感性(Q10值)的特征.结果表明,指数模型较好地拟合不同沼泽植被带土壤甲烷产生与温度的相关关系;温度由10℃升至20℃时,3个沼泽植被带土壤甲烷产生潜力Q10值的均值分别为5.04,14.92和14.81,最大值均在培养期间的第13~15d分别出现于10~15cm,15~20cm和20~25cm三个土层;温度由20℃升至30℃时,3个沼泽植被带土壤甲烷产生潜力Q10值的均值分别为3.56,4.99和3.43,最大值分别在培养期间的第4~6d,第4~6d和第7~9d出现于0~5cm,0~5cm和15~20cm三个土层;植被类型和土壤深度对甲烷产生潜力及Q10值均具有显著的影响(P<0.05).     

厌氧和好氧条件下土壤中六氯乙烷降解的动态研究

通过在实验室模拟不同的环境条件,研究常用有机氯化合物——六氯乙烷(Hexachloroethane,HCE)在好氧和厌氧环境条件中的土壤生物降解动态及其影响因素。结果表明,HCE在水稻土中的降解遵循一级反应动力学方程。相对于好氧条件,厌氧条件下土壤微生物对HCE的降解影响较大。在厌氧条件下,在30⁶0 mg/kg的浓度范围内,HCE的降解随土壤中HCE起始浓度增加而加快,当浓度≥60 mg/kg时,随HCE起始浓度增加而减慢。而在好氧条件下,HCE的降解速率变化较小,表明相对于好氧条件,厌氧条件下土壤微生物可以利用HCE生长,在未达到其毒性耐受浓度时,HCE降解速率随着其浓度的增加而提高,但当浓度超过微生物的耐受极限浓度时,微生物活动将受到抑制,HCE的降解速率呈下降趋势。     

Microbial community structure in an integrated A/O reactor treating diluted livestock wastewater during start-up period

In order to investigate the correlation between reactor performance and the microorganisms, an integrated A/O reactor was operated for 72 days to treat diluted livestock wastewater. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal e ciency increased from 79% to 94%, with total nitrogen (TN) removal e ciency from 37% to 50% (HRT 7.4 hr) when the influent COD and TN were ca. 1500 mg/L and 95 mg/L, respectively, and the outlet COD concentration was less than 100 mg/L at the end. Microbial community was monitored during start-up period by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) based on 16S rRNA gene. DGGE profiles showed that microbial community had changed significantly during the start-up and these shifts were in accordance with the reactor performance. UPGMA clustering analysis showed that 14 anaerobic samples fell into five main groups and so did the aerobic ones, but the grouping patterns were di erent. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that microbial populations in the anaerobic compartment belonged to Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi and Bacteroidetes, while Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Verrucomicrobiae and Nitrospira were present in the aerobic compartment. In the anaerobic compartment, more fermentative and acetogenic bacteria were detected during the start-up while denitrifying bacteria faded away. Two functional populations such as Nitrospira defluvii and Dechloromonas denitrificans were observed when nitrogen removal was high, indicating that simultaneous nitrification and denitrification occurred in the aerobic compartment.     

中国滨海湿地CH4通量研究进展

滨海湿地严格的厌氧环境造成与其面积不成比例的碳储量,同时有利于CH₄的产生。探讨滨海湿地温室气体通量,尤其是CH₄通量,对确定滨海湿地究竟是温室气体的“源”还是“汇”,评估滨海湿地对全球变化的影响具有重要的作用。论文通过对中国滨海湿地CH₄通量的排放机制、时空变化以及影响因素进行阐述总结得出：闽江河口CH₄通量明显大于长江口和黄河口,主要原因在于温度和生物量的差异;江苏滨海湿地CH₄通量的研究相对薄弱,南方红树林湿地CH₄通量的空间差异较大。潮汐对滨海湿地CH₄通量的影响呈“M”型：涨潮开始时,CH₄通量逐渐增加,随着水位的加深,逐渐减少;当落潮到最适宜产生CH₄的水位深度时,大量原先产生的CH₄开始排放出来,待水位继续下降,产生的CH₄极容易被氧化,开始减少。目前缺乏研究滨海湿地CH₄通量的标准方法,而且针对潮汐变化,微生物以及酶活性对CH₄排放的影响研究比较薄弱,在此基础上,提出了利用箱法进行CH₄通量的研究需因地制宜,依据研究目的以及植被、土壤、水文的差异选择不同的样点布设原则和采样方法。
