Characterisation of an extracellular polysaccharide produced by Bacillus mucilaginosus MY6-2 and its application in metal biosorption

A novel extracellular bioflocculant from Bacillus mucilaginosus MY6-2 was obtained by alcohol precipitation, dialysis and lyophilisation. The chemical analysis indicated that the bioflocculant was mainly composed of extracellular polysaccharide (named EPS MY6-2). Monosacchride composition result analysed by Gas chromatography indicated that EPS MY6-2 was mainly composed of Man, Glc, Gal, GlcA and GalA. The result of flocculating characteristics indicated that pH, EPS dosage and cation supplement had evident effect on flocculating activity of EPS MY6-2. The biosorption of iron ions from aqueous solution was tested with respect to pH, initial metal ion concentration and EPS dosage. The optimum biosorption conditions were as follows: pH 5.0, initial ion concentration from 200 to 800 mg/L and EPS dosage of 60 mg/L ion solution. The adsorption rates are maintained above 95% under these conditions. The adsorption data provided an excellent fit to both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, implying that the binding of the iron ions took place as a monolayer on the surface of the EPS.

Isolation and identification of a bioflocculant-producing strain and optimisation of cultural conditions via a response surface model

A bioflocculant-producing strain named MY6-2 was isolated from a mixed activated sludge by a nitrogen-free medium. Based on 16S rDNA sequence, biochemical and morphological characteristics, the strain MY6-2 was identified as Bacillus mucilaginosus. The chemical analysis indicated that the flocculant MY6-2 was mainly composed of extracellular polysaccharide. The result of the composition of the medium showed that MY6-2 was able to generate bioflocculant in a nutrient-poor medium that consisted of 5?g?L^?1 sucrose and no nitrogen source. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimise the fermentation condition of MY6-2 for maximum flocculating activity by using central composite design (CCD). Based on the result, the optimum conditions were as follows: 100?mL of broth in a 250?mL Erlenmeyer flask, initial pH 8.0 and inoculum concentration 10%, respectively. The highest flocculating rate of 90% was achieved under these conditions by adding 0.5?mL fermentation supernatant to 95?mL of Kaolin suspension.     

Klebsiella pneumoniae metabolites enhance Microcystis aeruginosa biomass flocculation

Microcystis aeruginosa is a common aquatic toxin-producing cyanobacterium. This study explores M. aeruginosa biomass recovery using bioflocculation. Bioflocculants produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae significantly enhanced aquatic M. aeruginosa flocculation efficiency. Under neutral and acidic conditions, flocculation efficiency reached 90%, whereas flocculation efficiency was 75% under alkaline conditions. M. aeruginosa flocculation was ion dependent, and Ca²⁺ was determined to be the most effective cationic inducer. Negatively charged proteoglycans were identified as the being the functional components in the flocculants. Optimal conditions for M. aeruginosa flocculation were determined using response surface methodology and are as follows: (1) K. pneumoniae bioflocculant dose, 13.3?mg/L; (2) flocculation time, 1.6 hours; and (3) pH?=?5 for flocculation of 10⁹ cells per litre. Bioflocculation using K. pneumoniae represents a promising method to control development of M. aeruginosa blooms. Further in-field investigations are necessary to fully assess its potential.     

Measurement of natural radioactivity in chemical fertilizer and agricultural soil: evidence of high alpha activity

People are exposed to ionizing radiation from the radionuclides that are present in different types of natural sources, of which phosphate fertilizer is one of the most important sources. Radionuclides in phosphate fertilizer belonging to ²³²Th and ²³⁸U series as well as radioisotope of potassium (⁴⁰K) are the major contributors of outdoor terrestrial natural radiation. The study of alpha activity in fertilizers, which is the first ever in West Bengal, has been performed in order to determine the effect of the use of phosphate fertilizers on human health. The data have been compared with the alpha activity of different types of chemical fertilizers. The measurement of alpha activity in surface soil samples collected from the cultivated land was also performed. The sampling sites were randomly selected in the cultivated land in the Midnapore district, which is the largest district in West Bengal. The phosphate fertilizer is widely used for large agricultural production, mainly potatoes. The alpha activities have been measured using solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD), a very sensitive detector for alpha particles. The results show that alpha activity of those fertilizer and soil samples varies from 141 Bq/kg to 2,589 Bq/kg and from 109 Bq/kg to 660 Bq/kg, respectively. These results were used to estimate environmental radiation exposure on human health contributed by the direct application of fertilizers.     

Rhythmic activity responses of the fiddler crab Uca crenulata to artificial tides and artificial light

The fiddler crab Uca crenulata, from California (USA), was exposed to artificial tides in order to differentiate between the influence of a tidal cycle from that of a light-dark cycle on its locomotor activity. Most crabs could be well synchronized by tides, but the activity patterns of other crabs was merely exogenously reinforced. Under constant conditions, after tidal treatment, crabs showed bimodal or unimodal activity patterns. When a 24 h light-dark cycle and a 12.35 h tidal cycle acted as concurrent stimuli, their effectiveness in synchronizing the crabs' activity was variable, depending on the undividual. It is likely that crabs which tend to exhibit a unimodal activity pattern are more sensitive to a light stimulus, whereas crabs with a bimodal activity pattern respond preferably to the tides. Thus, responses of endogenous activity of U. crenulata to tides and light-dark cycles are similar, suggesting that the basic oscillarory mechanism for circadian and tidal activity may be the same.     

A Bayesian hierarchical model for assessing the impact of human activity on nitrogen dioxide concentrations in Europe

Ambient concentrations of many pollutants are associated with emissions due to human activity, such as road transport and other combustion sources. In this paper we consider air pollution as a multi-level phenomenon on a continental scale within a Bayesian hierarchical model. We examine different scales of variation in pollution concentrations ranging from large scale transboundary effects to more localised effects which are directly related to human activity. Specifically, in the first stage of the model, we isolate underlying patterns in pollution concentrations due to global factors such as underlying climate and topography, which are modelled together with spatial structure. At this stage measurements from monitoring sites located within rural areas are used which, as far as possible, are chosen to reflect background concentrations. Having isolated these global effects, in the second stage we assess the effects of human activity on pollution in urban areas. The proposed model was applied to concentrations of nitrogen dioxide measured throughout the EU for which significant increases are found to be associated with human activity in urban areas. The approach proposed here provides valuable information that could be used in performing health impact assessments and to inform policy.
