Influence of furfural concentration on growth and ethanol yield of Saccharomyces kluyveri

Furfural is an important inhibitor in ethanol fermentation process using lignocellulosic hydrolysates as raw materials. In order to find out the furfural concentration range in which furfural inhibits the fermentation process, we used one strain Saccharomyces kluyveri selected from soil and cultured in several different furfural content media under low glucose concentration condition. Experiment results showed that microorganism growth was stimulated and dry cell weight increased when furfural concentration in the medium was 0.25 mg/ml. Furfural had negative effect on cell growth when its concentration was above 1.00 mg/ml. At the same time, the strain growed better and had a higher glucose consumption rate in 5% original glucose concentration condition than in 3% original glucose concentration condition. The results showed that appropriate exaltation of original glucose concentration in stalk hydrolysates will increase the strain resistance to furfural.     

Water Discoloration in Alexandria, Egypt, April 1993. I. Occurrence of Prorocentrum Triestinum Schiffer (Red Tide) Bloom and Associated Physical and Chemical Conditions

A yellow-brown coloration of water developed in the Eastern Harbour of Alexandria (Egypt) during April 1993. the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum triestinum, the causative organism, culminated in a population peak of 71-10⁶ cells 1^-1, chlorophyll a nearly 361 μgl^-1. the bloom occurred with a thermohaline stratified water column and low surface nutrient levels. Water temperature was considered a crucial environmental factor controlling the occurrence of P. triestinum and nitrate was significantly correlated with its counts. the high relative growth constant (3.4 d^-1), calculated just prior to the massive occurrence of the species, explains the rapid development of the bloom. A comparison with the earlier phytoplankton studies in the harbour is made.     

环境规制对中国工业绿色增长指数的影响

为衡量工业增长对资源的消耗和环境的污染,本文构建了"工业绿色增长指数",并运用基于松弛测度的方向距离函数(SBMDDF)对2007-2011年中国30省(区、市)进行测算,根据得分将其分成高绿化度地区、中绿化度地区和低绿化度地区;采用面板数据模型测算了行政型、市场型和公众参与型这三种类型的环境规制对工业绿色增长指数的影响,同时考察技术创新、工业结构对工业绿色增长的作用程度。研究发现:东部地区的工业绿色增长指数高于中西部地区;行政型和市场型环境规制对工业绿色增长的作用显著,市场型环境规制在高、中绿化度地区起主要作用,而低绿化度地区以行政型环境规制为主;公众参与型环境规制对工业绿色增长的作用有限;技术创新和工业结构也是影响工业绿色增长的重要因素。为促进工业绿色发展,中西部地区要树立绿色、低碳的理念对东部地区所转移的产业进行选择;高绿化度地区需在提高排污费标准的同时,逐步采用排污权交易等方式加大对环境污染总量的控制力度;低绿化度地区可在实行低标准排污费政策的同时,逐步实现从行政型向市场型环境规制的转变;逐步发挥并扩大公众参与型环境规制的作用;注重与节能减排相关的技术吸收和应用推广,降低高载能行业的比重。     

Double dividend of carbon intensity: environmental-quality improvement and sustainable economic growth

This paper established an equilibrium model including representative household, government, and eight industries, and two different environmental policy tools such as carbon intensity and carbon cap were added into the model. The paper points out that the carbon intensity policy imposed on major high-emission industries achieved double dividend of environmental-quality improvement and sustainable economic growth under the condition of proper constraint target. This result supports the environmental Porter hypothesis. This paper finds out that the double dividend is due to the fact that environmental governance policy leads to the rising price of resources and demand of labors, resulting in an effective redistribution of production factors among industries and sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, this paper estimates the marginal effect of economic structure on carbon emission and carbon intensity and provides targeted suggestions.

A comparison on the phytoremediation ability of triazophos by different macrophytes

The strategy of choosing suitable plants should receive great performance in phytoremediation of surface water polluted by triazophos(O,O-diethyl-O-(1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-base) sulfur phosphate, TAP), which is an organophosphorus pesticide widespread applied for agriculture in China and moderately toxic to higher animal and fish. The tolerance, uptake, transformation and removal of TAP by twelve species of macrophytes were examined in a hydroponic system and a comprehensive score(CS) of five parameters(relative growth rate(RGR), biomass, root/shoot ratio, removal capacity(RC), and bio-concentration factor(BCF)) by factor analysis was employed to screen the potential macrophyte species for TAP phytoremediation. The results showed that Thalia dealbata, Cyperus alternifolius, Canna indica and Acorus calamus had higher RGR values, indicating these four species having stronger growth capacity under TAP stress. The higher RC loading in Iris pseudacorus and Cyperus rotundus were 42.11 and 24.63 μg/(g fw·day), respectively. The highest values of BCF occurred in A. calamus(1.17), and TF occurred in Eichhornia crassipes(2.14). Biomass and root/shoot ratio of plant showed significant positive correlation with first-order kinetic constant of TAP removal in the hydroponic system, indicating that plant biomass and root system play important roles in remediation of TAP. Five plant species including C. alternifolius, A. calamus, T. dealbata, C. indica and Typha orientalis, which owned higher CS, would be potential species for TAP phytoremediation of contaminated water bodies.     

Experimental study using the dilution incubation method to assess water biostability

Water biostability is of particular concern to water supply as a major limiting factor for heterotrophic bacterial growth in water distribution systems. This study focused on bacterial growth dynamics in the series dilution of water samples with TOC（total organic carbon） values determined beforehand. The results showed that the specific growth rate of Pseudomonas fluorescens P17 varied dramatically and irregularly with TOC value when TOC concentrations were low enough during the initial periods of incubation under given conditions. According to this relationship between bacterial growth rate and TOC, a dilution incubation method was designed for the study of water biostability. With the method under a given condition, a turning-point TOC value was found at a relatively fixed point in the curve between bacterial growth rate and TOC of water sample, and the variation of growth rate had different characteristics below the turning-point TOC value relative to that over this value. A turning-point TOC value similarly existed in all experiments not only with tap water, but also with acetate and mixed solutions. And in the dilution incubation method study, the affections were analyzed by condition factors such as inoculum amount,incubation time and nature of the organic carbon source. In very low organic carbon water environments, the variation characteristics of bacterial growth rate will be useful to further understand the meaning of water biostability.     

湖泊基质客土改良的环境效应:对芦苇生长及光合荧光特性的影响

湖泊底质对根着水生植物生长发育有重要的影响,通过滨岸底质植生性改良、重建水生植被被认为是污染湖泊生态修复的重要手段.本研究模拟5种客土厚度对芦苇生长和叶绿素荧光参数的影响,结果表明,覆盖5 cm处理芦苇总生物量、株高、叶长和叶宽显著大于覆盖18 cm处理(P0.01),实验第120 d,地下/地上部生物量和细根/地下部生物量显著大于其他处理(P0.05).表明覆盖18 cm显著抑制芦苇生长,但对照组富营养底质可能对芦苇生长造成轻微胁迫,随覆盖厚度增大,显著降低芦苇的地下部/地上部生物量比值,芦苇优先生长地下部,特别是细根的生物量,以便从底质中吸收更多养分供植物生长.不同处理芦苇F_v/F_m、Yield、q P和q N变化差异不显著(P0.05),覆盖厚度越大,芦苇光合结构PSⅡ更易受到损坏,主要是通过较高的热耗散、降低叶片光合面积与叶片捕光色素含量来维持光合结构PSⅡ保持正常.就客土改良对芦苇生长与叶绿素荧光参数总体影响而言,覆盖2 cm和5 cm能有效改善基质Eh和营养条件,促进植物生长,其中覆盖2 cm处理能有效地提高芦苇光合利用效率(α)、相对电子传递速率(ETRmax)和半饱和光强(E_k),覆盖18 cm使得芦苇对冬季的低光抑制有更强的适应能力.
