不同微藻对典型行业废水急性毒性响应的敏感性研究

研究考察了不同行业废水对4种微藻24 h和72 h的急性毒性效应。以斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)、蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)、海水小球藻(Chlorella spp.)以及等鞭金藻(Isochrysis galbana)为指示生物,采用COD浓度较高的焦化厂实际生产废水和制药厂实际生产废水、COD浓度较低的印染厂生化处理后出水和城市污水处理厂进出水作为受试水体,以微藻的生长抑制率为测试指标,评价微藻对不同行业废水的急性毒性效应和敏感性。结果表明,不同行业废水对4种微藻的急性毒性效应有所不同:焦化废水对等鞭金藻的生长抑制作用最强,制药废水对斜生栅藻的毒性效应最为明显,印染废水及城市污水处理厂的进出水对海水小球藻的毒性较为显著,说明不同微藻对不同行业废水毒性的敏感性存在差异。上述研究结果为废水毒性评价中受试物种的选择提供了基础数据。     

电场预处理强化微藻处理猪场废水的效果优化研究

近年来,基于微藻的废水处理技术受到越来越多的关注,但猪场废水所具有的高色、高浊、高盐等水质特点限制了微藻的处理效果和生长情况.为解决该问题,本研究考虑采用电场处理技术与微藻废水处理相结合的思路,对猪场废水厌氧消化出水进行深度处理.先比较4种不同阳极材料（石墨、铝、不锈钢、钛）的废水预处理效果,再进一步考察各组电场预处理对后续微藻废水处理效果和生长情况的影响.结果表明：不锈钢组和铝组对色度和浊度均表现出了较好的去除效果（92.44%和83.72%;99.83%和99.74%）.此外,经电场预处理后的微藻废水处理效果和生长情况均有明显的提升,其中不锈钢组和铝组最终生物量分别达到2.22、1.89 g·L^-1,远高于对照的原水组.而不锈钢组和铝组中的叶绿素a含量浓度分别增至接种时的11.48倍和9.89倍.这说明将电场预处理与微藻废水处理相结合,可以有效提高污染物去除效果,同时获得更大的有价生物质资源的产量,实现更好的技术经济性和可行性,为该工艺的推广应用提供理论基础和技术支撑.     

Biofuels and Biodiversity: Principles for Creating Better Policies for Biofuel Production

Abstract:  Biofuels are a new priority in efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels; nevertheless, the rapid increase in production of biofuel feedstock may threaten biodiversity. There are general principles that should be used in developing guidelines for certifying biodiversity-friendly biofuels. First, biofuel feedstocks should be grown with environmentally safe and biodiversity-friendly agricultural practices. The sustainability of any biofuel feedstock depends on good growing practices and sound environmental practices throughout the fuel-production life cycle. Second, the ecological footprint of a biofuel, in terms of the land area needed to grow sufficient quantities of the feedstock, should be minimized. The best alternatives appear to be fuels of the future, especially fuels derived from microalgae. Third, biofuels that can sequester carbon or that have a negative or zero carbon balance when viewed over the entire production life cycle should be given high priority. Corn-based ethanol is the worst among the alternatives that are available at present, although this is the biofuel that is most advanced for commercial production in the United States. We urge aggressive pursuit of alternatives to corn as a biofuel feedstock. Conservation biologists can significantly broaden and deepen efforts to develop sustainable fuels by playing active roles in pursuing research on biodiversity-friendly biofuel production practices and by helping define biodiversity-friendly biofuel certification standards.     

荧光法监测硝普钠释放NO过程及其对微藻生长的影响（Fluorescence Dynamic Monitoring of Nitric Oxide Release Process Following Administration of Sodium Nitroprusside and Its Effect on the Growth of Microalga）

以硝普钠(Sodium nitroprusside,SNP)为一氧化氮(Nitric oxide,NO)供体研究了NO对海洋微藻生长的影响.对不同浓度SNP在海水介质中释放NO的过程进行了监测;对所培养的亚心形扁藻(Platymonas subcordiformis)和中肋骨条藻(Skeletonema costatum)进行藻密度测定,观测NO对微藻生长的影响.结果表明:5、10和100μmol·L-1的SNP释放NO浓度大约分别为6×10-9、9×10-9和2×10-7mol·L-1左右,而释放时间分别为4、5.5和7.5h.研究表明,NO对不同微藻有明显不同的作用规律:NO持续作用下,对亚心形扁藻的最佳作用浓度在10-8mol·L-1数量级;对赤潮藻中肋骨条藻的最佳作用浓度在10-9mol·L-1数量级;赤潮藻对NO的响应比非赤潮藻更灵敏,NO可能是海洋生态系中微藻生长重要的调节因子.     

环介导恒温扩增技术快速检测短凯伦藻

短凯伦藻(Karenia brevis)是一种有毒赤潮微藻,所产生的短藻毒素对海洋生物乃至人类都有毒害作用,为加强对短凯伦藻赤潮的监控,建立了稳定的短凯伦藻环介导恒温扩增(LAMP)鉴定体系,在此基础上进行了特异性和灵敏性验证.特异性实验结果显示只有短凯伦藻或者含短凯伦藻的模板呈现阳性反应,其他微藻为阴性反应,从而验证了该LAMP方法的特异性;同时,对短凯伦藻的基因组DNA进行一系列10倍稀释作为敏感度实验的模板,并与常规PCR做了对比,结果表明:短凯伦藻的LAMP方法最低检测限度为50 pg,敏感度比常规PCR高10倍.LAMP产物鉴定不需要常规的胶电泳过程,直接采用肉眼观察的方法,在含有短凯伦藻的阳性反应管中会出现白色混浊,加入SYBRòGreen I染料呈现绿色,而未含有短凯伦藻的阴性管为澄清,染色后仍为原来的橙色.因此,该方法操作简便、特异性强、灵敏度高而成本低,在赤潮原因种检测监控方面具有良好的应用前景.     

Phytoplankton communities in aquaculture system (integration of shrimp and seaweed)

ABSTRACT

Knowledge about phytoplankton communities is important for aquaculture due to their influence on environmental variables. The goal of the study was to evaluate the ecological effect of seaweed Gracilaria birdiae at three different densities: 2.5 (LG2.5); 5.0 (LG5.0) and 7.5?kg m^?3 (LG7.5), on water quality variables and the phytoplankton communities in integrated aquaculture systems (shrimp and seaweed) with a control (without seaweed) (LB) using biofloc technology. Settleable and total suspended solids were significantly correlated with the phytoplankton groups. In addition, orthophosphate was the main variable controlling phytoplankton growth and gross primary production. No significant differences were identified among the treatments in terms of the phytoplankton assemblages (p?>?0.05) but differences were found between the communities (ANOSIM, R global?=?0.873) in relation to the days of the experiment. However, the LG2.5 treatment had higher diversity and lower species dominance, as well as higher productivity and final shrimp weight. The results indicate that seaweed inhibit phytoplankton growth, mainly of toxic species. They suggest that phytoplankton composition in integrated aquaculture systems in the presence of seaweed at a density of 2.5?kg m^?3 is more diversified and provides better water quality and shrimp performance by inhibiting the abundance of harmful species.
