高效石油降解菌的筛选鉴定及修复能力研究

为了得到高效的石油降解菌,本研究利用以柴油为唯一碳源的培养基从山东胜利油田、新疆克拉玛依油田和陕西长庆油田3处的石油污染土壤中富集纯化出3株高效的石油降解菌,分别命名为WTS、Z3-P和H4-1.测试结果显示,经过10d的降解实验,这3株降解菌对柴油的降解率均达到60%以上,降解效果良好,其中,WTS的降解效率最高,达到75%;用这3株菌进行污染土壤的修复实验,污染土壤中石油烃降解半衰期为30d左右,为自然情况下的1/4左右.对石油降解菌进行生理生化反应鉴定以及细菌16S rRNA鉴定结果表明,WTS是柠檬酸杆菌(Citrobacter sp.),H4-1是木糖氧化产碱菌(Alcaligenes xylosoxydans),Z3-P为芽孢杆菌(Bacillus sp.).     

电动法修复苯酚污染土壤的实验研究

选用西北地区砂土为供试土壤,苯酚作为实验模拟研究的有机污染物,在电动修复技术的基础上加入超声波,联合降解土壤中的苯酚污染物。结果表明,电动技术修复苯酚污染土壤时,加入超声波有利于苯酚的迁移和富集。含水率的增加可以使苯酚的迁移距离增大,当土壤含水率为16％时,富集量可达到153％。超声波的声强可以使苯酚的迁移幅度增大,最大富集率可达到105％。因此,电动法联合超声波降解苯酚效果显著,具有良好的应用前景。     

两种生物沥滤-电动修复联合技术的比较

比较研究了生物沥滤和电动修复不同的结合方式对污泥中重金属处理效果的影响.在先进行生物沥滤4d之后用电动修复技术对污泥进行处理,试验结束之后污泥中的Cu含量为60.5mg·kg-1,Zn含量为170mg·kg-1;而采用同步生物沥滤和电动修复试验时,处理结束后污泥中Cu含量为122.8mg·kg-1,Zn含量为110mg·kg-1.利用2种修复技术处理污泥,污泥中重金属含量均达到我国污泥土地农田利用的标准,但先生物沥滤后电动修复可以减少能耗.     

Enhanced adaptability of Sesbania rostrata to Pb/Zn tailings via stem modulation

Sesbania rostrata is renowned for its stem nodulation, but the role of stem nodulation in the root nodulation and adaptation of S.rostrata to Pb/Zn-enriched tailings environment has been poorly understood.We investigated the effects of inoculating (with stem nodule treatment) and non-inoculating (without stem nodule treatment) Azorhizobium caulinodans on the growth, root nodulation, and N fixation of S.rostrata grown on three different types of soil substrata: Pb/Zn tailings, garden soil amended tailings, and garden soil.The results showed that plant height, stem basal diameter, biomass, chlorophyll content, nitrogen content and N-accumulation per plant were 2.3%-4.9%, 2.2%-7.7%, 27.8%-72.2%, 17.1%-23.5%, 12.3%-34.2%, and 43.1%-131.2% higher in treatments with stem nodule than those without stem nodule for the same soil substrate, respectively.With respect to soil substrata, all the measurements had consistently higher values in tailings than in amended tailings and garden soil, indicating that the poorer the soil condition, the greater the contribution of stem nodule.In contrast, the number and fresh weight of root nodules on plants without stem nodule were 6.9-11.6 times and 5.8-29.0 times higher than those with stem nodule, respectively, especially with respect to the plants grew on Pb/Zn tailings.In general, stem nodulation favored plant growth and nitrogen fixation of S.rostrata, but suppressed root nodulation.With the ability of stem and root nodulation, S.rostrata can be used as a pioneer plant species for remediation of Pb/Zn tailings.     

Changes in functional structure of soil bacterial communities due to fungicide and insecticide applications in canola

The fungicide vinclozolin and insecticide λ-cyhalothrin are widely used to control canola (Brassica spp.) diseases and insect pests, respectively, in Canada. We investigated non-target effects of these pesticides, applied at recommended rates, on soil microbial biomass, functional bacterial diversity and functional community structure of soil bacteria (by evaluating patterns of C substrate utilization) in canola rhizosphere and bulk soil at three locations in Alberta from 2002 to 2004. Experimental treatments were (a) untreated control, (b) vinclozolin fungicide foliar application, (c) λ-cyhalothrin insecticide foliar application, and (d) vinclozolin and λ-cyhalothrin applications. No significant pesticide effects on soil microbial biomass or functional bacterial diversity were observed, but the functional structures of soil bacteria were altered. In 1 of 12 cases, the control treatment had a different soil bacterial community structure from the 3 pesticide treatments. The fungicide treatment had different bacterial community structures from the control or insecticide treatments in 3 of 12 cases, the insecticide treatment had different community structures from the control or fungicide treatments in 4 of 12 cases, and the combined fungicide and insecticide treatment had different community structures from the other treatments in 3 of 12 cases. Therefore, evaluating soil bacterial functional structures revealed pesticide effects that were not detected when bacterial diversity or microbial biomass were measured in canola rhizosphere or bulk soil.     

Simulated dynamics of carbon stocks driven by changes in land use, management and climate in a tropical moist ecosystem of Ghana

Sub-Saharan Africa is large and diverse with regions of food insecurity and high vulnerability to climate change. This project quantifies carbon stocks and fluxes in the humid forest zone of Ghana, as a part of an assessment in West Africa. The General Ensemble biogeochemical Modeling System (GEMS) was used to simulate the responses of natural and managed systems to projected scenarios of changes in climate, land use and cover, and nitrogen fertilization in the Assin district of Ghana. Model inputs included historical land use and cover data, historical climate records and projected climate changes, and national management inventories. Our results show that deforestation for crop production led to a loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) by 33% from 1900 to 2000. The results also show that the trend of carbon emissions from cropland in the 20th century will continue through the 21st century and will be increased under the projected warming and drying scenarios. Nitrogen (N) fertilization in agricultural systems could offset SOC loss by 6% with 30 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ and by 11% with 60 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹. To increase N fertilizer input would be one of the vital adaptive measures to ensure food security and maintain agricultural sustainability through the 21st century.     

Wheat volatile emissions modified by top-soil chemical characteristics and herbivory alter the performance of neighbouring wheat plants

Plant emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has a significant impact on arthropods and plants and alters important functions in the agroecosystems. Three field source–sink microcosm experiments evaluated variation in wheat plants volatile emissions and its impact on neighbouring wheat plants’ performance caused by genotype, aphid herbivory and soil nutrient availability due to different cropping histories. An electronic nose detected qualitative differences in volatile emissions. Two of the experiments established the source–sink relationships forcing the volatiles through pipes. In these experiments wheat genotype was introduced as a variable of the source plants. In the third experiment, the emissions of volatiles dispersed naturally affecting the neighbourhood only by proximity and wheat genotype was a controlled factor. Plant genotype, aphid attack and soil chemical changes caused by different cropping histories affected wheat volatile emissions despite independent variations in plant biomass or resource allocation. This is the first report of changes in distant plant biomass according to neighbouring plant genotype and agricultural history. Wheat VOCs emissions were associated with changes in soil organic C, Ca, Mg, total nitrogen and cation exchange capacity caused by the different cropping histories of the soils tested. Variability in total biomass and resource allocation increased due to changes in VOCs emissions promoted by longer cropping history or aphid feeding in two genotypes. When volatiles were naturally dispersed into the neighbourhood, tiller weight in the sink individuals depended on plant genotype and cropping history of its neighbours (i.e. VOCs source). These findings highlight that ecological and environmental consequences of agricultural practices are more complex than normally thought.     

络合剂对铬污染土壤电动修复作用的影响

用电动方法对铬污染砂土的修复进行了实验室研究。结果表明,EDTA和柠檬酸的加入明显改变了电动过程中电流的大小和铬在砂土中的分配,柠檬酸因与C(rⅥ)发生明显的竞争吸附或与土壤中的C(rⅢ)发生较强的络合作用而增加土壤总铬的迁移率,迁移到阳极附近的铬占砂土中铬含量的78.4%,电动处理以后土壤中剩余的六价铬浓度均显著减少,尤其是加入络合剂后的迁移率比不加入约提高40%,充分表明电动处理时加入络合剂可明显增加对砂土中六价铬的迁移。
