农业生态系统中氮的利用效率与氮的管理

在生产玉米、水稻和小麦的作物系统中既要满足增长的食物需求又要保护环境质量,面对这样一个全球性的挑战,我们不知会成功还是会失败.要使发达国家大规模的作物系统和发展中国家小规模的作物系统中产量、利润和环境保护这三者之间的关系尽可能优化,关键就是要实现氮的供应与作物需求之间的同步性,既不多也不少.为了迎接挑战而制订的研究议程和有效政策,要求我们定量地理解当前这些系统中氮利用的效率及损失的水平、生物物理法控制这些要素的水平和采用改善后的管理措施所获得的经济回报水平.对于这些问题,尽管在基础生物学、生态学和生物地球化学方面的研究进展能提供一些答案,但我们不应该低估科学研究所遇到的重大挑战,因为在全世界很有限的生产耕地上作物系统必须保持产量增加,而对其中氮的控制日益困难.

生物处理去除汽油残留物

在过去几年里,地下水污染因其对饮用水源潜在的影响已成为人们关注的一个焦点。美国50%以上的人口把地下水作为饮用水源,地下水的抽取总量在今后预计将会增长。地下水中人为化学物的存在代表了一个严重的公共健康问题。美国环保局已认定65类化学化合物为危险物质,100多种有机化合物为主要污染物。在40个州的饮用水井中已发现至少有33种有毒有机化学品,这个数字估计会随采集的样品数量而不断增加。清除这些     

一株溶藻细菌的分离鉴定及其溶藻特性

从对藻类及藻毒素有良好去除作用的海绵固定化微生物系统中分离到一株溶藻细菌P0 7,对该菌溶解铜绿微囊藻(Microcystisaeruginosa)、栅藻(Scenedesmus)及小球藻(Chlorella)的效果、溶藻方式进行了研究,利用16SrDNA序列分析对其进行了鉴定.结果表明,该菌株不但对铜绿微囊藻具有良好的溶解效果,而且对淡水中常见的栅藻及小球藻也具有良好的去除作用.初始菌浓度越大,溶藻效果越明显,达到最佳溶藻效果的时间越短.当菌浓度为2 . 4×10 7个·mL- 1 时,3d后铜绿微囊藻的去除率可达到81 .67% .该菌溶藻无需菌体与藻细胞直接接触,是通过分泌某种非蛋白质类物质溶藻.该菌革兰氏染色呈阳性,可运动;不能利用大多数常见碳源.16SrDNA序列分析表明,P0 7菌株与多株芽孢杆菌的16SrDNA核苷酸序列的同源性均在99. 7%以上,归属于芽孢杆菌属.     

二氧化氯水溶液中低含量的氯测定

Palin滴定法测定二氧化氯水溶液中的氯,其结果偏低,推算的氯含量偏高且不稳定。这是由于除氯而使用的氨基乙酸与二氧化氯反应引起的。用草酸代替氨基乙酸,结果准确而且重现性好。二氧化氯含量为3.5—15毫克,氯0.1—0.3毫克的溶液,测定标准误差为0.01毫克。     

The brain as a photoreceptor: intracerebral ocelli in the firefly

 This paper deals with the structure and function of the intracerebral ocelli in the caudal area of the brain of the Japanese firefly. A pair of epilaterally placed specialized pigmented organs was found at the caudal ends of the brains of the fireflies Luciola cruciata and L. lateralis. On the basis of light and transmission electron micrographs of both male and female individuals these organs seemed photoreceptive in nature. Intracellular and extracellular recordings were obtained from the intracerebral ocelli of the fireflies with microelectrodes. The physiological evidence revealed that the cells found in the brain were, indeed, photoreceptors. Received: 7 April 2000 / Accepted in revised form: 16 June 2000     

一株新颖的Providencia sp.菌降解吲哚及合成靛蓝的特性研究

吲哚是一种典型的氮杂环芳烃污染物,在焦化废水和畜牧废水中大量存在.本研究从近海泥沙中分离纯化得到一株高效吲哚降解菌DCX,经16S rRNA基因序列比对分析,鉴定其为普罗维登斯菌属(Providencia sp.).该菌株能够以吲哚为唯一碳源,在28 h内将100 mg·L~(-1)吲哚完全降解.液相色谱/飞行时间-质谱联用(LC/TOF-MS)的结果表明,靛蓝、靛红、靛红酸及邻氨基苯甲酸是菌株DCX降解吲哚过程中的中间产物.此外,本研究中发现,外加营养物质可以促进菌株DCX降解吲哚,特别是加入酵母浸粉后,反应体系中会产生大量靛蓝.利用表面响应法确定菌株DCX转化吲哚合成靛蓝的最优条件为:吲哚207.49 mg·L~(-1),酵母浸粉2.9 g·L-1,接菌量4.23%(V/V),并且在最优条件下,靛蓝产率达到最高(9.90%),比初始条件提高了4.38倍.     

水平搅拌下低高径比SBR中好氧活性污泥的颗粒化

在设有水平机械搅拌、高径比（H/D）为1.2的圆柱形鼓风曝气SBR中,考察了活性污泥的颗粒化情况,对成熟颗粒污泥表面所受水力剪切速率进行了定量研究,分析了水平搅拌在颗粒化过程中的作用.结果表明：有水平搅拌存在下污泥逐渐颗粒化,形成了均值粒径为1.12mm的好氧颗粒污泥,污泥沉降速度为21.41m/h;计算结果表明污泥表面所受的平均剪切速率为27.25s^-1,剪切应力为3.38×10^-2N/m²;污泥表面所受平均剪切速率与机械搅拌速率和表观气速均呈正相关关系;实验条件下机械搅拌对剪切速率的贡献要远大于表观气速的贡献,前者指数约为后者的37.48倍.研究认为水平搅拌在反应器中形成的具有足够剪切强度的旋涡二次流是促使低高径比反应器好氧污泥颗粒化的关键水力条件.     

Metals in feathers of sooty tern, white tern, gray-backed tern, and brown noddy from islands in the North Pacific

Levels of heavy metals are usuallyhigher in adult than young birds because they eatlarger, more contaminated prey, or because they havehad longer to accumulate metals in their tissues.Further, levels of contaminants are usually less inbirds nesting on remote, offshore islands than inbirds breeding closer to mainland areas that areurbanized and industrialized. We examined the featherlevels of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese,mercury, and selenium in adult sooty terns (Sterna fuscata), gray-backed terns (Sterna lunata), and brown noddy (Anous stolidus, and adult and young white terns (Gygis alba, fromMidway Atoll, and in adult and young sooty terns andadult brown noddy from Manana Island, Hawaii (chicksof other terns were not available). We tested andrejected the null hypotheses that metal levels are notsignificantly different among species, ages, andlocations. Despite their small size, adult white ternshad the highest levels of lead, arsenic and tin. Brownnoddies had the highest levels of cadmium, chromium,manganese, and selenium. Sooty and white terns had thehighest levels of mercury. Sooty tern adults hadsignificantly higher levels of cadmium, mercury, andselenium than young, while young had significantlyhigher levels of arsenic and manganese. White ternadults had significantly higher levels of selenium andtin than young, while young had higher levels ofcadmium and mercury than adults. Except for mercury,there were significant inter-location differenceswithin species in all heavy metals. Contrary toexpectation, where the differences were great, metalsgenerally were higher in the feathers of terns andnoddies from Midway than from Manana.
