低氧环境对大型底栖动物的影响

2006年8月在调查中发现长江口以南浙江沿岸存在一个明显的低氧区,本文在此基础上对低氧区内外的大型底栖动物的群落结构、种类组成及生物多样性进行研究,并对低氧环境对其产生的影响进行了探讨,结果发现:低氧区内是底栖动物生物量和丰度的高值区;CLUSTER和MDS标序把底栖动物分为了两个生物群落组群,一个组群属于低氧环境下的组群,近一步用ANOSIM检验发现,这两个组群差异显著(R=0.347,P=0.75%);低氧区内的多样性指数(H′=1.71)小于低氧区外的相应值(H′=2.53)。说明了低氧环境已经对大型底栖动物的生物量、丰度、群落结构、生物多样性等方面产生了影响。     

多环芳烃蒽高效降解菌的筛选及其降解中间产物分析

采用选择性富集培养方法,从海洋沉积物中分离到能以高浓度蒽为唯一碳源且生长良好的优势菌,经形态学观察和生化检验初步鉴定此菌为黄杆菌属(Flavobacterium)。根据GC/MS方法测定了蒽的含量,经过5 d的优势菌培养对初始浓度为50 mg/L蒽的降解率可达77.6%。在萘、蒽和菲的混合物浓度分别为15 mg/L的情况下,该菌对菲的降解效率明显低于对蒽的降解效率,表现出对多环芳烃的酶降解具有很强的选择性。经对萃取中间代谢产物的质谱分析表明降解蒽的中间代谢产物主要有phthalic acid diisobutyl ester(邻苯二甲酸二异丁酯),9,10-anthracenedione(9,10-蒽醌)和dibutylphthalate(邻苯二甲酸二丁酯),说明它可能通过邻苯二甲酸途径来降解蒽。     

Degradation of chlorpyrifos in laboratory soil and its impact on soil microbial functional diversity

Degradation of chlorpyrifos at different concentrations in soil and its impact on soil microbial functional diversity were investigated under laboratory conditions. The degradation half-lives of chlorpyrifos at levels of 4, 8, and 12 mg/kg in soil were calculated to be 14.3, 16.7, and 18.0 d, respectively. The Biolog study showed that average well color development (AWCD) in soils was significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited by chlorpyrifos within the first two weeks and thereafter recovered to the similar level as the control. A similar variation in the diversity indices (Simpson index 1/D and McIntosh index U) in chlorpyrifos-treated soils was observed, no significant difference in the Shannon-Wiener index H' was found in these soils. With increasing chlorpyrifos concentration, the half-lives of chlorpyrifos were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) extended and its inhibitory effects on soil microorganisms were aggravated. It is concluded that chlorpyrifos residues in soil had a temporary or short-term inhibitory effect on soil microbial functional diversity.     

Influence of temperature on the characteristics of aerobic granulation in sequencing batch airlift reactors

Aerobic granular sludge was cultivated in sequencing batch airlift reactors(SBAR) at 25,30,and 35°C,respectively.The effect of temperature on the granules characteristics was analyzed and the microbial community structures of the granules were probed using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis(PCR-DGGE).The results showed that 30°C is optimum for matured granule cultivation,where the granules had a more compact structure,better settling abili...     

Phosphorus utilization and microbial community in response to lead/iron addition to a waterlogged soil

Constructed wetlands have emerged as a viable option for helping to solve a wide range of water quality problems. However, heavy metals adsorbed by substrates would decrease the growth of plants, impair the functions of wetlands and eventually result in a failure of contaminant removal. Typha latifolia L., tolerant to heavy metals, has been widely used for phytoremediation of Pb/Zn mine tailings under waterlogged conditions. This study examined e ects of iron as ferrous sulfate (100 and 500 mg/kg) and lead as lead nitrate (0, 100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) on phosphorus utilization and microbial community structure in a constructed wetland. Wetland plants (T. latifolia) were grown for 8 weeks in rhizobags filled with a paddy soil under waterlogged conditions. The results showed that both the amount of iron plaque on the roots and phosphorus adsorbed on the plaque decreased with the amount of lead addition. When the ratio of added iron to lead was 1:1, phosphorus utilized by plants was the maximum. Total amount of phospholipids fatty acids (PLFAs) was 23%–59% higher in the rhizosphere soil than in bulk soil. The relative abundance of Gram-negative bacteria, aerobic bacteria, and methane oxidizing bacteria was also higher in the rhizosphere soil than in bulk soil, but opposite was observed for other bacteria and fungi. Based on cluster analysis, microbial communities were mostly controlled by the addition of ferrous sulfate and lead nitrate in rhizosphere and bulk soil, respectively.

Microbial biodegradation of microcystin-RR by bacterium Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05

A strain,USTB-05,isolated from Lake Dianchi,China,degraded the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-RR(MC-RR) at the rate of 16.7 mg/L per day.Analysis of 16S rDNA sequence showed that the strain was Sphingopyxis sp.Enzymatic degradation pathways for MC-RR by Sphingopyxis sp.USTB-05 were identified.Adda-Arg peptide bond of MC-RR was cleaved and then a hydrogen and a hydroxyl were combined onto the NH 2 group of Adda and the carboxyl group of arginine to form a linear molecule as intermediate product within the ...     

寄生噬菌体和细菌宿主的本土适应性

<正>"生物多样性"很大程度上取决于外来物种在本土环境中的适应和发展.通常来说,当生存环境发生改变时,寄生生物能为其宿主调节生存竞争压力.已有大量证据表明寄生虫和宿主的确具有本土适应性,但是我们对地球上最为丰富的微生物体——细菌和他们的寄生噬菌体却知之甚少.实际上,微生物多样性最终决定了生态系统的功能和环境的变化.最近一系列的科学研究引发了科学界对微生物多样性的另一话题:那就是生物因素和非生物因素对促进生物多样性的相对重要性.     

Effects of sterilization treatments on the analysis of TOC in water samples

Decomposition experiments conducted with and without microbial processes are commonly used to study the effects of environmental microorganisms on the degradation of organic pollutants.However,the effects of biological pretreatment (sterilization) on organic matter often have a negative impact on such experiments.Based on the principle of water total organic carbon (TOC) analysis,the effects of physical sterilization treatments on determination of TOC and other water quality parameters were investigated.The results revealed that two conventional physical sterilization treatments,autoclaving and 60 Co γ-radiation sterilization,led to the direct decomposition of some organic pollutants,resulting in remarkable errors in the analysis of TOC in water samples.Furthermore,the extent of the errors varied with the intensity and the duration of sterilization treatments.Accordingly,a novel sterilization method for water samples,0.45 μm micro-filtration coupled with ultraviolet radiation (MCUR),was developed in the present study.The results indicated that the MCUR method was capable of exerting a high bactericidal effect on the water sample while significantly decreasing the negative impact on the analysis of TOC and other water quality parameters.Before and after sterilization treatments,the relative errors of TOC determination could be controlled to lower than 3% for water samples with different categories and concentrations of organic pollutants by using MCUR.
