Effects of T-2 toxin on histopathology,fatty acid and water distribution of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) muscle

T-2 toxin (T-2), one of the naturally occurring mycotoxins, often accumulates in aquatic animals from contaminated feed. Shrimp (n?=?30 per group) were fed with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.5, 4.5 and 13.5?mg kg^?1) of T-2 for 20?days. Changes in histopathology, fatty acid and water distribution of shrimp muscle were analyzed. Histopathology of shrimp muscle showed dose-dependent marked degenerative and necrotic changes on exposure to dietary T-2. The T-2 significantly (P?<?0.05) affected the muscle fatty acid composition. ∑SFA, ∑MUFA and ∑PUFA initially decreased and then increased slowly in the high-dosed groups. C16:0, C18:1n-9 and C18:2n-6 were the main saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), respectively. Also, T-2 significantly affected water distribution in shrimp muscle. High doses of T-2 reduced free water content, resulting in a reduction in the water holding capacity and hence changes to the shrimp muscle quality. Collectively, these results illustrated that T-2 significantly affects the fatty acid and water distribution, and also muscle histopathology, all of which would result in a reduction in the quality and nutritional value of shrimp.

Efficient dechlorination of chlorinated solvent pollutants under UV irradiation by using the synthesized TiO2 nano-sheets in aqueous phase

Titanium dioxide(TiO2), which is the widely used photo-catalyst, has been synthesized by simple hydrothermal solution containing tetrabutyl titanate and hydrofluoric acid. The synthesized product has been applied to photo-degradation in aqueous phase of chlorinated solvents, namely tetrachloroethene(PCE), trichloroethene(TCE) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane(TCA). The photo-degradation results revealed that the degradation of these harmful chemicals was better in UV/synthesized TiO2 system compared to UV/commercial P25 system and UV only system. The photo-catalytic efficiency of the synthesized TiO2 was 1.4, 1.8 and 3.0 folds higher compared to the commercial P25 for TCA, TCE and PCE degradation, respectively. Moreover, using nitrobenzene(NB) as a probe of hydroxyl radical(.OH), the degradation rate was better over UV/synthesized TiO2, suggesting the high concentration of.OH generated in UV/synthesized TiO2system. In addition,.OH concentration was confirmed by the strong peak displayed in EPR analysis over UV/synthesized TiO2system. The characterization result using XRD and TEM showed that the synthesized TiO2 was in anatase form and consisted of well-defined sheet-shaped structures having a rectangular outline with a thickness of 4 nm, side length of 50 nm and width of 33 nm and a surface 90.3 m2/g. XPS analysis revealed that ≡Ti-F bond was formed on the surface of the synthesized TiO2. The above results on both photocatalytic activity and the surface analysis demonstrated the good applicability of the synthesized TiO2 nano-sheets for the remediation of chlorinated solvent contaminated groundwater.

雄黄矿区不同砷污染土壤中微生物群落结构及碳源利用特征

土壤砷污染是我国乃至世界范围内比较严重的环境问题.有关砷污染的生态毒理效应有很多研究,但对砷污染土壤中微生物群落的关注相对较少.本文以我国湖南省石门县雄黄矿地区长期砷污染土壤为例,采用PLFA及BIOLOG微平板技术考察了7个砷(As)污染程度不同的样点以及一个对照样点土壤微生物群落结构及碳源利用特征.结果发现,雄黄矿区存在多种重金属复合污染,除As含量较高以外,镉(Cd)和镍(Ni)的含量也超过了国家土壤环境质量三级标准.雄黄矿区土壤微生物的群落结构受到土壤有机碳(SOC)、有效磷(AP)、p H以及镁(Mg)、Cd、铁(Fe)、铜(Cu)含量的显著影响.各样点土壤微生物群落均以细菌为主,占微生物总量的71.54%~80.66%,真菌次之,放线菌最少.雄黄矿区土壤中的有效砷对微生物造成了较严重的胁迫.严重砷污染降低了微生物对于碳源利用的多样性以及均匀度.各样点微生物对于碳源的利用也表现出明显的差异.31种碳源中微生物利用较多的只有7类,分别属于糖类、胺类、羧酸类与多聚物,并且以糖类为主.

为了建立和完善北京市PM_(2.5)本地化源谱,对北京市11类排放源PM_(2.5)进行采集,并测定其26种组分,分析了不同排放源源谱的组分特征.结果表明,在有组织排放源中,燃煤电厂PM_(2.5)中OC和Si含量很高,占PM_(2.5)的质量分数分别为8.56%和6.19%(平均值),而供热/工业锅炉排放PM_(2.5)中则是SO_4~(2-)(占48.38%)和OC(11.0%)比例最高,水泥窑炉PM_(2.5)中OC(7.12%)、Ca(4.81)和Si(4.41%)占有较大比例;垃圾焚烧排放的PM_(2.5)中Si、Ca、K和SO_4~(2-)均较高,分别占8.15%、9.36%、7.17%和6.79%,且Cl~-含量(2.5%)高于其他所有源,生物质燃烧源PM_(2.5)中OC(21.7%)、Si(6.75%)、Ca(6.15%)较为丰富,餐饮源PM_(2.5)中OC(19.44%)、SO_4~(2-)(5.76%)和K(3.11%)含量均较高;无组织开放源中,道路扬尘和土壤风沙PM_(2.5)化学组分含量变化较为一致,均是Si(分别为16.8%和9.3%)和OC(分别为8.89%和6.61%)最高,建筑水泥尘PM_(2.5)中Ca(17.46%)含量高于其他源;流动排放源PM_(2.5)中OC、EC比例最高,其中,重型柴油车的OC(29.79%)与EC(26.5%)排放比例相当,而轻型汽油车OC排放占有绝对优势(占75%).本文通过对比国内外部分排放源PM_(2.5)成分谱的差异,指出不同区域相同源类排放的PM_(2.5)化学组分差异较大,在应用受体模型中的化学质量平衡模型(CMB)判断受体颗粒物来源时,应基于本地的排放源成分谱,以避免较大的误差.     

Biological conversion pathways of sulfate reduction ammonium oxidation in anammox consortia

• The SRAO phenomena tended to occur only under certain conditions. • High amount of biomass and non-anaerobic condition is requirement for SRAO. • Anammox bacteria cannot oxidize ammonium with sulfate as electron acceptor. • AOB and AnAOB are mainly responsible for ammonium conversion. • Heterotrophic sulfate reduction mainly contributed to sulfate conversion. For over two decades, sulfate reduction with ammonium oxidation (SRAO) had been reported from laboratory experiments. SRAO was considered an autotrophic process mediated by anammox bacteria, in which ammonium as electron donor was oxidized by the electron acceptor sulfate. This process had been attributed to observed transformations of nitrogenous and sulfurous compounds in natural environments. Results obtained differed largely for the conversion mole ratios (ammonium/sulfate), and even the intermediate and final products of sulfate reduction. Thus, the hypothesis of biological conversion pathways of ammonium and sulfate in anammox consortia is implausible. In this study, continuous reactor experiments (with working volume of 3.8L) and batch tests were conducted under normal anaerobic (0.2≤DO<0.5 mg/L) / strict anaerobic (DO<0.2 mg/L) conditions with different biomass proportions to verify the SRAO phenomena and identify possible pathways behind substrate conversion. Key findings were that SRAO occurred only in cases of high amounts of inoculant biomass under normal anaerobic condition, while absent under strict anaerobic conditions for same anammox consortia. Mass balance and stoichiometry were checked based on experimental results and the thermodynamics proposed by previous studies were critically discussed. Thus anammox bacteria do not possess the ability to oxidize ammonium with sulfate as electron acceptor and the assumed SRAO could, in fact, be a combination of aerobic ammonium oxidation, anammox and heterotrophic sulfate reduction processes.     

暂存库填埋调质污泥的压缩与固结特性

污泥暂存库区面临减量增容的严峻问题。由于暂存库中的污泥已经发生了较大程度的降解,其固结性质与新鲜污泥相比已发生了较大的变化,可直接影响到原位处理效果,故选用FeCl_3和芬顿试剂对上海某污泥暂存库区的长期填埋污泥进行了调质改性,并对调质后污泥的固结压缩特性进行了研究。结果表明:经药剂调质后污泥的排水固结时间大大缩短,在初始低固结应力水平时压缩量较大,在后期高固结应力水平下沉降量较小;在初始低固结应力水平下,调质污泥的固结系数在10~(-3) cm~2·s~(-1)数量级范围内变化;添加FeCl_3的实验组对应的C_(v,max)=2.91×10~3 cm~2·s~(-1),芬顿调质实验组对应的C_(v,max)=9.88×10~(-3) cm~2·s~(-1)。渗透系数受固结应力影响较大,当FeCl_3的掺量为40%时,初级固结应力下样品的渗透系数k=4.439×10~(-6) cm·s~(-1);在400 kPa固结应力作用下,渗透系数减小为3.796×10~(-8) cm·s~(-1);经芬顿试剂调质的污泥在初级固结应力下,渗透系数k=6.48×10~(-6) cm·s~(-1);在400 kPa下,渗透系数k=9.94×10~(-8) cm·s~(-1)。以上结果对现场污泥真空固结法处理有一定的指导意义。
