The biodegradability of polymers by microorganisms is generally studied in a real environment that contains a natural mixture of fungi and bacteria. The present research mainly focused on the purely fungal degradation of poly(l-lactide), PLLA, to enclose the part of fungi in a real process of biodegradation and to understand the kinetics of biodegradation. Respirometric tests were realized in soil at 30?°C, and in compost at 30?and 58?°C. Results indicated that temperature is the predominant parameter governing the fungal degradation of PLLA. Moreover, in real compost, the biodegradation kinetics of the PLLA revealed a synergy between bacteria and fungi. The curves of PLLA and cellulose biodegradation were modeled by Hill sigmo?d. Fungal degradation was completed by investigating the physical and the chemical properties of the polymer during the process of degradation using several analytical methods such as matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of fly spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, and differential scanning calorimetry. These experiments led to a better understanding of the various stages of fungal degradation of PLLA: hydrolysis as well as mineralization. Furthermore, metabolizing products (by-products) of PLLA was investigated also. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether the latitudinal distribution of fish species that use estuaries to complete
their entire life cycle has shifted northward as an expected consequence of global warming. The mean latitude of past fish
species distributions found in 1970s’ literature was compared with the mean latitude of distributions today based on fish
density indices collected in 55 tidal estuaries along the Atlantic European seaboard, from Portugal to Scotland. Among the
15 most common species, 11 displayed a positive difference between current and past mean latitudes suggesting a northward
shift of the populations. Using the occurrence of subtropical species in temperate areas as an indicator of water warming,
the northernmost range limit of 10 subtropical species was subsequently focused on. Six of them were recorded up to their
past northern latitudinal limit. These results reinforced the idea that a number of fish species associated to estuaries have
migrated northwards over the last 30 years, possibly due to water warming. These ecological changes can get important managerial
implications, i.e. in the assessment of the ecological status in European directives. 相似文献

Fungal Degradation of Poly(Butylene Adipate-Co-Terephthalate) in Soil and in Compost 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The present work mainly dedicated to fungal degradation of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) [PBAT], to enclose the role of fungi in a real process of biodegradation, the degree of degradation, and to understand the kinetics of PBAT biodegradation. Respirometer tests were realized in soil at 30 °C, and in compost at 30 and 58 °C. Results have shown that temperature is one of the essential parameters governing the fungal degradation of PBAT. Moreover, the final rates of PBAT biodegradation in an inoculated compost with fungi and in a real compost were found comparable, which means that the selected fungi were efficient as much as a mixture of bacteria and fungi. The curves of PBAT biodegradation were modeled by Hill sigmoid. Fungal degradation was completed by investigating the physical and the chemical properties of the polymer during the process of degradation using several analytical methods such as matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of fly spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, and differential scanning calorimetry. These experiments led to a better understanding of the various stages of fungal degradation of PBAT: hydrolysis as well as mineralization. Furthermore, the analysis of metabolizing products was investigated also. 相似文献

Degradation of Polyethylene Designed for Agricultural Purposes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pierre?Feuilloley Guy?César Ludovic?Benguigui Yves?GrohensEmail author Isabelle?Pillin Hilaire?Bewa Sandra?Lefaux Mounia?Jamal 《Journal of Polymers and the Environment》2005,13(4):349-355
For many years now, scientific articles have been published on the potential biodegradability of polyethylene. Polyethylene (PE) with peroxidant additives, in the form of agricultural films, is sold by various suppliers as biodegradable mulch. Even though, the photo-chemical and thermal degradation of these products under artificial laboratory conditions is highlighted, several extrapolation on the biodegradation and, moreover, on the neutral environmental impact of PE are made. In this study, three different commercial mulch films have been submitted to standardised biodegradation tests and the results are discussed. The first conclusions are that a very low degree of biodegradation of the commercial PE films is achieved from these tests and that crosslinked PE micro-fragments are found in soil after a very long period of time. 相似文献

Stream temperature is one of the most important environmental variables in lotic habitats as it has important and direct impacts on the ecosystem. Given the continuous nature of this variable, the aim of this paper was to introduce functional regression for the air‐stream temperature relation, being capable to model an entire seasonal or annual curve of temperatures as one entity, rather than multiple daily or weekly values in classical models. Three types of functional models were explored in the study and compared to two classical models (Generalized Additive Model and Logistic Model) for six rivers from the United States The results show the functional models have the best performance for all the considered rivers. When comparing functional models between them, one variant of the historical functional model performs better than the two other models and is the most parsimonious. Functional regression leads to encouraging results to model the complete annual stream temperature curve as one entity compared to other classical approaches. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Specific conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, carbon, phosphorous, and nitrogen species were measured at 36 stations in the Richibucto River drainage basin, including the estuary, in New Brunswick, Canada, over the six‐year period 1996 through 2001. Each station was sampled between 1 and 26 times (mean = 7.5, standard deviation = 6.0) during the ice free seasons without regard to tide. There was significant variance among stations in most parameters. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to identify the processes explaining the observed variance in water quality. Because of the high variability in specific conductance, stations were first grouped in a freshwater subset and an estuarine (brackish water) subset. For freshwater stations, most of the variance in water quality was explained by pH and total organic carbon, as well as high nutrient concentrations. These high nutrient concentrations, along with water salinity, which varies with flow and tides, are also important in determining water quality variability in brackish water. It is recommended that water quality parameters that were found to explain most of the variance by PCA be monitored more closely, as they are key elements in understanding the variability in water quality in the Richibucto drainage basin. Cluster analyses showed that high phosphorous and nitrate concentrations were mostly found in areas of peat runoff, tributaries receiving treated municipal effluent, and lentic zones upstream of culverts. Peat runoff was also shown to be acidic, whether it is runoff from a harvested area or a natural bog. 相似文献
