曲霉对水中重金属的吸附去除

利用2种曲霉A.sojae M146和A.oryzae M149的菌体，作为吸附剂对水中Pb^2＋和Cd^2 进行去除实验。结果表明，曲霉菌体的最佳培养时间为72h，吸附的最佳pH为5．5、温度为30℃、时间为1h。在最佳实验条件下，A.sojae M146对Pb^2 和Cd^2 的吸附率，分别为69．76％和72．28％；A.oryzae M149对Pb^2 和Cd^2 的吸附率，分别为60．64％和81．34％。使用稀碱溶液对曲霉菌体进行浸泡预处理后，可提高对重金属的吸附去除效果；而使用稀释、乙醇水溶液以及蒸馏水对菌体浸泡后，明显降低了重金属的去除效果。Na2CO3和EDTA溶液，可以有效地将重金属从曲霉体上解吸下来，从而达到重复利用菌体作为吸附剂的目的。

菌株HX5对多种染料的吸附作用

研究了HX5生长菌体对分属活性、酸性、碱性、直接和分散5大类的26种染料的吸附性能．结果表明，HX5生长菌体可在5h内完全吸附直接染料和分散染料，碱性染料在生长菌体上完全吸附脱色的时间为12h，其次是活性染料，最不易吸附的为酸性染料．染料在生长菌体上的吸附由染料分子的结构和性质所决定，直接染料分子呈线性平面结构、疏水性较强，易于吸附，完全吸附脱色的时间为5h；分散性染料水溶性较差，在静电力的诱导之下即可在较短时间内完全吸附脱色；碱性染料分子带正电，与带负电荷的菌丝球表面异性电荷相吸从而发生吸附脱色；活性染料分子中的氨基质子化后与菌丝球表面相互吸引，氨基质子化的程度越高，吸附效果也就越好；酸性染料分子中氨基质子化程度受到结构本身的限制，以及不存在带正电荷的基团，因而吸附效果最差．     

烟束曲霉菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除—还原与吸附作用

采用投加烟束曲霉(Aspergillus fumisynnematus)菌丝球的方法去除含铬废水中的Cr(Ⅵ),通过研究模拟含铬废水中Cr(Ⅵ)与总Cr浓度及pH值的变化规律来确定烟束曲霉菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除作用.结果表明,烟束曲霉菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除作用包括还原与吸附,以还原作用为主,兼有一定程度的吸附.适宜条件(30℃,150 r·min-1,pH=1.30,投加量10.0 g)下菌丝球能在48 h内将100 mL浓度为10～200 mg·L-1Cr(Ⅵ)溶液中的Cr(Ⅵ)全部去除,其中对总Cr的吸附率为30%～50%,对Cr(Ⅵ)的还原率则达到了99%以上,吸附平衡后解吸出来的Cr的形态95%以上为Cr(Ⅲ).考察了溶液初始pH值、Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度、菌丝球投加量及温度对菌丝球去除Cr(Ⅵ)作用的影响.结果表明,菌丝球只有在低pH值时才能达到对Cr(Ⅵ)较好的去除效果.溶液初始pH值及Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度的降低、菌丝球投加量及温度的升高均能提高菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除率,溶液初始pH值的降低及菌丝球投加量的增加均可提高菌丝球对总Cr的吸附率,温度则主要通过改变菌丝球的结构形态来影响菌丝球对总Cr的吸附作用.菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)及Cr(Ⅲ)均存在吸附作用,吸附在菌丝球上的Cr(Ⅵ)在酸性环境下易被还原成Cr(Ⅲ).     

微生物絮凝剂改善城市污水厂浓缩污泥脱水性能的研究

采用酱油曲霉(Aspergillus sojae)产生的微生物絮凝剂(MBF)作为污泥絮凝脱水剂，对城市污水处理厂浓缩污泥进行调理，确定该絮凝剂对浓缩污泥脱水的处理工艺参数为：微生物絮凝液最佳投加体积为6%～8%（体积比），发挥絮凝作用的最适污泥温度为28～32℃，最适pH为6～7。经微生物絮凝剂调理的污泥在3 000 r/min离心9 min，污泥脱水率高达82.7%，滤饼含水率降低至77.3%，污泥脱水后体积减至原来的1/5左右。     

半固态培养条件下烟曲霉去除土壤中镉

选用了1株高耐镉(Cd)的烟曲霉,提出了利用烟曲霉在半固态培养体系表面生长并去除Cd的方法,研究了菌体对不同模拟Cd污染水平土壤中Cd的去除效果,测定了菌体吸附和富集Cd的变化.结果表明,烟曲霉在半固态培养体系中能够实现一定的Cd去除效果,Cd含量为10 mg·kg~(-1)时,对土壤Cd的综合去除率可达31%.同时通过研究不同Cd含量下烟曲霉干重和体系pH随时间变化情况,发现随着培养时间和Cd含量的增加,烟曲霉干重逐渐下降,最大下降幅度可达64%,pH为5.6~6.0时去除效果较好.培养过程中土壤Cd形态变化表明,烟曲霉在该体系下主要去除土壤中弱酸溶态和可还原态的Cd,可氧化态Cd含量在培养前后基本保持不变.这种方法的提出为微生物去除土壤重金属污染提供了新的思路.     

Efficacy of two chemical coagulants and three different filtration media on removal of Aspergillus flavus from surface water

Aquatic fungi are common in various aqueous environments and play potentially crucial roles in nutrient and carbon cycling as well as interacting with other organisms. Species of Aspergillus are the most common fungi that occur in water. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the efficacy of two coagulants, aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride, used at different concentrations to treat drinking water, in removing Aspergillusflavus, as well as testing three different filtration media： sand, activated carbon, and ceramic granules, for their removal of fungi from water. The results revealed that both coagulants were effective in removing fungi and decreasing the turbidity of drinking water, and turbidity decreased with increasing coagulant concentration. Also, at the highest concentration of the coagulants, A. flavus was decreased by 99.6% in the treated water. Among ceramic granules, activated carbon, and sand used as media for water filtration, the sand and activated carbon filters were more effective in removing A.flavus than ceramic granules while simultaneously decreasing the turbidity levels in the test water samples. Post-treatment total organic carbon （TOC） and total nitrogen （TN） concentrations in the experimental water did not decrease; on the contrary, TN concentrations increased with the increasing dosage of coagulants. The filtration process had no effect in reducing TOC and TN in tested water.     

Potential bioremediation of mercury-contaminated substrate using filamentous fungi isolated from forest soil

The use of filamentous fungi in bioremediation of heavy metal contamination has been developed recently. This research aims to observe the capability of filamentous fungi isolated from forest soil for bioremediation of mercury contamination in a substrate. Six fungal strains were selected based on their capability to grow in 25 mg/L Hg2+-contaminated potato dextrose agar plates. Fungal strain KRP1 showed the highest ratio of growth diameter, 0.831, thus was chosen for further observation.Identification based on colony and cell morphology carried out by 18S rRNA analysis gave a 98%match to Aspergillus flavus strain KRP1. The fungal characteristics in mercury(Ⅱ) contamination such as range of optimum pH, optimum temperature and tolerance level were 5.5–7 and 25–35℃ and 100 mg/L respectively. The concentration of mercury in the media affected fungal growth during lag phases. The capability of the fungal strain to remove the mercury(Ⅱ) contaminant was evaluated in 100 mL sterile 10 mg/L Hg2+-contaminated potato dextrose broth media in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks inoculated with 108spore/mL fungal spore suspension and incubation at 30℃ for 7 days. The mercury(Ⅱ) utilization was observed for flasks shaken in a 130 r/min orbital shaker(shaken) and nonshaken flasks(static) treatments. Flasks containing contaminated media with no fungal spores were also provided as control. All treatments were done in triplicate. The strain was able to remove 97.50%and 98.73% mercury from shaken and static systems respectively. A. flavus strain KRP1 seems to have potential use in bioremediation of aqueous substrates containing mercury(Ⅱ) through a biosorption mechanism.     

14C‐labeled aflatoxin B1 prepared with yeastlike cultures of Aspergillus parasiticus

Abstract

A simple method was developed to produce ¹⁴C‐labeled aflatoxin B₁ by using the yeastlike phase of Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999. Yeastlike cultures resulted from absence of manganese in a synthetic medium. Sodium acetate‐1‐¹⁴C had a 0.22% average incorporation; sodium acetate‐1,2‐¹⁴C, 0.70%. The average yield of labeled B₁ was 10 mg/500 ml medium with an average specific activity of either 63.3 mCi/mole (C‐l label) or 194.3 mCi/mole (C‐1, 2 label).
