DAPI染色直接定量测定细菌胞内多聚磷酸盐

采用DAPI将细菌胞内或活性污泥中多聚磷酸盐(Polyp)染色,用酶标仪测定DAPI-Polyp复合物发射荧光的强度,以此定量细菌胞内的Polyp。用该方法和镜检法同时测定异染粒含量差异显著的菌株胞内Polyp,2种方法测定结果一致。异染粒含量差异不显著的菌株胞内Polyp定量分析表明,该方法灵敏度高于镜检法和废水总磷间接测定法。

探讨了内质网应激在亚慢性氟暴露致小鼠睾丸损伤中的作用及分子机制.选用健康初断乳ICR雄性小鼠30只,随机分为对照组（C）、低氟组（LF）和高氟组（HF）,分别饮用自来水、5、30 mg·L^-1氟化钠水溶液90 d.亚慢性氟暴露结束后,以睾丸脏器系数、睾丸组织氧化/抗氧化酶和形态结构、精子质量、睾丸细胞凋亡、葡萄糖调节蛋白78（GRP78）、CCAAT/增强子结合蛋白同源蛋白（CHOP）、半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶12（CASPASE-12）、半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3（CASPASE-3）为观测点.结果表明,与对照组比,LF组和HF组LDH、SOD、T-AOC活性下降,MDA含量上升,HF组GSH-PX活性下降,差异有统计学意义（p<0.05或p<0.01）;LF组可见细胞层次减少、间隙变大,成熟精子数量减少,HF组细胞溶解、层次紊乱,空泡化严重,少见成熟精子;LF组和HF组小鼠的精子活力降低,HF组小鼠精子数量下降,畸形率上升,差异有统计学意义（p<0.05或p<0.01）;LF组和HF组睾丸细胞凋亡指数上升,差异有统计学意义（p<0.01）;LF组和HF组Grp78、Caspase-12、Caspase-3基因表达水平上升,差异有统计学意义（p<0.05或p<0.01）.结果提示,除氧化应激以外,Caspase-12和Caspase-3基因表达异常可能是氟暴露致小鼠睾丸细胞凋亡异常的分子机制之一.     

中国近岸海域优势藻种吸收利用磷的过程

通过现场采样和室内培养实验分析了藻类植物的生长状况和细胞结合态磷对磷酸盐浓度的响应.现场调查结果发现,在水华区域藻类植物的细胞磷库分布特点与非水华区域明显不同.室内培养结果发现,中肋骨条藻和东海原甲藻的最大磷酸盐吸收速率为7.71,2.39μmol/（L·d）,最大比生长率分别为0.517,0.262d^-1,磷酸盐吸收同化率为5.9×10^-8,4.7×10^-7μmol/cell,前者具有更快的磷酸盐吸收能力,更高的比生长率和较低的磷酸盐吸收同化率.2种藻细胞内结合态磷通常占细胞总磷库的50%以上,是细胞磷库主要存在形式.中肋骨条藻种群可以通过藻细胞数量增长来吸收环境中的磷源,而东海原甲藻则会优先满足细胞自身的磷储存后进行细胞增殖.在高浓度磷环境中,东海原甲藻种群的细胞不同结合态磷的质量浓度会达到饱和.磷匮乏时,中肋骨条藻和东海原甲藻的细胞内结合态磷的质量浓度与零时刻相比分别降低了45%和66%,前者明显低于后者.培养过程中,中肋骨条藻单个细胞的细胞表面吸附态磷库（95%）比细胞内磷库（50%）的降低幅度更大,东海原甲藻则与之相反.

Adsorption of 17β-estradiol from aqueous solution by raw and direct/pre/post-KOH treated lotus seedpod biochar

Five biochars derived from lotus seedpod(LSP) were applied to examine and compare the adsorption capacity of 17β-estradiol(E2) from aqueous solution.The effect of KOH activation and the order of activation steps on material properties were discussed.The effect of contact time,initial concentration,p H,ionic strength and humic acid on E2 adsorption were investigated in a batch adsorption process.Experimental results demonstrated that the pseudo second-order model fitted the experimental data best and that adsorption equilibrium was reached within 20 hr.The efficiency of E2 removal increased with increasing E2 concentration and decreased with the increase of ionic strength.E2 adsorption on LSP-derived biochar(BCs) was influenced little by humic acid,and slightly affected by the solution p H when its value ranged from 4.0 to 9.0,but considerably affected at p H 10.0.Low environmental temperature is favorable for E2 adsorption.Chemisorption,π–π interactions,monolayer adsorption and electrostatic interaction are the possible adsorption mechanisms.Comparative studies indicated that KOH activation and the order of activation steps had significant impacts on the material.Post-treated biochar exhibited better adsorption capacity for E2 than direct treated,pretreated,and raw LSP biochar.Pyrolyzed biochar at higher temperature improved E2 removal.The excellent performance of BCs in removing E2 suggested that BCs have potential in E2 treatment and that the biochar directly treated by KOH would be a good choice for the treatment of E2 in aqueous solution,with its advantages of good efficiency and simple technology.     

Hygroscopicity measurement of sodium carbonate, β-alanine and internally mixed β-alanine/Na2CO3 particles by ATR-FTIR

Water-uptakes of pure sodium carbonate(Na_2CO_3),pure β-alanine and internally mixedβ-alanine/Na_2CO_3 aerosol particles with different mole ratios are first monitored using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(ATR-FTIR) technique.For pure Na_2CO_3 aerosol particles,combining the absorptions at 877 and 1422 cm-1 with abrupt water loss shows the efflorescence relative humidity(ERH) of 62.9%–51.9%.Upon humidifying,solid Na_2CO_3 firstly absorbs water to from Na_2CO_3·H2 O crystal at 72.0% RH and then deliquesces at 84.5% RH(DRH).As for pure β-alanine particles,the crystallization takes place in the range of 42.4%–33.2% RH and becomes droplets at ～ 88.2% RH.When β-alanine is mixed with Na_2CO_3 at various mole ratios,it shows no efflorescence of Na_2CO_3 whenβ-alanine to Na_2CO_3 mole ratio(OIR) is 2:1.For 1:1 and 1:2 β-alanine/Na_2CO_3 aerosols,the ERHs of Na_2CO_3 are 51.8%–42.3% and 57.1%–42.3%,respectively.While β-alanine crystal appears from 62.7% RH for 2:1 and 59.4% RH for both 1:1 and 1:2 particles and lasts to driest state.On hydration,the DRH is 44.7%–75.2% for Na_2CO_3 with the OIR of 1:1 and 44.7%–69.0%for 1:2 mixture,and those of β-alanine are 74.8% for 2:1 mixture and 68.9% for two others.After the first dehumidification–humidification,all the water contents decrease despite of constituent fraction.And at ～ 92% RH,the remaining water contents are 92%,89% and 82%at ～ 92% RH,corresponding to OIR of 2:1,1:1 and 1:2 mixed system,respectively.     

亚剂量抗生素诱导抗性基因水平迁移

为探究亚剂量抗生素诱导下编码广谱β-内酰胺酶(extended-spectrum β-lactamase,ESBL)基因的接合转移(conjugation),使用从新加坡主要医院的废水中直接分离的可合成ESBL的铜绿假单胞菌(P.aeruginosa)和大肠杆菌(E.coli)菌株作为ESBL编码质粒的供体,以携带绿色荧光蛋白(green fluorescent protein, GFP)基因的耐氯霉素(chloramphenicol,CHL)大肠杆菌SCC1(E.coli SCC1)作为受体,借助响应面分析,检测并分析了携带有ESBL编码基因的质粒在亚剂量水平的四环素(tetracycline,TC),磺胺甲噁唑(sulfamethoxazole,SMZ)和头孢他啶(ceftazidime,CAZ)单一暴露和共同暴露时,从供体菌株接合传递至受体菌株的特征.结果发现,ESBL编码质粒可在无诱导抗生素胁迫下,以平均0.001 5和0.004 2的频率分别由铜绿假单胞菌和大肠杆菌供体接合转移至受体大肠杆菌SCC1菌株,具有较低的"适应性代价",并在质量浓度低于最小抑菌浓度(minimum inhibitory concentration,MIC)的抗生素暴露下更易在大肠杆菌菌株之间传递.大肠杆菌菌株之间的接合转移显著发生在质量浓度低于0.03 mg·L~(-1)的TC与质量浓度低于0.002 mg·L~(-1)的CAZ单一暴露或共同暴露时,并可被亚MIC的TC显著抑制.铜绿假单胞菌与大肠杆菌间的接合转移可在5倍MIC的TC、CAZ共同暴露时被显著诱导,未检测到亚MIC水平抗生素对其的促进作用.     

放射性核素137Cs、90Sr对半滑舌鳎肝脏细胞氧化应激毒性的研究

以半滑舌鳎肝脏细胞（HTLC）为研究对象,利用噻唑蓝比色法（MTT）、乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）、活性氧自由基（ROS）和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）等方法分析细胞活性、细胞膜完整程度以及氧化应激反应相关指标,探究海洋环境中放射性核素137Cs、90Sr的生物毒性效应。HTLC细胞活性随137Cs、90Sr活度升高呈先增加后降低的趋势,且在低活度核素作用下,细胞活性增加极其显著（p < 0.01）,137Cs对细胞膜无损伤,90Sr则使细胞膜损伤显著（p < 0.05）,但二者均能使ROS含量和SOD活性显著性增加（p < 0.05）。高活度核素作用下SOD活性均显著增加（p < 0.05）,但137Cs作用时ROS无显著变化,90Sr则使ROS显著增加（p < 0.05）。研究表明,在本实验活度条件下,137Cs和90Sr对海洋鱼类细胞无显著的生物毒性,细胞能够通过自我调节维持正常功能。90Sr能产生氧化应激反应,对膜系统造成损伤,可能影响细胞多种代谢途径,对生物体具有潜在的毒性效应。
