转枣树金属硫蛋白基因拟南芥对镉的耐受性研究

对转枣树金属硫蛋白(MT)基因拟南芥植株与非转基因对照组拟南芥对重金属镉的耐受性进行了研究,为实现用转基因生物法治理环境中重金属污染提供依据。采用水培实验,比较了转基因拟南芥与对照组拟南芥对镉的吸收情况。实验表明:经0.1 mol/L镉处理24 h和48 h时,转枣树MT基因拟南芥根部对镉的吸收量分别为22,323 mg/L,地上部分为513,667 mg/L,明显超过对照组(根部93,107 mg/L;地上部分323,437 mg/L);0.001 mol/L镉浓度处理下,转MT基因拟南芥对镉的富集系数为92.0%,而对照组仅为47.3%;转枣树MT基因拟南芥对镉的转移系数为1.053~3.473,因此转MT基因拟南芥属于镉超富集植物,转枣树MT基因显著地提高了拟南芥对重金属镉的耐受性。     

以梭鱼金属硫蛋白基因表达监测海洋重金属污染

分离了梭鱼金属硫蛋白132个碱基对应44个氨基酸的部分基因序列,以此为基础建立了分析梭鱼金属硫蛋白基因表达的实时定量PCR方法,并用于分析渤海南戴河和大神堂近岸海域野生梭鱼金属硫蛋白基因的表达.结果表明,南戴河野生梭鱼金属硫蛋白基因的表达水平(雄鱼:0.012 ± 0.0064 copies/copy β-actin;雌鱼:0.0099 ± 0.0042 copies/copy β-actin)明显高于大神堂野生梭鱼的表达水平(雄鱼:0.0017± 0.0011 copies/copy β-actin;雌鱼:0.0014 ± 0.00095 copies/copy β-actin).该结果与两地野生梭鱼体内重金属残留水平相一致,提示梭鱼金属硫蛋白基因可作为监测海洋重金属污染的敏感标志物之一.

氯化镉对不同鼠肝肿瘤细胞的毒性及对金属硫蛋白的诱导研究

本文比较了氯化镉对两种去分化和五种分化的鼠肝肿瘤细胞株的细胞毒性以及对金属硫蛋白的诱导能力。结果表明,经2μM氯化镉处理18h后,90—95％的细胞浆中镉同金属硫蛋白结合,而只有5—10％的镉同高分子量部分相连。在IIE细胞中镉与金属硫蛋白的结合取决于氯化镉的浓度与处理时间。当氯化镉浓度高达20μM时对去分化细胞的存活率未见有明显影响,但当浓度为3—10μM时则对分化细胞的存活率有显著影响。这种细胞毒性似与高分子量部分结合的镉的量有关,且氯化镉对这两种细胞的金属硫蛋白有不同的诱导能力。     

稀土元素钕对菲律宾蛤仔金属硫蛋白的诱导效应

稀土元素能否诱导海洋生物合成MTs(金属硫蛋白),将影响到MTs对海水重金属的指示作用. 以菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)为试验动物,采用含稀土Nd3+的人工海水对其进行暴露培养,测定蛤仔鳃部和内脏中MTs含量随暴露剂量和时间的变化. 结果表明,Nd3+暴露能够增加蛤仔体内MTs含量. ρ(Nd3+)为0.1～10 μg/L时能明显促进蛤仔鳃和内脏MTs的合成;蛤仔在ρ(Nd3+)为1 μg/L下暴露培养7 d,内脏MTs含量达到最高水平;同时,光谱扫描及SDS-PAGE分析表明,Nd3+诱导的蛤仔内脏中MTs在258 nm处有特征吸收峰,主要以二聚体和三聚体的形式存在,分子质量分别为13.0和18.1 ku.      

理化因子对集胞藻PCC6803溶血素溶血活性的影响

研究了保存温度以及添加稳定剂、氧化剂、还原剂、螯合剂和金属离子对集胞藻(Synechocystis sp. PCC6803)野生型菌株产生的溶血素的溶血活性的影响.结果表明,该溶血素在提取初始仅具有较低的溶血活性,但在提取3～6 d后,溶血活性急剧升高,之后随保存时间延长逐渐降低.-20 ℃低温保存有利于该溶血素活性的维持.添加半胱氨酸盐酸盐、牛血清白蛋白和血红蛋白都能提高其溶血活性,可以作为该溶血素的稳定剂;氧化剂H₂O₂能显著提高其溶血活性,而还原剂β-巯基乙醇、二硫苏糖醇显著抑制其溶血活性,说明该溶血素为非巯基依赖型溶血素.金属离子Ca2+,Co2+,Fe3+,Ni2+,Cu2+,Mn2+和Mg2+均会抑制其溶血活性,仅Zn2+能增加其溶血活性,金属螯合剂EDTA也能增强其溶血活性.      

Use of Azotobacter sp.as an indicator to detect the toxicity of heavy metals in soils

A physiological strain of microorganism - Azotobacter sp. has been adopted as an indicator to detect the toxicity of heavy metals in soils. The concentration of heavy metals to which Azotobacter sp. was behaving initially to have the resistance to heavy metals is defined as the critical poisoning concentration. The method of physiological threshold adopted can have a quantitative determination with reproducible results. The determined critical poisoning concentration is basically consistent with the results of heavy metals and arsenic toxicities to the bacteria reported recently in literatures. Total 9 typical soils, including 6 zonal soils and 3 purple soils, in the whole country were determined for the toxicities of 5 heavy metals and arsenic to Azotobacter sp. that resulted in 48 critical poisoning concentrations.

采用添加NaH_2PO_4的方法调节猪场污水中氮磷比(N∶P)分别为8∶1、16∶1、32∶1和64∶1,以未添加NaH_2PO_4的污水为对照(氮磷比为532∶1),探讨一株耐污绿球藻(Chlorococcum sp.)在不同氮磷比污水中的生长性能及其对猪场污水(初始氨氮浓度为291.31 mg·L~(-1))的净化效果.结果表明:经过12 d的培养,绿球藻(接种密度为400×104cells·m L~(-1))在N∶P为64∶1的污水中生长最好,且对污水中氨态氮和总氮的去除效果最佳,细胞密度和生物量分别为3393×104cells·m L~(-1)和0.49 g·L~(-1),对氨态氮和总氮的去除率分别为74.94%和48.78%,显著高于对照组,氨态氮浓度降低到73.01 mg·L~(-1),总氮浓度降低到148.96 mg·L~(-1).培养期间各试验组污水中硝态氮浓度均升高.培养12 d后,N∶P为64∶1组污水中总磷浓度降低为3.07 mg·L~(-1),去除率为71.86%.综上,绿球藻在N∶P为64∶1的污水中生长性能及其对污水中氨态氮和总氮的去除效果均最佳,可使污水中的氨态氮和总磷浓度基本达到相关排放标准.     

固定化泛菌对底泥中孔雀石绿的降解

用2%海藻酸钠对孔雀石绿高效降解菌Pantoea sp.EF192586菌株进行固定化包埋,研究固定菌对底泥中孔雀石绿的降解情况。研究结果表明:固定菌对底泥中不同浓度孔雀石绿均有降解,且0.45和0.95μg/g干重降解率更好,达80%。增加固定菌的投菌量可提高降解速率和降解率,但当投菌量增至1.5g后降解率不再增加。泥水系统中水量减少可以提高固定菌起始阶段的降解速率。当固定菌和光照联合作用时可以提高降解率。     

Biodegradation of benzo[a]pyrene in soil by Mucor sp. SF06 and Bacillus sp. SB02 co-immobilized on vermiculite

Two indigenous microorganisms, Bacillus sp. SB02 and Mucor sp. SF06, capable of degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） were co-immobilized on vermiculite by physical adsorption and used to degrade benzo[a] pyrene （BaP）. The characteristics of BaP degradation by both free and co-immobilized microorganism were then investigated and compared. The removal rate using the immobilized bacterial-fungal mixed consortium was higher than that of the freely mobile mixed consortium. 95.3% of BaP was degraded using the co-immobilized system within 42 d, which was remarkably higher than the removal rate of that by the free strains. The optimal amount of inoculated co-immobilized system for BaP degradation was 2%. The immobilized bacterial-fungal mixed consortium also showed better water stability than the free strains. Kinetics of BaP biodegradation by co-immobilized SF06 and SB02 were also studied. The results demonstrated that BaP degradation could be well described by a zero-order reaction rate equation when the initial BaP concentration was in the range of 10--200 mg/kg. The scanning electronic microscope （SEM） analysis showed that the co-immobilized microstructure was suitable for the growth of SF06 and SB02. The mass transmission process of co-immobilized system in soil is discussed. The results demonstrate the potential for employing the bacterial-fungal mixed consortium, co-immobilized on vermiculite, for in situ bioremediation of BaP.     

Cloning and expression of the first gene for biodegrading microcystin LR by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are a growing environmental problem worldwide in natural waters, the biodegradation is found to be the most efficient method for removing microcystins (MCs) produced by harmful cyanobacteria. Based on the isolation of a promising bacterial strain of Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05 for biodegrading MCs, we for the first time cloned and expressed a gene USTB-05-A (HM245411) that is responsible for the first step in the biodegradation of microcystin LR (MC-LR) in E. coli DH5αup, with a cloning vector of pGEM-T easy and an expression vector of pGEX-4T-1, respectively. The cell-free extracts (CE) of recombinant E. coli DH5αup containing USTB-05-A had high activity for biodegrading MC-LR. The initial MC-LR concentration of 40 mg/L was completely biodegraded within 1 hr in the presence of CE with a protein concentration of 0.35 mg/mL. Based on an analysis of the liquid chromatogram-mass spectrum (LC-MS), the enzyme encoded by gene USTB-05-A was found to be active in cleaving the target peptide bond between 3-amino-9-methoxy-2,6, 8-trimethyl-10-phenyl-deca-4,6-dienoic acid (Adda) and arginine of MC-LR, and converting cyclic MC-LR to linear MC-LR as a first product that is much less toxic than parent MC-LR, which offered direct evidence for the first step on the pathway of MC-LR biodegradation by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05.

Biodegradation of 3,5-dimethyl-2,4-dichlorophenol in saline wastewater by newly isolated Penicillium sp. yz11-22N2

In this study,the performance of 3,5-dimethyl-2,4-dichlorophenol(DCMX) degradation by a screened strain was investigated.18 S r DNA and the neighbor-joining method were used for identification of the isolated strain.The results of phylogenetic analysis and scanning electron micrographs showed that the most probable identity of the screened strain should be Penicillium sp.Growth characteristics of Penicillium sp.and degradation processes of DCMX were examined.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the inoculated DCMX solution was recorded,which supported the capacity of DCMX degradation by the screened Penicillium sp.Under different salinity conditions,the highest growth rate and removal efficiency for DCMX were obtained at p H 6.0.The removal efficiency decreased from 100%to 66% when the DCMX concentration increased from 5 to 60 mg/L,respectively.Using a Box–Behnken design,the maximum DCMX removal efficiency was determined to be 98.4%.With acclimation to salinity,higher removal efficiency could be achieved.The results demonstrate that the screened Penicillium sp.has the capability for degradation of DCMX.
