研究斜生栅藻对沼液的净化效果,并分析沼液中土著菌对污染物去除效果的影响。在不同的初始藻细胞接种量条件下,根据藻细胞干重、细菌总数及COD、TP和TN浓度的变化趋势,比较斜生栅藻对原沼液和灭菌沼液的净化效果。在藻类培养初期,沼液中土著菌与斜生栅藻之间存在明显的共生关系,当初始藻细胞接种量为0.1 g·L~(-1)时,原沼液中藻细胞干重达到最大值即2.11 g·L~(-1)。在藻类对数生长阶段,沼液中土著菌与斜生栅藻在藻细胞生长量和污染物去除方面表现出明显的协同作用。研究结果表明,斜生栅藻与土著菌组成的共生系统对沼液具有较好的净化作用,且所得的藻类生物量可以作为产能原料。     

不同氮磷浓度下2种无毒微藻的生长特性和脱氮除磷效能

根据城市二级出水水质特性,选择4种不同氮磷水平的二级出水作为培养基,研究纯培养与共培养下,椭圆小球藻(Chlorella ellipsoidea)和斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)在不同初始氮磷浓度下的生长状况及脱氮除磷的能力。结果表明,纯培养条件下,椭圆小球藻在2#(TN=15.00 mg/L,TP=1.00 mg/L)实验组中生物量最高,斜生栅藻在4#(TN=10.00 mg/L,TP=0.20 mg/L)实验组中收获最大生物量,椭圆小球藻与斜生栅藻对TP均具有70%以上去除率。共培养下,3#(TN=15.00 mg/L,TP=0.50 mg/L)实验组收获最高生物量,斜生栅藻生物量均高于椭圆小球藻,表明斜生栅藻在共培养条件下更具有生长优势,培养基中TN、TP含量分别降至5.00 mg/L和0.05 mg/L以下。2种培养模式均可达到对二级出水的深度脱氮除磷。     

固定化斜生栅藻净化畜禽废水中氨氮和磷的影响因素

为探讨Cu2+、p H和流速对固定化斜生栅藻去除畜禽废水中NH+4-N、TP效果的影响,在实验室条件下模拟实际污水处理过程,并采用正交实验方案对结果进行分析。结果表明低质量浓度Cu2+(0~0.05 mg/L)改善藻的净化效果,高质量浓度Cu2+(0.50~5.00 mg/L)抑制藻的净化效果;在p H较高的条件下(p H=9),固定化斜生栅藻的净化效果明显提高;流速对结果没有明显影响。通过正交实验,得出固定化斜生栅藻去除畜禽废水中NH+4-N、TP的优化条件如下:Cu2+质量浓度为0.05 mg/L,p H为9,流速为0.3 m/s。此时NH+4-N去除率为96.11%,TP去除率为97.53%。     

斜生栅藻降解苯酚的动力学研究

研究结果表明,斜生栅藻在驯化１０ｄ后具备降解苯酚的能力,在２００ｍｇ／Ｌ初始浓度下,５ｄ时间内苯酚被全部降解,日平均降解速率达４０ｍｇ／Ｌ。在４００ｍｇ／Ｌ初始浓度下,６ｄ时间内日平均降解速率为７．５ｍｇ／Ｌ。在高初始浓度的苯酚不仅明显抑制了斜生栅藻的生长,而且抑制了斜生栅藻的降解活性,导致降解速度下降。用最近提出的生物降解二级反应动力学方程拟合上述降解过程,在苯酚初始浓度分别为２００ｍｇ／Ｌ和４００ｍｇ／Ｌ下,计算值与实测值之间的标准偏差分别为６．９ｍｇ／Ｌ和４．４ｍｇ／Ｌ。

用水生生物对重金属污染土壤进行生态毒理评价

应用斜生栅藻（Scenedesmus obliquus）和明亮发光杆菌T3（Photobacterium phosphoreum）急性毒性实验方法对重金属污染土壤的进行生态毒理评价，结果表明，斜生栅藻的生长繁殖率和发光菌的相对发光度与土壤中的重金属含量明显相关，并且随重金属投加量的增加，其生长繁殖率和发光度逐渐降低。对3种测试参数进行比较可知，斜生栅藻细胞数增长率是最敏感的土壤毒性检测指标。土壤的毒性在复合污染的条件下比在单一污染的条件下高很多。本研究的结果可以为污染土壤的优先修复提供理论依据。

Enantioselectivity in toxicity and degradation of dichlorprop-methyl in algal cultures

Enantioselectivity in the toxicity and degradation of the herbicide dichlorprop-methyl (2,4-DCPPM) in algal cultures was studied. Enantioselectivity was clearly observed in the toxicity of racemic 2,4-DCPPM and its two enantiomers. R-2,4-DCPPM showed low toxicity to Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Chlorella vulgaris, but higher toxicity to Scenedesmus obliquus. The observed toxicity was ranked: R-2,4-DCPPM>S-2,4-DCPPM>Rac-2,4-DCPPM; the toxicity of R-2,4-DCPPM was about 8-fold higher than that of Rac-2,4-DCPPM. Additionally, 2,4-DCPPM was quickly degraded, in the initial 12 h, and different algae cultures had different enantioselectivity for the 2,4-DCPPM enantiomers. There was no significant enantioselectivity for 2,4-DCPPM in Chlorella vulgaris in the initial 7 h. However, racemic 2,4-DCPPM was degraded by Scenedesmus obliquus quickly, in the initial 4 h, much quicker, in fact, than the S- or R-enantiomers (racemate>R->S-), indicating that the herbicide 2,4-DCPPM was absorbed enantioselectively by Scenedesmus obliquus. The rapid formation of 2,4-DCPP suggested that 2,4-DCPPM adsorbed by algal cells was catalytically hydrolyzed to the free acid, a toxic metabolite. The production rates of 2,4-DCPP were as follows: Scenedesmus obliquus>Chlorella pyrenoidosa>Chlorella vulgaris, consistent with the degradability of 2,4-DCPPM. Scenedesmus obliquus had quick, but different, degradative and uptake abilities for R-, S-, and Rac-2,4-DCPPM. The R- and S- enantiomers were not hydrolyzed in the first 12 h, while both enantiomers were hydrolyzed slowly after that. These results indicate that some physical and chemical properties of compounds are of importance in determining their enantioselective toxicity and degradation. The ester and its metabolite likely played an important role in enantioselective toxicity to the three algae.     

Effects of a surfactant (FFD-6) on Scenedesmus morphology and growth under different nutrient conditions

Surfactants are man-made compounds that are meanwhile omnipresent in the environment, but environmental concentrations of surfactants are such that they are thought to have little risk for aquatic systems. The major anionic surfactants currently on the global market are linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS), a class where the commercially available FFD-6 belongs to. The hypothesis was tested that sublethal effects of FFD-6, i.e. the morphological effect of colony formation in the common test alga Scenedesmus obliquus, occurs at a concentration lower than the no-observed-effect concentrations for endpoints commonly used in regulatory toxicity testing with algae. The surfactant FFD-6 induced colonies in Scenedesmus at concentrations a few orders of magnitude lower (i.e. between 0.001 and 0.01 g l-1) than at which growth inhibition was observed (i.e. between 1 and 10g l -1). Growth rates were lowest for Scenedesmus grown in P-limited medium, intermediate for algae reared in N-limited medium and highest for algae cultured in non-limited standard medium. Growth inhibition due to FFD-6 was similar for non-limited and nutrient-limited Scenedesmus, but colony formation was stronger in non-limited Scenedesmus than in nutrient limited cultures. The colony inducing effect of the surfactant FFD-6 on Scenedesmus occurs at much lower concentrations than growth inhibition and might affect species interactions, the survival of species and the energy flow along the food chain.

Toxicity and bioaccumulation of copper in three green microalgal species

The effective concentrations of copper on the inhibition of the growth of Scenedesmus obliquus, Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Closterium lunula at 96 h (96 h EC50) were determined to be 50, 68 and 200 microg/l, respectively. The low initial bioaccumulation of Cu by C. lunula was found to be responsible for its tolerance to Cu. The amount of Cu accumulated by all three microalgae reached the maximum value and decreased quickly after the peak followed by a slow decrease over the next 6 d. Bioaccumulation of Cu by C. lunula was directly proportional to the initial Cu concentration. After reaching the first peak after 1 d, the bioconcentration factor of Cu by microalgae declined to its minimum value during the exponential growth phase but increased in the stationary growth phase again. This indicates that desorption of Cu from microalgae was higher during the exponential growth phase but lower in the stationary growth phase. Smaller microalgae with low 96 h EC50 values are more efficient in removing Cu from wastewater.     

On the way to cyanobacterial blooms: impact of the herbicide metribuzin on the competition between a green alga (Scenedesmus) and a cyanobacterium (Microcystis)

The hypothesis that exposure to a common and widely applied photosynthesis-inhibiting herbicide, metribuzin, would alter the outcome of the competitive battle between susceptible green algae (Scenedesmus obliquus) and tolerant cyanobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa) was tested. In a long-term (17 d) experiment, Scenedesmus and Microcystis populations as well as mixtures that started with different inoculum composition (i.e. 3:1, 1:1 and 1:3 Scenedesmus:Microcystis) were grown in the absence or presence of metribuzin (100 microg l-1). In the absence of metribuzin, Scenedesmus was competitively superior and out-competed Microcystis regardless the initial composition of the mixed communities. However, this competitive outcome was reversed completely in the presence of metribuzin, where despite growth inhibition Microcystis became dominant. Hence, photosynthesis-inhibiting herbicides may not only affect algal community structure, but also provide cyanobacteria founder populations a window for dominance and thus play an important role in promoting cyanobacteria blooms.     

Pilot project at Hazira,India, for capture of carbon dioxide and its biofixation using microalgae

The objective of the present study was to set up a small-scale pilot reactor at ONGC Hazira, Surat, for capturing CO₂ from vent gas. The studies were carried out for CO₂ capture by either using microalgae Chlorella sp. or a consortium of microalgae (Scenedesmus quadricauda, Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorococcum humicola). The biomass harvested was used for anaerobic digestion to produce biogas. The carbonation column was able to decrease the average 34 vol.% of CO₂ in vent gas to 15 vol.% of CO₂ in the outlet gas of the carbonation column. The yield of Chlorella sp. was found to be 18 g/m²/day. The methane yield was 386 l CH₄/kg VS_fed of Chlorella sp. whereas 228 l CH₄/kg VS_fed of the consortium of algae.     

Plant species affect colonization patterns and metabolic activity of associated endophytes during phytoremediation of crude oil-contaminated soil

Plants coupled with endophytic bacteria hold great potential for the remediation of polluted environment. The colonization patterns and activity of inoculated endophytes in rhizosphere and endosphere of host plant are among the primary factors that may influence the phytoremediation process. However, these colonization patterns and metabolic activity of the inoculated endophytes are in turn controlled by none other than the host plant itself. The present study aims to determine such an interaction specifically for plant-endophyte systems remediating crude oil-contaminated soil. A consortium (AP) of two oil-degrading endophytic bacteria (Acinetobacter sp. strain BRSI56 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain BRRI54) was inoculated to two grasses, Brachiaria mutica and Leptochloa fusca, vegetated in crude oil-contaminated soil. Colonization patterns and metabolic activity of the endophytes were monitored in the rhizosphere and endosphere of the plants. Bacterial augmentation enhanced plant growth and crude oil degradation. Maximum crude oil degradation (78 %) was achieved with B. mutica plants inoculated with AP consortium. This degradation was significantly higher than those treatments, where plants and bacteria were used individually or L. fusca and endophytes were used in combination. Moreover, colonization and metabolic activity of the endophytes were higher in the rhizosphere and endosphere of B. mutica than L. fusca. The plant species affected not only colonization pattern and biofilm formation of the inoculated bacteria in the rhizosphere and endosphere of the host plant but also affected the expression of alkane hydroxylase gene, alkB. Hence, the investigation revealed that plant species can affect colonization patterns and metabolic activity of inoculated endophytic bacteria and ultimately the phytoremediation process.
