苦草与铜绿微囊藻的相互化感作用

在排除细菌作用和营养竞争的实验室条件下,对苦草和铜绿微囊藻进行混合培养和分开培养,探讨了苦草和铜绿微囊藻的相互化感作用.结果表明,苦草的存在对铜绿微囊藻的生长有明显的抑制;铜绿微囊藻对苦草生长的抑制,必须与藻对苦草的遮光作用相结合才能完成.藻的丙二醛(MDA)积累和藻叶绿素a含量降低表明,苦草释放的化感物质可能造成了铜绿微囊藻细胞内活性氧的增多,影响了正常的光合作用,导致藻细胞死亡.铜绿微囊藻则是通过减弱光照和减少苦草叶绿素a含量,导致苦草生物量减少.     

CO2/pH对三种藻生长及光合作用的影响

研究了在不同pH值和不同溶解性无机碳(DIC)浓度下太湖中惠氏微囊藻、四尾栅藻和菱形藻的生长和光合作用特征.研究表明, CO2/pH对3种藻的影响明显不同.惠氏微囊藻生长的最适pH值为8.0～9.0,pH7.0～9.0时具有较高的光合作用速率;四尾栅藻在偏酸性和偏碱性环境水体中均能较好生长,在本实验的pH值范围内均具有较高的光合作用速率;四尾栅藻在偏酸性和偏碱性环境水体中均能较好生长,在本实验的pH值范围内都具有较高的光合作用速率;菱形藻生长的最适pH值为7.0左右,在此pH值下光合作用速率也最高.惠氏微囊藻的K0.5(DIC)略小于四尾栅藻和菱形藻,表明对外源无机碳的亲合力要略大于四尾栅藻和菱形藻;但当DIC浓度达到饱和时,惠氏微囊藻和四尾栅藻的最大光合作用速率要远大于菱形藻.     

枯草芽孢杆菌对铜绿微囊藻抑制效果的研究

为探讨枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)对铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)的抑制效果,在实验室条件下,研究了枯草芽孢杆菌不同生长时期(延迟期、对数期、稳定期和衰亡期)无菌滤液对铜绿微囊藻生长的影响、枯草芽孢杆菌抑制铜绿微囊藻生长的作用方式以及无菌滤液影响下铜绿微囊藻丙二醛(MDA)含量、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性和光合色素含量的变化.结果显示:枯草芽孢杆菌对数期、稳定期和衰亡期滤液抑藻效果明显好于延迟期,作用第8d,对铜绿微囊藻的去除率分别达到81.19%、91.41%、91.82%;4个处理组铜绿微囊藻的叶绿素a含量均显著低于对照组.添加稳定期滤液后,铜绿微囊藻MDA含量显著升高,SOD活性先升高后降低;在对光合色素的影响中,类胡萝卜素受到的影响不如叶绿素a显著.结果表明,枯草芽孢杆菌对铜绿微囊藻的抑制效果是通过分泌胞外物质实现的,且分泌物具有很强的热稳定性.推测该胞外分泌物能够破坏光合色素,影响光合作用,抑制藻细胞的生长;同时抑制SOD活性,使细胞膜脂过氧化程度不断加深,进而破坏藻细胞的完整性,表现出对藻很强的抑制效果.     

缺磷及高光照条件下紊动对铜绿微囊藻生长的影响

通过试制隔栅搅拌模拟紊动装置,设置格栅转动频率为0,500,1000,1500Hz（对应紊流能量耗散率范围0～8.93×10^-3m²/s³）,研究高光照与缺P的不利环境条件下紊动对铜绿微囊藻生长的影响.结果发现,在高光照（8000lx）下,微囊藻生长明显受到抑制,静止条件下藻浓度仅为正常光照的47.7%,但紊动可一定程度上减缓高光环境的影响,其中高光照下1000Hz组藻浓度最高,相对静止提高了1.8倍.高光照试验组的叶绿素a含量是正常光照条件1.52~1.78倍,因此高光照并未促进藻细胞的生长分裂,而叶绿素a的大量累积可能是铜绿微囊藻应对高光照不利条件作出的抵御反应.在缺P条件下,藻生物量仅为正常营养条件1/6~1/4,但随紊动强度增加,藻生物量略有增加,而叶绿素较初始浓度增加明显,其中1000Hz组生长情况最好.水体紊动可缓解高光照、缺P等恶劣环境条件对铜绿微囊藻生长的抑制,叶绿素a的累积可能是藻细胞对不利环境条件的响应.     

不同风等级扰动对贫富营养下铜绿微囊藻生长的影响

为了探讨不同营养水平条件下动力扰动对微囊藻生长产生的影响,在实验室中模拟了不同风浪强度,分别测定了铜绿微囊藻生长的速率.结果显示.贫营养下,对藻体有规律地施以一定的扰动有助于藻类的生长,扰动使得藻比增长率从0.1 d-1最大增加至0.3 d-1;约4.0 m/s风力最有利于铜绿微囊藻的生长,弱扰动对藻类生长促进作用不明显,强扰动对藻类生长限制作用更显著.富营养下,各风力等级下的扰动对铜绿微囊藻比增长率和最大现存量的影响均不明显,藻比增长率基本间于0.27～0.29 d-1.结果表明,水体中营养水平相差悬殊时,扰动所引起的营养物质重新分配相对于其他因子对藻生长具有更重要的影响.太湖目前的富营养化状况下,动力扰动对藻类生长的直接影响不大.     

超声波法对微囊藻的去除和抑制作用研究

超声波法可以通过破坏细胞壁达到直接除藻和抑制活体细胞生长的2种作用处理废水中微囊藻。以铜绿微囊藻的3种不同藻株为实验对象,对超声法直接去除微囊藻和超声法抑制微囊藻生长的影响因素分别进行单因素平行实验。采用叶绿素a含量作为活体藻细胞指标,分别对超声法除藻、抑藻的最佳条件进行了分析。结果显示,超声法对铜绿微囊藻不同藻株的去除效果基本一致,选用对数增长期的微囊藻在超声功率为1 200 W、超声时间为7 min时,叶绿素a去除率为82%,对微囊藻的直接去除效果最好。改变超声模式,采用多频次间歇超声模式(超声总能量相同):超声功率为1 200 W、隔1天超声2 min,共超声4次,培养14 d后与对照组相比,最终叶绿素a含量下降了95%,有更佳的微囊藻抑制效果。     

外源一氧化氮对亚心形扁藻的生长效应及光谱研究

对海洋绿藻亚心形扁藻(Platymonas subcordiformis)分别进行了不同一氧化氮(NO)浓度和光照强度的培养实验,并进行了叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素含量测定,及室温吸收光谱和荧光光谱测定.结果表明,不同NO浓度、不同加入方式对亚心形扁藻生长有明显不同的促进或抑制作用,NO对亚心形扁藻生长的影响存在阈值.不同浓度NO在不同光照下对微藻生长的作用是一致的,外源NO可以弥补弱光照对藻生长的限制.NO对亚心形扁藻光合色素含量的影响和对藻密度的影响是一致的.NO对藻细胞中叶绿素复合蛋白组成没有显著影响,但对色素含量及其相对组成会产生一系列影响.NO能使藻细胞激发能的传递效率提高,从而提高光合作用速率,表现为细胞生长加快,藻细胞生物量增加.     

氮磷比对水华蓝藻优势形成的影响

通过批量培养实验研究了不同磷水平下N/P比对铜绿微囊藻(蓝藻)和斜生栅藻(绿藻)生长速率的影响,并在太湖蓝藻水华暴发期间,监测了梅梁湾和湖心区水体叶绿素a浓度和氮磷营养盐结构变化,以探讨N/P比对蓝藻优势形成的影响.结果表明, N/P比对铜绿微囊藻和斜生栅藻生长的影响并不表现在一个确定值上,而与水体氮磷的绝对浓度有关,在0.02mg/L磷浓度下,铜绿微囊藻和斜生栅藻在N/P比为4:1~32:1范围内生长速率均较低(0.067~0.074,0.018~0.022d-1),说明受到营养盐的限制;当磷浓度达到0.20mg/L时, 铜绿微囊藻在N/P比为32:1时生长速率达到最大值(0.240d-1),斜生栅藻在N/P比为64:1时生长速率达到最大值(0.380 d-1);而在磷浓度升高到2.00mg/L时,不同N/P比下铜绿微囊藻和斜生栅藻均达到最大生长速率(0.24~0.25, 0.378~0.381d-1),说明氮磷浓度均比较充足,N/P比对生长速率已经没影响.可见,氮磷浓度比N/P比对两种藻的生长影响更大.与斜生栅藻相比,铜绿微囊藻对氮磷营养的生理需求和最大生长速率均相对较低,属K策略物种,易在低氮磷浓度下形成优势.梅梁湾在水华暴发期间氮浓度一直远低于水华较轻的湖心区,而磷浓度远高于湖心区,进而导致梅梁湾N/P质量比(低于20:1)在水华期间一直低于湖心区(124:1),低N/P比是蓝藻水华暴发导致氮浓度下降,磷浓度升高的结果.     

高锰酸钾预氧化对藻活性和胞内外有机物的影响

以实验室纯培养的铜绿微囊藻为研究对象,针对不同生长期藻的特性,采用高锰酸钾预氧化剂,研究投加量对铜绿微囊藻胞内、外有机物DOC浓度的影响;高锰酸钾氧化后铜绿微囊藻细胞及其活性的变化;预氧化对以聚合氯化铝(PAC)作为混凝剂的混凝工艺去除不同生长期铜绿微囊藻的影响.结果表明.低浓度的高锰酸钾对藻细胞光合作用有一定的抑制作用,高浓度(≥10mg/L)的高锰酸钾预氧化会使藻细胞失活并释放大量胞内有机物.当高锰酸钾投加量为2mg/L时,投加30mg/L PAC,第9d、21d、28d、36d培养期的藻去除率分别为81%、99%、58%、35%;在不同高锰酸钾投加量下,第21d(对数期)的藻液,采用高锰酸钾预氧化强化混凝除藻效果最好,其原因可能与不同生长期胞外有机物(EOM)浓度及组分不同有关.藻处于衰亡前期和衰亡后期EOM含量显著增大,过高浓度的EOM影响了氧化剂的氧化效率,使得预氧化效果不明显.稳定期和对数期藻液中EOM含量较低,此时氧化剂与藻细胞接触,易刺激藻细胞分泌物质,而一定浓度的EOM可以起到助凝的作用,使得预氧化后强化混凝效果良好.高锰酸钾还原产物是水合Mn O2,会促进混凝并可以附着在藻细胞表面提高藻细胞沉降性.     

双酚A对铜绿微囊藻生长及生理的影响

为了从生物量、光合系统、膜系统和抗氧化系统等方面研究培养基中不同浓度双酚A(BPA)对铜绿微囊藻生长及生理的影响,本试验通过设置0.5mg/L、2mg/L、8mg/L、16mg/L和24mg/L 5个BPA浓度梯度和1个对照组,检测了藻细胞生物量、叶绿素a含量、最大光化学量子产量(Fv/Fm)、可溶性蛋白浓度、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、丙二醛(MDA)含量以及试验过程中BPA浓度的变化。结果表明:BPA胁迫下,铜绿微囊藻的生长总体呈现"低促高抑"的规律,即低浓度组(0.5mg/L)BPA促进了藻细胞生物量的增长和蛋白质的合成,但对叶绿素a的合成没有显著促进作用,而高浓度组(2mg/L、8mg/L、16mg/L、24mg/L)对藻细胞的抑制与BPA浓度呈正相关;BPA胁迫使得藻细胞叶绿素a含量下降,光合作用潜能降低,膜系统发生脂质过氧化,细胞受到氧化损伤,SOD活力升高,藻细胞生长及生理受到一系列的影响;此外,藻细胞对BPA还具有一定的生物降解作用。     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 3-chlorobenzoate degrading bacteria

A study was conducted to compare the diversity of 2-, 3-, and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders in two pristine soils and one contaminated sewage sludge. These samples contained strikingly different populations of mono-chlorobenzoate degraders. Although fewer cultures were isolated in the uncontaminated soils than contaminated one, the ability of microbial populations to mineralize chlorobenzoate was widespread. The 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders were more diverse than the 2-chlorobenzoate degraders. One of the strains isolated from the sewage sludge was obtained. Based on its phenotype, chemotaxonomic properties and 16S rRNA gene, the organism S-7 was classified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. The strain can grow at temperature from 4 to 37℃. It can utilize several （halo）aromatic compounds. Moreover, strain S-7 can grow and use 3-chlorobenzoate as sole carbon source in a temperatures range of 10-30℃ with stoichiometric release of chloride ions. The psychrotolerant ability was significant for bioremediation in low temperature regions. Catechol and chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase activities were present in cell free extracts of the strain, but no （chloro）catechol 2,3- dioxygenase activities was detected. Spectral conversion assays with extracts from R. erythropolis S-7 showed accumulation of a compound with a similar UV spectrum as chloro-cis,cis-muconate from 3-chlorobenzoate. On the basis of these results, we proposed that S-7 degraded 3-chlorobenzoate through the modified ortho-cleave pathway.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
