Degradation of chlorpyrifos in laboratory soil and its impact on soil microbial functional diversity

Degradation of chlorpyrifos at different concentrations in soil and its impact on soil microbial functional diversity were investigated under laboratory conditions. The degradation half-lives of chlorpyrifos at levels of 4, 8, and 12 mg/kg in soil were calculated to be 14.3, 16.7, and 18.0 d, respectively. The Biolog study showed that average well color development (AWCD) in soils was significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited by chlorpyrifos within the first two weeks and thereafter recovered to the similar level as the control. A similar variation in the diversity indices (Simpson index 1/D and McIntosh index U) in chlorpyrifos-treated soils was observed, no significant difference in the Shannon-Wiener index H' was found in these soils. With increasing chlorpyrifos concentration, the half-lives of chlorpyrifos were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) extended and its inhibitory effects on soil microorganisms were aggravated. It is concluded that chlorpyrifos residues in soil had a temporary or short-term inhibitory effect on soil microbial functional diversity.

Accumulation and relationship of metals in different soil aggregate fractions along soil profiles

Different aggregates vary in their ability to retain or adsorb metals in soil. Five soil profiles were sampled from different soil horizons and grouped, and the concentrations of Al, Mg,Ca, Fe, Mn, Cd, Cu and Pb were determined in six sizes of aggregates(> 2, 2-1, 1-0.6, 0.6-0.25,0.25-0.053, < 0.053 mm). Significantly high(p < 0.05) structural stability indexes(SSI) and aggregate stability indexes(ASI) were recorded in the topsoil horizon, which may be attributed to the high soil organi...     

氧氟沙星胁迫下5种湿地植物及其根系微生物群落的差异性响应

人工湿地中植物及其根系微生物对环境中的抗生素具有较好的去除效果,但对抗生素胁迫下多种植物及微生物响应特征的了解仍然不足,因此有必要研究不同浓度抗生素胁迫下植物及微生物的差异性响应特征。探讨了典型极性抗生素氧氟沙星（OFL）胁迫下5种湿地植物（唐菖蒲、风车草、水葱、水芹、灯心草）-微生物系统对OFL的去除性能。基于不同植物对OFL的去除效率,对唐菖蒲和风车草的根系活力、活性氧、抗氧化系统进行研究,同时分析其根系微生物在OFL胁迫下的响应特征。结果表明：5种湿地植物对OFL的去除效果具有明显差异性,其中风车草对OFL的去除性能最佳,其次是唐菖蒲。植物-微生物系统在不同浓度OFL胁迫下表现出不同敏感性,以10 mg/L为转折点,当OFL浓度低于10 mg/L时,可促进唐菖蒲和风车草植物根系生长,增强植物根系活力以及根系抗氧化酶的活性;当OFL浓度超过10 mg/L时,唐菖蒲和风车草根系被OFL毒害,植物根系活力和抗氧化酶的活性受到抑制。利用高通量测序技术对根系微生物群落进行测定,结果表明,低浓度OFL（1 mg/L）与植物根系微生物群落多样性及物种丰富度呈正相关,高浓度（50 mg/L）下则呈负相关;利用PICRUSt功能软件对微生物群落功能进行预测,发现高浓度OFL胁迫可加快植物根系微生物的代谢速度。

     

Monitoring impact of mefenacet treatment on soil microbial communities by PCR-DGGE fingerprinting and conventional testing procedures

The effect of acetanilide herbicide mefenacet on soil microbial communities was studied using paddy soil samples with different short-term treatments. The culturable bacteria （plate counts）, dehydrogenase activity and changes in community structure （denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） analysis） were used for biological community assessments. Mefenacet was a significant stimulus to cultural aerobic bacteria and dehydrogenase activity while Sphingobacterium multivorum Y1, a bacterium efficiently degrading the mefenacet, only induced the increasing colony-forming unit （CFU） of bacteria but little effect on dehydrogenase activity during the whole experiment. The degree of similarity between the 16S rDNA profiles of the communities was quantified by numerically analyzing the DGGE band patterns. Similarity dendrograms showed that the microbial community structures of the mefenacet-treated and non-treated soils were not significantly different. But supplement of S. multivorum Y1 could increase the diversity of the microbial community in the mefenacet-polluted paddy soil. This work is a new attempt to apply the S. multivorum Y1 for remediation of the mefenacet-polluted environments.     

雄黄矿区不同砷污染土壤中微生物群落结构及碳源利用特征

土壤砷污染是我国乃至世界范围内比较严重的环境问题.有关砷污染的生态毒理效应有很多研究,但对砷污染土壤中微生物群落的关注相对较少.本文以我国湖南省石门县雄黄矿地区长期砷污染土壤为例,采用PLFA及BIOLOG微平板技术考察了7个砷(As)污染程度不同的样点以及一个对照样点土壤微生物群落结构及碳源利用特征.结果发现,雄黄矿区存在多种重金属复合污染,除As含量较高以外,镉(Cd)和镍(Ni)的含量也超过了国家土壤环境质量三级标准.雄黄矿区土壤微生物的群落结构受到土壤有机碳(SOC)、有效磷(AP)、p H以及镁(Mg)、Cd、铁(Fe)、铜(Cu)含量的显著影响.各样点土壤微生物群落均以细菌为主,占微生物总量的71.54%~80.66%,真菌次之,放线菌最少.雄黄矿区土壤中的有效砷对微生物造成了较严重的胁迫.严重砷污染降低了微生物对于碳源利用的多样性以及均匀度.各样点微生物对于碳源的利用也表现出明显的差异.31种碳源中微生物利用较多的只有7类,分别属于糖类、胺类、羧酸类与多聚物,并且以糖类为主.     

不同预处理方式对剩余污泥中活菌菌群及ARGs的影响

剩余污泥作为抗生素抗性基因（ARGs）的储库,对其进行预处理有助于后续厌氧消化（AD）,同时控制ARGs进入AD后的传播风险.本文采用叠氮碘化丙锭（PMA）处理手段,来研究不同预处理方式对活菌菌群及携带ARGs的影响.研究结果显示,热碱、热水解和微波预处理对污泥ARGs去除效果较优,分别为3.32log、3.13log和2.95log;超声波预处理对活菌ARGs仅去除0.58log.在热水解预处理时间延长过程中,菌群大量死亡出现在1~2h间,4h后去除率达2.42log.变形菌门是污泥中最主要的优势菌门,厚壁菌门、绿弯菌门在微波、热水解预处理后实现较大提升.相关性结果显示,sulI与tetC高度相似,且同时与多个科属的微生物成显著正相关,推测其宿主范围较广,且sulI与tetC在预处理中较好的去除率说明其宿主菌对预处理耐受性差;ermB、tetA与占比较高的菌群没有正相关.多数ARGs携带菌对热水解、热碱和微波不耐受,污泥预处理能够降低ARGs丰度,适当延长低温热水解预处理时间,才能有效削减污泥中的ARGs.     

Cd胁迫对大豆各发育阶段生长及生理指标的影响

采用土壤盆栽试验方法,研究了不同浓度Cd胁迫下,大豆幼苗期、花荚期和成熟期植株的生长及叶片叶绿素含量、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、过氧化物酶(POD)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化.结果表明,大豆植株的生长在3个生长期均表现为低浓度Cd(￡0.50mg/kg)下的刺激效应和高浓度Cd(31.00mg/kg)下的抑制效应;随着Cd胁迫浓度的累积,大豆生长整体上受到抑制.在幼苗期,大豆植株的叶绿素含量下降、SOD活性受到抑制、POD活性迅速激活,共同缓解Cd毒性;在花荚期,大豆植株的防御系统得到有效激发,保护性酶POD、SOD的活性急剧升高,叶绿素含量呈上升趋势;在成熟期,因为长时间的Cd毒害,尤其是Cd浓度较高的情况下,大豆植株的SOD、POD活性和叶绿素含量急剧下降.在Cd胁迫下,大豆植株的生长发育以及生理生化指标在大豆的3个生长期的变化模式差异显著,且大豆植株的生物量和株高与SOD活性在整个生长期均表现出显著的相关性.

Responses of butachlor degradation and microbial properties in a riparian soil to the cultivation of three different plants

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the biodegradation dynamics and related microbial ecophysiological responses to butachlor addition in a riparian soil planted with different plants such as Phragmites australis, Zizania aquatica, and Acorus calamus. The results showed that there were significant differences in microbial degradation dynamics of butachlor in the rhizosphere soils among the three riparian plants. A. calamus displays a significantly higher degradation efficiency of butachlor in the rhizosphere soils, as compared with Z aquatica and P. australis. Half-life time of butachlor degradation in the rhizospheric soils of P. australis, Z aquatica, and A. calamus were 7.5, 9.8 and 5.4 days, respectively. Residual butachlor concentration in A. calamus rhizosphere soil was 35.2% and 21.7% lower than that in Z aquatica and P. australis rhizosphere soils, respectively, indicating that A. calamus showed a greater improvement effect on biodegradation of butachlor in rhizosphere soils than the other two riparian plant. In general, microbial biomass and biochemical activities in rhizosphere soils were depressed by butachlor addition, despite the riparian plant types. However, rhizospheric soil microbial ecophysiological responses to butachlor addition significantly (P < 0.05) differed between riparian plant species. Compared to Z aquatica and P. australis, A. calamus showed significantly larger microbial number, higher enzyme activities and soil respiration rates in the rhizosphere soils. The results indicated that A. calamus have a better alleviative effect on inhibition of microbial growth due to butachlor addition and can be used as a suitable riparian plant for detoxifying and remediating butachlor contamination from agricultural nonpoint pollution.     

Determination of respiration, gross nitrification and denitrification in soil profile using BaPS system

A facility of BaPS （Barometric Process Separation） was used to determine soil respiration, gross nitrification and denitrification in a winter wheat field with depths of 0-7, 7--14 and 14-21 cm. N2O production was determined by a gas chromatograph. Crop root mass and relevant soil parameters were measured. Results showed that soil respiration and gross nitrification decreased with the increase of soil depth, while denitrification did not change significantly. In comparison with no-plowing plot, soil respiration increased significantly in plowing plot, especially in the surface soil of 0-7 cm, while gross nitrification and denitrification rates were not affected by plowing. Cropping practice in previous season was found to affect soil gross nitrification in the following wheat-growing season. Higher gross nitrification rate occurred in the filed plot with preceding crop of rice compared with that of maize for all the three depths of 0-7, 7-14 and 14-21 cm. A further investigation indicated that the nitrification for all the cases accounted for about 76% of the total nitrogen transformation processes of nitrification and denitrification and the N2O production correlated with nitrification significantly, suggesting that nitrification is a key process of soil N2O production in the wheat field. In addition, the variations of soil respiration and gross nitrification were exponentially dependent on root mass （p〈0.00l）.

湿地植物-沉积物微生物燃料电池阳极微生物群落多样性研究

阳极微生物种类及群落结构都会对微生物燃料电池的产电及底泥修复效果产生显著影响,因此,对微生物燃料电池阳极微生物群落多样性进行研究分析显得尤为重要.本研究利用风车草(Clinopodium Urticifolium)或短叶茳芏(Cyperus Malaccensis)两种植物结合受污染河涌底泥构建了湿地植物-沉积物微生物燃料电池(P-SMFC),同时构建无植物的沉积物微生物燃料电池(SMFC)作为对照,共3个电极处理组,每组3个平行.系统运行7个月后,分析其产电特性,并利用高通量测序对3个电极处理组生物膜微生物群落多样性进行分析,以探讨P-SMFC产电特性、阳极生物膜群落多样性及不同处理组之间群落结构的差异.结果表明,3个处理组中微生物群落结构存在明显差异,风车草和短叶茳芏两种植物的引入均会对微生物燃料电池系统中的细菌及古菌群落结构产生影响.植物的存在一方面有助于阳极生物膜各类细菌及古菌的生长,另一方面植物也有助于产电系统中阳极生物膜细菌及古菌群落多样性的增加,且风车草相比短叶茳芏而言,更能增加系统的古菌群落的多样性.在细菌群落分析中,3个处理组中都以变形菌门Proteobacteria为优势菌群,其次为绿弯菌门Chloroflexi,在所有菌属中以土杆菌属Geobacter的相对丰度最高,分别为PSM1处理组11.50%、SM处理组14.33%、PSM2处理组8.53%,为其优势菌属,但P-SMFC中该菌属的丰度相对较低.在古菌群落分析中,3个处理组中都以广古菌门Euryarchaeota的相对丰度最高,分别为PSM1处理组79.83%、SM处理组80.20%、PSM2处理组81.67%,成为优势菌门,其中以甲烷八叠球菌目Methanosarcinales的Methanosaeta属、甲烷杆菌目Methanobacteriales的Candidatus Methanoregula属的相对丰度最高,为其优势菌属.且Methanosaeta的相对丰度分别达到PSM1处理组21.43%、SM处理组25.00%、PSM2处理组23.16%,P-SMFC处理组的丰度相对较低;Candidatus Methanoregula的相对丰度分别为PSM1处理组13.05%、SM处理组11.73%、PSM2处理组16.02%,P-SMFC处理组的丰度相对较高.     

Biodegradation of 2-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate in river sediments and its impact on microbial communities

Numerous studies have evaluated the toxicity and endocrine disrupting properties of organic UV filters for aquatic organisms, but little is known about their biodegradation in river sediments and their impact on microorganisms. We have set up the sterile and microbiological systems in the laboratory, adding 2-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC), one of organic UV filters included in the list of high yield chemicals, at concentrations of 2, 20 and 200 μg/L, and characterized the microbial community composition and diversity in sediments. Monitoring of EHMC degradation within 30 days revealed that the half-life in the microbial system (3.49 days) was much shorter than that in the sterile system (7.55 days). Two potential degradation products, 4-mercaptobenzoic acid and 3-methoxyphenol were identified in the microbial system. Furthermore, high-throughput 16s and 18s rRNA gene sequencing showed that Proteobacteria dominated the sediment bacterial assemblages followed by Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Nitrospirae; Eukaryota_uncultured fungus dominated the sediment fungal assemblages. Correlation analysis demonstrated that two bacterium genera (Anaerolineaceae_uncultured and Burkholderiaceae_uncultured) were significantly correlated with the biodegradation of EHMC. These results illustrate the biodegradability of EHMC in river sediments and its potential impact on microbial communities, which can provide useful information for eliminating the pollution of organic UV filters in natural river systems and assessing their potential ecological risks.     

微生物燃料电池恒电流预培养阳极生物膜分析表征

阳极性能是影响微生物燃料电池(Microbial Fuel Cells,MFCs)性能的关键因素之一,同时阳极的接种挂膜过程是影响微生物燃料电池启动效率的关键因素.因此,本课题组提出了预培养阳极作为微生物燃料电池的一种新型阳极的概念,在三电极体系下,通过外加恒定电流预培养阳极,在不同条件下对阳极表面进行电化学选择和生物膜驯化以丰富生物膜结构和厚度.结果表明,阳极的性能与预培养电流大小密切相关,预培养阳极CF-4i(外加4 A·m-2电流密度)通过循环伏安法、塔菲尔曲线、电化学阻抗谱测试,性能好于其他测试组及对照组,装配阳极CF-4i的微生物燃料电池能实现最大功率密度968.20 m W·m-2,是对照组的2.53倍.同时,通过共聚焦显微镜观察发现,生物膜大体分两层,外层的活细胞及内层的死细胞,外层活细胞长在内层死细胞之上.这种结构分布表明,阳极生物膜中的活细胞部分绝大多数都分布于生物膜的外侧,而不是均布于整个阳极生物膜中;同时这也表明不是整个阳极生物膜都具有新陈代谢活性,但死亡的细胞可以继续积累在电极表面附近,活的外层膜负责电流的产生,而内层的死细胞作为一种导电基质.

Effect of incubation temperature and wet-dry cycle on the availabilities of Cd, Pb and Zn in soil

The effect of incubation temperature and wet-dry cycle on the availabilities of Cd, Pb and Zn was studied. Three soils with pH ranging from 3.8 to 7.3, organic carbon （OC） from 0.7% to 2.4%, and clay from 12.3% to 35.6% were selected. Soils were spiked with reagent grade Cd（NO3）2, Pb（NO3）2, and Zn（NO3）2 at concentrations of 30 mg Cd/kg soil, 300 mg Zn/kg soil and 2000 mg Pb/kg soil. The soils were incubated at 35, 60, 105℃, respectively and went through four wet-dry cycles. Metal availability in soils was estimated by soil extraction with 0.1 mol/L Ca（NO3）2. According to this study, the effect of the spiking temperature on the metal availabilities was different among the metals, soils and wet-dry cycles. Mostly, 35 ~C was the first recommended spiking temperature for Cd and Pb while no spiking temperature was obviously better than others for Zn. Three wet-dry cycles was recommended regardless of the type of metals and incubation temperature.     

Amoxicillin effects on functional microbial community and spread of antibiotic resistance genes in amoxicillin manufacture wastewater treatment system

This study aimed to reveal how amoxicillin(AMX) affected the microbial community and the spread mechanism of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs) in the AMX manufacture wastewater treatment system. For this purpose, a 1.47 L expanded granular sludge bed(EGSB) reactor was designed and run for 241 days treating artificial AMX manufacture wastewater. 454 pyrosequencing was applied to analyze functional microorganisms in the system. The antibiotic genes OXA_(-1), OXA_(-2), OXA_(-10), TEM_(-1), CTX-M_(-1), class I integrons(intI1) and 16 SrRNA genes were also examined in sludge samples. The results showed that the genera Ignavibacterium, Phocoenobacter,Spirochaeta, Aminobacterium and Cloacibacillus contributed to the degradation of different organic compounds(such as various sugars and amines). And the relative quantification of eachβ-lactam resistance gene in the study was changed with the increasing of AMX concentration.Furthermore the vertical gene transfer was the main driver for the spread of ARGs rather than horizontal transfer pathways in the system.
