水罗兰对不同密度铜绿微囊藻抑制作用的研究

通过水罗兰与铜绿微囊藻共培养12 d,研究了水罗兰对低密度、高密度的铜绿微囊藻的抑制作用.结果表明,铜绿微囊藻初始光密度(OD680)分别为0.026、0.257时,水罗兰可显著抑制铜绿微囊藻的生长,使其OD680降低.水质检测结果显示,培养过程中共培养液营养盐浓度一直处于较高水平,铜绿微囊藻OD680降低及生长停滞并非因营养不足所引起.通过实验证实了水罗兰可作为铜绿微囊藻水华控制的生态修复物种.     

Physiological and biochemical responses of Microcystis aeruginosa to phosphite

Phosphorus (P) is a key biological element and limiting nutrient in aquatic environments. Phosphate (+5) is traditionally associated with the P nutrient supply. However, phosphite (+3) has recently generated a great deal of interest, because of the possibility that it is a P source based on recognition of its vital role in the original life of the early earth. This study investigated whether phosphite can be an alternative P source for Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806, one of the predominant bloom species in freshwater systems. The results indicated that M. aeruginosa could not utilize phosphite as a sole P-nutrient directly for cell growth at any concentration, but that phosphite could boost cell numbers and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) content as long as phosphate was provided simultaneously. Specifically, Chl-a production increased sharply when 5.44 mg P L⁻¹ phosphite was added to 0.54 mg P L⁻¹ phosphate medium. Analysis of the maximum yield of PSII indicated that phosphite may stimulate the photosynthesis process of cells in phosphate-phosphite medium. In addition, phosphite failed to support cell growth, even though it more readily permeated the cells in P-deficient medium than in P-sufficient medium. Alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) analysis indicated that, unlike organic P, phosphite inhibits the response of cells to deficient P status, especially under P-deprived conditions.     

儿茶酚胁迫下铜绿微囊藻的生理生化响应

根据儿茶酚抑藻的剂量效应关系,研究了铜绿微囊藻在不同的投加剂量下,藻细胞的生理变化特征,采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察细胞形貌,并测定了超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、胞内磷酸酶(AKP)和还原型谷胱甘肽酶(GSH)活性以及还原型抗坏血酸(AsA)和丙二醛(MDA)浓度的变化。结果显示,儿茶酚使细胞表面出现凹陷或者孔洞,致使丙二醛(MDA)相对浓度增加,生物膜受损明显。儿茶酚剂量≤EC50(0.80 mg/L)时,SOD、CAT和AKP酶活性在1~2 d增加,随后下降,接近于对照样。儿茶酚剂量≥EC60(1.20 mg/L)时,SOD、CAT和AKP酶活性被显著抑制,直到完全低于对照样水平。GSH和AsA也表现出类似规律。     

链霉菌WH63的抑藻效应

研究链霉菌WH63抑藻效应。以铜绿微囊藻作为受试对象,通过平板实验、液体发酵、链霉菌WH63发酵产物分析、藻毒素含量测定和水培青菜,探讨链霉菌WH63抑藻效应。结果发现,链霉菌WH63活菌和过滤除菌后的发酵液均有抑制铜绿微囊藻生长的能力,第4天时接种3%过滤除菌的链霉菌WH63发酵液抑藻率就达到了96.7%,且WH63菌株的发酵液具有很好的热稳定性,乙酸乙酯的萃取WH63菌株发酵液抑藻效果最好,其抑藻物质为脂溶性弱极性物质。进一步分析其第15天的抑藻水样,COD含量比正常生长的铜绿微囊藻下降了61.4%,BOD下降了13.4%,藻毒素含量比其低57.9%,继续培养到第40天时都没有回绿现象,且水样清澈。用杀藻后的水样直接浇灌青菜种子,观察种子萌发数,结果表明,处理后的水样发芽率为100%,发芽势、活力指数、茎长和幼苗鲜重比水对照分别提高10.2%、147%、121%和71.6%。实验表明,用链霉菌WH63抑藻后的水样具有很好的促植物生长和提高植物抗性的效果,为链霉菌以后运用到水培蔬菜抑藻剂的开发提供了一定的理论基础。     

大气压等离子体射流对水中铜绿微囊藻的灭活作用

以铜绿微囊藻为研究对象,将空气源大气压等离子体射流(APPJ)引入到液相,构建新型的大气压等离子体射流液相反应体系,考察了不同APPJ处理方式对铜绿微囊藻的灭活效率,观察了放电处理的藻细胞形态,分析了培养基pH的变化和液相产生的主要活性物质(H2O2和O3)对藻灭活的作用,并探讨了APPJ灭活铜绿微囊藻的作用机理。研究结果表明,当电压为7 kV,空气气体流速为4 L/min,藻液吸光度约为0.200,铜绿微囊藻的灭活率达到99.16%;处理后的藻发生细胞变形和破裂;处理后的藻液中产生H2O2和O3等活性物质,同时产生大量的NO3-和NO2-离子,导致液相pH迅速下降。通过考察主要活性物质(H2O2和O3)及藻液pH因素发现,单一因素灭活效果不佳,主要活性物质(H2O2和O3)和pH的组合因素是APPJ灭活水中铜绿微囊藻的主要原因。     

DNA damage and biochemical toxicity of antibiotics in soil on the earthworm Eisenia fetida

DNA damage and changes in enzyme activities were used as biomarkers to evaluate the genotoxicity and oxidative stress of tetracycline and chlortetracycline on the earthworm Eisenia fetida. The results showed that both antibiotics induced significant genotoxicity on earthworms in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.01) with chlortetracycline having a stronger effect than tetracycline in the short term. The tests on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzymes further indicated biochemical stresses induced by the antibiotics. An N-shaped activity pattern was noted with the enzyme activities being stimulated first, then inhibited, and stimulated again with increasing concentration. The induced activity of SOD or CAT could scavenge oxygen free radicals and protect the organisms against oxidative stress by alleviating the corresponding DNA damage. Compared to enzyme activities, DNA damage as a biomarker was more sensitive and is thus more suitable for detecting low concentration exposure and diagnosing the genotoxicity of contaminants in terrestrial environment.

铜绿微囊藻生长条件优化模拟研究

采用Plackett Burman实验设计与响应曲面法(RSM)相结合,研究了环境因子对铜绿微囊藻生长的影响。首先采用Plackett-Burman设计对影响藻细胞生长的环境因子进行筛选,结果表明:温度、NaNO3、K2HPO4、Ferric.Citrate对铜绿微囊藻的生长有重要影响,各因子影响值大小为E温度EK2HPO4ENaNO3EFerric.Citrate。在此基础上,用Box-Behnken设计对铜绿微囊藻的生长条件进一步优化,通过对藻细胞最大现存量与各考察因子之间的输入响应关系进行分析,结果表明:铜绿微囊藻的最佳生长条件是:温度为29℃,NaNO3为1.059 mmol/L,K2HPO4为0.057 mmol/L,Ferric.Citrate为0.024mmol/L,此时藻细胞的最大现存量为10.8293×105cells/mL。     

Detection of antibiotic resistance and tetracycline resistance genes in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from the Pearl rivers in South China

This study investigated antibiotic resistance profiles and tetracycline resistance genes in Enterobacteriaceae family isolates from the Pearl rivers. The Enterobacteriaceae isolates were tested for susceptibility to seven antibiotics ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim, tetracycline and trimethoprim. In Liuxi reservoir, with an exception to ampicillin resistant strains (11%) no other antibiotic resistance bacterial strains were detected. However, multiple drug resistance in bacterial isolates from the other sites of Pearl rivers was observed which is possibly due to sewage discharge and input from other anthropogenic sources along the rivers. Four tetracycline resistance genes tet A, tet B, tet C and tet D were detected in the isolates from the rivers. The genes tet A and tet B were widely detected with the detection frequencies of 43% and 40% respectively. Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin resistant enteric bacteria were also isolated from the pig and duck manures which suggest a wider distribution of human specific drugs in the environment. This investigation provided a baseline data on antibiotic resistance profiles and tetracycline resistance genes in the Pearl rivers delta.     

插层蒙脱土去除铜绿微囊藻的研究

采用离子交换法制备了烷基糖苷季铵盐插层蒙脱土(简称插层蒙脱土)材料,采用傅立叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、差热/热重联用热分析(DSC/TG)仪和X射线衍射(XRD)仪对其进行表征,并使用插层蒙脱土去除水中铜绿微囊藻,最后通过对藻絮体形态的表征分析了插层蒙脱土的除藻机制。XRD测试结果表明,烷基糖苷季铵盐可以插入蒙脱土的层间,使蒙脱土001晶面的层间距增大;DSC/TG测试结果表明,当烷基糖苷季铵盐用量为一倍蒙脱土离子交换容量时,其插入到蒙脱土的量为13.07%(质量分数);当铜绿微囊藻为2.81×108个/L,插层蒙脱土投加量为0.040g/L,藻液初始pH为8时,叶绿素a和浊度的去除率分别可以达到93.02%和90.1%;插层蒙脱土可以通过网捕絮凝作用去除铜绿微囊藻,当它与藻细胞接触时,其层间插入的烷基糖苷季铵盐可以缓慢释放,抑制絮体中藻细胞的活性,并且不会发生藻絮体反漂现象。     

Data ranges in aquatic toxicity of chemicals

A significant problem for effect assessment of aquatic ecosystems arises from the large ranges of toxicity data, which can be found in different databases and literature. Here, ranges are given for the aquatic toxicity of 27 high production volume chemicals. Based on these illustrative examples and on the current literature on uncertainty in aquatic effect assessment, toxicity ranges are discussed for their possible causes (variation in experimental condition, species, endpoint, time) and ways to handle them (safety factors). Implications and recommendations on the procedure of risk analysis of chemical substances are drawn. Two main requirements for a comprehensive risk assessment are identified, which often play a minor role in current practice (as they are often neglected) as well as in scientific discussion (as they are meant to be trivial). First, data quality must be checked critically before applying any result of a toxicity test. Secondly, experimental data should take into account different species and acute as well as chronic data. If these aspects are considered in risk analysis, which is common practice in ecotoxicology but not always in the context of practical applications in risk engineering, a more comprehensive picture of the environmental toxicity of a chemical substance can be obtained.     

共培养条件下黄菖蒲和狭叶香蒲对铜绿微囊藻光合系统的影响

采用共培养的实验方法,通过测定铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)叶绿素a含量及叶绿素荧光参数,研究了黄菖蒲(Iris pseudacorus L.)和狭叶香蒲(Typha angustifolia L.)对铜绿微囊藻光合系统的影响。结果表明,共培养条件下,黄菖蒲和狭叶香蒲对铜绿微囊藻的光合系统具有明显的化感作用,表现为,处理组中铜绿微囊藻的叶绿素a含量从第4天开始显著(Paried t-test,pFv/Fm(光系统Ⅱ最大量子产量)值也呈现逐渐下降的趋势,说明黄菖蒲和狭叶香蒲对铜绿微囊藻产生了化感抑制,光合效率和光能转化效率下降;而Ik(半饱和光强)和α(光限制斜率)值呈现先增加后逐渐降低的趋势,从第4天开始显著(Paried t-test,p<0.05)低于对照组,表明黄菖蒲和狭叶香蒲的化感作用在短时间内可以激发铜绿微囊藻对光强的耐受能力并能提高藻的光能利用效率,但是随着化感时间的延长,铜绿微囊藻对强光的耐受能力及光能利用效率下降。     

不同质量浓度黄莒蒲和狭叶香蒲对铜绿微囊藻的化感作用

分别采用黄菖蒲（IrispseudacorusL．）、狭叶香蒲（TyphaangustifoliaL．）和铜绿微囊藻（Microcystisaeruginosa）共生培养的实验方法研究了不同质量浓度黄菖蒲、狭叶香蒲对铜绿微囊藻的化感作用。结果表明,黄菖蒲在质量浓度大于10g／L时对初始密度为1．0×10^7ind／mL的铜绿微囊藻具有较好的抑制作用,表现为黄菖蒲质量浓度为10、20和40g／L时,第15天对铜绿微囊藻的抑制率分别为30．1％、51．8％和84．0％;狭叶香蒲在质量浓度大于20g／L时对铜绿微囊藻有明显的抑制作用,表现为狭叶香蒲质量浓度为20g／L和40g／L时,第15天对铜绿微囊藻的抑制率分别为34．2％和77．7％,实验过程中,铜绿微囊藻叶绿素a含量逐渐减少,而藻密度、SOD活性及MDA含量先增加后逐渐降低,表明经过一段时间持续地化感胁迫,黄菖蒲和狭叶香蒲可以诱导铜绿微囊藻产生氧化胁迫,导致细胞结构严重损伤和叶绿素大量分解,从而强烈抑制铜绿微囊藻的生长。     

铜绿微囊藻胁迫对宽叶香蒲叶片光呼吸特性的影响

采用共生培养的实验方法,通过追踪测定宽叶香蒲(Typha latifolia)叶片中叶绿素含量、净光合速率、光呼吸速率及乙醇酸氧化酶(GO)、谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)及过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性,研究不同初始密度铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)对宽叶香蒲叶片光呼吸特性的影响。结果表明,铜绿微囊藻初始密度为1.0×104ind/m L时,宽叶香蒲叶片叶绿素含量、净光合速率、光呼吸速率及GO、GS及CAT的活性增加,说明低密度铜绿微囊藻对宽叶香蒲叶片的光合作用及光呼吸具有促进作用;铜绿微囊藻初始密度为1.0×107ind/m L时,宽叶香蒲叶片净光合速率、光呼吸速率及GO、GS及CAT的活性呈现先增加后降低的趋势,表明经过一段时间培养后,高密度铜绿微囊藻对宽叶香蒲叶片的光合作用和光呼吸呈现出抑制作用。但是在净光合速率急剧降低的时候,光呼吸速率在短时间内仍然维持在一个较高水平,说明宽叶香蒲可能通过维持或增强光呼吸在一定程度上抵抗逆境胁迫。     

美人蕉有机酸组分对铜绿微囊藻的化感作用

对美人蕉叶片水浸提液进行液液萃取得到美人蕉有机酸组分,研究了美人蕉有机酸组分对铜绿微囊藻化感抑制作用,实验结果表明,美人蕉有机酸组分对铜绿微囊藻生长具有低促高抑作用,13.3 g/L和20.0 g/L处理组6 d 后抑制率分别达到98.57%和99.37%,铜绿微囊藻在高浓度美人蕉有机酸组分下,叶绿素含量逐渐降低,总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性出现先增大后减小,说明美人蕉有机酸组分可能通过对铜绿微囊藻抗氧化酶系统逐渐损伤,最终藻类死亡.通过气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)分析,鉴定出美人蕉有机酸组分共含有32种有机酸成分,其中饱和脂肪酸18种、不饱和脂肪酸7种、芳香酸5种以及酚酸2种.     

Evaluation of effects of exposure time on aquatic toxicity with zooplanktons using a reduced life expectancy model

Traditionally in toxicological studies time is not studied as quantifiable variable but as a fixed endpoint. The Reduced Life Expectancy (RLE) model which relates exposure time and exposure concentration with lethal toxic effects was tested previously using fish data. In this current paper the effects of exposure time on aquatic toxicity with zooplanktons and various toxicants were evaluated using the RLE model based on ambient exposure concentration. The model was evaluated by plotting ln LT₅₀ against LC₅₀ using toxicity data with zooplanktons from the literature for metal, metalloid and organic compounds. Most of the experimental data sets can be satisfactorily correlated by use of the RLE model, but deviations occurred for some data sets. Those data sets were satisfactorily fitted by a two stage RLE model. This model was based on two phases: one in the peripheral system and other in the central system. Both the single and two stage RLE model support the hypothesis that toxicity is time dependent and decreases in a systematic way with increasing exposure time. A calculated normal life expectancy (NLT) can be obtained from the single stage model and is in accord with reported NLT but those obtained from the two stage RLE model are in excellent agreement.     

钙离子对混凝去除水体中铜绿微囊藻的影响

以铜绿微囊藻为对象,研究了钙离子对聚合氯化铝（polyaluminumchloride,PAC）混凝沉淀藻细胞的影响及其可能的机理。结果表明,添加钙离子对PAC混凝去除模拟水样藻细胞和浊度均具有促进作用。在PAC摩尔浓度较低时（0.02 mmol·L-1）,最高可将除藻率和除浊率分别提高66.4%和76.8%。三维荧光及总溶解性有机碳（total dissolved organic carbon,TDOC）分析表明钙离子对去除水中溶解性胞外有机物（dissolved extracellular organic matter,dEOM）没有显著作用。利用Zeta电位和絮体形态对其影响混凝除藻效果的可能机理进行探究,发现钙离子能通过压缩双电层和吸附电中和提高藻细胞表面的Zeta电位,从而促进胶体脱稳凝聚。推测钙离子通过与铜绿微囊藻表面的黏附型胞外有机物（bound extracellular organic matter,bEOM）发生阳离子架桥作用促进藻细胞脱稳混凝沉淀。钙离子能够促进铜绿微囊藻脱稳,但是絮体粒径、强度、恢复能力的主要影响因素还是PAC摩尔浓度。     

抗生素类污染物对活性污泥生物毒性测定方法的筛选与评价

尽管衡量化学物质生物毒性的标准方法很多,但关于环境中抗生素类污染物的生物毒性及其对污泥活性影响的科学数据较少。以磺胺和四环素两类作用机理和作用谱带不同的抗生素为研究对象,分别用发光细菌法、脱氢酶活性法、生长抑制法及呼吸速率法进行了抗生素类污染物生物毒性测定方法的筛选与评价。结果表明,发光细菌标准方法中30min的作用时间太短,延长作用时间不仅导致各种抗生素的EC50值大幅度降低,同时毒性排列顺序也发生了改变;以活性污泥为对象的脱氢酶活性和呼吸速率抑制实验的EC50值与抗生素类物质对敏感致病菌的MICs相比异常高,不适宜于作为单独方法准确评估抗生素类污染物的生物毒性。生长抑制实验中,活性污泥混合菌种增殖生长对磺胺类抗生素敏感,而假单胞杆菌对四环素类抗生素敏感。不同方法测定抗生素毒性的灵敏度顺序是发光细菌(24 h)>生长抑制(7 h)>呼吸速率(24 h)>脱氢酶活性(24 h)。用标准方法评价抗生素类污染物的生物毒性,可能导致对抗生素排放到水环境中所带来的风险估计不足。     

Short-term toxicity of pyraclofos used as a blackfly larvicide on non-target aquatic fauna in a tropical environment

Among the many larvicides tested for the control of s.l. larvae, the vector of human onchocerciasis in West Africa, pyraclofos proved to be 100% effective at 100 μg × L⁻¹ for 10 min in river, with a carry of 20 km at 100 m³ × sec⁻¹. Tests were then performed both in laboratory and field conditions to evaluate its toxicity on the non-target aquatic fauna. In experimental short-term gutter tests, the detachment of the total benthic insects was 35% at 100 μg × L⁻¹ for 10 min against 17% for temephos at the same dose and 59% for chlorphoxim at 50μg × L⁻¹ for 10 min. , and were the most affected organisms. The treatment of a river resulted in a considerable detachment of the same taxonomic groups, plus Orthocladiinae. On the other hand, investigations conducted in tanks showed that the 24-hr LC₅₀ for is 150 μg × L⁻¹ and that for 170 μg × L⁻¹, values which are not very different from the operational dose of the larvicide (100 μg × L⁻¹ for 10 min.). Nevertheless, in a river, no fish mortality was recorded. Based on fish LC₅₀ and drift of benthic insects, pyraclofos at 100 μg × L⁻¹ was judged to be less toxic to aquatic fauna in the short term than permethrin and carbosulfan.     

Influence of tetracycline exposure on the growth of wheat seedlings and the rhizosphere microbial community structure in hydroponic culture

In this study, the effects of tetracycline exposure on wheat growth and the microbial community structure in the rhizosphere were investigated under hydroponic culture conditions. Exposure to various concentrations of tetracycline resulted in significant suppression of the growth of wheat roots and shoots, with minimum doses of 0.8 mg L^?1 and 4 mg L^?1 resulting in inhibition rates of 32% and 15.4%, respectively. Complete inhibition of the growth of these two parts of wheat plants was observed in response to treatment with tetracycline at 20 mg L^?1 and 100 mg L^?1, respectively. However, the germination of wheat seeds was not sensitive to exposure to tetracycline. The effects of tetracycline exposure on the microbial community in the wheat rhizosphere were evaluated through traditional cultivation and molecular biological analyses. The cultivation results indicated that bacteria were the dominant population, being present in concentrations of 1× 10⁸–2.45× 10⁹CFUs mL^?1, although 39% to 87% inhibition occurred in response to tetracycline. The concentration of fungi increased in all tetracycline treated samples to 2.5 to 15.8 times that of the control. The highest concentration of fungi (4.27× 10⁸ CFU mL^?1) was observed in response to 60 mg L^?1 tetracycline after 15 days of cultivation. In this stage, a large amount of fungal colonies was observed on the surface of the culture solution, the wheat roots became rotted and the plants became atrophic or even died. Molecular biological analysis indicated that the bacterial community structure was significantly different in samples that were exposed to high levels of tetracycline (over 20 mg L^?1) than in samples that were exposed to lower concentrations. As the concentration of tetracycline increased, the diversity of the bacteria decreased. Additionally, several dominant sensitive species such as Sphingobacterium multivorum were suppressed by tetracycline, while some resistant species such as Acinetobacter sp. appeared or were conserved. The bacteria population tended to stabilize when the drug concentration exceeded 40 mg L^?1.
