基于16S rRNA基因测序法分析北京霾污染过程中PM2.5和PM10细菌群落特征

2013年1月8~14日,北京出现了严重的霾污染.霾污染时高浓度的大气颗粒物增加了暴露人群的健康风险,而大气中的微生物也可能带来一些风险,但目前对霾污染时大气中微生物组成了解较少.本研究选取了2013年1月8~14日北京7d的PM2.5和PM10采样样本,通过对细菌16S rRNA基因V3区扩增和Mi Seq测序,得到PM2.5和PM10中的细菌群落结构特征,并将结果与相同采样样本的宏基因组测序结果及三项国外基于16S rRNA基因测序方法的大气中细菌研究结果进行了比较.研究发现7 d连续采样条件下,PM2.5中细菌群落结构在门和属的水平上均差别不大.在属级别上,节杆菌属(Arthrobacter)和弗兰克氏菌属(Frankia)是北京冬季大气中细菌群落的主要类群.16S rRNA基因测序与宏基因组测序结果对比分析发现,在属级别上,两种分析方法中有39个相同的属类群(两种分析方法丰度前50的细菌类群合并所得),弗兰克氏菌属(Frankia)和副球菌属(Paracoccus)在16S rRNA基因测序分析结果中相对含量较多,而考克氏菌属(Kocuria)和地嗜皮菌属(Geodermatophilus)在宏基因组测序结果中相对含量较高.在门和属的水平上,PM2.5和PM10中细菌群落结构特征呈现出相似的规律.在门水平上,放线菌门(Actinobacteria)在PM2.5中的相对百分比较大,而厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)在PM10中的相对百分比较大.在属水平上,梭菌属(Clostridium)在PM10中的相对百分比较大.与三项国外基于16S rRNA基因测序研究结果对比发现,尽管在采样地点和采样时间上有较大差异,大气中普遍存在一些相同的细菌类群,且近地面大气细菌群落结构特征相似度较高,区别于高空对流层中细菌群落结构特征.     

典型城市内河菌群组成与氮循环功能垂向分布及溯源分析

微生物在城市河流氮循环中发挥重要作用.由于河流的三维流动性,有必要明晰河流微生物组成和氮循环功能的垂向分布以及水动力因子对微生物来源和群落构建的影响.基于16S rRNA高通量测序技术,研究了北运河北京通州段水体和沉积物的细菌群落组成和氮循环功能,解析了环境要素和水动力因子对群落结构的影响,并对河流细菌进行了溯源.结果表明,沉积物细菌α多样性显著高于水体;从组成上来看,变形菌门(Proteobacteria)丰度最高,在水体和沉积物中的相对丰度分别为54.72%和32.36%. PICRUSt2功能解析表明,北运河有丰富的氮代谢功能,共获得47个氮代谢基因.水体和沉积物表现出相似的功能分布：反硝化作用、氮的同化和异化还原作用相关基因丰度较高,生物固氮和硝化作用相对较低.溯源分析表明,水体细菌来自上游、两岸和沉积物的比例分别为60.05%、37.93%和1.05%,而沉积物细菌来自上游、两岸和上覆水的比例分别为50.16%、45.55%和1.55%,细菌主要通过纵向和横向运移影响当地微生物群落的组成.环境因子、水动力因子和两者相互作用对水体细菌群落变化的解释率分别为44.22%、3.21...     

海水养殖尾水直排对河道沉积物细菌群落的影响

海水养殖活动对周边水域沉积物生态环境的影响日益受到关注,微生物群落是反映环境质量变化的一个重要指标.本研究采集了养殖区进出水河道4个位点(1个进水渠位点、出水口和2个出水渠位点)的沉积物,通过Illumina MiSeq测序技术测定细菌16S rRNA基因,利用磷脂脂肪酸(phospholipid fatty acid,PLFA)技术对沉积物中的微生物群落进行半定量分析,研究海水养殖尾水直接排放对河道沉积物细菌群落结构的影响.结果表明,4个位点中变形菌门(Proteobacteria)为优势细菌类型,主要包括γ-变形菌纲(γ-Proteobacteria)、δ-变形菌纲(δ-Proteobacteria)和α-变形菌纲(α-Proteobacteria).受养殖尾水排放影响,沉积物微生物生物量明显升高,放线菌门相对丰度降低而拟杆菌门相对丰度升高,氨氧化微生物相对丰度降低.非度量多维尺度(non-metric multidimensional scaling,NMDS)分析表明大部分沉积物细菌群落按位点聚类.多样性分析表明,未受养殖尾水影响的沉积物细菌群落多样性高于受养殖尾水影响的位点.冗余分析(redundancy analysis,RDA)表明氨氮与底泥沉积物细菌群落结构的相关性最大,对细菌群落的影响最明显.综上,养殖废水直排明显改变了养殖场河道沉积物物理化学性质和细菌群落结构,说明养殖废水的长期直排已严重污染河道环境,并可能会进一步对近海生态环境造成威胁.     

冬季衡水湖沉积物微生物群落结构特征及影响因素

湖泊沉积物中的微生物对有机物和营养盐的转化起着重要作用,其群落结构也会受环境因子的影响。为探究冬季衡水湖沉积物中微生物群落结构差异及影响因素,基于16S rRNA基因高通量测序,分析衡水湖不同湖区表层沉积物中微生物群落结构组成、多样性及与环境因子之间的响应关系。结果表明：不同湖区沉积物中微生物群落多样性表现为湖北区>湖心区>湖南区,湖北区与湖心区沉积物的微生物群落结构存在极显著差异（P<0.01）。在门水平上,湖心区沉积物中绿弯菌门（Chloroflexi）的相对丰度显著高于其他湖区,这与湖心区有机污染严重有关;在属水平上,湖北区沉积物中P9X2b3D02相对丰度显著高于其他湖区,说明该菌属更适宜在水生植物丰富的环境下生长繁衍。有机碳（TOC）浓度是衡水湖水体沉积物微生物群落结构的关键影响因素,TOC浓度与微生物菌属相对丰度的高相关性与沉积物有机污染严重有关。     

DNA和cDNA水平对比研究施肥对稻田土壤细菌多样性的影响

依托长沙农业环境观测研究站不同施肥方式长期定位试验,直接从土壤中抽提总DNA和RNA,应用T-RFLP和RTPCR技术在DNA和c DNA水平对比研究施肥对亚热带稻田土壤细菌丰度和群落结构的影响.结果表明,施肥和秸秆还田显著改变了土壤细菌群落组成(DNA水平)和转录组成(c DNA水平)结构,且不同处理中DNA水平的T-RFLP图谱与cDNA水平相差很大.施肥和秸秆还田降低了土壤中存在的细菌多样性,对土壤中转录的细菌多样性没有影响.土壤16S rRNA基因丰度(DNA水平)平均是其转录丰度(c DNA水平)的337倍,与不施氮肥处理(N0)相比,平衡施肥(NPK)没有改变土壤细菌的数量,在平衡施肥的基础上进行秸秆还田增加了土壤细菌的数量,但高量与低量秸秆还田没有显著差异.RDA分析表明,稻田土壤中铵态氮含量是调控各处理土壤中存在及转录的细菌群落的关键因子.总体而言,不管在DNA还是c DNA水平,研究施肥对土壤细菌丰度的影响均是可行并可信的;但只有在c DNA水平开展研究,才能有效发现细菌群落对环境的适应性.     

重金属污染对不同生境中微生物群落结构的影响

重金属污染严重危害了生态系统中微生物群落的多样性和组成结构,然而目前关于重金属污染对“地表水-沉积物-地下水”这3种生境中微生物群落结构的影响差异知之甚少.以唐河污水库地表水、沉积物和地下水为研究对象,基于16S rRNA高通量测序技术分析对比不同生境下微生物群落多样性和组成差异,揭示了3种栖息地中微生物群落结构的主要驱动因素.结果表明,不同生境中微生物群落的多样性具有显著差异,地下水微生物α多样性显著高于沉积物微生物和地表水微生物;不同生境中的微生物物种组成也具有显著差异,地表水中Pedobacter、Hydrogenophaga、Flavobacterium和Algoriphagus丰度较高,沉积物中Ornatilinea、Longilinea、Thermomarinilinea和Bellilinea等重金属耐受菌占据主要优势,而Arthrobacter、Gallionella和Thiothrix是地下水中的标志性物种;理化因素和重金属变量共同驱动了3种生境中微生物的群落结构变化,pH、 NO^-₃-N和Li是影响地表水微生物群落结构的主要...     

基于454和Illumina高通量测序平台对长江口邻近海域沉积物微生物群落的比较分析

作为第二代测序技术的主要平台, 454和Illumina测序方法在微生物核酸分析方面有着广泛应用。本研究以16S rRNA基因为标靶, 分别采用454和Illumina测序技术对长江口邻近海域表层沉积物中的微生物DNA进行分析, 通过对序列长度、微生物群落多样性及组成进行比较, 分析两种方法在沉积物微生物群落结构研究方面的适用性。结果表明, Illumina测序获得的序列数和OTU数要多于454, 其中获得的OTUs中以非优势菌群为主。Illumina与454相比能够检出更多微生物菌群, 且检测到的稀有菌群占有较大比例。综上可知, Illumina测序技术在分析微生物群落多样性及物种组成方面要优于454测序技术, 454的长序列优势并未能体现出来, 且454测序技术可能低估了微生物组成及其多样性。     

典农河沉积物细菌群落结构特征及其与重金属的关系

不同种植方式对亚热带红壤微生物多样性的影响

土壤微生物在推动土壤碳循环过程方面发挥着重要作用,然而种植方式的改变对土壤微生物多样性的影响机制还不十分清楚.本研究采集湖南省盘塘县长期定位试验站红壤稻田(PR)、旱地(UC)及水旱轮作(PR)这3种不同种植方式的土壤样品,采用末端限制性酶切片段长度多态性分析(T-RFLP)技术和实时荧光定量(RT-PCR)技术分析了土壤细菌16S rRNA基因的多样性和丰度,研究种植方式改变对土壤微生物数量、群落结构及其多样性的影响.结果表明,3种种植方式的土壤细菌16S rRNA基因数量(以干土计)为2.5×109~1.5×1010拷贝·g-1,与PR相比,UP和UC处理16S rRNA基因丰度显著下降(P0.05).同时,3种种植方式下土壤细菌的优势类群为变形菌(76、90和327 bp;相对丰度47%~53%)和绿弯菌(65 bp;相对丰度10%~12%).冗余分析表明种植方式改变了土壤理化性质,导致土壤细菌群落结构特征的显著变化,而土壤理化性质中有机碳和全氮含量是影响土壤细菌群落结构的主要因子.多样性指数分析(香农指数和均匀度指数)显示种植水稻的土壤细菌多样性最高,显著高于水旱轮作和旱地土壤.可见,种植方式的改变对土壤群落组成和数量造成了深刻的影响,而水稻种植是亚热带红壤可持续利用的一种有效方式,其更有利于土壤有机质的累积,土壤肥力及微生物多样性均较高.     

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.     

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.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.
