葡萄糖补料对白腐真菌P.chrysosporium产木质素降解酶的影响

为了提高木质素降解酶的产量,采用氮限制培养基(C/N=56.0/8.8),研究了葡萄糖补料对P.chrysosporium产木质素降解酶的影响.结果表明,在培养第1d即接种24h后进行葡萄糖补料,可以刺激菌丝体的生长和产酶,补料浓度达到2g·L-1时,补料体系中的MnP酶活可提高至空白对照样(不进行补料)的2.5倍.同时,对葡萄糖分批补料方式进行的试验结果显示,培养过程中每24h进行1次补料,葡萄糖补料终浓度为1.5g·L-1的补料方式,与每48h的补料方式相比,产酶效果更好.MnP酶活峰值和达到峰值时酶的总产量可提高至空白对照样(不进行补料)的2.7倍和3.0倍,且酶活能够在200U·L-1以上稳定4d.实验结果说明,葡萄糖补料可以有效刺激白腐真菌产酶,且连续低浓度葡萄糖补料可获得较优的产酶效果.     

白腐真菌批式发酵动力学模型研究

为了进一步认识白腐真菌发酵产酶机理并指导相关发酵工艺设计,在一系列试验研究的基础上,建立了描述黄孢原毛平革菌批式发酵过程的动力学模型,并采用自由悬浮和固定化2种培养条件下的试验数据分别回归了模型各参数.模拟计算结果表明,生物量、葡萄糖、氨氮、木质素酶浓度的的计算值与实测值的偏差在15%以内.对比2种培养条件下的模型参数发现,二者得到的最大生物量浓度均为1.78 g/L;固定化培养菌体的比增长速率值(0.668 3 d-1)大于自由悬浮培养值(0.514 4d-1);自由悬浮培养中绝大部分葡萄糖消耗于非生长菌体代谢,固定化培养中则部分葡萄糖用于菌体生长,且氨氮消耗更快;菌体的产酶过程与生长无关;自由悬浮培养条件下,菌丝小球可合成MnP(231 U/L),其MnP合成能力为115.8 U·(g·d)-1,且高峰后依然可以保持26.1 U·(g·d)-1,适合采用补料-分批发酵的模式提高MnP的产量及其发酵效率;固定化培养条件下,菌体可同时合成MnP(410 U/L)和LiP(721 U/L),但其LiP和MnP合成能力在酶活高峰之后明显下降,分别由248.9 U·(g·d)-1和80.1 U·(g·d)-1下降到0 U·(g·d)-1和6.04 U·(g·d)-1,故而在考虑补料-分批发酵模式时,补料时机应选择在培养中期的LiP与MnP峰值之前.     

Hg~(2+)对剩余污泥厌氧消化过程中物质释放的影响

以某采用A/O生物除磷工艺的污水处理厂排出的富磷剩余污泥为研究对象,设计两组厌氧消化比较试验,考察了Hg2+的毒性对剩余污泥厌氧消化过程中SCOD、VSS、SOP等相关指标的影响,藉此讨论相关物质的释放机制。结果发现,Hg2+的投加可以促进剩余污泥的水解,造成了短期内VSS的快速下降以及SOP的快速释放。当HgCl2投加量为0.25 g/L时,这个短期的时间尺度持续4 d左右;4 d以后,由于HgCl2对产甲烷菌、产酸菌以及聚磷菌均会产生不利影响,HgCl2开始抑制消化过程的进行,导致SCOD积累,VSS、SOP等释放速度减缓。这表明HgCl2可以促进水解释磷,抑制生物释磷。总体而言,投加HgCl2对剩余污泥中磷的释放是不利的。     

白腐真菌培养条件对其分泌木质素降解酶的影响

应用摇瓶试验研究了不同白腐真菌培养条件对其产酶的影响.通过控制不同转速、投加载体等方式考察了白腐真菌的产酶情况.结果表明,在悬浮培养方式下,转速为160r/min时获得的锰过氧化物酶最高(481.6U/L),其酶活是静置、120r/min条件下培养的65倍和43倍;投加载体后,载体固定化培养获得的木质素过氧化物酶酶活是悬浮培养的71倍,载体投加量对其产酶影响很大,只有当载体处于非浸没状态时才有利于酶活产生,否则酶活极低.因此,选择载体固定化—非浸没—振荡培养方式培养白腐真菌可获得更高的产酶量和酶活.     

白腐真菌木质素降解酶的反应器发酵

为了获得更高的白腐真菌木质素降解酶的产量和相应的控制策略,应用5L搅拌罐生物反应器对氮限制下(C/N=56/2.2)P.chrysosporium产木质素降解酶进行了放大研究.结果表明,在分批发酵试验中,锰过氧化物酶(MnP)和漆酶(Lac)分别在培养第6d和第7d达到峰值,其酶活随时间的变化规律与摇瓶试验基本相同;而采用氮限制液体培养基进行补料没有获得更高的酶活,因此,可以得出采用发酵液体培养基作为补料液不利于白腐真菌持续产酶.另外,在分批发酵和分批补料发酵过程中,均发现体系pH值变化与白腐真菌生长和次生代谢产酶具有较好的相关性,当白腐真菌进入次生代谢阶段开始产酶时,体系pH值开始下降,随着发酵后期酶活的降低,pH值下降的幅度也逐渐变小,当体系酶活接近为0.0U/L时,pH值基本不再变化.因此,在实际发酵过程中,可以依据体系pH的变化间接了解白腐真菌的生长和产酶情况,而分批补料策略还有待于进一步研究.     

嗜碱细菌复合碳源条件下对麦草木质素的降解

在碱性液体培养条件下(pH≈10.5), 研究复合碳源共代谢最佳综合条件下嗜碱性木质素降解细菌6号菌株产酶、降解能力及菌株的生长状况.结果显示,虫漆酶(Laccase)在培养的第4天酶活达到最高值2915.37U/L、锰依赖过氧化物酶(MnP)在培养的第8天酶活达到最高值1152.88U/L,培养10d麦草中木质素降解49.84%.同时通过扫描电镜分析探讨了6号菌株降解木质素的微观过程,证明了6号菌株优先降解木质素的特性和降解方式.     

中药渣与城市污泥好氧共堆肥的效能

以中药渣与城市污泥为原料进行共堆肥实验,考察了不同物料质量配比与中药渣不同时间投加条件下,堆体在堆肥过程中温度、有机质、挥发氨、蛋白酶活性等理化指标的变化情况,确定了最佳的物料质量配比与中药渣投加时间;同时探讨了中药渣投加对堆肥过程中溶解性有机质(DOM)及微生物群落结构的影响.结果表明,中药渣作为外加碳源投加后(60 g中药渣+300 g污泥),提高了堆体的温度,减少了氨的挥发,且提高了堆体中蛋白酶的活性,氨的挥发量减少了35.9%,蛋白酶的含量提高了80.5%.同时中药渣可作为调理剂,在堆肥前期投加,促进了有机质的降解,从而加快了堆肥的进程.而通过对DOM的紫外-可见和荧光光谱特征分析表明,投加中药渣有利于提高堆肥的腐殖化程度;同时通过磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)分析可以发现,投加中药渣后使得堆体中革兰氏阴性菌与真菌的数量有所提高.     

锰过氧化物酶的固态发酵及其对染料的脱色作用

采用稻壳作为基质,利用裂褶菌F17固态发酵产锰过氧化物酶(MnP),通过正交实验对发酵条件进行优化,并对5种不同结构类型的染料进行脱色.结果显示,含水率、温度、Mn2 、Cu2 对裂褶菌F17产MnP有显著影响;MnP发酵的最优化条件为稻壳27g、黄豆粉3g、MnSO40.4mg·g-1、含水率150%、接种量50%、培养温度22℃,pH不调节,优化后酶活达到16.39 U·g-1,比优化前的酶活9.20 U·g-1提高了78.2%.优化后的发酵体系对染料刚果红、茜素红、Poly R-478、中性红和结晶紫的24h脱色率分别达到92.6%、90.3%、93.1%、87.3%和95.6%.     

儿茶酚抑制藻细胞活性过程中IOM的三维荧光特性

以天然水体中藻类为研究对象,研究了儿茶酚对藻类的抑制效应,并采用三维荧光法分析了抑藻过程中胞内有机物的释放及降解情况。水样A和水样B分别采自某护城河和一景观水体。结果显示,儿茶酚能够有效抑制实际水体中藻细胞活性,当儿茶酚终浓度为10 mg/L培养6 d后,水样A和水样B的抑藻率分别达90%和94%,且抑藻率随着投加浓度的增加、培养时间的延长相应增加。在投加儿茶酚后,水样类蛋白荧光峰强度显著增加,但随着培养时间的延长,峰强均有所降低,细胞释放的类蛋白物质发生降解。当投加儿茶酚浓度低于1 mg/L时,藻细胞活性受轻度抑制,会释放类富里酸物质,当儿茶酚投加浓度高于5 mg/L,藻细胞活性受到强烈抑制,不会释放类富里酸物质。投加儿茶酚会增大水样COD浓度,但对水样TN浓度没有影响。     

微生物-生物促生剂协同修复河道底泥——促生剂投量对修复效果的影响

采用5个110L的模拟河道反应器,在投加菌剂的基础上（底泥稳定后向底泥和水中分别注射浓度为0.09%和0.03%的菌剂）,生物促生剂投量分别设计为0.08,0.09,0.10和0.11g/L,单独投加菌剂组作为空白实验.通过为期四十余天的实验研究微生物与促生剂协同作用时的修复效果.结果表明,促生剂投量为0.10g/L时,上覆水COD去除率69%高于其余各组;各协同修复组上覆水中NO₃^--N基本无积累,且促生剂投量为0.11g/L时NO₃^--N去除率最高,可达96%;40d内各组底泥TOC,TN含量变化不显著,延长反应时间至84d,各协同修复组底泥TOC,TN去除率均有明显提升.各协同修复组脲酶活性均波动下降,蛋白酶活性在15d左右时达到峰值,增幅可达106%~237%.通过高通量测序技术发现,43d时Desulfuromonas,Pseudomonas,Treponema_2,Blvii28_wastewater-sludge_group等主要功能菌群的相对丰度与空白实验组相比均增加,且促生剂投量为0.10g/L可使微生物群落向更适宜降解去除氮素及有机质的方向演替,有效改善底泥环境.协同修复对底泥,上覆水水质及微生物群落有良好改善效果,且促生剂投量为0.1g/L时整体修复情况更为理想.     

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.     

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.

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

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.     

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.     

Alterations of organ histopathology and metallolhionein mRNA expression in silver barb, Puntius gonionotus during subchronic cadmium exposure

Common silver barb,Puntius gonionotus,exposed to the nominal concentration of 0.06 mg/L Cd for 60 d,were assessed for histopathological alterations(gills,liver and kidney),metal accumulation,and metallothionein(MT)mRNA expression.Fish exhibited pathological symptoms such as hypertrophy and hyperplasia of primary and secondary gill lamellae,vacuolization in hepatocytes,and prominent tubular and glomerular damage in the kidney.In addition,kidney accumulated the highest content of cadmium,more than gills and liver.Expression of MT mRNA was increased in both liver and kidney of treated fish.Hepatic MT levels remained high after fish were removed to Cd-free water.In contrast,MT expression in kidney was peaked after 28 d of treatment and drastically dropped when fish were removed to Cd-free water.The high concentrations of Cd in hepatic tissues indicated an accumulation site or permanent damage on this tissue.     

Sorption of 1-naphthol by plant cuticular fractions

The contribution of aliphatic-rich plant biopolymer to sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds is significantly important because of their preservation and accumulation in the soil environment,but sorption mechanism is still not fully understood.In this study, sorption of 1-naphthol by plant cuticular fractions was examined to better understand the contributions of respective fraction.Toward this end,cuticular materials were isolated from the fruits of tomato by chemical method.The tomato cuticle sheet consisted of waxes (6.5 wt%),cuticular monomer (69.5 wt%),and polysaccharide (24.0 wt%).Isotherms of l-naphthol to the cuticular fractions were nonlinear (N value (0.82-0.90)) at the whole tested concentration ranges.The KodKow ratios for bulk cuticle (TC1),dewaxed cuticle (TC2),cutin (TC4),and desugared cuticle (TC5) were larger than unity,suggested that tomato bulk cuticle and cutin are much powerful solption medium.Sorption capability of cutin (TC4) was 2.4 times higher than the nonsaponifiable fraction (TC3).The 1-naphthol interactions with tomato cuticular materials were governed by both hydrophobic-type interactions and polar (H-bonding) interactions. Removal of the wax and polysaccharide materials from the bulk tomato cuticle caused a significant increase in the sorption ability of the cuticular material.There was a linear negative trend between K_(oc) values and the amount of polysaccharides or fraction's polarities ((N O)/C);while a linear positive relationship between K_(oc) values and the content of cutin monomer (linear R~2=0.993) was observed for present in the cuticular fractions.Predominant sorbent of the hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in the plant cuticular fraction was the cutin monomer,contributing to 91.7% of the total sorption of tomato bulk cuticle.     

Seed selections for crystallization of calcium phosphate for phosphorus recovery

Seed induces and promotes the crystallization of calcium phosphate, and acts as carrier of the recovered phosphorus （P）. In order to select suitable seed for P recovery from wastewater, three seeds including Apatite （AP）, Juraperle （JP） and phosphate-modified Juraperle （M-JP） were tested and compared. Batch and fixed-bed column experiments of seeded crystallization of calcium phosphate were undertaken by using synthetic wastewater with 10 mg/L P phosphate. It shows that AP has bad enduring property in the crystallization process, while JP has better performance for multiple uses, and M-JP is a hopeful seed for P recovery by crystallization of calcium phosphate.
