Natural recovery of different areas of a deserted quarry in South China

A quarry is a surface mining operated place, which produces enormous quantities of gravel, limestone, and other materials for industrial and construction applications. Restoration and revegetation of deserted quarries are becoming increasingly important. Three areas of a typical quarry in South China: terrace for crushed materials (terrace), spoiled mound, and remaining side slope, were investigated, to compare the existing plant species and to study the relationship between environmental factors and revegetation. The plant species composition of these three areas was found to differ significantly after eight years of natural recovery. The typical plant communities found over them were composed of gramineous herbs, fems, and shrubs. Soil organic matter, soil moisture, and soil bulk density were considered to be the major determining factors for vegetation succession. There existed abiotic and biotic thresholds during quarrying restoration. Suggestions had been presented that could have accelerated the process of natural recovery in quarries.     

Effects of nicotinamide and riboflavin on the biodesulfurization activity of dibenzothiophene by Rhodococcus erythropolis USTB-03

Rhodococcus erythropolis USTB-03 is a promising bacterial strain for the biodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) via a sulfurspecific pathway in which DBT is converted to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2HBP) as an end product. The effects of nicotinamide and riboflavin on the sulfur specific activity (SA) of DBT biodesulfurization by R. erythropolis USTB-03 were investigated. Both nicotinamide and riboflavin were found to enhance the expression of SA, which was not previously reported. When R. erythropolis USTB-03 was grown on a medium containing nicotinamide of 10. 0 mmol or riboflavin of 50. 0 μnol, SA was raised from 68. 0 or so to more than 130 mmol 2HBP/(kg dry cells. h). When R. erythropolis USTB-03 was grown in the presence of both nicotinamide of 5. 0 mmol and riboflavin of 25. 0 μmol, SA was further increased to 159. 0 mmol 2HBP/(kg dry cells. h). It is suggested that the biological synthesis of reduced form of flavin mononucleotide (FMNH2), an essential coenzyme for the activities of biodesulfurization enzyme Dsz C and A, might be enhanced by nicotinamide and riboflavin, which was responsible for the increased SA of R. erythropolis USTB-03.     

以萘为共代谢的芘的好氧生物降解

为更好有效去除地下水中的常见污染物芘,以萘为降解基质,利用苍白杆菌降解芘,并对反应影响因素进行了研究,模拟了反应动力学。结果表明：浓度为100 mg·L-1、pH=7、25℃、萘的初始反应24 h后萘的去除率达到99.84%,芘的去除率达到37.5%。另外,菌株在萘初始浓度不同的条件下对萘的降解符合一级动力学,对芘的降解符合二级动力学。结果表明苍白杆菌在去除地下水中的萘和芘方面具有很大前景。     

氧化亚铁硫杆菌对酸化铅锌尾矿中Zn、As淋溶释放的影响

以青海某铅锌尾矿为研究对象进行酸预处理加速模拟静态淋溶实验,重点研究了氧化亚铁硫杆菌（At.f菌）接种量变化对尾矿中重金属Zn、As迁移释放的影响。结果表明,随时间延长,接种量变化均可导致淋溶体系pH值下降、电导率上升,氧化还原电位先上升后下降。At.f菌可明显促进Zn、As的释放,不同接种量对重金属的迁移释放作用不同;At.f菌存在下,Zn的释放能力大于As,Zn优先于As溶出,Zn、As浓度均表现为快速释放和缓慢释放并趋于平稳两个阶段,Evolich模型和Guass模型可分别描述Zn、As的释放过程。通过对细菌淋溶前后残渣SEM-EDS及XRD图谱分析发现,淋溶后尾矿颗粒结构疏松,表面腐蚀明显,生成了CaSO4、钙磷石等不溶物,使Zn、As后期释放减慢。

冬季黄渤海DMS、DMSP和CH4的分布及影响因素

于2017年12月~2018年1月现场测定了黄、渤海表层海水中二甲基硫（DMS）、二甲巯基丙酸内盐（DMSP）以及溶解甲烷（CH₄）的含量，对DMS、DMSP及CH₄的浓度分布和相互关系进行了研究.通过培养实验探究了DMSP降解对DMS和CH₄生成的影响，并估算了DMS及CH₄的海-气通量.结果表明，表层海水中DMS、DMSPd、DMSPp及CH₄的平均浓度分别为（1.39±1.21），（2.87±1.54），（5.59±4.64），（6.91±2.77）nmol/L.DMS、DMSP与Chl-a水平分布基本一致，均呈现近岸高、远海低的趋势.垂直分布上，DMS、DMSP浓度最大值均出现在浅水层，而CH₄浓度则随深度的增加而增大，至底层达到最大值.相关性分析表明，DMS、DMSPp与Chl-a存在显著的正相关关系，CH₄与DMSPd、DMSPp浓度均存在一定的正相关性（P<0.05）.培养实验结果表明，海水中本底DMSPd的浓度越高，DMS的生产速率越大.冬季黄、渤海DMS和CH₄海-气通量的平均值分别为（2.73±3.18），（8.14±7.68）μmol/（m²·d），表明冬季黄、渤海是大气中DMS、CH₄重要的源.
