Chromosome doubling of Sedum alfredii Hance: A novel approach for improving phytoremediation efficiency

Sedum alfredii Hance is a cadmium(Cd)/zinc(Zn) hyperaccumulator native to China.However, its relatively low biomass restricted the large-scale application for heavy metal contamination remediation. The chromosome set doubling of S. alfredii in vitro was achieved by 0.1%–0.2%(W/V) colchicine treatment. The plant DNA ploidy was analyzed by flow cytometry and chromosome set doubling plants(CSD) were identified based on the obvious different sharp peak. A tissue culture experiment with different Cd treated levels and a field trial with natural polluted mined soil were conducted to study the effects of chromosome doubling on plant biomass and Cd accumulation in shoots. The results suggested that S.alfredii is a mixoploid. Compared with the wild type plants(WT), CSD exhibited typical"gigas" characteristics in morphology including stem thickness, root hair production,number of leaves and size of stoma guard cell. Fresh weight and dry weight of CSD were increased to 1.62–2.03-fold and 2.26–3.25-fold of WT. And Cd content of CSD showed a17.49%–42.82% increase and 59% increase under tissue culture and field condition,accordingly. In addition, the TF and in BCF of CSD were 2.37-and 1.59-fold of WT,respectively. These results proved that it is feasible to promote phytoextraction efficiency of S. alfredii in Cd contaminated soils through chromosomal engineering, which provides a novel approach for hyperaccumulator application in phytoremediation.

为了探明骨炭粉对Cd污染土壤的修复效果及稳定性,以潮土与红壤Cd污染农田土壤为对象,基于土壤Cd有效态、作物降Cd率（DR,%）及降Cd失活率（IR,%）等指标,研究田间条件下施用3种浓度（0.25%、0.50%及1.0%）骨炭粉对Cd污染土壤的修复效果及120,360d后修复效果的稳定性.结果表明：骨炭粉处理均能有效促进潮土与红壤中作物生长,增加作物产量.施用骨炭粉能不同程度提高土壤中pH值、阳离子交换量（CEC）、全磷及有效磷含量;其中,0.5%和1.0%骨炭粉处理均显著（P<0.05）提高土壤pH值、土壤全磷及有效磷含量.与对照相比,不同骨炭粉处理120d后潮土和红壤中有效态Cd含量分别降低32.1%~48.4%、32.8%~56.2%,360d后土壤中有效态Cd仍然显著低于对照,降幅为26.9%~37.8%、25.8%~39.5%.对修复后三季作物Cd吸收测定结果表明,与对照相比,不同浓度（0.25%~1.0%）骨炭粉处理的第一季作物降Cd率（DR_-Cd）分别达36.0%~60.4%、33.9%~58.2%,作物降Cd率随骨炭粉施用量增加而增加.基于降Cd失活率（IR_-Cd）对骨炭粉修复效果的稳定性测定结果表明,潮土与红壤施用骨炭粉360d后,第三季作物降Cd失活率IR_-Cd为21.2%~34.7%和6.2%~21.6%,表明在酸性红壤中修复效果的稳定性大于潮土.综上骨炭粉对Cd污染土壤的修复效果及其稳定性结果表明,骨炭粉在Cd污染农田土壤修复中具有较大应用价值.     

全氟辛烷磺酰胺在小麦和蚯蚓中的富集与转化

研究了不同培养介质和培养方式下全氟辛烷磺酰胺（PFOSA）在小麦、蚯蚓体内的生物富集和转化.结果表明：小麦根系可以从培养介质中吸收PFOSA并向上转运至茎叶.土壤中PFOSA生物有效性受总有机碳（TOC）的影响显著,高TOC含量土壤中PFOSA的生物有效性降低,导致其在小麦和蚯蚓中的生物富集因子分别由（61.24±8.42）和（21347.91±208.86）降至（5.61±0.23）和（1404.92±108.21）.PFOSA在小麦的根和茎叶以及蚯蚓中都可以转化为PFOS,但在蚯蚓中的转化率（（3.87±1.71）%）显著低于小麦（（26.39±3.02）%）.小麦根中PFOS的支链异构体（br-PFOS）比例在低、高TOC含量时分别为（14.8±2.0）%、（66.1±26.2）%,低于茎叶（分别为（63.0±21.3）%、（85.2±2.4）%））,可能是由于根部转化生成的br-PFOS更容易向茎叶转运.小麦特别是小麦茎叶中的br-PFOS比例（（85.2±2.4）%）显著高于蚯蚓（（16.5±4.0）%）.小麦的存在可以提高土壤中PFOSA的生物有效性,从而促进蚯蚓对PFOSA的富集,但对其转化影响不大.本文为小麦和蚯蚓中PFOSA的富集和转化提供了证据,有助于探索环境中PFOS的间接来源.

Anaerobic oxidation of arsenite by bioreduced nontronite

The redox state of arsenic controls its toxicity and mobility in the subsurface environment. Understanding the redox reactions of arsenic is particularly important for addressing its environmental behavior. Clay minerals are commonly found in soils and sediments, which are an important host for arsenic. However, limited information is known about the redox reactions between arsenic and structural Fe in clay minerals. In this study, the redox reactions between As(III)/As(V) and structural Fe in nontronite NAu-2 were investigated in anaerobic batch experiments. No oxidation of As(III) was observed by the native Fe(III)-NAu-2. Interestingly, anaerobic oxidation of As(III) to As(V) occurred after Fe(III)-NAu-2 was bioreduced. Furthermore, anaerobic oxidization of As(III) by bioreduced NAu-2 was significantly promoted by increasing Fe(III)-NAu-2 reduction extent and initial As(III) concentrations. Bioreduction of Fe(III)-NAu-2 generated reactive Fe(III)-O-Fe(II) moieties at clay mineral edge sites. Anaerobic oxidation of As(III) was attributed to the strong oxidation activity of the structural Fe(III) within the Fe(III)-O-Fe(II) moieties. Our results provide a potential explanation for the presence of As(V) in the anaerobic subsurface environment. Our findings also highlight that clay minerals can play an important role in controlling the redox state of arsenic in the natural environment.     

Core activated sludge communities are influenced little by immigration: Case study of a membrane bioreactor plant

Microbial immigrants arriving with influent wastewater may influence activated sludge (AS) ecosystems. However, the extent to which immigration impacts AS communities is still debated. To explore the intensity of immigration impact, we used sequencing technology to track the raw wastewater and AS communities from a membrane bioreactor plant over a 12-month period. We first distinguished core populations from peripheral ones in both raw wastewater and AS based on their occurrence frequency and abundance. The results showed that core OTUs (≥ 80% occurrence frequency) made up a large fraction (> 90%) of total sequences, while peripheral OTUs composed the majority of all detected OTUs but merely occupied a few sequences. A significant difference in core communities between the influent and AS was found, as well as between the compositions of core and peripheral populations. Additionally, the persistent functional bacteria of AS, although not numerically dominant, accounted for 96.24% of the total sequences related to nutrient turnover, suggesting the presence of a small number of longstanding and core functional bacteria in the AS ecosystem. Importantly, 64% of the 5188 OTUs in AS, which accounted for 91.51% of the sequences, exhibited positive growth rates, which suggested that their apparent abundances were due to growth within the plant, not from immigration. Taken together, these results demonstrated that the impact of influent populations on core AS communities was limited. Overall, this work provides quantitative insights into the impact of immigration, which is expected to advance our understanding of the AS community assembly.

Fe/污泥基生物炭持久活化过硫酸盐降解酸性橙G

利用污泥基生物炭（SDBC）固定铁物质制备了一种污泥基非均相催化剂（Fe-SDBC）,用于活化过硫酸盐（PS）以降解酸性橙G（OG）.Fe-SDBC/PS体系显示出对OG优异的降解性能.评价了影响降解的因素（Fe-SDBC金属负载量、Fe-SDBC投加量、初始pH值和PS浓度）.并通过X射线荧光光谱仪（XRF）、傅立叶变换红外分析仪（FT-IR）和拉曼光谱仪（Raman）对Fe-SDBC进行了表征.自由基清除剂实验表明,SO₄^·-和OH·自由基均在降解过程中生成,且活化PS历程主要发生在非均质催化剂表面.分析Fe-SDBC活化PS的潜在机理,表明不同形式的铁物质是PS分解的主要贡献者,Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺的转化循环提高了Fe-SDBC持久活化PS的效果.Fe-SDBC循环实验表明其对活化PS具有较好的可重用性,连续3次24h降解高浓度污染物仍能发挥作用.综上所述,Fe-SDBC作为一种污泥基非均相催化剂可以持久活化PS,从而实现OG的降解.     

铁修饰生物炭的制备及在砷污染土壤修复中的应用

生物炭因具有较大的孔隙度、比表面积以及较强的吸附能力等优点,在环境污染修复、土壤改良和固碳方面应用广泛.由于大多数生物炭表面带有负电荷,而土壤中的无机砷主要以砷酸盐和亚砷酸盐等阴离子形式存在.因此,生物炭对砷的吸附效率通常较低,需要对生物炭进行改性以提升其对砷的吸附效果.零价铁和氧化铁等铁基材料对砷吸附能力强且来源广泛,通过沉淀法、热解法、球磨法和微生物法等方法将铁基材料与生物炭负载形成铁修饰生物炭,可将二者的优良特性相结合,拓展生物炭材料在环境修复中的应用.在对近年来有关铁修饰生物炭的文献进行系统分析的基础上,综述了常见的铁修饰生物炭的制备方法,比较分析了生物炭基底、铁修饰材料以及两者对砷的协同作用机制,并简要阐述了铁修饰生物炭在土壤污染修复中的应用现状,最后对铁修饰生物炭的未来研究方向提出了展望.     

Release of Pb adsorbed on graphene oxide surfaces under conditions of Shewanella putrefaciens metabolism

In this study, Pb(II) was used as a target heavy metal pollutant, and the metabolism of Shewanella putrefaciens (S. putrefaciens) was applied to achieve reducing conditions to study the effect of microbial reduction on lead that was preadsorbed on graphene oxide (GO) surfaces. The results showed that GO was transformed to its reduced form (r-GO) by bacteria, and this process induced the release of Pb(II) adsorbed on the GO surfaces. After 72 hr of exposure in an S. putrefaciens system, 5.76% of the total adsorbed Pb(II) was stably dispersed in solution in the form of a Pb(II)-extracellular polymer substance (EPS) complex, while another portion of Pb(II) released from GO-Pb(II) was observed as lead phosphate hydroxide (Pb₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂) precipitates or adsorbed species on the surface of the cell. Additionally, increasing pH induced the stripping of oxidative debris (OD) and elevated the content of dispersible Pb(II) in aqueous solution under the conditions of S. putrefaciens metabolism. These research results provide valuable information regarding the migration of heavy metals adsorbed on GO under reducing conditions due to microbial metabolism.
