Holographic quantitative structure-activity relationship for prediction acute toxicity of benzene derivatives to the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

Holographic quantitative structure-activity relationship(HQSAR) is an emerging QSAR technique with the combined application of molecular hologram, which encoded the frequency of occurrence of various molecular fragment types, and the subsequent partial least squares(PLS) regression analysis. In this paper, the acute toxicity data to the guppy( poecilia reticulata) for a series of 56 substituted benzenes, phenols, aromatic amines and nitro-aromatics were subjected and this resulted in a model with a high predictive ability. The influence of fragment size and fragment distinction parameters on the quality of HQSAR model was investigated. The robustness and predictive ability of the model were also validated by leave-one-out (LOO) cross-validation procedure and external testing data set.     

Characterization of cadmium uptake,translocation, and distribution in young seedlings of two hot pepper cultivars that differ in fruit cadmium concentration

The reasons why some cultivars of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) accumulate low levels of Cd are poorly understood. We aimed to compare the characteristics of Cd uptake and translocation in low-Cd and high-Cd hot pepper cultivars by determining the subcellular locations and chemical forms of Cd, and its distribution among different plant organs. We conducted a hydroponic experiment to investigate the subcellular distribution and chemical forms of Cd in roots, stems, and leaves of a low-Cd (Yeshengchaotianjiao, YCT) and a high-Cd cultivar (Jinfuzaohuangjiao, JFZ). The results showed that the concentrations of Cd in almost all subcellular fractions of roots, and in all chemical forms in roots, were higher in YCT than in JFZ. Compared with YCT, JFZ had higher Cd concentrations in almost all subcellular fractions of stems and leaves, and higher Cd concentrations in almost all chemical forms in stems and leaves. Additionally, YCT had significantly higher total Cd accumulation but a lower Cd translocation rate compared with JFZ. In general, the results presented in this study revealed that root-to-shoot Cd translocation via the xylem is the key physiological processes determining the Cd accumulation level in stems and leaves of hot pepper plants. Immobilization of Cd by the cell walls of different organs is important in Cd detoxification and limiting the symplastic movement of Cd.

2012年8月6日—22日利用大气细颗粒物水溶性组分在线监测分析系统和大气气溶胶OC/EC在线分析仪在线分析了西安PM2.5中的水溶性无机离子和OC、EC,并结合气溶胶前体物SO2、NO2和部分气象参数的监测数据进行了分析。结果表明,PM2.5中OC、EC和主要水溶性组分SO2-4、NH+4和NO-3的比重分别为:14.34%、5.35%、26.32%、12.90%和11.28%;以有机物(OM)为主要成分的总碳气溶胶(TCA)在PM2.5中的质量分数为28.30%,其中光化学反应导致OM中二次组分(SOC)高达45.30%;对主要水溶性组分之间的相关性分析发现,NO-3、SO2-4、NH+43种主要组分之间的结合形态为(NH4)2SO4和NH4NO3,对Mg2+和Ca2+的相关分析反映其有多种共同源;此外,硫氧化率(SOR)和氮氧化率(NOR)均较高,表明大气中存在较强的光化学反应。PM2.5的各组分因子分析得到4个主要来源(机动车尾气和燃煤、土壤建筑尘和生物质燃烧、二次硝酸盐气溶胶、二次硫酸盐气溶胶)。     

pH值对"Fe0-厌氧微生物"体系去除2,4,6-三氯酚过程的影响

考察了pH值对"Fe0-厌氧微生物"体系降解2,4,6,-三氯酚(2,4,6-TCP)效果的影响,结果表明:pH值是影响"Fe0-厌氧微生物"体系降解2,4,6-TCP效果的重要参数,初始pH值直接影响微生物活性和铁腐蚀,进而影响过程pH值变化,反过来又影响铁腐蚀和微生物活性,pH 7.0～9.0的中性偏碱范围较适于厌氧微生物生长。Fe0与微生物对目标污染物的降解具有协同促进作用,其协同促进机制表现在3方面:Fe0与微生物对体系过程pH值具有互补调节作用,可将体系的pH值调节值适于微生物生长的中性范围;Fe0腐蚀产生的Fe2+和H2可为微生物代谢提供电子对和营养物质,从而促进生物还原脱氯的进行;Fe0的腐蚀过程直接对氯代有机物还原脱氯,而微生物又可促进Fe0腐蚀。     

Characteristics of an aerobic denitrifier that utilizes ammonium and nitrate simultaneously under the oligotrophic niche

Introduction

An aerobic denitrifier was isolated from the Hua-Jia-Chi pond in China and identified as Pseudomonas mendocina 3-7 (Genbank No. HQ285879). This isolated strain could express periplasmic nitrate reductase which is essential for aerobic denitrification occurred when the dissolved oxygen (DO) level maintains at 3?C10?mg?L^?1.

Methods

To determine whether the ability of isolated strain is exhibited in the bioremediation of polluted drinking source water, the heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification characteristics of P. mendocina 3-7 under different cultural conditions such as oxygen level, nitrate and organic concentrations were studied from the nitrogenous balance in the paper.

Results and conclusions

By measuring the nitrogen balance in all experiments under different culture conditions, the removal of total organic carbon and ammonium was positively correlated with total nitrogen removal, especially under high substrate level. With substrate concentration decreasing, ammonium and nitrate removal occurred separately, and ammonium was completely utilized first under low substrate concentration. Compared to that under high substrate level, the specific growth rate of P. mendocina 3-7 was not low under the low substrate level and the pollutant removal efficiencies remained high, which implies the stronger nitrogen removal and acclimatization capacities of the strain in oligotrophic niches.

基于SWAT模型的磷负荷削减最佳管理措施(BMPs)评估研究

基于高空间分辨（0.07 m）土地利用数据和详细的农业管理信息,利用SWAT（Soil and Water Assessment Tool）模型对关帝河子流域的农业耕作进行精细化模拟,评估了4种农业最佳管理措施（BMPs）对非点源磷负荷的削减效果.结果表明：3个水文站径流的率定结果均达到R²>0.5、NSE>0.4、PBIAS<±35%,其中,2个站点的R²>0.6、NSE>0.5、PBIAS<±5%;总磷率定的R²>0.9、NSE>0.9、PBIAS<±20%,即SWAT模型对径流和总磷的模拟值均与实测值展现出较高的一致性.在流域尺度上,对总磷负荷的削减效率由高到低排序依次为：植被缓冲带>15°以上坡地退耕还林 > 有林地补植 > 化肥减施.宽度为1~5 m的植被缓冲带对总磷负荷的削减效率可达30%~48%;15°以上坡地退耕还林的实施可以削减约30%的总磷负荷,同时可能增加农民收入;然而,由于研究区土地利用格局和降水条件的特殊性,有林地补植和化肥减施对削减总磷负荷的影响较小,削减效率均不足1%.
