含硫化合物对Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b生长和合成聚-β-羟基丁酸酯的影响

为了将人类活动排放的含有甲烷的废气用于聚-β-羟基丁酸酯(PHB)合成过程,以M.trichosporium OB3b为菌种,考察硫化氢(H2S)和甲硫醚(DMS)对甲烷氧化菌生长和PHB合成的影响。实验结果表明,H2S浓度高达2 500μmol/mol时对甲烷氧化菌生长及甲烷单加氧酶(MMO)活性基本无影响,含H2S时的PHB含量和产率比无H2S时高,甲烷氧化菌经H2S培养后PHB合成能力增强。然而,DMS浓度为200μmol/mol时即可明显抑制甲烷氧化菌的生长及MMO活性。在DMS存在条件下,PHB含量和PHB产率都明显降低,经DMS培养后甲烷氧化菌的PHB含量进一步降低。

Tissue distribution of perfluoroalkyl acids and health status in wild Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) from Loskop Dam, Mpumalanga, South Africa

This study examined concentrations of 15 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in tissues from male Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) collected at Loskop Dam, Mpumalanga, South Africa in 2014 and 2016. Nine of the 15 PFAAs were detected frequently and were included in statistical analysis and included two of the most commonly known PFAAs, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) (median, 41.6 ng/g) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) (median, 0.0825 ng/g). Of the tissues measured, plasma (2016 and 2014 median, 22.2 ng/g) contained the highest PFAA burden followed by (in descending order): liver (median, 11.6 ng/g), kidney (median, 9.04 ng/g), spleen (median, 5.92 ng/g), adipose (median, 2.54 ng/g), and muscle (median, 1.11 ng/g). Loskop Dam tilapia have been affected by an inflammatory disease of the adipose tissue known as pansteatitis, so this study also aimed to investigate relationships between PFAA tissue concentrations and incidence of pansteatitis or fish health status. Results revealed that healthy tilapia exhibited an overall higher (p-value < 0.05) PFAA burden than pansteatitis-affected tilapia across all tissues. Further analysis showed that organs previously noted in the literature to contain the highest PFAA concentrations, such as kidney, liver, and plasma, were the organs driving the difference in PFAA burden between the two tilapia groups. Care must be taken in the interpretations we draw from not only the results of our study, but also other PFAA measurements made on populations (human and wildlife alike) under differing health status.     

Sensitivity of Precipitation Statistics to Urban Growth in a Subtropical Coastal Megacity Cluster

This short paper presents an investigation on how human activities may or may not affect precipitation based on numerical simulations of precipitation in a benchmark case with modified lower boundary conditions, representing different stages of urban development in the model. The results indicate that certain degrees of urbanization affect the likelihood of heavy precipitation significantly, while less urbanized or smaller cities are much less prone to these effects. Such a result can be explained based on our previous work where the sensitivity of precipitation statistics to surface anthropogenic heat sources lies in the generation of buoyancy and turbulence in the planetary boundary layer and dissipation through triggering of convection. Thus only mega cities of sufficient size, and hence human-activity-related anthropogenic heat emission, can expect to experience such effects. In other words, as cities grow, their effects upon precipitation appear to grow as well.

大鹏湾近岸海域叶绿素a的时空分布特征

根据2015年度大鹏湾近岸海域5个海洋环境浮标的在线监测数据,分析大鹏湾海域海水中叶绿素a（Chl a）的时空分布特征及其与主要水质参数的相关关系。结果表明大鹏湾Chl a含量在春、夏、秋季较高,而冬季较低,实测最大值为82.23 μg/L;受水动力环境及陆源排放影响,终年沙头角附近海域的Chl a含量明显高于其他区域。Pearson相关分析结果表明,大鹏湾海域Chl a含量与水温呈现正相关关系,但与盐度不存在显著意义的相关关系。总体来看,Chl a含量的时空分布受陆地径流、外源输入和养殖环境状况等的共同影响。
