水库水深变化对不同浮游微生物群落及网络互作关键种的影响

为揭示水库水深变化对不同浮游微生物类群多样性及生态网络的影响,于2021年在横山水库采集表层及深层水样,利用16S和18S rDNA分子标记进行高通量测序,探究水深变化对不同微生物类群群落结构、种间互作网络和关键种的影响机制.结果发现,横山水库表层(0.5 m)和深层(5 m)中细菌群落多样性(Richness、 Simpson、 Shannon和Pielou’s Evenness指数)均高于真核微生物群落.细菌群落在不同水深处的主要优势物种为变形菌门、放线菌门和拟杆菌门,其相对丰度在门水平上无明显差异;真核微生物群落在不同水深处群落组成基本相同,但其相对丰度差异较大,包括节肢动物门、纤毛门和淡色藻门等.此外,表层水体微生物网络的图密度、平均聚类系数等均高于深层,表明表层微生物物种间具有较强的关联性,能够较好地传递物质、能量和信息,且对外界变化的响应速度更快;细菌群落分子生态网络节点和边的数量、关键物种数目和种类均高于真核微生物群落,表明细菌群落网络规模更大,种间协同合作关系和网络连通性更强.不同水深处的细菌群落和真核微生物群落间相互作用皆以正相关为主导,两个类群在水库深层的负相关性均...     

Nutrients regeneration pathway, release potential, transformation pattern and algal utilization strategies jointly drove cyanobacterial growth and their succession

In order to better understand the contribution of nutrients regeneration pathway, release potential and transformation pattern to cyanobacterial growth and succession, 7 sampling sites in Lake Chaohu with different bloom degree were studied every two months from February to November 2018. The carbon, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) forms or fractions in surface, interstitial water and sediments as well as extracellular enzymatic activities, P sorption, specific microbial abundance and community composition in sediments were analyzed. P regeneration pathway was dominated by iron-bound P desorption and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria solubilization in severe-bloom and slight-bloom area respectively, which both resulted in high soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) accumulation in interstitial water. However, in severe-bloom area, higher P release potential caused the strong P release and algal growth, compared to slight-bloom area. In spring, P limitation and N selective assimilation of Dolichospermum facilitated nitrate accumulation in surface water, which provided enough N source for the initiation of Microcystis bloom. In summer, the accumulated organic N in Dolichospermum cells during its bloom was re-mineralized as ammonium to replenish N source for the sustainable development of Microcystis bloom. Furthermore, SRP continuous release led to the replacement of Dolichospermum by Microcystis with the advantage of P quick utilization, transport and storage. Taken together, the succession from Dolichospermum to Microcystis was due to both the different forms of N and P in water column mediated by different regeneration and transformation pathways as well as release potential, and algal N and P utilization strategies.     

中国稻田土壤镉污染及务农性暴露概率风险

为了解中国稻田土壤镉污染时空变异特征及其务农性接触的健康风险,对1991~2017年发表的205篇有关稻田土壤镉调查文献进行系统回顾,并采用USEPA推荐的健康风险评估概率模型对健康风险进行评估.结果表明,全国稻田土壤镉平均浓度[（0.54±1.38）mg/kg]显著高于全国表层土壤镉背景值（0.097mg/kg）.虽未见显著的时间变异（β=-0.002,95%置信区间：-0.025~0.022）,但不同地区和不同人为扰动下的稻田土壤镉浓度存在较大异质性：华南[（0.88±1.59）mg/kg]>西南[（0.46±0.85）mg/kg]>华东[（0.44±1.45）mg/kg]>华北[（0.36±1.05）mg/kg]>东北[（0.35±0.83）mg/kg]>西北[（0.01±0.05）mg/kg]和矿冶[（1.77±2.18）mg/kg]>其他工业活动[（0.64±1.22）mg/kg]>电子垃圾拆解[（0.59±0.87）mg/kg]>污灌[（0.57±1.26）mg/kg]>交通[（0.56±0.86）mg/kg]>常规稻田[（0.25±0.34）mg/kg].除西北地区外,各地区稻田土壤镉浓度均出现不同程度的超标现象,尤其华南地区34%条土壤镉浓度数据超过农用地土壤镉污染风险管制值（1.5mg/kg）.土壤镉务农性接触的非致癌风险（HQ<<1）处于可接受水平,其中皮肤接触是主要途径,女性是务农性土壤镉暴露的高风险人群,华南和西南地区是务农性土壤镉暴露的高风险地区.
