Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi induced differential Cd and P phytoavailability via intercropping of upland kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk.) with Alfred stonecrop (Sedum alfredii Hance): post-harvest study

A post-harvest experiment was conducted further to our previous greenhouse pot study on upland kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk.) and Alfred stonecrop (Sedum alfredii Hance) intercropping system in Cd-contaminated soil inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Previously, four treatments were established in the intercropping experiment, including monoculture of kangkong (control), intercropping with stonecrop (IS), and IS plus inoculation with Glomus caledonium (IS?+?Gc) or Glomus versiforme (IS?+?Gv). Both kangkong and stonecrop plants were harvested after growing for 8 weeks. Then, the tested soils were reclaimed for growing post-harvest kangkong for 6 weeks. In the post-harvest experiment, there were no significant differences between the IS and control treatments, except for a significantly decreased (p?<?0.05) soil available P concentration with IS treatment. Compared with IS, both IS?+?Gc and IS?+?Gv significantly decreased (p?<?0.05) soil DTPA-extractable (phytoavailable) Cd concentrations, but not total Cd, by elevating soil pH, causing significantly lower (p?<?0.05) Cd concentrations in both the root and shoot of kangkong. In addition, both Gc and Gv significantly increased (p?<?0.05) soil acid phosphatase activities and available P concentrations and hence resulted in significantly higher (p?<?0.05) plant P acquisitions. However, only Gv significantly increased (p?<?0.05) kangkong yield, while Gc only significantly elevated (p?<?0.05) the shoot P concentration. It suggested that AM fungi have played key roles in Cd stabilization and P mobilization in the intercropping system, and such positive responses seemed to be sustainable and valuable in post-harvest soils.     

超声-Fenton联用技术深度处理皮革综合废水生化出水

针对皮革综合废水生化处理出水中存在COD和色度偏高等问题,提出采用超声-Fenton联用技术对生化后的皮革综合废水进行深度处理。通过单因素实验考察了超声功率、H2O2投加量、Fe2+投加量(即H2O2/Fe2+比)、溶液pH和反应时间对水样中COD和色度去除率的影响;正交实验结果表明,当溶液初始pH值为4.0时,各因素影响显著性的先后顺序为H2O2>超声功率>反应时间>Fe2+;其优化的实验条件为:H2O2为24.0 mL/L、超声功率为85 W、反应时间为45min、Fe2+为2.2 g/L,经超声-Fenton联用技术深度处理后COD的去除率可达85.4%。在最佳实验条件下,对超声-Fenton联用技术深度处理皮革综合废水生化出水的动力学研究发现,水样中的COD降解反应符合表观一级反应动力学,速率常数增强因子可达8.64,表明存在显著的协同效应。     

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance both absorption and stabilization of Cd by Alfred stonecrop (Sedum alfredii Hance) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) in a Cd-contaminated acidic soil

A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to compare the phytoextraction efficiencies of Cd by hyper-accumulating Alfred stonecrop (Sedum alfredii Hance) and fast-growing perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) from a Cd-contaminated (1.6 mg kg⁻¹) acidic soil, and their responses to the inoculations of two arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal strains, Glomus caledonium 90036 (Gc) and Glomus mosseae M47V (Gm). Ryegrass and stonecrop were harvested after growing for 9 and 27 wk, respectively. Without AM fungal inoculation, the weekly Cd extraction by stonecrop (8.0 μg pot⁻¹) was 4.3 times higher than that by ryegrass (1.5 μg pot⁻¹). Both Gc and Gm significantly increased (P < 0.05) root mycorrhizal colonization rates, soil acid phosphatase activities, and available P concentrations, and thereby plant P absorptions (except for Gm-inoculated ryegrass), shoot biomasses, and Cd absorptions (except for Gm-inoculated stonecrop), while only Gc-inoculated stonecrop significantly accelerated (P < 0.05) the phytoextraction efficiency of Cd by 78%. In addition, both Gc and Gm significantly decreased (P < 0.05) phytoavailable Cd concentrations by 21–38% via elevating soil pH. The results suggested the potential application of hyper-accumulating Alfred stonecrop associated with AM fungi (notably Gc) for both extraction and stabilization of Cd in the in situ treatment of Cd-contaminated acidic soil.     

左氧氟沙星对土壤中汞形态微生物转化的影响

为阐明左氧氟沙星(Levofloxacin)对土壤中汞形态转化的影响效应,探究了左氧氟沙星对2种能够影响汞形态转化的细菌—枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis subsp.spizizenii)和洋葱假单胞菌(Pseudomonas cepacian)的抑菌效果;并通过室内土培试验阐明了添加左氧氟沙星对土壤汞赋存形态的作用机制.结果表明,左氧氟沙星对2种细菌都有较好的抑菌效果,在添加0.1 mg·mL^-1左氧氟沙星时,枯草芽孢杆菌和洋葱假单胞菌的菌群数量都有显著降低.土壤培养实验中,接种枯草芽孢杆菌处理土壤中的Hg²⁺含量显著高于对照组(p<0.05),而洋葱假单胞菌则导致土壤中Hg⁰生成量明显升高(p<0.05).左氧氟沙星的添加减弱了土壤细菌对Hg²⁺和Hg⁰的转化作用;这主要归因于左氧氟沙星可以有效抑制土壤中菌群的数量及过氧化氢酶和汞还原酶的活性,从而导致2种菌对Hg的氧化和还原能力下降,降低了土壤中Hg²⁺和Hg^0...
