Vertical distributions of bound saturated fatty acids and compound-specific stable carbon isotope compositions in sediments of two lakes in China: implication for the influence of eutrophication

Lakes Dianchi (DC) and Bosten (BST) were determined to be at different stages of eutrophication, by use of total organic carbon content, bulk carbon isotopic composition, bulk nitrogen isotopic composition, and bound saturated fatty acid (BSFA) concentrations in sediment cores. A rapid increase in the supply of organic matter (OM) to DC began after the 1950s, while the environment and trophic status of BST remained constant as indicated by characteristics of OM input to sediments. The BSFA ratios of nC14?+?nC16?+?nC18/nC24?+?nC26?+?nC28 increase upward from 7 to 13 in the DC core, which are significantly greater than those from BST (2 to 3). This result is consistent with algae or bacteria being the dominant contribution of the OM increase induced by eutrophication in DC. The positive shift of nC16 compound-specific δ ¹³C in the upper section might be an indicator of excess algal productivity, which was observed in the two lakes. The positive shifts of compound-specific δ ¹³C of other BSFAs were also observed in the upper section of the core only from DC. The observed trends of compound-specific δ¹³C of BSFA originated from different sources became more consistent, which reflected the intensified eutrophication had profoundly affected production and preservation of OM in DC. The results observed for BST indicated that accumulation of algae did not affect the entire aquatic ecosystem until now.

微生物强化MBR工艺剩余污泥的好氧消化过程

为了考察原位污泥减量技术产生的长污泥龄污泥好氧消化可能性,以某污水处理厂MBR工艺产生的剩余污泥为研究对象(污泥龄为60 d),将实验筛选得到的强化效果最佳的3种菌种(分别为B4、H4和N2)分别投加到MBR剩余污泥好氧消化反应器中。经过58 d的好氧消化后,投加B4、H4和N2的3个反应器MLSS消解率分别比污泥对照提高了13.2%、11.7%和6.2%,其中投加B4菌种MLSS消化效率提高最多。MLVSS消解率分别比污泥对照提高18.8%、20.0%和11.0%。研究表明原位污泥减量技术产生的长污泥龄污泥具有污泥好氧消化的可能性,同时筛选出来的3种菌种在消化过程中有明显的强化效果。随着消化反应的进行到52 d,反应器中出现大量的硝酸盐氮和总磷的积累。观察反应过程中氨氮、硝酸盐氮、p H和总磷的变化,大量的硝酸盐存在时诱导以硝酸盐为电子受体的反硝化除磷的进行。在消化过程中,磷溶出情况取决于污泥的水解程度,投加菌种加速了总磷溶出和提高了污泥的水解程度。同时投加菌种强化好氧消化显著降低污泥的SVI,投加菌种在强化好氧消化过程中能更多地消耗污泥中有机物,进而提高消化效率。     

Species-specific effects of P-solubilizing and N<Subscript>2</Subscript>-fixing bacteria on seedling growth of three salt-tolerant trees

Coastal afforestation suffers from low survival and slow growth due to harsh conditions and lack of robust seedlings. Inoculation of P-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) or N₂-fixing bacteria (NFB) are effective in promoting plant growth and thus potentially helpful for coastal afforestation. However, it remains unclear about the generality and specificity of these plant-growth-promoting-bacteria (PGPB) on the growth of salttolerant trees. We inoculated seedlings of two mangrove trees and one terrestrial salt-tolerant tree with pure cultures of PSB or mixed cultures of PSB and NFB. Plant biomass, height, base diameter and N and P concentrations were determined six months after bacterial inoculation. We found that inoculation of PGPB had an overall promoting effect on the seedling growth of three tree species, but the effects differed greatly (3–280% increase) among plant species and bacterial isolates or bacterial combinations. Only in the terrestrial tree, co-inoculations of PSB and NFB showed greater promoting effects than monocultures of PSB. Root: shoot ratios of seedlings were not changed by bacterial inoculation. Inoculation treatments moderately elevated N concentrations in shoots and roots and P concentrations only in roots of seedlings. Our results suggest that PGPB might have a general promoting effect on the seedling growth of salt-tolerant trees. Nevertheless, the magnitude of promoting effects and the comparative advantage of dual inoculation over single inoculation are species-specific. The generality and specificity of the plant-PGPB relationship are similar to the plantmycorrhizal symbiosis. In addition, tissue nutrient improvement might not be the main mechanism of the promoting effects by PGPB.
