Effect of chromium on accumulation and antioxidants in Cucumis utillissimus L.: Response under enhanced bioavailability condition

This study compares the accumulation of Cr(VI) and biochemical changes (total chlorophyll, carotenoid, protein, malondialdehyde (MDA) and cysteine contents) and roles of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX)) in tolerance to metal induced stress in Cucumis utillissimus L. grown in Cr contaminated soil (CS) with garden soil (GS). Furthermore, Cr bioavailability was enhanced by ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) addition to the soil to forecast the plant’s accumulation pattern at elevated Cr environment. Accumulation of Cr in the leaves of the plant increased with increase in substrate metals concentration. It further increased with the addition of EDTA by 1437% and 487% in GS and CS, respectively at the highest treatment level. The lipid peroxidation increased proportionately with increase in Cr accumulation in the leaves. All the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPX and APX) and the level of cysteine increased with dose dependant manner. SOD and cysteine were observed to be higher in the GS than in CS, but APX and GPX were found to be higher in CS than in GS. The increase in GPX and APX activities with the increase in Cr concentration could be assumed that these two enzymes have a major role in the defense mechanism towards stress induced by Cr in C. utillissimus.

甘油基混合培养物合成PHA及其与OUR的关系

聚β羟基烷酸盐(PHA)以其较好的生物相容性、可生物降解性和再生性成为最有前途的生物高分子材料.本文基于甘油作为基质在饱食-饥饿模式下富集合成PHA的混培物,以乙酸、丙酸、丁酸、乳酸和葡萄糖作为基质考察混培物合成PHA的基质广谱性,结果表明乳酸和乙酸作为基质时PHA的产率系数较高;使用不同比例乙酸/丙酸混合基质时,PHA产量随着乙酸含量的增加而增大,乙酸/丙酸为3∶1时PHA产量最高.通过活性污泥同时贮存与生长模型模拟与线性回归两种方法证实,在单一基质或乙酸/丙酸混合基质情况下,PHA合成速率与OUR存在线性关系,因此,基于在线OUR测量数据可以实时估计PHA合成量.     

Biosorption mechanisms involved in immobilization of soil Pb by Bacillus subtilis DBM in a multimetal-contaminated soil

Mechanisms of soil Pb immobilization by Bacillus subtilis DBM, a bacterial strain isolated from a heavy-metal-contaminated soil, were investigated. Adsorption and desorption experiments with living bacterial cells as well as dead cells revealed that both extracellular adsorption and intracellular accumulation were involved in the Pb2＋removal from the liquid phase. Of the sequestered Pb（II）, 8.5% was held by physical entrapment within the cell wall, 43.3% was held by ion-exchange, 9.7% was complexed with cell surface functional groups or precipitated on the cell surface, and 38.5% was intracellularly accumulated.Complexation of Pb2＋with carboxyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl, amido, and phosphate groups was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis. Precipitates of Pb5（PO4）3OH, Pb5（PO4）3Cl and Pb10（PO4）6（OH）2that formed on the cell surface during the biosorption process were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis. Transmission electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence of the Pb（II）precipitates and that Pb（II） could be sequestered both extracellularly and intracellularly.Incubation with B. subtilis DBM significantly decreased the amount of the weak-acid-soluble Pb fraction in a heavy-metal-contaminated soil, resulting in a reduction in Pb bioavailability, but increased the amount of its organic-matter-bound fraction by 71%. The ability of B.subtilis DBM to reduce the bioavailability of soil Pb makes it potentially useful for bacteria-assisted phytostabilization of multi-heavy-metal-contaminated soil.     

废弃钻井液不落地达标处理技术在塔里木油田的应用

废弃泥浆中含有化学添加剂、黏土、钻屑、无机盐及含油物质等,pH值较高,一般存放在井场污池内,若管理不善容易造成环境污染。为减少钻井废弃液对环境的污染,针对塔里木油田自身的地理特征和钻井液类型,选取一套经济有效的废弃钻井液无害化处理工艺开展先导试验,解决了废弃钻井液处理施工难度大、工期长、成本高的问题,达到无害化处理的环保效果。

北京师范大学环境学院副教授、博士生导师程红光：健康风险，环评关注了多少？

环境影响评价难以提供合理有效的健康影响信息,是环境群体性事件中公众质疑最多的地方。我们知道,环境会影响健康。那么,到底环境在影响健康因素中占多大比重？世界卫生组织公布的疾病负担研究报告称,全球24％的疾病或者23％的死亡,是环境因素造成的。把环境健康风险纳入环评,可以提高环评的有效性,使决策者能够更多地考虑公众利益,通过与公众进行沟通交流,降低和防止因信息不对称造成的社会恐慌。     

采用精密度法评定总氮测量不确定度

采用top-down技术中的精密度法对环境水样中总氮的测量不确定度进行了评定。文章利用实验室内期间精密度实验结果、参加能力验证结果和实验室内标准样品的重复性测定结果,对实验室测量偏倚和精密度控制情况进行评估,并在保证实验室的测量过程处于统计受控状态下,参考能力验证的室间标准差作为测量不确定度的估计值。由于这种方法关注实验的整个过程,因此更能从整体上反映实验结果的测量不确定度;并且由于省去了传统bottom-up技术中复杂的实验设计和繁琐的合成计算,应用起来简便易行。     

泥炭碱提取液E4/E6值表征泥炭腐殖化度及其古气候意义

采用AMS14C测年技术建立了哈尼泥炭地的年代序列,以泥炭碱提取液的E4/E6值(400nm和600nm处吸光度比值)来表征泥炭腐殖化度,并探讨其指示的古气候意义。研究结果表明:根据泥炭碱提取液E4/E6值与校正年龄的变化曲线,以及将其与哈尼泥炭400nm处吸光度直接表征腐殖化度的曲线进行对比,发现哈尼泥炭碱提取液的E4/E6值对古气候具有很好的指示意义,对全新世以来的气候突变事件以及前人研究的气候时期划分都能得到很好的对应,即哈尼泥炭碱提取液E4/E6值高,泥炭腐殖化度低,指示气候干冷,其E4/E6值低,泥炭腐殖化度高,指示气候暖湿。在今后的研究中,可结合E4/E6值来表征泥炭腐殖化度,并结合磁化率、孢粉等化学物理生物因子以及温度、湿度、水文、地质条件等其他因素来探讨泥炭腐殖化度对古气候的指示意义。     

大连湾口处夏秋季节温盐流及混合特征研究

基于2008年10月14至15日,2009年8月14至15日,20至21日在大连湾口进行的海流、温度和盐度的周日连续观测,对大连湾口处夏季、秋季的温、盐、流及混合特征进行了研究。结果表明,大连湾湾口处的平均混合率较强,约为10-3m2/s;混合率的最大值超过10-2m2/s,比大洋混合率的背景场量值高3个数量级;夏季大潮期的混合率大于小潮期。强混合可归因于以下几个方面:(1)风的机械能是海洋上层混合的一个主要来源;(2)潮致混合是大连湾口处夏季、秋季混合的主要类型;(3)边界层内较强的底摩擦是底层混合的重要贡献因素;(4)剪切不稳定是产生强混合的主要动力机制之一。
