Upgrading of organic waste: production of the copolymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate by Ralstonia eutrophus with organic waste as sole carbon source

Two types of fermented organic waste (trade and industry waste and fruit and vegetable waste) were successfully used as a sole carbon source to produce poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHBV) by Ralstonia eutrophus (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus) via oxygen limitation.The production of PHBV could be optimized by optimizing the oxygen transfer through the fermentor. Thereby, a peak concentration of 1.1 g PHBV per liter cell suspension, 40 w% of cell dry weight, was obtained at an aeration rate of 0.24 mol O₂/h·kg biomass. The yield of PHBV on the fatty acid concentration in the organic waste was 0.16 g polymer/g volatile organic matter. The process obtained, compares well with the commercial production process of PHBV based on glucose.

基于高分辨率MARGA分析桂林市PM2.5水溶性离子特征

利用高时间分辨率MARGA于2017年2月17日~3月24日在桂林市开展PM_2.5组分监测，结合同一点位环境和气象监测数据，分析桂林市大气PM_2.5水溶性无机离子组分特征及气溶胶酸性.结果表明：MARGA监测的PM_2.5中8种水溶性离子与PM_2.5变化趋势一致.8种水溶性离子总浓度均值29.27μg/m³，3种二次水溶性离子SO₄^2-、NO₃^-和NH₄⁺浓度均值26.91μg/m³，占水溶性离子总浓度的93.50%，是桂林市大气PM_2.5的主要组分.二次水溶性离子SO₄^2-、NH₄⁺和NO₃^-两两之间存在显著正相关性（相关系数均>0.80），提示二次离子产生的机制及在大气中的演化、沉积具有一定的相似性.无论有无降雨，能见度（Vis）均随着水溶性离子，尤其是二次水溶性离子浓度的增加呈幂函数规律递减.24h累计降雨量≥ 10.0mm时，湿清除作用明显.晴天及降雨量不大的天气下，需注意管控机动车尾气、生物质燃烧和扬尘污染.SOR、NOR分别为0.35、0.12，SO₂同时通过均相和非均相氧化反应转化为SO₄^2-，NO_x主要是通过白天光化学反应转化为NO₃^-.大多数离子和气态前体物均存在明显的日变化规律，这与物质的来源、形成机制和气象条件不同有关.CE/AE摩尔浓度均值为1.5，桂林市PM_2.5总体偏碱性.PM_2.5中SO₄^2-、NO₃^-、Cl^-主要以（NH₄）₂SO₄、NH₄NO₃和NH₄Cl形式存在.PM_2.5中NH₄⁺可能与监测点位交通源排放有关，桂林市应加强交通污染物排放管控.

Quantitative Assessment of the Intertidal Environment of Kuwait I: Integrated Environmental Classification

Quantitative analysis of physical, chemical and biological data of the intertidal zone in Kuwait was undertaken to develop an integrated basis for assessing and protecting this sensitive coastal ecosystem. Cluster analyses were performed to determine the resemblance between the sampling stations based on the sediment composition, the benthic macrofauna and the physico-chemical characteristics of the intertidal sediment/water. Five distinct sub-environments were delineated within the intertidal zone of Kuwait. Each sub-environment was described in terms of number of taxa, mean density of organisms, sediment type, tidal level and dominant organisms. The physico-chemical parameters investigated were found to be unimportant in the distribution of the intertidal benthic macrofauna. On the other hand, sediment type was found to be a major factor in the overall composition of the benthic community. The benthic fauna and related characteristics of the sub-environments could be used as indicators to monitor changes in the intertidal ecosystem and as guides to protection and management of the different coasts. The approach described in this paper could also be adopted elsewhere to provide a sound basis for evaluating environmental impacts and for developing sustainable coastal management.     

Long-term changes in microbial water quality indicators in a hydro-power plant reservoir: The role of natural factors and socio-economic changes

Long-term changes, from 1984 to 2010, in the indicators of microbial pollution (total viable count, coliforms, Escherichia coli, enterococci, and Clostridium perfringens) are analysed in the Riga Hydropower Plant Reservoir, an essential source of drinking water for Riga, the capital of Latvia. Counts in microbial indicators fluctuated seasonally and were related to physicochemical parameters (nitrogen compounds, turbidity, temperature, and pH). The changes in microbial pollution were brought about by two major socio-economic developments. Firstly, Latvia’s independence from the USSR in 1991 which facilitated a distinct reduction in most microorganism counts due to a sharp decline in industrial and agricultural production. This resulted in a significant drop in point and nonpoint pollution in the river basin. A further development was Latvia joining the European Union in 2004. The corresponding focus on water management, including wastewater treatment, was a major priority of environmental investment and lead to improvements in microbial water quality.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s13280-020-01470-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
