自由表面流人工湿地微生物气溶胶研究

微生物气溶胶的种类、浓度和粒径分布与人类健康关系密切。采用MD8空气浮游菌采样仪和FA-1型6级筛孔撞击式空气微生物采样器,对人工湿地细菌和真菌气溶胶的数量和粒径分布进行研究。结果表明,人工湿地进水前,细菌和真菌气溶胶平均值较低,分别为64.0、126.0CFU/m3;进水后,细菌气溶胶平均值在6月26日达到最高,为2292.5CFU/m3,真菌气溶胶平均值在8月27日达到最高,为6200.0CFU/m3;易进入肺部的细菌和真菌(粒径为0.65～4.70μm)粒子数分别占粒子总数的22.2%～62.3%、54.2%～87.6%;空气细菌中值直径为1.88～4.13μm,空气真菌中值直径在3.00μm左右波动。空气细菌中革兰氏阳性菌明显多于革兰氏阴性菌,空气真菌主要为酵母菌、镰刀菌属、枝孢属、毛霉属、交链孢属、肉座菌属、枝霉属、青霉属和曲霉属。     

陕西省食用菌中重金属含量及分布规律研究

为了解陕西省食用菌中重金属的污染状况并评价其污染程度,根据2013年陕西省污染物监测计划对235份食用菌中的重金属进行测定,对检测结果进行统计分析,评价其污染程度,评估陕西居民经食用菌类所致的重金属暴露量。食用菌中镉、汞、铅和砷的平均含量分别为0.0633、0.0189、0.0571和0.0692 mg·kg~(-1)。以平均含量进行评价,单因子污染指数较高的分别是鲜蘑菇中汞0.23、干蘑菇中镉0.36和砷0.35,此三者均属于轻度污染水平,其余均为正常背景水平;以高值P90(表示90%的样品含量低于该值)进行评价,干蘑菇中镉的单因子污染指数为1.12,表明部分干蘑菇存在镉污染,且其综合污染指数亦0.7,为警戒线水平;结合联合国粮农组织和世界卫生组织下的食品添加剂联合专家委员会(JECFA)推荐的各重金属耐受量,计算得出食用菌中重金属的安全消费量,此值较高,食用安全性良好。整体而言,陕西省食用菌中的重金属污染情况较轻,居民通过食用菌类所致重金属的暴露量在安全范围内,少数食用菌样品重金属含量较高,主要可能与其种植环境有关。     

Biodegradation of Chitosan-Gellan and Poly(L-lysine)-Gellan Polyion Complex Fibers by Pure Cultures of Soil Filamentous Fungi

The degradation of two kinds of polyion complex (PIC) fibers, chitosan-gellan (CGF), and poly(L-lysine)-gellan (LGF) fibers, by seven species of soil filamentous fungi has been investigated. All of the pure-line soil filamentous fungi, Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium caseicolum, P. citrinum, Mucor sp., Rhizopus sp., Curvularia sp., and Cladosporium sp. grew on the two fiber materials. Microscopic observation of the biodegradation processes revealed that P. caseicolum on the CGF and LGF grew, along with the accompanying collapse of the fiber matrices. In the biochemical oxygen-demand (BOD) test, the biodegradation of the LGF by P. caseicolum and Curvularia sp. exceeded 97% carbon dioxide generation and the biodegradation of the CGF by A. oryzae was 59%. These results might offer some clues to the applications of the PIC fibers as environmentally biodegradable materials.     

Sexual selection, feather breakage and parasites: the importance of white spots in the tail of the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica)

The long outermost tail feathers of barn swallows Hirundo rustica have white spots that are larger in males than in females and in adults than in juveniles. Spot size increases with age among adults and is positively correlated with tail length. We tested the functional significance of these white spots by randomly assigning males to either of three groups during spring: (1) subjected to a considerable reduction in the size of all spots using a black permanent pen; (2) subjected to a small reduction in the size of all spots; or (3) a control group with no reduction. Experimental treatment significantly affected the total number of offspring produced per season: breeding tended to be delayed and second broods were less frequent after a considerable reduction in the size of the males' tail feather spots. White parts of feathers lacking melanin were more often found to be the site of feather breakage than the melanised parts of similar width. Furthermore, white tail spots were the preferred feeding site of feather-eating Mallophaga and, since long-tailed males have fewer Mallophaga than short-tailed males, long-tailed males may pay a lower cost for their large white tail spots than short-tailed males. Hence, the cost of increased risk of feather breakage at white tail spots and the non-random distribution of feather lice among individuals will render tail spots a reliable signal of phenotypic quality.

氯氰菊酯的酶促降解研究

从氯氰菊酯高效降解真菌镰孢霉属（Fusarium）菌株TS-203中提取了降解酶,研究了降解酶对氯氰菊酯的降解特性。结果表明,胞内酶对氯氰菊酯的降解率高达59．8％,细胞碎片对氯氰菊酯的降解率为47．6％,而由（NH。）：sO。沉淀法提取到的胞外酶对氯氰菊酯的降解率仅为10．3％,由此确定菌株TS-203产生的降解酶为胞内酶。以牛血清白蛋白为标准蛋白测得胞内粗酶液中可溶性蛋白质含量为3．24mg／mL;该酶对氯氰菊酯酶促降解的最适pH为7．0,最适温度为30℃,降解酶的米氏常数K。为6．8120×10^-4mmol／mL,最大反应速度Vmax为1．1799×10^-4mmol／min。研究结果表明,该酶具有较好的热稳定性和pH稳定性,对热和pH均具有较好的耐受力,对氯氰菊酯降解效果较好。     

The effect of air pollution and other environmental stressors on leaf fluctuating asymmetry and specific leaf area of Salix alba L

We aimed at evaluating the effect of low-level air pollution on leaf area fluctuating asymmetry (FAA) and specific leaf area (SLA) of Salix alba L., taking into account other environmental factors. Cuttings were grown in standardized conditions in the near vicinity of air quality measuring stations in Belgium. Variability of SLA and FAA between measuring stations explained 83% and 7.26%, respectively, of the total variability. FAA was not influenced by air pollution or environmental factors such as shading, herbivory, air temperature and humidity. SLA was increased by an increase in shadow, while NO_x and O₃ concentrations had only a marginal influence. The influence of SO₂ concentration was negligible. Although our data analysis suggests a relationship between SLA and NO_x/O₃ concentration, the absence of a straightforward relationship between FAA and SLA and air pollution still questions the usefulness of these bio-indicators for monitoring air pollution.     

Bio- and toxic elements in mushrooms from the city of Umeå and outskirts,Sweden

Edible mushrooms (Albatrellus ovinus, Boletus edulis, Clitocybe odora, Gomphidius glutinosus, Leccinum scabrum, Leccinum versipelle, Lycoperdon perlatum, Suillus bovinus, Suillus luteus, and Xerocomus subtomentosus) collected from unpolluted areas of the city of Umeå and its outskirts in the northern part of Sweden were examined for contents of toxic metallic elements (Cd, Pb, and Ag) and essential macro- and microelements (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn) using a validated method and a final measurement by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (F-AAS). The median values of the toxic metallic element concentrations (in mg kg^?1 dry biomass, db) ranged from: 0.12–3.9, 0.46–5.1, and 0.91–6.2 for Ag, Cd and Pb, respectively. For the essential metallic elements, the median values of concentrations ranged from: 24000–58000, 15–2000, 59–610, 520–1900, 2.0–97, 16–150, 15–120, and 4.3–26 mg kg^?1 db for K, Na, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn, respectively. The baseline concentrations of the metallic elements determined in mushrooms were mainly affected by the fungal species. The assessed probable maximal dietary intake of Cd (0.002 mg kg^?1 body mass) solely from a mushroom meal was only slightly below a revised value of the tolerable weekly intake for this element, while for Pb (0.003 mg kg^?1 body mass) it was tenfold below the provisionally tolerable weekly intake.
