两株高效好氧反硝化细菌的分离鉴定及其脱氮效率

从水稻土和活性污泥中分离到两株可以在好氧条件下进行反硝化作用的细菌ZW23和ZW27.通过对这两株细菌的形态观察和生理生化特征,以及16S rDNA序列测定认为菌株ZW23和ZW27分别是假单胞菌属类产碱杆菌(Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes)和假单胞菌属门多萨菌(Pseudomonas mendocina).好氧培养条件下,在初始氮源约为280.00mg·L-1的反应体系中,两株细菌在12h内均引起体系中总氮显著下降,削减率分别达66.43%和65.54%,其余总氮几乎全部转化为内源氮.脱氮速率分别达到约21.72mg·L-1·h-1和22.31 mg·L-1·h-1,比现已分离出的兼性好氧反硝化细菌的脱氮速率要快得多.反应过程中没有检测到亚硝态氮和氨态氮的积累.菌株ZW23和ZW27是两株典型的高效兼性好氧反硝化细菌,具有重要的应用价值.     

Disruption of biofilms from sewage pipes under physical and chemical conditioning

Biofilms grown inside two sewage collecting pipes located in industrial and residential areas are studied. Bacterial biomass inside three layers of biofilms was evaluated. Biofilm cohesion under different mixing rate and ionic strength was also investigated. Effects of physical and chemical parameters in the biofilms were evaluated by monitoring turbidity, chemical and biochemical oxygen demands. Extracted organic matter from biofilms was partitioned to polar, aromatic and saturated fractions using activated silica column chromatography. Results revealed that bacterial biomass growth depending on biofilm thickness and stratification. The most loaded stratum in bacterial biomass was the sewage-biofilm interface stratum that represented 51% of the total bacterial biomass. Stirring rate and ionic strength of mono and bivalent salts showed a major influence in biofilm disruption. The stirring time enhanced the exchange dynamic and matter capture between biofilm fragments at the critical stirring rate 90 r/min. Sodium chloride showed the dispersing effect on biofilms in suspension, and decreased the BOD5 (biochemical oxygen demand) beyond the physiological salt concentration.

绿脓杆菌上清过滤液对小胶鞘藻(Phormidiumtenue)溶解特性的研究

绿脓杆菌(Pseudomonas)上清过滤液可迅速溶解小胶鞘藻(Phormidlum tenue).含有细茵上清过滤液5%以上的M-11培养液,可明显抑制小胶鞘藻的增殖.在25-35 ℃,pH 7-9的条件下,溶藻效果最好.较之对数生长期,细菌上清过滤液对恒定期和衰亡期的小胶鞘藻更易溶解.     

中肋骨条藻与锥状斯氏藻藻际细菌溶藻效应研究

通过向对数生长期的中肋骨条藻和锥状斯氏藻培养体系中分别加入体积分数1%和10%的2216E培养基,以未加入培养基的对照组和10%无菌组作为对照,研究藻际细菌的溶藻效应.结果表明,对照组、1%组及10%无菌组的中肋骨条藻和锥状斯氏藻生长未受抑制,而10%组的中肋骨条藻和锥状斯氏藻生长则受到显著的抑制(p0.001),在第96h时,藻细胞几乎都被裂解,藻细胞数、叶绿素a含量及叶绿素荧光效率(Fv/Fm)显著低于对照组、1%组及10%无菌组(p0.001),表明藻际细菌具有抑制微藻生长的作用.在整个溶藻过程中,中肋骨条藻10%组细菌丰度增加了约250倍,锥状斯氏藻10%组藻际细菌丰度增加了约300倍,藻际细菌丰度的剧增可能是溶藻的主要原因.作为溶藻效果的评价指标,叶绿素荧光效率要优于细胞形态的改变、藻细胞数量的变化及叶绿素a含量,是较理想的溶藻检验指标.

Potential neoplastic effects of parathion-methyl on rat liver

The mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of parathion-methyl were examined by bacterial reverse assay and a long term experiment with Wistar rats. The potential mutagenic effect of parathion-methyl in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 bacterial cells was observed without rat liver S9 metabolic activation. Parathion-methyl was further investigated for pathological changes in rat pancreas and liver. The long-term rat experiments showed that parathion-methyl exposure for 3 months can cause pathological changes in rat pancreases acinar cells and pancreatic hepatocytes. Atypical acinar cell focuses (AACF) were determined in the liver and pancreas of the rats. The results from short-term Ames test and long-term rat experiments suggest that parathion-methyl would be potential carcinogenic.     

Characteristics of the microbial communities in the integrated vertical-flow constructed wetlands

Microorganisms play an important role in removing pollutants from constructed wetlands. We investigated the microbial characteristics in a novel integrated vertical-flow constructed wetland (IVCW), which has been in operation in Wuhan, China since 1998. We used phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) and amoA gene to analyze the structure and diversity of the microbial community within the IVCW. PLFA results suggested that the amount of bacterial PLFA was significantly higher than that of fungal PLFA, but the total microbial biomass represented by PLFA index was low in the system. Microbial spatial distribution showed significantly higher bacterial (both G⁺ and G⁻) and fungal biomass in the surface than in the subsurface layers. The ratios of monounsaturated to branched PLFA demonstrated that an anaerobic layer sandwiched by two aerobic layers existed in the IVCW, consistent with the redox potential results. Analysis of the amoA revealed the presence of Nitrosomonas-like sequences in the surface substrate of the downflow chamber and apparent diversities of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in the system. These results suggest that microorganisms, despite their relatively low biomass, have inhabited the IVCW, and the results will offer some valuable information on microbe to system designers and managers.     

Quantification of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria in enrichment cultures by quantitative competitive PCR

The anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (ANAMMOX) bacteria were enriched from a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR). A quantitative competitive polymerase chain reaction (QC-PCR) system was successfully developed to detect and quantify ANAMMOX bacteria in environmental samples. For QC-PCR system, PCR primer sets targeting 16S ribosomal RNA genes of ANAMMOX bacteria were designed and used. The quantification range of this system was 4 orders of magnitude, from 103 to 106 copies per PCR, corresponding to the detection limit of 300 target copies per mL. A 312-bp internal standard was constructed, which showed very similar amplification e ciency with the target amxC fragment (349 bp) over 4 orders of magnitude (103–106). The linear regressions were obtained with R2 of 0.9824 for 103 copies, 0.9882 for 104 copies, 0.9857 for 105 copies and 0.9899 for 106 copies, respectively. Using this method, ANAMMOX bacteria were quantified in a shortcut nitrification/denitrification-anammox system which was set for piggery wastewater treatment.
