渭河浮游细菌群落结构特征及其关键驱动因子

基于T-rflp技术和高通量测序技术,分析了渭河在平水期、枯水期和丰水期的浮游细菌群落变化特征,并采用冗余分析和典范对应分析识别了不同水文时期影响细菌群落的关键环境因子.结果表明,渭河水体浮游细菌群落空间和季节差异明显,且季节性差异比空间差异更加显著.平水期、枯水期和丰水期渭河(陕西段)干流浮游细菌群落Shannon多样性指数分别在2.13~2.82、2.05~2.84和2.61~2.91之间.平水期浮游细菌多样性指数空间差异最大(RSD=16.75%),样点间群落结构相似度最低(26.8%),流域优势T-RF片段数最多(23种);丰水期浮游细菌Shannon指数空间差异最小(RSD=9.27%),样点间群落相似度最高(62.6%),且检出的优势片段数最少(12种).咸阳-西安段是浮游细菌群落多样性最低、优势菌群结构最单一的河段.河流水体细菌群落在不同时期的关键环境驱动因子不同,而其中悬浮颗粒物(TSS)浓度是不同水文时期都不可忽视的关键影响因子.高通量分析结果表明,丰水期渭河水体浮游细菌物种涉及21个已知细菌门类和26个候选门类,其中,变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)共同的相对丰度占比达到75%以上,是最主要的细菌类群.汛期渭河干流各样点浮游细菌群落特征趋于一致,物种结构与泾河相似而与黑河存在明显差异.     

应用PCR-DGGE技术研究处理含氨废气的生物滤塔中微生物多样性

变性梯度凝胶电泳技术(DGGE)在微生物生态学领域有着广泛的应用.本文应用DGGE技术对处理含氨废气的生物滤塔中微生物多样性随时间的变化进行了研究.在生物滤塔运行的不同时间采集滤塔中的填料样品,进行了生物滤塔对氨处理效果的分析和DGGE分析.结果显示,污泥和混合填料生物滤塔氨的出气浓度在经过一段时间后,逐渐升高,而堆肥生物滤塔的运行情况较好,对氨的去除效率始终在98%以上.PCR-DGGE图谱显示,不同时间的相同填料中微生物DGGE图谱有着明显的差异性.Shannon指数分析表明,填料中微生物的多样性都随着反应器运行时间的延长而有所减少.运行一个月后,混合填料的微生物多样性指数最低为0.389;其次为污泥填料,其多样性指数为0.473;堆肥填料的微生物多样性程度最高为0.569.生物滤塔对氨的去除效果与填料中微生物多样性Shannon指数之间有一定的相关关系.主成分分析(PCA)显示对于堆肥和污泥来说,填料样品之间微生物群落结构相似性较高,而混合填料样品间的微生物群落结构相似性较低.

再生水构建水环境中沉水植物附着细菌群落特征

沉水植物茎、叶附着生物膜对再生水构建水环境的水质改善具有重要作用.为探究再生水水质及沉水植物种类对附着生物膜细菌群落特征的影响,选取再生水构建的水环境中不同种类沉水植物为研究对象,采用16S rRNA高通量测序技术对其附着生物膜及周围环境样本的细菌群落结构和功能基因进行分析.结果表明,再生水水体中氮磷营养物质在水环境中得到了20%~35%的吸收利用,下游水体中COD、浊度和色度呈现升高趋势.沉水植物附着生物膜中细菌群落与周围环境（土壤、底泥和水体）及再生水处理厂活性污泥的细菌群落存在差异：在群落多样性上,其丰富度和多样性显著低于土壤和底泥中细菌但高于水中浮游细菌;在群落结构上,其优势菌属及对应相对丰度与其它样本不同,主要优势菌属有鞘氨醇单胞菌属（Sphingomonas）、气单胞菌属（Aeromonas）、假单胞菌属（Pseudomonas）和不动杆菌属（Acinetobacter）,分别占比7%~40%.沉水植物种类和再生水水质（BOD₅、TN、NH₄⁺-N和TP）均会影响植物附着细菌群落,但水质对附着细菌群落的影响大于植物种类,且水质也会影响沉水植物附着细菌群落功能基因相对丰度,氮磷浓度较高区域氮循环与磷循环功能基因相对丰度较高.研究结果为揭示沉水植物附着细菌群落特征和优选沉水植物种植种类提供科学依据.     

三峡库区退耕还林后植物多样性研究

通过对三峡库区不同退耕还林阶段的植物群落调查,结果表明退耕还林后植物群落演替基本沿着:农田杂草→草地→灌木林地→天然次生乔木林的方向而发展.但由于退耕还林阶段受环境因素或干扰状况对群落植物多样性的影响,加上退耕还林中树种较为单一,退耕还林后群落的物种丰富度和物种多样性没有得到提高.通过对处于相同退耕还林阶段的不同植物群落类型的调查,以及对同一群落类型中具有不同群落结构的植物物种组成情况的调查发现,在植物群落内部,群落组成中的不同生活型的物种多样性表现为草本层＞灌木层＞乔木层.从优势种来看,乔木层主要为马尾松和柏木;灌层中为火棘、栓皮栎、山莓、黄构皮等;草本层中主要为白茅、茅叶荩草、白喜草、竹枝细柄草、渐尖毛蕨、日本金粉蕨、过路黄等.退耕还林10年后发育形成的密林中,乔木物种数目较多,多样性指数最大.     

Double-conscious professional self-expression of racial minority scientists-in-training

Double-consciousness pervades the workplace experiences of minority professionals. Prior research captures various manifestations of double-consciousness in the workplace, yet much of what we know comes from understanding the experiences of minority professionals in predominantly White workplaces. Inherent in conceptions of double-consciousness is the sense of twoness in one's self concept that arises from seeing oneself through the eyes of both the predominantly White profession and one's own racial community. In this study, we examine contrasts as well as commonalities in experiences of double-consciousness across different social contexts in the socialization of minority scientists-in-training. We draw from qualitative data collected from 64 individuals (including 39 underrepresented minority doctoral students, and 25 faculty, staff, and administrators) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) doctoral programs in both predominantly White and historically Black institutions to examine and compare the factors across different contexts that influence how minority scientists-in-training are able to express their emerging professional identity. Our findings reveal how minority scientists-in-training experience twoness as both a struggle and a strength, and we develop an inductive model of how different socializations influence the double-conscious professional self-expressions of minority scientists in training.     

Effects of site-selection bias on estimates of biodiversity change

Estimates of biodiversity change are essential for the management and conservation of ecosystems. Accurate estimates rely on selecting representative sites, but monitoring often focuses on sites of special interest. How such site-selection biases influence estimates of biodiversity change is largely unknown. Site-selection bias potentially occurs across four major sources of biodiversity data, decreasing in likelihood from citizen science, museums, national park monitoring, and academic research. We defined site-selection bias as a preference for sites that are either densely populated (i.e., abundance bias) or species rich (i.e., richness bias). We simulated biodiversity change in a virtual landscape and tracked the observed biodiversity at a sampled site. The site was selected either randomly or with a site-selection bias. We used a simple spatially resolved, individual-based model to predict the movement or dispersal of individuals in and out of the chosen sampling site. Site-selection bias exaggerated estimates of biodiversity loss in sites selected with a bias by on average 300–400% compared with randomly selected sites. Based on our simulations, site-selection bias resulted in positive trends being estimated as negative trends: richness increase was estimated as 0.1 in randomly selected sites, whereas sites selected with a bias showed a richness change of −0.1 to −0.2 on average. Thus, site-selection bias may falsely indicate decreases in biodiversity. We varied sampling design and characteristics of the species and found that site-selection biases were strongest in short time series, for small grains, organisms with low dispersal ability, large regional species pools, and strong spatial aggregation. Based on these findings, to minimize site-selection bias, we recommend use of systematic site-selection schemes; maximizing sampling area; calculating biodiversity measures cumulatively across plots; and use of biodiversity measures that are less sensitive to rare species, such as the effective number of species. Awareness of the potential impact of site-selection bias is needed for biodiversity monitoring, the design of new studies on biodiversity change, and the interpretation of existing data.

采用室内培养试验,研究了硝磺草酮对土壤酶活性和微生物群落功能多样性的影响.结果表明,土壤过氧化氢酶和蔗糖酶活性随硝磺草酮浓度增加呈现先增加后降低的趋势,但比对照处理都有所升高,分别增加了22.6%~41.0%和3.4%~54.2%,且在硝磺草酮浓度为50mg/kg时达到最大.与之相反,尿酶活性则降低了12.0%~18.6%,但差异性不明显(P > 0.05).施用一定浓度的硝磺草酮激活了土壤微生物活性,微生物群落丰富度、均匀性和多样性都呈增长趋势,单孔的平均颜色变化率(AWCD)值和利用速率均随硝磺草酮浓度增加而增大,微生物群落对碳水化合物类、氨基酸类、多聚物类、羧酸类、胺类和酚酸类利用率整体上均有所提高,与对照相比,最大增幅分别达到5.3、1.0、4.4、3.2、0.2和6.8倍,但不同浓度硝磺草酮处理下土壤微生物在利用碳源的类型上是存在一定的差异.
