Responses of wheat seedlings to cadmium, mercury and trichlorobenzene stresses

The molecular response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.,cv.Yangmai 10) seedlings to heavy metal (Cd,Hg) and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) stresses were examined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis,image analysis,and peptide mass fingerprinting.The results showed inhibitions of root and shoot growth by Cd,Hg and TCB.These stresses led to water deficit and lipid phosphorylation in the seedling which also promoted protein phophorylation in the leaves.Hg stress inhibited protein synthesis while Cd and TCB stresses induced or up-regulated more proteins in the leaves.Most of these induced proteins played important roles in the biochemical reactions involved in tolerance of wheat to Cd and TCB stresses.The primary functions of Cd- and TCB-induced proteins included methionine metabolism,Rubisco modification,protein phosphorylation regulation,protein configuration protection,H+ transmembrane transportation and also the synthesis of ethylene defense substances and cell wall compounds.     

Combination e ect of pH and acetate on enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis

The productivity and e ciency of cellulase are significant in cellulose hydrolysis. With the accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), the pH value in anaerobic digestion system is reduced. Therefore, this study will find out how the pH and the amount of acetate influence the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. The e ects of pH and acetate on cellulase produced from Bacillus coagulans were studied at various pH 5–8, and acetate concentrations (0–60 mmol/L). A batch kinetic model for enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis was constructed from experimental data and performed. The base hypothesis was as follows: the rates of enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis rely on pH and acetate concentration. The results showed that the suitable pH range for cellulase production and cellulose hydrolysis (represents e ciency of cellulase) was 2.6–7.5, and 5.3–8.3, respectively. Moreover, acetate in the culture medium had an e ect on cellulase production (KI = 49.50 mmol/L, n = 1.7) less than cellulose hydrolysis (KI = 37.85 mmol/L, n = 2.0). The results indicated that both the pH of suspension and acidogenic products influence the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose in an anaerobic environment. To enhance the cellulose hydrolysis rate, the accumulated acetate concentration should be lower than 25 mmol/L, and pH should be maintained at 7.

Soluble protein and acid phosphatase exuded by ectomycorrhizal fungi and seedlings in response to excessive Cu and Cd

Fungi and their symbionts can alleviate heavy metal stress by exuding soluble proteins and enzymes. This study examined the role of soluble protein and acid phosphatase (APase) exuded by Xerocomus chrysenteron, an ectomycorrhizal fungus, and the seedlings of its symbiont, Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis), under conditions of excessive Cu and Cd. The growth type showed that this poorly studied ectomycorrhizal fungus was capable of tolerating high concentrations of Cu, and may be useful in phytoremediation. X. chrysenteron grew well at 80 mg/L Cu, and the EC50 for Cd was 17.82 mg/L. X. chrysenteron also showed enhanced exudation of soluble protein in both isolated and inoculated cultivations under the influence of Cu and Cd. Soluble protein exudation, however, di ered under Cu and Cd stress in isolates. In mediums containing Cu, soluble protein exudation increased with concentration, but in mediums containing Cd the content of soluble protein increased to a comparable level at all concentrations. This study demonstrated that soluble protein was related to heavy metal tolerance, although the di erent ions played di erent roles. While APase activity in exudates of fungi and seedlings decreased under Cu and Cd stress in comparison to the control, the APase activity in seedlings was maintained by inoculation. Thus, X. chrysenteron facilitated the ability of plant to maintain a normal nutrient uptake, and therefore to protect it from heavy metal toxicity.

培养方式、外源物对混合菌群DDMY2脱色蒽醌染料RB19的影响

为寻找最佳培养条件及外源物强化蒽醌染料活性艳蓝19(RB19)的微生物脱色效果,同时探究最适外源物对微生物功能酶活性及群落结构的影响,以揭示其微观作用机制,以经茶叶渣驯化而来的混合菌群DDMY2为作用微生物,将其置于不同培养方式、不同外源物条件下(复合激活剂、不同氮源、碳源等)与RB19作用,并计算脱色率.通过酶活检测、高通量测序方法,研究在菌群DDMY2对RB19脱色过程中,复合激活剂A(Activator,A)对DDMY2主要功能酶活性和菌群结构的影响.结果表明,微氧条件下菌群DDMY2对RB19(200 mg/L)在72 h的脱色率达到80.25％,比富氧条件高36.37％.加入复合激活剂A能够有效提高脱色效率,且在初期促进作用明显,样品"DDMY2+A"在24 h的脱色率较样品DDMY2高出9.38％.酵母提取物为最佳外加氮源,而外加碳源对染料脱色效率无明显提升效果.同时,Mn2+和氧化还原介体ABTS(2,2'-联氮-双-3-乙基苯并噻唑啉-6-磺酸)与复合激活剂A联用可使脱色效率进一步提升约5.41％.RB19的脱色效率与菌群胞外偶氮还原酶、醌还原酶活性有关,加入复合激活剂A可显著提高细菌胞外偶氮还原酶活性.高通量测序结果显示,与未加复合激活剂A的混合菌群DDMY2相比,加入复合激活剂A对混合菌群DDMY2群落结构有明显地影响,可使得肠杆菌属、产碱菌属等功能微生物更好地进行富集.因此适合的外源物(如酵母提取物、Mn2+和氧化还原介体ABTS、复合激活剂A等)能够显著提升菌群DDMY2对RB19的脱色效率,其微观作用机制主要是通过提高菌群功能酶活性及富集优势功能菌属以提高其脱色效率,为强化蒽醌染料微生物脱色效果提供新思路.
