硒对汞在稀有鲫体内积累动力学影响

通过增加饲料中亚硒酸钠的含量，研究了硒对氯化汞在稀有鲫体内积累动力学的影响，探讨了硒对汞富集的影响机制，并给出了两种硒浓度下汞的积累方程。结果表明，饲料中０．２ｍｇ／ｋｇ的硒对鱼体汞富集无明显影响，２．０ｍｇ／ｋｇ的硒使鱼体汞富集增加。并且高硒饲料降低了鱼对汞的排除常数，使鱼体总汞的稳态含量增大。

Mercury and selenium in blue shark (Prionace glauca, L. 1758) and swordfish (Xiphias gladius, L. 1758) from two areas of the Atlantic Ocean

Muscle, liver and stomach contents of 64 blue sharks and 52 swordfishes, caught between September 2004 and February 2005 near the Azores (area A) and the Equator (area E), were analysed for mercury and selenium. Levels of mercury were relatively high (blue shark: 0.032-2.5microgg(-1); swordfish: 0.031-9.8microgg(-1)) and comparable to values reported in the literature. However, mercury and organic mercury concentrations in muscle and liver of specimens from E were significantly higher than those from A. A similar trend was registered in stomach contents, suggesting higher uptake of Hg in specimens from E. This difference was also observed in the relationship between concentration in muscle and size, indicating a higher accumulation rate in specimens from E. The accumulation of Se in the liver of both species showed a positive correlation with inorganic mercury concentrations, pointing to a detoxifying mechanism of organic mercury in these species through Se-Hg liasons.

Mercury bioaccumulation in fish in an artificial lake used to carry out cage culture

As a global toxic pollutant,mercury(Hg)bioaccumulation within food chain could be influenced by human disturbance.Ten typical fish species were collected from Changshou Lake,an artificial lake used to carry out cage fish culture,to investigate the C/N isotopic compositions and Hg bioaccumulation in fish.The results showed that the total Hg(THg)and methylmercury(MeHg)levels in fish muscles((56.03±43.96)and(32.35±29.57)ng/g,wet weight),comparable with those in most studies in China,were significantly lower than the international marketing limit(0.5 mg/kg).Past human input for cage culture in this lake led to abnormal~(15)N enrichment in food chain,as the quantitative trophic levels based onδ~(15)N were different with that classified by feeding behaviors.This phenomenon subsequently demonstrated that it should be considered thoughtfully with respect to the application of the traditional method for understanding Hg bioaccumulation power by the slope of log_(10)[Hg]withδ~(15)N regression in specific water body(i.e.,Changshou Lake).In addition,no significant linear correlation between Hg and body weight or length of some fish species was observed,suggesting that the fish growth in the eutrophic environment was disproportionate with Hg bioaccumulation,and fish length or weight was not the main factor affecting Hg transfer with food web.The occurrence of human disturbance in aquatic system presents a challenge to a better understanding of the Hg bioaccumulation and biomagnification within the food chain.     

Rapid field testing of mercury pollution by designed fluorescent biosensor and its cells-alginate hydrogel-based paper assay

With increasing industrial activities, mercury has been largely discharged into environment and caused serious environmental problems. The growing level of mercury pollution has become a huge threat to human health due to its significant biotoxicity. Therefore, the simple and fast means for on-site monitoring discharged mercury pollution are highly necessary to protect human beings from its pernicious effects in time. Herein, a “turn off” fluorescent biosensor (mCherry L199C) for sensing Hg²⁺ was successfully designed based on direct modification of the chromophore environment of fluorescent protein mCherry. For rapid screening and characterization, the designed variant of mCherry (mCherry L199C) was directly expressed on outer-membrane of  Escherichia coli cells by cell surface display technique. The fluorescent biosensor was characterized to have favorable response to Hg²⁺ at micromole level among other metal ions and over a broad pH range. Further, the cells of the fluorescent biosensor were encapsulated in alginate hydrogel to develop the cells-alginate hydrogel-based paper. The cells-alginate hydrogel-based paper could detect mercury pollution in 5 min with simple operation process and inexpensive equipment, and it could keep fluorescence and activity stable at 4?°C for 24 hr, which would be a high-throughput screening tool in preliminarily reporting the presence of mercury pollution in natural setting.     

Role of NO and SO2 in mercury oxidation over a La2O3/Fe2O3 catalyst with high thermal stability

In this study, the thermal stability of a ferric oxide catalyst for mercury oxidation was found to be considerably promoted by doping with La₂O₃. The catalysts doped with La₂O₃ maintained a higher surface area when subjected to high-temperature calcination, with lower average pore size and a narrower pore size distribution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed that La₂O₃ doping hinders the growth of catalyst particles and crystallization of the material at high temperatures. Both NO and SO₂ inhibited Hg⁰ oxidation over the La₂O₃/Fe₂O₃ catalyst. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra revealed that SO₂ reacts with O₂ over the catalysts to form several species that are inert for mercury oxidation, such as SO₄^2?, HSO₄^?, or other related species; these inert species cover the catalyst surface and consequently decrease Hg⁰ oxidation capacity. In addition, NO or SO₂ competed with Hg⁰ for active sites on the La₂O₃/Fe₂O₃ catalyst and hindered the adsorption of mercury, thereby inhibiting subsequent Hg⁰ oxidation. Hg⁰ oxidation on the La₂O₃/Fe₂O₃ catalyst mainly followed the Eley–Rideal mechanism. Moreover, the inhibition effects of NO and SO₂ were at least partially reversible, and the catalytic activity was temporarily restored after eliminating NO or SO₂.
