Pesticides impact on Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. sepedonicus biofilm formation

The effect of various pesticides on the biofilm formation by the phytopathogenic bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. sepedonicus (Cms), the potato ring rot causative agent, was explored for the first time. Systemic herbicides: 2,4-D, diuron, glyphosate, clopyralid, fluorodifen, as well as the commercial preparations “Lazurite,” “Ridomil Gold,” and the mitochondria inhibiting pesticides analog, sodium monoiodoacetate, were studied. These pesticides' effect on the Cms biofilm formation was shown to be distinct and dependent on the agent under question. Cms biofilm formation was reduced when exposed to sodium monoiodoacetate, as well as “Lazurite” preparation, that could be due to the bactericidal effect of these agents. 2,4-D and “Ridomil Gold” preparation stimulated the biofilm formation. Systemic herbicides diuron, glyphosate, clopyralid, fluorodifen did not exert appreciable influence on the process of bacterial biofilm formation.     

过量钠盐和盐渍土壤提取液对3种外生菌根真菌生长的影响

美味牛肝菌(Boletusedulis)、红绒盖牛肝菌(Xerocomuschrysenteron)和铆钉菇(Gomphidiusviscidus)3种外生菌根真菌在不同浓度钠盐(0.05、0.10和0.20mol·L-1)和东营地区盐渍土壤提取液中培养,结果表明:钠盐处理促进了美味牛肝菌菌丝生长,生物量积累增加,而红绒盖牛肝菌和铆钉菇菌丝生长明显受到抑制。在土壤提取液培养条件下,供试3菌种菌丝的生长均受到极显著抑制。在不同浓度钠盐处理下,菌丝中钠元素的含量随培养基中钠盐浓度的增加而提高,说明菌丝对钠元素有较强的吸收能力。但不同菌种菌丝对钠元素的吸收和积累方式存在显著差异。     

城市高温热浪调控机制模拟研究

在全球气候变暖和城市化加速发展的共同影响下,高温热浪事件频繁发生、日趋严重。为了分析屋顶亮化、城市绿化和地表增湿在调节城市热力环境、缓解城市高温灾害中的作用,本文选择了2013年8月的高温天气过程,利用耦合了城市冠层模式的WRF模拟系统,采用屋顶亮化、屋顶绿化和地表增湿3种不同的调控方案模拟分析其对城市热环境、湿度和近地面热量通量的影响,及其不同的降温效果和影响时段。研究发现:(1)3种调控方案通过改变城市地区的辐射过程或者能量平衡过程,降低白天尤其是正午时分的近地面气温,可有效的减缓夏季城市地区的高温热浪。(2)采用地表增湿方案,当城市街道表面含水层厚度从0mm增加到3mm时,潜热通量迅速增加,感热通量迅速减少,降温迅速。这说明在白天用较少水量多次对城市街道增湿,是一种显著降温的有效方法。     

白腐菌改性的中药渣对Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附性能

以白腐菌的典型菌种黄孢原毛平革菌为改性菌种,对中药渣进行改性处理,研究了改性中药渣对Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附性能。采用SEM技术对改性中药渣进行表征。研究了废水pH、改性中药渣加入量、吸附温度和吸附时间对Cr（Ⅵ）吸附效果的影响。表征结果显示,中药渣经过改性后表面出现许多孔隙,比表面积增大,为吸附Cr（Ⅵ）提供了更多的吸附位。实验结果表明：在初始Cr（Ⅵ）质量浓度50 mg/L、改性中药渣加入量5 g/L、废水pH 2、吸附温度45 ℃、吸附时间20 h的条件下,改性中药渣对Cr（Ⅵ）的去除率达99.5%,吸附量可达9.82 mg/g;改性中药渣对Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附等温线符合Langmuir等温吸附方程和Freundlich等温吸附方程;准二级动力学方程能很好地对改性中药渣吸附Cr（Ⅵ）的数据进行拟合。

高效液相色谱法测定鸡蛋清和蛋黄中磺胺类药物残留

采用高效液相色谱法测定鸡蛋清和蛋黄中磺胺嘧啶、磺胺吡啶、磺胺二甲基嘧啶、磺胺甲氧哒嗪、磺胺甲恶唑、磺胺间甲氧嘧啶、磺胺喹恶啉等7种磺胺类药物残留,优化了色谱条件和样品预处理方法。7种磺胺类药物在0.050 mg/L~10.0 mg/L范围内线性良好,检出限和定量限分别低于0.02 mg/kg和0.04 mg/kg。在0.250 mg/kg和0.500 mg/kg两个添加水平,蛋清中的回收率为81.0%~100%,RSD为0.8%~4.8%,蛋黄中的回收率为72.2%~94.1%,RSD为1.1%~6.9%。     

The effects of soil and Trifolium repens (white clover) on the fate of estrogen

In this study, we investigated the behavior of estrogens in the rhizosphere of white clover (Trifolium repens, clover hereafter) with two different pot tests, using soil and agar as growth media. In a pot test using agar spiked with estrogen, the estrogen concentration in the agar with clover decreased to non-detectable levels within one month, while in the agar without clover, 60% of initially added estrogen remained after one month. The half-lives of estrone (E1) and 17β -estradiol (E2) in the agar with clover were 2.4–3.8 and 13.2 d, respectively. The dissipation of E1 followed first-order rate law, while that of E2 fitted a zero-order reaction, indicating that they had different mechanisms of dissipation from agar. In the soil pot test, the behavior of E1 and E2 was not influenced by clover. An initial rapid decrease in the amount of estrogen extracted by methanol/acetic acid was followed by persistence for 1–3 months, regardless of presence of clover. Moreover, in three weeks E1 and E2 were only partly degraded by microbes extracted from the soil used in the pot test. In this study, abiotic degradation of estrogens and sorption of estrogen to soil, rather than the effects of soil microbes and clover, contributed to the initial rapid dissipation of estrogens in the soil. However, the results of the agar pot test suggested that vegetation such as clover may significantly contribute to removal of estrogens when estrogens in aqueous phase are discharged with surface runoff and preferential flow after heavy rain in agricultural fields, or when present in soils with low estrogen sorptivity.     

Characterization of mercury species in brown and white rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown in water-saving paddies

In China, total Hg (Hg_T) and methylmercury (MeHg) were quantified in rice grain grown in three sites using water-saving rice cultivation methods, and in one Hg-contaminated site, where rice was grown under flooded conditions. Polished white rice concentrations of Hg_T (water-saving: 3.3 ± 1.6 ng/g; flooded: 110 ± 9.2 ng/g) and MeHg (water-saving 1.3 ± 0.56 ng/g; flooded: 12 ± 2.4 ng/g) were positively correlated with root-soil Hg_T and MeHg contents (Hg_T: r² = 0.97, MeHg: r² = 0.87, p < 0.05 for both), which suggested a portion of Hg species in rice grain was derived from the soil, and translocation of Hg species from soil to rice grain was independent of irrigation practices and Hg levels, although other factors may be important. Concentrations of Hg_T and other trace elements were significantly higher in unmilled brown rice (p < 0.05), while MeHg content was similar (p > 0.20), indicating MeHg infiltrated the endosperm (i.e., white rice) more efficiently than inorganic Hg(II).

Distribution of White Whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in the White Sea and the Southeastern Region of the Barents Sea during the Ice Season

The habitats, relative occurrence, and distribution of the white whale in the White Sea and the southeastern Barents sea in every month of the ice season have been studied using the results of an aerial ice survey along standard routes from 1970–1991. In these seas, white whales have been found in each month of the ice season, with single animals, groups, schools or gams, herds, and large congregations of several hundred animals accounting for 10, 22.8, 47.2, 12.9, and 7% of all aggregations of white whales observed, respectively. The relative occurrence of white whales in the White Sea is higher in March and May (32.5 and 30%, respectively) and lower in February, January, and November (15, 10, and 7.5%, respectively); in December and April, the whales are observed very seldom (2.5% in both months). In the southeastern Barents Sea, the relative occurrence of white whales is highest in May (53.3%) and considerably lower in December and February (16.7 and 10%); only a few animals are found during the remaining ice season. Regarding different habitats, the relative occurrences of white whales in open water, in water openings in the ice, near the edge of pack ice, and in ice packs with different degrees of closeness are 21.5, 11.4, 45.7, and 21.4%, respectively.
