南淝河表层沉积物细菌群落结构特征及驱动因素

为了探讨南淝河不同河段沉积物细菌群落结构特征差异及其主要驱动因素,在对南淝河不同土地利用区域河段表层沉积物的主要理化指标（pH、CEC、TOC、DOC、氮分级形态）进行分析基础上,重点通过MiSeq高通量测序技术对沉积物中细菌群落结构特征进行了分析,并利用冗余分析（RDA）方法探讨了导致群落结构差异的主要驱动因素.结果表明：沉积物中门水平下优势细菌种群为变形菌门（Proteobacteria）、绿弯菌门（Chloroflexi）和拟杆菌门（Bacteroidetes）;纲水平下除未分类外主要是厌氧绳菌纲（Anaerolineae）、γ-变形菌纲（Gammaproteobacteria）、梭状芽胞杆菌纲（Clostridia）、δ-变形菌纲（Deltaproteobacteria）,此外ε-变形菌纲（Epsilonproteobacteria）主要在南淝河下游采样点被检测到,说明其在南淝河沉积物生态系统中并不是普遍存在的;属水平下大多为未分类序列,长绳菌属（Longilinea）和芽孢杆菌属（Bellilinea）有优势地位.南淝河不同河段所在流域土地利用方式不同会导致污染物类型、污染源强和沉积物理化指标的不同,进而影响沉积物细菌群落结构,中游城区和工业区段的细菌多样性整体上高于上、下游;RDA分析结果表明,表层沉积物的CEC、TOC、DOC、TP、WAEF-N和IEF-N是导致细菌群落结构特征差异的主要影响因子,其中变形菌门、拟杆菌门和厚壁菌门受TP影响较大,绿弯菌门则受弱酸浸取态氮（WAEF-N）影响较大.     

Effects of higher-order structure of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) on its biodegradation. II. Effects of crystal structure on microbial degradation

As one of a series of studies concerning the relationship between the higher-order structure and the biodegradability of a biodegradable plastic, the effects of the crystal structure of the plastic on microbial degradation were investigated. Bacterial poly(d-(–)-3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) films which had a wide range of crystallinity were prepared by the melt-quenching method. Results of the microbial degradation indicated that the development of crystallinity evidently depressed the microbial degradability. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations, it is suggested that the microbial degradation proceeded in at least two manners. One was preferential degradation of the amorphous region leaving the crystalline lamellae intact, which was considered to be a homogeneous enzymatic degradation over the surface. The other was nonpreferential spherical degradation on the surface. The SEMs indicate that the spherical holes were the result of colonization by degrading bacteria. The holes varied in size and number with the change of crystal structure. Therefore, it is considered that the crystal structure of PHB also influenced the physiological behavior of the degrading bacteria on the PHB surface.     

Silver nanoparticles tolerant bacteria from sewage environment

Silver nanoparticle (SNP) is a threat to soil, water and human health. Protection of environment from silver nanoparticles is a major concern. A sewage isolate, Bacillus pumilus treated with SNPs showed similar growth kinetics to that without nanoparticles. A reduction in the amount of exopolysaccharides was observed after SNPs – B. pumilus culture supernatant interaction. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) peaks for the exopolysaccharides extracted from the bacterial culture supernatant and the interacted SNPs were almost similar. The exopolysaccharide capping of the SNPs was confirmed by UV-Visible, FT-IR and X-ray di raction analysis. The study of bacterial exopolysaccharides capped SNPs with E. coli, S. aureus and M. luteus showed less toxicity compared to uncoated SNPs. Our studies suggested that the capping of nanoparticles by bacterially produced exopolysaccharides serve as the probable mechanism of tolerance.     

Bacterial community succession during the enrichment of chemolithoautotrophic arsenite oxidizing bacteria at high arsenic concentrations

To generate cost-effective technologies for the removal of arsenic from water, we developed an enrichment culture of chemolithoautotrophic arsenite oxidizing bacteria (CAOs) that could effectively oxidize widely ranging concentrations of As(III) to As(V). In addition, we attempted to elucidate the enrichment process and characterize the microbial composition of the enrichment culture. A CAOs enrichment culture capable of stably oxidizing As(III) to As(V) was successfully constructed through repeated batch cultivation for more than 700 days, during which time the initial As(III) concentrations were increased in a stepwise manner from 1 to 10-12 mmol/L. As(III) oxidation activity of the enrichment culture gradually improved, and 10-12 mmol/L As(III) was almost completely oxidized within four days. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis showed that the dominant bacteria in the enrichment culture varied drastically during the enrichment process depending on the As(III) concentration. Isolation and characterization of bacteria in the enrichment culture revealed that the presence of multiple CAOs with various As(III) oxidation abilities enabled the culture to adapt to a wide range of As(III) concentrations. The CAOs enrichment culture constructed here may be useful for pretreatment of water from which arsenic is being removed.     

Alteration of microbial properties and community structure in soils exposed to napropamide

The effect of pesticide napropamide (N,N-diethyl-2-(1-naphthalenyloxy) propanamide) on soil microorganisms for long-term (56 d) was assessed by monitoring changes in soil microbial biological responses. Soils were treated with napropamide at 0, 2, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg soil and sampled at intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, 42, and 56 d. The average microbial biomass C declined in napropamide-treated soils as compared to control. The same trend was observed on microbial biomass N after napropamide application.We also determined the basal soil respiration (BSR) and observed a high level in soils treated with napropamide during the first 7 d of experiment. But with the passage of incubation time, BSR with napropamide decreased relatively to control. Application of napropamide at 2–80 mg/kg soil had inhibitory e ects on the activity of urease and invertase. Activity of catalase was enhanced during the initial 7 d of napropamide application, but soon recovered to the basal level. The depressed enzyme activities might be due to the toxicity of napropamide to the soil microbial populations. To further understand the e ect of napropamide on microbial communities, a PCRDGGE- based experiment and cluster analysis of 16S rDNA community profiles were performed. Our analysis revealed an apparent di erence in bacterial-community composition between the napropamide treatments and control. Addition of napropamide apparently increased the number of bands during the 7–14 d of incubation. These results imply that napropamide-induced toxicity was responsible for the disturbance of the microbial populations in soil.     

Phylogenetic diversity and specificity of bacteria associated with Microcystis aeruginosa and other cyanobacteria

Interactions between bacteria and cyanobacteria have been suggested to have a potential to influence harmful algal bloom dynamics; however, little information on these interactions has been reported. In this study, the bacterial communities associated with five strains of Microcystis aeruginosa, three species of other Microcystis spp., and four representative species of non-Microcystis cyanobacteria were compared. Bacterial 16S rDNA fragments were amplified and separated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) followed by DNA sequence analysis. The similarities among bacterial communities associated with these cyanobacteria were compared to the digitized DGGE profiles using the cluster analyses. The bacterial community structure of all cyanobacterial cultures di ered. Cluster analysis showed that the similarity values among M. aeruginosa cultures were higher than those of other cyanobacterial cultures. Sequence analysis of DGGE fragments indicated the presence of bacteria including, Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria in the cyanobacterial cultures. Members of the Sphingomonadales were the prevalent group among the Microcystis-associated bacteria. The results provided further evidence for species-specific associations between cyanoabcteria and heterotrophic bacteria, which are useful for understanding interactions between Microcystis and their associated bacteria.

利用细菌通用引物,对从黄土高原5个地区土壤样品以及西峰剖面26个土壤样品中提取的总DNA进行聚合酶链式反应(PCR)扩增,采用变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)技术对PCR产物进行分析,以揭示黄土高原土壤中细菌群落结构的多样性.针对黄土高原土壤微生物特点进行DGGE试验条件优化,获得最佳变性梯度为40%～70%,最佳电泳时间为17 h(100 V).对不同深度土壤细菌DGGE图谱的聚类分析表明,不同深度土壤细菌呈现2种不同的群落结构,推测其成因可能与季风性气候引起的温湿环境变化及冰期有关.在夏季风加强而冬季风减弱的时期,气候温暖潮湿,风化成壤作用强烈,在DGGE图谱中表现为土壤样品条带多而密;反之,风化成壤作用较弱,在DGGE图谱中表现为条带少而疏.对洛川、西峰等5个地区土壤细菌Shannon-Weiner指数的测定结果表明,Shannon-Weiner指数受条带亮度及迁移率的影响.     

Treatment of swine wastewater in aerobic granular reactors: comparison of different seed granules as factors

The granulation process, physic-chemical properties, pollution removal ability and bacterial communities of aerobic granules with different feed-wastewater (synthetic wastewater, R1; swine wastewater, R2), and the change trend of some parameters of two types of granules in long-term operated reactors treating swine wastewater were investigated in this experiment. The result indicated that aerobic granulation with the synthetic wastewater had a faster rate compared with swine wastewater and that full granulation in R1 and R2 was reached on the 30th day and 39th day, respectively. However, although the feed wastewater also had an obvious effect on the biomass fraction and extracellular polymeric substances of the aerobic granules during the granulation process, these properties remained at a similar level after long-term operation. Moreover, a similar increasing trend could also be observed in terms of the nitrogen removal efficiencies of the aerobic granules in both reactors, and the average specific removal rates of the organics and ammonia nitrogen at the steady-state stage were 35.33 mg·g⁻¹ VSS and 51.46 mg·g⁻¹ VSS for R1, and 35.47 mg·g⁻¹ VSS and 51.72 mg·g⁻¹ VSS for R2, respectively. In addition, a shift in the bacterial diversity occurred in the granulation process, whereas bacterial communities in the aerobic granular reactor were not affected by the seed granules after long-term operation.     

再生水补水对河流湿地香蒲根际细菌群落结构影响研究

以典型的再生水补水河流湿地为例,采用末端限制性片段长度多态性技术(T-RFLP)分析河道不同空间香蒲根际细菌群落结构差异,并借助单因素方差分析(one-way ANOVA)、Spearman等级相关分析和典范对应分析(CCA)方法解析麻峪湿地香蒲根际细菌群落结构空间差异特征的形成原因,以揭示再生水补水过程对河道湿地香蒲根际细菌群落的影响,并尝试找出空间差异形成的驱动因子.结果表明:随再生水干扰强度的增加,各类群细菌群落的丰富度、均匀度及多样性均呈现不同程度的降低趋势;其中γ-变形菌门(Gammaproteobacteria)、δ-变形菌门(Deltaproteobacteria)和绿弯菌门(Chloroflexi)、ε-变形菌门(Epsilonproteobacteria)和放线菌门(Actinobacteria)在再生水影响下均显著降低(P<0.05).Spearman等级相关分析显示pH值、DO(溶解氧)、TDS(总溶解固体)、ORP(氧化还原电位)、Sal(盐度)和NH₄⁺-N(氨氮)与植物根际细菌群落多样性空间演替紧密相关.CCA分析结果进一步表明再生水补水口的上游细菌群落与TN(总氮)、TOC(总有机碳)及重金属Cr、Ni、Cu具有密切关系,这可能与这些污染物累积效应有关;补水口附近植物根际细菌群落则因补水口再生水水质不同而具显著差异,其中第Ⅱa类群主要受到水质变量pH值影响较大,而第Ⅱb类群与T(温度)、ORP和NH₄⁺-N具有较高的相关性;补水口的下游细菌群落则因水体内源杂质及人为活动影响而同样与TOC及持久性痕量重金属生物循环密切相关.
