辽宁老秃顶子国家级自然保护区植物区系调查研究

植物区系是在特有的历史条件下发展产生而形成的某一特定地区生长的全部植物类型的总和,是植物科、属、种的自然综合体。它多数是以种群方式存在的,对应组成该地区植被的主体,也是大自然地理生态环境中的集中反映和自然保护区生态环境变化的依据。研究老秃顶子国家级自然保护区的植物区系的组成和地理组成部分等相关资料,对于分析研究植物区系与自然地理要素之间的关系意义重大。     

Natural Recovery of Technogenic Landscapes in Open Larch Forests in Northeastern Russia

Studies on the vegetation and soil complexes in areas of the Kolyma River basin disturbed by mining, in the northeast of the Chukchi Peninsula, have been performed to reveal trends in natural restorative processes in posttechnogenic landscapes. Data on the flora, phytomass stock, chemical composition of plants pioneering in the overgrowing of disturbed areas, and physicochemical properties of soils and technogenic eluvia have been obtained. The results have shown that plant cover restoration in disturbed areas depends primarily on the type (genesis) of technogenic substrates, the content of fine earth in the surface layer, and the distance from natural plant complexes that serve as a source of seeds coming to the disturbed area.     

Effect of Flavonoids on the Ecology of Enterobacteria

The effect of flavonoids, natural plant metabolites, on the growth and viability of enterobacteria was studied using S. typhimurium and E. coli strains defective in some components of the DNA repair system. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of several flavonoids were measured. These agents were shown to have a weak bactericidal and a marked bacteriostatic effect, the latter increasing under anaerobic conditions. It is proposed that the mechanism of the bacteriostatic action of flavonoids is based on topoisomerase II inhibition. On the basis of these results, the ability of flavonoids to differentially suppress bacterial growth and their probable influence on the ecology of microorganisms (the formation, species composition, and ecological balance of natural microbial communities) are discussed.     

制药残留溶剂对废水生物降解系统微生物毒性的测定方法比较

水质生物毒性测定是评价水环境质量的重要内容,制药废水有机物含量高,有些成分可抑制污泥活性或具有生物毒性.为了更准确地评估制药废水的生物毒性,筛选出适用于准确评价污染物对废水生物降解系统中微生物生物毒性的方法,对发光细菌法、脱氢酶活性法、硝化抑制法及呼吸速率法4种生物毒性测定方法进行了比较研究,以甲苯、二甲基甲酰胺、三乙胺3种常见制药有机溶剂为研究对象、氯化汞为标准毒物.结果表明,各测定方法得出的结果不同,根据灵敏度和测定时间,4种方法排序为发光细菌法(2 h)、脱氢酶活性法(7 h)、硝化速率法(120 h)、呼吸速率法(48 h),与其他3种基于活性污泥毒性的测定方法相比,发光细菌法具有最高的灵敏度.3种活性污泥法对有机溶剂的毒性响应具有相同顺序,从高到低为二甲基甲酰胺、三乙胺、甲苯,而发光细菌法与之不同,顺序为三乙胺、甲苯、二甲基甲酰胺.综合考虑测定方法的灵敏度、测试时间、操作简便性,推荐选取灵敏度最高的发光细菌试验和以活性污泥为受试对象的脱氢酶活性法联合使用,将二者综合的测定结果作为判定依据,可以更准确地判定制药残留溶剂对废水生物降解系统的生物毒性.     

洱海沙坪湾湖滨带不同植被带中细菌分布特征

湖滨带是湖泊保护的重要屏障,其不同植被带中的细菌对入湖污染物降解起重要作用.为研究不同植被带中的细菌分布,以洱海沙坪湾湖滨带为研究对象,采用Illumina HiSeq高通量测序方法,对其中AG(乔草植被带)、EP(挺水植被带)、SP(沉水植被带)和UV(无植被带)的土壤或沉积物中的细菌多样性和群落结构进行研究.结果表明:湖滨带植被带中细菌种类丰富,共有54个门、106个纲、192个目、334个科和503个属被检测到,细菌的OTUs从高到低依次为EP(3 162个)、AG(2 926个)、UV(2 709个)和SP(2 427个),Shannon-Wiener多样性指数从高到低依次为EP(10.14)、AG(9.75)、SP(9.44) 和UV(9.26);湖滨带植被带中主要细菌类群是变形菌门(Proteobacteria)(AG,48.55%;EP,47.83%;SP,40.36%;UV,44.00%)、酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)(AG,19.30%;EP,5.31%;SP,5.67%;UV,6.30%)、厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)(AG,6.01%;EP,8.24%;SP,3.96%;UV,13.13%)和绿弯菌门(Chloroflexi)(AG,3.98%;EP,8.91%;SP,8.95%;UV,7.59%),主要类群在不同植被带中占比不同;植被带类型对细菌的群落结构特征影响不大,但对细菌种群的多样性影响较大.典型对应分析(CCA)结果显示,w(TP)、pH和w(OM)(OM为有机质)是影响不同植被带细菌种群结构的主要环境因子.      

喷泉产生的细菌气溶胶空间分布特性

为阐明喷泉产生的细菌气溶胶空间分布特性,利用大肠杆菌NK5449作为试验菌株,通过喷泉喷洒试验,使用安德森六级空气采样器采集喷泉周围空间的细菌气溶胶,研究各级细菌气溶胶的浓度和粒径分布特征和变化规律,并分析其与液滴直径的相关性.结果表明,在高度0.75~1.75 m,距离喷头0.5~3 m的范围内,细菌气溶胶总浓度在(38±15)~(676±92)CFU·m-3之间,并随着高度的增加和与喷头之间水平距离的增大而逐渐降低,且与液滴直径呈显著负相关(P0.05);随着与喷头水平距离的增大,粒径大于4.7μm的细菌气溶胶粒子所占比例出现先降后升的变化趋势;而粒径在2.1~4.7μm之间的粒子所占比例则是先升后降.与喷头水平距离0.5 m以外的各点,细菌气溶胶粒子的粒径大都集中在1.1~4.7μm范围内.距离喷泉较远处的人吸入小粒径细菌气溶胶的风险不容忽视.     

外接菌种对污泥堆肥效能及堆体细菌群落的影响

以污泥、锯末、蘑菇渣为堆肥原料,分阶段添加高温复合菌和白腐真菌,通过测定温度、pH、有机质、水溶性有机碳、含水率、总氮、NH_4~+-N、NO_3~--N和种子发芽率,比较了外接菌种对堆肥效能的影响.利用高通量测序技术,研究了污泥堆肥过程中细菌群落结构变化及外接菌种对细菌群落的影响.结果表明,外接菌种可以延长堆体高温持续时间,降低氮损失,加快堆体腐熟脱毒.在整个堆肥过程中,细菌群落结构发生了较大的演变,同一堆肥的不同阶段的细菌群落结构相似性较低,同一时期不同堆肥的细菌群落结构相似性较高.外接菌种提高了堆体中细菌群落的丰富度,增加了高温期优势菌的所占比例,但未改变优势菌的种类.典型对应分析(CCA)表明pH对细菌群落结构的影响最大,温度主要与9个菌属呈正相关关系.     

Microscopic Visualization of the Enzymatic Degradation of Poly(3HB-co-3HV) and Poly(3HV) Single Crystals by PHA Depolymerases From Pseudomonas lemoignei

As a complement to previous studies of the enzymatic degradation of folded chain lamellar single crystals of polyhydroxyalkanoates, single crystals of a number of polyhydroxyalkanoates were partially degraded with depolymerases from Pseudomonas lemoignei and examined by transmission electron microscopy. Single crystals of bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), bacterial poly(3-hydroxyvalerate), and synthetic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) with 88% isotactic diads were degraded using purified extracellular PHA-depolymerases from P. lemoignei: PHB-depolymerase A, PHB-depolymerase B, and depolymerases from recombinant E. coli: PHB-depolymerase PhaZ4 (PHB-depolymerase E), PHB-depolymerase PhaZl (PHB-depolymerase C), and PHB-depolymerase PhaZ5 (PHB-depolymerase A). In contrast to previous results with single crystals of bacterial PHB, the predominant effect observed with all crystals was a significant narrowing of the lamellae. This suggests an edge attack mechanism which because of lateral disorder of the crystals leads to a narrowing of the crystalline lamellae as opposed to the splintering effect previously observed. The model suggested for the degradation of single crystals of bacterial PHB by PHB-depolymerases is refined to include the effects of lateral disorder caused by the introduction of valerate or repeat units of opposite stereochemistry into the single crystal.

Naturalistic hotspots along the Itinerarium Rosaliae (CW Sicily,Italy)

The conservation, fruition and management of landscape and natural resources is one of the most important topic of the moment. Here we presented a study on naturalistic hotspots that can be found along the Itinerarium Rosaliae, a naturalistic and religious route in Sicily that crosses three natural reserves and one natural regional park connecting Mount Pellegrino with the Hermitage of Santo Stefano di Quisquina. On the whole 7 semi-natural woods, 13 monumental trees, 8 geosites, and 4 areas of high naturalistic interest were identified. This initiative can be of example for other territories where human and natural heritage can be connected for an organic network of fruition.
