贫营养条件下2种MBR污泥微生物的菌群对比

为了揭示贫营养环境下MBR污泥微生物群落结构的演替和菌群变化的异同,取洗浴再生水、工业再生水MBR的污泥进行周期培养,利用PCR-DGGE和克隆测序技术获得了DNA指纹图谱并建立系统发育树。研究表明,微生物群落结构在贫营养条件下演替明显,洗浴水污泥微生物形成新的优势菌群(Uncultured Pseudomonas)而工业水只维持了原有的部分菌群(Uncultured Sphaerotilus)。2种污泥培养过程中种群多样性变化突出且差异显著。同时洗浴水污泥菌群相似性在培养第8天时发生突变而工业水总体变化平缓。克隆测序表明2种MBR污泥中既有与贫营养环境适生的共性种属又有与各自来源相对应的特性种属。菌群特异性与废水来源紧密相关,是造成2种污泥对贫营养环境适应能力不同的根本原因。     

Simultaneous biodegradation of nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds in a sequencing batch bioreactor

Many nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds (NACs), such as nitrobenzene (NB), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), aniline (AN), and 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), are environmentally hazardous, and their removal from contaminated water is one of the main challenges facing wastewater treatment plants. In this study, synthetic wastewater containing NB, 4-NP, 2,4-DNP, and AN at concentrations ranging from 50 to 180 mg/L was fed into a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Analyses of the SBR system indicated that it simultaneously removed more than 99% of the NACs at loading rates of 0.36 kg NB/(m3·d), 0.3 kg 4-NP/(m3·d), 0.25 kg AN/(m3·d), and 0.1 kg 2,4-DNP/(m3·d). Bacterial groups of Bacteriodetes, Candidate division TM7, α-Proteobacteria, and β-Proteobacteria were dominant in the clone libraries of 16S rRNA genes retrieved from the microbial communities in the SBR system. "Cycle tests" designed to alter feeding and aeration parameters of the SBR system demonstrated that the resident microbial biome of the SBR system responded rapidly to changing conditions. Consumption of O2 was concomitant with the apparent mineralization of NACs. Aromatic ring-cleaving dioxygenase activities suggested that (1) AN and NB were degraded via catechol 2,3-dioxygenase; (2) 4-NP was degraded via 1,2,4-benzentriol 1,2-dioxygenase; and (3) 2,4-DNP was degraded via an unresolved pathway.     

常温低基质下碱度和溶解氧对厌氧氨氧化的影响

通过改变进水碱度、光照条件和溶解氧,对以陶粒为填料的常温低基质上向流厌氧氨氧化生物滤柱的脱氮性能进行了研究.借助克隆测序技术对滤柱内的微生物菌群进行了分析.结果表明,水温为20℃±2℃,水力停留时间为3 h条件下,当进水碱度在44~350 mg·L-1时,随着碱度的降低,氨氮去除率从97.2%降至75.6%,总氮去除率从89.7%降至75.1%,而亚硝氮去除率稳定在99.7%,进水碱度为0 mg·L-1时,出水亚硝氮浓度突跃至4.9 mg·L-1.当进水碱度恢复至350 mg·L-1,存在自然光照情况下,氨氮去除率较没有光照时的氨氮去除率降低12.3%.水力停留时间为1.5 h条件下,当进水DO小于3mg·L-1时,平均氨氮去除率和亚硝氮去除率分别为99.7%和100%,平均总氮去除负荷为1.0 kg·(m3·d)-1.16S rRNA克隆测序鉴定结果表明,滤柱下部的厌氧氨氧化菌种类为Candidatus Jettenia asiatica和Candidatus Brocadia sp.,这两种菌对20℃±2℃水温有很好的适应性.     

艾比湖湿地盐节木根际土壤氨氧化微生物多样性和丰度及其与环境因子的相关性分析

氨氧化反应是硝化作用的关键步骤,参与这一反应的微生物是氨氧化细菌(AOB)和氨氧化古菌(AOA).对新疆艾比湖湿地盐节木根际和非根际土壤的氨氧化微生物进行群落结构和丰度分析,并探究其与土壤理化因子的相关性.同时,以氨单加氧酶基因(amo A)为分子标记,构建克隆文库和测序并与q-PCR法结合研究AOA、AOB的群落结构和丰度,利用Pearson相关分析法探究其与环境因子的相关性.结果表明,根际土壤中AOB的多样性高于AOA,amo A基因序列多属于土壤/水体沉积物分支,AOB克隆文库中的所有序列均属于亚硝化单胞菌属(Nitrosomonas).根际土壤中AOA amo A和AOB amo A的数量分别为2.09×104和2.91×105copies·g~(-1),AOB/AOA的比值为13.9;非根际土壤中AOA amo A和AOB amo A的数量分别为3.85×104和4.76×105copies·g~(-1),AOB/AOA的比值为12.36.相关分析显示,氨氧化微生物的群落结构和丰度与电导率(EC)、有机质(OM)、速效氮(AN)、氨氮(NH_4~+-N)和总氮(TN)等环境因子显著相关.这些结果表明,根际土壤中AOB的群落多样性高于AOA,根际和非根际土壤中AOB的丰度均高于AOA,说明在艾比湖湿地AOB是氨氧化微生物的优势种群,且EC、OM、AN、NH_4~+-N和TN可能会影响氨氧化微生物的群落结构和丰度.     

Characterization of the airborne bacteria community at different distances from the rotating brushes in a wastewater treatment plant by 16S rRNA gene clone libraries

Biological risks of bioaerosols emitted from wastewater treatment processes have attracted wide attention in the recent years. However, the culture-based analysis method has been mostly adopted for detecting the bacterial community in bioaerosols, which may result in the underestimation of total microorganism concentration as not all microorganisms are cultivable. In this study, oligonucleotide fingerprinting of 16S rRNA genes was applied to reveal the composition and structure of the bacterial community in bioaerosols from an Orbal oxidation ditch in a Beijing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Bioaerosols were collected at different distances from the aerosol source, rotating brushes, and the sampling height was 1.5 m which is the common respiratory height of a human being. The bacterial communities of bioaerosols were diverse, and the lowest bacterial diversity was found at the sampling site just after the rotating brush rotating brush. A large proportion of bacteria in bioaerosols were affiliated with Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. Numerous bacteria present in the bioaerosols also emerged in water, indicating that the bacterial community in the bioaerosols was related to that of the aerosols’ sources. The forced aeration of rotating brushes brought about observably distinct bacterial communities between sampling sites situated before and after the rotating brush. Isolation sources of closest relatives in bioaerosols clone libraries were associated with the aqueous environment in the WWTP. Common potential pathogens in bioaerosols as well as those not reported in previous research were also analyzed in this study. Measures should be adopted to reduce the emission of bioaerosols and prevent their exposure to workers.     

厌氧氨氧化菌的富集培养与分子鉴定

采用传统培养方法与分子生物学方法相结合,进行了厌氧氨氧化菌的分离培养与分子鉴定.富集培养以2种不同反应器的厌氧氨氧化污泥作为分离源,以亚硝酸盐与铵盐为底物.经过2 a传代培养获得2个培养系,对亚硝酸盐及铵盐具有稳定的去除能力,氨氮去除率为85%左右.通过16S rRNA克隆文库方法对培养系中浮霉菌门微生物群落结构进行了多样性解析,结果表明2个培养系中的厌氧氨氧化菌是同一种微生物,代表序列比对结果与"Kuenenia stuttgartiensis"同源性为99%.采用"K.stuttgartiensis"的特异探针对培养系进行了荧光原位杂交分析(FISH),进一步证实"K.stuttgartiensis"是培养系中的优势厌氧氨氧化菌,占总菌群数的80%～90%.对反应器中"K.stuttgartiensis"的丰度变化进行了FISH跟踪检测,发现原始接种污泥中"K.stuttgartiensis"为主要厌氧氨氧化菌,经过2 a运行该菌在污泥中的丰度由11%提高到24%.     

厌氧污泥降解萘动力学与生物多样性研究

为对工业废水中的萘进行高效的生物处理,采集某石油工业废水处理装置的厌氧活性污泥,以萘和萘与乳酸钠为电子供体进行驯化培养.当一个驯化周期中萘去除率达到90%以上时,研究间歇反应条件下分别以萘和萘与乳酸钠为电子供体时的降解动力学,并提取去除率高的污泥中微生物总DNA,构建16S rDNA基因片段克隆文库分析细菌群落结构.结果表明,以单一萘为电子供体时萘的降解率远远小于萘与乳酸钠共代谢时的降解率;两种驯化模式下萘浓度与时间符合一级反应动力学,动力学常数K分别为3.5×10-3h-1和16×10-3h-1.萘与乳酸钠共代谢污泥中细菌类群主要为Deltaproteobacteria、Thermotogae、Bacteroidetes、Chloroflexi和Unclassified bacteria,其中Deltaproteobacteria类细菌占主导地位.在成熟的厌氧活性污泥中Desulfobulbus sp.所占比例为24.2%;Kosmotoga占21.0%.此外,反应器中还存在Smithella、Syntrophobacter、Levilinea等细菌.对厌氧活性污泥中细菌多样性的研究有利于优化反应条件,从而提高污泥中萘的去除率.     

WSSD 2002, Latin America and Brazil: Biodiversity and Indigenous People

Latin America comprehends notable variations in terms of natural environment, availability of natural resources, living standards, and demographic patterns. Latin America is a mosaic of cultures, post- and pre-Columbian. The rich variety of life forms discovered and described by chroniclers and traveling naturalists in the Neotropics contributed to the proposal, in mid-XVIIIth century, of a new system of classification and a scientific code of nomenclature for all organisms. Biodiversity was, for many centuries, a source of resources to be exploited in natura. In scientific circles, its inventory became the domain of taxonomists. But modern technology showed how important the miriad of life forms really are as sources of chemical molecules to be engineered as drugs and reassembled as novel manufactured products. We are on the brink of a new agricultural and medical revolution, thanks to the techniques of genetic engineering, which will lead eventually to the elimination of hunger and malnutrition.In this essay, the Brazilian environmental and social heterogeneity will serve as an example to illustrate some key points, which have influenced sustainability policies. The Amazon deforestation and indigenous knowledge (IK), subjects often associated with areas of high biodiversity, are usually the focus of environmental debates. The importance of IK in integrating development, reducing poverty and sustainability are considered together with the intellectual property rights of native populations.In the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) Implementation Plan, a few paragraphs were dedicated to Latin America, because of the pre-existing Action Platform on the Road to Johannesburg 2002, approved in Rio de Janeiro in October 2001. This paper calls attention to the need to draw up specific environmental policies for a region which shows an extremely high cultural and biological diversity, associated with a high availability of forests and water, among other resources.     

农村污水膜生物反应器系统中微生物群落解析

农村污水的随意排放和未加限制的灌溉回用可能会导致水源地环境污染加剧,并且其中潜在的病原微生物对周边淡水资源安全和农村居民的身心健康造成潜在的威胁.为了解农村污水的微生物群落组成,为后续污水灌溉的病原微生物风险评价提供理论依据,采用末端限制性片段长度多态性(T-RFLP)和16S r DNA基因克隆文库技术研究农村污水膜生物反应器(MBR)系统中的微生物群落多样性,并结合实时荧光定量PCR方法监测处理前后典型病原菌——弓形菌(Arcobacter spp.)以及总细菌数量的变化.从未处理的农村污水中获取的73个阳性克隆测序结果表明,其主要细菌类群为变形菌门(91.8%)、厚壁菌门(2.70%)、拟杆菌门(1.40%),以及部分不可培养细菌(4.10%).其中弓形菌属是ε-变形菌门的优势菌,也是农村污水中的优势菌株,占克隆总数的68.5%.TRFLP的结果表明,不同处理工艺阶段的主要细菌类群及丰度明显不同,调节池的物种丰度(S)、Shannon-Wiener(H)和物种均匀度(E)最高,分别为43.0、3.56和0.95.定量PCR结果显示未处理的农村污水中弓形菌数量高达(1.09±0.064 0)×1011copies·L-1,该结果与克隆文库结果均表明弓形菌在污水中确实占较高比例.与未处理的农村污水相比,处理后的出水中所监测的弓形菌及细菌总拷贝数分别减少了2~3个数量级,说明MBR处理系统在一定程度上能够去除微生物.处理后的再生水理化指标及指示菌卫生指标均符合农田灌溉用水标准,但其中残留病原微生物引发的健康风险仍需进一步评价.
