Assessment of sunflower germplasm for phytoremediation of lead-polluted soil and production of seed oil and seed meal for human and animal consumption

Phytoremediation is a valuable technology for mitigating soil contamination in agricultural lands, but phytoremediation without economic revenue is unfeasible for land owners and farmers. The use of crops with high biomass and bioenergy for phytoremediation is a unique strategy to derive supplementary benefits along with remediation activities. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a high-biomass crop that can be used for the phytoremediation of polluted lands with additional advantages (biomass and oil). In this study, 40 germplasms of sunflower were screened in field conditions for phytoremediation with the possibility for oil and meal production. The study was carried out to the physiological maturity stage. All studied germplasms mopped up substantial concentrations of Pb, with maximum amounts in shoot?>?root?>?seed respectively. The phytoextraction efficiency of the germplasm was assessed in terms of the Transfer factor (TF), Metal removal efficiency (MRE) and Metal extraction ratio (MER). Among all assessed criteria, GP.8585 was found to be most appropriate for restoring moderately Pb-contaminated soil accompanied with providing high biomass and high yield production. The Pb content in the oil of GP.8585 was below the Food safety standard of China, with 59.5% oleic acid and 32.1% linoleic acid. Moreover, amino acid analysis in meal illustrated significant differences among essential and non-essential amino acids. Glutamic acid was found in the highest percentage (22.4%), whereas cysteine in the lowest percentage (1.3%). Therefore, its efficient phytoextraction ability and good quality edible oil and meal production makes GP.8585 the most convenient sunflower germplasm for phytoremediation of moderately Pb-contaminated soil, with fringe benefits to farmers and landowners.     

加热和鼠李糖脂预处理促进剩余污泥厌氧发酵积累短链脂肪酸

短链挥发性脂肪酸（volatile fatty acids,VFA）,如乙酸和丙酸,是高碳氮比海水养殖废水处理时更易利用的碳源,对剩余污泥进行恰当预处理是其后续厌氧发酵获得优质短链脂肪酸的关键.本研究分别运用加热水解和鼠李糖脂水解对剩余污泥进行预处理,继而厌氧发酵,通过检测溶解性有机质（SCOD、多糖和蛋白）、胞内水解酶活性、短链VFA以及氨氮等指标特征,探究预处理技术对短链脂肪酸尤其是乙酸和丙酸单位产量的影响.结果表明,65℃、2 h加热水解预处理能促进污泥中VFA的溶出和发酵过程中碳源的转化,剩余污泥厌氧发酵3 d时,产生的VFA是无预处理组的2倍,乙酸是优势产物;鼠李糖脂水解的剩余污泥,发酵8 d时产生的VFA是无预处理的4倍,丙酸是优势产物.相比丙酸而言,乙酸是反硝化脱氮、微生物燃料电池（MFC）更好的碳源.因此,从VFA组成类型、发酵时间以及应用的可行性等考量,加热水解是一种相对经济可行的促进剩余污泥发酵制取优质脂肪酸的预处理方式.     

季节性冻融对扎龙湿地土壤微生物群落结构和胞外酶活性的影响

选取扎龙湿地芦苇沼泽为研究对象,采用磷脂脂肪酸法和微孔板法研究了季节性冻融期土壤微生物群落结构和胞外酶活性的动态变化规律.结果表明,微生物总磷脂脂肪酸（PLFA）含量和细菌PLFA含量均呈先降低后升高趋势,而真菌PLFA含量呈先升高后降低趋势.冻融初期至融冻初期,β-葡萄糖苷酶显著降低了71.84%,β-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶表现为先升高后降低趋势,酸性磷酸酶在融冻初期最高、冻融初期最低,过氧化物酶和多酚氧化酶峰值均出现在融冻后期.主成分分析表明,季节性冻融显著改变了土壤微生物群落结构.冗余分析发现,土壤含水率与总PLFA、细菌、革兰氏阳性菌、革兰氏阴性菌、放线菌、过氧化物酶和多酚氧化酶呈显著正相关（p<0.05）;土壤全磷、速效磷、速效氮与真菌和β-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶呈显著正相关;β-葡萄糖苷酶主要受土壤碳氮比和有机质影响,而土壤微生物与胞外酶活性在不同冻融时期具有显著相关性（p<0.05）.因此,探究全球变化背景下土壤微生物和胞外酶对季节性冻融过程的响应机制,可为深入解析扎龙湿地土壤质量演变特征及湿地生态系统功能的恢复与保护提供科学依据.     

直流电场强化活性污泥法处理木质素废水的效能、污泥特性及群落结构研究

以溶解态木质素模拟废水为研究对象,考察了不同直流电场条件下活性污泥反应器(R1,无电流,悬浮污泥)、电极生物膜反应器(R2,电流I=10~60 mA,无悬浮污泥)与电极生物膜-活性污泥反应器(R3,I=10~60 mA,悬浮污泥)中木质素废水的处理效能、污泥生理特性(活菌比、木质素过氧化物酶(LiP)、三磷酸腺苷(ATP)等)、细胞膜磷脂脂肪酸组成及微生物群落结构的差异.结果表明:相同的外加电流下,R3的木质素去除率均高于R2(p0.05),其中,30 mA时达到最大值30.19%±0.47%,分别为R1、R2木质素去除率的2.01倍和1.46倍.反应器R2在20~40 mA时的总氮去除效果最好,达到71.96%±5.79%.分析R1、R3悬浮污泥发现,外加电流升高不改变悬浮污泥的活菌比(p0.05),木质素去除率受LiP酶活影响不大;与低电流(10~30 mA)相比,高电流(40~60 mA)下悬浮污泥中C15∶0 ANTEISO的含量降低,长链磷脂脂肪酸(C19、C20)的相对含量增加;R3悬浮污泥中Flavobacterium、Pseudomonas和Janthinobacterium等可降解木质素的菌属在10 mA外加电流的刺激下相对丰度均最高.在电极微生物方面,与R3相比,R2阴极微生物中具有反硝化能力的Methyloversatilis成为优势菌属,阳极微生物中存在更多具有电子传递能力的菌属(Pseudomonas、Ralstonia).冗余分析(RDA)表明,悬浮污泥中Mycobacterium(降解木质素的好氧细菌)丰度与电流(I)显著正相关(p0.05),与不饱和脂肪酸(UFA)显著负相关(p0.05).     

典型旅游城市河流水体及污水厂出水中全氟烷基酸类化合物的空间分布及其前体物的转化

全氟烷基酸类化合物(perfluoroalkyl Acids,PFAAs)在各环境介质中被普遍检出,对生态环境和人体健康具有潜在风险.为探明旅游型城市不同水体PFAAs污染特征及其前体物对污染的贡献,以典型旅游型城市——日照市为例,基于超高效液相色谱-串联质谱,结合WAX固相萃取及羟基自由基氧化等方法,系统分析了日照市主要河流水体和污水厂出水中15种PFAAs及其3种前体物的含量水平和空间分布特征,探讨PFAAs前体物的转化潜力及其对污染的贡献.结果表明,在上述水体中15种PFAAs普遍被检出,前体物中只有全氟辛基磺酰胺(perfluorooctane sulfoneamide,FOSA)被检出;在河流水体和污水厂出水中总质量浓度(ΣPFAAs)分别为3. 79~45. 58 ng·L~(-1)和54. 04~105. 64 ng·L~(-1),其中质量浓度较高的污染物是全氟辛烷磺酸(perfluorooctanesulfonic acid,PFOS)、全氟己烷磺酸(perfluorohexanesulfonic acid,PFHx S)、全氟辛酸(perfluorooctanoic acid,PFOA)和全氟壬酸(perfluorononanoic acid,PFNA).河流水体ΣPFAAs明显低于污水厂出水,河流下游水体高于上游.运用羟基自由基氧化法对样品进行氧化处理后,所有样品PFAAs的质量浓度都明显升高;相对于河流水体,污水厂出水中碳原子数为4~12的全氟羧酸类化合物(perfluorinated carboxylic acids,PFCAs)浓度增加值(ΣΔPFCAC4~C12)更高,这可能是由于PFAAs前体物在污水处理过程中降解所致.研究成果可为旅游城市新型污染物环境污染防治提供数据支撑和技术借鉴.     

金佛山不同高程岩溶泉初春时期溶解态脂类生物标志物研究

为探究金佛山不同高程的表层岩溶泉入春时期溶解有机质的来源和转化特点,于2017年1、2和4月分别在水房泉(2045 m)和碧潭泉(730 m)进行采样,利用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)对样品中脂类生物标志物(溶解态正构烷烃、脂肪酸)的组分进行定量分析.结果表明,水房泉和碧潭泉溶解态正构烷烃(T-ALK)含量变化范围分别为1546~19314 ng·L~(-1)和1089~12234 ng·L~(-1),平均含量分别为8036、5553ng·L~(-1);脂肪酸变化范围分别为4163~13048 ng·L~(-1)和5519~10079 ng·L~(-1),平均含量分别为8039和8421 ng·L~(-1).由于春季气温回升和降水增多,正构烷烃和脂肪酸含量总体均处于上升趋势.同时,基于正构烷烃分子参数CPI、OEP、TAR、L/H发现,溶解态正构烷烃以细菌源为主,高等植物源输入逐月升高,以低海拔处的碧潭泉变化更为显著.溶解态脂肪酸1、2月以细菌源为主,4月以真菌源和高等植物源脂肪酸为主,细菌源比重依然较高,且因不同海拔的生境不同导致碧潭泉的水生生物输入较水房泉更稳定.     

不同基质配比对农村生活垃圾厌氧发酵效率及稳定性的影响

以典型农村生活垃圾餐厨垃圾(Food Waste,FW)与纸类垃圾(Paper Waste,PW)为基质,通过中温(35℃)批次厌氧共发酵试验,探明不同配比的基质在厌氧共发酵4阶段(水解阶段、酸化阶段、乙酸化阶段、产甲烷阶段)的动力学特性,再结合挥发性脂肪酸(Volatile fatty acids,VFAs)在系统运行过程中的变化,确定FW与PW的最佳配比。结果表明,水解阶段是纸类垃圾的主要限速步骤,而VFAs积累限制了餐厨垃圾甲烷化进程的提高,且VFAs积累主要以丙酸与丁酸为主。当w(FW)≥35%时,产甲烷速率随VFAs质量浓度增大而线性减小,过高的VFAs质量浓度抑制了产甲烷菌的活性。FW与PW最佳基质配比为35∶65(质量比),在此条件下反应速率最为突出,系统运行高效,VFAs能及时被产甲烷菌利用,无有机酸积累,系统运行平稳。     

Organic aerosol molecular composition and gas–particle partitioning coefficients at a Mediterranean site (Corsica)

Molecular speciation of atmospheric organic matter was investigated during a short summer field campaign performed in a citrus fruit field in northern Corsica(June 2011). Aimedat assessing the performance on the field of newly developed analytical protocols, this work focuses on the molecular composition of both gas and particulate phases and provides an insight into partitioning behavior of the semi-volatile oxygenated fraction. Limonene ozonolysis tracers were specifically searched for, according to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry(GC–MS) data previously recorded for smog chamber experiments. A screening of other oxygenated species present in the field atmosphere was also performed. About sixty polar molecules were positively or tentatively identified in gas and/or particle phases. These molecules comprise a wide range of branched and linear, mono and di-carbonyls(C_3–C7),mono and di-carboxylic acids(C_3–C_18), and compounds bearing up to three functionalities.Among these compounds, some can be specifically attributed to limonene oxidation and others can be related to α- or β-pinene oxidation. This provides an original snapshot of the organic matter composition at a Mediterranean site in summer. Furthermore, for compounds identified and quantified in both gaseous and particulate phases, an experimental gas/particle partitioning coefficient was determined. Several volatile products, which are not expected in the particulate phase assuming thermodynamic equilibrium, were nonetheless present in significant concentrations. Hypotheses are proposed to explain these observations, such as the possible aerosol viscosity that could hinder the theoretical equilibrium to be rapidly reached.     

基于PLFA法分析亚硝氮、硝氮和氨氮对厌氧微生物细菌群落的影响

利用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)技术研究了亚硝氮、硝氮和氨氮在不同浓度水平下对中温厌氧颗粒污泥中厌氧细菌群落结构的影响.结果表明,高浓度亚硝氮(360 mg·L-1,以N计)、硝氮(300 mg·L-1,以N计)和氨氮(3000 mg·L-1,以N计)使系统COD去除率分别下降至3.49%、10.85%和71.53%,并使污泥表面主要细菌由杆菌变为球状菌;亚硝氮和硝氮引起厌氧细菌和革兰氏阳性菌的含量下降,氨氮引起革兰氏阴性菌的含量下降;PLFA香农-威尔多样性指数随着亚硝氮和硝氮浓度的升高从1.12分别下降至0.96和1.03,氨氮对PLFA香农-威尔多样性指数无明显影响.     

生物质炭对邻苯二甲酸二丁酯污染土壤微生物群落结构多样性的影响

在邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)污染的不同类型土壤(有机质含量低的新垦红壤、有机质含量高的熟化红壤)中添加不同种类(稻草炭、毛竹炭)以及不同用量(0%、0.5%和2%)的生物质炭,温室种植上海青并在56 d后采集土样,采用磷脂脂肪酸法(PLFA)考察了土壤类型、生物质炭种类以及用量对土壤微生物群落结构多样性的影响.结果表明:对细菌、真菌及微生物总PLFA这三者的含量而言,熟化红壤显著(p0.05)高于新垦红壤,熟化红壤中添加2%稻草炭使其显著(p0.05)增加,新垦红壤中添加毛竹炭使其显著(p0.05)降低.新垦红壤中添加2%稻草炭对革兰氏阴性菌/革兰氏阳性菌比值的增加效果最显著(p0.05),添加2%毛竹炭对土壤微生物群落Shannon指数的降低效果最显著(p0.05).添加2%稻草炭对DBP污染土壤中微生物压力指数降低效果最显著(p0.05).生物质炭对熟化红壤中真菌/细菌、革兰氏阴性菌/革兰氏阳性菌及微生物群落Shannon指数均无显著影响.PCA分析表明,土壤有机质含量以及生物质炭的种类和用量均会对土壤微生物群落结构产生一定影响,且生物质炭的影响与土壤有机质含量密切相关.
