沙尘天气对生物气溶胶中总微生物浓度及粒径分布的影响

为了解沙尘对生物气溶胶中微生物的影响,于2015年3~4月间分别在兰州和青岛沙尘期间运用分级生物气溶胶采样器连续采集了生物气溶胶样品,并利用DAPI染色-荧光显微镜计数方法测定了总微生物浓度.结果表明,沙尘发生时生物气溶胶中总微生物浓度显著增加(P0.05).兰州和青岛总微生物浓度晴天背景均值分别为5.61×10~5cells·m~(-3)和2.08×10~5cells·m~(-3),沙尘时平均浓度分别是晴天的14.8倍和6.42倍.晴天时兰州和青岛两地样品微生物粒径分布均呈双峰分布,最高峰值均出现在7.0μm的粒径上,最低值均出现在4.7~7.0μm的粒径上,浓度次高峰值分别出现在3.3~4.7μm的粒径上和1.1~2.1μm的粒径上.沙尘时粒径分布均发生明显变化,兰州仍呈现双峰分布,但其中一个峰值从7.0μm移动到1.1~2.1μm;而青岛粒径由双峰分布变为粗粒径偏态分布.兰州和青岛沙尘前微生物负荷的背景值分别是2 224 cells·μg~(-1)和1 550 cells·μg~(-1),而沙尘发生时,颗粒物的微生物负荷均大幅增加,最高值分别达26 442 cells·μg~(-1)和10 250 cells·μg~(-1),这说明沙尘天气发生时,微生物浓度的增加不仅仅是因为空气中颗粒物的增加,而是因为长距离传输的沙尘颗粒携带有大量外源微生物.     

Molecular approaches for the detection and monitoring of microbial communities in bioaerosols: A review

Bioaerosols significantly affect atmospheric processes while they undergo long-range vertical and horizontal transport and influence atmospheric chemistry and physics and climate change. Accumulating evidence suggests that exposure to bioaerosols may cause adverse health effects, including severe disease. Studies of bioaerosols have primarily focused on their chemical composition and largely neglected their biological composition and the negative effects of biological composition on ecosystems and human health. Here, current molecular methods for the identification, quantification, and distribution of bioaerosol agents are reviewed. Modern developments in environmental microbiology technology would be favorable in elucidation of microbial temporal and spatial distribution in the atmosphere at high resolution. In addition, these provide additional supports for growing evidence that microbial diversity or composition in the bioaerosol is an indispensable environmental aspect linking with public health.     

添加剂对厨余垃圾堆肥中H_2S和NH_3排放的影响

以大类粗分后的厨余垃圾为研究对象,玉米秸秆作为调理剂,以不添加菌剂的处理作为对照(CK),以添加腐熟堆肥、鼠李糖脂和固体专用菌剂为3个处理,研究菌剂添加对厨余垃圾堆肥过程中H_2S和NH_3排放的影响。研究结果表明:菌剂添加促进了堆肥腐熟;添加腐熟堆肥更能有效地降低厨余垃圾堆肥过程中H_2S排放,而鼠李糖脂的添加更能有效控制NH_3的排放。从恶臭气体控制、堆肥腐熟并结合H_2S和NH_3的检知嗅阈,优选腐熟堆肥作为厨余垃圾堆肥过程中实现H_2S和NH_3同时减排的添加剂。

生物陶粒与生物活性炭上微生物群落结构的PCR-SSCP技术解析

采用PCR-SSCP(单链构象多态性)技术,以16S rRNA基因的V4-V5区为靶对象,分析用于饮用水处理的生物陶粒和生物活性炭上的微生物群落结构.对生物陶粒和生物活性炭上的微生物分别进行超声波洗脱、R2A和LB平板培养后提取基因组DNA.结果表明,除生物活性炭超声波洗脱不能提取到DNA外,其他处理均能提取到大小在10 kb以上的基因组DNA,但所提取的量有较大差异.以提取的DNA为模板分别进行PCR,均能扩增到408 bp的基因片段.这些片段经λ核酸外切酶消化处理后进行SSCP电泳.结果显示,超声波洗脱、R2A和LB培养对试验结果影响不明显.生物陶粒的微生物基因扩增片段SSCP图谱相同,且只出现1条带.测序后与基因组数据库对比,结果显示其与uncultured Pseudomonas sp. clone FTL201 16S rDNA （GenBank登录号AF509293.1）片段同源性为92%.生物活性炭的微生物基因扩增片段SSCP图谱也相同,但有2条带.测序对比的结果表明, 这2个基因片段与Bacillus sp. JH19 16S rDNA （GenBank 登录号DQ232748.1）片段和Bacterium VA-S-11 16S rDNA （GenBank登录号AY395279.1）片段的同源性分别为100%和99%.

有机物对厌氧氨氧化微生物燃料电池脱氮产电性能的影响

通过接种厌氧氨氧化污泥到微生物燃料电池阳极,成功启动厌氧氨氧化微生物燃料电池(ANAMMOX-MFC),研究了葡萄糖和苯酚对ANAMMOX-MFC脱氮产电性能的影响.结果表明,当葡萄糖浓度较低时(100~200 mg·L~(-1))时,对ANAMMOX菌有促进作用,ANAMMOX-MFC脱氮产电性能增强,此时反应器进出水COD浓度变化不大;当葡萄糖浓度高于300 mg·L~(-1)时,产电性能逐渐下降,NH+4-N去除率和去除速率逐渐下降,而NO-2-N去除率和去除速率基本保持不变,此时出水COD浓度也出现降低,说明厌氧氨氧化菌活性受到抑制,反硝化菌活性开始增强.极化曲线拟合程度较低,COD浓度变化对电池内阻影响较小.当苯酚浓度较低时(50~100 mg·L~(-1)),对ANAMMOX-MFC脱氮产电性能影响较低;当苯酚浓度超过200 mg·L~(-1)时,ANAMMOX-MFC脱氮产电性能逐渐被抑制.整个过程进出水COD浓度变化不大,极化曲线拟合程度较低,表观内阻有缓慢升高.

Monitoring impact of mefenacet treatment on soil microbial communities by PCR-DGGE fingerprinting and conventional testing procedures

The effect of acetanilide herbicide mefenacet on soil microbial communities was studied using paddy soil samples with different short-term treatments. The culturable bacteria （plate counts）, dehydrogenase activity and changes in community structure （denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） analysis） were used for biological community assessments. Mefenacet was a significant stimulus to cultural aerobic bacteria and dehydrogenase activity while Sphingobacterium multivorum Y1, a bacterium efficiently degrading the mefenacet, only induced the increasing colony-forming unit （CFU） of bacteria but little effect on dehydrogenase activity during the whole experiment. The degree of similarity between the 16S rDNA profiles of the communities was quantified by numerically analyzing the DGGE band patterns. Similarity dendrograms showed that the microbial community structures of the mefenacet-treated and non-treated soils were not significantly different. But supplement of S. multivorum Y1 could increase the diversity of the microbial community in the mefenacet-polluted paddy soil. This work is a new attempt to apply the S. multivorum Y1 for remediation of the mefenacet-polluted environments.     

Remediation of Ni2+-contaminated water using iron powder and steel manufacturing byproducts

Steel manufacturing byproducts and commercial iron powders were tested in the treatment of Ni^2＋-contaminated water. Ni^2＋ is a priority pollutant of some soils and groundwater. The use of zero-valent iron, which can reduce Ni^2＋ to its neural form appears to be an alternative approach for the remediation of Ni^2＋-contaminated sites. Our experimental data show that the removal efficiencies of Ni^2＋ were 95.15% and 94.68% at a metal to solution ratio of 20 g/L for commercial iron powders and the steel manufacturing byproducts in 60 min at room temperature, respectively. The removal efficiency reached 98.20% when the metal to solution ratio was 40 g/L for commercial iron powders. Furthermore, we found that the removal efficiency was also largely affected by other factors such as the pHs of the treated water, the length of time for the metal to be in contact with the Ni^2＋-contaminated water, initial concentrations of metal solutions, particle sizes and the amount of iron powders. Surprisingly, the reaction temperature appeared to have little effect on the removal efficiency. Our study opens the way to further optimize the reaction conditions of in situ remediation of Ni^2＋ or other heavy metals on contaminated sites.
