不同种植方式对亚热带红壤微生物多样性的影响

土壤微生物在推动土壤碳循环过程方面发挥着重要作用,然而种植方式的改变对土壤微生物多样性的影响机制还不十分清楚.本研究采集湖南省盘塘县长期定位试验站红壤稻田(PR)、旱地(UC)及水旱轮作(PR)这3种不同种植方式的土壤样品,采用末端限制性酶切片段长度多态性分析(T-RFLP)技术和实时荧光定量(RT-PCR)技术分析了土壤细菌16S rRNA基因的多样性和丰度,研究种植方式改变对土壤微生物数量、群落结构及其多样性的影响.结果表明,3种种植方式的土壤细菌16S rRNA基因数量(以干土计)为2.5×109~1.5×1010拷贝·g-1,与PR相比,UP和UC处理16S rRNA基因丰度显著下降(P0.05).同时,3种种植方式下土壤细菌的优势类群为变形菌(76、90和327 bp;相对丰度47%~53%)和绿弯菌(65 bp;相对丰度10%~12%).冗余分析表明种植方式改变了土壤理化性质,导致土壤细菌群落结构特征的显著变化,而土壤理化性质中有机碳和全氮含量是影响土壤细菌群落结构的主要因子.多样性指数分析(香农指数和均匀度指数)显示种植水稻的土壤细菌多样性最高,显著高于水旱轮作和旱地土壤.可见,种植方式的改变对土壤群落组成和数量造成了深刻的影响,而水稻种植是亚热带红壤可持续利用的一种有效方式,其更有利于土壤有机质的累积,土壤肥力及微生物多样性均较高.     

反硝化细菌强化潜流湿地的污水处理厂尾水脱氮试验

为了揭示反硝化菌强化潜流湿地的污水处理厂尾水脱氮效果及机理,以砾石、红砖碎块、钢渣、陶粒、土壤为湿地填料,茭白、梭鱼草、黑麦草、红叶石楠为湿地植物,构建了两套湿地系统,其中一套投加菌剂,另一套作为对照组,使用双总体t检验方法分析了投加反硝化细菌B8(Pseudomonas putida)菌液于水平潜流湿地系统的操作与生物强化湿地脱氮程度之间的相互关系。结果表明,将反硝化菌(B8)菌液连续14 d投加于水平潜流湿地后,在强化潜流湿地运行的58 d内,其NH_4~+-N、NO_2~--N和TN平均去除率分别为65.3%、94.2%和71.5%;而未投菌的潜流湿地的NH_4~+-N、NO_2~--N和TN平均去除率分别为28.2%、74.7%和43.1%,加入菌剂使潜流湿地氮素去除能力大幅提高。双总体t检验方法分析表明,在停止投菌运行的41 d内,接种B8细菌的湿地系统的总氮去除率显著高于未投菌的湿地系统(p0.05);但在停止投菌运行的58 d内,投菌湿地和未投菌湿地脱氮效果的差异不显著(p0.05),因此确定B8强化水平潜流湿地系统的投菌周期为58 d。

The addition of microbes for treating textile wastewater

Some strains and culture of bacteria which are able to decolorize dyes and degrade polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) were isolated and selected. A pilot scale facultative anaerobic-aerobic biological process was applied for treatment of textile wastewater containing dyes and PVA. Activated carbon adsorption was used as a tertiary treatment stage, and residual sludge from clarifier returned to the anaerobic reactor again. The pilot test were carried out with two systems. One was inoculated by acclimated sludge, and the another was adding the mixed culture of dye-decoloring and PVA-degrading bacteria for forming biological films, the latter was observed to be more effective than the former. The test has run normally for ten months with a COD loading of 2.13 kg/m3/day, a BOD5 loading of 0.34 kg/m3/day in anaerobic reactor; a COD loading of 1.71 kg/m3/day, a BOD5 loading 0.44 kg/m3/day in aerobic reactor. The pollutants removal efficiency by adding microbes was about 20% higher than that by acclimated sludge. The aver     

CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Mitigation and Renewable Oil from Photosynthetic Microbes: A New Appraisal

The only major strategy now being seriously considered for biological mitigation of atmospheric CO₂ relies entirely on terrestrial plants. Photosynthetic microbes were the focus of similar consideration in the 1990s. However, two major government-sponsored research programs in Japan and the USA concluded that the requisite technology was not feasible, and those programs were terminated after investing US$117 million and US$25 million, respectively. We report here on the results of a privately funded US$20 million program that has engineered, built, and successfully operated a commercial-scale (2 ha), modular, production system for photosynthetic microbes. The production system couples photobioreactors with open ponds in a two-stage process – a combination that was suggested, but never attempted – and has operated continuously for several years to produce Haematococcus pluvialis. The annually averaged rate of achieved microbial oil production from H. pluvialis is equivalent to <420 GJ ha ^-1 yr^-1, which exceeds the most optimistic estimates of biofuel production from plantations of terrestrial ``energy crops.' The maximum production rate achieved to date is equivalent to 1014 GJ ha^-1 yr^-1. We present evidence to demonstrate that a rate of 3200 GJ ha^-1 yr^-1 is feasible using species with known performance characteristics under conditions that prevail in the existing production system. At this rate, it is possible to replace reliance on current fossil fuel usage equivalent to ∼300 EJ yr^-1 – and eliminate fossil fuel emissions of CO₂ of ∼6.5 GtC yr^-1 – using only 7.3% of the surplus arable land projected to be available by 2050. By comparison, most projections of biofuels production from terrestrial energy crops would require in excess of 80% of surplus arable land. Oil production cost is estimated at $84/bbl, assuming no improvements in current technology. We suggest enhancements that could reduce cost to $50/bbl or less.     

Microbe-mediated sustainable bio-recovery of gold from low-grade precious solid waste: A microbiological overview

In an era of electronics, recovering the precious metal such as gold from ever increasing piles of electronic-wastes and metal-ion infested soil has become one of the prime concerns for researchers worldwide. Biological mining is an attractive, economical and non-hazardous to recover gold from the low-grade auriferous ore containing waste or soil. This review represents the recent major biological gold retrieval methods used to bio-mine gold. The biomining methods discussed in this review include, bioleaching, bio-oxidation, bio-precipitation, bio-flotation, bio-flocculation, bio-sorption, bio-reduction, bio-electrometallurgical technologies and bioaccumulation. The mechanism of gold biorecovery by microbes is explained in detail to explore its intracellular mechanistic, which help it withstand high concentrations of gold without causing any fatal consequences. Major challenges and future opportunities associated with each method and how they will dictate the fate of gold bio-metallurgy from metal wastes or metal infested soil bioremediation in the coming future are also discussed. With the help of concurrent advancements in high-throughput technologies, the gold bio-exploratory methods will speed up our ways to ensure maximum gold retrieval out of such low-grade ores containing sources, while keeping the gold mining clean and more sustainable.

垂直流人工湿地有机质含量分布特征

利用3种复合基质(沸石+泥炭+红壤、河砂+泥炭+红壤、蛭石+泥炭+红壤,体积比均为18∶1∶1)构建模拟垂直流人工湿地处理人工合成污水,分析基质灭菌与接种污水等情况下,不同基质层w(OM)(OM为有机质)的分布特征. 结果表明:3种复合基质初始w(OM)依次为1.011、6.654和15.896 g/kg,存在显著差异(P<0.01). 复合基质2经灭菌后w(OM)下降26.77%,说明河砂微生物活性最高. 基质灭菌和接种3%污水对湿地w(OM)分布的影响均比较显著(P<0.05),主要是改变了表层的w(OM). 湿地运行45 d后,w(OM)沿基质深度增加明显,并且分布差异显著(P<0.01),OM主要分布于表层;其中复合基质3不灭菌+不接种污水湿地表层的w(OM)高达42.008 g/kg,运行90 d后增至44.228 g/kg,说明蛭石的吸附作用最强. 吸附和微生物作用对复合基质3湿地表层OM积累的贡献大小表现为吸附作用>基质微生物作用>接种污水微生物作用.
