石灰投加与搅拌对生态厕所的灭菌效果

以发展中国家农村地区的卫生条件改善为目的,开展了简易生态厕所的粪便堆肥处理实验。在投加石灰作为抑菌剂的条件下,研究了搅拌混合对杀灭致病微生物的影响,以及使堆肥终产物达到可接受风险值所需的最佳搅拌条件。实验确定了石灰的投加量,并应用Beta-Possion模型对堆肥处置过程中致病微生物对暴露人群的健康风险进行评价,从而从健康风险控制的角度确定了最佳的搅拌次数。研究结果表明,石灰投加量约占堆肥干重1.5%,手动搅拌50次,经搅拌后放置12 h能达到可接受的风险值(3.2×10-5)。

为了探索通用引物PCR方法在地表水病原细菌检测中的应用价值,利用16S rRNA基因的高度保守性,设计并合成细菌的通用引物,采用合成的引物扩增参考菌株及西安市区不同地表水样,并对PCR产物分别进行序列测定及序列同源性分析,同时检测水样中的细菌总数和粪大肠杆菌浓度.结果显示,通用引物扩增4种参考菌株,320 bp处均可得到清晰的电泳条带,其特异性通过序列测定及同源性分析得到进一步验证;通用引物PCR可检出250 ng/L的埃希氏大肠杆菌标准菌株DNA,其PCR检测的灵敏度可达0.275 CFU/mL;用通用引物对西安市区不同地表水样进行PCR扩增,其中■河、兴庆湖、大唐芙蓉园北湖、北石桥污水处理厂出水样品320 bp处都得到了清晰的电泳条带,而黑河水样没有条带;与之相对应的粪大肠杆菌群检测结果显示,只有北石桥污水处理厂出水和兴庆湖水样有粪大肠杆菌检出.      

纳米零价铁在水处理中的应用研究综述

纳米零价铁(nZVI)作为最常用的纳米颗粒之一,在去除环境水体中的污染物方面开展了大量的研究.本篇综述通过系统全面地总结nZVI的相关进展,介绍nZVI的各个方面进而指导其发展方向.其中,研究内容主要包括制备方法、改性方式、去除不同水中污染物的作用机理和催化机理、在场地研究中的应用以及毒性作用机制.本文发现,纳米零价铁仍存在缺少综合评价方法、应用受限、各项研究不同步等问题.nZVI未来的发展,应具备考虑反应性、稳定性、迁移性、毒性的评价方法,避免同一改性材料在不同研究方向的时间差异性,让nZVI的应用更好地适用实地研究.     

Microbial safety control of compost material with cow dung by heat treatment

Various kinds of pathogenic bacteria derived from the intestinal tract of animals exist in compost material like cow dung.In order to sterilize the pathogenic bacteria completely in compost material,the cow dung was put into a heat treatment machine in pilot plan, and harmless condition in short time was examined.The results indicated,pathogenic indicator bacteria such as coliform bacteria, fecal coliform,Escherichia coli and salmonella were all 10~6 cfu/g dw at the beginning,died rapidly when cow dung temperature rose to above 50℃,and not detected at 54-68℃for 6-24 h heat treatment.Coliform bacteria and salmonella in heated cow dung were not detected by re-growth culture and enrichment culture examination.Moreover,it was hardly influenced on the fermentation ability of composting microbe,organic decomposition bacteria.During heat treatment,the mesophile decreased rapidly and the thermophile stabilized or increased,and the most of composting microbe were bacillus in cow dung by fluorescence microscope,this indicated that bacillus was dominator and composting microbe in composting process.     

Effective removal of antibiotic resistance genes and potential links with archaeal communities during vacuum-type composting and positive-pressure composting

As a major reservoir of antibiotics, animal manure contributes a lot to the augmented environmental pressure of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This might be the first study to explore the effects of different ventilation types on the control of ARGs and to identify the relationships between archaeal communities and ARGs during the composting of dairy manure. Several ARGs were quantified via Real-time qPCR and microbial communities including bacteria and archaea were analyzed by High-throughput sequencing during vacuum-type composting (VTC) and positive-pressure composting (PPC). The total detected ARGs and class I integrase gene (intI1) under VTC were significantly lower than that under PPC during each stage of the composting (p < 0.001). The relative abundance of potential human pathogenic bacteria (HPB) which were identified based on sequencing information and correlation analysis decreased by 74.6% and 91.4% at the end of PPC and VTC, respectively. The composition of archaeal communities indicated that methane-producing archaea including Methanobrevibacter, Methanocorpusculum and Methanosphaera were dominant throughout the composting. Redundancy analysis suggested that Methanobrevibacter and Methanocorpusculum were positively correlated with all of the detected ARGs. Network analysis determined that the possible hosts of ARGs were different under VTC and PPC, and provided new sights about potential links between archaea and ARGs. Our results showed better performance of VTC in reducing ARGs and potential HPB and demonstrated that some archaea could also be influential hosts of ARGs, and caution the risks of archaea carrying ARGs.     

环丙沙星胁迫猪粪生物转化中抗性基因微生物响应分析

抗性基因（Antibiotic Resistance Genes,ARGs）是一种新兴污染物,持续累积会引发环境健康风险,也可通过水平转移诱导耐药细菌产生,从而危害人类健康与国家生物安全.当前关于ARGs的研究多集中于水、土壤、大气等环境介质,固体废弃物领域ARGs研究尚局限于其丰度变化与影响因素方面,对抗生素-ARGs剂量-效应关系、导致ARGs丰度变化的微生物响应机制仍有待深入研究.基于此,开展了不同浓度水平环丙沙星（Ciprofloxacin,CIP）胁迫下猪粪堆肥试验,环丙沙星添加量分别为25 mg/kg（A25）、50 mg/kg（A50）、100 mg/kg（A100）,同时设置空白对照0 mg/kg（CK）.采用分子生物学手段、网络分析、统计学分析等方法,解析了不同浓度环丙沙星胁迫猪粪好氧堆肥过程中喹诺酮类ARGs丰度变化的微生物响应关系,并重点探讨了潜在宿主菌中致病菌的分布及其与ARGs的相关性.结果表明:①经堆肥处理,CK、A25和A100堆体中喹诺酮类ARGs总丰度均受到不同程度削减,A50堆体中ARGs总丰度未被削减（升高2.73倍）.而高温期除CK外,3个处理组中ARGs丰度均显著降低（P < 0.05）,表明堆肥高温期或是削减ARGs的关键阶段.②狭义梭菌属（Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1）、水微菌属（Aquamicrobium）、乳杆菌属（Lactobacillus）及交替赤杆菌属（Altererythrobacter）既是堆肥环境中优势菌属,也是喹诺酮类ARGs潜在宿主微生物,主要分布在厚壁菌门（Firmicutes）和变形菌门（Proteobacteria）.③丰度较高的致病菌Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1和链球菌（Streptococcus）是喹诺酮类ARGs的潜在宿主菌,且至堆肥腐熟期,仍有部分致病菌均未被完全去除,可见猪粪堆肥过程中存在ARGs向致病菌转移的环境健康风险.研究显示,加强高温期干预调控,是有效阻控ARGs环境污染行为的关键节点,研究可为固废资源化过程中ARGs环境健康风险防控提供参考.      

变形虫Naegleria sp.TH8的分离鉴定及食藻特性

从太湖水样品中筛选分离到一株能吞噬水华鱼腥藻的原生动物TH8,经形态学及ITS rRNA序列分析鉴定为纳氏属变形虫(Naegleria sp.).显微观察显示变形虫TH8呈蛞蝓状,用透明半球形单伪足爆破前进,有运动滋养体、包囊和鞭毛体3个形态.变形虫TH8能在10~30℃生长并具有食藻活性,但在37℃或灭菌后的水华鱼腥藻中均不能生长.在新鲜水华鱼腥藻中25℃下指数期生长速率达到1.68 cell d-1.食藻特性研究表明,该变形虫在水华鱼腥藻生长的对数初期、对数后期和稳定期的吞食效果优于对数中期.水华鱼腥藻Chl a下降程度与变形虫初始浓度有关.     

典型城市河流中嗅味物质和微生物菌落特征

对某城市河流沿程水质、典型嗅味物质以及微生物群落结构进行了调查分析. 结果表明:河水中2种嗅味物质〔二甲基异莰醇(2-MIB)和土臭素(Geosmin)〕的质量浓度均受到ρ(DO)的显著影响. 绝对厌氧条件〔ρ(DO)<0.2 mg/L〕水体中,ρ(二甲基异莰醇)和ρ(土臭素)的平均值分别为794.8和269.8 ng/L;好氧条件〔ρ(DO)>2.0 mg/L〕水体中,二者的平均值分别为91.6 和104.7 ng/L;而且ρ(DO)较低时,水体中的可疑致病菌含量升高,微生物安全性降低. 控制该河流水体ρ(DO)在2.0 mg/L以上,有利于抑制水体中嗅味物质的产生,可提高河流水体的微生物安全性.      

螺旋霉素废水处理过程中菌群结构、水质特征及抗性基因之间关系分析

抗生素制药废水常含有大量抗生素抗性基因（antibiotic resistance genes,ARG）,传播抗性污染的风险高于城市污水,但目前人们对抗生素制药废水处理过程中ARG转归影响机制研究尚有不足.本研究采用高通量测序考察某螺旋霉素制药废水厂A²O工艺过程中菌群结构变化,并通过多种统计学分析方法考察菌群结构、水质特征及ARG之间的相互关系.结果表明,生物处理单元中污泥的菌群结构受进水水质影响较小,其中厌氧和缺氧池中均以产甲烷菌与硫酸盐还原菌为优势菌,好氧池和二沉池中优势菌群的功能较为复杂;A²O系统对常规污染物去除效果较好,但不能稳定削减潜在致病菌丰度.水质特征、菌群结构和ARG之间存在显著相互影响关系,其中废水处理过程中生物量、NH₄⁺-N和化学需氧量（chemical oxygen demand,COD）与ARG和可移动遗传元件（mobile genetic elements,MGE）的分布密切相关.在水相和泥相中对ARG和MGE产生显著影响的菌属不同,而且泥相中有更多的潜在致病菌与ARG显著相关性,即污泥中微生物同时获得耐药性和致病性的可能性比水相中高.本研究可为今后抗生素制药废水处理过程的抗性污染控制提供科学参考.     

RESPONSES OF BACTERIA TO THE PRESENCE OF CARBARYL IN WATER. II. PURE CULTURE VS. MIXED CULTURE RESPONSE1

ABSTRACT: Escherichia coli. Streptococcus faecalis, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus were tested in pure culture and in various combined mixed cultures to determine effects of the presence of carbaryl in water. Oxygen uptake of E. coli and S. typhimirium was stimulated by five mg/L carbaryl when mixed together, but no stimulation was observed when either organism was tested alone or with other bacteria. In mixed culture the survival time of S. faecalis was reduced in the presence of five mg/L carbaryl; however, the survival time of both S. aureus and S. typhimurium was increased in the presence of five mg/L carbaryl. Implications of these results are discussed.
