不同组成活性污泥胞外聚合物吸附Cd2+、Zn2+特征

以蛋白质和糖含量比分别为2.5∶1、7∶1和9∶1的3种活性污泥胞外聚合物(extracellular polymeric substances, EPS)EPS1、EPS2、EPS3作为吸附剂,研究其对水中Cd²⁺、Zn²⁺的吸附效能.结果表明,EPS对Cd²⁺和Zn²⁺的吸附与其组成有关,EPS1、EPS2和EPS3对Cd²⁺和Zn²⁺吸附量分别约为19.5、　27、　17　mg/g和40.5、 47.5、 37　mg/g. 3种胞外聚合物对Cd²⁺、Zn²⁺吸附过程可在1 h内快速平衡.动力学拟合结果表明,EPS1对2种重金属的吸附速率最快,而EPS2对Cd²⁺、Zn²⁺的平衡吸附容量最高.Freundlich和Langmuir方程均可描述3种EPS对Cd²⁺、Zn²⁺的吸附过程,方程参数拟合结果表明2种金属同EPS之间存在多种作用方式.3种EPS的吸附热力学方程拟合系数均表明EPS对Zn²⁺的吸附稳定性、吸附能力和亲和力均比对Cd²⁺的吸附强;当EPS中糖所占比例增加时,其对重金属的吸附能力也提高,表明糖在吸附过程中起着重要作用.     

基于膜特征参数变化的蛋白质超滤过程膜污染研究

为进一步研究多种蛋白质体系超滤过程的膜污染机制,采用切割相对分子质量为50×103的聚醚砜(polyethersulfone,PES)超滤膜,对溶菌酶(lysozyme,LYS)、牛血清蛋白(bovine serum albumin,BSA)、LYS+BSA等3种不同蛋白质溶液的超滤过程进行了研究.运用接触角仪、场发射扫描电镜(field emission scanning electron microscope,FESEM)、原子力显微镜(atomic force microscope,AFM)测定了不同污染阶段膜特征参数的变化.结果表明,超滤膜通量变化明显呈现3个阶段:初期(约0~5min)衰减迅速、中期(约5~60 min)衰减缓慢、后期(约60~120 min)趋于稳定;整个超滤过程中,LYS污染膜的通量衰减幅度最大,LYS+BSA次之,BSA最小.膜特征参数变化表明:LYS对膜的初期污染主要以膜孔窄化为主,中期污染由膜孔堵塞和膜孔窄化共同控制;BSA初期膜污染以膜孔堵塞为主,中期污染以膜孔窄化为主;滤饼层过滤是BSA、LYS后期膜污染的主要机制.LYS+BSA二元混合溶液中的LYS对膜污染的产生起主导作用.     

固体发酵提高水生植物发酵产物蛋白含量的研究

采用微生物固体发酵技术对伊乐藻(Elodea nuttalli)、苦草(Vallinmeria spiralis)和喜旱莲子草(Alterranthera philoxerides)3种高等水生植物进行单细胞蛋白生产的研究,分析单一菌种和混合菌种发酵过程中水生植物粗蛋白含量和纤维素酶活的变化过程.研究结果表明,与单一霉菌发酵相比,利用霉菌与酵母混合发酵,可明显提高发酵产物粗蛋白产量,其中以黑曲霉(Aspergillus niger)与产朊假丝酵母(Candida utilis)混合发酵苦草的粗蛋白含量最高,产物中粗蛋白含量最高可达39.88%,粗蛋白增加率为84.2%,使其有可能成为鱼、家禽和家畜的蛋白饲料来源.因此,利用固体发酵处理水生植物可以实现水生植物的资源化.     

玉米内生固氮菌的回接分离及限菌条件下在玉米根内的定殖

对从玉米茎内分离的18株固氮菌进行了回接分离试验,经多碳源无氮培养基、菌落形态、颜色与REP－PCR相结合的方法,筛选、鉴定出了两株具有较高乙炔还原活性和能在玉米体内定殖的菌株R1和R6。把携带gfp标记基因的质粒pKK223-GFP和nifH-gfp的质粒pMGFP2.1分别转化R1和R6,得到携带gfp,且菌落带绿色荧光的转化子R1A和R6A,以及携带nifH-gfp的转化子R1B和R6B。在限菌条件下对R1A和R6A,在玉米根内的定殖以及R1B和R6B中nifH-gfp融合基因的表达进行了研究,结果表明了R1A和R6A主要定殖在根的皮层细胞、胞间隙、中柱细胞和导管内,有时在活的细胞内也可检测到,R1B和R6B中的融合基因因受玉米根内营养以及其它与固氮酶基因表达相关因素的限制,很难在玉米根内表达,只有在添加了1‰蔗糖后,nifH-gfp才能在根内表达。     

Effect of coumaphos on cholinesterase activity,hematology, and biochemical blood parameters of bovines in tropical regions of Mexico

To assess the effect of coumaphos [O-(3-chloro-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-7-yl) O,O-diethyl phosphorothioate] exposure on physiological responses during bovine production, acetylcolinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activities were measured in whole blood, erythrocytes, and plasma of healthy male steers (Bos Taurus x Bos indicus) sprayed with coumaphos at a non-lethal dose of 1 mg kg^{? 1} body weight per day once every 14 (in vivo group) or 21 days (southern and central groups). Coumaphos topically administered at 1 mg/kg body weight per day to cattle under normal management practices in tropical areas produced a significant inhibition in erythrocyte (RBC) AChE and BuAChE activities when compared to baseline levels. RBC-AChE activity for the in vivo group decreased 71.3% (P < 0.05) and BuChE activity 59.1% (P < 0.05); RBC-AChE activity decreased 55.1% (P < 0.05) (southern group) and 43.4% (P < 0.05) (central group). Compared to the control specimens, steers from in vivo, southern, and central groups after 150 days of exposure had lower (P < 0.05) leukocyte count, absolute lymphocyte, erythrocyte, and platelet counts. Decreases in RBC-AChE activities correlated with decreased lymphocyte (r = 1.000, p = 0.01), erythrocyte (r = 1.000, p = 0.003), and platelet counts (r = 0.841, p = 0.036). Significantly increased BUN levels (P < 0.05) correlated with the decrease in RBC-AChE activities (r = ? 0.997, p = 0.047) and with the decrease in absolute red blood cell (r = ? 0.883, p = 0.020) and lymphocyte (r = ? 0.825, p = 0.043) counts; increased (P < 0.05) total plasma protein levels correlated with the decrease in RBC-AChE activities (r = ?0.998, p = 0.043), absolute red blood cell (r = ? 0.998, p = 0.040), lymphocyte (r = ? 0.893, p = 0.017), and platelet (r = -0.855, p = 0.030) counts. The physiological responses correlated with the erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase inhibition could be considered as early indicators or warning responses of bovine exposures to organophosphorus pesticides (OPs).     

超滤法预处理L-乳酸发酵液

以白酒酒糟乳酸发酵液为研究对象,采用截留分子量为100 kDa的中空纤维超滤膜（聚偏氟乙烯PVDF膜）去除其中的蛋白质等杂质,为后续电渗析分离提纯L-乳酸提供合格的料液。研究表明,操作压力、温度、pH值和进料速度对蛋白质截留率、乳酸回收率和发酵液的膜通量均有影响;乳酸回收率与蛋白质截留率基本呈负相关关系,是因为被截留的蛋白质等在膜面形成滤饼层,有吸附并截留乳酸的作用。通过单因素实验,确定了在操作压力为20 kPa,温度为27℃,pH为3.9,进料速度为280 mL/min的情况下处理效果最好,蛋白质截留率可达到98.01%,乳酸回收率可达到97.78%,发酵液的膜通量为7.26 L/（m2·h）。

Nutrient depletion is the main limiting factor in the crude oil bioaugmentation process

The biodegradation was considered as the prime mechanism of crude oil degradation. To validate the efficacy and survival of the crude oil-degrading strain in a bioremediation process, the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene (egfp) was introduced into Acinetobacter sp. HC8–3S. In this study, an oil-contaminated sediment microcosm was conducted to investigate the temporal dynamics of the physicochemical characterization and microbial community in response to bacterium amendment. The introduced strains were able to survive, flourish and degrade crude oil quickly in the early stage of the bioremediation. However, the high abundance cannot be maintained due to the ammonium (NH₄⁺-N) and phosphorus (PO₄^3?-P) contents decreased rapidly after 15 days of remediation. The sediment microbial community changed considerably and reached relatively stable after nutrient depletion. Therefore, the addition of crude oil and degrading cells did not show a long-time impact on the original microbial communities, and sufficient nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients ensures the survive and activity of degrader. Our studies expand the understanding of the crude oil degradative processes, which will help to develop more rational bioremediation strategies.     

GO通过氧化损伤激活秀丽线虫未折叠蛋白反应

以秀丽线虫为受试生物,探讨氧化石墨烯(GO)对秀丽线虫未折叠蛋白应答的激活及其与氧化应激的关系。将L4幼虫暴露于GO中24 h,通过检测活性氧(ROS)水平、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)等指标评估GO对秀丽线虫所致氧化损伤;以hsp-4和hsp-6分别作为秀丽线虫内质网和线粒体未折叠蛋白反应(UPR)的报告基因评价GO对秀丽线虫UPR应答的激活;同时以谷胱甘肽(GSH)作为抗氧化剂探讨GO所致UPR应答与氧化应激的关系。研究结果显示,GO暴露后秀丽线虫体内ROS、LDH和MDA水平升高,抗氧化酶活性上升;内质网和线粒体UPR反应增强,GSH预处理可以降低内质网和线粒体UPR应答。研究表明,GO短期暴露可以诱导秀丽线虫机体氧化应激进而激活UPR应答,抗氧化保护可以降低UPR应答反应。     

盐酸胍诱导的apo-CP43去折叠过程

膜蛋白生物合成与色素组装中蛋白的稳定性可以通过去折叠条件与过程分析得到.利用色氨酸荧光光谱和ANS荧光光谱研究了apo-CP43在盐酸胍条件下的稳定性.色氨酸荧光光谱观测到apo-CP43在盐酸胍作用下去折叠进程的主要特征:荧光强度先是逐渐降低,之后再逐渐升高,而最大荧光发射峰位置则一直持续红移.盐酸胍处理后apo-CP43的F360 nm/F335 nm比值逐渐增大,表明荧光最大发射峰逐步红移.当盐酸胍浓度约为5.5 mol/L时,去折叠比例趋于相对稳定状态,说明此时apo-CP43已经基本完成去折叠.荧光相图法结果显示盐酸胍诱导apo-CP43变性的过程符合三态模型.ANS荧光测定数据显示盐酸胍处理之后最大ANS荧光发射峰位置红移,并且荧光强度逐渐降低.以上数据表明在盐酸胍条件下apo-CP43是一个相对比较稳定的蛋白.
