Expression of sulfur uptake assimilation-related genes in response to cadmium, bensulfuron-methyl and their co-contamination in rice roots

The responses of sulfur （S） uptake assimilation-related genes＇ expression in roots of two rice cultivars to cadmium （Cd）, bensulfuron-methyl （BSM） and their co-contamination （Cd＋BSM） were investigated by gene-chip microarray analysis and quantitative real-time PCR （QRT-PCR） technology. Treatments of Cd and Cd＋BSM induced expression of sulfate transporter and permease genes, and promoted sulfate uptake in rice roots. Cd＋BSM could alleviate Cd toxicity to cv. Fengmeizhan seedlings, probably due to Cd＋BSM promoting greater S absorption by seedlings. Cd and Cd＋BSM induced expression of sulfate assimilation-related genes, and thus activated the sulfur assimilation pathway. Cd and Cd＋BSM induced expression of phytochelatin synthase and metallothionein genes, and induced expression of glutathione S-transferases （GSTs）, glutathione synthase （GS） and S- containing antioxidation enzyme genes, which detoxified Cd2＋. It is suggested that （to cope with the toxicity of Cd, BSM and their co-contamination） the S uptake and assimilation pathway was activated in rice roots by increased expression of related genes, thus enhancing the supply of organic S for synthesis of Cd or BSM resistance-related substances.     

Arsenic removal from groundwater by acclimated sludge under autohydrogenotrophic conditions

Arsenic in the environment is attracting increasing attention due to its chronic health effects. Although arsenite(As(III)) is generally more mobile and more toxic than arsenate(As(V)), reducing As(V) to As(III) may still be a means for decontamination, because As(III) can be removed from solution by precipitation with sulfide or by adsorption or complexation with other metal sulfides. The performance of As(V) bio-reduction under autohydrogenotrophic conditions was investigated with batch experiments. The results showed that As(V) reduction was a biochemical process while both acclimated sludge and hydrogen were essential. Most of the reduced arsenic remained in a soluble form, although 20% was removed with no addition of sulfate, while 82% was removed when sulfate was reduced to sulfide. The results demonstrated that the reduced arsenic was re-sequestered in the precipitates, probably as arsenic sulfides. Kinetic analysis showed that pseudo first-order kinetics described the bio-reduction process better than pseudo second-order. In particular, the influences of pH and temperature on As(V) reduction by acclimated sludge under autohydrogenotrophic conditions and total soluble As removal were examined. The reduction process was highly sensitive to both pH and temperature, with the optimum ranges of pH 6.5–7.0 and 30–40°C respectively. Furthermore, Arrhenius modeling results for the temperature effect indicated that the As(V) reduction trend was systematic. Total soluble As removal was consistent with the trend of As(V) reduction.     

重庆市主城区大气细颗粒物污染特征与来源解析

重庆市主城区大气细颗粒物(PM_(2.5))浓度从1990s的100μg·m~(-3)下降至当前的约70μg·m~(-3),但仍高于环境标准限值.为探讨重庆市主城区PM_(2.5)化学组成与来源特征,于2012—2013年在渝北区大气超级站利用四通道采样仪连续采集了颗粒物样品,分析了其中水溶性离子、碳质组分和无机元素含量.采样期间,重庆市主城区大气PM_(10)和PM_(2.5)的年日均浓度分别为103.9和75.3μg·m~(-3),扩散条件不利的冬季,细颗粒物污染较为严重.受静稳天气影响的1月和2月,受沙尘影响的3月,及二次转化显著的6月是重庆市细颗粒物污染较重的月份.重庆市PM_(2.5)组成以有机物(OM,30.8%)为主,其次为硫酸盐(SO_4~(2-),23.0%)、硝酸盐(NO_3~-,11.7%)、铵盐(NH_4~+,10.9%)、地壳物质(Soil,8.2%)、元素碳(EC,5.2%)、K~+(1.1%)、Cl~-(1.0%)和微量元素(Trace,0.6%).较高的SO_4~(2-)浓度和逐步上升的[NO_3~-]/[SO_4~(2-)]比值反映了重庆市燃煤污染较重,同时机动车污染比例逐步增加.采用主因子分析/绝对主因子得分法解析了重庆城区细颗粒物5类主要来源是:二次粒子(41.7%)、燃煤(15.6%)、建筑/道路尘(12.4%)、土壤尘(11.0%)和工业尘(10.4%),通过各污染源季节变化及与其他结果对比,该源解析结果能够较可靠反映重庆市细颗粒物的来源信息.
