Attached cultivation of Scenedesmus sp. LX1 on selected solids and the effect of surface properties on attachment

Attachment of Scenedesmus sp. LX1 was tested on certain materials. A criterion for selection of materials was used to choose seven materials. The amount of S. sp. LX1 attached on polyurethane foam was 51.74 mg/L. Materials’ surface influenced the attachment of microalgae. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties also affected the attachment of S. sp. LX1. Attached cultivation systems in the literature do not present a methodology to screen materials for microalgal growth. Hence, a method is needed to find suitable materials for attached cultivation that may enhance attachment of microalgae. In this paper, we have tested seven materials culturing Scenedesmus sp. LX1 (S. sp. LX1) to evaluate the attachment of microalgae on the material surface, its growth in suspension phase and the properties of the materials. Two materials showed attachment of S. sp. LX1, polyurethane foam and loofah sponge, and allowed microalgae to grow both in the surface of the material and suspended phase. Polyurethane foam proved to be a good material for attachment of S. sp. LX1 and the amount of attached microalgae obtained was 51.73 mg/L when adding 100 pieces/L. SEM images showed that the surface and the pore size of the materials affected the attachment of the microalgae, increasing its attachment in scaffold-like materials. Furthermore, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the materials also affected the attachment of microalgae. This research can be used as a methodology to search for the assessment of a material suitable for attachment of microalgae.     

菲胁迫下湿生植物美人蕉(Canna indica)对斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)生长的影响

多环芳烃有机污染物的环境问题日益严重,亟待需求从群落及生态系统的角度进行毒理学复合危害效应的研究。本文采用以美人蕉(Canna indica)种植根区水培养斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)的方式,观察菲胁迫下其生长的变化。结果表明,美人蕉种植根区水对斜生栅藻生长具有化感效应,且表现为"低促高抑"的现象。而在菲胁迫下,种植根区水比例为15%和30%时随着菲浓度的增加,生长促进作用增强,且在菲浓度为1 mg·L-1出现最高值;在100%种植根区水时随着菲浓度的增加生长抑制作用增强。说明,菲胁迫使美人蕉种植根区水对藻类的化感效应增强。进行逻辑斯谛生长拟合发现,30%、1 mg·L-1处理组种群内禀增长率最高,斜生栅藻种群出现暴发增长的生态风险最大。     

硝基芳烃类对斜生栅列藻的毒性及中毒症状

藻类实验是水生态毒理学研究中的主要方法。通过ＯＥＣＤ标准藻类阻碍生长实验,得到２５种典型硝基芳烃化合物对斜生栅列藻的４８ｈ半数有效抑制浓度ＥＣ５０值。其毒性由高到低的顺序为：二硝基氯苯〉二硝基苯〉二硝基苯胺〉二氯硝基苯＝二硝基甲苯〉硝基溴苯＝硝基氯苯〉硝基甲苯＝硝基苯甲醚＝硝基苯酚〉硝基苯胺〉硝基苯。同时在光学显微下详细观察到斜生栅列藻的中毒症状：①似亲孢子释放受阻;②质壁分离;③细胞核和细胞器解     

全氟辛酸对斜生栅藻细胞膜特性影响研究(Effect of Perfluorooctane Acid on Cell Membrane Properties of Scenedesmus obliquus)

斜生栅藻暴露于全氟辛酸(PFOA)中,其细胞膜特性可通过不同荧光染料染色的荧光信号变化来反映.应用流式细胞仪检测荧光信号,研究了PFOA对斜生栅藻细胞膜的完整性、选择透过性和膜电位指标的影响效应.实验结果显示,全氟辛酸对表征细胞膜完整性的碘化丙啶(PI)染料荧光强度起到显著刺激作用,栅藻细胞膜受损几率随暴露浓度升高呈现上升趋势;低暴露浓度下栅藻细胞膜选择透过性增强,但在高浓度暴露下这一细胞膜特性受到明显抑制,具体表现为表征酯酶活性的二乙酸荧光素(FDA)荧光强度出现先升后降的变化;与FDA荧光强度变化趋势相反,反映膜电位的碘代3,3’-二己氧基羰花青(DIOC6(3))荧光强度则先降后升,预示高浓度PFOA暴露将导致细胞膜处于异常的生理状态.     

不同亲疏水性质纳米氧化铝存在下铜对斜生栅藻毒性效应的研究

纳米氧化铝是应用非常广泛的一类人工纳米材料。当它被释放到水环境中后,会与环境中原有的重金属发生相互作用并对其毒性产生影响。文章研究了不同亲疏水性质的纳米氧化铝存在下铜对斜生栅藻的毒性效应,测定了藻细胞的生长抑制、金属积累及超氧化物歧化酶、谷胱甘肽、丙二醛等生化指标的变化。结果表明,纳米氧化铝显著降低了铜离子对藻细胞的生长抑制,藻细胞内铜的积累量及氧化损伤降低。但不同亲疏水性质的纳米氧化铝之间并不存在显著差别。这可能是由于纳米氧化铝对水中的铜离子发生了吸附,间接降低了藻液中的不稳态铜的浓度,从而减轻了铜对藻细胞的毒害。而纳米氧化铝的不同亲疏水性质对吸附水中铜离子的能力没有显著的影响。     

Resource utilization of wasted black pulping liquor for biodiesel production by Scenedesmus obliquus

The possibility of application of black liquor for oil-riched algae cultivation is inspected. The results show that after ligin removal and enzymatic hydrolysis, the hydrolysate of black liquor contained 9.18 g L^?1 of reducing sugar. When the hydrolysate was used for Scenedesmus obliquus (S. obliquus) cultivation, a 1.23 g L^?1, 24.52%, and 23.20 mg L^?1d^?1 was obtained for growth yield, oil content, and the lipid productivity, seperately. The hemicellulose was extracted from black liquor and hydrolyzed. With addition of 3 g L^?1 yeast extract, the growth yield of S. obliquus in hemicellulose hydrolysate increased to 2.7 g L^?1, an increase of 26.8% than that of in glucose medium, oil content was 25.7% and the final lipid productivity reached 53.37 mg L^?1d^?1. The results indicate that black liquor can not be directly used by microalgae, but with approprate treatment, the carbohydrate of it could be recovered and uitilized for the oil production from microalgae.     

酶催化降解四溴双酚A反应引起的碳纳米管急性毒性变化

辣根过氧化物酶催化去除四溴双酚A的反应能够改变多壁碳纳米管(multiwall carbon nanotubes,MWCNTs)在水环境中的稳定性。为探究该反应对碳纳米管生态毒性效应的影响,选择大型蚤(Daphnia magna)和斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)作为受试生物,分别考察了反应前后MWCNTs对大型蚤的急性毒性以及对斜生栅藻的生长抑制和藻细胞色素的影响。结果表明,在1~10 mg·L-1的暴露浓度下,与原始的MWCNTs相比,反应后的MWCNTs对大型蚤的急性毒性明显减弱。在10 mg·L-1的暴露剂量下,原始的MWCNTs造成大型蚤的死亡率高达65%,而反应后的MWCNTs引起大型蚤的死亡率仅为23%。此外,反应前后的MWCNTs对斜生栅藻的生长均有抑制作用。随着暴露浓度的增大,藻细胞密度、叶绿素a和b的含量逐渐降低。与原始MWCNTs相比,反应后的MWCNTs对斜生栅藻的毒性明显减弱。上述研究结果为评价MWCNTs的环境风险提供了基础数据。     

不同培养条件下扰动对两种淡水藻生长的影响

研究了单种和按1∶1配比混合培养条件下,不同扰动强度对铜锈微囊藻和斜生栅藻生长的影响,结果表明:在试验所模拟的扰动强度范围内,较小的扰动有利于藻类的生长和聚集,单独培养的微囊藻和栅藻均在扰动强度为90r/min时藻比增长率最大;当转速大于该值时,随着扰动强度的加大,藻比增长率呈现下降趋势。在共培养体系中,铜锈微囊藻的比增长率均大于单独培养时的比增长率,且在扰动强度为90r/min时最大;栅藻由于竞争能力较弱,生长能力受到微囊藻的抑制,其生长状况明显劣于单独培养时的情况,且比增长率大大减小。     

斜生栅藻的无菌化培养及其在原油降解中的应用研究

选用组合抗生素结合溶菌酶/SDS预处理方法对斜生栅藻进行无菌化培养,对不同抗生素组合的除菌效果进行了比较。青霉素+庆大霉素对斜生栅藻和附生菌都有强烈的抑制性能,而青霉素+利福平和青霉素+四环素组合除菌不彻底。青霉素+卡那霉素组合能彻底除去附生菌并且对藻的抑制作用最小,可得到无菌斜生栅藻。将斜生栅藻与石油组分降解菌构建菌藻共生体系,未除菌藻的附生菌与石油组分菌之间不能很好地相互适应,使得原油降解效果反而降低。纯栅藻则对石油降解菌表现出非常良好的促进作用,利用除菌后的斜生栅藻与石油组分降解菌构建了一个高效降解原油的菌藻共生体系,充分肯定了微藻无菌化培养的积极意义。     

乙酰甲胺磷对斜生栅藻的毒性及细菌降解研究

采用血球计数法测定斜生栅藻细胞数目,研究了乙酰甲胺磷对斜生栅藻的毒性作用,并通过藻类培养液中接种经过筛选得到的乙酰甲胺磷高效降解菌测定其对乙酰甲胺磷毒性的去除影响。研究结果表明,乙酰甲胺磷对斜生栅藻的抑制中浓度(EC50)大于159 mg/L,急性毒性为低毒。但进一步研究发现,在7 d后,EC50为174.68 mg/L,明显低于24 h的1 128.57 mg/L,存在亚慢性毒性。通过藻类培养液接种高效降解菌Y-6,乙酰甲胺磷对藻类的生长抑制程度减轻。
