贵阳市水库中硫酸盐还原菌及铁还原菌对甲基汞分布的影响

微生物在汞的甲基化过程中起着关键作用,但关于野外微生物活动对甲基汞分布的影响研究较为缺乏.通过对贵阳市不同污染类型水库中硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)、铁还原菌(DIRB)、甲基汞(MeHg)及相应水质参数分布规律研究,探讨了水库中SRB和DIRB活动在汞甲基化及其分布中所起的作用.在水库上覆水体中,SRB与甲基汞呈显著正相关关系(r=0.398,p0.015,n=37),表明在上覆水体中,SRB为主要的汞甲基化细菌.在污染严重且差异明显的沉积物中,两种微生物对甲基汞分布的影响各不相同.在受矿山酸性废水污染的阿哈水库,由于其过高的SRB含量及其硫酸盐还原活动,导致夏季沉积物表层硫离子大量积累,严重抑制了汞的甲基化过程,使得沉积物孔隙水表层甲基汞明显低于其它两个水库,也低于阿哈水库上覆水体甲基汞含量.在红枫水库,沉积物表层适宜的SRB活动促进了汞的甲基化,硫酸盐还原物硫离子和孔隙水甲基汞存在显著相关性(r=0.674,p0.001,n=31);在百花水库,由于沉积物曾受到严重汞污染,甲基汞峰值主要受到沉积物总汞的影响,和两种微生物活动及其产物均未表现出显著相关性.     

Characterization of the effective cellulose degrading strain CTL-6

An efficient cellulose degrading bacteria exists in the thermophilic wheat straw-degrading community, WDC2. However, this strain cannot be isolated and cultured using conventional separation techniques under strict anaerobic conditions. We successfully isolated a strain of effective cellulose degrading bacteria CTL-6 using a wash, heat shock, and solid-liquid alternating process. Analysis of its properties revealed that, although the community containing the strain CTL-6 grew under aerobic conditions, the purified strain CTL-6 only grew under anaerobic culture conditions. The strain CTL-6 had a striking capability of degrading cellulose (80.9% weight loss after 9 days of culture). The highest efficiency value of the endocellulase (CMCase activity) was 0.404 μtmol/(min-mL), cellulose degradation efficiency by CTL-6 was remarkably high at 50-65°C with the highest degradation efficiency observed at 60°C. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the closest relative to strain CTL-6 belonged to the genus Clostridium thermocellum. Strain CTL-6 was capable of utilizing cellulose, celiobiose, and glucose. Strain CTL-6 also grew with Sorbitol as the sole carbon source, whereas C.therrnocellum is unable to do so.     

甲胺磷降解菌的分离与降解特性研究

从长期受甲胺磷农药污染的土壤中采集土样,经过富集培养,稀释倒平板后划线分离得到3个菌株,分别编号为J-1,J-2,J-3菌株。将分离到的3个菌株接种到富集培养基中培养后,利用钼锑抗分光光度法测定磷含量变化,明显可以看出J-3菌株具有较高的降解能力,因此选择J-3菌株作为下一步研究的对象。经形态学和生理生化指标初步鉴定J-3菌株为假单胞菌。J-3菌株能在没有外加碳氮源的情况下以甲胺磷作为唯一的碳源和氮源生长。另外,确定J-3菌株降解甲胺磷的最适温度为37℃,最适pH为7.0,外加碳氮源分别为葡萄糖和蛋白胨,最适装液量和接种量分别为100,250mL和8%等降解特性。     

多功能细菌复合系NSC-7的菌种组成多样性

NSC-7是一组具有降解纤维素和林丹双重功能的细菌复合系.为系统了解复合系的菌种组成,在有氧条件下,利用传统的平板画线法分离到11株单菌,将11株单菌按体积比1∶1重新组合并不具备分解纤维素的能力,利用单层和双层平板滤纸法检测NSC-7的分解能力,发现只有双层平板上的滤纸变黄且降解,说明复合系内纤维素降解的关键菌是厌氧或微好氧菌.利用现代分子生物学技术对NSC-7构建克隆文库,获得了195个16S rDNA片断,经DGGE筛选获得25个代表克隆,其序列数据库比对结果中有60％的近缘种为已知菌,分别归属于Clostridium、Petrobacter、Bacteria、Paenibacillus、Proteobacterium 5个属,其余40％的近缘种为难培养菌株.     

耐高温解无机磷菌解磷条件的优化

为提高堆肥中添加难溶性磷的转化效率,对筛选于高温堆肥中的耐高温解无机磷菌株(BL161)解磷条件进行优化研究. 利用正交设计表L₂₅(56)选择培养时间,温度,pH,磷矿粉添加量和菌剂接种比例作为参考因素,对该菌株进行发酵培养. 结果表明:该菌株的最佳解无机磷条件是培养基pH为4.5,磷矿粉添加量与接种量分别为9.0 g/L和7%,于38 ℃下培养25 d,解磷总量(274 mg/L)达到最大;对温度指标分析显示,该菌株的温度耐受范围较广,在34～50 ℃下均能进行解无机磷活动,38 ℃为最适解无机磷培养温度;该菌株的耐热性较高,在50 ℃下能够很好地定植和解无机磷,发酵液中ρ(磷矿粉)随着培养时间的增加呈上升趋势,并于培养的第25天达到209 mg/L;极差分析显示,发酵时间对解磷总量的影响最大(R_时间152.2),其他各因素对解磷总量的影响大小依次为pH＞温度＞磷矿粉添加量＞接种量.      

Enhanced biohydrogen generation from organic wastewater containing NH 4 + by phototrophic bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides AR-3

NH ₄ ⁺ is typically an inhibitor to hydrogen production from organic wastewater by photo-bacteria. In this experiment, biohydrogen generation with wild-type anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroideswas found to be sensitive to NH ₄ ⁺ due to the significant inhibition of NH ₄ ⁺ to its nitrogenase. In order to avoid the inhibition of NH ₄ ⁺ to biohydrogen generation by R. sphaeroides, a glutamine auxotrophic mutant R. sphaeroides AR-3 was obtained by mutagenizing with ethyl methane sulfonate. The AR-3 mutant could generate biohydrogen efficiently in the hydrogen production medium with a higher NH ₄ ⁺ concentration, because the inhibition of NH ₄ ⁺ to nitrogenase of AR-3 was released. Under suitable conditions, AR-3 effectively produced biohydrogen from tofu wastewater, which normally contains 50–60 mg/L NH ₄ ⁺ , with an average generation rate of 14.2 mL/L·h. This generation rate was increased by more than 100% compared with that from wild-type R. sphaeroides.     

Degradation of chlorpyrifos by an endophytic bacterium of the Sphingomonas genus (strain HJY) isolated from Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum)

The degradation of chlorpyrifos (CP) by an endophytic bacterial strain (HJY) isolated from Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum Rottl. ex Spreng) was investigated. Strain HJY was identified as Sphingomonas sp. based on morphological, physiological, and biochemical tests and a 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Approximately 96% of 20 mg L^?1 CP was degraded by strain HJY over 15 days in liquid minimal salts medium (MSM). The CP degradation rate could also be increased by glucose supplementation. The optimal conditions for the removal of 20 mg L^?1 CP by strain HJY in MSM were 2% inoculum density, pH 6.0, and 30–35°C. The CP degradation rate constant and half-life were 0.2136 ± 0.0063 d^?1 and 3.2451 ± 0.0975 d, respectively, under these conditions, but were raised to 0.7961 ± 0.1925 d^?1 and 0.8707 ± 0.3079 d with 1% glucose supplementation. The detection of metabolic products and screening for degrading genes indicated that O,O-diethyl O-3,5,6-trichloropyridinol was the major degradation product from CP, while it was likely that some functional genes were undetected and the mechanism responsible for CP degradation by strain HJY remained unknown. Strain HJY is potentially useful for the reduction of CP residues in Chinese chives and may be used for the in situ phytoremediation of CP.     

Effect of endophyte-infection on growth parameters and Cd-induced phytotoxicity of Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum L

The aim of this work was to evaluate effects of endophytic bacterium inoculation on plant growth and assess the possible mechanism of endophyte in heavy metal phytoremediation. Seeds of Solanum nigrum L. were inoculated with endophyte Serratia nematodiphila LRE07 and were subjected to Cd in the growing medium. Cd produced a significant inhibition on plant growth and a reduction in the content of photosynthetic pigments. The inoculation of endophytic bacterium alleviated the Cd-induced changes, resulting in more biomass production and higher photosynthetic pigments content of leaves compared with non-symbiotic ones. The beneficial effect was more obvious at relatively low Cd concentration (10 μM). Based on the alteration of nutrient uptake and activated oxygen metabolism in infected plants, the possible mechanisms of endophytic bacterium in Cd phytotoxicity reduction can be concluded as uptake enhancement of essential mineral nutrition and improvement in the antioxidative enzymes activities in infected plant.
