漂浮阴极SMFC传感器产电信号对不同重金属污染的响应特征及机制研究

我国十分重视对突发性水污染事件的监测和处置.本研究设计了一种实时在线监测重金属污染事件的漂浮阴极沉积物-微生物燃料电池传感器(漂浮阴极SMFC传感器).该传感器阳极埋设在淹水土壤中,阴极漂浮在水面作为污染响应元件,并向阴极分别加入Zn²⁺、Cd²⁺、Co²⁺、Ni²⁺、Pb²⁺、Cu²⁺、Cr⁶⁺溶液以模拟水体重金属污染事件,以探究该传感器电信号对不同重金属污染的响应特征及机制.结果显示,Cu²⁺和Cr⁶⁺污染引起传感器出现明显的电压峰,而其他5种重金属污染则未引起明显的电信号响应.该传感器电压信号对Cu²⁺污染的最低检测限为5 mg·L^-1,灵敏度为1.06 mV·L·mg^-1,线性范围为5～40 mg·L^-1;Cr⁶⁺污染的最低检测限为40 mg·L^-1,灵...     

杀虫剂三唑磷对沼水蛙（Hylarana guentheri）蝌蚪的遗传毒性研究

采用微核试验和单细胞凝胶电泳技术(彗星试验)检测了不同浓度(0、0.2、0.4、1.2、2.0、2.8mg·L-1)的三唑磷溶液对沼水蛙蝌蚪遗传毒性的影响.结果表明,当三唑磷染毒24h(≥1.2mg·L-1)及72h(≥0.2mg·L-1)后,蝌蚪微核率和核异常率比对照组均有极显著的提高.在同一时间下,随着三唑磷浓度的增大,蝌蚪微核率和核异常率总体上随之增加;在同一浓度下,随着染毒时间的增加,低浓度组(≤0.4mg·L-1)微核率出现逐渐升高趋势;高浓度组(≥1.2mg·L-1)微核率则先增加后降低.染毒24h后,彗星试验的各项指标Tail Length、Comet Length、Tail Moment和Olive Tail Moment均随三唑磷浓度的增加而增加,并呈现极显著的剂量-效应关系.当三唑磷浓度达到0.2mg·L-1时,与对照组相比,DNA总体损伤水平(Comet Assay Tail Factor)显著提高.实验表明三唑磷对蛙类蝌蚪会造成一定的遗传损伤,微核试验和彗星试验在检测污染物对蝌蚪的遗传毒性方面具有较大的应用价值.     

Use of Basic Biological Information for Rapid Prediction of the Response of Species to Habitat Loss

Abstract:  Much research has focused on identifying traits that can act as useful indicators of how habitat loss affects the extinction risk of species, and the results are mixed. We developed 2 simple, rapid-assessment models of the susceptibility of species to habitat loss. We based both on an index of range size, but one also incorporated an index of body mass and the other an index combining habitat and dietary specialization. We applied the models to samples of birds (Accipitridae and Bucerotidae) and to the lemurs of Madagascar and compared the models' classifications of risk with the IUCN's global threat status of each species. The model derived from ecological attributes was much more robust than the one derived from body mass. Ecological attributes identified threatened birds and lemurs with an average of 80% accuracy and endangered and critically endangered species with 100% accuracy and identified some species not currently listed as threatened that almost certainly warrant conservation consideration. Appropriate analysis of even fairly crude biological information can help raise early-warning flags to the relative susceptibilities of species to habitat loss and thus provide a useful and rapid technique for highlighting potential species-level conservation issues. Advantages of this approach to classifying risk include flexibility in the specialization parameters used as well as its applicability at a range of spatial scales.     

温度两阶段控制策略发酵生产重组角质酶

为进一步提高重组Bacillus subtilis WSHB06-07发酵生产角质酶的产量和生产强度,在pH两阶段控制策略的基础上,考察了温度(27～40℃)对菌体生长和产酶的影响.研究发现,37℃适于菌体生长而30℃适于菌体产酶.通过分析发酵过程中菌体比生长速率及产物比合成速率的变化,确定了温度两阶段控制策略,即0～4 h时控制温度37℃,4 h后将温度调至30℃.通过采用这一优化策略,角质酶酶活和生产强度分别可达312.5 U/mL和13.02 kU L-1 h-1,相比恒定温度37℃控制模式下分别提高了83.4%和10.9%.图6表2参13

Investigation of the effects of static magnetic field on apoptosis in bone marrow stem cells of rat

This research was carried out to evaluate the influence of static magnetic field on the rate of apoptosis in bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) of rats. Extracted cells were suspended in αMEM as a culture media for 48 h. After that, cells were exposed to 15 mT static magnetic field (SMF) for 5 h, incessantly with or without FeCl₂. The rate of apoptosis was then assessed via flow cytometery. The results showed that either treatment with FeCl₂ or exposure to SMF enhanced the rate of apoptotic cells. Moreover, cells that were treated simultaneously with FeCl₂ and SMF have higher rate of apoptosis. An increase in apoptosis by 26.5% was induced by SMF alone and an increase in apoptosis by 28.2% was induced by a combination of FeCl₂ and SMF, compared to their corresponding controls. The results recommended that the effects of SMF on apoptosis may be related to increment of the number of free radicals in the cells.

Effects of chaotic acclimation applied on performance of microbial fuel cells

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are one of the bioreactors that produce electrons by metabolizing substrate from microorganisms, and have the ability to both degrade waste solution and produce electrons. Recently, the activity of microorganisms has limited the power performance of MFCs. Chaos has been used to stimulate activity of microorganisms, but it has not been used previously in MFCs. In this study, three types of acclimations – native acclimation (NA), MFC acclimation (MFCA), and MFC embedded with chaotic electric field acclimation (CMFCA) – are applied to realize their performance and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal in MFCs, respectively. Results show that the current density and the power density of CMFCA were improved by 1.33 and 1.25 times than MFCA, and the COD removal of CMFCA reached 85% after five days. In addition, the acclimation stage at the condition of CMFCA appeared after 10 days, but was not found for the MFCA system. These observations would provide positive information for improving the performance of MCFs in the future.
