重稀土元素钇对短程反硝化工艺的影响

研究重稀土元素钇（Y（III））对短程反硝化工艺的短期和长期影响.结果表明,1~50mg/L的Y（III）对亚硝酸盐的积累量无明显影响,60~100mg/L的Y（III）会影响硝酸盐的还原和亚硝酸盐的积累.1~10mg/L的Y（III）对细菌活性呈现促进作用,20~100mg/L的Y（III）对细菌活性呈现抑制作用.胞外吸附的Y（III）是抑制细菌活性的主要因子,线性拟合的相关性系数R²为0.957,半抑制浓度IC_50（吸附）为1.079mg/L（以湿重计）,对应水中Y（III）浓度为54.35mg/L.SEM显示,添加Y（III）会使细菌产生更多的胞外聚合物（EPS）将细菌包裹以抵抗Y（III）的毒性,EDS显示被包裹的细菌表面碳、氮元素含量大幅度降低,EPS影响了底物的传质.130d的长期实验表明,5mg/L的Y（III）会使反应器的反硝化性能逐渐消失,停止添加稀土后,反应器的亚硝酸盐积累功能也不能恢复.     

Trophic mode and organics metabolic characteristic of fungal community in swine manure composting

Fungal trophic modes and substrates utilization ability was observed in composting. Fungi had the higher diversity and more trophic types in thermophilic phase. Fungi had the higher metabolic potential in fresh swine manure and mature production. Redox potential, organics and moisture are main factors impacting fungal community. Composting reduced pathogenic fungi and enrich dung saprotroph fungi in swine manure. The succession of fungal community, trophic mode and metabolic characteristics were evaluated in 60 days composting of swine manure by high-throughput sequencing, FUNGuild and Biolog method, respectively. The result showed that the fungal community diversity reached to the highest level (76 OTUs) in the thermophilic phase of composting, then sustained decline to 15 OTUs after incubation. There were 10 fungal function groups in the raw swine manure. Pathotroph-saprotroph fungi reached to 15.91% on Day-10 but disappeared on Day-60. Dung saprotroph-undefined saprotroph fungi grown from 0.19% to 52.39% during the treatment. The fungal community had more functional groups but the lower substrate degradation rates in the thermophilic phase. The fungal communities on Day-0 and Day-60 had the highest degradation rates of amino acids and polymers, respectively. Redundancy analysis showed that ORP (49.6%), VS/Ash (45.3%) and moisture (39.2%) were the main influence factors on the succession of fungal community in the swine manure composting process.     

Migrational orientation in two species of littoral gastropods (Littorina angulifera and Nerita senegalensis)

Littorina angulifera (Lamark) and Nerita senegalensis Gmelin, both intertidal gastropods, appear to have a preference for specific levels of the shore. In some experiments conducted both in the laboratory and in the field, displaced snails exhibited a general homing behaviour when displaced upshore or downshore. Cues involved in this migrational behaviour have not clearly been identified.
