Effects of duckweed (Spriodela polyrrhiza) remediation on the composition of dissolved organic matter in effluent of scale pig farms

The swine effluent studied was collected from scale pig farms, located in Yujiang County of Jiangxi Province, China, and duckweed (Spriodela polyrrhiza) was selected to dispose the effluent. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of duckweed growth on the dissolved organic matter composition in swine effluent. Throughout the experiment period, the concentrations of organic matter were determined regularly, and the excitation–emission matrix (3DEEM) spectroscopy was used to characterize the fluorescence component. Compared with no-duckweed treatments (controls), the specific ultra-violet absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA₂₅₄) was increased by a final average of 34.4% as the phytoremediation using duckweed, and the removal rate of DOC was increased by a final average of 28.0%. In swine effluent, four fluorescence components were identified, including two protein-like (tryptophan, tyrosine) and two humic-like (fulvic acids, humic acids) components. For all treatments, the concentrations of protein-like components decreased by a final average of 69.0%. As the growth of duckweed, the concentrations of humic-like components were increased by a final average of 123.5% than controls. Significant and positive correlations were observed between SUVA₂₅₄ and humic-like components. Compared with the controls, the humification index (HIX) increased by a final average of 9.0% for duckweed treatments. Meanwhile, the duckweed growth leaded to a lower biological index (BIX) and a higher proportion of microbial-derived fulvic acids than controls. In conclusion, the duckweed remediation not only enhanced the removal rate of organic matter in swine effluent, but also increased the percent of humic substances.     

Effects of biochars on the bioaccessibility of phenanthrene/pyrene/zinc/lead and microbial community structure in a soil under aerobic and anaerobic conditions

The immobilization of co-contaminants of organic and inorganic pollutants by biochar is an efficient remediation strategy. However, the effect of biochar amendments on the bioaccessibility of the co-contaminants in dry versus flooded soils has rarely been compared. In batch experiments, bamboo-derived biochar(BB) had a higher sorption capacity for phenanthrene(Phe)/pyrene(Pyr)/zinc(Zn) than corn straw-derived biochar(CB), while CB had a higher sorption capacity for lead(Pb) than BB. After 150 days of incubation, the amendments of 2% CB, 0.5% BB and 2% BB effectively suppressed the dissipation and reduced the bioaccessibility of Phe/Pyr by 15.65%/18.02%, 17.07%/18.31%and 25.43%/27.11%, respectively, in the aerobic soils. This effectiveness was more significant than that in the anaerobic soils. The accessible Zn/Pb concentrations were also significantly lower in the aerobic soils than in the anaerobic soils, regardless of treatments.The Gram-negative bacterial biomass and the Shannon–Weaver index in the aerobic soil amended with 2% CB were the highest. The soil microbial community structure was jointly affected by changes in the bioaccessibility of the co-contaminants and the soil physiochemical properties caused by biochar amendments under the two conditions. Therefore, dry land farming may be more reliable than paddy soil cultivation at reducing the bioaccessibility of Phe/Pyr/Zn/Pb and enhancing the soil microbial diversity in the short term.     

美洲商陆（Phytolacca Americana L.）对铀的富集特征及根际微生物群落功能多样性的响应

在模拟低(25 mg·kg-1)、中(50 mg·kg-1)、高(100 mg·kg-1)剂量铀污染的条件下,采用盆栽试验,研究了美洲商陆富集铀的特点及铀污染对根际微生物群落的影响.结果表明,铀污染对美洲商陆生长的影响可能存在一个阈值,该阈值介于25~50 mg·kg-1之间,低于该阈值时,铀污染能够促进美洲商陆的生长,反之,则会抑制美洲商陆的生长.美洲商陆成熟时,根、茎和叶的最大铀富集量分别为131.69、9.87和45.33μg,是一种较为理想的修复铀尾矿的植物.Biolog-Eco测试结果表明,土壤中铀会对美洲商陆根际微生物群落产生负效应,铀胁迫可使根际微生物代谢迟缓,对碳源的选择发生转移,对糖类、羧酸类和胺类碳源的利用显著减少,对酚酸类碳源的利用显著增加;同时,铀胁迫可导致根际微生物群落功能多样性指数、均匀度指数及优势微生物种类降低.最后,利用培养96 h的平均吸光值进行聚类和主成分分析.结果表明,铀胁迫下美洲商陆根际微生物群落异于对照,美洲商陆根际微生物对铀胁迫的适应是以降低对糖类、羧酸类和胺类等碳源的利用为代价的.

颗粒直链藻水华生消对婆罗异剑水蚤（桡足类）种群动态的影响

近年来,国内外学者对湖库型水华的发生机理和生态效应都做了大量研究,但有关水华生消对浮游动物群落结构影响的研究还很少.因此,本研究利用两个室外水泥池在中等尺度上考察了颗粒直链藻水华生消过程对婆罗异剑水蚤(桡足类)种群动态的影响,以及后者摄食对水华生消的下行调控作用.结果发现,颗粒直链藻水华发展迅速,仅5 d时间叶绿素浓度就从(21.24±0.75)μg·L-1上升到(240.34±11.00)μg·L-1;随后水华进入快速消退期,3 d后叶绿素a浓度下降到(53.63±0.47)μg·L-1.婆罗异剑水蚤的摄食压力对颗粒直链藻水华具有明显的抑制作用,水华生消期间含有婆罗异剑水蚤的藻液叶绿素a浓度比对照组低20μg·L-1左右,最大差异为26.08μg·L-1.期间婆罗异剑水蚤的丰度也由接入时的(56.50±4.32)ind·L-1增加到(142.11±6.35)ind·L-1,增加了1.5倍.该研究结果表明,在无鱼类摄食压力情况下,颗粒直链水华的爆发和消亡对婆罗异剑水蚤的生长和繁殖没有负面影响,反而促进了其种群数量的增加,这可能是由于水华期间为其提供了充足的饵料供应.     

牵牛花对石油污染盐碱土壤微生物群落与石油烃降解的影响

利用磷脂脂肪酸（PLFAs）生物标记法分析野生型牵牛花（Pharbitis nil （Linn.） Choisy）根际土壤微生物群落结构,探讨牵牛花生长对石油烃污染土壤微生物群落与石油烃降解的影响.结果表明,供试土壤微生物群落中,先后出现了24种PLFAs,包括标记细菌的饱和脂肪酸（SAT）、革兰氏阳性菌（G⁺）的末端支链饱和脂肪酸（TBSAT）、革兰氏阴性菌（G^-）的单不饱和脂肪酸（MONO）和环丙脂肪酸（CYCLO）、真菌的多不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA）和放线菌的中间型支链饱和脂肪酸（MBSAT）等六大类型.PLFAs的主成分分析（PCA）表明,牵牛花根际与对照组（未种牵牛花,CK）土壤微生物群落具有明显的差异,微生物多样性在春季增加83%、夏季增加140%、秋季增加50%;微生物的生物量在春季增加97.6%,夏季增加116.3%,秋季增加60.3%.牵牛花根际与对照组相比土壤中石油烃降解率明显提高,在春、夏、秋季分别提高了7.5%、34.2%和19.7%;并且,在牵牛花生长的不同季节石油烃的降解率有明显的差异,春季为22.3%,夏季为51.8%,秋季为38.0%.相关性分析表明,石油烃降解与土壤微生物总生物量具有中等程度的相关性（|r|=0.75）;与G⁺细菌、甲烷氧化菌的生物量具有高度相关性,相关系数|r|>0.8;与G^-的生物量具有中度相关性,相关系数为|r|=0.74;与真菌的生物量具有低度相关性,相关系数为|r|=0.36,与放线菌没有相关性,相关系数为|r|<0.30.     

Cytogenetic studies of chromium (III) oxide nanoparticles on Allium cepa root tip cells

The current study evaluates the cytogenetic effects of chromium (III) oxide nanoparticles on the root cells of Allium cepa. The root tip cells of A. cepa were treated with the aqueous dispersions of Cr₂O₃ nanoparticles (NPs) at five different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μg/mL) for 4 hr. The colloidal stability of the nanoparticle suspensions during the exposure period were ascertained by particle size analyses. After 4 hr exposure to Cr₂O₃ NPs, a significant decrease in mitotic index (MI) from 35.56% (Control) to 35.26% (0.01 μg/mL), 34.64% (0.1 μg/mL), 32.73% (1 μg/mL), 29.6% (10 μg/mL) and 20.92% (100 μg/mL) was noted. The optical, fluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopic analyses demonstrated specific chromosomal aberrations such as—chromosome stickiness, chromosome breaks, laggard chromosome, clumped chromosome, multipolar phases, nuclear notch, and nuclear bud at different exposure concentrations. The concentration-dependent internalization/bio-uptake of Cr₂O₃ NPs may have contributed to the enhanced production of anti oxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase to counteract the oxidative stress, which in turn resulted in observed chromosomal aberrations and cytogenetic effects. These results suggest that A. cepa root tip assay can be successfully applied for evaluating environmental risk of Cr₂O₃ NPs over a wide range of concentrations.     

A/O-MBBR工艺处理生活污水性能及菌群结构

Effects of height and habitat type on egg parasitism by Trichogramma minutum and T. pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

Heliothis virescens (Fabricius) eggs were sampled to determine the effects of height and habitat type (soybean field vs. uncultivated vegetation) on rates of p arasitism by Trichogramma minutum Riley and T. pretiosum Riley. The potentially confounding effects of plant associations and host density and distribution were eliminated by sampling with laboratory-produced eggs deposited on cloths, rather than with eggs naturally deposited by endemic hosts.A 3-way contingency table analysis showed that parasitism (whether the egg cloths were parasitized or not) was significantly associated with height and habitat type in 1981, with higher rates of parasitism in the uncultivated habitat and at the greater height. Parasitism was independent of height and habitat in 1982. Rates of parasitism by the two Trichogramma species were not clearly associated with habitat type, but were associated with height. T. minutum consistently parasitized egg cloths positioned at greater heights than those parasitized by T. pretiosum. While the behavioral mechanisms responsible are unknown, this inter-specific difference could have important implications with regard to selecting the most suitable of these two Trichogramma species for a particular inundative release program.     

全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)对斑马鱼卵黄蛋白原mRNA水平的影响

为了研究环境低剂量全氟辛烷磺酸（perfluorooctane sulfonate,PFOS）对水生生物的内分泌干扰效应和可能的作用机制,测定了PFOS对斑马鱼（Brachydanio rerio）肝脏中卵黄蛋白原（vitellogenin,VTG）mRNA水平的影响.将斑马鱼暴露于4个PFOS的环境低剂量浓度组（0.1、1、10、100μg.L-1）中进行21d毒性试验,收集肝脏样品,提取RNA,采用荧光定量PCR（qRT-PCR）分别检测VTG1和VTG3的mRNA水平.结果表明：①PFOS暴露引起雄性斑马鱼肝脏VTG1和VTG3 mRNA水平升高,VTG1 mRNA水平升高与剂量呈正相关,在100μg.L-1暴露浓度处与对照组呈现显著性差异;VTG3的mRNA水平变化与剂量呈倒U型曲线,呈现典型的毒物刺激荷尔蒙效应,在10和100μg.L-1暴露浓度处与对照组呈现显著性差异;②PFOS暴露引起雌性斑马鱼肝脏中VTG1 mRNA水平升高,在10μg.L-1暴露浓度处与对照组呈现显著性差异,但在高浓度（10和100μg.L-1）处试验结果误差较大;VTG3 mRNA水平只在10μg.L-1暴露浓度处升高,但相比于对照组均没有显著性差异.试验结果表明PFOS暴露对斑马鱼的内分泌干扰作用明显,其毒性作用机制可能是类雌激素效应,而肝脏中VTG1和VTG3mRNA水平可能作为PFOS内分泌干扰效应评价的敏感生物标志物,但VTG1和VTG3 mRNA水平的响应曲线呈现基因亚型和性别差异.     

溶解性有机质对菲在沉积物上吸附与解吸性能的影响

采集了北京通州凉水河(标记为L)以及广东东江流域(标记为D)的沉积物,并进行菲(Phe)的连续吸附-解吸实验,研究了不同含量及组成的溶解性有机质(DOMs)对其吸附与解吸性能的影响.结果表明,DOMs能明显抑制菲在沉积物上的吸附,在实验浓度范围内(0~110mg/L),菲在沉积物上的吸附量与DOC浓度呈显著的负线性相关,并且DOC浓度越高,对吸附作用的抑制越显著.在溶解性有机质存在条件下,菲在2种沉积物上的吸附均呈线性吸附特征,kd值随加入沉积物浸出液DOC浓度的减小呈增大的趋势.菲在2种沉积物上的解吸过程均呈现一定的迟滞性,其解吸迟滞性可用热力学指数TII来描述.随着菲初始浓度的增加,TII值先减小后增加,其变化可以用吸附在高低位点上的菲分子比例以及菲分子是否能够被禁锢在吸附剂微孔内部来加以解释;溶解性有机质的存在,能促进菲从沉积物上的解吸,从而使菲的解吸滞后性减弱, 增强其在水环境介质中的迁移与传输能力.     

Effects of Cd（Ⅱ） and Cu（Ⅱ） on microbial characteristics in 2-chlorophenol-degradation anaerobic bioreactors

The effects of Cd^2＋ and Cu^2＋ at 300 mg/L on anaerobic microbial communities that degrade 2-cholorophenol （2-CP） were examined. Based on the polymerase chain reaction （PCR） of 16S rDNA, bacterial community diversity and archaeal community structure were analyzed with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and cloning, respectively. Degradation capabilities of the anaerobic microbial community were drastically abated and the degradation efficiency of 2-CP was reduced to 60% after shock by Cu^2＋ and Cd^2＋, respectively. The bacterial community structure was disturbed and the biodiversity was reduced after shock by Cu^2＋ and Cd^2＋ for 3 d. Some new metal-resistant microbes which could cope with the new condition appeared. The sequence analysis showed that there existed common Archaea species in control sludge and systems when treated with Cu^2＋ and Cd^2＋, such as Methanothrix soehngenii, Methanosaeta concilii, uncultured euryarchaeote, and so on. Both the abundance and diversity of archaeal species were altered with addition of Cd^2＋ and Cu^2＋ at high concentration. Although the abundance of the predominant archaeal species decreased with Cd^2＋ and Cu^2＋ addition for 3 d, they recovered to some extent after 10 d. The diversity of archaeal species was remarkably reduced after recovery for 10 d and the shift in archaeal composition seemed to be irreversible. The 2-CP-degradation anaerobic system was more sensitive to Cu^2＋ than Cd^2＋.     

全氟辛烷磺酸对赤子爱胜蚓的抗氧化酶、代谢酶和DNA损伤的影响

非致死浓度下全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)对土壤生物的毒性作用研究在国内外鲜见报道.因此,本文采用人工土壤培养法,通过亚急性试验,研究了PFOS对赤子爱胜蚓(Eisenia fetida)生长抑制、谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GST)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)及DNA损伤的影响.结果表明,PFOS暴露急性期和亚急性期,非致死浓度PFOS显著抑制蚯蚓生长(p=0.000),生长抑制率随着暴露浓度、暴露时间的增大而逐渐增大,42 d时250 mg·kg^-1处理组的生长抑制率最大(55.86%).PFOS暴露急性期和亚急性期,非致死浓度PFOS对GST和CAT活性没有显著性影响(GST:p=0.067;CAT:p=0.123),采用GST和CAT酶活性评价非致死浓度PFOS对蚯蚓的生态毒性时,需要参考其他指标进行综合分析.PFOS暴露急性期,非致死浓度PFOS可致体腔细胞DNA损伤;PFOS暴露亚急性期,体腔细胞DNA损伤随着暴露时间的增加而逐渐得到恢复.

低剂量长期铅暴露对雄性黑斑蛙精巢组织关键酶活性的影响

在实验条件下,将健康的性成熟雄性黑斑蛙暴露于0.1、0.2、0.4、0.8和1.6mg·L-1的Pb2+溶液中30d,以Ca2+-ATP酶、Na+-K+-ATP酶、Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP酶、β-葡萄糖醛酸苷酶(β-DG)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和酸性磷酸酶(ACP)活性为指标,进行了长期铅暴露对雄性黑斑蛙生殖毒性的研究.结果表明:随着铅染毒剂量的增加,Ca2+-ATP酶和Na+-K+-ATP酶活性被诱导,Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP酶活性被抑制,当Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP酶的抑制程度超过Ca2+-ATP酶和Na+-K+-ATP酶的代偿机制时,会抑制精子的发生,进而导致雄性生殖毒性;在1.6mg·L-1Pb2+处理下,ACP酶被显著抑制,提示支持细胞受损,精子总数受到影响;在0.4mg·L-1Pb2+处理下,LDH酶被显著抑制,提示生精细胞受损,精子质量受到影响.

酸性冲击对微生物电解产氢阳极菌群影响及功能基因变化解析

微生物电解产氢工艺是借助能够直接与电极传递电子的功能菌在阳极降解有机质并将产生的电子在阴极与质子结合回收氢气能源的新技术.采用市政废水在固定外加电压相同条件下直接启动15个反应器,以葡萄糖为碳源驯化获得电极功能菌群,稳定运行1个月获得反应器稳定产氢和伴随产甲烷效能.初始稳定时采用pH为7的磷酸盐缓冲液可以获得稳定的产气量,平行反应器表现出不同的氢气和甲烷产量.最高产氢反应器的氢气转化率为32.2%,氢气产率为(3.9±0.6)mol·mol-1(以每mol葡萄糖产生的H2量(mol)计,下同);相同条件下最低产氢效率反应器的甲烷转化率则可达到48.4%.通过48 h阳极生物膜的酸性冲击试验对阳极菌群功能恢复效果进行分析,发现消除冲击10~15 d反应器的电子传递效率得到恢复,但功能菌群多样性增加,氢气与甲烷比例发生变化.最高产氢反应器氢气产率降低1.8 mol·mol-1,而甲烷增量为0.4 mol·mol-1(以每mol葡萄糖产生的CH4量(mol)计,下同).通过关键功能基因分析发现,初始产氢效能高的反应器功能菌群中电子传递功能菌优势较大;阳极功能菌群受到短暂酸性冲击后,基于细胞色素C基因的相关菌群能够较快恢复,其电子传递能力恢复更快;与碳源降解和产甲烷相关基因群落受酸性冲击后变化较为显著,甲烷增量与氢气减少量基本符合反应计量关系.
