为探讨铅锌矿废弃地优势植物在重金属污染土壤植物修复中的应用潜力,利用野外采样分析法,从粤东梅县丙村铅锌尾矿区采集其三种优势植物类芦、黄荆、盐肤木的根、茎、叶和土壤样品,测定和分析Pb、Zn、Cu、Cd四种重金属含量.结果表明:该矿区土壤污染严重,Pb、Zn、Cd含量远超土壤环境质量的三级标准,Cu超出二级标准;根际土壤和非根际土壤重金属含量均为Pb＞Zn＞Cu＞Cd,但根际土壤的重金属含量显著低于非根际土壤;这三种植物对Pb、Zn、Cu的转移系数大于1.0,对Cu的富集系数最高,Pb最小,但对四种重金属的富集系数均小于1.0,均未达到超富集植物临界含量标准.三种植物为该矿区的优势植物,说明它们对土壤的重金属污染有很强的耐性,虽然并非典型的超富集植物,但对污染土壤仍有较好的修复效果.     

重庆溶溪锰矿区土壤重金属污染评价及植物吸收特征

对重庆溶溪锰矿尾渣堆积区土壤、优势植物以及周边农田土壤的重金属含量(Mn、Cd、Cu、Zn和Pb)进行测定分析,并以重庆市土壤背景值为评价标准,应用Hakanson潜在生态危害指数法对土壤中重金属的潜在生态危害进行了评价。结果表明:该锰矿尾渣堆积区土壤中Mn、Cd、Cu、Zn和Pb的平均含量分别为48382.5、3.91、79.97、131.23和80.68 mg/kg,受到Mn、Cd的严重污染,Mn为强或很强生态危害,Cd为极强生态危害,而Cu、Zn、Pb为轻微生态危害,各尾矿渣堆积区的综合潜在生态危害指数(RI)均远大于720,为极强生态危害。对优势植物重金属含量的分析显示,绝大部分植物地上部Mn、Cd含量都超出正常范围的上限值,而Cu、Zn和Pb含量基本都在正常范围内;根据植物对重金属的吸收特征,将植物分为三类:将重金属主要累积于地上部分的富集型,如垂序商陆(Phytolacca americana L.)和酸模叶蓼(Polygonum lapathifolium Linn.),适用于重金属复合污染土壤的植物修复;将重金属主要累积于根部的根部囤积型,如芒(Miscanthus sinensis Anderss.)和乌蕨(Stenoloma chusanum Ching);重金属含量较低的规避型,如黄花蒿(Artemisia annua L.)、长波叶山蚂蝗(Desmodium sequax Wall.)及钻形紫苑(Aster subulatus Michx.);后两种类型的植物可种植在重金属污染严重且使用价值相对较低的矿山废弃地上,同时规避型植物对于研究植物的重金属排斥机理具有重要价值。溶溪锰矿区周边农田土壤主要受到Cd的严重污染,Cd为很强或极强生态危害。     

水培条件下四种植物对Cd、Pb富集特征

利用水培方法测定了不同浓度下向日葵、蓖麻、紫花苜蓿及芥菜的生物量和植物体内重金属Cd、Pb含量,分析了植物对重金属的富集特征。结果表明:经过5周培养后,4种植物根部与地上部对重金属的富集量随着浓度的增加而增加,Cd浓度为20mg·L-1时,向日葵的根部Cd含量最高,达到237.86mg·kg-1,地上部Cd含量为89.48mg·kg-1;而Pb浓度为200mg·L-1时,芥菜根部对Pb的吸收量较高,达到597.22mg·kg-1,地上部Pb含量最高的则出现在向日葵处理Pb100mg·L-1中,为318.33mg·kg-1。4种植物对Cd、Pb的富集系数随重金属浓度的增加而减小;根部及地上部富集系数与生物量和重金属浓度呈现出一定的相关性;另外,在Cd、Pb复合处理中,一种重金属的存在会在不同程度上影响植物对另一种重金属的吸收。通过比较4种植物根部与地上部的生物量和对Cd、Pb富集特征,认为相对于其他3种植物向日葵对Cd、Pb具有较强的吸收潜力,并可以作为Cd、Pb污染土壤植物修复的备选植物。

金毛狗对重金属的富集特性的研究

为探讨金毛狗[Cibotium barometz(L.) J. Sm.]对重金属的富集能力,在广东省选取6个样点(南岭、南昆山、白云山、大岭山、梧桐山、西樵山)采集金毛狗的叶片、根状茎和根际土壤,采用ICP-MS测定9种重金属元素(Cr、Mn、Ni、Cu、Zn、As、Cd、Hg、Pb)的含量。结果表明,样地土壤已受到不同程度的重金属污染,土壤中Cd和Hg含量均高于广东省土壤背景值,分别为背景值的1.61~4.82倍和4.74~11.79倍。西樵山土壤中Cd含量最大,南岭土壤中Hg含量最大。在9种元素中,金毛狗对Hg的转运系数最高,达4.8,对Cd的富集系数最高,达2.2,Cu和Cd元素的转运系数和富集系数均大于1。这说明金毛狗对重金属元素的富集能力较弱而转运能力较强。     

公路绿化植物油松(Pinus tabulaeformis)和小叶杨(Populus simonii)对重金属元素的吸收与积累

对内蒙古西部公路绿化植物油松（Pinus tabulaeformis）、小叶杨（Populus simonii）及其根际土壤中重金属元素（Cd、Hg、Pb、Cu、Zn、Ni、Cr）和类金属元素（As和Se）含量以及根际土壤重金属（Cu、Zn、Pb、Ni和Cr）形态、土壤pH值进行了测定。对比分析了公路沿线不同绿化植物及其不同器官对重金属元素的吸收与积累特征。结果表明：绿化植物根际土壤对重金属元素的吸附及污染程度以Cd为最高。随原子序数的递增,小叶杨和油松两种植物的根部和茎叶两种营养器官中重金属的含量均表现出“N”字形变动趋势。而且重金属元素在不同植物不同器官中的含量具有Zn〉Cu〉Ni,Cr,As,Pb〉Cd〉Hg的基本规律。小叶杨茎叶对重金属元素Cr、Ni和Pb的富集能力较根部为强,油松茎叶对重金属元素Cr、Ni、Cu和Pb的富集能力较根部为强。绿化植物根际土壤重金属元素有效态占总量百分比的大小序列为Zn〉Pb〉Ni、Cr〉Cu,与重金属元素在不同植物不同器官中的含量大小序列Zn〉Cu〉Ni、Cr、As、Pb〉Cd〉Hg并非趋于一致。公路绿化植物对根际土壤中重金属元素的吸收和积累与重金属元素有效态所占的比例有关。     

Bioremediation of organic and metal contaminants with dissimilatory metal reduction

PCR fingerprinting offers a practical molecular means to quickly and reliably differentiate bacteria for microbial products screening. A combination of low resolution and high resolution PCR fingerprinting provides a hirarchical system which allows the discrimination of bacteria at species and subspecies level within 7 h. DNA was extracted from cells by incubating them in water at 95°C for 30 min. A sample of 1 l of the cell-free aqueous extract then was used as a source of template DNA in the PCR. The PCR products were separated by electrophoresis on an acrylamide gel and visualized by ethidium bromide staining. The band patterns generated for each different culture were unique, reproducible, and independent of cultivation conditions. Band patterns may be compared visually or by using imaging and pattern matching software. In our laboratory, bacteria such as actinomycetes, Gram-negative and Gram-positive soil eubacteria, and photosynthetic non-sulfur bacteria have been differentiated using PCR fingerprinting.     

细菌金属离子外排系统及金属稳态调控

铁、铜、锌、锰等金属离子是各类生物体生存和增殖所必需的微量元素,可影响生物体内蛋白酶活性、免疫反应、生理过程和抗感染机制。细菌感染过程中,宿主可通过限制或提高体内环境中金属离子的浓度来抑制细菌增殖,与此同时,细菌进化出各种转运系统以适应宿主体内金属离子水平的变化。由于不同细菌的金属离子外排系统在结构和生化特性上存在变异,它们呈现出独特的金属离子外排模式。本文根据现有文献报道及本团队研究结果,对铁、铜、锌和锰离子的细菌外排系统进行讨论和总结,旨在综述目前对细菌金属离子稳态调控机制研究进展的认识,为深入理解细菌金属稳态调控相关机制提供参考。     

The role of metal on imide hydrolysis: metal content and pH profiles of metal ion-replaced mammalian imidase

Imidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of a variety of imides. The removal of metal from imidase eliminates its activity but does not affect its tetrameric and secondary structure. The reactivation of the apoenzyme with transition metal ions Co(2+), Zn(2+), Mn(2+), and Cd(2+) shows that imidase activity is linearly dependent on the amount of metal ions added. Ni(2+) and Cu(2+) are also inserted, one per enzyme subunit, into the apoimidase, but do not restore imidase activity. Enzyme activity with different metal replaced imidase varies significantly. However, the changes of the metal contents do not appear to affect the pK(a)s obtained from the bell-shaped pH profiles of metal reconstituted imidase. The metal-hydroxide mechanism for imidase action is not supported based on the novel findings from this study. It is proposed that metal ion in mammalian imidase functions as a Lewis acid, which stabilizes the developing negative charge of imide substrate in transition state.     

Ligand and metal X-ray absorption in transition metal complexes

The ligand K edges and metal L edges of transition metal complexes are discussed within the perspective of recent progress in calculations on bulk transition metal oxides. Similarities and differences between bulk transition metal systems and coordination complexes are discussed. It is argued that the core hole effect reduces the amount of ligand p-states in the 3d-band (the β² value) by approximately 10-20%. It is suggested that matrix elements do not have to be included in XAS calculations if one calculates the projected DOS in the area of the core state radius. In case of metal L edge spectra, the additional effects of multiplets and charge transfer are discussed and compared with DFT calculations.     

Mechanisms of metal carcinogenesis

Experimental observations that pertain to mechanisms of metal carcinogenesis are summarized, with emphasis upon (a) interactions of metals with nucleic acids in vitro; (b) impairment by metals of the fidelity of DNA replication by DNA polymerase in vitro; (c) mutagenicity of metals in microorganisms; (d) cytogenetic aberrations induced by metals in tissue culture cells; (e) induction by metals of neoplastic transformation of tissue culture cells; and (f) nuclear uptake of metals in vivo and concomitant inhibitory effects of metals on synthesis of nucleic acids. Considered in toto, the experimental data support the somatic mutation hypothesis of chemical carcinogenesis. Sufficient experimental evidence is available regarding four carcinogenic metals (As, Be, Cr, and Ni) to permit speculations about the molecular reactions whereby these metals may induce somatic mutations. This article is an updated outgrowth of a review presented at the A. O. Beckman Conference on the Biochemistry of Cancer that was held in San Antonio, Texas, on September 6–8, 1978. The earlier draft of this article is being published in the proceedings volume.     

Rhizosphere bacteria affect growth and metal uptake of heavy metal accumulating willows

A variety of plants growing on metalliferous soils accumulate metals in their harvestable parts and have the potential to be used for phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted land. There is increasing evidence that rhizosphere bacteria contribute to the metal extraction process, but the mechanisms of this plant–microbe interaction are not yet understood. In this study ten rhizosphere isolates obtained from heavy metal accumulating willows affiliating with Pseudomonas, Janthinobacterium, Serratia, Flavobacterium, Streptomyces and Agromyces were analysed for their effect on plant growth, Zn and Cd uptake. In plate assays Zn, Cd and Pb resistances and the ability of the bacteria to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase (ACC deaminase) and siderophores were determined. The isolates showed resistance to high Zn concentrations, indicating an adaptation to high concentrations of mobile Zn in the rhizosphere of Salix caprea. Four siderophore producers, two IAA producers and one strain producing both siderophores and IAA were identified. None of the analysed strains produced ACC deaminase. Metal mobilization by bacterial metabolites was assessed by extracting Zn and Cd from soil with supernatants of liquid cultures. Strain Agromyces AR33 almost doubled Zn and Cd extractability, probably by the relase of Zn and Cd specific ligands. The remaining strains, immobilized both metals. When Salix caprea plantlets were grown in γ-sterilized, Zn/Cd/Pb contaminated soil and inoculated with the Zn resistant isolates, Streptomyces AR17 enhanced Zn and Cd uptake. Agromyces AR33 tendentiously promoted plant growth and thereby increased the total amount of Zn and Cd extracted from soil. The IAA producing strains did not affect plant growth, and the siderophore producers did not enhance Zn and Cd accumulation. Apparently other mechanisms than the production of IAA, ACC deaminase and siderophores were involved in the observed plant–microbe interactions.
