Plant phenols contents and their changes with nitrogen availability in peatlands of northeastern China

气候变暖和大气氮沉降增加会改变北方泥炭地的养分状态,从而影响其植被的物种组成和固碳功能。酚类物质是植物用于 防御植食性动物和适应环境的次生代谢产物,由于其具有抗分解的特性,在调节泥炭地碳动态方面也起着重要的作用。然而,北方 泥炭地不同功能型植物的酚含量及其如何随氮有效性变化尚不清楚。本论文通过测定中国东北大兴安岭地区18个泥炭地共11 种植物的叶片总酚含量(Total Phenols Contents, TPC),研究了它们随叶片氮、磷含量的变化关系,并探讨了其潜在机制。结果表明,灌木叶片TPC高于草本植物,说明生长较快且无菌根的草本植物比生长较慢且具有菌根的灌木对防御的碳投入较少。灌木叶片TPC随叶片氮含量增 加而降低,表明其防御碳投入随氮有效性增加而减少。相反,草本植物叶片TPC随氮含量增加而增加,随磷含量增加而减少,由于草本植物相对于灌木具有较强的氮限制和较弱的磷限制,草本植物防御碳投入可能随养分有效性增加而增加。我们的结果表明,泥炭地在氮有效性随气候变暖和氮沉降增加而增加的背景下,灌木将投入相对较多的碳用于生长而非防御,而草本植物则与之相反。这些发现将有助于对北方泥炭地灌木入侵及其资源竞争机制的理解。     

An innovative miniature microbial fuel cell fabricated using photolithography

Recently microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have attracted increasing interests in both environmental and energy fields. Among the various MFC configurations, miniature microbial fuel cell (mini-MFC) has a great potential for the application in medical, communication and other areas because of its miniature volume and high output power density. In this work, a 25-μL single-chamber mini-MFC was fabricated using the photolithography technique. The plate-shaped gold anodic electrode in the mini-MFC showed a higher electrochemical activity than the stripe-shaped one. A biofilm of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was formed on the surface of gold electrode in this micro-liter-scale MFCs. As a result, a maximum power density of 29 mW/m(2) and a maximum current density of 2148 mA/m(2) were achieved by this single-chamber mini-MFC.     

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of pyridine acyl sulfonamide derivatives as novel COX-2 inhibitors

A series of pyridine acyl sulfonamide derivatives (1-24) have been designed and synthesized and their biological activities were also evaluated as potential cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. Among all the compounds, compound 23 displayed the most potent COX-2 inhibitory activity with an IC(50) of 0.8 μM. Antitumor and anti-inflammatory assays indicated that compound 23 owned high antiproliferative activity against B16-F10, HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines as well as COX-2-derived prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) inhibitory activity of murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line with IC(50) values of 2.8, 1.2, 1.8 and 0.15 μM, respectively. Docking simulation was performed to position compound 23 into the COX-2 active site to determine the probable binding model.

间伐对川西亚高山粗枝云杉人工林细根生物量及碳储量的影响

以川西亚高山50年生粗枝云杉(Picea asperata)人工林为研究对象, 探讨了间伐对粗枝云杉人工林1-5级细根生物量及碳储量的影响。结果表明: 粗枝云杉人工林细根生物量和碳储量随根序等级的增加而显著增加(p < 0.05), 5级根序中1级根生物量及碳储量最小, 5级根生物量及碳储量最大。与对照(间伐0%)相比, 间伐对粗枝云杉人工林林分细根生物量及碳储量有显著影响(p < 0.05); 而对单株细根生物量影响不一, 间伐10%和20%与对照没有显著性差异(p > 0.05)。间伐显著影响生物量在各根序中的分配, 随着间伐强度的增加, 1、2级细根中生物量分配比例增加, 1级细根的生物量增加幅度最大; 3-5级细根的生物量分配比例减小, 5级细根减少幅度最大。其中, 间伐50%显著减少了细根在下层(20-40 cm)土壤中的生物量比例(p < 0.05), 但与间伐20%和30%无显著差异(p > 0.05)。     

冬季火如何影响川西亚高山草地植物群落?

虽然火后土壤理化性质、微生物特性与植物群落结构之间的关系已经被大量报道, 但迄今为止, 火影响植物群落结构的具体途径依然存在较大争议。该文以可持续管理草地生态系统为目的, 试图揭示冬季火影响川西亚高山草地生态系统的植物群落结构的具体途径, 提出了“火通过改造土壤环境来影响植物群落结构和多样性”的假设。在对比火烧区域和未火烧区域土壤的理化性质、微生物特性和植物群落结构的基础上, 联合非度量多维尺度分析和结构方程模型, 模拟了5种可能改变植物群落的主要途径。结果表明, 相对于冬季火的直接作用而言, 川西亚高山草地火后植物群落结构的塑造主要依赖于火对土壤微生物特性的改变, 且该假设途径具有最佳的模拟效果。这暗示了土壤微生物的死亡和繁殖是改变火后土壤理化性质和植物群落结构的重要途径。土壤作为一个整体环境, 其微生物生命代谢活动在调控火后土壤生物化学循环(特别是氮循环过程)中所扮演的角色有待进一步的研究。     

Response of a biohydrogen-producing reactor to the substrate shift from sucrose to lactose

The response of an upflow acidogenic granule-based reactor to the substrate shift from sucrose to lactose was investigated in this study. Experimental results show that it took 60h for the reactor to completely degrade the new substrate. Hydrogen production performance, in terms of H(2) partial pressure, H(2) production rate and H(2) yield, was affected. Acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate, caporate, ethanol and propanol were present in the reactor effluent, and their distribution changed significantly after the substrate shift. As the substrate was changed, the caproate- and ethanol-type fermentation was weakened, while the propionate-type fermentation was strengthened. Throughout the experiment, the butyrate-type fermentation played an important role. The H(2) yield had a close correlation with both propionate and B/A (butyrate/acetate) in this substrate shift process.
