Cellulose in wastewater was converted into H2 by a mixed culture in batch experiments at 55°C with various wastewaters pH (5.5–8.5) and cellulose concentrations (10–40 g l–1). At the optimal pH of 6.5, the maximum H2 yield was 102 ml g–1 cellulose and the maximum production rate was 287 ml d–1 for each gram of volatile suspended solids (VSS). Analysis of 16S rDNA sequences showed that the cellulose-degrading mixed culture was composed of microbes closely affiliated to genus Thermoanaerobacterium.  相似文献

Concentrations of heavy metals commonly known to impact the environment and other related trace elements were quantified in the water bodies of nine Ethiopian rift-valley lakes and six rivers (their inflows) as well as in effluents from two factories. In about half of the samples the concentrations of As was 10–700 g l–1 and Se, ranged from 10 to 28 g l–1, were much higher than the maximum permissible level (MPL) according to international standards for drinking water. Mercury (Hg) was detected in four lakes and one river with high values ranging from 2 to 165 g l–1. Concentrations of Mo in three soda lakes were as high as 544–2590 g l–1. Iron (Fe) was found in high concentrations (567–4969 g l–1) in three lakes, which are known to be discolored from inorganic colloids. Levels of Cd, Pb, and Cr ranged between 5 and 9, 12 and 20 and 104 and 121 g l–1, respectively. The rest of the heavy metals analyzed, Ba, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn, were either not detected in the samples or were found in much lower concentrations than the MPL for drinking water. Effluent from a tannery contained about 15, 141, 523, and 19 g l–1 of As, Cr, Fe, and Se, respectively, and effluent from a textile factory contained high concentrations of As (10.6), Hg (3.8) and Se (20) g l–1. Compared to more industrialized regions and other African lakes the concentrations of heavy metals in Ethiopian rift-valley lakes (with the exception of the soda lakes) and their inflows were low.  相似文献

In order to evaluate the ability of the freshwater bivalve Potomida littoralis for use as a biodetector of aquatic pollution, the short-term effects of some pollutants (metals, antifouling product and effluents) on pumping activity of this mussel were studied qualitatively (pumping behaviour) and quantitatively (filtration rate). The method of the flow sensing at the exhalent siphon showed that the normal activity of P. littoralis was characterized by a continuous pattern of pumping with occasional and brief interruptions. When exposed to toxic stress, the exhalent flow immediately shifted to an intermittent pattern with periods of pumping alternating with periods of pause that could last several minutes. The threshold concentrations of heavy metals/antifouling agent inducing this type of activity within 2 h were: 25 g l–1 for copper, 90 g l–1 for cadmium, 5 g l–1 for mercury, 3000 g l–1 for zinc and 700 g l–1 for the antifouling agent Mexel. Both the effluent samples of the urban wastewater of Marrakech city tested were found to be toxic.The filtration rate of control animals ranged from 0.91 to 1.72 l h–1 g–1 animal, while after 3 h exposure to Cu, Cd, Hg and the effluent E1 and E2, filtration rates were decreased by concentrations above the threshold levels set as toxic for the pumping activity.The sensitivity of P. littoralis to pollution and its usefulness as biodetector for rapid toxicity screening is discussed and a procedure for the detection of pollution in Moroccan freshwater is proposed.  相似文献

The optimal growth of Cistanche deserticola callus and formation of phenylethanoid glycosides (PeG) was at 25°C with light irradiation intensity of 24 mol m–2 s–1 on solidified B5 media supplemented with 0.5 mg 6-benzylaminopurine l–1, 10 mg gibberellin l–1, 800 mg casein hydrolysate l–1 and 20 g sucrose l–1. After 30 d culture, the biomass reached 15.5 g dry wt callus l–1 medium and its PEG content was 10.7% (w/w). The PeG content was 42%–127% higher than those in explants.  相似文献

Removal of inorganic nitrogen sources by cells of the aerial microalga Trentepohlia aurea grown on the surface of substrate, such as filter paper, has been investigated in a batch system. When the alga grew on the paper dampened with medium, it actively ingested inorganic nitrogenous compounds in the medium. Immobilized cells on the filter papers were called algal biofilm in this study. When the algal biofilms were soaked in modified Bold's Basal medium (using 1 g NH4Cl l–1 as a N source), the removal rate was 4.25 mg ammonium-N l–1 day–1 in 40 days. In modified medium with added 26 mg nitrite-N, the removal rate of the total inorganic N ion by the biofilms reached 5.11 mg N l–1 day–1. This removal rate of total N ion was higher than that in the medium by addition of 26 mg nitrate-N. In addition, we tried to examine simultaneous removal of ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite ions and growth inhibition of cyanobacteria in the medium by using the algal biofilms. Consequently, it was demonstrated that the algal biofilms of T. aurea could be utilized as a biofunctional material for the purification of wastewater.  相似文献

The effects of eight microelements (I, BO3 3–, MoO4 2–, Co2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Zn2+) on the biosynthesis of camptothecin and the growth of suspension cultures of Camptotheca acuminata were studied. The increase of I to 25 M l–1, Cu2+ to 1 M l–1, Co2+ to 2 M l–1 and MoO4 2– to 10 M l–1 in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium resulted in 1.66, 2.84, 2.53 and 2.04 times higher of camptothecin yield than that in standard MS medium respectively. Combined treatment of I (25 M l–1), Cu2+ (1 M l–1), Co2+ (2 M l–1) and MoO4 2– (10 M l–1) lead to improve cell dry weight, camptothecin content, and camptothecin yield to 30.56 g l–1, 0.0299%, and 9.15 mg l–1, respectively, which were 20.2, 208.9 and 273.8% increment respectively when compared with those of control.  相似文献

Isolated embryos ofKarwinskia humboldtiana were cultured in vitro. The growth of embryos and development to plantlets on woody plant medium supplemented with indole-3-acetic acid 6.10-2 mol l–1, gibberellic acid (GA3) 3.10-2 mol l–1, and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) 2 mol l–1 was obtained. Multiplication of shoots and rooting of excised shoots has been achieved. Callus formation on modified Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid 10 mol l–1, GA3 14 mol l–1, and kinetin 5 mol l–1 on hypocotyls, or on root cultures on medium supplemented with 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid 10 mol l–1 and BA 10 mol l–1 was induced.Abbreviations BA 6-benzylaminopurine - 2,4-d 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GA3 gibberellic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - TEM transmission electron microscopy  相似文献

Cell suspension cultures of Taxus chinensis, supplemented with 25 g sucrose l–1, produced 11 mg cephalomanine l–1, 21 g biomass l–1 and 19 nkat geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) synthase activity g protein–1. Supplementation of the cultures with 100 M methyl jasmonate (MJA) produced 17 mg cephalomanine l–1, 6 g biomass l–1 and 78 nkat GGPP synthase activity g protein–1. Addition of sucrose and MJA together produced 24 mg cephalomanine l–1, 18 g biomass l–1 and 55 nkat GGPP synthase activity g protein–1.  相似文献

The effect of lead on the filtration rate of the zebra musselDreissena polymorpha was investigated, together with the accumulation of Pb in the soft tissues of the mussels. The NOEC-filtration was 116 g.l–1 (0,56 mol.l–1) and the EC50-filtration was 370 g.l–1 (1.79 mol.l–1). The NOEC-accumulation was the concentration found in the control water (1.4g.l–1). These experiments show that the EC50-filtration for Pb is similar to that for Cd, higher than that for Cu and lower than that for Zn. The water quality criteria for lead allow 25 g Pb.l–1 in surface water. This will not cause short-term effects. Long-term effects may, however, occur, since an accumulation of Pb as low as 16 g.l–1 was recorded in this study.  相似文献

Plant cell cultures of Peganum harmala converted geranyl acetate to geraniol. Although the reaction started immediately after feeding, there was disappearance of both product and substrate. Geranyl acetate at 100 mg l–1 when fed to 100 ml Peganum harmala suspensions (16% packed cell volume) was completely used within 24 h without accumulation of any product. Similarly, linalyl acetate and its biotransformation products, linalool and -terpineol, disappeared. Controlled-release polymer discs made from poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and containing concentrations of geranyl acetate or linalyl acetate produced greatly extended concentrations of these substrates and their biotransformation products (from about 1 day to over 12 days). The concentrations of substrates remained at around 5 mg l–1throughout the experiments, while the concentrations of biotransformation products increased from 10 mg l–1to 55.5 mg l–1 for geraniol, from 5 mg l–1 to 14 mg l–1 for linalool, and 5 mg l–1 to 12 mg l–1 for -terpineol compared to the control value. Also low concentrations (30–200 g/disc) of product were taken up by the polymer over 10 days.  相似文献

Pesticides and heavy metals in Danish streambed sediment   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Kronvang  B.  Laubel  A.  Larsen  S. E.  Friberg  N. 《Hydrobiologia》2003,494(1-3):93-101
The role of streambed sediment as a sink for pesticides and heavy metals was investigated in 30 Danish lowland streams. The investigated streams drain catchments varying in hydrology, topography, soil type and land use. The <250 m newly accumulated fraction of the uppermost 1–2 cm layer of streambed sediment was analysed for 19 old and modern pesticides and 9 heavy metals. DDE was present in the sediment of all the streams. Of the herbicides, fungicides and insecticides currently in use, the most frequently detected was diuron (50.0%), fenpropimorph (66.7%) and lambda-cyhalothrin (6.7%), respectively. The pesticides detected in the highest concentration were fenpropimorph (1700 ng g–1), propiconazole (130 ng g–1) and isoproturon (110 ng g–1). The heavy metals are listed in order of increasing median concentration: Cd (0.80 g g–1), Co (9.1 g g–1), As (12.0 g g–1), Ni (19.0 g g–1), Cr (19.2 g g–1), Pb (19.7 g g–1), Cu (20.1 g g–1), V (28.5 g g–1), Zn (103 g g–1). The average number of pesticides detected in the 27 streams draining predominantly agricultural catchments was (3.7±2.0) being higher (p=0.077) than in the three streams draining non-agricultural catchments (1.7±0.6). Pesticides were significantly related to catchment size, soil type and hydrological regime. Several heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Pb, V and Zn) were related to urban activity and soil type.  相似文献

Viable protoplasts of Vigna sublobata L. were isolated enzymatically from hypocotyls of axenic seedlings. Protoplast yields were dependent upon seedling age, with maximum yields (2.25 ± 0.35 × 106 g fwt–1) from seedlings aged 6 d. Protoplasts regenerated cell walls and underwent sustained divisions when cultured in either agarose-solidified or liquid K8P medium. The plating density affected the division frequency and plating efficiency; the division frequency (68 ±0 6.0%) was maximum at 4.0 × 104 ml–1 while plating efficiency was maximum (1.3 ± 0.1%) at 5.0 × 104 ml–1. Dividing protoplasts developed into microcalli, which produced glossy green compact nodular calli on transfer to 8.0 gl–1 w/v agar-solidified medium containing MS salts, B5 organic components, 30 g l–1 sucrose, NAA (0.2–0.5 mg l–1), zeatin riboside (0.5–2.0 mg l–1) and GA3 (0.5–1.0 mg l–1). These calli, after sub-culture on the same medium, produced shoot buds which underwent elongation following transfer of tissues to 6.0 g l–1 agar-solidified B5 medium containing 30g l–1 sucrose, IBA (0.01 mg l–1) and BAP (1.0 mg l–1). Elongated shoots developed roots after transfer to 8.0g l–1 agar-solidified, hormone-free MS medium with 30 g l–1 sucrose.Abbreviations IAA indole-3-acetic acid - IBA indole-3-butyric acid - BAP 6-benzyladenine or benzylaminopurine - B5 medium after Gamborg et al (1968) - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GA3 gibberellic acid - 2,i-P 6-(--dimethylallylamino) purine - MS medium after Murashige and Skoog (1962) - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid  相似文献

Synopsis Arsenic persists in Chautauqua Lake, New York waters 13 years after cessation of herbicide (sodium arsenite) application and continues to cycle within the lake. Arsenic concentrations in lake water ranged from 22.4–114.81 g l–1, = 49.0 ag l–1. Well water samples generally contained less than 10 g l–1 arsenic. Arsenic concentrations in lake water exceeded U.S. Public Health Service recommended maximum concentrations (10 g l–1) and many samples exceeded the maximum permissible limit (50 g l–1). Fish accumulated arsenic from water but did not magnify it. Fish to water arsenic ratios ranged from 0.4–41.6. Black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) contained the highest arsenic concentrations (0.14–2.04 g g–1 ), X = 0.7 g g–1) while perch (Perca flavescens), muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) contained the lowest concentrations (0.02–0.13 g g–1). Arsenic concentrations in fish do not appear to pose a health hazard for human consumers.  相似文献

Hydrodictyon reticulatum (L.) Lagerh. is a recent addition to the New Zealand flora and is expanding its distribution rapidly. Proliferations of the alga now constitute an economic nuisance in waters which have not previously suffered filamentous algal blooms. To better understand the current and likely future spread of the alga and to identify possible management options the alga's growth requirements have been investigated. A strain isolated from New Zealand tolerated temperatures between 5 and 40 °C and salinities from 0 to 5. Optimal growth was at 25 °C, 150 mol photon m–2s–1 and in freshwater. Nett photosynthesis was saturated at photon flux densities of 100 and 160 mol m–2s–1 at 12 and 20 °C, respectively. Growth rate was linearly related to internal N concentration and hyperbolically to internal P concentration. Minimum cellular nutrient contents, by weight, were 1% N and 0.2% P. Growth was saturated at contents of 5% N and 0.5% P under the conditions of culture (20 °C, 150 mol photon m–2s–1). The alga maintained optimal cellular N content at low ambient nitrate concentrations (100 mg m–3) half optimum content at 18 mg m–3. Affinity for filtrable reactive phosphorus was not unusually high compared to other filamentous algae. We suggest that this alga is occupying a niche in New Zealand which has been precluded from other filamentous nuisance algae by low N concentration and N:P ratio. The significance of these findings in setting environmental targets for management of this nuisance alga is discussed.Author for correspondence  相似文献

Certain yeast cells on solid nutrient medium produced colonies surrounded by a light zone of selenite absorption. This screening procedure resulted in the selection of 22 strains out of 200 isolates with different Se4+-absorbing capacity ranging from 16 to 98.8 g Se4+ g–1 l–1 h–1. The highest rate of Se4+ elimination from the Na2SeO3 solution was observed with an oval shaped, cream pigmented fermentative yeast, tentatively called Candida sp. strain MS4. This strain was isolated from wastewater and found to accumulate selenium oxyanions. Se4+ uptake involved both inactive and active phenomena. The amounts of selenium (initial concentration 2 mg Se4+ l–1) removed from aqueous solution by inactive and active phenomena were 667 g Se4+ g–1 l–1, and 1580 g Se4+ g–1 l–1, respectively. The strain also removed selenate inactively (135 g Se6+ g–1 l–1).  相似文献

Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) somatic embryogenesis initiation was improved by supplementing the initiation medium with the pH buffer agent 2(n-morpholino)ethanesulphonic acid (MES) at 250 mg l–1, folic acid at 0.5 mg l1, and biotin at 0.05 mg l–1. MES and vitamins increased the percentage of explants with extruded tissue that continued the initiation process to form embryogenic tissue. The increase in initiation was about 12%. Initiation of 12 open-pollinated families averaged 38.5%, which is 16% higher than initiation on medium without these additives. When tested with 18 control-pollinated families, initiation averaged 26.3%. Basal medium contained a combination of modified 1/2 P6 salts, activated carbon (AC) at 50 mg –1, Cu and Zn adjusted to compensate for adsorption by AC, 1.5% maltose, 2% myo-inositol, 500 mg l–1 casamino acids, 450 mg l–1 glutamine, 2 mg l–1 NAA, 0.63 mg l–1 BAP, 0.61 mg l–1 kinetin, 3.4 mg l–1 silver nitrate, 10 M 8-Br-cGMP, 0.1 M brassinolide, and 2 g l–1 Gelrite. Early-stage embryo growth and initiation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) were also improved in the presence of these additives.  相似文献

Functional expression and production of human H-ferritin in Pichia pastoris   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Human heavy chain ferritin (H-ferritin) was cloned from human heart cDNA library and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The H-ferritin transformant was cultivated by fed-batch and the cell mass reached about 52 g cell dry wt l–1 after 150 h. In atomic absorption spectrometry analysis, intracellular content of iron in H-ferritin transformant was measured to 3038 ± 72 g g–1 which was 9.6-fold more than that of control strain.  相似文献

The kinetics of amylolytic enzyme formation by a yeast cell wall lytic Arthrobacter species were studied. Cultivation on autoclaved cells of baker's yeast showed that amylase formation was closely related to trehalose and glycogen dissimilation. Growth on yeast glycogen (0.5%) proceeded quite rapidly ( = 0.31 h–1) with extensive amylase formation during exponential cell multiplication and a further low increase in activity during the stationary phase. Beside amylolytic activity [450 units (U) l–1] the formation of a relatively high level of -glucosidase (90 U l–1) was detected, the latter almost exclusively bound to bacterial cells. Growth on 0.5% trehalose occurred at a reduced rate ( = 0.22 h–1) with post-logarithmic enzyme synthesis in the stationary phase. Amylase activity attained a level of 1200 U l–1, whereas -glucosidase was very low at 7.7 U l–1. Continuous culture experiments in the chemostat showed maximal volumetric productivity of amylase (105 U l–1 h–1) at a dilution rate of 0.15 h–1. Growth on various carbohydrates revealed low levels of amylolytic activity (<100 U l–1), which were increased by a -1,4-glucans and oligosaccharides such as starch, dextrin, maltotriose and maltose. On 0.5% maltose, growth-associated enzyme synthesis (230 U l–1) was detected at a reduced growth rate ( = 0.14 h–1). Amylolytic enzyme preparations from the culture fluid showed an unusual cleavage pattern; acting on starch, the polymer was almost completely hydrolysed to maltotriose and maltose in a molar ratio of 3:1.Correspondence to: W.

Degradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons by Burkholderia cepacia 2A-12   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
A new strain of bacterium degrading polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), Burkholderia cepacia 2A-12, was isolated from oil-contaminated soil. Of three PAHs, the isolated strain could utilize naphthalene (Nap) and phenanthrene (Phe) as a sole carbon source but not pyrene (Pyr). However, the strain could degrade Pyr when a cosubstrate such as yeast extract (YE) was supplemented. The PAH degradation rate of the strain was enhanced by the addition of other organic materials such as YE, peptone, glucose, and sucrose. YE was a particularly effective additive in stimulating cell growth as well as PAH degradation. When 1 g YE l–1, an optimum concentration, was supplemented into the basal salt medium (BSM) with 215 mg Phe l–1, the specific growth rate (0.30 h–1) and Phe-degrading rate (29.6 mol l–1 h–1) were enhanced approximately ten and three times more than those obtained in the BSM with 215 mg Phe l–1, respectively. Both cell growth and PAH degradation rates were increased with increasing Phe and Pyr concentrations, and B. cepacia 2A-12 had a tolerance against Phe and Pyr toxicity at the high concentration of 730–760 mg l–1. Through kinetic analysis, the maximum specific growth rate ( max) and PAH degrading rate ( max) for Phe were obtained as 0.39 h–1 and 300 mol l–1 h–1, respectively. Also, max and max for Pyr were 0.27 h–1 and 52 mol l–1 h–1, respectively. B. cepacia 2A-12 could simultaneously degrade crude oil as well as PAHs, indicating that this bacterium is very useful for the removal of oils and PAHs contaminants.  相似文献

The production of extracellular enzymes by the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus was studied in chemostat cultures at a dilution rate of 0.08 h–1 in relation to variation in the ammonium concentration in the feed medium. Under steady state conditions, three growth regimes were recognised and the production of several extracellular enzymes from T. lanuginosus was recorded under different nutrient limitations ranging from nitrogen limitation to carbon/energy limitation. The range and the production of carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes and lipase increased from Regime I (NH4Cl 600 mg l–1) to Regime III (NH4CI 1200 mg l–1), whereas production of protease was highest in Regime II (600 mg l–1 < NH4Cl <1200 mg l–1).  相似文献
