功能基因在反硝化菌群生态学研究中的应用

具有反硝化功能的微生物分布非常广泛,与系统分化无关,因此16SrRNA不适合分析环境中的反硝化群落。目前,利用功能基因分析环境样品中的反硝化群落成为研究热点。本文介绍了反硝化过程的分子生物学基础,比较了环境样品中反硝化菌群落结构的分子生物学手段,简述了目前环境样品中反硝化菌群落研究的主要内容,并探讨了该领域研究的不足及展望。虽然到目前为止,群落结构和功能的关系还未建立,但反硝化菌群落的研究必将为应用反硝化菌解决环境问题提供基础数据。

溴甲烷熏蒸对土壤反硝化作用及nosZ型反硝化微生物群落结构的影响

【目的】探究溴甲烷熏蒸对土壤反硝化作用的影响及机制。【方法】本研究采用nos Z-PCR-RFLP(Restriction fragment length polymorphism)方法、nos Z-MPN-PCR(Most-Probable-Number-PCR)计数法和土壤硝酸根的消灭率方法研究溴甲烷熏蒸对土壤nos Z型反硝化细菌群落结构、数量及反硝化活性的影响。【结果】实验结果说明溴甲烷熏蒸剂熏蒸土壤100 d土壤的反硝化作用与对照无显著差异(P>0.05)。溴甲烷熏蒸土壤和对照土样nos Z型反硝化细菌群落的Margalef指数,Shannon-Wiener和Evenness指数无显著差异(P>0.05)。溴甲烷熏蒸土壤和对照土壤中存在Uncultured bacterium partial rhodopsendomonas、pseudomonas fluorescens、Herbacspirillum、Mesorhizobium和Bradyrhizobium,并且此6种微生物均是试验土样和对照土样的优势种群;对照土壤中检测到Azospirillum、Rhizobium melibei和Nitrosospira multiformis,在溴甲烷熏蒸土壤中未检测到;而溴甲烷熏蒸土壤中检测到Uncultured Azospirillum,Mesorhizobium在对照土壤中未检测到。通过nos Z-MPN-PCR计数法得出反硝化细菌数量比对照低1.4倍。【结论】说明溴甲烷熏蒸100d土壤的nos Z型反硝化微生物群落组成和反硝化细菌数量发生变化,而土壤的反硝化作用与对照无显著差异。     

人工遮光和营养添加对河流反硝化活性和反硝化细菌群落结构的影响

河流生态系统受到人类活动例如河岸带森林植被毁损和农业活动施肥等的干扰日益加剧,而这些活动使河流接收的光照增多、河流的氮磷营养盐浓度增加。微生物的反硝化作用是河流去除氮的有效途径。在汉江的一级支流金水河上游核心保护区内选取6条溪流开展野外控制实验,利用营养添加模拟河流中营养的增加,遮盖河面来模拟源头溪流的隐蔽状态,来研究河流沉积物中微生物的反硝化作用对光照和营养改变的响应,并利用高通量测序(Mi Seq)技术研究在两种处理下河流沉积物中nir S型反硝化细菌的群落结构变化。结果显示:营养元素添加促进了沉积物的反硝化活性,河面遮盖抑制了沉积物的反硝化活性。营养添加和遮盖两种处理均降低了控制实验区域内脱氯单胞菌属(优势菌属)的相对丰度,同时也降低了该区域nir S型反硝化菌群落的Chao多样性。本研究初步证实了光照增加和河流的营养增加提高了河流沉积物反硝化活性,并为提高河流的脱氮能力提供科学依据。     

Development and application of a novel and effective screening method for aerobic denitrifying bacteria

Herein we describe a novel and effective screening method for aerobic denitrifying bacteria. For this procedure, we utilized KCN to inhibit the electron transference from Cytaa3 to oxygen in the bacteria respiratory chain. We employed a 3-h aeration operation cycle and intermittent rotations. The resultant bacterial suspensions were plated on a KCN-screening medium and incubated aerobically. Single colonies were selected and incubated in an aerobic culture medium. Culture nitrate and nitrite levels were determined over time, and ultimately four bacterial strains that performed denitrifying under aerobic conditions were identified by this method. Of these, strain Y2-1-1 demonstrated the best aerobic denitrifying ability. In a 5-day test, the NO3--N of the aerobic culture medium was reduced from 282.0+/-8.3 mg L(-1) to 149.2+/-17.1 mg L(-1), with little nitrite or N2O production. The morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and the 16S rRNA gene sequence homology comparison data for this strain were consistent with the classification of the genus Pseudomonas. We named this strain Pseudomonas sp. Y2-1-1.

Biodegradation of methyl <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-butyl ether by aerobic granules under a cosubstrate condition

Aerobic granules efficient at degrading methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) with ethanol as a cosubstrate were successfully developed in a well-mixed sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Aerobic granules were first observed about 100 days after reactor startup. Treatment efficiency of MTBE in the reactor during stable operation exceeded 99.9%, and effluent MTBE was in the range of 15–50 μg/L. The specific MTBE degradation rate was observed to increase with increasing MTBE initial concentration from 25 to 500 mg/L, which peaked at 22.7 mg MTBE/g (volatile suspended solids)·h and declined with further increases in MTBE concentration as substrate inhibition effects became significant. Microbial-community deoxyribonucleic acid profiling was carried out using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid. The reactor was found to be inhabited by several diverse bacterial species, most notably microorganisms related to the genera Sphingomonas, Methylobacterium, and Hyphomicrobium vulgare. These organisms were previously reported to be associated with MTBE biodegradation. A majority of the bands in the reactor represented a group of organisms belonging to the Flavobacteria–Proteobacteria–Actinobacteridae class of bacteria. This study demonstrates that MTBE can be effectively degraded by aerobic granules under a cosubstrate condition and gives insight into the microorganisms potentially involved in the process.     

Bacterial community structure and bamA gene diversity in anaerobic degradation of toluene and benzoate under denitrifying conditions

Aim: To characterize the microbial community structure and bamA gene diversity involved in anaerobic degradation of toluene and benzoate under denitrifying conditions. Methods and Results: Nitrate‐reducing enrichment cultures were established on either toluene, benzoate or without additional substrate. Bacterial community structures were characterized by 16S rRNA gene–based PCR‐DGGE analysis. bamA gene diversity was analysed using DGGE and cloning methods. The results showed that bamA gene related to bamA of Thauera chlorobenzoica was dominant in toluene and benzoate cultures. However, a greater diversity of sequences was obtained in benzoate cultures. Low diversity of bamA gene was observed, and some similarities of bamA were also found between active cultures and backgrounds, suggesting that potential natural attenuation of aromatic compounds might occur. Conclusions: The combined analysis of 16S rRNA and bamA genes suggests that the species related to genera Thauera dominated toluene‐ and benzoate‐degrading cultures. The combination of multiple methods (DGGE and cloning) provides a more complete picture of bamA gene diversity. Significance and Impact of the Study: To our knowledge, this is the first report of bamA gene in denitrifying enrichments using DGGE and cloning analysis.

Community structures and activities of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria in industrial wastewater-treating biofilms

The bacterial community structure, in situ spatial distributions and activities of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria in biofilms treating industrial wastewater were investigated by combination of the 16S rRNA gene clone analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and microelectrodes. These results were compared with the nitrogen removal capacity of the industrial wastewater treatment plant (IWTP). Both nitrification and denitrification occurred in the primary denitrification (PD) tank and denitrification occurred in the secondary denitrification (SD) tank. In contrast, nitrification and denitrification rates were very low in the nitrification (N) tank. 16S rRNA gene clone sequence analysis revealed that the bacteria affiliated with Alphaproteobacteria, followed by Betaproteobacteria, were numerically important microbial groups in three tanks. The many clones affiliated with Alphaproteobacteria were closely related to the denitrifying bacteria (e.g., Hyphomicrobium spp., Rhodopseudomonas palustris, and Rhodobacter spp.). In addition, Methylophilus leisingeri affiliated with Betaproteobacteria, which favorably utilized methanol, was detected only in the SD-tank to which methanol was added. Nitrosomonas europaea and Nitrosomonas marina were detected as the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria affiliated with Betaproteobacteria throughout this plant, although the dominant species of them was different among three tanks. Nitrifying bacteria were mainly detected in the upper parts of the PD-biofilm whereas their populations were low in the upper parts of the N-biofilm. The presence of denitrifying bacteria affiliated with Hyphomicrobium spp. in SD- and N-biofilms was verified by FISH analysis. Microelectrode measurements showed that the nitrifying bacteria present in the N- and PD-biofilms were active and the bacteria present in the SD-biofilm could denitrify.
