植物在硅生物地球化学循环过程中的作用

硅是地球上重要的矿质元素,在许多生物地球化学过程中起着重要作用。传统认为硅的循环主要受岩石风化、矿物溶解和水体沉积的影响。实际上,植物在硅的生物地球化学循环中起着重要作用。植物体本身就是一个相当大的硅库,它们能以无定型硅(SiO2.nH2O)的形式积累硅,称作生物硅(BSi)、植硅石或蛋白石。陆地植物每年以BSi的形式固定约1.68×109～5.60×109t的硅,通过枯枝落叶返回到土壤中的BSi有92.5%被植物再吸收,7.5%进入土壤库。陆地植物从土壤BSi库吸收的硅量远超过从岩石风化释放吸收的硅量,植物-土壤内循环的有效性强烈地影响着陆地生态系统中的硅向河流和海洋的输送。在海洋中,硅藻通过吸收、溶解和沉积在很大程度上影响着海洋里的硅循环,硅藻每年固定的硅约为5.60×109～7.84×109t,同样,在向海底沉积的过程中,97%的BSi重新被硅藻吸收,每年只有1.43×108～2.55×108t(约3%)沉积到海底。可见,植物在陆地生态系统和水生生态系统硅的循环中均起着非常重要的作用,研究硅的全球生物地球化学循环时必须考虑到植物的作用。

铁元素虽然只在地壳含量中位列第4,但却是地球上分布最广的变价金属元素之一,微生物介导的铁循环及其与生源要素碳、氮、氧和硫等耦合的氧化还原反应是微生物地球化学循环的重要驱动力.由于铁循环过程中氧化态三价铁Fe(Ⅲ)在环境p H条件下大多以不溶状态存在,因而由其参与的地球化学循环进程通常较为缓慢.研究表明,微生物在铁元素的地球化学循环过程中起着举足轻重的作用,并在该过程中参与矿物的生成与转化.近年来的最新研究发现,参与地球化学铁循环的微生物之间,微生物与矿物之间,以及矿物介导的微生物之间存在着多样的相互作用,而含铁矿物介导的微生物胞外电子传递机制是其中最受瞩目的研究热点.本文综述了微生物介导的地球化学铁循环过程的类型及其过程中的主导微生物,并针对铁还原过程中已知的微生物胞外电子传递机制做了介绍.文中涉及的微生物地球化学铁循环过程中的各种相互作用,已经成为相关研究领域的热点问题,最新研究结果将为进一步阐明微生物地球化学铁循环过程、机制及其环境效应提供重要的理论依据和研究基础.

Cycling of Beryllium and Carbon through hillslope soils in Iowa

Isotopes of Be and C were used to reconstruct loess accumulation,hillslope evolution, and agricultural modification in soils of western Iowa.While both elements are derived from additions by the atmosphere (via plants inthe case of carbon), the differences in element cycling allow erosional anddepositional processes to be separated from biochemical processing. Based on¹⁰Be, loess accumulation likely occurred simultaneously withhillslope degradation. Rates of loess accumulation declined five-fold betweenearly stages (late Pleistocene and early Holocene) and later stages (lateHolocene) of accumulation, but the absolute timing of accumulation requiresindependent dating methods. Based on ¹⁴C measurements, plant inputsand decomposition are significant near the surface, but below1–1.5 m carbon inputs are minimal and decompositionisnearly arrested. The amount of carbon below 1.5 m isconstant (0.1%) and is composed of soil organic matter that was buried byloess.Agricultural modification results in a dramatic redistribution of¹⁰Be through soil erosion and deposition. By contrast, theredistribution of soil organic matter is masked by the rapid cycling of Cthrough the topsoil as it continually decomposes and is replaced by plantinputs.

Coral-Associated Bacteria and Their Role in the Biogeochemical Cycling of Sulfur

Marine bacteria play a central role in the degradation of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) to dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and acrylic acid, DMS being critical to cloud formation and thereby cooling effects on the climate. High concentrations of DMSP and DMS have been reported in scleractinian coral tissues although, to date, there have been no investigations into the influence of these organic sulfur compounds on coral-associated bacteria. Two coral species, Montipora aequituberculata and Acropora millepora, were sampled and their bacterial communities were characterized by both culture-dependent and molecular techniques. Four genera, Roseobacter, Spongiobacter, Vibrio, and Alteromonas, which were isolated on media with either DMSP or DMS as the sole carbon source, comprised the majority of clones retrieved from coral mucus and tissue 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. Clones affiliated with Roseobacter sp. constituted 28% of the M. aequituberculata tissue libraries, while 59% of the clones from the A. millepora libraries were affiliated with sequences related to the Spongiobacter genus. Vibrio spp. were commonly isolated from DMS and acrylic acid enrichments and were also present in 16S rRNA gene libraries from coral mucus, suggesting that under “normal” environmental conditions, they are a natural component of coral-associated communities. Genes homologous to dddD, and dddL, previously implicated in DMSP degradation, were also characterized from isolated strains, confirming that bacteria associated with corals have the potential to metabolize this sulfur compound when present in coral tissues. Our results demonstrate that DMSP, DMS, and acrylic acid potentially act as nutrient sources for coral-associated bacteria and that these sulfur compounds are likely to play a role in structuring bacterial communities in corals, with important consequences for the health of both corals and coral reef ecosystems.Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is an organic sulfur compound implicated in the formation of clouds via its cleavage product dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and therefore has the potential to exert major cooling effects on climate (9, 38). The production of DMSP is mainly restricted to a few classes of marine macro- and microalgae (27, 68), with the main producers being phytoplankton species belonging to prymnesiophyte and dinoflagellate taxa (28, 62, 67). Recently, significant concentrations of DMSP and DMS have been recorded in association with animals that harbor symbiotic algae such as scleractinian corals and giant clams (7, 8, 68), raising questions about the role of coral reefs in sulfur cycling. The densities of symbiotic dinoflagellates (genus Symbiodinium, commonly known as zooxanthellae) in coral tissues are similar to those recorded for dinoflagellates in phytoplankton blooms (11, 68). Since dinoflagellates are among the most significant producers of DMSP and high intracellular concentrations of DMSP have been found in both cultured zooxanthellae (26) and scleractinian corals (6-8, 25), these observations suggest that endosymbiotic zooxanthellae have an integral role in sulfur cycling in oligotrophic reef waters.Most of the DMSP produced by planktonic dinoflagellates is exuded into the surrounding water, where it is degraded by bacteria via two possible pathways: the first one converts a large fraction (ca. 75%) of dissolved DMSP to methylmercaptopropionate, which is subsequently incorporated into the biomass of microbial cells (22, 27, 66). The second pathway transforms the remaining part of the dissolved DMSP to equimolar concentrations of DMS and acrylic acid (43, 66, 72). This metabolic pathway for DMSP degradation has been identified in the alphaproteobacterial species Sulfitobacter sp. and the enzyme involved (DMSP-dependent DMS lyase [DddL]) characterized (10). Another pathway for DMS formation (without production of acrylate) has been described for Marinomonas sp. and the gene responsible, dddD, identified. In addition, the protein DddR has been directly implicated in the regulation of the gene encoding DddD (66). The DMS produced by these enzymes are then released into the surrounding water (27). Prior to the 1980s, diffusion of supersaturated DMS from the oceans to the atmosphere was thought to be the major removal pathway of this compound from the oceans (35, 72). More recently, however, it has been estimated that between 50 and 80% of the DMS produced by DMSP-degrading bacteria is degraded directly by other types of bacteria (58, 59), although the populations and metabolic pathways involved in the degradation of DMS are still poorly understood.Coral-associated bacterial communities are known to be diverse and highly abundant (12, 30, 48, 49, 52). These dynamic communities exploit a number of habitats associated with corals, including mucus on coral surfaces (48), intracellular niches within coral tissues (3, 16, 45, 47, 52), spaces within coral skeletons (15, 51), and seawater surrounding corals (16, 61). Each of these habitats is believed to harbor different bacterial populations (4, 52). Despite high bacterial diversity, corals have been reported to harbor species-specific microbial communities for beneficial effects; however, their role in coral health is poorly understood (47-50). In coral reef environments, bacteria are dependent upon organic compounds produced by photoautotrophic organisms such as endosymbiotic zooxanthellae (48); therefore, photosynthates translocated to coral tissues and mucus may determine microbial communities closely associated with corals (48, 52). The high levels of DMSP and DMS produced by corals, coupled with the dependence of DMSP and DMS conversion on processes typically involving bacteria, suggest that corals are likely to harbor bacterial species involved in the cycling of these compounds. To investigate the potential of the organosulfur compound DMSP and its breakdown products, DMS and acrylic acid, to drive coral-associated microbial communities, we used these compounds as sole carbon sources to isolate bacteria from two coral species (Montipora aequituberculata and Acropora millepora) and then directly compared these microbial communities with coral-associated microbiota identified using culture-independent analyses. Genes implicated in the metabolism of DMSP were also characterized from isolated strains, confirming that bacteria associated with corals have the potential to metabolize organic sulfur compounds present in coral tissues.

Ultrahigh Nitrogen Doping of Carbon Nanosheets for High Capacity and Long Cycling Potassium Ion Storage

Potassium‐based energy storage devices (PESDs) are promising candidates for large‐scale energy storage applications owing to potassiums abundant in nature, the low standard redox potential (?2.93 V for K/K⁺ vs the standard hydrogen electrode) of potassium (K), and high ionic conductivity of K‐ion based electrolytes. However, lack of proper cathode and anode materials hinder practical applications of PESDs. In this work, carbon nanosheets doped with an ultrahigh content of nitrogen (22.7 at%) are successfully synthesized as an anode material for a K‐ion battery, which delivers a high capacity of 410 mAh g^?1 at a current density of 500 mA g^?1, which is the best result among the carbon based anodes for PESDs. Moreover, the battery exhibits an excellent cycling performance with a capacity retention of 70% after 3000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g^?1. In situ Raman, galvanostatic intermittent titration, and density functional theory calculations reveal that the ultrahigh N‐doped carbon nanosheet (UNCN) simultaneously combines the diffusion and pseudocapacitive mechanisms together, which remarkably improves its electrochemical performances in K‐ion storage. These results demonstrate the good potential of UNCNs as a high‐performance anode for PESDs.
