用2％海藻酸钠与l％明胶混合为包埋剂固定啤酒酵母废菌体。SEM、X-射线能谱和TEN研究结果表明,该固定化啤酒酵母废菌体(ISCWB)颗粒中的菌体分布较均匀,ISCWB不仅能吸附Pd^2 ,而且能将Pd^2 还原成Pd^0。ISCWB吸附Pd^2 的最适pH值为3．5。在30℃～70℃范围内,吸附作用不受温度的影响。吸附作用是一个较快的过程,在最初的5min内吸附量可达最大吸附量的36％。吸附作用受ISCWB浓度、Pd^2 起始浓度和共存离子的影响。在起始Pd^2 浓度100mg/L,ISCWB浓度1．8g/L、pH3．5和30℃条件下振荡吸附90min,吸附量为40．6mg/g.以0．5mol／L盐酸作为解吸剂解吸率达98．7％。连续吸附与解吸附试验结果表明,ISCWB的最大饱和吸附量为46．3mg/g,解吸率为98％。     

溶菌酶与α-MnO2间的界面吸附作用

研究了溶菌酶（LSZ）与α-MnO2的界面吸附作用及其影响因素。结果表明,体系pH值是影响LSZ在α-MnO2表面吸附、脱附的重要因素。在pH3.8～10.8范围内,LSZ的吸附率随着体系pH值的升高而大致呈上升趋势。在较低pH值范围内（pH〈7.1）,LSZ的脱附率随pH的升高增幅较大;在较高pH值范围内（pH〉7.1）,LSZ的脱附率则随pH的升高而略微下降。但是,LSZ自α-MnO2表面的脱附率在各pH值下均处于较低水平,吸附反应具有较高的不可逆性。LSZ在α-MnO2表面的吸附率随离子强度的增大而增大,然而Na^＋、Ca^2＋和Mg^2＋3种离子对LSZ吸附率的影响没有差别。LSZ的等温吸附曲线符合Langmuir吸附方程式,形状呈L型。FTIR进一步证明,α-MnO2表面的确有LSZ分子吸附;吸附态LSZ分子的空间构象发生了改变。     

红壤中镉在有机酸作用下的解吸行为

采用平衡批处理法,研究了3种有机酸及其两两混合液在序列pH值梯度下（pH 3.0～7.0）对华南山地红壤Cd解吸行为的影响.结果表明,草酸与苹果酸不利于Cd的解吸,反而促进了吸附,其中草酸只是在较高浓度(20 mmol·L^-1)且土壤溶液pH＞5.0时促进解吸.随着pH值升高,草s酸、苹果酸以及不含有机酸的对照溶液对红壤中Cd的解吸率都快速下降.柠檬酸在pH＜5.0时不利于Cd解吸;在pH＞5.0时显著促进Cd解吸,但两种浓度柠檬酸解吸特征有所不同,在低浓度(2 mmol·L^-1)下对镉的解吸率呈降低-升高-降低变化,在高浓度(20 mmol·L^-1)下呈降低-升高变化.在低pH条件下（pH 3.0、4.0）,苹果酸最有利于Cd的解吸,但3种酸对Cd解吸率差别不大,在较高pH条件下(pH 5.0～7.0),柠檬酸最有利于解吸,且解吸率大大高于草酸与苹果酸.有机酸混合没有明显的交互作用,对Cd的解吸率介于相应单独有机酸之间.     

粘虫颗粒体病毒对苏云金杆菌的增效特性及对Bt毒蛋白的降解活化作用

以小菜蛾Plutella xylostella为试虫,采用生物测定方法测定了粘虫颗粒体病毒（Pseudaletia unipuncta granulosis virus,PuGV-Ps）对苏云金杆菌（Bacillus thuringiensis,Bt）的增效作用。结果表明：不同配伍PuGV-Ps和Bt间的共毒系数在105.3至195.0之间, PuGV-Ps对Bt毒力具有增强作用,其中以Bt∶PuGV-Ps为4∶1增效作用最明显,72 h LC₅₀为0.039 mg/mL。不同温度和pH值都影响PuGV-Ps对Bt的增效作用,16℃～20℃增效程度明显高于24℃～32℃,而碱性条件下（pH 8～9）增效作用更显著。PuGV-Ps对Bt的增效作用因小菜蛾龄期不同而变化,2、3龄幼虫死亡率较单独使用Bt分别提高了50%和30.31%,而作用于低龄（1龄）和高龄（4龄）幼虫时对Bt的增效作用不显著。PuGV-Ps饲喂2 h后再接毒Bt,小菜蛾死亡率明显提高,48 h死亡率达66.67％,较直接饲喂Bt+PuGV-Ps处理死亡率提高了53.87％,差异极显著。SDS-PAGE表明PuGV-Ps具有碱性蛋白酶的活性,离体条件下能促进δ-内毒素酶解为47 kD,60 kD和61 kD的毒性肽。     

上覆水性质对沉积物吸附有机污染物能力的影响

采用正交实验法研究了温度、pH、离子强度和溶解性有机质(DOC)对沉积物吸附菲和五氯酚(PCP)能力的影响.结果表明,上覆水温度和pH对个别沉积物的吸附能力有显著影响,其他因素及交互作用对菲和PCP的吸附无显著影响.沉积物对菲的吸附能力随温度升高而降低,对PCP在中温(20℃)时最小.pH对菲的吸附无显著影响,PCP的吸附量随pH升高而降低.DOC升高微弱地降低了菲和PCP的吸附,离子强度升高使PCP的吸附有微弱升高.沉积物对有机污染物的吸附能力主要由沉积物和有机污染物性质决定,受上覆水性质影响较小.

Adsorption and anti-ultraviolet light characteristics of the protoxin from Bacillus thuringiensis on montmorillonite,kaolinite, zinc oxide and rectorite

The adsorption, desorption and anti-ultraviolet light characteristics of the protoxin from Bacillus thuringiensis strain WG-001 on montmorillonite, kaolinite, zinc oxide and rectorite were studied. The protoxin was easily adsorbed onto minerals and the adsorption reached equilibrium within 0.5–1.0 h (except for rectorite). The adsorption isotherms of protoxin at different concentrations in sodium carbonate buffer (pH 9) followed the Langmuir (R ² >0.97) and Freundlich (R ² >0.95) equations. The maximum amounts of protoxin adsorbed were in the order: montmorillonite>rectorite>znic oxide>kaolinite. In the range of pH from 9 to 11 (carbonate buffer), the protoxin adsorbed decreased with increasing pH. The adsorption was not significantly affected by the temperature between 5 and 45°C. Both free and adsorbed protoxin were toxic to larvae of Heliothis armigera. The LC₅₀ value of free and adsorbed protoxin on montmorillonite, rectorite, zinc oxide and kaolinite were 14±1.16, 1.76±0.31, 2.94±0.71, 4.78±2.08 and 1.91±0.91 µg mL^?1, respectively. After 1 h of ultraviolet irradiation, the LC₅₀ of the above samples increased by 41.4, 19.3, 16.3, 125.9 and 62.3%, respectively. The desorption of adsorbed protoxin in water ranged from 30.1 to 64.9% and from 18.5 to 48.7% in carbonate buffer.     

Binding of the protoxin and toxin proteins ofBacillus thuringiensis subsp.kurstaki on clay minerals

The equilibrium adsorption and binding of the delta-endotoxin proteins, i.e., the protoxins (M_r=132 kDa) and toxins (M_r=66 kDa), fromBacillus thuringiensis subsp.kurstaki were greater on montmorillonite than on kaolinite (five-fold more protoxin and three-fold more toxin were adsorbed on montmorillonite). Approximately two- to three-fold more toxin than protoxin was adsorbed on these clay minerals. Maximum adsorption occurred within 30 min (the shortest interval measured), and adsorption was not significantly affected by temperatures between 7° and 50°C. The proteins were more easily desorbed from kaolinite than from montmorillonite; they could not be desorbed from montmorillonite with water or 0.2% Na₂CO₃, but they could be removed with Tris-SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) buffer. Adsorption was higher at low pH and decreased as the pH increased. Adsorption on kaolinite was also dependent on the ionic nature of the buffers. The molecular mass of the proteins was unaltered after adsorption on montmorillonite, as shown by SDS-PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) of the desorbed proteins; no significant modifications occurred in their structure as the result of binding on the clay, as indicated by infrared analysis; and there was no significant expansion of the clay by the proteins, as shown by x-ray diffraction analysis. The bound proteins appeared to retain their insecticidal activity against the third instar larvae ofTrichoplusia ni.     

Effects of Temperature,pH and Salt Concentrations on the Adsorption of Bacillus subtilis on Soil Clay Minerals Investigated by Microcalorimetry

Adsorption of microorganisms on minerals is a ubiquitous interfacial phenomenon in soil. Knowledge of the extent and mechanisms of bacterial adsorption on minerals is of great agronomic and environmental importance. This study examined adsorption of Bacillus subtilis on three common minerals in soils such as kaolinite, montmorillonite and goethite under various environmental conditions. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was used to investigate the effects of temperature (20, 30, and 40°C), pH (5.0, 7.0, and 9.0) and KNO₃ concentration (0.001, 0.01, and 0.1 mol L^?1) on the adsorption by direct measurement of enthalpies. The results revealed that the adsorption process in all the mineral systems were exothermic, with the enthalpy changes (ΔH_ads ) ranging from ?52 to ?137, ?33 to ?147, and ?53 to ?141 kJ kg^?1 (dry weight of adsorbed bacteria) for kaolinite, montmorillonite, and goethite, respectively. No obvious dependence of ΔH_ads on temperature was observed. The heat release for all the systems generally declined with pH and decrease of salt concentration, which can be explained by the variations of hydrophobicity and electrostatic force with pH or salt concentration. The largest decrease was found for goethite among the three minerals from pH 5.0 to 7.0, suggesting that electrostatic attraction may play a more important role in bacterial adsorption on this mineral. The ΔH_ads values for all the minerals became nearly the same at pH 9.0, indicating that the same force probably hydrophobicity governing the adsorption for the minerals in alkaline environment. It is assumed that acidic or saline soils and the associated environments favor the adsorption of B. subtilis on clay minerals. In addition, the negative enthalpies expressed as kJ kg^?1 (carbon) revealed an energy flow into the environment accompanied by the carbon adsorption on the minerals in soil.     

Adsorption/Desorption of toluene on clay minerals

Adsorption/desorption of toluene on montmorillonite, illite, and kaolinite was studied using the batch equilibrium method. The isotherms measured fit the Freundlich equation (r² >0.95). Montmorillonite adsorbed more toluene than illite or kaolinite; the adsorption of toluene on illite and kaolinite was not significantly different. Adsorption of toluene by montmorillonite showed an exponential increase as the ratio of toluene to clay was increased from 5 to 100. The rate studies showed that 62% of the adsorption was completed within 6 h. A rapid desorption was observed initially, followed by slow desorption after 1 h. The desorption rate decreased as the time of adsorption was increased. Almost all of the adsorbed toluene was extracted with water from the clay when the adsorption time was 0.1 h, but only 61% of the toluene could be desorbed when the adsorption time was 24 h.     

Adsorption of DNA to sand and variable degradation rates of adsorbed DNA

Adsorption and desorption of DNA and degradation of adsorbed DNA by DNase I were studied by using a flowthrough system of sand-filled glass columns. Maximum adsorption at 23 degrees C occurred within 2 h. The amounts of DNA which adsorbed to sand increased with the salt concentration (0.1 to 4 M NaCl and 1 mM to 0.2 M MgCl2), salt valency (Na+ less than Mg2+ and Ca2+), and pH (5 to 9). Maximum desorption of DNA from sand (43 to 59%) was achieved when columns were eluted with NaPO4 and NaCl for 6 h or with EDTA for 1 h. DNA did not desorb in the presence of detergents. It is concluded that adsorption proceeded by physical and chemical (Mg2+ bridging) interaction between the DNA and sand surfaces. Degradability by DNase I decreased upon adsorption of transforming DNA. When DNA adsorbed in the presence of 50 mM MgCl2, the degradation rate was higher than when it adsorbed in the presence of 20 mM MgCl2. The sensitivity to degradation of DNA adsorbed to sand at 50 mM MgCl2 decreased when the columns were eluted with 0.1 mM MgCl2 or 100 mM EDTA before application of DNase I. This indicates that at least two types of DNA-sand complexes with different accessibilities of adsorbed DNA to DNase I existed. The degradability of DNA adsorbed to minor mineral fractions (feldspar and heavy minerals) of the sand differed from that of quartz-adsorbed DNA.

Insecticidal Activity of the Toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki and tenebrionis Adsorbed and Bound on Pure and Soil Clays

The release of transgenic plants and microorganisms expressing truncated genes from various subspecies of Bacillus thuringiensis that encode active insecticidal toxins rather than inactive protoxins could result in the accumulation of these active proteins in soil, especially when bound on clays and other soil particles. Toxins from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and B. thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis, either free or adsorbed at equilibrium or bound on pure clay minerals (montmorillonite or kaolinite) or on the clay size fraction of soil, were toxic to larvae of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) and the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), respectively. The 50% lethal concentrations (LC(inf50)) of free toxins from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki were higher than those of both bound and adsorbed complexes of these toxins with clays, indicating that adsorption and binding of these toxins on clays increase their toxicity in diet bioassays. The LC(inf50) of the toxin from B. thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis that was either free or adsorbed on montmorillonite were comparable, whereas the toxin bound on this clay had higher LC(inf50) and the toxin bound on kaolinite had lower LC(inf50) than when adsorbed on this clay. Results obtained with the clay size fraction separated from unamended soil or soil amended with montmorillonite or kaolinite were similar to those obtained with the respective pure clay minerals. Therefore, insecticidal activity of these toxins is retained and sometimes enhanced by adsorption and binding on clays.     

Adsorption of DNA by Bacteria and Their Composites with Minerals

Previous studies revealed the thermodynamic properties of DNA adsorption on pure minerals or biomasses; however, there has been little attempt to develop such studies on bacteria–mineral composites. Equilibrium adsorption experiments, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and isothermal titration calorimetry were employed to investigate the adsorption of DNA by Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas putida, and their composites with minerals. Similar capacity and affinity were observed for DNA adsorption on two bacterial cells. However, different patterns were found in the adsorption of DNA by bacteria–mineral composites. The Gram-positive bacterium B. subtilis enhanced the adsorption of DNA on its mineral composites compared with their individual components, while the composites of Gram-negative bacterial cells with kaolinite and goethite bound lower amounts of DNA than the predicted values. The thermodynamic parameters and the Fourier transform infrared spectra showed that van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding are responsible for the DNA adsorption on B. subtilis–minerals and P. putida–kaolinite. By contrast, the entropy increases of excluded water rearrangement and dehydration effect play key roles in the interaction between DNA and P. putida–montmorillonite/goethite composites.
