乳白耙齿菌F17对单一和复合多环芳烃的降解差异解析

[目的] 针对菲、蒽、荧蒽多环芳烃（PAHs）污染物,利用乳白耙齿菌F17,研究单一和复合PAHs污染物的生物降解规律。[方法] 采用气相色谱-质谱法（GC-MS）分析降解过程中PAHs的浓度,并采用准一级反应动力学模型对降解结果进行拟合。[结果] 对于单一PAHs,第15天时菲、蒽、荧蒽的降解率由高到低依次为菲（97.8%） > 蒽（89.3%） > 荧蒽（81.5%）。菲、蒽和荧蒽的降解过程具有准一级反应动力学特征,菲的生物降解速率最快,其次是蒽,荧蒽的降解速率最慢。与单一PAHs的降解相比,在复合PAHs的降解过程中,乳白耙齿菌F17的生长和锰过氧化物酶的合成均表现出不同的特征。此外,水溶性极可能是复合污染物降解的重要控制因子,三者水溶性为：菲 > 荧蒽 > 蒽。因此,在菲或荧蒽加入条件下,微生物能优先降解这些污染物,抑制了污染物蒽的降解;同时,蒽或菲的存在对荧蒽的降解也有抑制作用;然而外源加入水溶性较差的蒽和荧蒽,则对菲的生物降解无显著影响。[结论] 复合PAHs的生物降解主要表现为相互竞争的特点,通过GC-MS分析了PAHs的生物降解途径。     

汞胁迫对白骨壤(Avicennia marina)幼苗生理生态的影响

为了解红树植物的重金属抗性机制,对白骨壤(Avicennia marina)幼苗进行不同浓度Hg2+(1、5、10、50、100 mg·L-1)的胁迫实验,测定并分析了Hg2+胁迫对白骨壤幼苗叶片的光合作用和抗氧化酶活性的影响.结果表明:叶片净光合速率随着胁迫时间的延长而降低,高浓度(≥150 mg·L-1)Hg2+胁迫下叶片的净光合速率低于中低浓度胁迫,且高浓度胁迫的叶片净光合速率在48 h后快速下降;叶片净光合速率与胞间二氧化碳浓度呈极显著负相关,叶绿素含量随Hg2+浓度的增加而降低.气孔导度在不同浓度胁迫下反应不同,低浓度Hg2+对白骨壤幼苗光合的影响可能是气孔因素,中高浓度Hg2+对白骨壤幼苗光合作用的抑制主要是非气孔因素.低浓度Hg2+胁迫,白骨壤幼苗叶片SOD、POD活性升高,表现了一定的抗逆性,而高浓度表现为抑制作用,基本在100 mg·L-1 Hg2+胁迫下活性达到最低值.说明Hg2+可以抑制白骨壤叶片的光合活性,高浓度Hg2+胁迫削弱了白骨壤的活性氧清除能力,植物极易受到伤害.     

紫松果菊对多环芳烃重污染土壤修复效能

采用盆栽试验,以实际油田污染土与自然土和沙土按照一定比例配置两种污染浓度的土壤(PAHs总浓度分别为122.40和183.60 mg·kg-1),以株高、生物量变化以及芘(Pyr)、屈(CHR)、苯并b荧蒽(Bb F)、苯并k荧蒽(Bk F)4种多环芳烃去除率为指标,研究了紫松果菊对PAHs污染土壤的修复效能。结果表明:(1)4种多环芳烃污染土壤对紫松果菊株高和生物量有明显抑制作用,在PAHs总浓度为183.60 mg·kg-1时,紫松果菊仍能存活,说明紫松果菊对PAHs污染土壤具有较强的耐性。(2)在PAHs总浓度为183.60mg·kg-1时,紫松果菊对土壤中4种PAHs的去除率分别为66.2%、70.3%、40.6%和65.4%,4种PAHs的总量由183.60 mg·kg-1降到104.52 mg·kg-1,总去除率为56.93%,远大于对照组中PAHs总去除率。说明紫松果菊具有修复PAHs重污染土壤的潜能。相关性分析发现,PAHs的去除率与地下生物量的相关性更好,说明植物地下生物量对多环芳烃去除率影响较大。本研究拓展了利用植物修复PAHs污染土壤的应用范围,使重污染土壤的植物修复成为可能。

红树植物落叶碎屑对海水中多环芳烃的吸附作用

在实验室条件下,研究了海水中多环芳烃(PAHs)(含低分子量PAHs苊、菲和苊以及高分子量PAHs苯并[g,h,i]芘)浓度分别为40、400和4 000 μg·L-1时,红树植物秋茄(Kandelia candel)和白骨壤(Avicennia marina)不同分解状态落叶碎屑对PAHs的吸附作用.结果显示:在同等PAHs浓度下,秋茄和白骨壤落叶碎屑对4种PAHs的吸附总量相近,树种间或分解状态间的吸附差异不显著;随着PAHs浓度的增加,2种红树植物落叶碎屑对4种PAHs的吸附率均呈现逐渐增加的趋势;PAHs浓度较低时,落叶碎屑对(艹屈)和菲有较高的吸附率或选择性吸附,PAHs浓度较高时,落叶碎屑对苯并[g,h,i]芘吸附率提高.上述结果表明,不同分解状态下的红树植物落叶碎屑对海水中PAHs均有较强吸附能力,及时清除落叶碎屑,是去除海水中PAHs的有效途径之一.     

6种红树幼苗对不同盐度的生理适应性

为研究不同盐度下红树植物的生理适应性,测定了木榄(Bruguiera gymnorhiza)、角果木(Ceriops tagal)、红海榄(Rhizophora stylosa)、海莲(Bruguiera sexangula)、桐花树(Aegiceras corniculatum)、秋茄(Kandelia obovata)6种红树幼苗在8种盐度(0、5%、10%、15%、20%、25%、30%、35%)下的生长量、株高增量、基径增量、净光合速率、叶绿素a含量、叶绿素b含量、叶绿素总量、超氧化物岐化酶(SOD)活性、脯氨酸(Pro)含量以及丙二醛(MDA)含量。结果显示：6种红树幼苗适宜生长的盐度为5%～20%,其中桐花树具有较高的耐盐性。在盐胁迫下,6种红树植物幼苗的SOD酶活性、Pro含量和MDA含量均升高,叶绿素含量升高,净光合速率下降,生长速度减慢。研究表明,红树物种受到盐胁迫时,净光合速率降低,幼苗通过增加叶绿素含量提升光合作用,并通过增加叶片中SOD酶活性、Pro含量和MDA含量,提高植物抗逆性。     

秋茄幼苗叶片单宁、可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量对Cd胁迫的响应

在温室条件下,采用土壤盆栽技术研究了红树植物秋茄的幼苗在不同浓度的Cd(0~50mg·kg-1)胁迫下叶片单宁、可溶性糖和脯氨酸的含量变化。研究表明:秋茄幼苗叶片中的单宁、可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量均随着Cd胁迫浓度的增加出现不同程度先升后降的趋势,这表明秋茄幼苗对低浓度的Cd有一定的抵抗能力,但在高浓度的Cd胁迫下则受到伤害;单宁、可溶性糖和脯氨酸的含量分别在土壤Cd处理浓度为30mg·kg-1、20mg·kg-1、40mg·kg-1时达到最高,相应地,单宁、可溶性糖和脯氨酸浓度最高分别达到66·2mg·g-1、105·0mg·g-1和12·22mg·g-1;Cd胁迫对脯氨酸含量的影响极显著,因此可以作为秋茄对Cd污染的检测指标。     

3种土壤类型下红椿幼苗对铅胁迫的光合响应

采用盆栽试验,研究钙质紫色土、酸性紫色土和冲积土3种土壤类型上生长的红椿幼苗在不同浓度(0、200、450、2 000mg·kg-1)铅(Pb)胁迫下的光合生理响应,探讨红椿在不同土壤类型下Pb污染的生态适应性,为木本植物的重金属修复提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)3种土壤类型下,红椿幼苗叶片叶绿素a、叶绿素b及叶绿素总量随Pb胁迫浓度的增大呈总体降低的趋势,叶绿素含量在钙质紫色土上受Pb胁迫的影响不大,而在酸性紫色土和冲积土上降低明显。(2)不同土壤类型的红椿光合响应曲线变化趋势十分相似,红椿幼苗叶片的净光合速率均随Pb胁迫程度的加大呈先增加后降低的趋势且差异显著,并在Pb浓度为200和2 000mg·kg-1时光合速率分别达到最大值和最小值。(3)随着Pb胁迫浓度的增大,红椿的最大光合速率、表观量子利用效率、光补偿点等光合生理指标都发生了显著改变,说明Pb胁迫严重影响红椿幼苗的光合作用。研究表明,高浓度的铅抑制红椿幼苗叶片叶绿素的合成,从而抑制光合作用的强度,且铅胁迫的浓度越高,叶绿素含量越低,光合作用受到的抑制越强;较低浓度的Pb处理(200和450mg·kg-1)对酸性紫色土和冲积土上红椿的净光合速率影响很小,而对钙质紫色土上红椿的最大净光合速率的抑制最为明显。     

海南东寨港两种红树植物旱季和雨季的光合生理特征比较

植物光合生理生态特性是退化植物群落恢复、重建植物种选择的重要依据。为研究不同红树植物光合生理生态特性，该研究于2021年旱季的4—5月、雨季的7—9月利用LI-6400光合仪，测定红树植物秋茄和海莲的光合生理参数和主要生态因子，并采用通径分析方法分析主要生态因子对净光合速率的影响。结果表明：(1)秋茄旱季净光合速率日均值(8.43μmol^-2·s^-1)略低于雨季(8.67μmol^-2·s^-1),差异不显著；海莲旱季净光合速率日均值(7.03μmol^-2·s^-1)显著低于雨季(9.41μmol^-2·s^-1);旱季秋茄净光合速率日均值显著高于海莲，而雨季秋茄净光合速率日均值显著低于海莲。(2)旱季、雨季秋茄蒸腾速率、气孔导度、胞间CO₂浓度等光合生理因子日均值变化幅度小于海莲，水分利用效率也低于海莲。(3)旱季、雨季两种红树植物均存在“光合午休”现象。旱季，秋茄属于非气孔限制，而海莲属于气孔限制...     

不同浓度Ni、Cu处理对骆驼蓬光合作用和叶绿素荧光特性的影响水

以骆驼蓬幼苗为材料,采用盆栽试验研究不同浓度(0、50、100、200、400 mg·kg-1)Ni、Cu处理对骆驼蓬叶片光合作用、叶绿素荧光特性及生长状况的影响.结果表明:随着Ni浓度的增加,骆驼蓬幼苗叶片的光合色素含量、净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、PS Ⅱ最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、PS Ⅱ电子传递量子产率(φpsⅡ)、光化学猝灭系数(qp)及各项生长指标均呈显著下降趋势,而细胞间隙CO2浓度(Ci)和非光化学猝灭系数(qn)呈显著增加趋势,其中Pn的下降主要是由非气孔限制所致;骆驼蓬幼苗叶片的光合色素含量、Pn、Gs、Tr、Ci、Fv/Fm、φpsⅡ、qp及各项生长指标均在50 mg·kg-1Cu处理时达到峰值,叶绿素a和b、Pn、Gs、Tr、Ci、Fv/Fm及各项生长指标值在100 mg·kg-1Cu处理时仍微高于对照,而后随Cu浓度的增加,光合色素含量、Pn、Gs、Tr、Ci、Fv/Fm、φpsⅡ、qp及各项生长指标均呈下降趋势,qN呈增加趋势,其中Pn的下降主要是由气孔限制所致.     

Collagen-like triple helix formation of synthetic (Pro-Pro-Gly)10 analogues: (4(S)-hydroxyprolyl-4(R)-hydroxyprolyl-Gly)10, (4(R)-hydroxyprolyl-4(R)-hydroxyprolyl-Gly)10 and (4(S)-fluoroprolyl-4(R)-fluoroprolyl-Gly)10.

For the rational design of a stable collagen triple helix according to the conventional rule that the pyrrolidine puckerings of Pro, 4-hydroxyproline (Hyp) and 4-fluoroproline (fPro) should be down at the X-position and up at the Y-position in the X-Y-Gly repeated sequence for enhancing the triple helix propensities of collagen model peptides, a series of peptides were prepared in which X- and Y-positions were altogether occupied by Hyp(R), Hyp(S), fPro(R) or fPro(S). Contrary to our presumption that inducing the X-Y residues to adopt a down-up conformation would result in an increase in the thermal stability of peptides, the triple helices of (Hyp(S)-Hyp(R)-Gly)(10) and (fPro(S)-fPro(R)-Gly)(10) were less stable than those of (Pro-Hyp(R)-Gly)(10) and (Pro-fPro(R)-Gly)(10), respectively. As reported by B?chinger's and Zagari's groups, (Hyp(R)-Hyp(R)-Gly)(10) which could have an up-up conformation unfavorable for the triple helix, formed a triple helix that has a high thermal stability close to that of (Pro-Hyp(R)-Gly)(10). These results clearly show that the empirical rule based on the conformational preference of pyrrolidine ring at each of X and Y residues should not be regarded as still valid, at least for predicting the stability of collagen models in which both X and Y residues have electronegative groups at the 4-position.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of a blue-emitting Sr(3.5) Y(6.5) O(2) (PO(4) )(1.5) (SiO(4) )(4.5) :Eu(2+) phosphor

A novel blue‐emitting Sr_3.5Y_6.5O₂(PO₄)_1.5(SiO₄)_4.5:Eu²⁺ phosphor was synthesized via a solid‐state reaction. Powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated that the Sr_3.5Y_6.5O₂(PO₄)_1.5(SiO₄)_4.5 host had a hexagonal crystal structure in the space group P6₃/m and unit cell parameters a = 9.418 Å, c = 6.900 Å. The as‐prepared phosphor showed a blue emission and all the main emission peaks were located at around 466 nm for different excitation wavelengths of 297, 333 and 391 nm. The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence property was investigated in the range 20–250 °C, and the emission intensity decreased to 71% of the initial value at room temperature on increasing the temperature to 150 °C. According to the classical theory of fluorescent thermal quenching, the activation energy (ΔE) for the thermal quenching luminescence of the as‐prepared Sr_3.45Y_6.5O₂(PO₄)_1.5(SiO₄)_4.5:0.05Eu²⁺ phosphor was determined to be 0.20 eV.

Role of tfdC(I)D(I)E(I)F(I) and tfdD(II)C(II)E(II)F(II) gene modules in catabolism of 3-chlorobenzoate by Ralstonia eutropha JMP134(pJP4)

The enzymes chlorocatechol-1,2-dioxygenase, chloromuconate cycloisomerase, dienelactone hydrolase, and maleylacetate reductase allow Ralstonia eutropha JMP134(pJP4) to degrade chlorocatechols formed during growth in 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate or 3-chlorobenzoate (3-CB). There are two gene modules located in plasmid pJP4, tfdC(I)D(I)E(I)F(I) (module I) and tfdD(II)C(II)E(II)F(II) (module II), putatively encoding these enzymes. To assess the role of both tfd modules in the degradation of chloroaromatics, each module was cloned into the medium-copy-number plasmid vector pBBR1MCS-2 under the control of the tfdR regulatory gene. These constructs were introduced into R. eutropha JMP222 (a JMP134 derivative lacking pJP4) and Pseudomonas putida KT2442, two strains able to transform 3-CB into chlorocatechols. Specific activities in cell extracts of chlorocatechol-1,2-dioxygenase (tfdC), chloromuconate cycloisomerase (tfdD), and dienelactone hydrolase (tfdE) were 2 to 50 times higher for microorganisms containing module I compared to those containing module II. In contrast, a significantly (50-fold) higher activity of maleylacetate reductase (tfdF) was observed in cell extracts of microorganisms containing module II compared to module I. The R. eutropha JMP222 derivative containing tfdR-tfdC(I)D(I)E(I)F(I) grew four times faster in liquid cultures with 3-CB as a sole carbon and energy source than in cultures containing tfdR-tfdD(II)C(II)E(II)F(II). In the case of P. putida KT2442, only the derivative containing module I was able to grow in liquid cultures of 3-CB. These results indicate that efficient degradation of 3-CB by R. eutropha JMP134(pJP4) requires the two tfd modules such that TfdCDE is likely supplied primarily by module I, while TfdF is likely supplied by module II.     

Induction of in vitro flowering in Dendrobium Madame Thong-In (Orchidaceae) seedlings is associated with increase in endogenous N(6)-(Delta (2)-isopentenyl)-adenine (iP) and N (6)-(Delta (2)-isopentenyl)-adenosine (iPA) levels

We analysed the endogenous cytokinin levels of Dendrobium Madame Thong-In seedlings grown in vitro during vegetative and flowering-inductive periods. HPLC was used to fractionate the extracts and radioimmunoassay (RIA) was used for assay of zeatin (Z), dihydrozeatin (DZ), N(6)-(Delta(2)-isopentenyl)-adenine (iP) and their derivatives. Coconut water used in experiments was found to contain high level (>136 pmol ml(-1)) of zeatin riboside (ZR). Protocorms and seedlings cultured in medium with coconut water were found to contain 0.5-3.9 pmol g(-1) FW of the cytokinins analysed. Seedlings (1.0-1.5 cm) cultured in flowering-inductive liquid medium containing 6-benzyladenine (BA, 4.4 muM) and coconut water (CW, 15%) contained up to 200 and 133 pmol g(-1) FW of iP and iPA, respectively. These levels were significantly higher than all other cytokinins analysed in seedlings of the same stage and were about 80- to 150-folds higher than seedlings cultured in non-inductive medium. During the transitional (vegetative to reproductive) stage, the endogenous levels of iP (178 pmol g(-1) FW) and iPA (63 pmol g(-1) FW) were also significantly higher than cytokinins in the zeatine (Z) and dihydrozeatin (DZ) families in the same seedlings. Seedlings that grew on inductive medium but remained vegetative contained lower levels of iPA. The importance of the profiles of iP and its derivatives in induction of in vitro flowering of D. Madame Thong-In is discussed.     

Biology of Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) tau (Walker) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

The biology of the fruit fly Bactrocera tau, an important horticultural pest, was studied under laboratory conditions at 25°C and 60–70% relative humidity on Cucurbita maxima. The duration of mating averaged 408.03 ± 235.93 min. After mating, the female fly had a preoviposition period of 11.7 ± 4.49 days. The oviposition rate was 9.9 ± 8.50 eggs and fecundity was 464.6 ± 67.98 eggs/female. Eggs were elliptical, smooth and shiny white, turning darker as hatching approached, and measured 1.30 ± 0.07 mm × 0.24 ± 0.04 mm. The chorion has polygonal microsculpturing and is species-specific with polygonal walls. The egg period lasts for 1.3 ± 0.41 days. The duration of the larval period is 1.2 ± 0.42, 1.7 ± 0.48 and 4.0 ± 0.94 days for first, second and third instars, respectively. Pupation occurs in the sand or soil and pupal periods are 7.0 ± 0.47 days. The life cycle from egg to adult was completed in 14.2 ± 1.69 days; the longevity of mated females and males was 130.33 ± 14.18 and 104.66 ± 31.21 days, respectively. At least two to three generations were observed from June 2008 to June 2009.     

Spectroscopic investigations of Er(3+) :CdO-Bi(2) O(3) -B(2) O(3) glasses

This article reports on the optical properties of Er³⁺ ions doped CdO–Bi₂O₃–B₂O₃ (CdBiB) glasses. The materials were characterized by optical absorption and emission spectra. By using Judd–Ofelt theory, the intensity parameters Ω_λ (λ = 2, 4, 6) and also oscillatory strengths were calculated from the absorption spectra. The results were used to compute the radiative properties of Er³⁺:CdBiB glasses. The concentration quenching and energy transfer from Yb³⁺–Er³⁺ were explained. The stimulated emission cross‐section, full width at half maximum (FWHM) and FWHM × values are also calculated for all the Er³⁺:CdBiB glasses. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cationic (tripyrrinato)palladium(II) complexes

The formation of cationic palladium(II)complexes [TrpyPd^II]⁺X⁻ by salt metathesis of the respective trifluoroacetates with different salts of weakly coordinating anions X⁻ was investigated. With non-hydrolizable counterions, cationic mono- and dinuclear complexes are observed depending on the nature of the anion X⁻ and the solvent. The mononuclear cations, which are only formed with X = BAr^F, most probably carry a weakly bound molecule of dichloromethane at the fourth coordination site of Pd^II. When treated with diazoalkanes, only these are sufficiently reactive to form carbene complexes. Four- and five coordinate Lewis base adducts [TrpyPd^IIL]⁺ with L = CH₃NC, tBuNH₂, PMe₃, PEt₃ and PiPr₃ and [TrpyPd^IIL₂]⁺ with L = PMe₃ were prepared from the mononuclear cations [TrpyPd^II]⁺BAr^F−. From structural studies it becomes apparent, that the formation of stable five coordinate Pd^II species is restricted to medium size ligands and depends on the delicate balance between the steric influence of L and the strain, which is induced on the TrpyPd^II unit.     

The helix-coil transitions of poly (dA)-poly (dT) and poly (dA-dT)-poly (dA-dT)

Helix–coil transition curves are calculated for poly (dA) poly(dT) and poly (dA-dT) poly (dA-dT) using the integral equation approach of Goel and Montroll.⁵ The transitions are described by the loop entropy model with the exponent of the loop entropy factor, k, remaining an arbitrary constant. The theoretical calculations are compared with experimental transition curves of the two polymers. Results indicate that the stacking energies for these two polymers differ by about 1 kcal/mole of base pairs. Also, a fit between theory and experiment was not possible for k > 1.70.
