Plant uptake and leaching of copper during EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of repacked and undisturbed soil 总被引:7,自引:1,他引:6

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of copper contaminated soil was evaluated. Up to 740 g g–1 of Na2H2 EDTA in solution was added to repacked soil columns, and intact cores of a sandy loam of volcanic origin, that was growing Agrostis tenuis. The soil contained up to 400 g g–1 of copper due to a history of fungicide spraying. EDTA application increased the herbage copper concentration of the grass growing in repacked soil from 30 to 300 g g–1, but the same application to an intact core only brought about an increase from 10 to 60 g g–1. More copper accumulated in the herbage when the EDTA was applied in numerous small doses than in just one or two larger amounts. Calculation of the concentration of copper in the water taken up by the grass revealed this to be two orders of magnitude lower than that in the soil solution. As a result of the EDTA applications, about 100 times more copper was leached than was taken up by the herbage. This means that a strategy for managing leaching losses needs to be part of any plan for EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation. 相似文献

This study examines the influence of current velocity in the toxiceffect of copper in diatom-dominated biofilms grown in artificial channels.Effects on community structure, algal biomass and photosynthesis (carbonincorporation) caused by 15 g L–1 of copperwere tested at contrasting (1 and 15 cm s–1)velocities. Moreover, a possible threshold on the effect of copper on algalbiomass and photosynthesis related to current velocity was examined by usingprogressively increasing current velocity (1 to 50 cms–1) at 15 g L–1 Cu.Chlorophyll-a decreased ca. 50% as a result of addition of15 g L–1 Cu. Chlorophyll decrease occurredearlier at 15 cm s–1 than at 1 cms–1 when adding 15 g L–1Cu. Copper also caused a remarkable decrease in carbon incorporation(from 30 to ca. 50%), which was produced earlier at 15 cms–1 (three days) than at 1 cms–1 (seven days). Some taxa were affected by thecombination of copper and current velocity. Both Achnanthesminutissima and Stigeoclonium tenue becomedominant at 15 cm s–1 in the presence of copper.Significant inhibition of algal growth in 15 g L–1Cu occurred at low (1 cm s–1) and highvelocities (50 cm s–1), but not at intermediatevelocity (20 cm s–1). The experiments indicatethat current velocity triggers the effect that copper has on diatom-dominatedbiofilms, and that the effect is more remarkable at low and high than atintermediate current velocities. 相似文献

Exponentially growing cultures ofNitrosomonas europaea were inhibited by addition of 0.5 g nitrapyrin ml–1. This inhibition was increased by simultaneous addition of 0.046 g Cu2+ ml–1 as copper sulfate. This contradicts a previous report that copper relieves inhibition of ammonia oxidation by nitrapyrin, which report has formed the basis for hypotheses regarding the mechanism of action of this inhibitor. 相似文献

Cell suspension cultures of Agave amaniensiswere able to grow in media containing 10 – 240 M copper ions, and could remove more than 67% copper ions from the media. The cells accumulated up to 106 mg g–1 copper ions in the biomass. Copper ions at 240 M caused a decrease in growth index and packed cell volume of the cultures of 61.5 and 53.3%, respectively. The presence of copper ions caused the cell walls to thicken and to be more wrinkled. Certain amino acids were released in high concentration into the media. The hecogenin content in the biomass increased up to 157.9% at 20 M copper ions. 相似文献

Copper contamination was studied in the Patuxent River, Maryland, which flows from the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The only heavy industry on this river is a coal-fired power plant situated 35 km from the river mouth. The plant uses river water for cooling purposes and had been implicated in early studies as a source of localized copper pollution from copper: nickel condenser tubing. Average cooling water usage exceeded average natural river flow over the study period by a factor of 3. This investigation showed high levels of both dissolved and particulate copper at this point source, with a high ratio of particulate: dissolved copper at the point of discharge. A copper budget achieved through comparison of industrial intake/outflow data showed that when natural river flow was considered, output from this single point source could conservatively account for a total copper concentration in the river of 6.7 g 1–1 above background. This considerably exceeded the measured figure of 2.6 g 1–1 (relative to the upstream station). Part of this discrepancy was probably due to copper deposition close to the power plant. Although copper concentrations declined downstream from this source, they still remained high in absolute terms and were comparable with a much more heavily industrialized river system. Even at the river mouth, copper concentration remained elevated and it was speculated that anti-fouling paints associated with heavy recreational boat traffic may be particularly responsible for this. 相似文献

Hydrocarbon production from secondarily treated piggery wastewater by the green alga Botryococcus braunii 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A laboratory study was conducted on the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from piggery wastewater during growth of Botryococcus braunii UTEX 572, together with measurements of hydrocarbon formation by the alga. The influence was tested of the initial nitrogen and phosphorus concentration on the optimum concentration range for a culture in secondarily treated piggery wastewater. A high cell density (> 7 g L–1 d. wt) was obtained with 510 mg L–1 NO3-N. Growth increased with nitrogen concentration at the basal phosphorus concentration (14 mg P L–1). The growth rate was nearly independent ( = 0.027 0.030 h–1) of the initial phosphate concentration, except under conditions of phosphate deficiency ( = 0.019 h–1). B. braunii grew well in piggery wastewater pretreated by a membrane bioreactor (MBR) with acidogenic fermentation. A dry cell weight of 8.5 mgL–1 and hydrocarbon level of 0.95 gL–1 were obtained, and nitrate was removed at a rate of 620 mg NL–1. These results indicate that pretreated piggery wastewater provides a good culture medium for the growth and hydrocarbon production by B. braunii. 相似文献

The effect of glycine and strychnine on Mg2+-ATPase from the microsomal fraction of the bream (Abramis bramaL.) brain was studied. The glycine in the concentration range 10–7–10–4M activates the enzyme. The effect of glycine on Mg2+-ATPase is obviated by 100 M strychnine. The strychnine in the concentration range 5–90 M activates the basal Mg2+-ATPase but decreases the effect of the enzyme activation by 10–4M glycine. The effect of Cl–on Mg2+-ATPase depends on the substrate concentration (Mg2+-ATP) and is not observed in the presence of 100 M strychnine. A receptor-dependent pathway of glycine and strychnine action on Cl–-activated Mg2+-ATPase from bream brain microsomes is proposed. 相似文献

Mathematical model parameters for the methanogenic degradation of propylene glycol were estimated in a sequential manner by means of an optimization technique. Model parameters determined from an initial experimental data set using one bioreactor were then verified with the results from a second bioreactor. The proposed methodology is a useful tool to obtain model parameters for continuous flow reactors with completely mixed regime.

Enargite (Cu3AsS4) was leached at 70°C by Sulfolobus BC in shake-flasks. The highest copper dissolution (52% after 550 h of leaching) was obtained with bacteria and 1 g l–1 ferric ion. In the absence of ferric ion, Sulfolobus BC catalyzes the bioleaching of enargite through a direct mechanism after adhesion onto the mineral surface. In ferric bioleaching, arsenic precipitated as ferric arsenate and arsenic remained associated to the solid residues, preventing the presence of a high dissolved arsenic concentration in the leaching solution. About 90% inhibition of bacterial growth rate and activity was observed for dissolved arsenic concentrations above 600 mg l–1 for As(III) and above 1000 mg l–1 for As(V). Arsenic-bearing copper ores and concentrates could be leached by Sulfolobus BC in the presence of ferric iron due to the favourable precipitation of arsenic ion as ferric arsenate, avoiding significant bacterial inhibition. 相似文献

High density fed-batch cultures for hybridoma cells performed with the aid of a kinetic model 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Hybridoma fed-batch cultures with either standard medium as feed or concentrated medium as feed and removal of toxic metabolites through dialysis were performed by using model calculations for a priori determination of process parameters. In a first step a kinetic model for specific growth and death rate, respectively as well as for substrate uptake and metabolite production rates was formulated. In a bed-batch culture with standard medium as feed the appropriate time for start of the feeding pump and the increase of feed rate were determined a priori. The glutamine concentration was controlled at 0.04 mmoll–1. A priori calculation and course of the culture coincided rather well. A cell concentration of 3.2×106 cells ml–1, a MAb-concentration of 54 mg

l–1h–1 were obtained.For further increase of the efficiency a high density fed-batch process was developed, where concentrated medium is fed to the cells and the accumulating toxic low molecular weight metabolites are removed through a dialysis membrane into a dialyizng fluid. In a membrane dialysis reactor consisting of a culture chamber and a dialyzing chamber, which are separated by a cylindrical dialysis membrane, again model calculations were used to determine feed rate and exchange rate of dialyzing fluid. A viable cell density of 1.2×107 cells ml–1 and a MAb concentration of 425 mg l–1 were reached in a culture with stepwise feeding of 10 x concentrated medium and exchange of dialyzing fluid for removal of low molecular metabolites. The course of the culture could be predicted a priori rather well. The MAb-time-space-yield was 2.47 mg

A mutant strain of Yarrowia lipolytica was developed which produced 8.0 g l--hydroxybutyric acid l–1 from butyric acid in a batch culture. The optimum culture conditions in the fermenter for maintenance of a high cell activity, determined by chemostat analyses, were a specific growth rate of 0.06 h–1, a glucose concentration of 2.0 g l–1, and a butyric acid concentration of 8.1 g l–1. A fed-batch fermentation was performed under these conditions resulting in an l--hydroxybutyric acid yield of 31 g l–1. 相似文献

A naked plasmid with human pre-pro-insulin gene was transferred into skeletal muscle of diabetic rats by electric pulses and gene expression was detected. Blood glucose concentration was decreased from 24 mmol l–1 to 8.5 mmol l–1. Circulating insulin-like protein was increased significantly to 15–20 U ml–1, while that of the control group injected with the empty vector remained at less than 10 U ml–1. The low blood glucose concentration lasted for more than two months. These studies indicate that electroporational transfer of plasmid with human pre-pro-insulin gene into skeletal muscle could be a potential method of gene therapy for human diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

Summary A series of continuous fermentations were carried out with a production strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a membrane bioreactor. A membrane separation module composed of ultrafiltration tubular membranes retained all biomass in a fermentation zone of the bioreactor and allowed continuous removal of fermentation products into a cell-free permeate. In a system with total (100%) cell recycle the impact of fermentation conditions [dilution rate (0.03–0.3 h–1); substrate concentration in the feed (50–300 g·1–1); biomass concentration (depending on the experimental conditions)] was studied on the behaviour of the immobilized cell population and on ethanol formation. Maximum ethanol productivity (15 g·1–1·h–1) was attained at an ethanol concentration of 81 g·1–1. The highest demands of cells for maintenance energy were found at the maximum feed substrate concentration (300 g·1–1) and at very low concentrations of cells in the broth. 相似文献

Concentrations of cadmium, mercury, lead, arsenic, selenium, copper, zinc, manganese and iron in liver, and cadmium in kidneys, were analysed in 95 carcasses of arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) caught in Svalbard during three winter seasons from 1984 through 1986. The hepatic concentration ranges of cadmium, mercury, lead and arsenic were 0.1–2.4, 0.01–2.2, < 0.5–2.9 and 0.01–1.3 g·g–1 WW, respectively. The range of cadmium concentration in the kidneys was from 0.2 to 13 g·g–1 WW. Cadmium and mercury concentrations were higher in adult animals than in juveniles. The average concentrations of cadmium and lead were similar to recently published levels in polar bear from Svalbard, but the mercury concentrations were lower. Significant geographical differences were observed between trapping areas. Foxes caught north of Isfjorden had lower levels of liver iron and higher levels of all other elements analysed than those caught south of Isfjorden. The recorded concentrations of heavy metals indicate a moderate degree of exposure, which most likely is of natural origin.Gunnar Norheim died January 9, 1991 相似文献

Summary Specific growth rate models of product-inhibited cell growth exist but are rarely applied to fermentations beyond ethanol and large-scale antibiotic production. The present paper summarizes experimental data and the development of a model for growth of the commercially important bacterium,Lactobacillus plantarum, in cucumber juice. The model provides an excellent correlation of data for the influence on bacterial growth rate of NaCl, protons (H+), and the neutral, inhibitory forms of acetic acid and the fermentation product, lactic acid. The effects of each of the variables are first modeled separately using established functional forms and then combined in the final model formulation.Nomenclature [C]

The effect of -alany-L-histidinato zinc (AHZ) on bone cell function was investigated in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Cells were cultured for 3 days at 37°C in a CO2 incubator in plastic dishes containing -modified minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. After the cultures, the medium was exchanged for that containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin plus AHZ (10–7–10–5 M) or other reagents, and the cells were cultured further for appropriate periods of time. The presence of AHZ (10–7–10–5 M) produced a remarkable increase of alkaline phosphatase activity and protein concentration in osteoblastic cells. Thus increases were seen with the prolonged cultivation (12–21 days). With the culture of 1, 3 and 12 days, the effect of AHZ (10–6 M) to increase alkaline phosphatase activity and protein concentration was more intensive than the effect of zinc sulfate, (10–6 M). The AHZ effects were completely abolished by the presence of cycloheximide (10–6 M), indicating that AHZ stimulates protein synthesis in the cells. The present study suggests that AHZ has a stimulatory effect on cell differentiation, and that this effect is partly involved on protein synthesis in osteoblastic cells. 相似文献

Copper but not iron limitation increases astaxanthin production by Phaffia rhodozyma in a chemically defined medium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The influence of copper (0–32 M) and iron (0–108 M) on growth and astaxanthin production by Phaffia rhodozyma was studied. Copper below 3.2 M increased the astaxanthin content of the cells (from 220 to 287 g g–1) but at the expense of a slightly decreased growth (from 11.3 to 10.2 mg ml–1). In contrast, iron below 1 M decreased both the growth and astaxanthin content of the cells. Using copper limitation instead of toxic respiratory inhibitors to improve astaxanthin production has obvious advantages from the product quality, environmental and process operation points of view. 相似文献

The effects of chronic exposure to 5 g·1–1 cadmium or copper on the crustacean Isopod Asellus aquaticus (L.) were studied by analyzing survival and body growth in the first stages of the life-cycle and by determining fecundity and survival of embryo-bearing females. Juveniles survival is differently affected by the two metals in that embryonic development is more sensitive to cadmium while juvenile development is more sensitive to copper. Juvenile body growth is stimulated by cadmium and depressed by copper. Embryo-bearing female survival and fecundity are significantly reduced by cadmium but are not affected by copper. The consequence of environmental contamination by a sublethal cadmium or copper concentration is discussed. 相似文献

Defolliculated oocytes of Xenopus laevis responded to removal of external divalent cations with large depolarizations and, when voltage clamped, with huge currents. Single channel analysis revealed a Cl– channel with a slope conductance of about 90 pS at positive membrane potentials with at least four substates. Single channel amplitudes and mean channel currents had a reversal potential of approximately –15 mV as predicted by the Nernst equation for a channel perfectly selective for Cl–. Readdition of Ca2+ immediately inactivated the channel and restored the former membrane potential or clamp current. The inward currents were mediated by a Ca2+ inactivated Cl– channel (CaIC). The inhibitory potency of Ca2+ was a function of the external Ca2+ concentration with a half maximal blocker concentration of about 20 m.These channels were inhibited by the Cl– channel blockers flufenamic acid, niflumic acid and diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC). In contrast, 4,4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonicacid (SITS), another Cl– channel blocker, led to activation of this Cl– channel. Like other Cl– channels, the CaIC was activated by cytosolic cAMP. Extracellular ATP inhibited the channel while ADP was without any effect. Injection of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C activating phorbol ester, stimulated the Cl– current. Cytochalasin D, an actin filament disrupting compound, reversibly decreased the clamp current demonstrating an influence of the cytoskeleton.The results indicate that removal of divalent cations activates Cl– channels in Xenopus oocytes which share several features with Cl– channels of the CLC family. The former so-called leak current of oocytes under divalent cation-free conditions is nothing else than an activation of Cl– channels.The microelectrode measurements are part of the PhD thesis of K. Liebold; the patch clamp contributions are part of the PhD thesis of F.W. Reifarth.
