环境介质中的抗生素及其微生物生态效应

环境介质中的抗生素因存在浓度较低被称为微量污染物,其对生态系统和人类健康的影响已逐步得到认知。长期以来,抗生素被用于人和畜禽细菌性感染疾病的治疗。然而,随着集约化养殖业的发展,抗生素被大量添加于饲料中来预防畜禽和鱼虾的养殖疾病。因此,环境介质中抗生素种类和含量随着畜禽和水产养殖业的快速发展逐年增加。本文综述了环境中抗生素的来源、残留浓度及其环境微生物生态学效应。医用、兽用抗生素和人畜粪便的农用是抗生素进入环境的主要来源,其在不同环境介质中残留浓度不一：地表水含量为μg?L-1,土壤含量为?g?kg-1,沉积物含量为μg?kg-1—mg?kg-1之间。抗生素进入土壤、水和沉积物等环境介质,经吸附-解吸、迁移和降解等过程重新分配,其降解方式主要有水解、光解和生物降解。抗生素影响环境介质中微生物的生物量、活性和群落结构,并诱导产生抗性基因,但对生态系统服务及其功能的干扰和影响尚有待进一步研究。

Transport of bacteria in porous media: II. A model for convective Transport and growth

A model is presented for the coupled processes of bacterial growth and convective transport of bacteria has been modeled using a fractional flow approach. The various mechanisms of bacteria retention can be incorporated into the model through selection of an appropriate shape of the fractional flow curve. Permeability reduction due to pore plugging by bacteria was simulated using the effective medium theory. In porous media, the rates of transport and growth of bacteria, the generation of metabolic products, and the consumption of nutrients are strongly coupled processes. Consequently, the set of governing conservation equations form a set of coupled, nonlinear partial differential equations that were solved numerically. Reasonably good agreement between the model and experimental data has been obtained indicating that the physical processes incorporated in the model are adequate. The model has been used to predict the in situ transport and growth of bacteria, nutrient consumption, and metabolite production. It can be particularly useful in simulating laboratory experiments and in scaling microbial-enhanced oil recovery or bioremediation processes to the field. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Transport of bacteria in porous media: I. An experimental investigation

The convective transport of concentrated suspension of bacteria in porous media is of interest for several processes such as microbial enhanced oil recovery and in situ bioremediation. The parameters which affect the transport of the bacterium Bacillus licheniformis JF-2, a candidate microorganism for microbial enhanced oil recovery, were investigated experimentally in sandpacks. Bacteria retention and permeability reduction occurred primarily in the first few centimeters upon entering the porous medium. In downstream sections of the sandpack, the permeability reduction was low, even in cases in which high cell concentrations (10(8) cfu/mL) were detected in the effluent. The effect of (i) addition of a dispersant, (ii) linear velocity of injection, (iii) cell concentration, (iv) salinity (v) temperature, and (vi) the presence of a residual oleic phase were determined experimentally. A lower reduction in permeability and a higher effluent bacterial concentration were obtained in the presence of dispersant, high injection velocities, low salinities, and at a higher temperature. Macroscopic measurements at different linear velocities and in the presence or absence of dispersants suggest that the formation of reversible microaggregates and multiparticle hydrodynamic exclusion may be the primary mechanisms for bacterial retention and permeability reduction.

Biomachining: metal etching via microorganisms

The use of microorganisms to remove metal from a workpiece is known as biological machining or biomachining, and it has gained in both importance and scientific relevance over the past decade. Conversely to mechanical methods, the use of readily available microorganisms is low-energy consuming, and no thermal damage is caused during biomachining. The performance of this sustainable process is assessed by the material removal rate, and certain parameters have to be controlled for manufacturing the machined part with the desired surface finish. Although the variety of microorganisms is scarce, cell concentration or density plays an important role in the process. There is a need to control the temperature to maintain microorganism activity at its optimum, and a suitable shaking rate provides an efficient contact between the workpiece and the biological medium. The system’s tolerance to the sharp changes in pH is quite limited, and in many cases, an acid medium has to be maintained for effective performance. This process is highly dependent on the type of metal being removed. Consequently, the operating parameters need to be determined on a case-by-case basis. The biomachining time is another variable with a direct impact on the removal rate. This biological technique can be used for machining simple and complex shapes, such as series of linear, circular, and square micropatterns on different metal surfaces. The optimal biomachining process should be fast enough to ensure high production, a smooth and homogenous surface finish and, in sum, a high-quality piece. As a result of the high global demand for micro-components, biomachining provides an effective and sustainable alternative. However, its industrial-scale implementation is still pending.

Modeling biofilm accumulation and mass transport in a porous medium under high substrate loading

A packed bed biofilm reactor inoculated with pure culture Pseudomonas aeruginosa was run under high substrate loading and constant flow rate conditions. The 3.1-cm-diameter cylindrical reactor was 5 cm in length and packed with 1-mm glass beads. Daily observations of biofilm thickness, influent and effluent glucose substrate concentration, and effluent dissolved and total organic carbon were made during the 13-day experiment. Biofilm thickness appeared to rech quasi-steady-state condition after 10 days. A published biofilm process simulation program (AQUASIM) was used to analyze experimental data. Comparison of observed and simulated variables revealed three distinct phases of biofilm accumulation during the experiment: an initial phase, a growth phase, and a mature biofilm phase. Different combinations of biofilm and mass transport process variables were found to be important during each phase. Biofilm detachment was highly correlated with shear at the biofilm surface during all three phases of biofilm development. (c) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
