Bioaccumulation of silver by a multispecies community of bacteria

A stable community of bacteria that had unusually high tolerance of soluble silver was isolated from soil by chemostat enrichment. The community consisted of three bacteria: Pseudomonas maltophilia, Staphylococcus aureus and a coryneform organism. The pseudomonas was primarly responsible for the silver resistance. The tolerance of high silver concentrations, up to 100 mM Ag⁺, was greatly reduced when the community was grown in the absence of silver. Pseudomonas maltophilia comprised approximately 50% by numbers of the community when grown in chemostats in the presence or absence of Ag⁺ but large fluctuations occurred in population sizes of the other two bacteria; the S. aureus population was small (less than 1%) in the presence of Ag⁺ but comparised a third of the total numbers when Ag⁺ was omitted from the medium. Silver-resistant respiration of the silveradapted community was significant even when it was confronted with high concentrations of Ag⁺. In contrast the respiration of the coryneform organism and particularly S. aureus was highly sensitive to silver. The inhibition constants for silver-sensitive respiration were 0.78 mM and 0.04 mM for silver acclimatized and nonacclimatized communities respectively.The community had great capacity for silver bioaccumulation. Maximum concentrations of over 300 mg silver per g dry weight of biomass were recorded at an accumulation rate of 21 mg Ag⁺ h^-1 (g biomass)^-1. The extent of silver removal from solution was a function of initial concentration of silver; at low external concentrations (ca. 1 mM) all the silver was rapidly removed from solution, at high concentrations (ca. 12 mM) 84% removal occurred in 15 h.

Is a community still a community? Reviewing definitions of key terms in community ecology

Community ecology is an inherently complicated field, confounded by the conflicting use of fundamental terms. Nearly two decades ago, Fauth et al. (1996) demonstrated that imprecise language led to the virtual synonymy of important terms and so attempted to clearly define four keywords in community ecology; “community,” “assemblage,” “guild,” and “ensemble”. We revisit Fauth et al.'s conclusion and discuss how the use of these terms has changed over time since their review. An updated analysis of term definition from a selection of popular ecological textbooks suggests that definitions have drifted away from those encountered pre‐1996, and slightly disagreed with results from a survey of 100 ecology professionals (comprising of academic professors, nonacademic PhDs, graduate and undergraduate biology students). Results suggest that confusion about these terms is still widespread in ecology. We conclude with clear suggestions for definitions of each term to be adopted hereafter to provide greater cohesion among research groups.

铜陵淡水豚国家级自然保护区半自然水域鱼类群落结构研究

2021年5月采用多网目复合刺网和抛网相结合的方法,对铜陵淡水豚国家级自然保护区半自然水域夹江鱼类群落进行了调查。共采集到鱼类30种,隶属于5目7科27属。相对重要性指数显示鲢（Hypophthalmichthys molitrix）、贝氏?（Hemiculter bleekeri）、似鳊（Pseudobrama simoni）、团头鲂（Megalobrama amblycephala）、鳊（Parabramis pekinensis）和翘嘴鲌（Culter alburnus）为群落优势种。与长江江豚（Neophocaena asiaeorientalis）争夺饵料资源的凶猛性鱼类比例达到2.4%,体长分布显示夹江中存在大量长江江豚无法摄食的大个体鱼类（17.5%）。夹江鱼类群落的Shannon-Weiner指数、Simpson指数、Margalef指数和Pielou均匀度指数依次分别为1.955~2.181,0.794~0.820,2.952~3.856和0.705~0.730。空间生态位宽度指数、平均拥挤度和生态位重叠指数表明,夹江优势种鱼类可能存在较为激烈的种间竞争。建议清理鳡（Elopichthys bambusa）、翘嘴鲌、达氏鲌（Culter dabryi）和乌鳢（Channa argus）等凶猛性鱼类及其他与长江江豚争夺饵料的鱼类,及时捕捞全长超过25 cm的鱼类,补充投放鲢、似鳊、银鲴（Xenocypris argentea）等长江江豚偏好摄食鱼类。     

Combined metabolic activity within an atrazine-mineralizing community enriched from agrochemical factory soil

The main objective of this work was to characterize an atrazine-mineralizing community originating from agrochemical factory soil, especially to elucidate the catabolic pathway and individual metabolic and genetic potentials of culturable members. A stable four-member bacterial community, characterized by colony morphology and 16S rDNA sequencing, was rapidly able to mineralize atrazine to CO₂ and NH₃. Two primary organisms were identified as Arthrobacter species (ATZ1 and ATZ2) and two secondary organisms (CA1 and CA2) belonged to the genera Ochrobactrum and Pseudomonas, respectively. PCR assessment of atrazine-degrading genetic potential of the community, revealed the presence of trzN, trzD, atzB and atzC genes. Isolates ATZ1 and ATZ2 were capable of dechlorinating atrazine to hydroxyatrazine and contained the trzN gene. ATZ2 further degraded hydroxyatrazine to cyanuric acid and contained atzB and atzC genes whereas ATZ1 contained atzC but not atzB. Isolates CA1 and CA2 grew on cyanuric acid and contained the trzD gene. Complete atrazine degradation was a result of the combined metabolic attack on the atrazine molecule, and complex interactions may exist between the community members sharing carbon and nitrogen from atrazine mineralization.Scientific relevance: Despite numerous reports on atrazine degradation by pure bacterial cultures, the pathways and the atrazine-degrading gene combinations harboured by bacterial communities are only poorly described. In this work, we characterized a four-member atrazine-mineralizing community enriched from an agrochemical factory soil, which was capable of rapidly metabolizing atrazine to CO₂. This study will contribute towards better understanding of the genetic potential and metabolic activities of atrazine-degrading communities, which are generally considered to be responsible for atrazine mineralization in the natural environment.     

Bacterial community changes in TCE biodegradation detected in microcosm experiments

Laboratory microcosm experiments were set up to model biodegradation of trichloroethylene (TCE). Groundwater samples from two contaminated sites were taken, one of them with low (70 mg L⁻¹), the other with high sulfate (685 mg L⁻¹) concentration. In order to assess the biodegradative potential of natural microbiota, supplementary substrates (whey or molasses) were added to the bottles. At day 54, 98, 155, and 318, chemical and bacteriological parameters (i.e., Dehalococcoides test) were investigated. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) based diversity assessments were carried out to observe the bacterial community changes. Whey and molasses enhanced degradation at different rates. In the case of samples with high sulfate content and amended with whey, no ethylene, ethane, or methane was generated. Both ethylene and methane production was detected in samples of low sulfate content with added whey. The results of Dehalococcoides tests were positive for all control and amended samples. Based on T-RFLP analysis, the bacterial communities of high sulfate concentration groundwater microcosms amended with molasses or whey were very similar, while the communities of groundwater samples with low sulfate concentration were different when supplemented with whey or molasses. The rRNA and rDNA based investigations suggest that the proportions of the active microbes and the microbes present in the microcosms differ.
