Four new hetisine‐type C20‐diterpenoid alkaloids, named as coreanines A–D ( 1 – 4 ), were isolated from the roots of Aconitum coreanum, together with thirteen known alkaloids ( 5 – 17 ). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods including IR, HR‐ESI‐MS and NMR techniques. All the isolated compounds were screened for the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory effects, and none of them showed considerable inhibitory activity. 相似文献
In this research, a novel packed anoxic/oxic moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was established to achieve high-organic matter removal rates, despite the carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio of 2.7–5.1 in the influent. Simultaneous nitrification–denitrification (SND) was investigated under a long sludge retention time of 104 days. The system exhibited excellent performance in pollutant removal, with chemical oxygen demand and total nitrogen (TN) enhanced to 93.6–97.4% and 34.4–60%, respectively. Under low C/N conditions, the nitrogen removal process of A/O MBBR system was mainly achieved by anaerobic denitrification. The increase of C/N ratio enhanced SND rate of the aerobic section, where dissolved oxygen was maintained at the range of 4–6 mg/L, and resulted in higher TN removal efficiency. The microbial composition and structures were analyzed utilizing the MiSeq Illumina sequencing technique. High-throughput pyrosequencing results indicated that the dominant microorganisms were Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes at the phylum level, which contributes to the removal of organics matters. In the aerobic section, abundances of Nitrospirae (1.12–29.33%), Burkholderiales (2.15–21.38%), and Sphingobacteriales (2.92–11.67%) rose with increasing C/N ratio in the influent, this proved that SND did occur in the aerobic zone. As the C/N ratio of influent increased, the SND phenomenon in the aerobic zone of the system is the main mechanism for greatly improving the removal rate of TN in the aerobic section. The C/N ratio in the aerobic zone is not required to be high to exhibit good TN removal performance. When C/NH4+ and C/TN in the aerobic zone were higher than 2.29 and 1.77, respectively, TN removal efficiency was higher than 60%, which means that carbon sources added to the reactor could be saved. This study would be vital for a better understanding of microbial structures within a packed A/O MBBR and the development of cost-efficient strategies for the treatment of low C/N wastewater.
Abstract In recent years, the hadal trenches have been recognized as biological hot spots for deep sea researchers. Due to high hydrostatic pressure, low temperatures, high salinity and low nutrients, the microorganisms in hadal trenches may have unique community structure with potential for biotechnical application. Compared with bacteria and archaea, the diversity and ecological roles of fungi in hadal trenches remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments of the Yap trench and their denitrification potential. In the present study, a total of 106 fungal strains were isolated from six sediment samples collected in the East Yap Trench. These fungi belonged to five classes (Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Sordariomycetes, Cystobasidiomycetes, and Microbotryomycetes), thirteen genera (Acremonium, Alternaria, Aureobasidium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Cystobasidium, Engyodontium, Gliomastix, Lecanicillium, Penicillium, Phoma, Rhodotorula and Trichoderma) and eighteen species, based on morphological identification and ITS-rDNA sequence analysis. Among them, the dominant genus is Cladosporium, which accounting for 42.45% of the total fungal strains. Meanwhile, the denitrification potential of the fungal strains was also examined with two different denitrifying media (nitrate and nitrite as sole substrate, respectively). Two fungal strains (Acremonium sp. and Aspergillus versicolor), were found to be able to produce N2O ex situ in the presence of nitrite. No fungus was found to produce N2O by using nitrate. Our results suggest that fungi in hadal sediments, play important roles in nitrogen cycles. 相似文献
