添加厨余垃圾对剩余污泥厌氧消化产沼气过程的影响

为提高剩余污泥厌氧消化的沼气产量和甲烷含量,研究了厨余垃圾的不同添加量对剩余污泥厌氧消化性能的影响。结果表明,在35℃下,随着剩余污泥中厨余垃圾添加量的增加,厌氧消化系统中碳氮质量比（C／N）、胞外多聚物（EPS）等生理生化指标均有不同程度的改善。其中当剩余污泥与厨余垃圾质量比为2：1时,混合有机废弃物中沼气产量和甲烷含量均达到最大值,每克挥发性固体（VS）产生了156．56mL沼气,甲烷体积分数为67．52％,分别比剩余污泥单独厌氧消化时的产气量提高了5倍和1．5倍。

Effect of natural toxins and adipokinetic hormones on the activity of digestive enzymes in the midgut of the cockroach Periplaneta americana

This study examined the effect of two natural toxins (a venom from the parasitic wasp Habrobracon hebetor and destruxin A from the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae), and one pathogen (the entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea) on the activity of basic digestive enzymes in the midgut of the cockroach Periplaneta americana. Simultaneously, the role of adipokinetic hormones (AKH) in the digestive processes was evaluated. The results showed that all tested toxins/pathogens elicited stress responses when applied into the cockroach body, as documented by an increase of AKH level in the central nervous system. The venom from H. hebetor showed no effect on digestive enzyme activities in the ceca and midgut in vitro. In addition, infection by I. fumosorosea caused a decrease in activity of all enzymes in the midgut and a variable decrease in activity in the ceca; application of AKHs did not reverse the inhibition. Destruxin A inhibited the activity of all enzymes in the midgut but none in the ceca in vitro; application of AKHs did reverse this inhibition, and no differences between both cockroach AKHs were found. Overall, the results demonstrated the variable effect of the tested toxins/pathogens on the digestive processes of cockroaches as well as the variable ability of AKH to counteract these effects.

Leishmania braziliensis:Characterisation of a Complex Specific Subtelomeric Repeat Sequence and Its Use in the Detection of Parasites

Fu, G., Perona-Wright, G., and Barker, D. C. 1998.Leishmania braziliensis: Characterisation of a complex specific subtelomeric repeat sequence and its use in the detection of parasites.Experimental Parasitology90, 236–243. A 1.6-kb tandem repeat sequence had previously been identified in the subtelomeric region of mini- and megabase chromosomes fromLeishmania braziliensis.Southern hybridisation was used to demonstrate that the repeat is complex specific. The sequence was characterised in strains representing four species of theL. braziliensiscomplex. This data allowed an assessment of the evolutionary relationship of the four species. PCR primers targeted to the repeat amplify only DNA from species of theL. braziliensiscomplex. Titration assays indicate that a minimum of 50 fg of parasite DNA can be detected by PCR alone. Southern hybridisation increases the limit of detection to 5 fg. Interspecies variation in the repeat sequence enabled restriction enzyme digestion of PCR products to distinguish individual species within theL. braziliensiscomplex.     

Microbial community dynamics in mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion of mixed waste

This paper identifies key components of the microbial community involved in the mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion (AD) of mixed waste at Rayong Biogas Plant, Thailand. The AD process is separated into three stages: front end treatment (FET); feed holding tank and the main anaerobic digester. The study examines how the microbial community structure was affected by the different stages and found that seeding the waste at the beginning of the process (FET) resulted in community stability. Also, co-digestion of mixed waste supported different bacterial and methanogenic pathways. Typically, acetoclastic methanogenesis was the major pathway catalysed by Methanosaeta but hydrogenotrophs were also supported. Finally, the three-stage AD process means that hydrolysis and acidogenesis is initiated prior to entering the main digester which helps improve the bioconversion efficiency. This paper demonstrates that both resource availability (different waste streams) and environmental factors are key drivers of microbial community dynamics in mesophilic, anaerobic co-digestion.     

厌氧消化酸抑制研究进展

厌氧消化工艺目前已广泛应用于各类废水的处理处置过程中,但在实际运行中,受消化条件和物料性质的影响,消化系统经常遭受由挥发性脂肪酸积累过多导致的酸抑制问题,引发产气量下降、产甲烷率降低等问题。近年来,有研究者发现,挥发性脂肪酸的种类和浓度及pH、温度是影响酸抑制的主要因素。基于此,相关研究者分别尝试了添加碱性化学药剂和微量元素及利用生物强化技术与微生物电化学技术来解除酸抑制的尝试,并都取得了不错的效果。本文综述了厌氧消化过程中酸抑制的产生过程、抑制机理及恢复方法,以期为解决厌氧消化酸抑制问题提供参考。
