The aqueous concentration of lead [Pb(II)] in geochemical environments is controlled by the solubility of Pb‐bearing minerals and their weathering products. In contaminated soils, a common method for in situ stabilization of Pb(II) is the addition of phosphate to convert more redox sensitive sulfide minerals into sparingly soluble pyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3X]. In this study, we conducted experimental studies to investigate the fate of reduced sulfur during the conversion of galena [PbS] to chloropyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3Cl]. Powder X‐ray diffraction analysis indicated that the reaction of phosphate with galena under oxic conditions resulted in the oxidation of sulfide and formation of elemental sulfur [S8]. Under oxic abiotic conditions, the S8 was retained in the solid phase, and negligible concentrations of sulfur as sulfide and thiosulfate were detected in the aqueous phase and only a small amount of sulfate. When PbS reacted in the presence of the chemoautotrophic organism Bosea sp. WAO, the S8 in the secondary mineral was oxidized to sulfate. Strain WAO produced significantly more sulfate from the secondary S8 than from the primary galena. Microscopic analysis of mineral–microbe aggregates on mineral‐embedded slide cultures showed that the organism was colocalized and increased in biomass over time on the secondary mineral surface supporting a microbial role. The results of this study indicate that stimulation of sulfur‐oxidizing activity may be a direct consequence of phosphate amendments to Pb(II)‐contaminated soils. 相似文献

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons are the most abundant mobile elements in the plant genome and play an important role in the genome reorganization induced by environmental challenges. Their success depends on the ability of their promoters to respond to different signaling pathways that regulate plant adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. We have isolated a new Ty1-copia-like retrotransposon, named Ttd1a from the Triticum durum L. genome. To get insight into stress activation pathways in Ttd1a, we investigated the effect of salt and light stresses by RT-PCR and S-SAP profiling. We screened for Ttd1a insertion polymorphisms in plants grown to stress and showed that one new insertion was located near the resistance gene. Our analysis showed that the activation and mobilization of Ttd1a was controlled by salt and light stresses, which strengthened the hypothesis that stress mobilization of this element might play a role in the defense response to environmental stresses. 相似文献

The design of an electrochemical glucose sensing device formed by the electrodeposition of multifunctional Au nanoparticles is reported here as a novel concept for an enhanced generic sensing platform. Initially gold nanoparticles (Au) were alternatively coated with a layer of positively charged redox polymer (ORP) and a negatively charged glucose oxidase (GOX) layer alternatively using layer-by-layer methodology to form multifunctional Au/ORP/GOX/ORP particles. The modification and stability of the Au nanoparticles was monitored by using UV-vis spectroscopy and zeta-potential measurements. The modified Au nanoparticles were electrophoretically deposited onto an electrode to produce an electrochemical glucose sensing device. A considerable influence of electrophoretic deposition time and potential was found on the sensing platform response. Preliminary responses to glucose addition showed an enhanced performance by applying an electrophoretic deposition potential of +1.2V vs. Ag/AgCl for 30min. The observed response in the case of microelectrode geometry was in the range of mAcm(2). This work also shows that the presence of a second outer ORP layer on the functionalised Au nanoparticles improved the response. 相似文献

We report on a simple approach to enhance solid-phase hybridization-based single base mismatch discrimination at high ionic strength based on the deliberate insertion of a natural DNA base mismatch in the surface-tethered probe. A large drop in hybridization signal of single base mismatched alleles using the designed probe as compared with the conventional probe, from 80% to less than 25% of the signal obtained with the fully complementary, non-mutation-containing sequence, when using colorimetric detection was further improved to 20% when using electrochemical detection, attributable to a difference of spacing of immobilized probes. Finally, the designed probe was used for the electrochemical detection of the DQA1*05:05 allele amplified from real human blood samples. 相似文献

A multianalyte flow electrochemical cell (MAFEC) for bioanalysis is constructed, characterised and used for simultaneous carbohydrate analysis incorporating mediated amperometric enzyme electrodes. Although multidetection schemes can be addressed with microfabricated systems, it is demonstrated that a "meso" analytical device of low cost can give answers to traditional simultaneous multianalysis problems, being robust, and easy to construct and operate. The cell operates as a radial flow thin-layer device and can achieve mass transport controlled response for fast electrochemical reactions. When appropriate enzymatic electrodes are used the response becomes kinetically limited, but still shows a better than 5% R.S.D. for response to different sugars analysed. All the enzymatic sensors are mediated with different osmium compounds appropriate for each enzyme's mechanism (NAD or PQQ dehydrogenases) in some cases combining multienzyme sensors. All sensors were optimised so that different sugars do not produce interferences to other sensors. Matrix interferences were kept low by operating all sensors at or below 150 mV versus Ag/AgCl. The integrated system was used for the simultaneous detection of fructose, sucrose, glucose, galactose, and lactose, fully characterising the system for these analytes (sensitivity, dynamic range). Cross referenced calibration curves were used for signal treatment and interpretation and it was possible to analyse real juice and milk samples with results agreeing with the standard enzymatic methods for the same analyses with a sampling frequency of more than 100 h(-1). 相似文献

Summary
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strains 69 V and CCM 5593 formed a -lactamase that was predominantly found extracellularly in the culture medium. The enzyme has the characteristics of an inducible chromosomally mediated cephalosporinase. Neither cell lysis nor periplasmic leakage are responsible for the extracellular location. The mechanism of secretion is not known.Offprint requests to: P. Borneleit 相似文献
