Boron,copper, iron,manganese and zinc contents in leaves of flowering sunflower plants (Helianthus annuus,L.), grown with different boron supplies

Summary Boron, copper, iron, manganese and zinc concentrations were measured in sunflower leaves from plants grown hydroponically in a closed continuous flow system and with boron concentrations ranging from deficient to toxic. Leaves were analyzed at the stage of flower development. There was a highly significant inverse correlation between B concentration in solution and Mn concentration in leaves. Cu, Fe and Zn concentrations in the leaves were not changed by the different B levels, although the B concentration in leaves increased with an increasing concentration in solution, showing a close correlation each other.     

Using biosorption to enrich the biomass of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chlorella vulgaris </Emphasis>with microelements to be used as mineral feed supplement

The paper discusses biosorption of Cr(III), Cu(II), Mn(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) to the biomass of Chlorella vulgaris, to produce a biologically bound, concentrated form of microelements. The kinetics of biosorption was described with a pseudo-second order equation and equilibrium with the Langmuir isotherm. The mechanism of biosorption was identified as cation-exchange with alkaline metals. Cation-exchange capacity was evaluated as 4.07 meq g⁻¹. The effect of operation conditions, pH and temperature, on biosorption performance was investigated and the best operation conditions for biosorption were selected (pH 5, temperature 25 °C). The maximum sorption capacity of microelements was determined in single-metal system at pH 5 and 25 °C: Zn(II) 3.30 meq g⁻¹, Cu(II) 1.77 meq g⁻¹, Co(II) 1.75 meq g⁻¹, Cr(III) 1.74 meq g⁻¹, Mn(II) 0.764 meq g⁻¹. Biosorption experiments were also carried out in multi-metal system. The biomass of C. vulgaris enriched with microelements via the process of biosorption in both single- and multi-metal system was discussed in terms of preparation of feed supplement for laying hens and piglets. The experiments showed that 1 kg of conventional feed for laying hens can be supplemented with 0.20 g of the biomass enriched with microelements and for piglets with 0.15 g of the preparation.

Blood plasma concentrations of microelements in endurance trained volunteers during hypokinesia and chronic hyperhydration

The objective of this investigation was to determine the effect of daily intake of fluid and salt supplementation (FSS) on increased urinary losses of microelements that developed during hypokinesia (decreased number of walking steps/d). The studies were performed on 30 endurance-trained male volunteers aged 23–26 yr, with an averaged maximum oxygen uptake of 65 mL/kg/min during 364 d of hypokinesia (HK). All volunteers were divided into three equal groups: Ten volunteers were placed continuously under an average of 10,000 running steps/d (14.2 km/d) (control subjects), ten volunteers subjected continuously to HK without the use of FSS (hypokinetic subjects), and ten volunteers were continuously submitted to HK and consumed daily FSS (hyperhydrated subjects). For the simulation of the hypokinetic effect the hypokinetic and hyperhydrated volunteers were kept under an average of 3,000 walking steps/d (2.7 km/d) for 364 d. Prior to their exposure to HK the volunteers were on an average of 10,000 running steps/d (14.2 km/d). During the prehypokinetic period of 60 d and during the hypokinetic period of 364 d were determined renal excretion of microelements responses of endurance-trained volunteers. In the hyperhydrated volunteers urinary excretion of iron, zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt, nickel, lead, tin, chromium, aluminum, molybdenum, and vanadium decreased, whereas in the hypokinetic volunteers it increased significantly. It was concluded that chronic hyperhydration may be used to attenuate urinary excretion of microelements in endurance-trained volunteers during prolonged restriction of muscular activity.     

Calcium,Magnesium, Iron,Zinc and Copper Concentration In the Hair of Tobacco Smokers

In the research, the content of bioelements (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Cu) in the hair of individuals who reside in similar environmental conditions was spectrometrically determined with the use of AES-ICP spectrophotometer. The relation to their tobacco-smoking habit, age, and sex was established. It was observed that the results obtained were in the range of the content identified for the Polish population. Tobacco smokers had a decreased content of all the bioelements in question, compared to non-smokers, which apparently resulted from a decreased supply (lesser appetite) and reduced absorption caused by disturbances in the digestive system functions. Also, it has been observed that in the group of elderly people, over 50 years old, there was a fall in the content of calcium, magnesium, and iron both in smokers and non-smokers, irrespective of their sex. The sex-related differences in the content of the investigated elements were not unidirectional and only in few cases did they reveal statistical significance.     

Gopher mound soil reduces growth and affects ion uptake of two annual grassland species

Summary Portions of an annual serpentine grassland community in California are subject to frequent gopher mound formation. Consequently, studies were undertaken to characterize the effects of mound soils on plant growth and ion uptake. For two of the dominant annual species (Bromus mollis L. and Plantago erecta Morris), growth was reduced in gopher mound soil relative to that in inter-mound soil. A similar reduction in growth was found for plants grown in soils collected at a depth corresponding to the depth of gopher burrowing. This reduction in growth was associated with lower total P and N contents of the soil which were reflected in lower shoot contents of N and P. Additional experiments, however, showed that reduced N and P availabilities in mound soil were not entirely responsible for the growth reduction. Similarly, shoot Ca/Mg ratios were reduced in mound soil but additions of Ca improved the Ca/Mg ratio without improving growth. Growth reductions were associated with altered shoot concentrations of microelements, particularly elevated levels of Mn. A competition experiment between Plantago and Bromus showed that Bromus was more competitive than Plantago in mound and inter-mound soils and that soil type had only small affects on the nature of the interaction between the two species.
