A geomicrobiological study of soils collected from auriferous areas of Argentina

Geomicrobial and geochemical studies were carried out in Argentina (Patagonia, Chubut Province) on four Au and polymetallic sulfide vein-type deposits. A horizon soils were analyzed for Bacillus reacting to lecithin [Bacillus L.(+)], Au and 12 additional elements. In two of the four sampling sites, exhibiting known and relatively simple mineralized structures, Bacillus L.(+) populations are clearly related to Au, As, Pb, Zn, Cu-sulfide mineralization. In areas containing more complex mineralized structures, the spatial relationship between Bacillus L.(+) and metals in the A horizon is more difficult to interpret. Results of a factor analysis performed on all analytical data (n = 130) suggest a partial relationship between Bacillus L.(+) and Au-As-Y pedochemical associations located above known Au mineralization. Bacillus L.(+) was first analyzed in Argentina in December 1994 and re-analyzed in Belgium five to seven months later. Most of the Bacillus contents (85%) of the Belgian tests are higher than those determined in Argentina. The present results and data of a previous study in Mexico (Melchior et al., 1994a; Melchior et al., 1994b) suggest that this may be the result of temperature variations during sample storage between periods of microbial analysis. From a strictly analytical point of view, the geomicrobial method is not an accurate, reproducible technique. However, Bacillus L.(+) can be used as a microbiological indicator of Au and polymetallic mineralization at a reconnaissance-level regional survey. At a local scale, this microbiological tool should be combined with classical exploration techniques such as soil geochemistry. It is recommended that the collection of all A horizon samples (for microbial study) should be accompanied by B or C horizon soils (for potential geochemical study, after prioritizing targets) so that a second field sampling program does not have to be undertaken.

生防细菌K2-1对大菱鲆病原菌的抑制作用及其抗菌特性分析

为探讨生防细菌应用于水产养殖动物细菌病防治的可行性,作者从厦门市海沧港口污泥中筛选到一株蜡状芽孢杆菌(Bacillus cereus)K2-1,利用琼脂扩散法发现其发酵上清对大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)养殖常见致病菌——副溶血弧菌(Vibrio parahaemolyticus)、爱德华氏菌(Edwardsiella)、哈维氏弧菌(Vibrio harveyi)、嗜水气单胞菌(Aeromonas hydrophila)、溶藻弧菌(Vibrio alginolyticus))有较强拮抗作用。进一步分析抗菌物质的部分特性,结果显示,蜡状芽孢杆菌(Bacillus cereus)K2-1发酵产生的抗菌物质含有蛋白(肽)类成分,该抗菌物质具有一定的耐热性,其在温度40~70℃的条件下保持较好的抑菌效果,对酸碱度也有很强的耐受力,pH在3.0~9.0范围内,活性降低少于15%,对紫外线不敏感,对胰蛋白酶、胃蛋白酶、木瓜蛋白酶也不敏感,但对蛋白酶K敏感。从实验结果可以初步确定该菌具有较好的开发价值。     

Study on the flocculability of metal ions by<Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus mucilaginosus</Emphasis> GY03 strain

This study deals with the flocculability of two types of metal ions by Bacillus macilaginosus GY03 Strain, with an emphasis on the influence of pH conditions, volume and time of flocculants produced by GY03 Strain on the adsorption of metal irons such as Pb^2 and Mn^2 and the capabilities of floceulants to adsorb metal ions of different concentrations. The results showed that microbial flocculants produced by Bacillus mucilaginosus GY03 Strain are highly capable of flocculating metal ions, but show different effectiveness with respect to the adsorption of Pb^2 and Mn^2 . In accordance with the experimental data and actual waste-water treatment conditions, the relevant regression equation of floeculation has been deduced, which has found some application in practice. The experimental results of this study demonstrated that microbial flocculants produced by Bacillus mucilaginosus can be used to treat metallic ion-containing waste water. In practical application the volume of microbial floceulants required and flocculation conditions should be taken into comprehensive consideration in accordance with the properties of metal ions, the composition of anions and the solubility of other metals, in combination with the cost and effectiveness of floceulants to be used. Floeeulant used in this experiment has the advantages of being applied over a wide range of pH values, small flocculant volume, and rapid speed of floeeulation. So this kind of flocculant is within excellent prospect of application.     

地衣芽孢杆菌De株之胞外产物对凡纳滨对虾淀粉酶活性影响的体外研究

试验以半透膜法收集地衣芽孢杆菌(Bacillus licheniformis)De株的胞外产物(extracellular products,ECP),以匀浆离心法提取凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)成虾的肝胰腺和肠道消化酶,将芽孢杆菌胞外产物和对虾消化酶按体积比10∶90混合,采用体外分析法研究在不同温度、pH及胞外产物添加量等条件下胞外产物对对虾淀粉酶活性的影响.试验共设A、B、C、D、E 5个试验组,每组三个平行.其中空白组A为地衣芽孢杆菌的胞外产物,试验组B、C组分别为添加了胞外产物的对虾肝胰腺消化酶、肠道消化酶,对照组D、E分别为未添加胞外产物的对虾肝胰腺消化酶和肠道消化酶样品.温度为20～40℃时试验组B、C的淀粉酶活性要明显高于对照组(p＜0.05),其中肝胰腺淀粉酶和肠道淀粉酶的活性分别提高了25.9%和19.3%,但该温度要远低于芽孢杆菌胞外淀粉酶的最适温度60～90℃.在pH为5～6时,试验组B、C的淀粉酶活性明显高于对照组(p＜0.05),对虾肝胰腺淀粉酶和肠道淀粉酶的活性分别较对照组提高了33.3%和122.2%,而该pH同样要低于芽孢杆菌胞外淀粉酶的最适pH值(6～9).此外,研究还表明试验组的淀粉酶活性随胞外产物添加量的升高而降低,即胞外产物在一定条件下可能抑制对虾内源淀粉酶的生物学活性.从本研究看,地衣芽孢杆菌胞外产物在一定程度上可促进对虾的淀粉酶活性,而当胞外产物活性高于0.02 U/mg蛋白质时,对虾淀粉酶活性将受到抑制.

应用芽孢杆菌调控虾池微生态的初步研究

监测了施用芽孢杆菌(Bacillussp.)后的养虾池水体和底泥总异养细菌和弧菌数量以及水体浮游微藻数量的变化,分析了应用芽孢杆菌对养殖环境微生态的影响。结果表明,芽孢杆菌对虾池水体的异养细菌和弧菌生长和繁殖具有一定的抑制作用,对底泥异养菌和弧菌具有一定的促进作用,能促进浮游微藻的平稳繁殖。芽胞杆菌通过这些作用抑制了水体中条件致病菌的繁殖,促进了虾池物质和能量的循环,有利于虾池的自我净化。

Screening and Characterization of Nitrite-Degrading Bacterial Isolates Using a Novel Culture Medium

In this study,a novel culture medium that simulates shrimp pond conditions was established to screen nitrite-degrading isolates.The medium was supplemented with nitrite as a nitrogen source and shrimp feed as the major carbon source,to achieve the high nitrogen and low carbon nutritional status found in shrimp farming ponds.Screening using this medium identified potent denitrifying Bacillus isolates,among which Bacillus subtilis M7-1 was considered best.M7-1 was able to completely degrade nitrite-N in 24 h without much consumption of dissolved oxygen.Efficient denitrification activity took place in liquid cultures within a set of non-stringent ranges of pH(5.0–9.0),salinity(0–30)and temperature(25–35℃).The denitrifying enzyme gene was amplified,sequenced and further identified as nirS type.In biosecurity assessments,M7-1 had no negative effects on shrimps at a dose of 106 cfu mL−1.M7-1 could therefore be used in aquaculture to reduce and control the nitrogen concentration,and to promote the development of sustainable and healthy culture systems.
