人类活动对太湖水环境影响的稳定氮同位素示踪

人类活动对湖泊环境变化的影响是目前全球变化研究的热点之一.识别水体中人为氮源的贡献对于研究人类活动对湖泊环境变化的影响十分重要.稳定氮同位素组成(δ15N)是水环境中人为氮源的有效示踪剂.太湖是我国典型的大型浅水富营养湖泊,位于人口稠密、经济发达的长江三角洲地区,是研究人类活动对水环境影响的理想对象.太湖水体δ15N值的空间分异规律大致反映了不同湖区人类活动影响水环境的方式,上游宜兴小流域及河口主要受农业活动影响,胥口湾和东太湖则主要是水产养殖的贡献,梅梁湾受城市生活污水影响较大.而且水体δ15N值的水平反映了人类活动的影响从南部湖区到北部湖区逐渐加强的趋势,表现为南部河口—东太湖—梅梁湾不同水体从草型水体到藻型水体δ15N值增加的趋势.另外,夏季(6月)太湖水体δ15N值的变化响应于初级生产力的变化,体现了生物作用的影响.在蓝藻水华暴发时期,利用水体δ15N值识别人为氮源的结果可能会受到生物过程的干扰.     

城市污染河道沉积物可提取态氮的提取方式比较

以城市污染河道——南京仙林大学城九乡河表层沉积物为研究对象,探讨沉积物常用提取剂(1 mol/L KCl、2 mol/L KCl、4 mol/L KCl和0.01 mol/L CaCl2)在不同液土比(5∶1、10∶1、50∶1和100∶1)条件下,对城市污染河道沉积物可提取态氮(NH4+-N、NO3--N)测定的影响.结果表明:KCl的提取效果要优于CaCl2,二者NH4+-N提取量分别为312.17～479.23、177.52～339.31 mg/kg,NO3--N提取量分别为4.49～21.56、4.25～8.53 mg/kg;可提取态氮提取量随液土比增高而增大,其中1 mol/L KCl组,液土比100∶1时NH4+-N和NO3--N提取量分别比液土比5∶1时增加41.97%和187.08%;NH4+-N提取量随提取剂浓度增高而增大,NO3--N随提取剂浓度增高而降低;采用1 mol/L KCl提取剂、液土比100∶1的组合联合提取城市污染河道沉积物中的NH4+-N、NO3--N,提取效果较好.     

Changes in carbon and nitrogen cycling in a floodplain lake over recent decades linked to littoral expansion,declining riverine influx,and eutrophication

This study aimed to understand changes in the biogeochemical processing of organic matter (OM) in response to multiple stressors (e.g., littoral area expansion, wastewater input, and hydrological regulation) in East Dongting Lake (Central China) over the past 60 years, using analyses of total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), C/N ratios, δ¹³C, δ¹⁵N, and diatoms from 2 sediment cores collected from the littoral and central parts of the lake. OM mainly originated from phytoplankton and C₃ plant‐derived soil OM based on the ranges of C/N ratios (from 7 to 11) and δ¹³C (between ?27‰ and ?23‰). Littoral area expansion due to siltation caused an increasing influx of terrestrial soil OM in the 1980s and the 1990s, subsequently lowering δ¹³C values and rising C/N ratios in both sediment cores. Meanwhile, higher δ¹⁵N was linked to a high influx of isotopically heavy nitrate from urban and agricultural wastewaters. After 2000, slight decreases in TOC and TN in the littoral area were attributable to reducing inputs of external OM, likely linked to declining sediment influx from the upper reaches resulting from the Three Gorges Dam impoundment. Contrasting increases in TOC, TN, and C/N ratios in the central part indicated a high influx of terrestrial soil OM due to the declining distance from the shoreline with littoral area expansion. Declining δ¹⁵N values after 2000 indicated an increase in N₂‐fixing cyanobacteria with eutrophication. Changes in diatom assemblages in both the littoral and central zones reflected nutrient enrichment and hydrological alterations. These results indicate that littoral expansion, declining riverine influx, and anthropogenic nutrient inputs are potential driving forces for the biogeochemical processing of OM in floodplain lakes. This study provides sedimentary biogeochemical clues for tracking past limnological conditions of floodplain lakes that are subjected to increasing disturbances from hydrological regulation and eutrophication.     

人工配合饲料与小杂鱼饲养赤点石斑鱼效果的对比试验

本试验分别以配合饲料、小杂鱼饲养赤点石斑鱼，观察不同饲料对其生长和养殖水体氮、磷含量变化的影响，经过42d的饲养，投喂配合饲料的试验组与投喂小杂鱼的对照组尾平均日增重分别为0．60、0．50g／尾，饲料系数分别为2．34、7．90。赤点石斑鱼摄食后水体中的NH3-N、NO2-N、TP含量随着其摄食后时间的延长呈先升高后下降的趋势，NH3-N、TP含量在鱼摄食后18～22h内达到高峰，NO2-N含量在鱼摄食后10～14h达到高峰。试验组水体的NH3-N含量低于对照组(p＜0．01)，NO2-N含量在排泄高峰期也低于对照组(p＜0．10)，TP含量在鱼排泄高峰期高于对照组(声＜0．05)。     

Influence of Culture Conditions on Poly‐3‐Hydroxybutyrate Production by a Newly Isolated Bacillus cereus Y23

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), environmental friendly polyesters, can be produced by a wide range of microorganisms in nutrient‐limiting conditions. In the present study a new bacterial strain, able to produce high quantities of poly‐3‐hydroxybutyrate (PHB), is isolated from contaminated soil. The isolate is characterized and identified as Bacillus cereus Y23, based on morphological, physiological characteristics, and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences. PHB production is evaluated using different carbon and nitrogen sources and nutritional and culture conditions are optimized. The highest PHB production of 5.12 g L^?1 was obtained in growth medium containing fructose and ammonium sulfate at a C/N ratio of 30, 0.3% yeast extract, 4.5 g L^?1 phosphate solution, pH 7, inoculum size of 0.3%, and agitation rate of 150 rpm after 48 h of incubation at 32 °C. The PHB production decrement can be attributed to the intracellular utilization of the polymer during the stationary phase of the cellular growth and to the sporulation process. The presence of the main functional groups of PHB polymer is verified by Fourier‐transform infrared analysis. At optimum conditions, B. cereus Y23 turned out to be a good candidate for industrial production of PHB since it accumulates up to 67.9% of its dry weight.     

Biodegradation by Co‐inoculated Bacteria and Fungi Alleviates Adverse Effects of Red‐S3B on Growth and Nitrogen Uptake of Wheat

Textile wastewater contains huge quantities of nitrogen (N)‐containing azo‐dyes. Irrigation of crops with such wastewater adds toxic dyes into our healthy soils. One of the ways to prevent their entry to soils could be these waters after the dyes' biodegradation. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of textile dyes on wheat growth, dye degradation efficiency of bacteria‐fungi consortium, and alleviation of dye toxicity in wheat by treatment with microbial consortium. Among dyes, Red‐S3B (3.19% N) was found to be the most toxic to germination and growth of seven‐day‐old wheat seedlings. Shewanella sp. NIAB‐BM15 and Aspergillus terreus NIAB‐FM10 were found to be efficient degraders of Red‐S3B. Their consortium completely decolorized 500 mg L^?1 Red‐S3B within 4 h. Irrigation with Red‐S3B‐contaminated water after treatment with developed consortium increased root length, shoot length, root biomass, and shoot biomass of 30‐day‐old wheat seedlings by 47, 18, 6, and 25%, respectively, than untreated water. Moreover, irrigation after microbial treatment of dye‐contaminated water resulted in 20 and 51% increase in shoot N content and N uptake, respectively, than untreated water. Thus, co‐inoculation of bacteria and fungi could be a useful bioremediation strategy for the treatment of azo‐dye‐polluted water.     

氮、磷浓度对太湖水华微囊藻(Microcystis flos-aquae)群体生长的影响

大量微囊藻群体的形成和聚集是微囊藻水华形成的重要条件.氮、磷浓度是影响微囊藻群体生长的重要因素之一.为了探讨氮、磷浓度对微囊藻群体生长的影响,本研究以太湖微囊藻水华优势种之一的水华微囊藻作为研究对象,开展了不同氮、磷浓度对水华微囊藻群体生长的影响研究.以近几年太湖微囊藻水华暴发最严重的梅梁湾氮磷比的平均值作参考,氮、磷浓度设置为5个水平组,依次是T1(TN=0.1 mg/L,TP=0.005 mg/L)、T2(TN=1 mg/L,TP=0.05 mg/L)、T3(TN=10 mg/L,TP=0.5 mg/L)、T4(TN=100 mg/L,TP=5 mg/L)和T5(TN=250 mg/L,TP=5.44 mg/L)(BG-11培养基中氮、磷的浓度).结果显示,T1、T2、T3和T4 4组微囊藻群体均增大,且都发现有大于100个细胞的群体形成,群体大小分别为151、217、437和160 cells,而T5组微囊藻群体实验初期增大,实验后期变小,T5整个实验期间未发现有大于100个细胞的群体形成.研究结果表明相对低的氮、磷浓度有利于水华微囊藻群体的生长,而过高的氮、磷浓度则会抑制微囊藻群体生长.本研究结果也表明目前太湖氮、磷浓度有利于水华微囊藻群体的生长,从而有利于微囊藻水华形成.     

太湖藻源性颗粒物分解过程中氨基酸的变化特征

在实验条件下研究了高浓度蓝藻堆积后水体中的藻源性颗粒物中氨基酸的分解速率、分解量和氨基酸态氮形态的变化情况.在自然光照组中,颗粒态氨基酸(PAA)的浓度从实验前的0.46 mmol/L降至实验后的0.30 mmol/L;而在无光分解组中PAA从0.44 mmol/L降至0.06 mmol/L.两种处理下PAA的降解速率常数分别为0.03916和0.17424 d~(-1).溶解态氨基酸(DAA)在分解过程中浓度比较低,随时间的变化表现出先增大后减小的趋势,在两种不同的处理下,最大值分别为10.94和7.94μmol/L,21 d后减小到与实验开始时持平,甚至低于初始值.实验初期,PAA所占比例高达74%~80%,但迅速被分解转化为DAA和铵态氮(NH_4~+-N),随着实验的进行NH_4~+-N又逐渐转化为硝态氮,其中无光分解组中的分解更为彻底,而自然光照组中PAA分解量小于无光分解组.实验结果表明,氨基酸作为水体中浮游植物的潜在氮源,可以被分解为水华过程中藻类所需的NH_4~+-N,对水华的维持具有一定的促进作用.     

贵州草海不同水位梯度下沉积物氮赋存形态及分布特征

利用分级浸取分离法,分析贵州草海湿地沉积物总氮（TN）与可转化态氮（TF-N）含量及分布特征,试图揭示水位抬升对草海湿地沉积物氮潜在释放风险的影响.结果表明,草海湿地沉积物TN含量在1.94~14.07 g/kg之间,均值为7.76 g/kg;TF-N含量较高,在1.70~7.59 g/kg之间,占TN的68.7%;不同形态氮含量依次为有机态及硫化物结合态氮（OSF-N） > 离子交换态氮（IEF-N） > 铁锰氧化态氮（IMOF-N） > 弱酸可浸取态氮（WAEF-N）;不同水位梯度下各形态氮含量变化规律不同,OSF-N、IMOF-N含量沿着水位升高呈逐渐增加趋势,IEF-N含量呈先增加后降低的趋势,WAEF-N含量变化不大;TN和总非可转化态氮（NTF-N）与有机质（SOM）含量之间呈显著正相关,可能具有相似的来源.总之,草海沉积物TF-N含量及比例较高,潜在释放风险较大,而水位抬升抑制氮的转化,促进沉积物氮积累,增加释放风险.该研究揭示了不同水位梯度下沉积物氮形态分布特征,丰富了水文条件对氮迁移转化影响的理解,为湿地生态补水工程的管理决策提供了科学依据.
