Weathering of mine tailings have resulted in high As concentrations in water (up to 2900 μg l− 1) and sediment (up to 900 mg kg− 1) samples around the Adak mine. Notably, As occurs as As(III) species (15–85%) in the oxic surface and ground water samples, which is not common. Time-series based sediment incubations were set up in the laboratory with contaminated sediments to study the microbial processes involved in transformation and remobilization of As across the sediment–water interface. The microcosm experiments indicate that microorganisms are capable of surviving in As-rich sediments and reduce As(V) to As(III). A decrease in total As concentration in sediments is coupled to an increase in As(III) concentration in the aqueous media. In contrast, the controls (treated with HgCl2 and formaldehyde) did not show growth, and As(V) concentrations increased steadily in the sediments and aqueous medium. The results imply that active metabolism is necessary for As(V) reduction. These microorganisms possess reduction mechanisms that are not necessarily coupled to respiration, but most likely impart resistance to As toxicity. 相似文献

Sediment metal profiles were carefully examined for their distribution, chemical fractions, and mobility in three major marine-estuarine
transects in the world’s largest mangrove (Sundarban) ecosystem because anthropogenic influences had been very often noticed.
The level of pollutants was determined by CF and PLI. Metal contents in the freshly deposited sediment of Hugli transect were
relatively high (Pb, Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni, and Co) in comparison to Matla and Saptamukhi due to lithogenic contribution from large
catchments area (8 × 105 km2). Principal component analysis and correlation coefficient revealed that the concentrations of metals were mainly governed
by the variability of the sediment properties. Sediment was subjected to sequential chemical extractions to delineate metal
fractions, namely exchangeable, carbonate, Fe–Mn oxide, organic, and residual. This indicated a valuable insight into the
geochemical mode of the metal retention and their environmental behavior. Single extraction did not help significantly to
explain the metal profiling. 相似文献

The Bathonian ammonite assemblages have been previously poorly recorded in Kutch. The present study has unearthed a rich array of ammonite taxa ranging from the Middle to Upper Bathonian. While Oxycerites Rollier (1909) is a new record from Kutch, the oldest occurrence of Choffatia Siemiradzki (1898) has been found from the Middle Bathonian horizon. Oxycerites cf. orbis (Giebel) is a zonal index of the Late Bathonian in other areas and thus facilitates interprovincial correlation. Besides, palaeobiogeographic and stratigraphic distribution of many species have been modified based on new information. For example, macrocephalitin species, i.e., Kamptokephalites cf. etheridgei Spath (1928), Macrocephalites bifurcatus transient intermedius Spath (1928), M. cf. mantataranus Boehm (1912) were previously known from West Pacific, Indonesia have been now found in Kutch. Gracilisphinctes Buckman (1920) has been previously known to occur during the Middle Bathonian time, the present work extends its stratigraphic distribution up to the definite Upper Bathonian horizon. Procerites hians (Waagen) an endemic species in Kutch previously known from the Upper Bathonian beds, its stratigraphic range has been extended down to the Middle Bathonian.Detail taxonomy of the newly obtained taxa has been done and in many cases sexual dimorphism has been recognized. 相似文献
