Notes on the origin of inertinite macerals in coals: Observations on the importance of fungi in the origin of macrinite

Macrinite is a, generally, rare inertinite maceral, often incorporating remnants and fragments of other macerals, including vitrinite, liptinite, and other inertinite. The associated inertinites include multiple forms of funginite. Funginite is also commonly found in association with vitrinite of slightly elevated reflectance and with degraded varieties of vitrinite. Together with the highly degraded macrinite, the latter two associations are here inferred to be part of a continuum of fungal and microbial degradation of peat. In any case, the origin of some macrinite is potentially distinct from that of inertinite generated by fire.

Thorium(IV) removal from aqueous medium by citric acid treated mangrove endophytic fungus Fusarium sp. #ZZF51

Thorium(IV) biosorption is investigated by citric acid treated mangrove endophytic fungus Fussarium sp. #ZZF51 (CA-ZZF51) from South China Sea. The biosorption process was optimized at pH 4.5, equilibrium time 90 min, initial thorium(IV) concentration 50 mg L⁻¹ and adsorbent dose 0.6 g L⁻¹ with 90.87% of removal efficiency and 75.47 mg g⁻¹ of adsorption capacity, which is obviously greater than that (11.35 mg g⁻¹) of the untreated fungus Fussarium sp. #ZZF51 for thorium(IV) biosorption under the condition of optimization. The experimental data are analyzed by using isotherm and kinetic models. Kinetic data follow the pseudo-second-order model and equilibrium data agree very well with the Langmuir model. In addition, FTIR analysis indicates that hydroxyl, amino, and carbonyl groups act as the important roles in the adsorption process.

中华绒螯蟹受精卵离体培育的初步研究

用实验生态学的方法对培养中华绒螯蟹离体胚胎的条件进行了研究。结果表明,温度不仅直接影响胚胎的发育速度,而且通过影响水中真菌的繁殖间接但明显地影响胚胎的存活率。光照对胚胎发育的影响不明显,用０．０５￣０．１ｍｇ／Ｌ的孔雀石绿、２￣８ｍｇ／Ｌ的亚甲基蓝,２０￣５０ｍｇ／Ｌ的福尔马林或３￣５ｍｌ／Ｌ的制霉茵素都能有效地抑制水中真菌的生长,在无真菌感染的情况下,能有效地在４￣８℃保存离体河蟹胚胎６０ｄ,孵     

Natural antifouling compounds produced by a novel fungus Aureobasidium pullulans HN isolated from marine biofilm

A fungus, Aureobasidium pullulans, was isolated from marine biofilm and identified. A bioassay-guided fractionation procedure was developed to isolate and purify antifouling compounds from A. pullulans HN. The procedure was: fermentation broth—aeration and addition of sodium thiosulfate–graduated pH and liquid–liquid extraction—SPE purification—GC–MS analysis. Firstly, the fermentation broth was tested for its toxicity. Then it was treated with aeration and addition of sodium thiosulfate, and its toxicity was almost not changed. Lastly, antifouling compounds were extracted at different pH, the extract had high toxicity at pH 2 but almost no toxicity at pH 10, which suggested the toxicants should be fatty acids. The EC₅₀ of the extract against Skeletonema costatum was 90.9 μg ml⁻¹, and its LC₅₀ against Balanus amphitrete larvae was 22.2 μg ml⁻¹. After purified by HLB SPE column, the EC₅₀ of the extract against S. costatum was 49.4 μg ml⁻¹. The myristic and palmitic acids were found as the main toxicants by GC–MS.     

Column Bioleaching of Arsenic and Heavy Metals from Gold Mine Tailings by Aspergillus fumigatus

A column bioleaching experiment was carried out to compare the effectiveness of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus to bioleach arsenic (As) and heavy metals from the tailings using two different methods. In the first method, which is named as distribution method (DM), the fungus was distributed in the column by means of vertical and horizontal layers of coarse sand. In the other method, named as surface applied method (SAM), the fungus was cultivated on the surface of the tailings, which was covered with a few centimeters of coarse sand. Results showed that in the DM, oxalic acid production was stimulated and maximum removal of As, Fe, Mn, and Zn was 53, 51, 81, and 62%, respectively. However, Pb removal was low (8%), which might be due to the precipitation of Pb as its oxalates. On the other hand, the maximum removal of As, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn were 22, 28, 37, 64, and 34%, respectively, for the SAM. Results of the sequential extraction study showed that the DM was effective in removing the water soluble, exchangeable, carbonate, and Fe/Mn oxide fractions of As, Fe, Mn, and Zn. Our study suggested that A. fumigatus has a potential to be used in remediation of heavy metal contaminated sites. Distributing the fungus throughout the entire tailings columns improved the bioleaching of heavy metals by the fungus.
