Advances in Glycerol Dialkyl Glycerol Tetraethers and Long-Chain Alkyl Diols in the Marine Sediments: Implications for Paleoclimatic and Paleoenvironmental Changes

Lipid biomarkers widely dotted in marine sediments, as their distribution characteristics accurately record huge information on the metabolism of the original organisms and migration and transformation of these organic components, are often used to reconstruct the paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental conditions. This paper reviewed the progress in the study of paleoclimatic-environmental changes during the late Quaternary using abundant core lipids Glycerol Dialkyl Glyceryl Tetraethers (GDGTs) and long-chain alkyl diols in marginal sea sediments. It is pointed out that clarifying the “source-sink” process of lipid biomarkers buried in marine sediments is a prerequisite for paleoclimatic-environmental reconstruction. It is believed that the use of multiple indicators that are less affected by early diagenesis can increase the accuracy of reconstructing paleoclimatic changes. In the large-river dominated marginal seas, the mechanism of land-sea climate coupling evolution stimulated by the paleoclimatic-environmental changes can be elucidated based on paleoclimatic records reconstructed from core lipids GDGTs and long-chain alkyl diols in marine sediments. It is hoped that this paper can provide reliable technical means and a solid theoretical basis for predicting future temperature and rainfall changes.     

坡面流层流区动力学特性

为完善坡面水流的基础理论研究,基于定床水槽试验,以甘油溶液为试验流体,采用超声波测量技术,进行了4种粗糙度、5种坡度和13种单宽流量条件下的组合试验,研究了坡面流层流区的动力学特性及滚波特征。研究结果表明:在雷诺数为8~160的范围内,流态指数在理论值0.33附近波动,且随粗糙度的增大呈现先增大后减小的变化趋势,在粗糙度为0.10 mm附近达到峰值;阻力系数受坡度和粗糙度影响显著,可较好地由坡度、粗糙度和雷诺数的关系式表示;随着雷诺数的增大,滚波波速和波峰均呈幂函数形式递增,滚波周期大小无明显变化;坡度的增大会使层流失稳临界单宽流量减小,粗糙度的增大会使临界弗劳德数的均值减小。

TEXPRESS v1.0: A MATLAB toolbox for efficient processing of GDGT LC–MS data

Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) analysis of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) from sediment and soil samples has become a widely adopted approach for reconstructing past ocean and continental climate variables such as temperature and pH. The LC–MS data used for constructing these GDGT climate proxies are taken directly from the peak area values of individual GDGT [M+H]⁺ ions, often determined from manual peak integration due to unreliable computer integrators in commercial software, particularly in cases of complex baselines, asymmetric peak shapes and peak coelution. Manual integration is not only time consuming, but also prone to user induced inconsistency when individuals utilize different criteria for peak/baseline definition. To overcome these problems, we have developed a user friendly, graphical user interface (GUI) programmed in the MATLAB environment, allowing users to efficiently and reproducibly perform batch processing and peak integration of LC–MS data. The program, “TEXPRESS” v1.0 (“tetraether index express”), incorporates modern chemometric based techniques for baseline definition and deconvolution of complex chromatographic peaks and we show that LC–MS data processed using the TEXPRESS toolbox are in strong agreement with results obtained from manual peak integration. We provide a general overview of the concepts and architecture of the TEXPRESS toolbox and discuss the advantages of chemometric based peak integration methods for processing branched and isoprenoid GDGT LC–MS data.     

滇池湖泊沉积物中甘油二烷基甘油四醚脂的组成特征

以云贵高原浅水湖泊—滇池作为研究对象,在对湖心一个63 cm沉积物柱样的有机质总体及分子有机地球化学研究的基础上,对沉积物有机质中甘油二烷基甘油四醚脂（GDGTs）组成进行了测定。研究结果表明,滇池湖泊沉积物中具有丰富的GDGTs,且以反映陆相土壤来源的支链类GDGTs为主。该沉积柱样中支链类GDGTs的环化指标（CBT）和甲基化指标（MBT）揭示出:1）整个沉积阶段滇池流域土壤的pH值主要介于7.5~8.2,相对中、下部层段,上部层段pH值呈现略微减小的趋势;2）基于CBT/MBT重建的滇池流域内年平均气温呈现由早期的温暖潮湿气候逐渐向寒冷干燥气候变化,近来又有所回暖的变化过程,这可以很好地解释该沉积柱中、下层段记录的总体有机质主要特征的演化规律。     

电渗析-厌氧膜生物反应器处理含甘油高盐废水

利用电渗析(ED)-厌氧膜生物反应器(AnMBR)处理含甘油高盐废水,电渗析过程脱盐率达99%以上,平均能耗为616kJ/L,电流效率91.4%。AnMBR处理含甘油废水过程中COD去除率达95%,膜在COD去除中发挥了重要作用,其COD截留率为41%~81%。期间发生膜污染现象,跨膜压差快速上升并最终稳定在0.040~0.043MPa。AnMBR沼气中甲烷比例为78.3%,甘油比产甲烷速率0.252LCH4/g甘油。甘油在厌氧条件下首先转变成丙酸,然后再被分解。研究证明,在厌氧处理甘油的过程中有机负荷不宜过大,否则会造成严重的挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)积累,尤其是丙酸的积累。此外,CaCl2浓度与甘油转化关系的实验结果表明:厌氧菌群受到4%以下盐度冲击时能在6d内恢复活性,受到6%以上盐度冲击将导致活性恢复缓慢。因此,厌氧反应器进水盐度需控制在4%以内。研究还发现VFA中丙酸所占比例随着盐度升高逐渐下降,说明高盐度会使厌氧菌活性受到抑制,影响甘油降解。     

冲绳海槽中部8.2ka以来GDGTs组成及温度重建*

异戊二烯类甘油二烷基甘油四醚脂类化合物(isoprenoid Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers, isoGDGTs)在海洋奇古菌(Thaumarchaeota)中广泛存在, 其结构对温度变化的敏感性使其成为广受欢迎的古气候与古温度重建材料。在北冰洋和西太平洋气候以及黑潮等多种因素的影响下, 冲绳海槽中部成为研究全新世以来古海洋和古气候变化的天然实验室。本文通过研究C14柱状沉积物的GDGTs组成、含量变化特征及其延伸的86个碳原子的四醚指标(tetraether index of tetraethers consisting of 86 carbons, TEX^H₈₆), 分析冲绳海槽中部的GDGTs来源, 并定量计算C14柱状沉积物记录的海洋表面温度(sea surface temperature, SST), 从而探讨8.2ka以来冲绳海槽中部古温度变化的驱动机制。通过甲烷指数和支链/异戊二烯类指标等, 我们确认isoGDGTs主要来自于氨氧化古菌, 适用于古温度重建。距今8.2ka以来, TEX^H₈₆ SST的变化范围是21.6~27.2℃。冲绳海槽中部SST主要受到西热带太平洋、低纬度冬季日晒量的影响; TEX^H₈₆指标记录的温度上升趋势与东亚夏季风强度的减弱不一致。7.4—6.6ka冷事件广泛存在于冲绳海槽的SST记录中, 但只在TEX^H₈₆数据中显示较大幅度的降低(~5℃), 我们推测可能受到Kikai-Akahoya火山灰(~7.3ka)的影响。     

氮磷比对盐藻生长及甘油和色素累积的影响

将盐藻在［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］（氮磷浓度比）为０．５至６０．０的培养液中进行培养,测定了不同实验条件下［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］比值对盐藻生长、培养液中甘油和叶绿素含量以及β－胡萝卜素累积的影响,并初步建立了盐藻在不同［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］比值下的生长动力学模式。研究结果表明,在［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］为２５时,盐藻的生长最佳。［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］比值变化对甘油含量的影响不大。［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］比值小于１５时,叶绿素含量随［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］比值的增加而增加;比值大于１５时,叶绿素含量基本不受［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］比值变化的影响．单细胞β－胡萝卜素含量随［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］比值的增加而减少,而培养液中β－胡萝卜素含量在［Ｎ］／［Ｐ］比值小于１５时基本不受影响,比值大于１５时含量呈下降趋势。     

一种诱导模式和甘油补料优化策略提高重组大肠杆菌BL21（DE3）β-琼胶酶的产量

琼胶酶是作用于琼胶的水解酶,在食品、化妆品和制药工业中有广泛的应用。本文建立了一种基于诱导模式和甘油补料优化的高细胞密度和高产β-琼胶酶策略,同时可以较好的控制乙酸盐产量。首先,在诱导前期采用不同的比生长速率（μ）的甘油指数补料策略。结果表明,低的比生长速率（μ=0.2）是细胞生长和β-琼胶酶产生的最佳条件。其次,研究了诱导阶段诱导温度和诱导物浓度对细胞生长和β-琼胶酶产生的影响。当异丙基-β-d-硫代半乳糖苷（IPTG）诱导时,在20℃下0.8mmol/L的IPTG诱导策略对β-琼胶酶的产生效果最佳。采用1.0g/（L·h）的乳糖连续补料策略诱导培养,β-琼胶酶活性达到112.5U/mL,是目前报道的产量最高的β-琼胶酶。此外,β-琼胶酶能直接酶解龙须菜粉,产生新琼寡糖,水解产物为新琼胶四糖（NA4）和新琼胶六糖（NA6）。本文的研究为β-琼胶酶的工业化生产和应用提供了较好的理论依据。
