简化连续提取法评价污染土壤中Zn、Cd的植物有效性

以0．01mol·L^-1 CaCl2和0．005mol·L^-1 1DTPA作为提取剂，用简化的3步连续提取法对贵州省赫章县土法炼锌污染土壤中Zn、Cd的形态进行了分析．结果显示，污染土壤中Zn、Cd主要以残渣态的形式存在，CaCl2提取态和DTPA提取态Zn、CA平均仅占全量的0．63%、3．91％和lO．94％、10．13％．土壤中不同形态Zn、Cd含量与玉米中Zn、CA含量的相关分析结果显示，CaCl2提取态金属与玉米中金属含量投有显著的相关关系，而DTPA提取态、残渣态以及总量Zn、Cd与玉米根、茎叶中Zn、Cd含量显著正相关．这些结果表明CaCl2提取态Zn、Cd对土壤中该元素的植物有效态可能不具重要贡献，而DTPA提取态金属和金属总量在一定程度上能作为评价土壤中元素植物有效性的标准．

海南土壤中Zn、Pb、Cu、Cd四种重金属含量及其生物有效性的研究

对海南63 个土壤样品中的Zn、Pb、Cu、Cd 四种重金属的总量和生物有效态含量以及45 个植物样(根、茎、叶) 中的重金属含量分别进行了测定,采样点基本上覆盖了海南全省,测定结果表明,土壤中Zn 总量低于全国平均值,而Pb、Cu、Cd 高于全国平均值,土壤中重金属生物有效态含量一般低于其总量的10 % ,其中Pb 最高为7. 71 % ,而Cu 仅为1. 13 % ,具有较大的变异性;植物中重金属含量与土壤中重金属总量呈现负相关性,但与土壤中有效态重金属含量一般呈现正相关性,叶中的重金属含量与土壤中有效态重金属含量之间的相关性更为显著,叶中的重金属含量与土壤中有效态重金属含量之间的相关系数分别为: Zn (01726) ,Cu (01626) , Pb(01774) ,Cd(01512) 。这说明土壤中重金属总量并不能全面的评价土壤的环境效应和重金属的生物有效性,应该把重金属总量和生物有效态含量结合起来加以研究,并应将土壤中重金属的含量与植物中该元素含量之间作相关分析,根据其相关系数的大小来判断其生物有效性的程度。

扬子地块西南缘铅锌矿床Cd、Ge与Ga富集规律初步研究

扬子地块西南缘分布着大量富含Cd、Ge与Ga的铅锌矿床，已成为我国Pb、Zn及Cd、Ge与Ga矿产资源的重要生产基地。对代表性铅锌矿床进行野外地质调查和系统采样鉴定后．应用电子探针微区分析手段，研究主要矿石矿物闪锌矿、方铅矿和黄铁矿中分散元素的富集特征。结果显示．各类矿床中闪锌矿均相对富集Cd，方铅矿富集Ge与Ga，而黄铁矿中Cd、Ge与Ga的富集系数均相对较低．未呈现出选择性富集的趋势；赋存于震旦纪一寒武纪地层且以脉状、网脉状产出的矿体中闪锌矿的Cd含量明显高于赋存于晚古生代并以层状产出的矿体中闪锌矿的Cd含量。

Struktura fizyczna gruntu, zawartość substancji organicznej oraz skład chemiczny gleb w podłożach 21 stanowisk zieleni miejskiej na terenie Poznania. Część IV. Zawartość mikroelementów: Cl, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B oraz Na, Pb i Cd. Wskaźnik zasolenia EC

This article presents the physical structure of the land, organic substances content and the chemical composition of soil comprising subsoil of 21 urban greenery locations in the city of Poznań. As they tend to be commonly underestimated, they have also been presented with view to their vital functions in plants’ life processes. The analysed microelements are referred to their levels, the so-called geo-chemical background of Polish soils and the limit values for field soils with medium levels of nutrients.

Thuricin CD: a potential therapeutic targeted against Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD)

Clostridium difficile is mainly a nosocomial pathogen and is a significant cause of antibioticassociated diarrhea. It is also implicated in the majority of cases of pseudomembranous colitis. The main etiological agent of C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) is perturbations to the gut microbiota by broad-spectrum antibiotics. Recently, thuricin CD, a two-peptide narrow spectrum sactibiotic bacteriocin with potent activity against C. difficile has been discovered. It is produced by Bacillus thuringiensis DPC6431. The efficacy of thuricin CD against a range of C. difficile clinical isolates has been determined in the form of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and compared to metronidazole, vancomycin, ramoplanin and actagardine in this thesis. Furthermore, by assessing paired combinations of the above-mentioned antimicrobials, it was determined that ramoplanin and actagardine function in a synergistic manner against the majority of C. difficile isolates. The functions of the genes in the thuricin CD gene cluster have also been elucidated by cloning the cluster and expressing thuricin CD in a heterologous Bacillus subtilis host and are described herein. In addition, the immunity mechanisms employed by the B. thuringiensis DPC6431 producer to protect itself from the antimicrobial actions of thuricin CD have also been elucidated. It has been shown that a small immunity peptide, TrnI, is involved in thuricin CD immunity, most likely by intercepting the thuricin CD peptides and/or blocking their access to the thuricin CD receptor. This immunity peptide and also the ABC-transporter system TrnFG serve to protect the B. thuringiensis host against thuricin CD.

Evidence of various mechanisms of Cd sequestration in the hyperaccumulator Arabidopsis halleri, the non accumulator Arabidopsis lyrata and their progenies by combined synchrotron-based techniques

Arabidopsis halleri is a model plant for Zn and Cd hyperaccumulation. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the chemical forms of Cd, its distribution in leaves, and Cd accumulation and tolerance. An interspecific cross was carried out between A. halleri and the non-tolerant and non-hyperaccumulating relative A. lyrata providing progenies segregating for Cd tolerance and accumulation. Cd speciation and distribution were investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and microfocused X-ray fluorescence. In A. lyrata and non-tolerant progenies, Cd was coordinated by S atoms only or with a small contribution of O groups. Interestingly, the proportion of O ligands increased in A. halleri and tolerant progenies, and they were predominant in most of them, while S ligands were still present. Therefore, the binding of Cd with O ligands was associated with Cd tolerance. In A. halleri, Cd was mainly located in the xylem, phloem, and mesophyll tissue, suggesting a reallocation process for Cd within the plant. The distribution of the metal at the cell level was further discussed. In A. lyrata, the vascular bundles were also Cd enriched, but the epidermis was richer in Cd as compared with the mesophyll. Cd was identified in trichomes of both species. This work demonstrated that both Cd speciation and localization were related to the tolerance character of the plant.
