A rapid, precise and accurate microtiter most-probable-number (MPN) procedure has been developed and tested for simultaneous (two reagent addition) enumeration of denitrifier and nitrate reducer populations in an agricultural soil. Values from 0.12 × 106 to 0.22 × 106 denitrifiers g?1 soil were determined using two concentrations of each terminal electron acceptor (3.5 and 7.2 mm NO2? or 3.5 and 9.9 mm NO3? in nutrient broth. Nitrate reducer populations ranged from 0.97 × 106 to 1.1 × 106 organisms g?1 soil when two concentrations of NO3? (3.5 and 9.9 mm) were employed. The denitrifiers thus constituted 12–20% of the nitrate reducer population. Neither method (tube or microtiter) or medium significantly altered the values obtained for these two groups of microorganisms.  相似文献

In this work, the influence of solute concentration of two types of electrolyte solutions single-ion (Na) and mixed-ion (Na–Ca) systems on hydraulic and some physical properties of a clay soil was investigated. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (HC) declined noticeably using lower solute concentration in single ion system. The highest reduction in HC was observed at 250 molec m?3 solute concentration. Application of high solute concentration of single-ion system reduced meanweight diameter (MWD) to less than half of the control treatment (0.16 mm compared with 0.33 mm). Resistance to penetrometer increased with decreasing solute concentration. In mixed-ion system the MWD was increased whereas the resistance to penetrometer was decreased. HC values ranged from 6.5?×?10?4 to 9.0?×?10?4 mm s?1 in mixed ion system compared with 7.2?×?10?4 to 13.0?×?10?4 mm s?1 in single-ion system. The improvement of some physical properties in mixed-ion solution treatment is attributed to the presence of calcium ion that usually acts as amendment to sodium-affected soil. Soil HC showed lower values at low solute concentrations.  相似文献

在实验室条件下,对黄松稻田土壤、紫色稻田土壤和红壤稻田土的反硝化细菌(DenitrifyingBacteria,DNB)种群数量及其反硝化活性,以及Cr2(SO4)36H2O处理4周后Cr3+污染对DNB种群数量及其反硝化活性影响进行了研究。结果表明,紫色稻田土壤、黄松稻田土壤和红壤稻田土的DNB种群数量每克干土分别为(59.04～157.59)104cfu、(42.89～108.97)104cfu和(32.14～75.30)104cfu。在每千克干土中加入200mgCr3+时,对稻田土的DNB种群数量及其活性有明显的抑制作用,但稻田土壤还能通过自身的能力,在培养3周后完全恢复稻田土壤的DNB种群数量及其活性。随着Cr3+加入量的增加,Cr3+对DNB的毒性越来越大,稻田土壤通过自身来恢复DNB种群数量及其活性越来越困难,但可通过外界力量(如调节土壤pH)逐渐恢复稻田土壤的生物活性。  相似文献

A model of weathering-rind growth is proposed based on the study of andesite cobbles sampled from a modern floodplain and four fluvial terraces (0, 20, 130, 290 and 660 ka) in central Japan. The times elapsed since each of the above ages can be assumed to be the weathering periods. The 0-ka rocks are not visibly weathered. The 20-ka rocks have an alteration layer with white or brown colours and a mean thickness of 0.7 mm on their surface. The 130-, 290- and 660-ka rocks have brown weathering rinds with average thicknesses of 3–6 mm. Based on the measurements of physical and mechanical properties throughout from the rock surface to the interior, weathering rinds are divided into two bands. The outer brown band is characterized by ferric hydroxides, which experienced both oxidization and leaching. The inner band is formed by leaching alone of alkalis/alkaline earths. The inner border of this band is located at the position where Vickers' hardness numbers start decreasing with decreasing depth. The thickness of each band was determined from its physical and mechanical properties. The results show that brown band thickness (LI) is a function of time. However, total thickness of the two bands, i.e. total weathering-rind thickness (LI+II), is also controlled by initial rock porosity (n). Their relationships are represented by diffusive equations: LI=(Dt)1/2=(0.0283t)1/2 and LI+II=(Dt)1/2={0.0431 exp(0.4287n)·t}1/2. These findings indicate that rind-characterization and original rock porosity should be taken into consideration when weathering-rind thickness is used as a dating tool.  相似文献

Microbial populations able to degrade 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate) and MCPA (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetate) were enumerated by means of a most probable number (MPN) procedure in eight Natal soils not previously treated with these herbicides. Estimated 2,4-D-degrading populations ranged from 1.26 to 245.2 and MCPA-degrading populations from 0.34 to 1377 g?1 dry soil; in seven of the soils the populations of these organisms were less than 40 and 30 g?1, respectively. Such counts indicate that for the successful isolation of 2,4-D- or MCPA-degrading microorganisms from soil, at least 1 g dry weight of soil should be used for enrichment cultures. The 2,4-D-degrading organisms occurred among the aerobic soil bacteria detectable by plate count, at frequencies of only 1 in 30 × 103 to 1 in 36 × 106 and the MCPA-degrading organisms at frequencies of 1 in 5 × 103 to 1 in 133 × 106; the ease with which the herbicide-degrading organisms can be isolated from enriched soil cultures treated with 2,4-D or MCPA is evidence of their massive preferential proliferation in response to the herbicides.Log 2,4-D- and MCPA-degrading populations did not differ significantly in four soil samples, but in the others either the 2,4-D- or the MCPA-degrading population was dominant. The longer persistence of MCPA compared with that of 2,4-D could therefore not be ascribed to quantitative differences in the populations of MCPA- and 2,4-D-degrading soil microorganisms.No relationship was evident between the soil populations of 2,4-D- or MCPA-degrading microorganisms and aerobic soil bacteria, and variations of the three populations among the soil samples were not associated in any obvious way with the soil physical and chemical characteristics, except perhaps an association of the highest counts of herbicide-degrading organisms with a sugar cane soil of sandy texture and high C: N ratio.  相似文献

The survival of Pseudomonas solanacearum biovars 2 and 3 in three soils, a Nambour clay loam, a Beerwah sandy loam and a Redland Bay clay, was compared at pressure potentials of ?0.003, ?0.05 and ?0.15 kPa. The soils were inoculated with mutants of P. solanacearum biovars 2 and 3, resistant to 2000 μg streptomycin sulphate ml?1 and their survival measured every 6 weeks for 86 weeks in the clay loam and clay and for 52 weeks in the sandy loam. Soil populations declined with the initial drying necessary to bring the soil moisture to the specific pressure potentials; the initial counts for biovar 2 varied between 0.20 and 2.00 × 109 cfu g?1 soil and for biovar 3 between 0.17 and 1.29 × 109 cfu g?1 soil.The population decline in soil maintained at a constant pressure potential was expressed as the rate of population decline. Biovar 2 declined more rapidly than biovar 3. The rate of population decline of each biovar at ?0.003 and ?0.05 kPa was greater in clay loam than in sandy loam and at all pressure potentials it was greater in clay loam and sandy loam than in clay. There was also a tendency for the rate of population decline of both biovars to decrease in the drier soil treatments.  相似文献

Soil characteristics regulate various belowground microbial processes including methanogenesis and, consequently, affect the structure and function of methanogenic archaeal communities due to change in soil type which in turn influences the CH4 production potential of soils. Thus, five different soil orders (Alfisol, Entisol, Inceptisol, Podzol and Vertisol) were studied to assess their CH4 production potential and also the methanogenic archaeal community structure in dryland irrigated Indian paddy soils. Soil incubation experiments revealed CH4 production to range from 178.4 to 431.2 μg CH4 g-1 dws in all soil orders as: Vertisol<Inceptisol<Entisol<Podzol<Alfisol. The numbers of methanogens as quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) targeting mcrA genes varied between 0.06 and 72.97 (×106 copies g-1 dws) and were the highest in Vertisol soil and the least in Alfisol soil. PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)-based approach targeting 16S rRNA genes revealed diverse methanogenic archaeal communities across all soils. A total of 43 DGGE bands sequenced showed the closely related groups to Methanomicrobiaceae, Methanobacteriaceae, Methanocellales, Methanosarcinaceae, Methanosaetaceae and Crenarchaeota. The composition of methanogenic groups differed among all soils and only the Methanocellales group was common and dominant in all types of soils. The highest diversity of methanogens was found in Inceptisol and Vertisol soils. Methane production potential varied significantly in different soil orders with a positive relationship (p?<?0.05) with methanogens population size, permanganate oxidizable C (POXC) and CO2 production. The present study suggested that CH4 production potential of different soils depends on physicochemical properties, methanogenic archaeal community composition and the population size.  相似文献

Rhizobium strains of the cowpea group did not lose viability readily when added to soil, but Bdellovibrio acting on these rhizobia were found in 32 of 90 soils examined. Bdellovibrio did not initiate replication in liquid media at low host densities, but it did multiply once the Rhizohium numbers increased through growth to about 108 ml?1. From about 104 to 6 × 105 ml?1Rhizohium cells survived attack by the parasites in liquid media. In nutrient-free buffer, no significant increase in vibrio abundance was evident if the rhizobial frequency was low. whereas Rhizobium populations containing 6 × 108 cells ml?1 were lysed rapidly. Bdellovibrio did not multiply when introduced into sterile soil with small numbers of the host, but it replicated when the rhizobia were abundant because of the latter's use of soil organic matter for growth or because of the deliberate addition of 108Rhizohium g?1. Nevertheless, the host persisted in such vibrio-rich soil samples. The abundance of indigenous bdellovibrios increased appreciably in nonsterile soil if the rhizobia were introduced in large but not small numbers. It is suggested that a major reason for the lack of elimination of the host population in soil by its parasites is the need for a critical host cell frequency, large Rhizobium numbers being required for Btiellovibrio to initiate replication and low numbers of surviving hosts no longer being able to support the parasite.  相似文献

RHIZOSPHERE MICROBIAL POPULATIONS IN CONTAMINATED SOILS   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Rhizosphere microbial populations may increase bioremediation of soil contaminated with organic chemicals. A growth chamber study was conducted to evaluate rhizosphere microbial populations in contaminated and non-contaminated soil. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and alpine bluegrass (Poa alpina L.) were grown in soil containing a mixture of organic chemicals for 14 weeks. The equal millimolar mixture of hexadecane, (2,2-dimethylpropyl)benzene, cis-decahydronaphthalene (decalin), benzoic acid, phenanthrene, and pyrene was added at levels of 0 and 2000 mg/kg. Organic chemical degrader (OCD) populations were assessed by a Most-Probable-Number technique, and bacteria and fungi were enumerated by plate count methods. Different methods for expressing OCD rhizosphere populations were investigated to determine the effect it had on interpretation of the results. At 9 weeks, the OCD numbers were significantly higher in rhizosphere and contaminated soils than in bulk and non-contaminated soils, respectively. Alfalfa rhizosphere OCD levels were 4 × 107/g for contaminated and 6 × 106/g for non-contaminated soils. Bluegrass rhizosphere OCD levels were 1 × 107/g and 1 × 106/g in contaminated and non-contaminated soils, respectively. Selective enrichment of OCD populations was observed in contaminated rhizosphere soil. Higher numbers of OCD in contaminated rhizospheres suggest potential stimulation of bioremediation around plant roots.  相似文献

Uptake and rapid translocation of 32P-orthophosphate to Pinus radiata mycorrhizas from soil by mycelial strands of Rhizopogon luteolus was demonstrated. In greenhouse material, translocation occurred from soil for at least 12 mm and some 30–80 per cent of phosphate absorbed from 5 × 10?6M as KH2PO4 was translocated. In the field, translocation occurred for 12 cm. Uptake by excised mycelial strands was metabolically mediated. Translocation occurred more rapidly when the untreated ends of strands were placed in an osmoticum: polarity in translocation was also observed. It was concluded that uptake and translocation by mycelial strands (as distinct from individual hyphae) provide an effective method for mycorrhizal exploitation of large inter-root soil volumes and assist the plants in competition for nutrients.Large differences occurred between strains of the same species in mycelial strand growth in soil. Mycelial strands of R. luteolus grew through the test soil at 1.3-2.9 mm/day and along P. radiata roots at 1.7 mm/day at 25°C day and 16°C night temperatures.  相似文献

No differences were observed in the survival of plasmid-bearingand plasmid-free Escherichia coli strains in the course of a long-term survival process in wastewater, under both illuminated and non-illuminated conditions. While the CFU counts and the number of active cells decreased, the numberof nucleoid-containing cells remained constant throughout the 30 days of experimentation. Visible light efficiently contributed to the reduction in culturability, and T90 values were very different under illuminated and nonilluminatedconditions. In the latter case the time necessary to reduce theculturability of a bacterial population by 90% was 27 days, while in the former it was only 1 day. Plasmid transfer was abundant, while the survival of donor and recipient cells was extensive. After 24 hr of survival in wastewater, transfer frequency values ranged from 5.92 × 10-5 to 1.12 × 10-2, depending on mating conditions. In the absence of illumination, the potential transfer abilitiesremained for survival periods of at least 20 days. Transfer assays between free and adhered cells were carried out by means of dialysis bags and submerged membrane diffusion chambers. Transfer frequency for adhered cells was greater than for free cells (2.80 × 10-2 as opposed to 2.39 × 10-3).  相似文献

Heavy metal extraction and processing from ores releases elements into the environment. Soil, being an "unfortunate" sink, has its bionomics impaired and affected by metal pollution. Metals sneak into the food chain and pose risk to humans and other edaphicdependent organisms. For decontamination, the use of an ecosystem-friendly approach involving plants is known as phytoremediation.In this study, different lead(Pb) concentrations(80, 40, 20, and 10 mg kg~(-1)) were used to contaminate a well-characterized soil,(un)supplemented with organic waste empty fruit bunch(EFB) or spent mushroom compost(SMC), with non-edible plant—Lantana camara. Lead removal by L. camara ranged from 45.51% to 88.03% for supplemented soil, and from 23.7% to 57.8% for unsupplemented soil(P 0.05). The EFB-supplemented and L. camara-remediated soil showed the highest counts of heavy metal-resistant bacteria(HMRB)(79.67 × 10~6–56.0 × 10~6 colony forming units(CFU) g~(-1) soil), followed by SMC-supplemented and L. camara-remediated soil(63.33 × 10~6–39.0 × 10~6 CFU g~(-1) soil). Aerial metal uptake ranged from 32.08 ± 0.8 to 5.03 ± 0.08 mg kg~(-1) dry weight, and the bioaccumulation factor ranged from 0.401 to 0.643(P 0.05). Half-lives(t_(1/2)) of Pb were 7.24–2.26 d in supplemented soil,18.39–11.83 d in unsupplemented soil, and 123.75–38.72 d in the soil without plants and organic waste. Freundlich isotherms showed that the intensity of metal absorption(n) ranged from 2.44 to 2.51 for supplemented soil, with regression coefficients of determination(R~2) between 0.901 2 and 0.984 0. The computed free-energy change(?G) for Pb absorption ranged from -5.01 to 0.49 kJ mol~(-1) K~(-1) for EFB-supplemented soil and -3.93 to 0.49 k J mol~(-1) K~(-1) for SMC-supplemented soil.  相似文献

The endogeic earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus (Glossoscolecidae) is a peregrine species commonly found in tropical lands cleared by man for cultivation. We compared the charcoal consumption and casting activity of a population of P. corethrurus from a cultivated area under repeated slash-and-burn (fallow population) with that of a population from a field cultivated after recent burning of a mature forest (forest population). Their cast production was measured in containers in the presence of pure charcoal, soil of fallow and forest origin, or a mixture of charcoal and soil. The forest population defecated less in pure charcoal than in forest soil, whereas the reverse was observed for the fallow population. When living in fallow soil, both populations defecated more at the surface of a mixture of charcoal and soil than at the surface of pure soil (×2 and ×3 with fallow and forest populations, respectively). In forest soil, both populations showed an increased charcoal consumption (×12). In the light of these experiments, we hypothesized that an adaptation of P. corethrurus to charcoal and fallow soil exists, supporting the observed distribution of this earthworm species in tropical open lands.  相似文献

Rotary tillage experiments were carried out under laboratory conditions in 3 types of Dutch soil. The moisture contents were set at 6 levels. Two tools were used; a knife blade and a tine. The energy required to work the soil was assessed with a pendulum.The specific energy requirement was expressed in units per volume of loosened soil, EV (kJ m?3) and also in units per surface area of loosened soil, EA (kJ m?2). In silty clay loam EV ranged between 153 and 160 kJ m?3 for the knife blade, and increased from 170 to 280 kJ m?3 for the tine, when the moisture content increased from 17 to 22%. EA increased from 2.5 to 9 kJ m?2 × 10?1 for the knife blade and from 3.8 to 10.5 kJ m?2 × 10?1 for the tine, when the moisture content increased from 17 to 22%.In sandy loam EV decreased from 110 to 75 kJ m?3 for the knife blade and from 165 to 130 kJ m?3 for the tine, when the moisture content increased from 9.5 to 17% EA increased from 1 to 2.5 kJ m?2 × 10?1 for the knife blade and increased from 2.7 to 2 kJ m?2 × 10?1 for the tine, when the moisture content increased from 9.5 to 17%.In silty loam EV decreased from 117 to 95 kJ m?3 for the knife blade and from 170 to 137 kJ m?3 for the tine, when the moisture content increased from 17 to 22%. EA increased from 3.7 to 5 kJ mm?2 × 10?1 for the knife blade, and from 3 to 5.5 kJ m?2 × 10?1 for the tine, when the moisture content increased from 17 to 22%.The energy requirement was related to penetration resistance, shearing resistance and modulus of elasticity. In silty clay loam the penetration resistance decreased from 3.9 to 2.6 MPa × 10?1, the shear resistance hardly changed and ranged between 0.8 and 0.9 MPa × 10?1, and the modulus of elasticity decreased from 46 to 23 MPa × 10?1, when the moisture content increased from 17 to 22%.In sandy loam the penetration resistance decreased from 5.5 to 1.9 MPa × 10?1, the shear resistance decreased from 0.6 to 0.4 MPa × 10?1 and the modulus of elasticity decreased from 84 to 15 MPa × 10?1, when the moisture content increased from 9.5 to 17%. In silty loam, the penetration resistance decreased from 3.6 to 1.7 MPa × 10?1, the shear resistance decreased from 0.6 to 0.4 MPa × 10?1 and the modulus of elasticity decreased from 58 to 11 MPa × 10?1 when the moisture content increased from 17.5 to 22%.  相似文献

Tetrahymena pyriformis cultures were maintained when transferred serially in solutions containing 105 to 107Klebsiella pneumoniae cells.ml?1, bacterial numbers that were observed to persist in the presence of protozoa. The number of cells of one strain of K. pneumoniae surviving predation in solution was essentially the same in the absence of an alternative prey as in the presence of a second K. pneumoniae strain. Toxins deleterious to protozoa did not appear as the animal consumed the bacteria. T. pyriformis reduced the abundance of Escherichia coli from about 108 to 106.ml?1. but the latter number persisted for 15 days; however, in solutions containing chloramphenicol, the abundance of E. coli fell to 590 cells. ml?1 in 15 days. In solutions containing the antibiotic, T. pyriformis reduced the Rhizobium sp. population from more than 106 to less than 103 cells in 10 days and K. pneumoniae from more than 108.ml?1 to zero in 18 days. An appreciable decline in abundance of these bacteria did not occur in the antibiotic-amended liquid free of protozoa. T. pyriformis did not greatly reduce Rhizobium sp. numbers when both were added to irradiated soil, but the predator caused the bacterial population to decline from 4 × 108 to fewer than 105.g?1 in 16 days in chloramphenicol-treated soil. Colpoda sp. inoculated with Rhizobium sp. into soil sterilized by autoclaving only reduced the prey abundance from 109 to 108.g?1, but the protozoan caused the bacterial population to fall to about 100.g?1 in 15 days in the presence of the antibiotic. The population of Rhizobium sp. added to nonsterile soil dropped from in excess of 108 to 6 × 106.g?1 in 29 days. but it declined to 550. g?1 in the same period when chloramphenicol was also introduced. It is concluded that the ability of these bacteria to maintain themselves in solution and in soil is governed by their capacity to reproduce and replace the cells consumed by predation.  相似文献

A chromated-copper-arsenate (CCA) wood preservative was tested for toxic effects on the growth of a bacterial culture (Flavobactenum sp. ATCC 53874) capable of biodegrading pentachlorophenol, another wood preservation chemical. Both a commercially available CCA preparation and a laboratory-prepared CCA solution were tested. Each had an inhibitory effect on the growth of Flavobacterium at diluted CCA levels as low as 1.0×10?4 to 1.0×10?5% wt vol?1. The commercial formulation was generally more toxic. EC50 values calculated after 96 hr of incubation were 1.2 ×10?4% wt vol?1 for the commercial material (containing 0.15/0.097/0.14 μg mL?1 of Cr/Cu/As, respectively) and 3.8×10?4% for the laboratory solution (containing 0.51/0.31/0.49 μg mL?1 of Cr/Cu/As, respectively). CCA toxicity increased during the first 7 to 8 days and then slowly decreased for the balance of the 21 day incubation period. Biodegradation of pentachlorophenol residues in contaminated soil will be negatively affected by the presence of CCA as a co-contaminant.  相似文献

A legume introduced into a new area will only form nodules and fix nitrogen if compatible rhizobia are present in the soil. Using 25 (60 in the case of Sesbania sesban) soils sampled from tropical areas of Africa, Asia and Latin America, we examined the nodulation of four agroforestry tree species (Calliandra calothyrsus, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala and S. sesban), their symbiotic interactions with the native rhizobial populations, and some of the ecological indicators of rhizobial population dynamics. Rhizobial population sizes estimated by the legume species ranged from undetectable numbers to 3.16×104 cells per g of soil depending on the trap host species. Although C. calothyrsus had the highest nodulation rate in the soils used, inoculation tests showed L. leucocephala to be the most promiscuous species while G. sepium had the most effective symbiosis. S. sesban was the most specific for both nodulation and symbiotic effectiveness. Symbiotic effectiveness did not bear any close relationship with specific soil parameters, but rhizobial numbers were highly correlated with soil acidity, particle size and exchangeable bases. Soil acidity was also the main factor that was highly correlated with genetic diversity among the rhizobial populations.  相似文献

Success in introducing Rhizobium japonicum strains into soil is related to their interaction with native microorganisms including some that are antagonistic. Actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and rhizobiophages antagonistic towards strains of R. japonicum were counted directly using soil samples from field plots under different crop and soil management systems. The antagonistic actinomycete population varied from 1.3 × 103 to 4.5 × 105 g?1 dry soil and ranged up to 90% of total actinomycetes. Soybean rhizosphere soil samples included antagonistic actinomycetes ranging up to 70% of total actinomycetes. The antagonistic bacterial population was less than 10% of total bacteria and the proportion did not vary significantly with crop or soil management practices. Antagonistic fungi were observed for many of the soils examined but they could not be counted. There were few rhizobiophages and they were found most frequently in soybean rhizospheres. Occasional bacterial and actinomycete colonies that stimulated growth of R. japonicum were randomly observed among the soil samples tested.  相似文献

Abstract

Changes in pH values during 12 weeks incubation in soils treated with acidified sawdust (ACD‐SD)‐treated soils ranged from 5.03 to 5.89, from 9.88 to 10.35 in soil treated with alkalized sawdust (ALK‐SD), and ranged from pH 6.88 to 7.35 in untreated sawdust‐amended soil. In unamended soil, pH values were 6.80 to 7.35. Bacterial populations over the 12 weeks in ACD‐SD‐treated soils increased from 5×106 to 167×106 colonies while bacterial populations in ALK‐SD‐treated soils increased from 2×106 to 54×106. Fungal populations increased from 6×104 to 11,333×104 colonies per gram soil in ACD‐SD treated soils over the 12 week incubation. Untreated sawdust and control soil did not result in any significant changes in the fungal populations.  相似文献
