The purification and characterization of a novel extracellular beta-glucosidase from Paecilomyces thermophila J18 was studied. The beta-glucosidase was purified to 105-fold apparent homogeneity with a recovery yield of 21.7% by DEAE 52 and Sephacryl S-200 chromatographies. Its molecular masses were 116 and 197 kDa when detected by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration, respectively. It was a homodimeric glycoprotein with a carbohydrate content of 82.3%. The purified enzyme exhibited an optimal activity at 75 degrees C and pH 6.2. It was stable up to 65 degrees C and in the pH range of 5.0-8.5. The enzyme exhibited a broad substrate specificity and significantly hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl-beta- d-glucopyranoside ( pNPG), cellobiose, gentiobiose, sophorose, amygdalin, salicin, daidzin, and genistin. Moreover, it displayed substantial activity on beta-glucans such as laminarin and lichenan, indicating that the enzyme has some exoglucanase activity. The rate of glucose released by the purified enzyme from cellooligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization (DP) ranging between 2 and 5 decreased with increasing chain length. Glucose and glucono-delta-lactone inhibited the beta-glucosidase competitively with Ki values of 73 and 0.49 mM, respectively. The beta-glucosidase hydrolyzed pNPG, cellobiose, gentiobiose, sophorose, salicin, and amygdalin, exhibiting apparent Km values of 0.26, 0.65, 0.77, 1.06, 1.39, and 1.45 mM, respectively. Besides, the enzyme showed transglycosylation activity, producing oligosaccharides with higher DP than the substrates when cellooligosaccharides were hydrolyzed. These properties make this beta-glucosidase useful for various biotechnological applications.  相似文献

The hyphomycete Chalara paradoxa CH32 produced an extracellular beta-glucosidase during the trophophase. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. The purified enzyme had an estimated molecular mass of 170 kDa by size-exclusion chromatography and 167 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme had maximum activity at pH 4.0-5.0 and 45 degrees C. The enzyme was inactivated at 60 degrees C. At room temperature, it was unstable at acidic pH, but it was stable to alkaline pH. The purified enzyme was inhibited markedly by Hg(2+) and Ag(2+) and also to some extent by the detergents SDS, Tween 80, and Triton X-100 at 0.1%. Enzyme activity increased by 3-fold in the presence of 20% ethanol and to a lesser extent by other organic solvents. Purified beta-glucosidase was active against cellobiose and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside but did not hydrolyze lactose, maltose, sucrose, cellulosic substrates, or galactopyranoside, mannopyranoside, or xyloside derivatives of p-nitrophenol. The V(max) of the enzyme for p-NPG (K(m) = 0.52 mM) and cellobiose (K(m) = 0.58 mM) were 294 and 288.7 units/mg, respectively. Hydrolysis of pNPG was inhibited competitively by glucose (K(i) = 11.02 mM). Release of reducing sugars from carboxymethylcellulose by a purified endoglucanase produced by the same organism increased markedly in the presence of beta-glucosidase.  相似文献

Neuraminidase is a rational target for influenza inhibition, and the search for neuraminidase inhibitors has been intensified. Mimosine, a nonprotein amino acid, was for the first time identified as a neuraminidase inhibitor with an IC(50) of 9.8 ± 0.2 μM. It was found that mimosine had slow, time-dependent competitive inhibition against the neuraminidase. Furthermore, a small library of mimosine tetrapeptides (M-A(1)-A(2)-A(3)) was synthesized by solid-phase synthesis and was assayed to evaluate their neuraminidase and tyrosinase inhibitory properties. Most of the tetrapeptides showed better activities than mimosine. Mimosine-FFY was the best compound, and it exhibited 50% neuraminidase inhibition at a low micromolar range of 1.8 ± 0.2 μM, whereas for tyrosinase inhibition, it had an IC(50) of 18.3 ± 0.5 μM. The kinetic studies showed that all of the synthesized peptides inhibited neuraminidase noncompetitively with K(i) values ranging from 1.9 -to 7.2 μM. These results suggest that mimosine could be used as a source of bioactive compounds and may have possibilities in the design of drugs as neuraminidase and tyrosinase inhibitors.  相似文献

There is natural intoxication of livestock by the ingestion of Ipomoea carnea (Convolvulaceae) in Brazil and other parts of the world. The alkaloidal glycosidase inhibitors swainsonine, 2-epi-lentiginosine, and calystegines B(1), B(2), B(3), and C(1) have been identified as constituents of this plant. Swainsonine is a potent inhibitor of rat lysosomal alpha-mannosidase, with an IC(50) value of 0.02 microM, whereas calystegines B(1), B(2), and C(1) are potent inhibitors of rat lysosomal beta-glucosidase, with IC(50) values of 2.1, 0.75, and 0.84 microM, respectively. The action of swainsonine results in a lysosomal storage disorder that closely mimics alpha-mannosidosis in humans. To determine whether the toxicity of I. carnea to livestock is due to purely swainsonine or due to a combination of effects by swainsonine and calystegines, intracellular lysosomal glycosidase activities in normal human lymphoblasts grown with inhibitors in the medium were examined. Incubation of lymphoblasts with 0.1 microM swainsonine for 3 days resulted in approximately 60% reduction of alpha-mannosidase activity. On the other hand, calystegines B(2) and C(1) showed no inhibition of beta-glucosidase up to 1 mM; instead inclusion of calystegines B(2) and C(1) at 100 microM in the culture medium increased its activity by 1.5- and 1.6-fold, respectively. Calystegines B(2) and C(1) seem to act as chemical chaperones, enhancing correct folding of the enzyme and enabling smooth trafficking to the lysosome. The lysosomal beta-glucosidase inhibitory calystegines seem to have little risk of inducing intoxication of livestock.  相似文献

Cranberry pomace contains large amounts of phenolic glycosides, which are important sources of free phenolics that have many food uses such as antioxidants, flavorings, and nutraceuticals. Our hypothesis was that these glycosides in cranberry pomace could be hydrolyzed by beta-glucosidase produced by Lentinus edodes during solid-state fermentation. On the basis of this hypothesis, our objective was to investigate the potential of using cranberry pomace as a substrate for the production of free phenolics and beta-glucosidase through solid-state fermentation by a food-grade fungus L. edodes. Our results suggested that L. edodes beta-glucosidase played a major role in release of phenolic aglycons from cranberry pomace during solid-state fermentation. After 50 days of cultivation, the yield of total free phenolics reached the maximum of 0.5 mg per g of pomace, while the beta-glucosidase activity was about 9 units per g of pomace. The enzyme exhibited optimal activity at 60 degrees C and at pH 3.5 and was stable at temperatures up to 50 degrees C and between pH 3 and 6.5. The major free phenolics produced from cranberry pomace were identified by HPLC as gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and p-coumaric acid. These results suggest that cranberry pomace is a potential substrate for producing food-grade phenolics and fungal beta-glucosidase. The L. edodes beta-glucosidase showed good stability and tolerance to low pH and, therefore has potential applications in wine and juice processing for aroma and flavor enrichment through enzymatic hydrolysis of glucoside precursors.  相似文献

镉（Cd）对膜透性、跨膜电势差等膜性质所产生的直接影响是造成Cd胁迫下植物对营养元素吸收异常的重要原因。以对Cd2＋敏感性不同的两个水稻品种（淮稻11号和扬稻6号）作为试验材料,采用玻璃微电极技术原位考察了水稻幼苗根细胞膜电位对Cd2＋胁迫的响应,同时分析了Cd2＋对水稻根系细胞膜透性的影响。结果表明,Cd2＋可使根表皮细胞膜电位在短时间内发生明显的去极化,去极化程度随Cd2＋浓度提高而增加;相同浓度Cd2＋所诱导的膜电位去极化程度与水稻品种有关,扬稻6号幼苗根系膜电位的去极化程度明显高于淮稻11号;在迅速的去极化之后,随后的30 min内是否发生复极化与水稻品种和Cd2＋浓度有关;就更长时间（0-12 h）来看,膜电位在经过了去极化阶段后仍有缓慢的恢复,淮稻11号在1.0 mmo1·L-1 Cd2＋处理6 h后已接近初始的膜电位值,而扬稻6号在处理12 h后仍不能恢复到处理前的水平;Cd2＋处理增大了水稻根细胞膜透性,且扬稻6号比淮稻11号膜透性增加的程度要大。  相似文献

A preliminary survey demonstrated activity for alpha-D-glucosidase, alpha-D-mannosidase, alpha-L-arabinosidase, beta-D-glucosidase, beta-D-xylosidase, and beta-D-galactosidase in orange fruit flavedo and albedo tissue. alpha-L-Rhamnosidase was not detected. Subsequently, a beta-glucosidase was purified from mature fruit rag tissue (composed of intersegmental septa, squeezed juice sacs, and fruit core tissue) of Citrus sinensis var. Valencia. The beta-glucosidase exhibited low levels of activity against p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-fucopyranoside (13.5%) and p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (7.0%), compared to its activity against p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG, 100%). The enzyme was purified by a combination of ion exchange (anion and cation) and gel filtration (Superdex and Toyopearl HW-55S) chromatography. It has an apparent molecular mass of 64 kDa by denaturing electrophoresis or 55 kDa by gel filtration chromatography (BioGel P-100). Hydrolysis of pNPG demonstrated a pH optimum between 4.5 and 5.5. At pH 5.0 the temperature optimum was 40 degrees C. At pH 5.0 and 40 degrees C the K(m) for pNPG was 0.1146 mM and it had a V(max) of 5.2792 nkatal x mg(-1) protein (katal = 0.06 International Units = the amount of enzyme that produces, under standard conditions, one micromol of product per min). Of the substrates tested, the enzyme was most active against the disaccharide cellobiose (1-->4), but was not active against p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobioside. High levels of activity also were observed with the disaccharides laminaribiose (1-->3), gentiobiose (1-->6), and sophorose (1-->2). Activity greater than that observed with pNPG was obtained with the flavonoids hesperetin-7-glucoside and prunin (naringenin-7-glucoside), salicin, mandelonitrile-beta-D-glucoside (a cyanogenic substrate), and sinigrin (a glucosinolate). The enzyme was not active against amygdalin, coniferin, or limonin glucoside.  相似文献

以淮稻6号为试验材料,采用水培的方法,研究了不同硫（S）浓度下（9、720mg·L-1）硒（Se）（5mg·L-1）和镉（Cd）（1、10mg·L-1）交互胁迫对水稻幼苗一些生理特性的影响,主要研究指标包括生物量、巯基物质含量和硒、镉含量。结果表明：（1）Cd对水稻幼苗各部分生长状况抑制能力大小不同,其对根长的抑制作用明显大于对茎长的抑制;（2）在无Se条件下,随着Cd浓度的增加,Cd对水稻幼苗生长的毒性不断增大,在加入一定浓度的Se后,Cd的毒性作用得到缓解;（3）在不同浓度S处理和Se、Cd交互胁迫下,随着S浓度增大,Cd对水稻幼苗毒性作用减轻;但高浓度的S处理反而对Cd与Se交互实验中Cd的毒性产生协同作用;（4）高浓度的S处理可以抑制水稻幼苗对Se的吸收;（5）巯基物质含量随着胁迫时间的增加呈先上升后下降的趋势。在Se、Cd交互实验中,低浓度S处理可以提高水稻幼苗中GSH和PCs的含量,从而促进植株体内重金属和PC的络合作用,缓减Cd对水稻幼苗的毒害。  相似文献

外源水杨酸对黑麦草幼苗盐胁迫的缓解效应研究   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
系统分析了黑麦草幼苗在0.2、0.4、0.6和0.8 mmol L-1水杨酸分别与150 mmol L-1 Na Cl盐胁迫复合作用下的生长指标与生理生化指标特征,探究了外源水杨酸对黑麦草幼苗盐胁迫的缓解效应。结果表明:施加不同浓度的外源水杨酸均能够显著缓解盐分对黑麦草幼苗的胁迫效应,盐胁迫下施加外源水杨酸,可使得黑麦草幼苗株高,地上、地下部分鲜重和干重均相对增加;加强了植物体内抗氧化酶系统,表现为超氧化物岐化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性显著提高;减弱了细胞膜脂过氧化作用并降低了质膜破坏程度,表现为细胞质膜透性和丙二醛含量均显著降低。0.6 mmol L-1是所设置的浓度梯度中最佳的水杨酸施用浓度;与单独150 mmol L-1 Na Cl盐胁迫相比,黑麦草幼苗株高增加43.38%,地上部分鲜、干重分别增加37.92%和31.36%,地下部分鲜、干重分别增加25.46%和15.32%;胁迫处理第3天,SOD活性增加17.20%,第9天,丙二醛(MDA)含量降低27.60%。  相似文献

【目的】氮肥利用率低是制约果树产业可持续发展的重要因素之一。过量施用氮肥以及不当的农业措施造成当前多数苹果果园发生不同程度的土壤酸化,而钼在酸性土壤中有效含量的降低会影响氮素吸收利用效率。本试验旨在探索能提高氮肥吸收利用效率的适宜钼用量,了解钼对苹果砧木平邑甜茶(Malus hupehensis Rehd.)幼苗硝态氮吸收、转化和分配利用特性的影响,为苹果生产中钼肥与氮肥的合理施用提供科学数据。【方法】以平邑甜茶幼苗为试验材料,采用全硝态氮霍格兰营养液进行培养。试验设置5个供钼水平:营养液不含钼(CK);营养液含0.25μmol/L钼酸(M1);营养液含0.5μmol/L钼酸(M2);营养液含1.5μmol/L钼酸(M3);叶片喷0.04%钼酸,营养液不含钼(M4)。运用15N同位素示踪技术,研究不同供钼水平对幼苗15N吸收量、全氮量、分配率和利用率的影响,同时测定钼对不同时期幼苗叶片和根系硝酸还原酶活性的影响。【结果】供钼处理幼苗的根系活力不同程度地高于不施钼处理(对照),其中营养液含0.5μmol/L钼酸的处理(M2)效果最佳。培养8 d内M2处理的平邑甜茶幼苗的根系硝酸还原酶活性一直高于其他处理,且与对照差异显著;培养4 d时各种处理的叶片硝酸还原酶活性上升至最高值,随后下降,8 d后又出现上升和下降的趋势,但上升幅度明显小于培养4 d。M1、M2、M3和M4处理的植株总干重分别比CK提高3.88%、21.12%、12.38%和19.90%。与对照相比,0.5μmol/L钼酸处理幼苗的15N吸收量增加的比例最大,全氮量表现出相同的趋势。供钼处理的氮肥利用率均明显高于对照,其中以0.5μmol/L钼酸处理的效果最显著,利用率为13.97%,比对照高48.92%。施钼处理对幼苗的15N分配率有一定的影响,0.5μmol/L钼酸处理(M2)和叶片喷施0.04%钼酸处理(M4)的茎和叶片的15N分配率明显高于对照,对照根系中15N分配率最高。0.5μmol/L钼酸处理叶片、茎和根的Ndff均达到最高,分别为对照同一部位的1.59倍、1.56倍和1.33倍。以上结果表明适量供钼可促进幼苗对肥料15N的吸收征调利用。【结论】供钼可以提高苹果砧木平邑甜茶幼苗的生物量、根系活力、15N吸收量、全氮量和15N利用率,其中经过0.5μmol/L钼酸处理(M2),其对平邑甜茶幼苗生长及硝态氮吸收、转化和分配利用的影响最显著。  相似文献

Bifidobacteria strains from human origin were screened for the specific activity (beta-glucosidase activity) involved in the metabolism of dietary flavonoids. Five strains with high beta-glucosidase activity were selected for further metabolism analyses (high-performance liquid chromatography separations) of flavonoid glycosides occurring in Phaseolus vulgaris L. (common bean) seeds and seedlings. All selected strains were found to be active in the conversion of kaempferol 3-O-glucoside, daidzin, genistin, and glycitin into their aglyconic forms. No metabolites were detected after the fermentation tests with the diglucosidic compound kaempferol 3-O-xylosylglucoside. In addition, to verify the effective bioavailability of flavonoid aglycones, the degradation rates of daidzein, genistein, glycitein, and kaempferol, following incubation with selected strains, were monitored. The results showed that the five selected strains of bifidobacteria, being active in the biotranformation of flavonoid glycosides occurring in common bean seeds and seedlings, could be considered as probiotic dietary adjuncts to improve the nutritional and health properties of flavonoid-based products, comprising hypothetical common bean food derivatives.  相似文献

In the present paper, a fully latent polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from desert truffle (Terfezia claveryi Chatin) ascocarps is described for the first time. The enzyme was partially purified by using phase partitioning in Triton X-114 (TX-114). The achieved purification was 2-fold from a crude extract, with a 66% recovery of activity. The interfering lipids were reduced to 13% of the original content. In addition, the purification gave rise to a reduction of phenolic compounds to only 37.5%, thus avoiding the postpurification tanning of the enzyme. Latent PPO was activated by the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or by incubation with trypsin. The amount of SDS necessary to obtain a maximum activation was dependent on the nature of the substrate. The use of SDS also permitted the histochemical localization of the latent enzyme within the ascocarp. Terfezia polyphenol oxidase was kinetically characterized using two phenolic substrates (L-DOPA and tert-butylcatechol). The latter substrate presented inhibition at high substrate concentration with a K(si) of 6.3 mM. Different inhibiting agents (kojic and cinnamic acid, mimosine and tropolone) were also studied, tropolone being the most effective.  相似文献

Six hundred ten yeast colonies isolated from various vineyards in Chile were screened for the presence of a beta-glucosidase activity as well as the resistance to glucose and ethanol inhibition. Among them, Debaryomyces vanrijiae was found to produce high levels of an extracelular beta-glucosidase which was tolerant to glucose (K(i) = 439 mM) and ethanol inhibitions. The enzyme (designated DV-BG) was purified to apparent homogeneity, respectively, by gel filtration, ion-exchange, and chromatofocusing techniques. Its molecular weight was 100 000, and its pI 3.0, optimum pH, and temperature activities were 5.0 and 40 degrees C, respectively, and had a V(max) of 47.6 micromol min(-)(1) mg(-)(1) and a K(m) of 1.07 mM. The enzyme was active against different beta-d-glucosides including glucosidic flavor precursors. The disaccharidic flavor precursors were not substrates for the enzyme. When added to a Muscat grape juice, the concentration of several monoterpenes increased as the consequence of its hydrolytic activity.  相似文献

铁皮石斛作为传统的中药材一直被广泛应用。由于铁皮石斛的种子直接萌发非常困难,无菌播种就成为铁皮石斛种苗繁育的主要方法,但不能完全保持母本优良特性。本研究以铁皮石斛茎段无菌腋芽诱导出的类原球茎体（PLBs）为外植体,建立了其液体快速培养技术体系。该体系利用MS＋BA 2 mg/L＋NAA0.1 mg/L培养基,液体振荡培养初期,增殖量为10%-15%（鲜重比）,2个月后增殖量为30%-50%。PLBs最初乳白色,后转变为半透明浅绿色,多数成团,少量为单个;3-4个月,部分PLBs顶部变尖,开始萌发。转接到MS＋BA 0.2 mg/L＋NAA 0.05 mg/L固体培养基上PLBs转为不透明的绿色,并萌发出芽,再转接到MS＋NAA 0.1 mg/L＋香蕉100 g/L固体培养基上壮苗生根,形成健壮的完整植株。该结果可为多种兰花种苗的快速繁育提供直观的参考。  相似文献

Cells of two indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties, one aluminum-tolerant (IAC3), and the other aluminum-sensitive (IR45), were grown in suspension culture in a medium with or without Al (0-800 µM), Si (0-2,000 µM), or Al and Si in combination as well as in R2 medium as control. The influence of Al or Si on cell growth was evaluated based on the growth of the cells in the treatment medium as well as in the R2 medium and compared with the effect on rice seedlings. Similar responses were observed for the cells and the seedlings; Al treatment resulted in a significant reduction of cell growth in both varieties, and the growth was reduced with the increase of the Al uptake by the cells. IAC3 was more tolerant to Al and it absorbed more Al than IR45. On the contrary, Si alone had almost no effect or exerted a negligible effect on the cell growth in both varieties and Si was hardly absorbed by the cells. There was a slight alleviative effect of Si on Al toxicity in the suspension cells of IR45, whereas, a considerable ameliorative effect in the seedlings. The content of total Al and of AI insoluble in citric acid in the cells were higher in the sole Al (800 µM) treatment than in the Al-Si combination treatment. This tendency was also observed in aluminon staining. The differences in the alleviative effects of Si and the uptake of Al and Si between the suspension cells and seedlings may have resulted from the presence of roots and morphological differences in the apoplastic tissues.  相似文献

The chemical basis for wheat seedling allelopathy on the growth of annual ryegrass was investigated by the identification and quantification of multiple allelochemicals from wheat seedlings. Results indicated that 58 wheat accessions differed significantly in seedling allelopathy and inhibited the root growth of ryegrass from 10 to 91%, depending on accession. Analysis of allelochemicals by GC/MS/MS indicated that allelopathy was significantly correlated with the levels of measured allelochemicals in the shoots and roots of young wheat seedlings. Ryegrass root growth was also negatively correlated with the levels of p-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic, and trans-ferulic acids in root exudates. Wheat allelopathic potential was negatively correlated with the levels of the eight known allelochemicals quantified in the shoots, roots, and water-agar medium, with multiple regression coefficients (r) of -0.61, -0.71, and -0.71, respectively. In comparison with weakly allelopathic accessions, strongly allelopathic accessions produced significantly higher amounts of allelochemicals in the shoots and roots of the wheat seedlings and also exuded larger quantities of allelochemicals into the growth medium. Wheat accessions with strong seedling allelopathy might be useful for management of weeds during the establishment stage, thereby reducing the need for commercial herbicides in early-season application.  相似文献

The accumulation of germanium (Ge) by barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. ‘Arivat') grown at various Ge and pH levels was investigated because Ge is an industrially important metal and bioaccumulation of Ge is a potentially useful means of concentrating this trace metal. Six‐day‐old barley seedlings were grown in perlite and nutrient solution adjusted to a pH of 4.5, 6.0, or 7.5 supplemented with 20, 40,60, or 80 μM Ge for seven days. The plants were divided into roots and shoots after harvesting; the dry weight and Ge content of the individual organs were measured, as was the peroxidase activity in the distal 1 cm of the primary leaves. Barley seedlings accumulated Ge in the roots and shoots; the shoots accumulated Ge linearly as medium Ge concentration increased. The dry weight of the organs was not affected, although necrosis was observed in the primary leaves of the seedlings treated with Ge concentrations greater than 20μM. Peroxidase activity in the primary leaves also increased as the Ge levels in the medium increased which indicated that elevated levels of Ge stimulated leaf senescence. These results demonstrate that barley plants can take up Ge and suggest that Ge is not toxic at the levels that might occur in areas where Ge is normally mined.  相似文献

Abstract. A field experiment was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of a combined treatment, involving addition of Aspergillus niger -treated sugar beet (SB) residue in the presence of rock phosphate and mycorrhizal inoculation of seedlings with Pisolithus tinctorius . The aim was to improve the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of a degraded semiarid Mediterranean soil. Short-term effects of such improvements on the establishment of Cistus albidus L. seedlings were evaluated. Eight months after planting, macronutrients (NPK), total carbohydrates, water-soluble C, water-soluble carbohydrates, microbial biomass C and enzyme activities (dehydrogenase, urease, protease, acid phosphatase and β-glucosidase) measured in the rhizosphere soil of C. albidus were increased greatly by addition of fermented SB residue. Soil structural stability improved only with the fermented SB addition (about 79% higher in the amended soils than in the non-amended soils). The mycorrhizal inoculation was the most effective treatment in improving the growth of C. albidus plants, but only slightly improved soil quality. Growth of inoculated plants was about 33% greater than plants grown in the amended soil and about 131% greater than control plants. The combined benefit of mycorrhizal inoculation of seedlings and addition of fermented SB residue to soil on plant growth was similar to that of the treatments applied individually.  相似文献

In order to determine the effect of acid precipitation on the movement of Cd and Zn in metal-contaminated systems, Cd- and Zn-amended soil systems, with and without eastern white pine seedlings, were treated with solution at pH levels of 2, 3, 4, and 5.3 for a 10-week period. While the soil parameters measured were not significantly altered by the higher pH treatments, treatment at pH 2 decreased soil pH, base saturation, and leachate pH, and increased leachate metal content. The presence of the seedlings moderated the effects of the pH 2 treatment by a probable combination of root cation exchange capacity and plant uptake. Seedlings receiving the higher pH treatments exhibited the expected metal distribution pattern (roots ? stems = leaves), while the pH 2 seedlings exhibited a different pattern (roots = stems = leaves). Cadmium and Zn levels in the stems and needles of the pH 2 plants were significantly higher than levels in those of the higher pH seedlings, while levels in the roots treated with pH 2 solution were significantly lower. This unusual distribution pattern may be the result of root injury due to the highly acidic solution. Although metal distribution was clearly affected by the acid treatments, increased toxicity symptoms were not observed in seedlings subjected to soil applications of acidified solutions.  相似文献
