We investigated the relationships between the composition and structure of macroinvertebrate communities and some environmental variables over a year in four basins of the Etueffont landfill leachate (Belfort, France) using co-inertia analysis. Culicidae larvae were the dominant macroinvertebrate group in the studied basins, contributing to 87% of the total zoobenthos density, followed by Corixidae (8.8%), Chironomids (2.5%) and other larvae (each <1%). The lowest density of chironomid larvae was recorded in the first basin which is used as a discharge system for the leachate produced by the landfill. In basin 4, however, the Baetidae, Orthocladiinae (Orthocladius spp., Chaetocladius spp. and Isocladius spp.) and Tanypodinae (Psectrotanypus spp.) developed favoured by low levels in ammonia, COD, BOD, EC, metals and high oxygen concentrations. The co-inertia analysis illustrated both temporal and spatial variabilities in the basins and revealed a strong relationship between environmental conditions and benthic macroinvertebrates assemblages. This ordination technique showed that the chironomid community structure might be used successfully to differentiate between sites with different levels and types of pollution. 相似文献

Bluetongue viruses (BTVs) could invade N-W Europe similar to BTV serotype 8 (BTV8/net06), since the source and route of introduction of this virus has not been solved. Therefore, the Dutch survey for Bluetongue by PCR testing was extended by further analysis of PCR positives to identify the involved BTV. In late August 2008, BTV was reported with 12 nucleotide differences in the S10 amplicon (S10 genotyping). This virus was identified as serotype 6, here named BTV6/net08. Promptly, serotype specific real-time PCR tests were developed for serotypes 1, 6, and 8 (S2 genotyping). Agreement was found between results by S10- and S2 genotyping. Further, BTV1 was identified by both S10- and S2 genotyping in one imported animal. After initial discovery of BTV6 in the Netherlands, animals from 18 holdings tested PCR positive for BTV6/net08 in 2008. Remarkably only one or two PCR positive animals per holding were found. Serum neutralization tests did not result in the discovery of more BTV6 infected animals. Retrospective studies indicated no evidence for infections by BTV6/net08 prior to the first discovery. Experimental infections with BTV6/net08 did not cause clinical disease in sheep, calves and cattle, except for a very short fever in some animals. This clearly showed that the vaccine-related BTV6/net08 is not virulent. BTV6/net08 was not found by passive and active surveys in the years after its discovery. Apparently, BTV6/net08 was not efficiently transmitted by endemic species of Culicoides in N-W Europe, and disappeared without the need of any control measure. 相似文献

Background, Aim and Scope In urban areas, soils are often dramatically altered by anthropogenic activity and these modifications distinguish these soils
(Anthrosols, Technosols) from those in natural systems. In urban environments, they receive considerable pollution from industry,
traffic and refuse. Since contaminated soil particles can be easily inhaled or ingested, there is a potential transfer of
toxic pollutants to humans. Risk assessment is essentially based on the determination of the total or mobile contents of pollutants
in soils using chemical extractions. This approach could be improved by taking into consideration the bioavailable fractions
of these toxic elements as measured by biotests. The coarse soil fraction usually neglected in analyses can nevertheless have
an effect on the concentration of metals in the soil solution. This coarse fraction is made up of the natural materials and
of technic materials constituting anthropogenic soils (plastic, paper, fabric, wood, bones, metallic elements and building
materials). These materials have variable capacities to release or adsorb trace elements. Samples representative of different
technic fraction components of Marrakech urban soils permit one to quantify their contribution to the enrichment of the soluble
metal concentrations. Works are carried out to achieve partial extractions of metals from the three fractions (less than 2
mm, coarse natural and coarse technic) of selected urban soils in order to determine their contribution to the metal contamination
of soils.
Materials and Methods Selected soils were collected from 9 sites according to a gradient of increasing anthropogenic influence from suburban to
urban zones. Soils were air-dried, homogenized, and sieved (2 mm). The coarse fraction was sorted to separate the different
technic materials and natural materials. Water extractions were run, on the natural, coarse fraction, on the complete technic
fraction of the 9 soils and on average samples made of technic materials sorted out of 58 topsoils sampled from different
sites in the city of Marrakech.
Results Results show that the percentage of the technic fraction increases while approaching the historic city center. It represented
about 14% in the most anthropogenically disturbed soils. Along this gradient, soils changed progressively from Anthrosols
to Technosols according to the WRB classification of urban and industrial soils. Analyses of metal contents showed that the
fine fraction (<2 mm) mainly contributed to the metallic contamination of the water soluble fraction. The natural coarse fraction
had the highest contribution to the copper release and was responsible for the release of all water-extractable copper in
some soils. Concerning the technic fraction, it has a significant contribution essentially in the most anthropogenically disturbed
soils as characterized by an elevated percentage of anthropogenic elements. The water extractable metal contents of average
samples of these anthropogenic elements shows that elevated metal concentrations were released by bones, wood, plastic and
fabric/paper.
Discussion This study concerns soils in urban areas, which are strongly impacted by human activities. Part of the soils can be classified
as Anthrosols, profoundly impacted through the addition of organic materials from household wastes, irrigation, or cultivation.
Other soils strongly impacted by human activities are Technosols dominated or strongly influenced by man-made materials. Technosols
appear mostly in urban and industrial areas and are more likely to be contaminated than Anthrosols. The composition and heterogeneity
of urban soils lead to modifications of the mobility and availability of pollutants depending on successive land-uses and
on the composition of technic materials. The fine fraction offers a high transferring surface capacity, leading to a high
mobilization of metals. The technic fraction contributes significantly to the metal release in the Technosols. This property
can be explained by a reversible adsorption of metals on the organic matter.
Conclusions Results confirm that anthropogenic activity causes a wide spatial diversity of soil quality in the urban and suburban area.
It introduces large amounts of technic materials in soils that could have an impact on the metal availability. It therefore
acts on the metal bioavailability in the urban Technosols.
Recommendations and Perspectives These results show that it is necessary, in addition to the characterization of the fine particles, to take into account the
contribution of the coarse fraction of the Technosols in the evaluation of risks of transfer of metals to the food chain. 相似文献

The genome sequence of the microsporidian parasite Encephalitozoon cuniculi Levaditi, Nicolau et Schoen, 1923 contains about 2,000 genes that are representative of a non-redundant potential proteome composed of 1,909 protein chains. The purpose of this review is to relate some advances in the characterisation of this proteome through bioinformatics and experimental approaches. The reduced diversity of the set of E. cuniculi proteins is perceptible in all the compilations of predicted domains, orthologs, families and superfamilies, available in several public databases. The phyletic patterns of orthologs for seven eukaryotic organisms support an extensive gene loss in the fungal clade, with additional deletions in E. cuniculi. Most microsporidial orthologs are the smallest ones among eukaryotes, justifying an interest in the use of these compacted proteins to better discriminate between essential and non-essential regions. The three components of the E. cuniculi mRNA capping apparatus have been especially well characterized and the three-dimensional structure of the cap methyltransferase has been elucidated following the crystallisation of the microsporidial enzyme Ecm1. So far, our mass spectrometry-based analyses of the E. cuniculi spore proteome has led to the identification of about 170 proteins, one-quarter of these having no clearly predicted function. Immunocytochemical studies are in progress to determine the subcellular localisation of microsporidia-specific proteins. Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and glycosylation are expected to be soon explored. 相似文献

The application of decomposable organic residues such as manure and crop litter is generally beneficial to earthworms. There is an emerging interest in applying biochar, a carbonaceous product of pyrolysis, to temperate agricultural soils. The slow decomposition rate of biochar, which also contains ash and combustion byproducts, could be detrimental to earthworms. The objective of this study was to describe the earthworm populations in biochar-amended soils on a dairy farm in the St. Francis River watershed, Quebec, Canada. Earthworms were collected from replicated field plots under cereal production. Site A received three wood-based biochar types at two application rates(5 and 10 t ha~(-1) biochar) plus an unamended control, while Site B received wood-based biochar(7.5 t ha~(-1) biochar), dairy cattle slurry(10 t ha~(-1) manure), or a combination of the biochar and manure rates plus an unamended control. Earthworms were collected by hand sorting and formaldehyde expulsion from soil pits. Three species, Aporrectodea turgida, Aporrectodea tuberculata, and Lumbricus rubellus, were found at the sites, and Aporrectodea was the dominant genus. Biochar sources, rates, and application with dairy slurry did not affect the earthworm population, which had 52–218 individuals m~(-2) in 2010 and 4–96 individuals m~(-2) in 2011. The seasonal variation in earthworm population may be due to flooding in the spring of 2011, which apparently interfered with earthworm reproduction. The similarity in earthworm abundance and biomass in plots with and without wood-based biochar leads to the conclusion that earthworm populations are stable in biochar-amended soils in this cold, humid temperate region. 相似文献

The kinetics and thermodynamics of the thermal inactivation of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in an aqueous extract from mushroom Agaricus bisporus (J.E. Lange) Imbach was studied, using pyrocatechol as a substrate. Optimal conditions for enzymatic studies were determined to be pH 7.0 and 35-40 °C. The kinetics of PPO-catalyzed oxidation of pyrocatechol followed the Haldane model with an optimum substrate concentration of 20 mM. Thermal inactivation of PPO was examined in more detail between 50 and 73 °C and in relation to exposure time. Obtained monophasic kinetics were adequately described by a first-order model, with significant inactivation occurring with increasing temperature (less than 10% preserved activity after 6 min at 65 °C). Arrhenius plot determination and calculated thermodynamic parameters suggest that the PPO in aqueous extract from Agaricus bisporus mushroom is a structurally robust yet temperature-sensitive biocatalyst whose inactivation process is mainly entropy-driven. 相似文献

Behaviour and diet composition are critical elements in conservation biology within the scope of reintroduction programs. Here we focused on addax (Addax nasomaculatus), a Critically Endangered antelope species, in the Jbil National Park, Tunisia. In this study, we advanced the hypothesis that season, day period, sex and social structure have an effect on the activity budgets and diet composition of addax. Three groups were selected (large group, adult pair and solitary male). Resting, moving, grazing, vigilance and other behaviours were recorded during two seasons (dry and wet) and in the morning and the afternoon. In addition, faecal samples were collected. The results indicate that season and day period were the main factors affecting the activity budgets. The resting behaviour increased from the wet to the dry season, and from morning to afternoon. The grazing and moving behaviours increased during the wet season and decreased from morning to afternoon. Addax select a mixed diet composed of perennial and herbaceous plant species notably during the wet season. In addition, we observed that addax modify their behaviour according to the season and forage availability. This represents an adaptive strategy to survive in a desert climate with a stochastic low-resource environment and depending on ambient climatic conditions. 相似文献
