Fitting of the data to Michaelis-Menten kinetics showed that Al3+ noncom-petitively inhibited cellulase (Km = 22.68 g/L;Vmax = 0.269 mg/min at 5.0 mmol/L AlCl3) and Mg2+ competitively inhibited cellulase (Km = 50.0 g/L;Vmax = 0.434 mg/min at 10.0 mmol/L MgCl2) Different metal ions increased or decreased inhibition of cellulase activity slightly below 1 mmol/L and strongly over 10 mmol/L. The results indicated that filter paper activeity (FPA) was suitable for analysis of enzymatic saccharification with various lignocellulosic substrates whereas crude cellulase was suitable for applications in the biomass industry. Some metal ions were proved to inhibit cellulase reversibly.展开更多

The results showed that the distribution patterns of heavy metals in different parts of aquatic products were quite different. Heavy metals were mainly distributed in the head and viscera of all investigated aquatic products except wild Carassius auratus. The contents of heavy metals in each part of aquatic products generally decreased in the following order: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd. The levels of heavy metals pollution in the muscle tissue of farmed and wild aquatic products were different,with higher levels being found in the muscle tissue of wild aquatic products. Furthermore,the content of each heavy metal in muscle tissue was also different among different kinds of aquatic products,with both farmed and wild Metapenaeus ensis having the strongest Cu accumulation capacity while wild C. auratus having the strongest Zn accumulation capacity. The heavy metals pollution in the muscle tissue of aquatic products from Lake Taihu was generally at unpolluted to minor pollution level,and only a few of them were seriously polluted with heavy metals. The main pollution factors were Pb and Zn.展开更多

文摘Intrusion-related gold deposits(IRGS)are a lowgrade,large-tonnage exploration target.Recently,auriferous magmatic rocks were found in the Bumo deposit of the Gezhen shear zone in Hainan Province,China.However,the geochronology and geochemical characteristics of the intrusions,as well as the mineralization potential,are still unclear.Field and petrographic work show that the sulfidebearing intrusions can be divided into diorite porphyrites,quartz monzodiorites and monzodiorites.Zircon LA–ICP–MS U–Pb dating demonstrates that diorite porphyrites,quartz monzodiorites and monzodiorites were formed at104±1,114±1,114±1 Ma,respectively.In addition,sulfides in Yanshanian intrusion-related gold mineralization haveδ;S values of 0.2–4.4%,lower than those in Hercynian-Indosinian(1.9–9.8%)orogenic deposits(ca.219–378 Ma)in the Gezhen shear zone.In addition,all these intrusions display close correlations between Eu/EuN*with Th/U,consistent with the differentiation of amphibole,apatite and titanite from a hydrous melt.Moreover,zircon Eu/EuN*in the intrusions are higher than0.4,demonstrating that the magmatic rocks have high water contents and oxygen fugacity values,favorable for gold mineralization.Consequently,the Yanshanian magmatic rocks can be a new potential gold exploration target in the Gezhen shear zone.

文摘Triacylglycerols(triglycerides,TAGs)are the major carbon and energy storage forms in various organisms,and important components of cellular membranes and signaling molecules;they have essential functions in multiple physiological processes and stress regulation.Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase(DGAT)catalyzes the final and only committed acylation step in the synthesis of TAGs in eukaryotes.The present work identified and isolated a novel gene,UpDGAT1,from the green tide alga Ulva prolifera.The activity of UpDGAT1 was confirmed by heterologous expression in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae TAG-deficient quadruple mutant.Results of thin-layer chromatography and BODIPY staining indicated that UpDGAT1 was able to restore TAG synthesis and lipid body formation in the yeast.Lipid analysis of yeast cells revealed that UpDGAT1 showed broad substrate specificity,accepting saturated as well as mono-and polyunsaturated acyl-CoAs as substrates.High salinity and high temperature stresses increased UpDGAT1 expression and TAG accumulation in U.prolifera.The present study provides clues to the functions of UpDGAT1 in TAG accumulation in,and stress adaptation of,U.prolifera.

文摘Ulvophytes are attractive model systems for understanding the evolution of growth,development,and environmental stress responses.They are untapped resources for food,fuel,and high-value compounds.The rapid and abundant growth of Ulva species makes them key contributors to coastal biogeochemical cycles,which can cause significant environmental problems in the form of green tides and biofouling.Until now,the Ulva mutabilis genome is the only Ulva genome to have been sequenced.To obtain further insights into the evolutionary forces driving divergence in Ulva species,we analyzed 3905 single copy ortholog family from U.mutabilis,Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Volvox carteri to identify genes under positive selection(GUPS)in U.mutabilis.We detected 63 orthologs in U.mutabilis that were considered to be under positive selection.Functional analyses revealed that several adaptive modifications in photosynthesis,amino acid and protein synthesis,signal transduction and stress-related processes might explain why this alga has evolved the ability to grow very rapidly and cope with the variable coastal ecosystem environments.
文摘In order to investigate the current status of heavy metals pollution and food safety of aquatic products from Lake Taihu,atomic absorption spectrophotometry( AAS) was used to determine the contents of Pb,Cd,Cu,and Zn in the head,muscle and viscera of farmed and wild aquatic products. The results showed that the distribution patterns of heavy metals in different parts of aquatic products were quite different. Heavy metals were mainly distributed in the head and viscera of all investigated aquatic products except wild Carassius auratus. The contents of heavy metals in each part of aquatic products generally decreased in the following order: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd. The levels of heavy metals pollution in the muscle tissue of farmed and wild aquatic products were different,with higher levels being found in the muscle tissue of wild aquatic products. Furthermore,the content of each heavy metal in muscle tissue was also different among different kinds of aquatic products,with both farmed and wild Metapenaeus ensis having the strongest Cu accumulation capacity while wild C. auratus having the strongest Zn accumulation capacity. The heavy metals pollution in the muscle tissue of aquatic products from Lake Taihu was generally at unpolluted to minor pollution level,and only a few of them were seriously polluted with heavy metals. The main pollution factors were Pb and Zn.

文摘Lake-effect snowfall(LES)occurs when cold air moves across open lakes.LES is expected to occur more frequently over the TP,due to the intensified lake expansion caused by intensified global warming.Thus,there is an urgent need to comprehensively assess the LES over the TP.Here,we revealed that the LES is triggered by westerly southward shift leading to the drop in air temperature and is positively correlated with lake area,wind speed and longitude across 12 large lakes(>300 km^(2))based on satellite observations and reanalysis data.Using a sensitivity model simulation,we determined that large lakes in the southern TP contributed to more than 50%of the snowfall in the downwind area in 2013.Projections indicate that the westerly-triggered LES will increase under the future RCP4.5 climate warming scenario,highlighting the importance of developing adaptive policies to address the growing risks associated with future LES.

文摘Among the various two-dimensional(2D)materials,more than 99%of them are noncentrosymmetric.However,since the commonly used substrates are generally centrosymmetric,antiparallel islands are usually inevitable in the growth of noncentrosymmetric 2D materials because of the energetic equivalency of these two kinds of antiparallel islands on centrosymmetric substrates.Therefore,achieving the growth of noncentrosymmetric 2D single crystals has long been a great challenge compared with the centrosymmetric ones like graphene.In this review,we presented the remarkable efforts and progress in the past decade,through precise chemical processes.We first discussed the great challenge and possible strategies in the growth of noncentrosymmetric 2D single crystals.Then,we focused on the advancements made in producing representative noncentrosymmetric 2D single crystals,including hexagonal boron nitride(hBN),transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs),and other noncentrosymmetric 2D materials.At last,we summarized and looked forward to future research on the growth of layer-,stacking-,and twist-controlled noncentrosymmetric 2D single crystals and their heterostructures.

文摘Given its intriguing band structure and unique tunable bandgap,AB-stacked bilayer graphene has great potentials in the applications of high-end electronics,optoelectronics and semiconductors.The epitaxial growth of AB-stacked single-crystal bilayer graphene films requires a strict AB-stacked lattice,identical orientations and seamless stitching of bilayer graphene islands.However,the particles inevitably present on the metal surface that produced during high temperature growth would induce random orientations,twisted stacking islands,and uncontrollable multilayers,which is a great challenge to overcome.Here,we propose a heat-resisting-box assisted strategy to produce nearly pure AB-stacked bilayer graphene single-crystal films on Cu/Ni(111)foils.With our technique,the particles on the Cu/Ni(111)surface are effectively eliminated,which greatly minimizes the occurrence of randomly twisted islands and uncontrollable multilayers.The as-grown AB-stacked bilayer graphene films show>99%alignment and>99%AB stacking order.Our work provides a promising method towards the growth of pure AB-stacked bilayer graphene single crystals and would accelerate its device applications.
