Strains included parthenogenetic Artemia from Bohai Bay （BHB）, Artemiafranciscana from San Francisco Bay, and A. franciscana artificially produced in salt ponds in Vietnam. The latter was included as a potential inoculum for biological management of salt ponds. The hatching percentage of cysts after 24 h and the survival rate of the tested Artemia strains were significantly reduced when exposed to a culture medium at pH 5 for 18 d （P〈0.05）. The tolerance of Artemia to 48 h acid exposure varied with developmental stage, increasing in the following order： juvenile, nauplii, pre-adult, with maximum tolerance in adults. All strains of Artemia tested could not reproduce at pH 5. At pH levels from pH 6-8, a higher pH generally resulted in a shorter brood interval and enhanced ovoviviparity. Hence, we suggest that brine acidification has a negative impact on Artemia populations in the Bohai Bay saltworks. Inoculation of Artemia with either local parthenogenetic Artemia or exotic A. franeiscana should be feasible at pH 7-8.展开更多

Cr(Ⅵ)reduction,available Cr and Cr fractionin soils were studied.The results show that addition of Bacillus sp.XW-4 can promote Cr(Ⅵ)reduction,but inoculation of this strain has a negative effect on the decrease of available Cr content in soil.In controls (without this strain)amended with 100 and 200 mg/kg of Cr(Ⅵ),Cr(Ⅵ)contents decrease to about 41 and 92 mg/kg respectively after incubation of 4 d,while in soil inoculated with XW-4,Cr(Ⅵ)contents decrease to about 18 and 60 mg/kg,respectively.The content of available Cr in soils with inoculation of XW-4 is higher than that in controls.Chromium is partitioned into water soluble Cr,exchangeable Cr,precipitated Cr,Cr bound to organics and residual Cr.The highest content of Cr is observed in residual form and water soluble Cr is not detected for all treatments after 42 d,but the soils inoculated with Bacillus sp.XW-4 contain higher content of exchangeable Cr and lower content of precipitated Cr than the soil without the inoculum.Inoculation of Bacillus sp.XW-4 can increase chromium activity in soils.展开更多
