Salicylate is a type of pollutant widely and persistently existed in environ- ment. Microbiological degradation of salicylate as one kind of biological remediation methods has the advantages of low cost, good effect and no secondary pollution, and also attracts wide attention both at home and abroad. Currently, many salicy- late-degrading bacteria are isolated and screened, while the molecular mechanism of salicylate metabolism is also worth deep research. The research about molecular mechanism of microorganism degradation was overviewed, various degrading path- ways including catechol meta-cleavage pathway and gentisate pathway were intro- duced, and the latest progress in regulating genes of salicylate degradation was summarized.

Distribution of Soil Enzyme Activities and Microbial Biomass Along a Latitudinal Gradient in Farmlands of Songliao Plain,Northeast China

Soil enzymes activities and microbial biomass have an important influence on nutrient cycling. The spatial distribution of soil enzymes activities and microbial biomass were examined along a latitudinal gradient in farmlands of Songliao Plain, Northeast China to assess the impact of climatic changes along the latitudinal transect on nutrient cycling in agroecosystems. Top soils （0-20 cm depth） were sampled in fields at 7 locations from north （Hallun） to south （Dashiqiao） in the end of October 2005 after maize harvest. The contents of total C, N, and P, C/N, available N, and available P increased with the latitude. The activities of invertase and acid phosphatase, microbial biomass （MB） C and N, and MBC/MBN were significantly correlated with latitude （P 〈 0.05, r^2 = 0.198, 0.635, 0.558, 0.211 and 0.317, respectively）, that is, increasing with the latitude. Significant positive correlations （P 〈 0.05） were observed between invertase activity and the total N and available P, and between acid phosphatase activity and the total C, C/N, available N, total P and available P. The urease, acid phosphatase, and dehydrogenase activities were significantly correlated with the soil pH and electrical conductivity （EC） （P 〈 0.05）. MBC and MBN were positively correlated with the total C, C/N, and available P （P 〈 0.05）. The MBC/MBN ratio was positively correlated with the total C, total N, C/N, and available N （P 〈 0.05）. The spatial distribution of soil enzyme activities and microbial biomass resulted from the changes in soil properties such as soil organic matter, soil pH, and EC, partially owing to variations in temperature and rainfall along the latitudinal gradient.

Biodegradation of microcystin-RR and -LR by an indigenous bacterial strain MC-LTH11 isolated from Lake Taihu

The indigenous bacterial strain MC-LTH11 with the capability of degrading microcystin-RR MC-RR and microcystin-LR MC-LR was successfully isolated from Lake Taihu.The bacterium was identified as Stenotrophomonas sp. which possessed a mlrA gene. The MC-LTH11 thoroughly degraded MC-RR and MC-LR with the initial concentration of 37.13 mg/L and 18.49 mg /L respectively in the medium containing crude microcystins extract within 6 d.The degradation rates were affected by temperature pH initial MCs concentration and the kinds of media. Additionally the bacterial strain MC-LTH11 also degraded thoroughly microcystins in the water body of Lake Taihu within 1 d.These results suggest that the Stenotrophomonas sp.MC-LTH11 has the capacity to bioremediate water bodies contaminated by microcystins and may contribute to the degradation of microcystins after the outbreak of harmful cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Taihu.

Purification of Organic Wastewater Containing Cu^(2+) and Cr^(3+) by a Combined Process of Micro Electrolysis and Biofilm

A complex process of micro electrolysis and biofilm was developed to continuously treat organic wastew-aters containing heavy metal ions such as Cu2+ and Or3+, and the relevant purifying mechanism was also addressed. In detail, organic materials in wastewater could be consumed as nutritious source by biofilm composed of aerobes and anaerobes. However, for heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Cr3+), part was removed by electrodeposition, and some was adsorbed on biofilm. In order to compare with the combined process of micro electrolysis and biofilm, the experimental data of micro electrolysis process (intermittent) or biofilm process (continuous) were provided, and the kinetic data of C6H12O6 (glucose) biodegradation by cultured microbes or acclimated microbes were also obtained. These experimental results indicated that for wastewater initially consisted of CeH12O6 (500mg-L-1), Cu2+ and Cr3+ (10mg-L-1), after treatment, its concentrations of C6H12O6, Cu2+ and Cr3+ were lowered to the level of 55-65mg.L^1, and less than 1mg-L-1, respectively. And the industrial reused water standards could be met by treated wastewater.

Minimization of Phenols and Phenolic Compounds in Pulp and Paper Industries： Biological Approaches

The liquid effluents released from several industries including the pulp and paper industries contain phenol and phenolic compounds. The hazardous phenols and their chlorinated phenolic derivatives from pulp and paper industries bear the potential to exert deleterious effects on the human health and aquatic ecosystems, if they are released untreated in the environment. Biodegradation of phenolic compounds in the effluent streams from pulp and paper industries is an important eco-friendly method for the removal of toxicity in industrial waste water, while the minimization of formation of these toxic compounds require several in-plant biotechnological techniques such as biopulping and biobleaching. Present paper reviews, the biochemical pathways involved in degradation of phenols and chlorophenols through microorganisms. Various biotechnological strategies involved in minimization and biodegradation of phenol and phenolic compounds and their related environmental engineering aspects such as utility of different bioreactor configurations have been discussed for the treatment of pulp and paper mill effluents.

Heavy metal contamination, physico-chemical and microbial evaluation of water samples collected from chromite mine environment of Sukinda, India

Water samples from chromite mine quarry of Sukinda and its adjacent areas were analyzed for their heavy metal contamination along with physico-chemical and microbial contents. The chromite mine water samples possessed high concentrations of heavy metals in the order of Cr〉Fe〉Zn〉Ni〉Co〉Mn while ground water did not show any heavy metal contamination except Fe. Physico-chemical parameters of mine water samples showed deviation from those of normal water. Mine water harboured low microbial populations of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in comparison with mine adjacent water samples. The correlation of data between metals with physico-chemical parameters showed both positive and negative responses while that of metal and microbial population exhibited negative correlation. Bacterial strains isolated from chromite mine water exhibited high tolerance towards chromium and other heavy metals as well as antibiotics which could be used as an indicator of heavy metal pollution.

Microorganism Selection and Determination of Mixing Ratio of Selected Strains in the ＂Chao＂ Production

The paper presents the research for the purpose of selecting microorganisms into the production process of ＂chao＂ to improve the quality of ＂chao＂ products and ensure food safety. Several analytical methods such as determination of formal nitrogen, determination of the protease hydrolysis activity, sensory evaluation method, experimental procedure, methods of analysis and processing of empirical data were used in this study. The findings showed that two out of four selected microorganism strains （one strain of fungi and three strains of bacteria denoted NM1, VK1, VK2, VK3, respectively） were the most appropriate for the cooperation among them and the production of %hao＂, which were coded NM1 and VK1. The suitable mixing proportion of strains of NM1 and VK1 was determined at 1：1.25, compatible with the 1：100 ratio of the varieties of microorganisms （in powder form） to tofu.

Soluble Carbohydrates Repress the Cellulolytic Activity of Clostridium cellulovorans and Eubacterium cellulosolvens

Studies have provided indirect evidence that cellulolytic activity of some anaerobic bacteria is repressed by carbohydrates, such as glucose. This effect is known as carbon catabolite repression （CCR）. Previous work has found that cellulolytic activity of Clostridium cellulovorans and Eubacterium cellulosolvens are regulated. Many cellulolytic systems of these organisms are expressed only in the presence of cellulose or cellobiose （the disaccharide of cellulose）. Some of these cellulose-induced systems also appear subject to CCR when more soluble substrates, such as glucose, are also available. To determine if such repression directly effects cellulolytic activity of C. cellulovorans and E. cellulosolvens, these organisms were cultivated in media containing a glucose analog. We then measured the ability of low levels of analog to inhibit growth of the organisms when cellobiose or cellulose were the energy substrates. Our results found that growth of both C. cellulovorans and E. cellulosolvens in cellobiose-containing medium are strongly inhibited by glucose analogs. In addition, both organisms exhibited delayed and slower growth in cellulose-containing medium when a glucose analog was added. These results provide direct demonstration that these cellulolytic bacteria are subject to CCR. This repression of cellulolysis may affect both of these organisms＇ ability to serve as industrial platforms for biomass degradation, and may interfere with the contribution of E. cellulosolvens toward animal digestion of cellulose. These results were also in sharp contrast to what has been reported regarding CCR activity in Clostridium cellulolyticum, which actively expresses cellulases in the presence of low levels of glucose.

Biodegradation of High Concentration of p-Nitrophenol （PNP） by Wastewater Microflora

Many nitrophenols tend to persist in the environment and they may become public health hazards. Among nitrophenols, p-nitrophenol （PNP） is a priority pollutant that has been widely used as pesticide. PNP is a toxic compound that enters the environment during manufacturing and processing of a variety of industrial products. This situation generalized its presence in multiple natural ecosystems： rivers, wastewaters, subterranean waters, soil treated by pesticides and urban atmosphere. This study aims to test the ability of wastewater microflora to degrade high concentration of PNP （500 rag/L） aerobically. An identification of the dominant microorganisms involved in the biodegradation is also carried. The cultures are performed using a minimum medium, where PNP is the sole source of carbon, energy and nitrogen. The kinetic of biodegradation is followed for more than 30 days of incubation at 30 ~C on a shaker （150 tours/min）. The obtained results show that more than 90% of PNP initial concentration is decomposed at the end of incubation. The isolation of microorganisms degrading PNP gave two bacterial colonies with different macroscopic aspects. Sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA indicated that the PNP degrading isolates were closely related to members of the species： Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus cereus.

Characterization of dominant and cellulolytic bacterial communities along the gut of silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix during cyanobacterial blooms

Silver carp is one of the most important planktivorous fish in Chinese aquaculture and plays a significant role controlling cyanobacterial blooms. A balanced gut microbiota is crucial for growth and health of the host because of its important roles in immune defense, digestion of complex carbohydrates, and production of enterocytes. In our study, the dominant bacterial and cellulolytic bacterial （Clostridium 1, Clostridium 111, Clostridium XIVab, and Fibrobacter） communities in the contents and mucus of the silver carp gut （foregut, midgut, and hindgut） were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction （qPCR） analyses. The results revealed that the dominant and cellulolytic bacterial communities were significantly different among gut regions as well as in contents and mucus. Bacterial diversity and richness in contents and mucus increased along the gut and were higher in contents than those in local mucus. A sequence analysis of gut samples exhibited the conservative phylotypes of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes. The gut of silver carp harbored an abundance of cellulolytic bacteria, particularly Clostridium XIVab. The foregut segment had the highest proportions of the four cellulolytic bacteria, followed by the midgut and hindgut. However, the proportions of cellulolytic species in the silver carp gut was much lower than those in the terrestrial vertebrate gastrointestinal tract. We conclude that gut bacteria could help silver carp obtain energy from cyanobacteria, which may be why silver carp can maintain high growth rates during cyanobacterial blooms.

Using Magnetic Technique to Increase Efficiency of Organic Pollutants Biodegradation in Wastewater

The intensity of Magnetic field by 200, 300 and 400 gaos were selective to study their impacts on bacteria Bacillus, Pseudomonas and yeasts Candida dubliniensis, Candida glabrata, lssatchenkia orientalis and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa growth and to reduce organic pollutants in wastewater by COD, TOC, TN and TP in concentrations of 180, 75, 52 and 84 ppm in pH 7.6 and treatment periods of 2, 4, 6 and 18 h in batch system. Results showed that magnetic field 300 gaos had higher ability to increase bacterial and yeasts growth by 400-600% in 18 h and reduced COD, TOC, TN and TP by 88, 85, 90 and 98.5% in same period treatment. While, the intensity of magnetic field 200 and 400 gaos have no effect on microorganisms growth and reducing organic pollutants. This study is first record for showing and explaining the positive effective of magnetic field on microorganisms growth.

Simultaneously energy production and dairy wastewater treatment using bioelectrochemical cells： In different environmental and hydrodynamic modes

A successful design, previously adapted for treatment of complex wastewaters in a microbial fuel cell （MFC）, was used to fabricate two MFCs, with a few changes for cost reduction and ease of construction. Performance and electrochemical characteristics of MFCs were evaluated in different environmental conditions （in complete darkness and presence of light）, and different flow patterns of batch and continuous in four hydraulic retention times from 8 to 30 h. Changes in chemical oxygen demand, and nitrate and phosphate concentrations were evaluated. In contrast to the microbial fuel cell operated in darkness （D-MFC） with a stable open circuit voltage of 700 mV, presence of light led to growth of other species, and consecutively low and unsteady open circuit voltage. Although the performance of the MFC subjected to light （L-MFC） was quite low and unsteady in dynamic state （internal resistance = 100 Ω, power density = 5.15 W.m-3）. it reached power density of 9.2 W.m-3 which was close to performance of D-MFC （internal resistance = 50 d, power density = 10.3 W.m-3）. Evaluated only for D-MFC, the coulombic efficiency observed in batch mode （30%） was quite higher than the maximum acquired in continuous mode （9.6%） even at the highest hydraulic retention time. In this study, changes in phosphate and different types of nitrogen existing in dairy wastewater were investigated for the first time. At hydraulic retention time of 8 h, the orthophosphate concentration in effluent was 84% higher compared to influent. Total nitrogen and total Kjeldahl nitrogen were reduced 70% and 99% respectively at hydraulic retention time of 30 h, while nitrate and nitrite concentrations increased. The microbial electrolysis cell （MEC）, revamped from D-MEC, showed the maximum gas production of 0.2 m3 H2·m-3·d-1 at 700 mV applied voltage.
