The biological response to toxicants is the inhibition of theheat production rate in cells, and toxicity is expressed as the concentration of toxicant that is50% effective to this inhibition (IC_(50)). In this paper, the effect of Na_2SeO_3 on Bacillussubtilis growth was investigated at 37℃ by microcalorimetry. The relationship between growth rateconstants (k) and concentration of Na_2SeO_3(c) shows a logarithmic normal distribution, and IC_(50)is 20.3 μg/mL. All these thermokinetic information is readily obtained by an LKB 2277-204 heatconduction microcalorimeter. Microcalorimetry is a quantitative, inexpensive, and versatile methodfor toxicology research.展开更多

However, bio-remediation of both Pb^(2+)and organophosphorus still remains largely unexplored. Bacillus subtilis FZUL-33, which was isolated from the sediment of a lake, possesses the capability for both biomineralization of Pb^(2+)and biodegradation of acephate. In the present study, both Pb^(2+)and acephate were simultaneously removed via biodegradation and biomineralization in aqueous solutions.Batch experiments were conducted to study the influence of p H, interaction time and Pb^(2+)concentration on the process of removal of Pb2+. At the temperature of 25°C, the maximum removal of Pb^(2+)by B. subtilis FZUL-33 was 381.31 ± 11.46 mg/g under the conditions of p H 5.5, initial Pb^(2+)concentration of 1300 mg/L, and contact time of 10 min. Batch experiments were conducted to study the influence of acephate on removal of Pb^(2+)and the influence of Pb2+on biodegradation of acephate by B. subtilis FZUL-33. In the mixed system of acephate–Pb2+, the results show that biodegradation of acephate by B. subtilis FZUL-33 released PO43+, which promotes mineralization of Pb2+. The process of biodegradation of acephate was affected slightly when the concentration of Pb2+was below 100 mg/L. Based on the results, it can be inferred that the B. subtilis FZUL-33 plays a significant role in bio-remediation of organophosphorus-heavy metal compound contamination.展开更多
