The fates of TCP and its metabo- lites were simulated according to the first-order sequential dechlorination kinetic model. The enriched TCP anaerobic dechlorinating consortium dechlorinated 100 p.mol/L TCP to 4-chlorophenol （4-CP） via 2,4-dichlorophenol （DCP） in 10 d. The consortium was predominated with the phylum of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, based on the PCR- denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） analysis. After the consortium was applied to the colunm, the ex- perimental data in the steady state were fitted by the least square method, and the first-order dechlorination kinetic constants from TCP to 2,4-DCP, from 2,4-DCP to 4-CP and from 4-CP to phenol, were 1.58 d-1, 2.23 d 1 and 0.206 d-1, respectively. According to the fitting results, the required biobarrier width for the complete remediation of TCP, 2,4- DCP and 4-CP were 126 cm, 130 cm and 689 cm, respectively. The dechlorination/degradation of 4-CP must be in- creased when the technology is applied to the real site.展开更多

Using gastric tissues prepared from the stomach, pH distribution was observed during the histamine stimulation. The 2D distribution of [pH]out in the gastric tissues showed clear differences between the mucosal sides and the serous side. Even before the histamine stimulation, the mucosal side of the gastric mucosa showed a slightly lower pH than that of serous side. In the mucosal side, [pH]out decreased after the onset of the stimulation. The ion image sensor was capable of visualizing [pH]out in the gastric tissues. The present chemical-sensing technique realized a label-free microscopic assessment of the 2D distributions of biologically interesting substances, and consequently, [pH] out imaging via chemical microscopy has a future potential in medical fields for endoscopic analysis of gastric ulcers.展开更多
