污染区千金子和酢浆草根际土壤中PAHs结合态残留的梯度分布

采集某污染区千金子(Euphorbia lathyris L.)和酢浆草(Oxalis corniculata L.)的离根表0~3、3~6、6~9 mm的根际土壤,分析了多环芳烃(PAHs)结合态残留中母体化合物(Parent compound of bound residue,PCBR)在根际土壤中的含量及梯度分布规律。供试土壤类型为黄棕壤。结果表明,在非根际和根际土壤中均可检出10种PAHs的PCBR,非根际土壤中PCBR总含量为3.31 mg kg-1,高于根际土壤(1.07~1.82mg kg-1)。根际土壤中PAHs的PCBR含量随离根表距离(0~9 mm)的增加而增大。可用根际效应(R)来衡量根际土壤中PAHs的PCBR含量与非根际土壤相比减少的比例;R值随离根表距离(0~9 mm)的增加而变小。3个连续根际区中,PAHs总PCBR的R值为45.15%~67.66%,其中2环PAH的R值最大(61.18%~93.50%),4环和5环PAHs的R值最小(2.39%~6.31%),低环PAHs的PCBR在根际土壤中更易转化。PAHs的PCBR在千金子根际土壤中R值大于酢浆草,表明前者有更利于PAHs结合态残留转化的根际环境。PAHs结合态残留的根际梯度分布与根系分泌物的梯度分布关系密切,而PAHs种类、植物根际环境对PAHs结合态残留的分布影响显著。     

Corn (Zea mays L.) root exudates and their impact on 14C-pyrene mineralization

Corn (Zea mays L.) root exudates were flushed from a hydrophobic system that allowed the aseptic separation of soluble exudates from the intact plant root. Plants were grown for 90 d, during which time root exudates flowed from the hydroponic setup directly onto columns containing soil previously contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Mineralization of the PAH, pyrene, was then determined in soil removed from columns. In addition, exudated samples were directly taken from the hydroponic system for estimation of total organic carbon release and for use in microbial studies. In soil from columns that received root exudates from a planted (versus an unplanted) apparatus, there was a significant increase in ¹⁴C-pyrene mineralization. The extent of stimulation was comparable to that measured in rhizosphere soil isolated from plants growing in the same soil. Soil from columns that received solution from apparatuses that were not planted showed no stimulation of ¹⁴C-pyrene mineralization. Separate studies confirmed that some members of the soil microbial community were able to utilize these soluble plant compounds. This indicates that root exudates have the potential to increase the degradation of xenobiotics by the growth of soil microorganisms. Separating the chemical impact of the root exudates from any root surface phenomena is an important step in isolating a potential mechanism of phytoremediation. Many studies have speculated on the involvement of root exudates in rhizosphere degradation of organic contaminants, but very few studies go beyond adding simple carbon substrates in short pulses. This study employed a system that exposed the microbial community to real root exudates in the concentrations and over a time period that mimicked actual conditions.     

Influence of the sunflower rhizosphere on the biodegradation of PAHs in soil

Reduced bioavailability to soil microorganisms is probably the most limiting factor in the bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAH-polluted soils. We used sunflowers planted in pots containing soil to determine the influence of the rhizosphere on the ability of soil microbiota to reduce PAH levels. The concentration of total PAHs decreased by 93% in 90 days when the contaminated soil was cultivated with sunflowers, representing an improvement of 16% compared to contaminated soil without plants. This greater extent of PAH degradation was consistent with the positive effect of the rhizosphere in selectively stimulating the growth of PAH-degrading populations. Molecular analysis revealed that the increase in the number of degraders was accompanied by a dramatic shift in the structure of the bacterial soil community favoring groups with a well-known PAH-degrading capacity, such as Sphingomonas (α-Proteobacteria), Commamonas and Oxalobacteria (β-Proteobacteria), and Xhanthomonas (γ-Proteobacteria). Other groups that were promoted for which degrading activity has not been reported included Methylophyllus (β-Proteobacteria) and the recently described phyla Acidobacteria and Gemmatimonadetes. We also conducted mineralization experiments on creosote-polluted soil in the presence and absence of sunflower root exudates to advance our understanding of the ability of these exudates to serve as bio-stimulants in the degradation of PAHs. By conducting greenhouse and mineralization experiments, we separated the chemical impact of the root exudates from any root surface phenomena, as sorption of contaminants to the roots, indicating that sunflower root exudates have the potential to increase the degradation of xenobiotics due to its influence on the soil microorganisms, where sunflower root exudates act improving the availability of the contaminant to be degraded. We characterized the sunflower exudates in vitro to determine the total organic carbon (TOC) and its chemical composition. Our results indicate that the rhizosphere promotes the degradation of PAHs by increasing the biodegradation of the pollutants and the number and diversity of PAH degraders. We propose that the biostimulation exerted by the plants is based on the chemical composition of the exudates.     

Phytoremediation and Modeling of Contaminated Soil using Eastern Gamagrass and Annual Ryegrass

The effectiveness of a warm season grass (eastern gamagrass), a cool season grass (annual ryegrass) and a rotation of warm and cool season grasses in the remediation of soil freshly contaminated with trinitrotoluene (TNT) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) was evaluated. A total of 96 columns were filled with a Weswood silt loam soil that was mixed with TNT and PBB compounds to a target concentration of 10 mg of each contaminant. Chemical losses during this two-year field lysimeter experiment were similar for all experimental treatments and at all depths. Although higher microbial biomass was found in the rhizosphere soil, enumeration of soil microorganisms revealed a robust population in both the bulk and rhizosphere soils and the microbial growth was not dependent on root exudates only. Microbial degradation rates in the freshly contaminated soil were more affected by soil properties and the chemical characteristics of the contaminant than the presence of roots. The field data collected from the lysimeter experiment was used to calibrate a recently developed phytoremediation model. The phytoremediation computer model successfully simulated TNT soil concentrations in the column lysimeters. The model may be a valuable tool for the selection and optimization of phytoremediation methods at contaminated field sites.     

Contribution of exudates,arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and litter depositions to the rhizosphere priming effect induced by grassland species

The presence of plants induces strong accelerations in soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization by stimulating soil microbial activity – a phenomenon known as the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE). The RPE could be induced by several mechanisms including root exudates, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root litter. However the contribution of each of these to rhizosphere priming is unknown due to the complexity involved in studying rhizospheric processes. In order to determine the role of each of these mechanisms, we incubated soils enclosed in nylon meshes that were permeable to exudates, or exudates & AMF or exudates, AMF and roots under three grassland plant species grown on sand. Plants were continuously labeled with ¹³C depleted CO₂ that allowed distinguishing plant-derived CO₂ from soil-derived CO₂. We show that root exudation was the main way by which plants induced RPE (58–96% of total RPE) followed by root litter. AMF did not contribute to rhizosphere priming under the two species that were significantly colonized by them i.e. Poa trivialis and Trifolium repens. Root exudates and root litter differed with respect to their mechanism of inducing RPE. Exudates induced RPE without increasing microbial biomass whereas root litter increased microbial biomass and raised the RPE mediating saprophytic fungi. The RPE efficiency (RPE/unit plant-C assimilated into microbes) was 3–7 times higher for exudates than for root litter. This efficiency of exudates is explained by a microbial allocation of fresh carbon to mineralization activity rather than to growth. These results suggest that root exudation is the main way by which plants stimulated mineralization of soil organic matter. Moreover, the plants through their exudates not only provide energy to soil microorganisms but also seem to control the way the energy is used in order to maximize soil organic matter mineralization and drive their own nutrient supply.

蚯蚓和发酵牛粪促进南瓜苗修复PAHs污染农田土壤

为了寻求高效修复土壤中持久性有机污染物多环芳烃(PAHs,polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon),在温室盆栽试验条件下,研究接种蚯蚓和施用发酵牛粪对南瓜苗修复3环以上PAHs污染土壤的影响。试验设置施用牛粪(D)、单接蚯蚓(E)、接种蚯蚓和施用牛粪(ED)、不接种蚯蚓和不施用牛粪的对照(CK)共4个处理,播种10周后收获。研究结果表明,接种蚯蚓和施用牛粪的共同作用下能有效提高南瓜苗生物量,有利于南瓜苗在PAHs污染的土壤生长,特别是地上部分的生长;接种蚯蚓或/和施用牛粪有效地提高了南瓜苗从土壤中吸收3～5环PAHs化合物的效率,且南瓜苗地上部吸收的PAHs量最低是地下部的6倍。因此,结合蚯蚓和发酵牛粪的辅助作用,南瓜苗地上部生物量较大,能从土壤中吸收多种PAHs化合物,与仅依赖于土壤自身的作用相比,三者的共同作用使得土壤中3环以上PAHs化合物的去除率提高23%以上,可组合应用于PAHs污染土壤的强化修复。该研究为土壤多环芳烃污染修复提供参考。     

天然有机添加物提高植物修复污染土壤效率：研究进展综述.

Environmental pollution caused by metals, radionuclides and organic pollutants affects quality of the biosphere: soil, water and air.Currently, great efforts have been made to reduce, remove or stabilize contaminants in polluted sites. There has been increasing interest in phytoremediation—the use of plants to reduce concentration of pollutants or to render them harmless. This paper provides a brief review of recent progress in the research and practical application of phytoremediation techniques. Improvements in phytoremediation due to utilization of organic amendments, namely, agro- and industrial wastes(such as sugar beet residue, composted sewage sludge or molasses), biochar, humic substances, plant extracts and exudates are discussed, as well as their influences on soil structure and characteristics, plants growth and bioavailability of pollutants. Both plant-assisted phytoremediation and the use of natural materials in the absence of remediating plant are believed to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly approaches for soil cleanup. However,the characterization and quantification of a range of natural materials used in phytoremediation are essential in order to implement these approaches to practice.     

In situ gradient distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated rhizosphere soil: a field study

Purpose

Little information is available heretofore on the gradient distribution of persistent organic pollutants in rhizosphere on a field scale. In this field study, we seek to explore the in situ distribution gradient of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in rhizosphere soil proximal to the roots.

Materials and methods

Clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) grew in situ in the contaminated field soil near a petrochemical plant and were harvested when about 30 cm tall with mature roots. Rhizosphere soils of the plants were sampled including the rhizoplane, strongly adhering soil, and loosely adhering soil. Eleven EPA-priority PAHs were detected in each layer of rhizosphere soils in proximity to the root surface.

Results and discussion

The PAH concentrations followed the descending order of bulk soil, loosely adhering soil, strongly adhering soil, and rhizoplane soil in proximity to the root surface of clover and hyssop. The rhizosphere effect (R, in percent) on PAH distribution clearly decreased with increasing distance from the root, and a more significant decrease was observed for hyssop compared to clover. R values were generally lower for three- and four-ringed PAHs in the rhizosphere, which were more significant in loosely and strongly adhering rhizosphere layers.

Conclusions

Our field observations combined with previous potted studies demonstrated that PAH concentrations in rhizosphere soils increased with distance from the root. Results of this work provide new information on the fate of PAHs in rhizosphere.
