Mitigation of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from swine wastewater treatment in an aerobic bioreactor packed with carbon fibers

Mitigation of nitrous oxide (N₂O) emission from swine wastewater treatment was demonstrated in an aerobic bioreactor packed with carbon fibers (CF reactor). The CF reactor had a demonstrated advantage in mitigating N₂O emission and avoiding NOx (NO₃ + NO₂) accumulation. The N₂O emission factor was 0.0003 g N₂O‐N/gTN‐load in the CF bioreactor compared to 0.03 gN₂O‐N/gTN‐load in an activated sludge reactor (AS reactor). N₂O and CH₄ emissions from the CF reactor were 42 g‐CO₂ eq/m³/day, while those from the AS reactor were 725 g‐CO₂ eq/m³/day. The dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the CF reactor removed an average of 156 mg/L of the NH₄‐N, and accumulated an average of 14 mg/L of the NO₃‐N. In contrast, the DIN in the AS reactor removed an average 144 mg/L of the NH₄‐N and accumulated an average 183 mg/L of the NO₃‐N. NO₂‐N was almost undetectable in both reactors.     

猪瘟病毒广西流行毒株E0基因的克隆与分析

应用RT-PCR方法对猪瘟病毒E0基因进行扩增、克隆及测序,用DNA Star分析软件对6株毒株与猪瘟兔化弱毒苗(HCLV)、石门(Shimen)株、Paderborn株、GXWZ02株的相应片段进行比较分析,构建了CSFV遗传进化树。序列分析表明,广西流行株与HCLV株、Shimen株、Paderborn株、GXWZ02株之间核苷酸的同源性分别为80.8%~81.5%、82.8%~83.3%、93.1%~94.2%、93.7%~94.2%,推导的氨基酸同源性分别为88.3%~89.7%、89.7%~91.1%、96.2%~97.7%、97.7%~99.1%;6株广西CSFV流行毒株与国内外已发表的14株病毒相应序列进行比较,构建遗传进化树,结果表明所比较的20株毒株分为2个基因群,广西流行毒株均属于基因群Ⅱ。本研究成功地对广西流行猪瘟病毒株的E0基因进行了测序分析,表明近年来广西流行毒株未发生较大的变异,但病毒株有远离疫苗株发展的趋势。     

广西猪瘟病毒E0和E2基因的克隆及序列分析

通过分析目前广西猪瘟病毒(CSFV)的E0和E2基因特征,为了解广西地区CSFV的分子流行病学、遗传变异及综合防控提供科学依据。试验采用RT-PCR方法,对阳性猪瘟样品进行CSFV的E0及E2基因的扩增,经克隆、测序后,利用DNAStar软件对序列进行比对分析,同时绘制系统遗传进化树。结果表明,从阳性猪瘟样品中成功扩增CSFV的E0及E2基因。序列比对分析发现,GX2毒株与参考毒株的E0基因核苷酸同源性在83.1%~94.1%,其推导氨基酸同源性在85.9%~99.6%;与参考毒株的E2基因核苷酸同源性为81.7%~93.7%,其推导氨基酸同源性为89.0%~97.0%;E0与E2基因均属于基因Ⅱ群。氨基酸变异位点分析表明,E0蛋白的RNase活性区域氨基酸基序位点没有发生变异;E2蛋白中15个位点上的半胱氨酸均未发生变异,但单抗识别位点S734R发生变异。遗传进化分析显示测定的GX2毒株与近年来广西CSFV流行毒株的变异趋势相似,与中国传统疫苗株HCLV、经典强毒株Shimen的同源性较低,亲缘关系较远,与广西近年来的流行毒株GXWZ02株的同源性较高,亲缘关系较近。     

Effects of different loading rates and types of biochar on passivations of Cu and Zn via swine manure composting

Pollution of arable land caused by heavy metals in livestock and poultry manure has become a potential threaten to human health in China. Safe disposal of the contained toxic pollution with animal manure by co-composting with biochar is one of the alternative methods. Biochars from different sources (wheat straw, peanut shells and rice husks) amended with different loading rates were investigated for passivations of copper and zinc (Cu and Zn) in swine manure composting. Results showed that the passivation effects of the three types of biochar on Cu and Zn were enhanced with increasing biochar dose. Contents of Cu and Zn measured by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and Community Bureau of Reference (CBR) showed that wheat straw biochar with the loading rates of 10%-13% (w/w) was superior to the other two types of biochar in this study. Compared with the control, sample from wheat straw biochar was more favorable for the bacterial growth of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. In addition, pot experiment showed that organic fertilizer amended with wheat straw biochar could significantly improve the growth of Chinese pakchoi and enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase and catalase) as compared with the control. Cu and Zn contents of Chinese pakchoi in the organic fertilizer group containing wheat straw biochar reduced by 73.2% and 45.2%, 65.8% and 33.6%, respectively, compared with the group without loading biochar. There was no significant difference in the contents of vitamin C and reducing sugar between the groups of organic fertilizer amended with/without wheat straw biochar, however, there was significant difference compared with the heavy metal addition group. The application of organic fertilizer formed by adding biochar can effectively reduce the adverse effects of heavy metals on crops.

以“猪疫情”与“猪周期”叠加致肉价波动为契机建立新时代立体生态养殖产业链

该文从2019年中国生猪和猪肉产品价格大幅波动而带动CPI快速上调的“高通胀风险”及与工业生产PPI下降的“高通缩风险”关联性,探讨了推动猪肉价格快速上涨的机制。难控性“猪疫情”、规律性“猪周期”、投机性“猪炒作”及泛化性“外贸战”是促进肉产品价格快速上涨的“启动”、“叠加”、“内讧”及“外推”四大机制,并建议以此为机遇,充分利用新时代人们消费理念的绝对绿色健康性和恩施山区区域的相对独立分散性,克服浮躁性无序养殖心态,建立不受“猪周期”影响和少受“猪疫情”影响的“种-养-销”绿色立体生态产业链,使其与“猪炒作”脱代际,与“外贸战”失偶联,逐步形成新时代理性养殖和健康养殖与理性消费和健康消费的良性循环。
