以酵母菌为载体,废弃烟叶提取物为还原剂,制备酵母菌载纳米铁(TB–Fe/SC NPs),并探究其去除水中2, 4, 6–三氯酚(2, 4, 6–TCP)的性能。结果表明：负载在酵母菌上的纳米铁为粒径(77.6±16.1) nm的球形颗粒;TB–Fe/SC NPs去除2, 4, 6–TCP主要包括吸附和氧化降解2种途径,符合拟二级反应动力学模型;溶解氧和羟自由基在TB–Fe/SC NPs氧化降解2, 4, 6–TCP中起重要作用;TB–Fe/SC NPs对2, 4, 6–TCP的去除率随温度的升高而增大,随2, 4, 6–TCP初始浓度的增大而减少,而反应体系的pH值对TB–Fe/SC NPs去除2, 4, 6–TCP的影响较小;TB–Fe/SC NPs用量为1.0~3.0 g/L时,2, 4, 6–TCP的去除率随TB–Fe/SC NPs用量的增大而增大;Fe3+、Mg2+、Ca2+和SO42–能促进TB–Fe/SC NPs去除2, 4, 6–TCP的反应,HPO42–、HCO3–和腐殖酸则对反应有抑制作用,而K+、NO3–和Cl–对2, 4, 6–TCP的去除影响不明显;TB–Fe/SC NPs能在室温下稳定储存6个月以上,重复使用6次后,2, 4, 6–TCP的去除率由80.54%下降到28.75%;在25 ℃和pH=5.0的条件下,3 g/L TB–Fe/SC NPs对20 mg/L 2, 4, 6–TCP的去除率和去除量分别为(80.54±0.39)%、(5.23±0.03) mg/g。     

Nonphytotoxic copper oxide nanoparticles are powerful “nanoweapons” that trigger resistance in tobacco against the soil-borne fungal pathogen Phytophthora nicotianae

Investigations into the potential application of nanoparticles acting as nanofungicides in sustainable agriculture are rapidly expanding due to the high antimicrobial properties of these compounds, which do not risk inducing pathogen resistance to fungicides.  A detailed understanding of the impact of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) on soil-borne phytopathogenic fungi is yet to be obtained.  This study aimed to explore the in vitro antifungal activity and control efficacy of CuO NPs applied via irrigation with respect to tobacco black shank (TBS) disease caused by Phytophthora nicotianae.  The results revealed that CuO NPs greatly interfered with the reproductive growth process of this fungus, repressing hyphal growth, spore germination and sporangium production.  Additionally, morphological damage, intracellular ROS accumulation and increased SOD enzyme activity in hyphae were the antifungicidal mechanisms of these NPs.  In pot experiments, treatment with CuO NPs at 100 mg L^–1 significantly suppressed TBS development, compared with the effect on control plants, and the control efficacy reached 33.69% without inducing phytotoxicity.  Exposure to CuO NPs significantly activated a series of defense enzymes, and resistance genes in tobacco can further explain the mechanisms by which CuO NPs suppressed fungal infection.  The Cu content in both the leaves and roots of P. nicotianae-infested plants increased by 50.03 and 27.25%, respectively, after treatment with 100 mg L^–1 CuO NPs, compared with that of healthy plants.  In particular, a higher Cu content was observed in infected roots than in leaves.  Therefore, this study showed the potential of CuO NPs applied as nanofungicides and as nanoinducers of fungus resistance genes for the management of TBS through inhibition of pathogen infection and stimulation of plant defenses.     

植物介导金属纳米颗粒合成的研究进展

随着纳米科技的快速发展,人工合成的金属纳米颗粒已在农业生产、生物医药、个人消费品等领域广泛应用。同时,越来越多研究表明植物也能介导金属纳米颗粒的合成。这些研究为制备金属纳米颗粒提供了新思路,但是,多数研究只局限于植物合成方法的表观描述,缺乏对过程及机理的深入研究。这不仅阻碍了金属纳米颗粒与植物相互作用的理论认知,还限制了植物合成方法的大规模应用。本文总结了近年来植物体内金属纳米颗粒的鉴别与表征方法及植物合成纳米材料的应用,重点对植物合成纳米颗粒的过程进行了梳理,发现有机酸、还原性糖类、蛋白质等生物成分都会参与纳米颗粒的生成过程。今后需研发更多的表征手段,以原位技术全面揭示植物合成金属纳米颗粒的机制。

菌肥对铜污染土壤玉米苗期光合特性的影响

采用盆栽试验,研究了在铜(100 mg·kg-1)污染土壤中,施用菌肥(0,50,100,200 g)对不同品种玉米(晋单56号、长玉16号、大正2号)苗期光合特性(净光合速率、胞间CO2浓度、蒸腾速率和气孔导度)的影响。结果表明:(1)施入菌肥100 g,大正2号、长玉16号和晋单56号玉米的苗期净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度的值有明显的增加,且含量均高于其他处理,胞间CO2浓度均低于其他处理。(2)大正2号玉米在施用菌肥100 g处理下,苗期叶片净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度的含量均高于其他品种玉米,而叶片的胞间CO2浓度含量低于其他品种玉米。4种光合特性的值分别为:8.34,3.08,69.3,23.3μmol·m-2·s-1。由此可见,在铜污染土壤中施入菌肥,对不同品种玉米苗期净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度均有明显的促进作用,对胞间的CO2浓度有明显的抑制作用,即大正2号玉米在施用菌肥100g时,苗期光合作用最强。     

蛋氨酸铜和硫酸铜在凡纳对虾饲料中的应用效果比较

通过在饲料中分别加入不同浓度(铜元素的添加浓度分别为0、7.5、15、30、45mg·kg-1饲料)的硫酸铜和蛋氨酸铜,比较了硫酸铜和蛋氨酸铜对凡纳对虾生长、血液免疫因子及虾体铜的影响。添加蛋氨酸铜的各实验组生长速度同对照组之间没有显著差异;而添加硫酸铜的各组,只有铜添加量为30mg·kg-1饲料的试验组生长速度显著高于对照组(P<0.05),其它组同对照组之间差异不显著;成活率各组间无显著差异。除了铜添加量为15mg·kg-1饲料的试验组,各试验组对虾血清的酚氧化酶(PO)活力都高于对照组,其中当铜添加量为30mg·kg-1时最强,在此时蛋氨酸铜添加组的PO活力高于硫酸铜;随着铜添加浓度的提高,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力增强,在添加量达到30mg·kg-1饲料时达到最大,此时硫酸铜组和蛋氨酸铜组间无差异,都为507。对虾肌肉中铜的含量各组间无显著差异,为(4.07±1.80)mg·kg-1,个体间差异非常大;肝胰脏中铜的最高含量为210.36mg·kg-1,最低为33.78mg·kg-1(空白对照组),明显高于肌肉中的含量。结果表明,在试验条件下,同硫酸铜相比,蛋氨酸铜没有显著的促生长效果,对肌肉、肝铜含量以及SOD活性没有显著影响。     

Effect of dietary iron supplement on growth, haematology and microelements of juvenile grouper, Epinephelus coioides

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary iron supplement on growth, haematology and microelements of juvenile grouper, Epinephelus coioides. Casein–gelatine‐based diets supplemented with 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg kg⁻¹ iron from ferrous sulphate were fed to grouper (mean initial weight: 21.0 ± 0.2 g) for 8 weeks. Weight gain was highest in fish fed the diet supplemented with 100 mg kg⁻¹ iron, intermediate in fish fed diets with 50, 150, 200 and 250 mg kg⁻¹ iron and lowest in fish fed the basal diet. Feed efficiency followed a similar trend except that the lowest value was in fish fed the basal diet and the diet supplemented with 250 mg kg⁻¹ iron. Hepatic iron was highest in fish fed diets supplemented with iron ≥100 mg kg⁻¹, followed by fish fed diet with 50 mg kg⁻¹ iron and lowest in fish fed the basal diet. The whole‐body iron was lowest in fish fed the basal diet but not significantly different from other groups, as judged by anova . Iron supplement to the basal diet had no significant effect on haematological parameters (red blood cell count, haematocrit and haemoglobin), hepatic copper concentration or manganese, zinc concentration in liver and whole body. Broken‐line analysis of hepatic iron indicated that iron supplementation of 100 mg kg⁻¹ satisfied the hepatic iron storage and that further supplementation did not expand the iron status.     

Nano- and Microdelivery Systems for Marine Bioactive Lipids

There is an increasing body of evidence of the positive impact of several marine lipids on human health. These compounds, which include ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, have been shown to improve blood lipid profiles and exert anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects. The high instability of these compounds to oxidative deterioration and their hydrophobicity have a drastic impact in their pharmacokinetics. Thus, the bioavailability of these compounds may be affected, resulting in their inability to reach the target sites at effective concentrations. In this regard; micro/nanoparticles can offer a wide range of solutions that can prevent the degradation of targeted molecules, increase their absorption, uptake and bioavailability. In this work we will present the options currently available concerning micro- and nanodelivery systems for marine lipids; with emphasis on micro/nanoparticles; such as micro/nanocapsules and emulsions. A wide range of bottom-up approaches using casein, chitosan, cyclodextrins, among others; will be discussed.
