葛仙米对丁草胺胁迫的响应

研究了丁草胺对可食用蓝藻葛仙米(Nostoc sphaeroides)生理和代谢活性的影响．用不同浓度的丁草胺处理葛仙米,结果显示低浓度(5 mg·L-1)丁草胺使其光合作用、呼吸作用和光合系统Ⅱ活性增强,高浓度丁草胺(>5 mg·L-1)限制其光合作用、呼吸作用和光合系统Ⅱ活性．同时丁草胺对葛仙米膜结构和功能具有破坏作用,随着丁草胺处理浓度增大,质膜透性不断增大,丙二醛和超氧自由基阴离子含量升高；在低浓度丁草胺处理时,类胡萝卜素含量增加,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性增强,高浓度丁草胺处理时,类胡萝卜素含量降低,SOD活性下降；表明葛仙米对低浓度的丁草胺胁迫具有一定的耐受能力,但高浓度的丁草胺对其生理和代谢构成威胁；针对目前葛仙米野生生境中丁草胺的用量,建议限制丁草胺在葛仙米产地的使用,以保护日益稀缺的葛仙米资源．     

Induction of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in cyanobacteria by solar ultraviolet-B radiation

Three filamentous and heterocystous N₂-fixing cyanobacteria, Anabaena sp., Nostoc commune and Scytonema sp. were tested for the presence of ultraviolet-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and their induction by solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) studies revealed the presence of only one type of MAAs in all three cyanobacteria, that was identified as shinorine, a bisubstituted MAA containing both glycine and serine groups having an absorption maximum at 334 nm and a retention time of around 2.8 min. There was a circadian induction in the synthesis of MAAs when the cultures were exposed to mid-latitude solar radiation (Playa Unión, Rawson, Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina) for 3 days, 4–6th February, 2000. Solar radiation was measured by an ELDONET (European Light Dosimeter Network) filter radiometer permanently installed on the roof of the Estación de Fotobiología Playa Unión (43°18′ S; 65°03′ W). The maximum irradiances were around 450–500, 45–50 and 1.0–1.2 W m⁻² for PAR (photosynthetic active radiation), UV-A (ultraviolet-A) and UV-B (ultraviolet-B), respectively. PAR and UV-A had no significant impact on MAA induction while UV-B induced the synthesis of shinorine in all three cyanobacteria. Shinorine was found to be induced mostly during the light period. During the dark period the concentration stayed almost constant. In addition to shinorine, another unidentified, water-soluble, brownish compound with an absorption maximum at 315 nm was found to be induced by UV-B only in Scytonema sp. and released into the medium. This substance was neither found in Anabaena sp. nor in Nostoc commune. Judging from the results, the studied cyanobacteria may protect themselves from deleterious short wavelength radiation by their ability to synthesize photoprotective compounds in response to UV-B radiation.

Efficient Lead Pb(II) Removal with Chemically Modified Nostoc commune Biomass

A new biosorbent based on Nostoc commune (NC) cyanobacteria, chemically modified with NaOH (NCM), has been prepared, characterized and tested as an effective biomass to remove Pb(II) in aqueous media. The adsorption capacity of NCM was determined to be q_e = 384.6 mg g⁻¹. It is higher than several other biosorbents reported in the literature. Structural and morphological characterization were performed by FTIR, SEM/EDX and point zero of charge pH (pH_PZC) measurements. NCM biosorbent showed more porous surfaces than those NC with heterogeneous plates including functional adsorption groups such as OH, C = O, COO⁻, COH or NH. Optimal Pb(II) adsorption occurred at pH 4.5 and 5.5 with a biomass dose of 0.5 g L⁻¹. The experimental data of the adsorption process were well fitted with the Freundlich-isotherm model and pseudo-2nd order kinetics, which indicated that Pb(II) adsorption was a chemisorption process on heterogeneous surfaces of NCM. According to the thermodynamic parameters, this process was exothermic (∆H⁰ < 0), feasible and spontaneous (∆G⁰ < 0). NCM can be regenerated and efficiently reused up to 4 times (%D > 92%). NCM was also tested to remove Pb (%R~98%) and Ca (%R~64%) from real wastewater.     

Bioaccumulation of arsenic by freshwater algae (Nostoc sp.) and the application to the removal of inorganic arsenic from an aqueous phase

An arsenic-resistant blue-green alga, Nostoc sp., was screened from an arsenic-polluted environment. The effects of the culture conditions on the growth and the arsenic bioaccumulation were investigated. In five culture media tested, Microcystis aeruginosa medium was found to be optimum for the growth. The effects of the concentration of five nutrients (P, Co, Fe, Mo and N) in the MA medium on arsenic bioaccumulation by the Nostoc sp. were also investigated. From the experimental results, the authors proposed a new culture medium which was designed for effective arsenic bioaccumulation by the Nostoc sp. The new medium was named the Modified MA medium (abbreviated as MMA). Removal of arsenic from an aqueous phase by means of arsenic bioaccumulation by the Nostoc sp. was investigated. When arsenic-polluted water was enriched with the nutrients of MMA, the arsenic level was found to be effectively lowered by the Nostoc sp. to 0.05 ppm.     

Solid-phase/supercritical-fluid extraction for liquid chromatography of phenolic compounds in freshwater microalgae and selected cyanobacterial species

In the present paper a new extraction technique based on the combination of solid-phase/supercritical-fluid extraction (SPE/SFE) with subsequent reversed-phase HPLC is described. The SPE/SFE extractor was originally constructed from SPE-cartridge incorporated into the SFE extraction cell. Selected groups of benzoic acid derivatives (p-hydroxybenzoic, protocatechuic, gallic, vanillic and syringic acid), hydroxybenzaldehydes (4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde) and cinnamic acid derivatives (o-coumaric, p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic, sinapic and chlorogenic acid) were extracted. Cyclic addition of binary extraction solvent system based on methanol:water (1:1, v/v) and methanol/ammonia aqueous solution was used for extraction at 40 MPa and 80 °C. The p-hydroxybenzoic, protocatechuic, vanillic, syringic, caffeic and chlorogenic acid; 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde were identified by HPLC-electrospray mass spectrometry in SPE/SFE extracts of acid hydrolyzates of microalga (Spongiochloris spongiosa) and cyanobacterial strains (Spirulina platensis, Anabaena doliolum, Nostoc sp., and Cylindrospermum sp.). For the identification and quantification of the compounds the quasi-molecular ions [M−H]⁻ and specific fragments were analysed by quadrupole mass spectrometry analyzer. Our analysis showed that the microalgae and cyanobacteria usually contained phenolic acids or aldehydes at μg levels per gram of lyophilized sample. The proposed SPE/SFE extraction method would be useful for the analysis of different plant species containing trace amount of polar fraction of phenols.

Application of Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART-MS) for Identification of an Epiphytic Cyanobacterium,Nostoc Sp.

Cyanobacteria, a diverse group of bacteria are identified entirely on the basis of morphological characters, which can frequently lead to incorrect results; therefore, the present study reports a new approach for identification of an organism based on DART technique. Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART-MS) was used to identify a cyanobacterium, isolated from the leaf surface, on the basis of characteristic chemical compounds present in the strain. A chemical fingerprint was generated and peaks obtained were found to be similar to the masses of the compounds reported for Nostoc sp.
