The fungal strains were obtained by single colony isolation technique from the soil of the world’s unique proved independent selenium deposit. The anti-tumor activity was assayed by MTT method using MDA-MB-231cells, Hela cells and SMMC-7721 cells, respectively, together with morphological observation of these cells under inversed light microscope. The 73 terrestrial fungal strains were isolated from the soil samples collected from 6 different areas in Enshi area of HuBei Province, China. Among them, 32 strains produced fermentation products obviously inhibiting the Hela cells, 13 strains inhibiting the MDA-MB-231 cells and 9 strains inhibiting the SMMC-7721 cells with IC₅₀ value less than 90 µg/ml. These antitumor-metabolite-producing strains have provided fungal strains for further studies on the bioactive metabolites.

Contamination profiles of 11 kinds of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were analyzed by using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry in water and sediment samples of Hanjiang River in dry and wet seasons. The results showed that 11 kinds of PFCs were all detected. The total concentrations of PFCs in water and sediment were 0.3-23.04 ng/L, 0-55.1 ng/g in dry season and 0.16-19.68 ng/L, 0.99-85.07 ng/g in wet season. The maximum concentration of PFCs was detected in Wuhan where Hanjiang River feeds into Yangtze River. Meanwhile,Wuhan had the highest concentration of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) with 22.52 ng/L in dry season and 12.52 ng/L in wet season. Perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA) and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) were the dominant PFCs in sediment and the highest total concentration of PFCs was detected in Taocha. There was little difference in the concentration composition of ∑PFCs in sediment in both seasons. The risk quotient method was used for the ecological risk assessment of PFOA, perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), PFHxA and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) in water, and PFOA and PFOS in sediment based on the measured environmental concentration (MEC) and the predicted non-effect concentration (PNEC) of target pollutants.The assessment results suggest that the above PFCs in water and sediment of Hanjiang River posed no ecological risk to environment.
