Abstract:

Using one kind of main mercury methylation iron reducing bacteria of Geobacter sulphurreducens PCA strains as targeting bacteria, two kinds of quinolones ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin were chosen to study the influence of antibiotics on PCA strains and its ability to methylate mercury in combined pollution. The experiment results showed that a promoting effect of antibiotics on growth PCA was found under the low concentration. Through the detection of the concentration of antibiotic and the figure of ESI scan, it was found that Geobacter sulphurreducens PCA could metabolize ofloxacin, but ciprofloxacin could not be degraded by Geobacter sulphurreducens PCA. Methylation of mercury was promoted by the presence of two kinds of antibiotics, the methyl-mercury conversion rate of ofloxacin to Geobacter sulphurreducens PCA was 4.21 times higher than that of the control group, ciprofloxacin was 2.27 times, and the addition of two mixed kinds of antibiotics was nearly 2 times respectively. In the mixed solution, there is no superimposed effect of methyl-mercury.

摘要：

以一种典型的汞甲基化细菌铁还原菌Geobacter sulphurreducens PCA为研究菌种, 选取两种喹诺酮类抗生素氧氟沙星和环丙沙星, 研究复合污染体系下抗生素对PCA菌生长和产甲基汞能力的影响。研究结果表明, 低浓度抗生素对PCA菌的生长有促进作用。通过抗生素浓度的检测以及ESI scan扫描图得出, Geobacter sulphurreducens PCA可以代谢氧氟沙星, 环丙沙星不能被Geobacter sulphur- reducens PCA降解。两种抗生素的存在会促进汞甲基化发生, 氧氟沙星对于Geobacter sulphurreducens PCA甲基汞转化率的提升是对照组的4.21倍, 环丙沙星对甲基汞转化率的提升是对照组的2.27倍。添加两种抗生素的混合溶液对Geobacter sulphurreducens PCA菌甲基汞转化率的提升也达到对照组的2倍以上, 但没有显示出两种抗生素对甲基汞转化具有协同促进作用。
