Phragmites stimulation and natural attenuation of indigenous microbial community accelerated bioremediation of oil contaminated soil

Illumina high-throughput sequencing method was used to reflect fluctuation of indigenous microbial community during phragmites stimulation process in this study. Results showed Proteobacteria, Fimicutes, and Actinobacteria were most influential in process, Firmicutes and Deinococcus-Thermus were positively affected by nutrient amendment. Firmicutes can be seen as indicator of degradation rate. Dietzia, Salinimicrobium, and Halomonas were the most dominant genus in both Phragmites and Blank setups. These results indicated phragmites addition improved the efficiency of biodegradation and significantly regulated the microbial community structure and functions during remediation process.

Surface activity of the lipid products hydrolyzed with lipase and phospholipase A-2

We examined thein vitro surface activity, immersional wettability and adhesional wettability shown by aqueous solutions of soy lysophospholipid (SLP)/monoglyceride (MG)/fatty acid (FA), SLP/FA and SLP/MG, and found that many lipid mixtures showed significant surface activity when their MG and FA components consisted of polyunsaturated FA and/or medium chain FA. The more unsaturated the FA, the higher the surface activity. A mixture of SLP/medium chain fatty acid MG (medium chain MG)/medium chain FA showed the highest surface activity, and was comparable to an Aerosol-OT surfactant, the most effective wetting agent. SLP/polyunsaturated FA monoglyceride (polyunsaturated MG)/polyunsaturated FA, SLP/medium chain FA, and SLP/polyunsaturated FA, SLP/medium chain MG, and SLP/polyunsaturated MG also showed a high degree of activity. Wettability decreased rapidly when the amount of saturated, long chain FA moieties increased. It is recognized that the degrees of unsaturation and the chain length of FAs in the lipid mixtures have a decisive influence on surface activities. Higher ratios of MG and FA to SLP gave higher activity; and solubilizers such as bile salts were necessary to dissolve them in water.     

Electromagnetic field of a horizontal electric dipole buried in a medium covering one-dimensionally anisotropic medium

The electromagnetic fields of a horizontal electric dipole buried in a medium covering one-dimensionally anisotropic medium are studied. There are three media, one-dimensionally anisotropic medium covered with a dielectric under the air. The electromagnetic field components are complex because of the multiple reflections from the up and down boundaries. The electromagnetic field components between air and one-dimensionally anisotropic medium are given, the trapped surface waves and lateral waves along the dielectric-anisotropic medium boundary are computed. The results have some practical applications in the communication in sea or lake above one-dimensionally anisotropic earth or sediments.
