As a kind of eco-friendly material with wide application prospects, chitooligosaccharide (COS) has attracted increasing attention because of its unique bioactivities. In this study, novel polyphenol-functionalized COS pyridinium salts were designed and synthesized. The structural characteristics of the desired derivatives were confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Their antioxidant activities were evaluated in vitro by DPPH radical scavenging assay, superoxide anion radical scavenging assay, and reducing power assay. The solubility assay in common solvents and cytotoxicity assay against L929 cells using the MTT method in vitro were also performed. The antioxidant assay results showed that the compounds functionalized by polyphenol displayed improved antioxidant activities, which were enhanced with the increase of sample concentration and the number of phenolic hydroxyl groups. The solubility assay indicated that the prepared derivatives had good water solubility. Besides, the modified products were non-toxic to the cells tested. In short, the polyphenol-functionalized COS pyridinium salts with enhanced antioxidant activity and good biocompatibility could be employed as newly safe antioxidant in the fields of biomedicine and food.
Natural polysaccharides are abundant and renewable resource, but their applications are hampered by limited biological activity. Chemical modification can overcome these drawbacks by altering their structure. Three series of polysaccharide derivatives with coumarins were synthesized to obtain polysaccharide derivatives with enhanced biological activity. The biological activities were tested, including antioxidant property, antifungal property, and antibacterial property. Based on the results, the inhibitory properties of the coumarin-polysaccharide derivatives were significantly improved over the raw polysaccharide. The IC50 of the inhibition of DPPH, ABTS•+, and superoxide (O2•-) radical-scavenging was 0.06-0.15 mg/mL, 2.3-15.9 μg/mL, and 0.03-0.25 mg/mL, respectively. Compared with the raw polysaccharides, coumarin- polysaccharide derivatives exhibited higher efficacy in inhibiting the growth of tested phytopathogens, showing inhibitory indices of 60.0-93.6 % at 1.0 mg/mL. Chitosan derivatives with methyl and chlorine (Compound 10B and 10C) exhibited significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus (MIC = 31.2 μg/mL), E. coli (MIC = 7.8 μg/mL), and V. harveyi (MIC = 15.6 μg/mL), respectively. The results of the cytotoxicity assay showed no observed cytotoxicity when the RAW 264.7 cells were incubated with the synthesized polysaccharide derivatives at the tested concentrations.
Large amount of acidic wastewater containing plenty of organics were produced during the processing of sweet potato starch, the massive discharge and low pH of wastewater made it more difficult to treat. An efficient treatment technology for wastewater was developed in this study combined rapid separation, microorganism treatment and deep bed filtration. Firstly, the fast separation device was used to separate and recover more than 70% of the starch and protein in the wastewater. The separated wastewater was treated with Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus licheniformis under natural conditions, and 50% of the wastewater was updated daily from the third day. After filtered through the straw layer, the quality of treated water including COD, TP, TN and SS could reach the quality standard for indirect discharge. The result showed that this technology was simple and effective for wastewater during sweet potato starch production.

目的 对火焰原子吸收分光光度法(flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry,FAAS)与电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法(inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry,ICP-OES)进行方法学验证研究,以探究两种方法应用于检测生物材料钙含量的可行性,为制定生物瓣抗钙化性能检测方法标准提供参考.方法 将生物瓣植入3周刚断乳雄性Wistar大鼠背部皮下,8周后取出植入物,用FAAS法和ICP-OES法检测植入物中钙含量,并研究两种方法的线性、专属性、重复性、精密度、准确度及样品检测结果的差异.结果 当生物瓣的钙质量浓度为0~5.0μg/mL时两种方法的线性关系均良好,相关系数大于0.999.ICP-OES法测定时定量限更低、测准确性更好,与FAAS法相比更为优秀,且两种方法的回收率与相对标准偏差都能满足对生物材料中钙含量测定的要求.结论 FAAS法与ICP-OES法均可作为标准方法用于生物瓣中钙含量的测定,FAAS需要加入掩蔽剂,但测定过程灵活,可通过预估将检验液中钙浓度稀释至标曲浓度范围内后测定;ICP-OES受干扰少,但不能预估检验液的钙含量,因此适用于钙含量范围一定的大量样品的检测工作.
In this paper, a series of target derivatives were synthesized by introducing coumarin into inulin structure using three-step chemical modification, and their structures were characterized by FTIR, H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR. At the same time, the antioxidant activities of inulin derivatives were determined, including DPPH-radical scavenging activity, superoxide-radical scavenging activity, PTIO-radical scavenging activity and reducing ability. The test results showed that the antioxidant activities of inulin derivatives containing coumarin were significantly increased. Especially, inulin derivatives showed excellent DPPH radical-scavenging ability (IC50 0.09-0.11 mg/mL). Meanwhile, the scavenging ability of PTIO-radical was increased by more than 80%, and the IC50 values were all between 0.23 and 0.26 mg/mL. At the concentration below 1 mg/mL, the scavenging rate of all inulin derivatives could even reach 100%. This study provides a feasible way to synthesize inulin derivatives with significant activity, which may be developed into new antioxidants in medicine and cosmetics.

渤海近岸、河口海域镉(cadmium,Cd)污染严重,且盐度低于正常海水盐度,因此,有必要研究低盐对Cd毒性效应的影响.本研究以太平洋牡蛎(Crassostrea gigas)为研究对象,在正常盐度(31.4 psu)和低盐度(15.7 psu)条件下驯化后,在不同浓度的Cd(5、20、80和240 μg·L-1)海水环境中暴露7 d,通过检测牡蛎鳃中Cd和必需金属元素含量以及生物标志物,探究低盐对Cd毒性效应的影响.结果显示,Cd破坏了牡蛎鳃中钠(Na)和镁(Mg)离子平衡,而Cd和低盐复合胁迫对钾(K)含量变化存在显著交互作用.Cd和低盐均诱导牡蛎鳃氧化应激和能量代谢紊乱,低盐还影响了 Cd的毒性效应,表现为Cd和低盐复合胁迫对丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)含量和异柠檬酸脱氢酶(isocitrate dehydrogenase,IDH)活性的影响存在显著交互作用.综合生物标志物响应(integrated biomarker response,IBR)分析结果显示,Cd对牡蛎产生的压力随Cd暴露浓度升高不断加大;Cd和低盐复合胁迫对牡蛎产生的压力高于Cd单一胁迫,表明低盐加剧了 Cd对牡蛎的毒性效应.因此,为了更全面地评估近岸海域痕量金属的环境风险,应充分考虑低盐这一环境因素对污染物毒性的影响.
In this study, chitooligosaccharide-niacin acid conjugate was designed and synthesized through the reaction of chitooligosaccharide and nicotinic acid with the aid of N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole. Its cationic derivatives were prepared by the further nucleophilic substitution reaction between the chitooligosaccharide-niacin acid conjugate and bromopropyl trialkyl ammonium bromide with different alkyl chain lengths. The specific structural characterization of all derivatives was identified using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and the degree of substitution was obtained using the integral area ratio of the hydrogen signals. Specifically, the antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudoalteromonas citrea and Vibrio harveyi were evaluated using broth dilution methods. In addition, their antifungal activities, including Botrytis cinerea, Glomerella cingulate and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense were assayed in vitro using the mycelium growth rate method. Experimental data proved that the samples showed antibacterial activity against four pathogenic bacteria (MIC = 1–0.125 mg/mL, MBC = 8–0.5 mg/mL) and enhanced antifungal activity (50.30–68.48% at 1.0 mg/mL) against Botrytis cinerea. In particular, of all chitooligosaccharide derivatives, the chitooligosaccharide derivative containing pyridinium and tri-n-butylamine showed the strongest antibacterial capacity against all of the test pathogenic bacteria; the MIC against Vibrio harveyi was 0.125 mg/mL and the MBC was 1 mg/mL. The experimental results above showed that the introduction of pyridinium salt and quaternary ammonium salt bearing trialkyl enhanced the antimicrobial activity. In addition, the cytotoxicity against L929 cells of the chitooligosaccharide derivatives was evaluated, and the compounds exhibited slight cytotoxicity. Specifically, the cell viability was greater than 91.80% at all test concentrations. The results suggested that the cationic chitooligosaccharide derivatives bearing pyridinium and trialkyl ammonium possessed better antimicrobial activity than pure chitooligosaccharide, indicating their potential as antimicrobial agents in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields.
Abstract The characteristics and dynamic succession of biofilm on the surface of attached materials at different phosphate levels were studied. Phosphate showed significant effect on the formation of biofilm. The dry weight, dry weight without ash, chlorophyll-a, and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of biofilm all increased with the increase of phosphate level, and reached the peak value at 40 µg/L, then stabilized and slightly decreased with the increase of phosphate concentration. The proportion of polysaccharides in EPS of each layer in biofilm increased from outside to inside (from Soluble EPS to Loosely Bound EPS to Tightly Bound EPS), in contrast, the proportion of protein showed the opposite. EPS of various types in biofilms enhanced with the increase of phosphate level, the amounts of protein and polysaccharide in EPS showed similar trend. When the phosphate concentrations were lower than 40 µg/L, the ratio of protein to polysaccharide (PN/PS) increased with the increase of phosphate level, and decreased somewhat when the phosphate was higher than 50 µg/L. The proportion of bacteria in microbial population of biofilm decreased with the increasing of phosphate level and immersion time of the attached material, while the proportion of diatoms increased gradually. The study was helpful to understand the dialectical relationship between environmental factors and biological factors in the aquaculture environment, and provides a theoretical basis for exploring the mechanism of marine biofilm formation.

As one of the most promising and eco-friendly oligosaccharides with a variety of potential biological activities, chitooligosaccharide has attracted much attention because of its unique properties. The modification of chitooligosaccharide has been used for synthesizing novel chitooligosaccharide derivatives with excellent antimicrobial activities. In this work, chitooligosaccharide-niacin acid conjugate was firstly synthesized by using N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole as catalyst and its cationic derivatives were obtained by further nucleophilic reaction between chitooligosaccharide-niacin acid conjugate and halogenated benzyl bromide. The structural characteristics of chitooligosaccharide derivatives were investigated by FTIR and NMR. In addition, the antimicrobial property of three end products against three plant-threatening fungal pathogens and four harmful bacteria was evaluated by the disc diffusion method. The in vitro antimicrobial activities results presented a significantly improved inhibition capability against pathogenic microorganisms of cationic chitooligosaccharide derivatives bearing N-halogenated benzyl pyridinium as compared to chitooligosaccharide and chitooligosaccharide-niacin acid conjugate. Specifically, all end products possessed significant enhancement in antimicrobial activities, the inhibition zones of the derivatives were from 6.3 to 19.4 mm against fungi and compounds also had excellent bacteriostatic activity (7.7–20.8 mm). Specially, chitooligosaccharide derivative bearing 4-chlorobenzyl showed the strongest antifungal activity, its inhibition zone reached up to 19.4 mm against F. oxysporum, which was close to the carbendazim (22.3 mm), it also showed excellent antibacterial activity against harmful bacterial, its bacteriostatic diameter was astonishingly 20.8 mm. These data indicated that the introduction of pyridinium salt with halogenated benzyl by the reaction of halogenated benzyl bromide groups and chitooligosaccharide-niacin acid conjugate could conspicuously enhance the antimicrobial effect. Chitooligosaccharide derivatives with enhanced antimicrobial activities could serve as potential biomaterial for antimicrobial applications.
