Description

Self-adaptive buoyancy tank for growth and collection of biological membrane

Technical Field

The application belongs to the field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive buoyancy tank for growth and collection of a biological membrane.

Background

A biofilm is a complex heterogeneous complex typically composed of living and non-living matter, organic and inorganic matter. The life cycle of a biofilm includes formation of a monolayer of cells from the initial state through physical-chemical interactions or secretion of extracellular matrix proteins, then proliferation in the monolayer, attachment of microorganisms to form an active biofilm to maturation, and finally solute transfer by the active organism through transformation or biodegradation leading to biofilm detachment and death. In recent years, heavy metal pollution of water environment ecosystems is increasingly serious. Biofilms have become a focus of research because of their role in adsorbing and degrading contaminants. In addition, the biofilm, as a small biological community, can reflect the health condition of the water ecosystem to a certain extent, and can be used as a sensitive indicator of the environment change of the drainage basin, the pollution of the drainage basin and the health of the ecosystem. Compared with methods such as physical chemistry and the like, the biological method for treatment and detection has the advantages of low cost, no secondary pollution, comprehensive reflection of the combined action of environmental factors and the like.

The influence of climate change and seasonal water level fluctuation form seasonal or intermittent rivers, the hydrological condition of the rivers is changed, various indexes of pH value, COD, dissolved oxygen and permanganate index of the water body are changed, the runoff volume and the detention time in the river or lake are changed, and the precipitation of suspended matters and the detention of nutrient substances such as nitrogen, phosphorus and the like are directly influenced. The temperature and pH directly influence the enzyme activity of microorganisms in the biomembrane, and the change of the pH value can also cause the change of the cell membrane nucleus, thereby influencing the absorption of the biomembrane to substances. Therefore, it is necessary to combine seasonal or intermittent rivers with the study of natural water biofilms. However, dynamic monitoring means and related monitoring instruments for the biofilms in seasonal or intermittent rivers are lacked at present. Therefore, there is a need to provide a biofilm growth and collection adaptive buoyancy tank to explore the response process of biofilms to seasonal or intermittent rivers.
