This article describes qualitative and quantitative characteristics of chemical elements and acidbase functional groups of humic acids (HA) in five lakes of the left bank of the Ob of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. The data on their elemental composition (CNHO), atomic ratios (H/C, O/C) carboxyl (COOH) and phenolic (OH) functional groups have been presented. The relationship between the elemental and functional composition of HA has been traced. It is found that with increasing hydrogen content, the percentage of carboxyl groups in the macromolecule of HA increases, the proportion of aromatic moieties reduces, and with increasing oxygen content the number of phenolic hydroxyls increases. According to the chart of atomic ratios describing the content of aromatic and aliphatic parts, HA are placed in the sequence, characterizing the maximum proportion of aromatic structures. Clearly there is a group of HA of lake Shchuchye sapropel, which is characterized by a maximum degree of aromaticity, followed by in decreasing order according to the contents of the Carom humic acids of sapropels of lakes Srednesatyginskiy Tuman, Nyartur, Medvezhye and Satyginskiy Tuman. The highest content of the Carom is typical for the more formed, “mature” HA.

The transport properties of agarose hydrogels enriched by humic acids were studied. Methylene blue, rhodamine 6G and Cu(II) ions were incorporated into hydrogel as diffusion probes, and then their release into water was monitored. Cu(II) ions as well as both the dyes studied in this work have high affinity to humic substances and their interactions strongly affected their diffusion in hydrogels. It was confirmed that humic acids retarded the transport of diffusion probes. Humic acids’ enrichment caused the decrease in the values of effective diffusion coefficients due to their complexation with diffusion probes. In general, the diffusion of dyes was more affected by the complexation with humic acids in comparison with Cu(II) ions. The effect of complexation was selective for the particular diffusion probe. The strongest effect was obtained for the diffusion of methylene blue. It was assumed that metal ions interacted preferentially with acidic functional groups. In contrast to Cu(II) ions, dyes can interact with acidic functional groups, and the condensed cyclic structures of the dye probes supported their interactions with the hydrophobic domains of humic substances.

ABSTRACTThis study demonstrates the prevalence, phylogenetic diversity, and physiology of nitrate-reducing microorganisms capable of utilizing reduced humic acids (HA) as electron donors in agricultural soils. Most probable number (MPN) enumeration of agricultural soils revealed large populations (104to 106 cells g−1soil) of microorganisms capable of reducing nitrate while oxidizing the reduced HA analog 2,6-anthrahydroquinone disulfonate (AH2DS) to its corresponding quinone. Nitrate-dependent HA-oxidizing organisms isolated from agricultural soils were phylogenetically diverse and included members of theAlphaproteobacteria,Betaproteobacteria, andGammaproteobacteria. Advective up-flow columns inoculated with corn plot soil and amended with reduced HA and nitrate supported both HA oxidation and enhanced nitrate reduction relative to no-donor or oxidized HA controls. The additional electron donating capacity of reduced HA could reasonably be attributed to the oxidation of reduced functional groups. Subsequent 16S rRNA gene-based high-density oligonucleotide microarray (PhyloChip) indicated that reduced HA columns supported the development of a bacterial community enriched with members of theAcidobacteria,Firmicutes, andBetaproteobacteriarelative to the no-donor control and initial inoculum. This study identifies a previously unrecognized role for HA in stimulating denitrification processes in saturated soil systems. Furthermore, this study indicates that reduced humic acids impact soil geochemistry and the indigenous bacterial community composition.IMPORTANCEThis study identifies a new metabolic capacity in soil microbial communities that may be responsible for the mediation of significant nitrogen losses from soil systems.
