Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Egeria densa plants often efficiently accumulated environmental Mn in Lake Biwa basin. The elevated Mn levels have resulted from the production of biogenic Mn oxide in biofilms on the epidermis. Twelve strains of epiphytic bacteria were isolated from E. densa plants, including those of the genera Acidovorax, found to have Mn-oxidizing activity. These findings provide new insights into Mn oxidizing bacteria that affect metal accumulation in aquatic plants. The results of radiocesium (137Cs) concentrations in aquatic macrophytes showed that the 137Cs concentrations of submerged and floating-leaved plants were an order magnitude higher than the values for emergent plants, which suggests that the foliar uptake of Cs led to the elevations of 137Cs concentrations. The comparison of 137Cs and 133Cs using distribution coefficient and concentration ratio value indicated that the mobility of Fukushima accident derived 137Cs was not in steady state after the radiocesium fallout occurred.
