Geobotanical descriptions of roadside phytocenoses of south of the Tyumen region were made within the boundaries of five administrative districts: Uporovsky, Zavodoukovsky, Yalutorovskiy, Yarkovsky, Tobolsk. Soil cuts were taken at each site and their morphological and chemical characteristics were determined. The biogenic composition (nitrite nitrogen, nitrates, mobile phosphorus compounds, exchange ammonium), the degree and type of soil salinization have been determined. The investigated soils, in accordance with the taxonomy of A. G. Dyukarev, belong to sod podzolic and podzolic types, typical subtype, ordinary genus. As for degree of salinity, soils are non-saline. Type of salinity is chloride-sulfate, sulfate. The reaction of the aqueous extract medium is weakly acidic. Biogenic elements determined during the study are concentrated to a greater extent in the upper horizons of the soil and are characterized by a low degree of availability of available phosphates in all areas from 28 to 50 mg/kg (movable forms). The nitrate content in all areas is in the same range, from 0.2 to 0.8 mg/kg. Distribution of ammonium metabolic (4.5-23.6 mg/kg), nitrates vary from 0.2 to 0.8 mg/kg. The content of nitrite nitrogen in all soil samples is minimal: less than 0.037 mg/kg of soil. The investigated phytocenoses are characterized by poor and stable floral composition. Most of the total projective cover of studied phytocenoses account for synanthropic species. Synanthropization index of the flora of the studied phytocenoses lies within 43-64%.

Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer in intensively managed agriculture has resulted in abundant accumulation of nitrate in soil, which limits agriculture sustainability. How to reduce nitrate content is the key to alleviate secondary soil salinization. However, the microorganisms used in soil remediation cause some problems such as weak efficiency and short survival time. In this study, seaweed polysaccharides were used as stimulant to promote the rapid growth and safer nitrate removal of denitrifying bacteria. Firstly, the growth rate and NO3−-N removal capacity of three kinds of denitrifying bacteria, Bacillus subtilis (BS), Pseudomonas stutzeri (PS) and Pseudomonas putida (PP), were compared. The results showed that Bacillus subtilis (BS) had a faster growth rate and stronger nitrate removal ability. We then studied the effects of Enteromorpha linza polysaccharides (EP), carrageenan (CA), and sodium alginate (AL) on growth and denitrification performance of Bacillus subtilis (BS). The results showed that seaweed polysaccharides obviously promoted the growth of Bacillus subtilis (BS), and accelerated the reduction of NO3−-N. More importantly, the increased NH4+-N content could avoid excessive loss of nitrogen, and less NO2−-N accumulation could avoid toxic effects on plants. This new strategy of using denitrifying bacteria for safely remediating secondary soil salinization has a great significance.

The studies have shown that the introduction of sewage sludge and compost made on its basis, significantly affects the change in the agrochemical parameters of the sod-medium-podzolic soil, increasing the content of the alkaline hydrolysed nitrogen compounds by 2.2 – 13.4 mg/kg of the soil compared to with control and determining the size of its values at the level of 51.2 – 56.5 mg/kg of the soil in the upper (0 – 20 cm) and 27.9 – 31.6 mg/kg – in the lower (20 – 40 cm) soil layer. The content of the ammonium nitrogen compounds in the variants with the fertilizer application fluctuated in a small range of the values (16 – 21 mg/kg of soil) and increases under the influence of increasing fertilizer doses. Together with the change in the content of the nitrate nitrogen, this contributed to an increase in the content of the mineral nitrogen compounds in the soil in the range of 18.5 – 23.4 mg/kg of the soil in arable (0 – 20 cm) and 19.8 – 21.9 mg/kg of the soil – in subsoil (20 – 40 cm) layers, which by 1.7 – 2.2 mg/kg of the soil exceeded the control variant. The highest indicators of the mineral nitrogen compounds were recorded in the variant where the highest dose of the sewage sludge was applied – 40 t/ha and mineral fertilizers (N10P14K58). Despite the wide range of the nitrogen content values of the alkaline hydrolysed compounds and mineral nitrogen compounds, their ratio remained stable and was 2.3 – 2.6 in the upper and 1.3 – 1.5 in the lower (20 – 40 cm) soil layer, and also decreased with the increasing dose of the fertilizer. That is, this indicator did not change significantly depending on the fertilizer application rate. The content of the mobile phosphorus compounds in the variants with the use of the fertilizers fluctuated in the range of the values (77.5 – 98.5 mg/kg of the soil) and increased under the influence of the introduction of the sewage sludge and compost based on it, which is 14.6 – 35.6 mg/kg of the soil was dominated by the control indicators. The highest rates of the mobile phosphorus compounds were recorded in the variant where the sewage sludge were applied – 40 t/ha and N10P14K58. The introduction of the sewage sludge at a rate of 20 – 40 t/ha contributed to an increase in the content of the potassium metabolites at the level of 89.3 – 97.2 mg/kg of the soil in the upper (0 – 20 cm) and 83.1 – 93.4 mg/kg – in the lower (20 – 40 cm) layer, which exceeded the indicators of the control variant by more than 42.1 mg/kg of the soil. The content of the potassium metabolic compounds increased somewhat less with the introduction of the composts based on the sewage sludge and straw. The results of the correlation-regression analysis indicate that the phosphorus concentration coefficient in the soil largely depends on the content of its mobile compounds and is marked by the coefficient of the determination R2 = 0.70. The potassium concentration coefficient is closely (R2 = 0.91) correlated with the content of its metabolic compounds in the soil.

Brain damage in newborn infants who require intensive care commonly results from cerebral hemorrhage or ischemia leading to infarction.1 Hemorrhages are easy to detect with ultrasound2,3 or computed tomography,4 but neither of these techniques reliably identifies ischemic lesions until loss of brain substance has occurred. Phosphorus (31P) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be used to measure, noninvasively, the relative concentrations of mobile phosphorus compounds involved in energy metabolism in living systems,5 including the brain of animals in vivo.6,7 Intracellular pH can also be estimated. With the introduction of surface radiofrequency coils6 and topical NMR,8 it has recently become possible to make measurements in human subjects, and these methods are already proving valuable for exploring disorders of muscle (references 9 to 11, and M. J. Dawson, R.H.T. Edwards, R. E. Gordon, et al, unpublished data, 1982).

The article analyzes modern methods of wastewater treatment from bioresistant pharmaceutical products and biogenic elements. Pharmaceuticals, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, antibiotics, narcotic drugs, hormones, drugs that reduce cholesterol,etc., are often get into sewage in small quantities. They are hardly biodegradable and, passing through wastewater treatment plants without any changes, they often end up in water bodies. They have significant negative impact on aquatic ecosystems and human health, while being present in open waters even in small quantities. Among the nutrients that are also present in the wastewater, nitrogen and phosphorus compounds deserve the greatest attention. While getting into water bodies, they cause eutrophication, which isalso dangerous to ecosystems and human beings. It is shown that among modern variety of purification methods, the most suitable for removal of pharmaceutical products and biogenic elements are biochemical methods and photopurification technologies, as well as using membrane bioreactors. Biosorption-membrane methods open the possibility to use modern biotechnologies for efficient removal of bioresistant xenobiotics and reducing their negative impact on natural environment. Using photopurification technologies can help to reduce amount of nutrients discharged in surface water bodies, thus reducing their potential for eutrophication, as well as receiving additional renewable energy sources.

The article describes the process of isolation and study of strains of phosphate-mobilizing microorganisms. As a result of soil analysis, the selected 9 samples contain a sufficient amount of total nitrogen, humus and mobile phosphorus compounds for the development of microorganisms. As a result of the isolation of phosphate-mobilizing microorganisms, 23 mono-isolates were selected. After incubation of the flasks, analyzes for the content of dissolved phosphorus and pH in the culture media were carried out. As a result, the highest content of dissolved phosphorus was obtained by incubation of monoisolates No. 9 and 20, which were 3.57 g/l and 2.55 g/l, respectively. Also, the pH of the medium in these monoisolates showed the lowest values: 5.4 and 5.7, respectively. Monoisolates No. 9 and 20 are named FT1 and FT2, respectively. Based on physiological and biochemical studies, isolated monoisolates were identified as Bacillus megaterium FT1 and Bacillus sp. FT2. As a result of studying phosphate-mobilizing activity in the isolated strains of soil phosphate mobilizing microorganisms and the collection strain, the new strain of B. megaterium FT1 showed the highest phosphate mobilizing activity, where 100 % of phosphorus in the medium were dissolved within 120 hours. The yield of dissolved phosphorus in the medium with the strains of Bacillus spp. FT2 and Serratia plymuthica Nl1 were 50.0 5 and 54.2 %, respectively, for 168 hours.
