环糊精及其衍生物对降低铅和菲的藻类毒性研究

研究了环糊精(CD)及其衍生物对重金属铅和有机物菲及其复合污染胁迫下斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)的毒性影响。结果表明,天冬氨酸-β-CD(ACD)具有促进斜生栅藻生长的作用。在单一铅或菲胁迫下,低浓度时能促进斜生栅藻的生长作用,但当铅质量浓度≥0.10mg/L或菲质量浓度≥10μg/L时,斜生栅藻的生长都受到了不同程度的抑制。100 mg/L的ACD加入后,在相同浓度的铅或菲胁迫下,斜生栅藻抑制率明显降低。其中,铅对斜生栅藻96h的半数效应浓度(EC50)由0.96mg/L增加到了3.79mg/L,菲对斜生栅藻96h的EC50由40μg/L增加到了104μg/L,毒性明显降低。复合污染时,铅和菲对斜生栅藻的毒性表现出协同作用。不同CD(α-CD、β-CD和γ-CD)及其衍生物(ACD和羟丙基-β-CD)中,对降低斜生栅藻毒性效果最好的为ACD。

The response of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Burkholderia cepacia WZ1 to oxidative stress of exposure to quinclorac

The activity response of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, ATP enzyme activities of Escherichia coli (G-), Bacillus subtilis (G+), and Burkholderia cepacia WZ1 (G-) following exposure to quinclorac was investigated. The bacterial strains were treated with the different concentrations of quinclorac (1.65, 16.5, 33.0, 165.0, 330.0, and 500.0 microg L(-1)). Results obtained indicated that SOD and CAT activities of these bacteria were induced positively and obviously by quinclorac, especially to gram-positive (G+) bacteria treated by lower than 330 microg L(-1) of quinclorac. The inhibition of ATPase in E. coli K12, B. subtilis, and B. cepacia WZ1 appeared stronger with the increase of quinclorac concentration, showing a striking dose response relationship, which can, therefore, be used as an available bioindicator for quinclorac pollution. The concentration of quinclorac applied in this research had significant effects on these three bacteria at the early stage of incubation, but none of which was persistent. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and activity staining of SOD revealed that quinclorac had effects on isoforms of E. coli and B. subtilis, and on the staining intensities of the isoforms of B. cepacia WZ1. When E. coli K12 was incubated with 330 microg L(-1) of quinclorac, the upper band of the isoforms of SOD tended to become slightly more apparent at 1 h after the quinclorac treatment, but the staining activity was slightly reduced after the prolonged treatment of quinclorac. No such changes of the isoforms of B. cepacia WZ1 was observed.     

Interactive effects of temperature and heavy metal stress on the growth and some biochemical compounds in wheat seedlings

In this study, the interaction between temperature and heavy metal stress was investigated in two wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Gerek-79 and Bolal-2973). Effects of different concentrations of lead and cadmium (0, 50, 100, 250, 500 mg l(-1)) simultaneously applied at various temperatures (8/4, 25/18, 35/26 degrees C day/night) to the seedlings were detected by measuring changes in the plant length, percentage of dry weight, chlorophyll (a, b, a/b), total soluble phenolics, and free proline. At the high cadmium concentrations, significant changes occurred in plant length and in the amounts of dry weight, chlorophyll, total soluble phenolics, and free proline. Significant differences were not observed in the parameters examined for the lead treatments. These data indicated that heavy metal toxicity increases in parallel with temperature. In addition, lead did not have any toxic effects on plants in sand-perlite mixture at 500 mg l(-1), whereas cadmium showed toxic effect even at such low concentrations as 50 mg l(-1).     

Long‐term mercury accumulation in the presence of cadmium and lead in oseochromis aureus (Steindachner)

Abstract

The effects of cadmium and lead on chronic mercury accumulation were investigated in O. aureus. After 140 days’ exposure the accumulation of mercury in the liver, brain, gill filaments, intestine, caudal muscle, spleen, trunk kidney and eye was analysed. The exposure concentrations were 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 mg/L for mercury alone. O. aureus was also exposed to mixtures of 0.05 mg/L mercury with lead (0.05 mg/L and 0.50 mg/L or cadmium (0.05 mg/L) and 0.10 mg/L mercury with 0.10 mg/L cadmium. In food fish, a knowledge of toxic metal accumulation patterns is of great importance because of their contribution to the human diet and, as fishmeal, to the diet of agricultural animals. The trunk kidney consistently accumulated higher concentrations of mercury than any of the other tissues investigated.     

Effects assessment: boron compounds in the aquatic environment

In previous studies, boron compounds were considered to be of comparatively low toxicity in the aquatic environment, with predicted no effect concentration (PNEC) values ranging around 1 mg B/L (expressed as boron equivalent). In the present study, we describe an evaluation of toxicity data for boron available for the aquatic environment by different methods.For substances with rich datasets, it is often possible to perform a species sensitivity distribution (SSD). The typical outcome of an SSD is the Hazardous Concentration 5% (HC₅), the concentration at which 95% of all species are protected with a probability of 95%. The data set currently available on the toxic effects of boron compounds to aquatic organisms is comprehensive, but a careful evaluation of these data revealed that chronic data for aquatic insects and plants are missing. In the present study both the standard assessment factor approach as well as the SSD approach were applied. The standard approach led to a PNEC of 0.18 mg B/L (equivalent to 1.03 mg boric acid/L), while the SSD approach resulted in a PNEC of 0.34 mg B/L (equivalent to 1.94 mg boric acid/L). These evaluations indicate that boron compounds could be hazardous to aquatic organisms at concentrations close to the natural environmental background in some European regions. This suggests a possible high sensitivity of some ecosystems for anthropogenic input of boron compounds. Another concern is that the anthropogenic input of boron could lead to toxic effects in organisms adapted to low boron concentration.     

Application of gaseous ozone for inactivation of Bacillus subtilis spores

The effectiveness of gaseous ozone (O3) as a disinfectant was tested on Bacillus subtilis spores, which share the same physiological characteristics as Bacillus anthracis spores that cause the anthrax disease. Spores dried on surfaces of different carrier material were exposed to O3 gas in the range of 500-5000 ppm and at relative humidity (RH) of 70-95%. Gaseous O3 was found to be very effective against the B. subtilis spores, and at O3 concentrations as low as 3 mg/L (1500 ppm), approximately 3-log inactivation was obtained within 4 hr of exposure. The inactivation curves consisted of a short lag phase followed by an exponential decrease in the number of surviving spores. Prehydration of the bacterial spores has eliminated the initial lag phase. The inactivation rate increased with increasing O3 concentration but not >3 mg/L. The inactivation rate also increased with increase in RH. Different survival curves were obtained for various surfaces used to carry spores. Inactivation rates of spores on glass, a vinyl floor tile, and office paper were nearly the same. Whereas cut pile carpet and hardwood flooring surfaces resulted in much lower inactivation rates, another type of carpet (loop pile) showed significant enhancement in the inactivation of the spores.     

Assessment of Antifouling Effectiveness of two Natural Product Antifoulants by Attachment Study with Freshwater Bacteria (7 pp)

- Goal, Scope, Background. The traditional solution for keeping unwanted organisms from attaching to submerged surfaces is to apply anti-fouling coatings. The most common antifoulant was tributyltin (TBT). TBT systems were highly effective but were also toxic to non-target organisms. The use of the TBT based coatings will be completely banned by January 1, 2008. Therefore, there is an urgent need to seek out suitable non-toxic alternatives. Methods The aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of capsaicin and zosteric acid as natural product antifoulants (NPAs) in deterring bacterial attachment. Two fresh water bacteria systems Pseudomonas putida (Pp) and bacteria isolated from Lake Erie (LE) were used to assess the attachment when the NPAs dispersed in the water. Effectiveness was ascertained based on the decrease in microbial attachment, limited toxicity, and minimum alteration of the coatings properties. Results and Discussion A significant inhibition of bacteria attachment was achieved when aqueous capsaicin concentration was increased from 0 to 40 mg/L. For instance, after 14 days the LE system depicted 93.5% and 98.5% less biofilm coverage for 20 mg/L and 40 mg/L capsaicin, respectively when compared to systems without NPA. Biofilm coverage was reduced by 92.5% and 98.2%, respectively with 50 mg/L and 500 mg/L zosteric acid. Conclusions Both capsaicin and zosteric acid was effective at preventing bacteria attachment. As the NPA aqueous concentration increased, biofilm formation decreased. Evaluating changes in aqueous pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, aqueous microbial population and biofilm formation suggested that the primary antifoulant mechanism of these two NPAs was to block the bacteria's active sites versus posing a lethal level. Recommendation and Perspective From the attachment study, zosteric acid appeared to be more effective in preventing bacterial attachment when the NPAs were dispersed in the aqueous environment. For practical applications, the antifoulant needs to be incorporated into a coating and have a slow release rate. Thus the ability to successfully incorporate zosteric acid into a coating, without deterring bacterial attachment, needs to be investigated.

Toxicity of Heavy Metals on Scenedesmus quadricauda (Turp.) de Brébisson in Batch Cultures (7 pp)

Background Aquatic environments are often exposed to various pollutants like heavy metals that are released from industrial, agricultural and domestic wastes. Emissions of heavy metals can then enter all ecosystems and bring about severe problems in plants, especially algae depending on the concentrations of a given element. The objective of the investigation presented is to detect toxic effects due to some heavy metals in the biomass of green alga Scenedesmus quadricauda. Methods All experiments were conducted with axenic cultures of the green alga Scenedesmus quadricauda (Turp.) de Brebisson (Chlorococcales, Chlorophyta). The cultures were grown in Chu-no.10 medium, and optimum physical and chemical growth conditions were provided to get higher growth rates and lower doubling times of cells. Growth of the micro algal cultures was measured on a daily schedule by counting cultures and determination of chlorophyll-a. The sterile-filtered heavy metal concentration solutions (Cd, Pb and Cu) were prepared and added as stock solutions of their salts (CdCl2*2.5 H2O, Pb(NO3)2*H2O and CuSO4*5 H2O). Results and Discussion The growth decreased gradually with the alga exposed to Cd at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/L in comparison with the control whereas 1 mg/L Cd2+ had a clearly destructive effect. The growth was decreased with Pb at 15, 20 and 25 mg/L gradually, while at 30 mg/L the effect was more pronounced. When Cu was used, the growth was increased gradually at 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mg/L and vice versa at 2 mg/L. Conclusion There were differences in toxic effects of the metals with different metal as well as their concentrations and the time of exposure.
