黑藻对十二烷基苯磺酸钠和多聚磷酸钠胁迫的响应

研究了在十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)和多聚磷酸钠(STPP)及其复合胁迫下,黑藻过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性变化及其耐受浓度.结果表明,POD活性随着处理浓度的增加而逐渐增大;CAT在低浓度胁迫时活性逐渐增加,在较高浓度胁迫时活性降低;实验初期(6h时),SOD活性逐渐升高,随着SDBS处理浓度的提高及时间延长,SOD活性下降,并且在8mg/L浓度处理72h,SOD失活.SDBS对黑藻SOD的抑制作用大于STPP.黑藻对SDBS的耐受浓度(8mg/L)明显小于STPP的耐受浓度(256mg/L).黑藻对SDBS和STPP复合胁迫的耐受浓度值为(32+64)mg/L.     

铅胁迫对蟾蜍抗氧化酶活性及丙二醛含量的影响

对蟾蜍(Bufo bufo gargarizans)采用腹腔注射法给Pb,研究了不同浓度(1～8mg/kg体重)Pb胁迫下蟾蜍肝、肾组织抗氧化酶SOD、CAT、GSH-Px活性及丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化.结果表明,染毒浓度对抗氧化酶活性产生不同的影响.1mg/kg Pb对蟾蜍的损伤较小,当Pb>2mg/kg时,蟾蜍肝、肾组织SOD、CAT活性显著升高(P<0.05);当Pb>4mg/kg时,肝、肾CAT活性又降至对照组水平甚至被明显抑制;而肝、肾GSH-Px活性则随着Pb浓度的升高而升高,Pb浓度为4,8mg/kg的染毒组显著高于对照(P<0.05).结果还表明,蟾蜍肝、肾组织MDA含量随着Pb染毒浓度的增加而增加,肾在Pb浓度为8mg/kg染毒组显著高于对照(P<0.05),肝在Pb浓度为4,8mg/kg的染毒组显著高于对照(P<0.05).     

铜对夏腊梅种子萌发及抗氧化酶活性的影响

采用室内水培试验,研究不同浓度的外源铜处理对夏腊梅(Sinocalycanthus chinensis)种子萌发、根伸长抑制率、呼吸强度、丙二醛及抗氧化酶系统的影响.结果表明,(1)铜浓度与夏腊梅根伸长抑制率呈显著正相关(P＜0.01),但与萌发率相关性不显著.(2)铜处理对夏腊梅种子的过氧化物酶(POD EC1.11.1.7)具有激活效应,且随着铜浓度的增加激活效应逐渐增强.丙二醛(MDA)含量随铜浓度的增大先略降而后逐渐升高.对超氧化物歧化酶(SOD EC 1.15.1.1)和过氧化氢酶(CAT EC 1.11.1.6)存在胁迫初期低浓度下的激活效应,随着铜浓度的增加及胁迫时间的延长,表现为抑制效应,且随着铜浓度的增加抑制效应逐渐增强.     

芦苇化感物质EMA对铜绿微囊藻生理特性的影响

研究了芦苇产生的化感物质2-甲基乙酰乙酸乙酯(EMA)对铜绿微囊藻呼吸作用、光合作用和抗氧化酶体系的影响.结果表明,在实验条件下,EMA能提高铜绿微囊藻的呼吸速率,使培养瓶中的CO₂浓度升高;降低铜绿微囊藻的光合作用速率,促进了铜绿微囊藻叶绿素a的降解,使其含量降低;较低浓度的EMA提高了铜绿微囊藻的过氧化物酶、超氧化物歧化酶和脱氢酶的活性,而更高浓度的EMA则显著降低了这些酶活性(α=0.05).高浓度EMA抑制铜绿微囊藻的抗氧化酶体系并促进藻类叶绿素的降解可能是其抑藻机理之一.     

卤代酚复合污染对鲤科金鱼的生化毒性效应研究

为探讨卤代酚复合污染对水生生物的联合毒性效应,探究较为可靠的检测方法,根据所选6种卤代酚化学结构的相似程度和48 h LC₅₀值,将其分为3组二元混合物进行急性暴露实验, 毒性单位比为1∶1,每组分2个浓度级别观察金鱼生物学行为的变化,同时检测金鱼肝脏中3种抗氧化酶(SOD,CAT和GSH-Px)活性以及酶活性影响率的变化. 结果表明:3组卤代酚对金鱼肝脏中3种抗氧化酶的酶活性影响率变化均有显著性差异(P<0.01);3种抗氧化酶中仅SOD在1/2LC₅₀剂量暴露组中均表现为明显升高的酶活性激活率或酶活性抑制率,提示SOD较适合作为卤代酚低浓度复合水污染情况监测的生物化学检测指标.      

花背蟾蜍性腺抗氧化酶对稀土尾矿库污染胁迫的响应

本研究以花背蟾蜍(Bufo Raddei)作为实验动物,以某稀土尾矿库周边受污染的水域湿地为研究样地,以相对无污染的小白河黄河湿地自然保护区为对照样地。通过检测两地花背蟾蜍精巢和卵巢的脏器系数、MDA和GSH含量、SOD、GSH-Px、GST、CAT和GR活性、T-AOC等相关指标。研究花背蟾蜍性腺抗氧化酶对该稀土尾矿库污染胁迫的响应效应。结果显示:与黄河湿地相比,稀土尾矿库湿地复合污染对花背蟾蜍精巢和卵巢脏器系数的影响差异不显著。稀土尾矿库花背蟾蜍精巢和卵巢中MDA含量、GPx、GST和CAT活性显著高于黄河湿地(P0.05),而GSH含量表现出相反的趋势。精巢中T-AOC显著高于卵巢(P0.01),但相同组织在两地间差异不显著。结果表明该稀土尾矿库复合污染对花背蟾蜍精巢和卵巢抗氧化能力有一定的毒害效应,且精巢和卵巢对污染胁迫的响应有明显的差异性。在应对稀土尾矿库湿地复合污染胁迫时,精巢更倾向于调用SOD-CAT系统的抗氧化机制,而在卵巢内GSH系统发挥作用更大。     

The effect of oxytetracycline on physiological and enzymatic defense responses in aquatic plant species Egeria densa,Azolla caroliniana,and Taxiphyllum barbieri

Oxytetracycline is an antibiotic widely employed in aquaculture to control and treat bacterial diseases of fish. Due to ineffective wastewater treatment, antibiotic residues from fish ponds are directly released into surface and groundwater affecting the environment. The Green Liver System® is a sustainable and cost-effective water treatment based on the ability of aquatic plants to biotransformation xenobiotics. To expand the application range of this system, Egeria densa, Azolla caroliniana, and Taxiphyllum barbieri were tested in response to oxytetracycline exposure. The aquatic plants were exposed to 0.5, 2.0, 5.0, and 25 μg/L oxytetracycline (n = 4) for 24 h in order to analyze the physiological responses (photosynthetic pigment contents and hydrogen peroxide formation -- H₂O₂), the biotransformation process (activity of glutathione S-transferase), and the antioxidant defense (glutathione reductase; peroxidase; and catalase) responses. There were no statistical differences in the photosynthetic pigment contents and H₂O₂ level between the treatment and control groups in the three aquatic plant species. It can be concluded that oxytetracycline does not provoke physiological damage to the tested species within 24 h of exposure. Nevertheless, the antioxidant defense mechanism was activated. Peroxidase and catalase were the most prominent antioxidant enzymes in the three plant species, whereas glutathione S-transferase activity was significantly increased in A. caroliniana and T. barbieri.     

重金属镉胁迫下氮磷对江蓠体内主要抗氧化酶活性的影响

以大型海藻细基江篱繁枝变种(Gracilaria tunuistipitata Var Liui)为实验材料,研究重金属Cd2+胁迫下,无机氮磷作用对藻体各类抗氧化酶类活性的影响,为进一步探索重金属和营养盐复合污染下江蓠对水体的修复能力奠定一定的理论基础.实验结果显示:适当浓度N、P(560 μmol/L、56 μmol/L)的添加能提高藻体内各主要抗氧化酶的活性,降低Cd2+对藻体的毒害作用.不加入N、P或加入过量的N、P(2 160 μmol/L、216 μmol/L)均会抑制藻体内各主要抗氧化酶的活性.从总体上看,同时加入N、P要比加入单一的营养盐更有利于提高藻体内各主要抗氧化酶的活性,增强藻体的抗氧化能力.     

Biologically active antimicrobial and antioxidant substances in the Helianthus annuus L. bee pollen

The objective of this study was to measure the content of flavonoids, polyphenols, and carotenoids in the Helianthus annuus L. bee pollen. It was also to evaluate the ability of the dried, frozen, and freeze-dried extracts of sunflower (H. annuus) pollen, its scavenged free radicals and reducing action. Another aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial in vitro action of the H. annuus pollen extracts against the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. All pollen extracts showed medium antiradical activity and reductive ability. The most effective was the freeze-dried extract in both evaluation systems. The evaluation of the protective effects of DNA using a biosensor showed an opposite trending—frozen ? dried ? freeze-dried pollen. For the evaluation of antiradical activity, the DPPH method was used, and reductive ability was assessed by means of phosphomolybdic complex formation. The comparison of the polyphenols content shows higher values in freeze-dried bee pollen than in the dried and frozen pollen. The highest content of flavonoids was found in the frozen samples and the most carotenoids were present in the dried samples. In our study, the best antibacterial effects of the dried sunflower bee pollen extracts were found against Paenibacillus larvae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus raffinosus. The best inhibitory properties of the frozen sunflower bee pollen extracts were found against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Paenibacillus larvae. Very good inhibitory effects of freeze-dried sunflower bee pollen were found against Paenibacillus larvae, Brochotrix thermosphacta, and Enterococcus raffinosus. The best antifungal activity of the sunflower bee pollen was found in the frozen bee pollen extracts against Aspergillus ochraceus and freeze-dried bee pollen extracts against Aspergillus niger.     

Evaluation of antioxidant enzymes activities and identification of intermediate products during phytoremediation of an anionic dye (C. I. Acid Blue 92) by pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

The potential of pennywort(Hydrocotyle vulgaris)for phytoremediation of C.I.Acid Blue 92(AB92)was evaluated.The efects of various experimental parameters including pH,temperature,dye concentration and plant weight on dye removal efciency were investigated.The results showed that the optimal condition for dye removal were pH 3.5 and temperature 25°C.Moreover,the absolute dye removal enhanced with increase in the initial dye concentration and plant weight.Pennywort showed the same removal efciency in repeated experiments(four runs)as that obtained from the first run(a 6-day period).Therefore,the ability of the plant in consecutive removal of AB92 confirmed the biodegradation process.Accordingly,a number of produced intermediate compounds were identified.The efect of treatment on photosynthesis and antioxidant defense system including superoxide dismutase,peroxidase and catalase in plant roots and leaves were evaluated.The results revealed a reduction in photosynthetic pigments content under dye treatments.Antioxidant enzyme responses showed marked variations with respect to the plant organ and dye concentration in the liquid medium.Overall,the increase in antioxidant enzyme activity under AB92 stress in the roots was much higher than that in the leaves.Nevertheless,no significant increase in malondialdehyde content was detected in roots or leaves,implying that the high efciency of antioxidant system in the elimination of reactive oxygen species.Based on these results,pennywort was founded to be a capable species for phytoremediation of AB92-contaminated water,may be efective for phytoremediation dye-contaminated polluted aquatic ecosystems.
