Abstract: | Background, aim and scope Sulphonated anthraquinones are precursors of many synthetic dyes and pigments, recalcitrant to biodegradation and thus not
eliminated by classical wastewater treatments. In the development of a phytotreatment to remove sulphonated aromatic compounds
from dye and textile industrial effluents, it has been shown that rhubarb (Rheum rabarbarum) and common sorrel (Rumex acetosa) are the most efficient plants. Both species, producing natural anthraquinones, not only accumulate, but also transform these
xenobiotic chemicals. Even if the precise biochemical mechanisms involved in the detoxification of sulphonated anthraquinones
are not yet understood, they probably have cross talks with secondary metabolism, redox processes and plant energy metabolism.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible roles of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and peroxidases in the
detoxification of several sulphonated anthraquinones. |
