The in vitro metabolites of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and their DNA strand breaking properties

The carcinogenic compound 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) was incubated with rat liver S-9 fraction. Three metabolites were identified: 2,6-dichloro-1,4-hydroquinone (DHQ), and two isomers of hydroxypentachlorodiphenyl ether (OH-Cl5-DPE). The latter are probably products of microsomal .OH radical attack on the trichlorophenol molecule forming phenoxy free radicals. These would undergo dimerizations with other molecules present in solution. The 2,6-dichloro-1,4-semiquinone free radical was identified by ESR spectroscopy. It is formed at physiological conditions in phosphate buffer at pH 7.2 and 7.8, with a more intensive signal at the more alkaline pH. The formation is probably due to the autoxidation of the corresponding hydroquinone. Incubation of a mixture of metabolites with PM2 DNA at pH 7.2 resulted in single strand breaks. Addition of catalase and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) inhibited the DNA strand scission. It was concluded that reactive oxygen species (ROS), produced during the formation of the semiquinone radical, were responsible for the observed DNA damage. The significance of the ROS and the semiquinone free radical is discussed in view of the reported tumorgenicity of 2,4,6-TCP in rats and mice.     

Hydroxyl free radicals generated by vanadyl[IV] induce cell blebbing in mitotic human Chang liver cells

Vanadium has recently been reported to induce interphase and M-phase (mitotic) programmed cell death via the generation of hydroxyl free radicals (OH*). In this paper, the effects of antioxidants on: (a) vanadyl[IV]-generated OH* free radical levels; and (b) cellular glutathione in vanadyl [IV]-treated Chang liver cells were evaluated. The surface morphology of vanadyl-treated mitotic cells was studied by confocal and scanning microscopy. The free radical scavengers zinc chloride, glucose and thiourea reduced the levels of vanadyl-induced OH* free radicals and partially prevented the depletion of cellular glutathione. Concurrent with OH* free radical production, vanadyl-treated telophase cells exhibited excessive cell blebbing and cell shrinkage. The morphological features demonstrated in vanadyl-induced mitotic programmed cell death as a consequence of oxidative stress is novel.     

Anaerobic/aerobic conditions and biostimulation for enhanced chlorophenols degradation in biocathode microbial fuel cells

Anaerobic/aerobic conditions affected bacterial community composition and the subsequent chlorophenols (CPs) degradation in biocathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Bacterial communities acclimated with either 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) or 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) under anaerobiosis can degrade the respective substrates more efficiently than the facultative aerobic bacterial communities. The anaerobic bacterial communities well developed with 2,4-DCP were then adapted to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) and successfully stimulated for enhanced 2,4,6-TCP degradation and power generation. A 2,4,6-TCP degradation rate of 0.10 mol/m³/d and a maximum power density of 2.6 W/m³ (11.7 A/m³) were achieved, 138 and 13 % improvements, respectively compared to the controls with no stimulation. Bacterial communities developed with the specific CPs under anaerobic/aerobic conditions as well as the stimulated biofilm shared some dominant genera and also exhibited great differences. These results provide the most convincing evidence to date that anaerobic/aerobic conditions affected CPs degradation with power generation from the biocathode systems, and using deliberate substrates can stimulate the microbial consortia and be potentially feasible for the selection of an appropriate microbial community for the target substrate (e.g. 2,4,6-TCP) degradation in the biocathode MFCs.     

厌氧微生物菌群XH-1对2,4,6-三氯苯酚的降解特性

有机污染物2,4,6-三氯苯酚(2,4,6-TCP)普遍存在于地下水和河流底泥等厌氧环境中。为了探究厌氧微生物菌群XH-1对2,4,6-TCP的降解能力,本研究以2,4,6-TCP为底物,接种XH-1建立微宇宙培养体系,并以中间产物4-氯苯酚(4-CP)和苯酚为底物分别进行分段富集培养,利用高效液相色谱分析底物的降解转化,同时基于16S rRNA基因高通量测序分析微生物群落结构变化。结果表明: 2,4,6-TCP(122 μmol·L^-1)以0.15 μmol·d^-1的速率在80 d内被完全降解转化,降解中间产物分别为2,4-二氯苯酚(2,4-DCP)、4-氯苯酚和苯酚,所有中间产物最终在325 d被完全降解。高通量测序结果表明,脱卤杆菌和脱卤球菌可能驱动2,4,6-TCP还原脱氯,其中,脱卤球菌可能在4-CP的脱氯转化中发挥重要作用,并与丁酸互营菌和产甲烷菌联合作用彻底降解2,4,6-TCP。     

Isolation of Pseudomonas pickettii strains that degrade 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and their dechlorination of chlorophenols.

Three strains of Pseudomonas pickettii that can grow with 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) as the sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from different mixed cultures of soil bacterial populations that had been acclimatized to 2,4,6-TCP. These strains released 3 mol of chloride ion from 1 mol of 2,4,6-TCP during the complete degradation of the TCP. Of these strains, P. pickettii DTP0602 in high-cell-density suspension cultures dechlorinated various chlorophenols (CPs). Cells that were preincubated with 2,4,6-TCP converted isomers of 4-CP to the corresponding chloro-p-hydroquinones, but those preincubated with 4-CP converted CPs lacking a chlorine atom(s) at the o position to isomers of chlorocatechol. The ability of DTP0602 to dechlorinate 2,4,6-TCP was induced by 2,6-dichlorophenol, 2,3,6- and 2,4,6-TCP, and 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol and was repressed in the presence of succinate or glucose.

Poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates consumption during degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by Sphingopyxis chilensis S37

AIMS: To analyse the possible effect of poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) consumption on 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) degradation during starvation by Sphingopyxis chilensis S37 strain, which stores PHAs and degrades 2,4,6-TCP. METHODS AND RESULTS: The strain was inoculated in saline solution supplemented with 2,4,6-TCP (25-400 microm). Chlorophenol degradation was followed both spectrophotometrically and by chlorine released; viable bacterial counts were also determined. Cells starved for 24, 48 or 72 h were incubated with 25 microm of 2,4,6-TCP and PHA in cells investigated by spectrofluorimetric and flow cytometry. Results demonstrated that starvation decreased the ability to degrade 2,4,6-TCP. After 72 h of starvation, degradation of 2,4,6-TCP decreased to less than 10% and the relative PHA content diminished to ca 50% during the first 24 h. CONCLUSION: Utilization of PHA may be an important factor for the degradation of toxic compounds, such as 2,4,6-TCP, in bacterial strains unable to use this toxic compound as carbon and energy source. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first study describing a relationship between intracellular PHA consumption and 2,4,6-TCP degradation. Therefore, PHAs provides an endogenous carbon and energy source under starvation and can play a significant role in the degradation of toxic compounds.     

Genetic and biochemical characterization of a 2,4,6-trichlorophenol degradation pathway in Ralstonia eutropha JMP134

Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 can grow on several chlorinated aromatic pollutants, including 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). Although a 2,4,6-TCP degradation pathway in JMP134 has been proposed, the enzymes and genes responsible for 2,4,6-TCP degradation have not been characterized. In this study, we found that 2,4,6-TCP degradation by JMP134 was inducible by 2,4,6-TCP and subject to catabolic repression by glutamate. We detected 2,4,6-TCP-degrading activities in JMP134 cell extracts. Our partial purification and initial characterization of the enzyme indicated that a reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2)-utilizing monooxygenase converted 2,4,6-TCP to 6-chlorohydroxyquinol (6-CHQ). The finding directed us to PCR amplify a 3.2-kb fragment containing a gene cluster (tcpABC) from JMP134 by using primers designed from conserved regions of FADH2-utilizing monooxygenases and hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenases. Sequence analysis indicated that tcpA, tcpB, and tcpC encoded an FADH2-utilizing monooxygenase, a probable flavin reductase, and a 6-CHQ 1,2-dioxygenase, respectively. The three genes were individually inactivated in JMP134. The tcpA mutant failed to degrade 2,4,6-TCP, while both tcpB and tcpC mutants degraded 2,4,6-TCP to an oxidized product of 6-CHQ. Insertional inactivation of tcpB may have led to a polar effect on downstream tcpC, and this probably resulted in the accumulation of the oxidized form of 6-CHQ. For further characterization, TcpA was produced, purified, and shown to transform 2,4,6-TCP to 6-CHQ when FADH2 was supplied by an Escherichia coli flavin reductase. TcpC produced in E. coli oxidized 6-CHQ to 2-chloromaleylacetate. Thus, our data suggest that JMP134 transforms 2,4,6-TCP to 2-chloromaleylacetate by TcpA and TcpC. Sequence analysis suggests that tcpB may function as an FAD reductase, but experimental data did not support this hypothesis. The function of TcpB remains unknown.     

Changes in free radicals,trace elements,and neurophysiological function in rats with liver damage induced byD-galactosamine

The changes in trace elements, free radicals, and neurophysiological function were investigated in rats with liver damage induced byd-galactosamine (GalN). The elevated results showed that all the parameters related to free radical metabolism changed after administration of GalN. Relative free radical concentration, malonaldehyde (MDA), and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) elevated, but reduced glutathione (GSH) decreased. Concurrently, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium contents in liver were significantly reduced, whereas iron was elevated. In rats with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) owing to fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) induced by a high dosage of GalN, the latencies of VEPs were delayed. Moreover, there is a correlation between Zn content of brain and the latencies of VEPs. The results of this study suggested that lipid peroxidation by free radicals might be responsible for GalN-induced liver damage in which trace elements were involved, and that change in brain Zn might play a role in the neural inhibition of HE owing to FHF.     

Conversion of polychlorophenols by laccases with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole as a mediator

The action of purified laccase from the basidial fungi Cerrena unicolor and Trametes sp. on 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP) was studied, including reactions involving I-hydroxybenzotriazole as a mediator. Oxidation of 2,4,6-TCP by laccase without the mediator yielded 2,6-dichlorobenzoquinone as a primary conversion product, whereas PCP was not oxidized. Products of further conversion of 2,4,6-TCP and PCP formed with the presence of the mediator.
