Systemic approaches to biodegradation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Biodegradation, the ability of microorganisms to remove complex chemicals from the environment, is a multifaceted process in which many biotic and abiotic factors are implicated. The recent accumulation of knowledge about the biochemistry and genetics of the biodegradation process, and its categorization and formalization in structured databases, has recently opened the door to systems biology approaches, where the interactions of the involved parts are the main subject of study, and the system is analysed as a whole. The global analysis of the biodegradation metabolic network is beginning to produce knowledge about its structure, behaviour and evolution, such as its free-scale structure or its intrinsic robustness. Moreover, these approaches are also developing into useful tools such as predictors for compounds' degradability or the assisted design of artificial pathways. However, it is the environmental application of high-throughput technologies from the genomics, metagenomics, proteomics and metabolomics that harbours the most promising opportunities to understand the biodegradation process, and at the same time poses tremendous challenges from the data management and data mining point of view. 相似文献

Performance of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant by rotating biological contactors (RBC) system was monitored during a year by physico-chemical and microbial characterisation. Six points along wastewater treatment were selected in the plant: three points along the water line (influent, sedimentation tank and effluent) and three points along RBC system (RBC1, RBC2 and RBC3). Although a large seasonal change in the values of physico-chemical parameters was observed, operation of the plant was optimal during all year (90% of removal in BOD5 and SS influent content). Microbial characterisation was approached by determining the structure and dynamics of protozoan and metazoan communities. Protozoa were the most abundant in all stages in the plant, heterotrophic flagellates being the most representative group in the water line and ciliates in the RBC system. The same seasonal preference was only observed for heterotrophic flagellates in the water line and green flagellates in the RBC system, both groups having highest abundances in summer and spring, respectively. Identification of ciliated protozoa populations rendered 58 species of ciliates in the plant. Most of these species are typical of aerobic wastewater treatment systems except three of them, which are cited for the first time in this type of ecosystems: Chaenea stricta, Holosticha mancoidea and Oxytricha lanceolata. Along the water line 34 species were identified, and half of them only appeared occasionally (once in all the study), while along the RBC system biofilms 55 species were observed, and the majority appeared permanently in this system. Our results indicate that the type of habitat, rather than the physico-chemical water parameters, was the primary factor in determining the different distribution of protozoan and metazoan communities in the plant. In RBC biofilms, the structure of ciliate protozoa community was found to be quite sensitive to changes in physico-chemical parameters, mainly to organic loading (BOD5) variations. 相似文献

Anti-programmed death-1 (anti-PD1) treatment has significantly improved outcomes of advanced melanoma with a considerable percentage of patients achieving complete response (CR). This real-world study analyzed the feasibility of elective anti-PD1 discontinuation in advanced melanoma patients with CR and evaluated factors related to sustained response. Thirty-five patients with advanced cutaneous or primary unknown melanoma with CR to nivolumab or pembrolizumab from 11 centers were included. Mean age was 66.5 years, and 97.1% had ECOG PS 0–1. 28.6% had ≥3 metastatic sites with 58.8% having M1a-M1b disease; 8.6% had liver and 5.7% had brain metastases. At baseline, 80% had normal LDH, and 85.7% had a neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ≤3. 74.3% of patients had CR confirmed in PET-CT. Median duration of anti-PD1 was 23.4 months (range 1.3–50.5). 24 months after therapy discontinuation, 91.9% of patients were progression-free. Estimated PFS and OS at 36, 48, and 60 months from the start of anti-PD1 were 94.2%, 89.9%, 84.3%, and 97.1%, 93.3%, 93.3%, respectively. Antibiotics use after anti-PD1 discontinuation increased the odds of progression (OR 16.53 [95% CI 1.7, 226.03]). The study confirms the feasibility of elective anti-PD1 discontinuation in advanced melanoma patients with CR and favorable prognostic factors at baseline. 相似文献
