The brown rot fungus Wolfiporia cocos and the selective white rot fungus Perenniporia medulla-panis produce peptides and phenolate-derivative compounds as low molecular weight Fe3+-reductants. Phenolates were the major compounds with Fe3+-reducing activity in both fungi and displayed Fe3+-reducing activity at pH 2.0 and 4.5 in the absence and presence of oxalic acid. The chemical structures of these compounds
were identified. Together with Fe3+ and H2O2 (mediated Fenton reaction) they produced oxygen radicals that oxidized lignocellulosic polysaccharides and lignin extensively
in vitro under conditions similar to those found in vivo. These results indicate that, in addition to the extensively studied
Gloeophyllum trabeum—a model brown rot fungus—other brown rot fungi as well as selective white rot fungi, possess the means to promote Fenton
chemistry to degrade cellulose and hemicellulose, and to modify lignin. Moreover, new information is provided, particularly
regarding how lignin is attacked, and either repolymerized or solubilized depending on the type of fungal attack, and suggests
a new pathway for selective white rot degradation of wood. The importance of Fenton reactions mediated by phenolates operating
separately or synergistically with carbohydrate-degrading enzymes in brown rot fungi, and lignin-modifying enzymes in white
rot fungi is discussed. This research improves our understanding of natural processes in carbon cycling in the environment,
which may enable the exploration of novel methods for bioconversion of lignocellulose in the production of biofuels or polymers,
in addition to the development of new and better ways to protect wood from degradation by microorganisms. 相似文献

The ability of ericoid and ectomycorrhizal fungi to utilize 14C-labelled lignin and O14CH3-labelled dehydropolymer of coniferyl alcohol as sole C sources has been assessed in pure culture studies. The results indicate that ericoid mycorrhizal fungi are more effective in degrading lignin than ectomycorrhizal fungi. Amongst the ectomycorrhizal fungi the facultative mycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus degraded lignin more readily than those which are normally considered to be obligately mycorrhizal fungi such as Suillus bovinus and Rhizopogon roseolus. The importance of these lignin degrading capabilities is discussed in relation to the predominance of specific mycorrhiza forms along a gradient of increasing organic matter and hence lignin content of soil. 相似文献

The brown rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum uses an extracellular hydroquinone-quinone redox cycle to reduce Fe3+ and produce H2O2. These reactions generate extracellular Fenton reagent, which enables G. trabeum to degrade a wide variety of organic compounds. We found that G. trabeum secreted two quinones, 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (2,5-DMBQ) and 4,5-dimethoxy-1,2-benzoquinone (4,5-DMBQ), that underwent iron-dependent redox cycling. Experiments that monitored the iron- and quinone-dependent cleavage of polyethylene glycol by G. trabeum showed that 2,5-DMBQ was more effective than 4,5-DMBQ in supporting extracellular Fenton chemistry. Two factors contributed to this result. First, G. trabeum reduced 2,5-DMBQ to 2,5-dimethoxyhydroquinone (2,5-DMHQ) much more rapidly than it reduced 4,5-DMBQ to 4,5-dimethoxycatechol (4,5-DMC). Second, although both hydroquinones reduced ferric oxalate complexes, the predominant form of Fe3+ in G. trabeum cultures, the 2,5-DMHQ-dependent reaction reduced O2 more rapidly than the 4,5-DMC-dependent reaction. Nevertheless, both hydroquinones probably contribute to the extracellular Fenton chemistry of G. trabeum, because 2,5-DMHQ by itself is an efficient reductant of 4,5-DMBQ. 相似文献

This work evaluates linoleic acid peroxidation reactions initiated by Fe3+-reducing compounds recovered from Eucalyptus grandis, biotreated with the biopulping fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora. The aqueous extracts from biotreated wood had the ability to reduce Fe3+ ions from freshly prepared solutions. The compounds responsible for the Fe3+-reducing activity corresponded to UV-absorbing substances with apparent molar masses from 3 kDa to 5 kDa. Linoleic acid peroxidation reactions conducted in the presence of Fe3+ ions and the Fe3+-reducing compounds showed that the rate of O2 consumption during peroxidation was proportional to the Fe3+-reducing activity present in each extract obtained from biotreated wood. This peroxidation reaction was coupled with in-vitro treatment of ball-milled E. grandis wood. Ultraviolet data showed that the reaction system released lignin fragments from the milled wood. Size exclusion chromatography data indicated that the solubilized material contained a minor fraction representing high-molar-mass molecules excluded by the column and a main low-molar-mass peak. Overall evaluation of the data suggested that the Fe3+-reducing compounds formed during wood biodegradation by C. subvermispora can mediate lignin degradation through linoleic acid peroxidation. 相似文献

Fungal succession in rotting wood shows a surprising abundance of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi during the late decomposition stages. To better understand the links between EM fungi and saprotrophic fungi, we investigated the potential capacities of the EM fungus Paxillus involutus to mobilize nutrients from necromass of Postia placenta, a wood rot fungus, and to transfer these elements to its host tree. In this aim, we used pure cultures of P. involutus in the presence of labelled Postia necromass (15N/13C) as nutrient source, and a monoxenic mycorrhized pine experiment composed of labelled Postia necromass and P. involutus culture in interaction with pine seedlings. The isotopic labelling was measured in both experiments. In pure culture, P. involutus was able to mobilize N, but C as well, from the Postia necromass. In the symbiotic interaction experiment, we measured high 15N enrichments in all plant and fungal compartments. Interestingly, 13C remains mainly in the mycelium and mycorrhizas, demonstrating that the EM fungus transferred essentially N from the necromass to the tree. These observations reveal that fungal organic matter could represent a significant N source for EM fungi and trees, but also a C source for mycorrhizal fungi, including in symbiotic lifestyle. 相似文献

In vitro weathering of phlogopite by ectomycorrhizal fungi 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ways in which ectomycorrhizal fungi benefit tree growth and nutrition have not been fully elucidated. Whilst it is most probably due to improved soil colonization, it is also likely that ectomycorrhizal fungi could be directly involved in nutrient cycling of soil reserves. This study assessed access by two species of ectomycorrhizal fungi to soil nonexchangeable K+ reserves. The incubation of ectomycorrhizal fungi in bi-compartment Petri dishes with phlogopite led to cation exchange reactions and to crystal lattice weathering. Paxillus involutus COU led to irreversible phlogopite transformations, while Pisolithus tinctorius 441 led to reversible ones. Simultaneous depletion in K+ and Mg2+ led to an enhanced weathering of phlogopite by P. tinctorius 441. The observation of phlogopite evolution shows that some specific Al3+ immobilization occurred under P. tinctorius 441. The data suggest that these bio-weathering mechanisms could be related to the release of fungal organic acids or other complex forming molecules. 相似文献

The anti- and pro-oxidative effects of phenolic compounds and antioxidants were studied in two different in vitro model systems
utilizing ethyl linoleate and 2′-deoxyguanosine (2′-dG) as oxidative substrates, and a Fenton reaction (H2O2, Fe2+) to initiate oxidation. Oxidation of the biomolecules in both model systems exhibited dose dependency. In the 2′-dG assay,
oxidation was closely related to H2O2 generation, which occurred during autoxidation of the phenolics. Hydroxylating activity was greatly enhanced by Mn2+ and Cu2+, but not by Zn2+ or Co2+. Ethyl linoleate peroxidation was inhibited by low concentrations of catechol, quercitin, and instant coffee. However, peroxidation
was promoted by high concentrations of the same compounds, probably by recycling of chelated inactive Fe3+ to the active Fe2+ state. 相似文献

Mechanisms of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae PMA1 H+-ATPase inactivation by Fe2+, H2O2 and Fenton reagents
Although considerably more oxidation-resistant than other P-type ATPases, the yeast PMA1 H+-ATPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SY4 secretory vesicles was inactivated by H2O2, Fe2+, Fe- and Cu-Fenton reagents. Inactivation by Fe2+ required the presence of oxygen and hence involved auto-oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+. The highest Fe2- (100 μM) and H2O2 (100 mM) concentrations used produced about the same effect. Inactivation by the Fenton reagent depended more on Fe2+ content than on H2O2 concentration, occurred only when Fe2+ was added to the vesicles first and was only slightly reduced by scavengers (mannitol, Tris, NaN3, DMSO) and by chelators (EDTA, EGTA, DTPA, BPDs, bipyridine, 1, 10-phenanthroline). Inactivation by Fe- and Cu- Fenton reagent was the same; the identical inactivation pattern found for both reagents under anaerobic conditions showed that both reagents act via OH·. The lipid peroxidation blocker BHT prevented Fenton-induced rise in lipid peroxidation in both whole cells and in isolated membrane lipids but did not protect the H+-ATPase in secretory vesicles against inactivation. ATP partially protected the enzyme against peroxide and the Fenton reagent in a way resembling the protection it afforded against SH-specific agents. The results indicate that Fe2+ and the Fenton reagent act via metal-catalyzed oxidation at specific metal-binding sites, very probably SH-containing amino acid residues. Deferrioxamine, which prevents the redox cycling of Fe2+, blocked H+-ATPase inactivation by Fe2+ and the Fenton reagent but not that caused by H2O2, which therefore seems to involve a direct non-radical attack. Fe-Fenton reagent caused fragmentation of the H+-ATPase molecule, which, in Western blots, did not give rise to defined fragments bands but merely to smears. 相似文献

In temperate and boreal forest ecosystems, nitrogen (N) limitation of tree metabolism is alleviated by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. As forest soils age, the primary source of N in soil switches from inorganic (NH4+ and NO3−) to organic (mostly proteins). It has been hypothesized that ECM fungi adapt to the most common N source in their environment, which implies that fungi growing in older forests would have greater protein degradation abilities. Moreover, recent results for a model ECM fungal species suggest that organic N uptake requires a glucose supply. To test the generality of these hypotheses, we screened 55 strains of 13 Suillus species with different ecological preferences for their in vitro protein degradation abilities. Suillus species preferentially occurring in mature forests, where soil contains more organic matter, had significantly higher protease activity than those from young forests with low-organic-matter soils or species indifferent to forest age. Within species, the protease activities of ecotypes from soils with high or low soil organic N content did not differ significantly, suggesting resource partitioning between mineral and organic soil layers. The secreted protease mixtures were strongly dominated by aspartic peptidases. Glucose addition had variable effects on secreted protease activity; in some species, it triggered activity, but in others, activity was repressed at high concentrations. Collectively, our results indicate that protease activity, a key ectomycorrhizal functional trait, is positively related to environmental N source availability but is also influenced by additional factors, such as carbon availability. 相似文献

The effect of lactic acid (lactate) on Fenton based hydroxyl radical (·OH) production was studied by spin trapping, ESR, and fluorescence methods using DMPO and coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (3-CCA) as the ·OH traps respectively. The ·OH adduct formation was inhibited by lactate up to 0.4mM (lactate/iron stoichiometry = 2) in both experiments, but markedly enhanced with increasing concentrations of lactate above this critical concentration. When the H2O2 dependence was examined, the DMPO-OH signal was increased linearly with H2O2 concentration up to 1 mM and then saturated in the absence of lactate. In the presence of lactate, however, the DMPO-OH signal was increased further with higher H2O2 concentration than 1 mM, and the saturation level was also increased dependent on lactate concentration. Spectroscopic studies revealed that lactate forms a stable colored complex with Fe3+ at lactate/Fe3+ stoichiometry of 2, and the complex formation was strictly related to the DMPO-OH formation. The complex formation did not promote the H2O2 mediated Fe3+ reduction. When the Fe3+-lactate (1:2) complex was reacted with H2O2, the initial rate of hydroxylated 3-CCA formation was linearly increased with H2O2 concentrations. All the data obtained in the present experiments suggested that the Fe3+-lactate (1:2) complex formed in the Fenton reaction system reacts directly with H2O2 to produce additional ·OH in the Fenton reaction by other mechanisms than lactate or lactate/Fe3+ mediated promotion of Fe3+/Fe2+ redox cycling. 相似文献

In cells, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and peroxisomes are the major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Cytochrome c (cyt c) is known to participate in mitochondrial electron transport and has antioxidant and peroxidase activities. Under oxidative or nitrative stress, the peroxidase activity of Fe3+cyt c is increased. The level of NADH is also increased under pathophysiological conditions such as ischemia and diabetes and a concurrent increase in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production occurs. Studies were performed to understand the related mechanisms of radical generation and NADH oxidation by Fe3+cyt c in the presence of H2O2. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping studies using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) were performed with NADH, Fe3+cyt c, and H2O2 in the presence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin. An EPR spectrum corresponding to the superoxide radical adduct of DMPO encapsulated in methyl-β-cyclodextrin was obtained. This EPR signal was quenched by the addition of the superoxide scavenging enzyme Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1). The amount of superoxide radical adduct formed from the oxidation of NADH by the peroxidase activity of Fe3+cyt c increased with NADH and H2O2 concentration. From these results, we propose a mechanism in which the peroxidase activity of Fe3+cyt c oxidizes NADH to NAD•, which in turn donates an electron to O2, resulting in superoxide radical formation. A UV-visible spectroscopic study shows that Fe3+cyt c is reduced in the presence of both NADH and H2O2. Our results suggest that Fe3+cyt c could have a novel role in the deleterious effects of ischemia/reperfusion and diabetes due to increased production of superoxide radical. In addition, Fe3+cyt c may play a key role in the mitochondrial “ROS-induced ROS-release” signaling and in mitochondrial and cellular injury/death. The increased oxidation of NADH and generation of superoxide radical by this mechanism may have implications for the regulation of apoptotic cell death, endothelial dysfunction, and neurological diseases. We also propose an alternative electron transfer pathway, which may protect mitochondria and mitochondrial proteins from oxidative damage. 相似文献

The thermoacidophilic Acidianus strain DS80 displays versatility in its energy metabolism and can grow autotrophically and heterotrophically with elemental sulfur (S°), ferric iron (Fe3+) or oxygen (O2) as electron acceptors. Here, we show that autotrophic and heterotrophic growth with S° as the electron acceptor is obligately dependent on hydrogen (H2) as electron donor; organic substrates such as acetate can only serve as a carbon source. In contrast, organic substrates such as acetate can serve as electron donor and carbon source for Fe3+ or O2 grown cells. During growth on S° or Fe3+ with H2 as an electron donor, the amount of CO2 assimilated into biomass decreased when cultures were provided with acetate. The addition of CO2 to cultures decreased the amount of acetate mineralized and assimilated and increased cell production in H2/Fe3+ grown cells but had no effect on H2/S° grown cells. In acetate/Fe3+ grown cells, the presence of H2 decreased the amount of acetate mineralized as CO2 in cultures compared to those without H2. These results indicate that electron acceptor availability constrains the variety of carbon sources used by this strain. Addition of H2 to cultures overcomes this limitation and alters heterotrophic metabolism. 相似文献

The decomposition of soil organic matter in forest ecosystems is important in two ways. First, soil organic matter is the largest pool of C in terrestrial ecosystems, so understanding global carbon cycling requires an appreciation of the factors that control the size of that pool and the fluxes through it. Among these factors are those that control the rate of organic matter decomposition. Second, organic matter decomposition is the major process controlling the supply of nutrients to plants. In some ecosystems ectomycorrhizal fungi comprise a surprisingly large fraction of soil organic matter. However, little is known of the rates of decomposition of ectomycorrhizal fungi, or of the factors that control those rates. Therefore, we set out to examine the relationship between N concentrations and decomposition rates of ectomycorrhizal fungi using a wide variety of strains isolated from a Pinus resinosa plantation. We found that substantial variation among strains existed in decomposition rate, and that decomposition rate was highly correlated with tissue N concentration. We conclude, therefore, that the structures of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities may be ecologically important in terms of ecosystem C and N dynamics. 相似文献

In the absence of added Fe2+, the ATPase activity of isolatedSchizosaccharomyces pombe plasma membranes (5–7 μmolP
i per mg protein per min) is moderately inhibited by H2O2 in a concentration-dependent manner. Sizable inactivation occurs only at 50–80 mmol/L H2O2. The process, probably a direct oxidative action of H2O2 on the enzyme, is not induced by the indigenous membrane-bound iron (19.3 nmol/mg membrane protein), is not affected by the
radical scavengers mannitol and Tris, and involves a decrease of both theK
m of the enzyme for ATP and theV of ATP splitting. On exposing the membranes to the Fenton reagent (50 μmol/L Fe2+ +20 mmol/L H2O2), which causes a fast production of HO− radicals, the ATPase is 50–60% inactivated and 90% of added Fe2+ is oxidized to Fe3+ within 1 min. The inactivation occurs only when Fe2+ is added before H2O2 and can thus bind to the membranes. The lack of effect of radical scavengers (mannitol, Tris) indicates that HO− radicals produced in the bulk phase play no role in inactivation. Blockage of the inactivation by the iron chelator deferrioxamine
implies that the process requires the presence of Fe2+ ions bound to binding sites on the enzyme molecules. Added catalase, which competes with Fe2+ for H2O2, slows down the inactivation but in some cases increases its total extent, probably due to the formation of the superoxide
radical that gives rise to delayed HO− production. 相似文献

A simple strategy for the induction of extracellular hydroxyl radical (OH) production by white-rot fungi is presented. It involves the incubation of mycelium with quinones and Fe3+-EDTA. Succinctly, it is based on the establishment of a quinone redox cycle catalyzed by cell-bound dehydrogenase activities and the ligninolytic enzymes (laccase and peroxidases). The semiquinone intermediate produced by the ligninolytic enzymes drives OH production by a Fenton reaction (H2O2 + Fe2+ → OH + OH− + Fe3+). H2O2 production, Fe3+ reduction, and OH generation were initially demonstrated with two Pleurotus eryngii mycelia (one producing laccase and versatile peroxidase and the other producing just laccase) and four quinones, 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ), 2-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (MBQ), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DBQ), and 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione [MD]). In all cases, OH radicals were linearly produced, with the highest rate obtained with MD, followed by DBQ, MBQ, and BQ. These rates correlated with both H2O2 levels and Fe3+ reduction rates observed with the four quinones. Between the two P. eryngii mycelia used, the best results were obtained with the one producing only laccase, showing higher OH production rates with added purified enzyme. The strategy was then validated in Bjerkandera adusta, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Phlebia radiata, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, and Trametes versicolor, also showing good correlation between OH production rates and the kinds and levels of the ligninolytic enzymes expressed by these fungi. We propose this strategy as a useful tool to study the effects of OH radicals on lignin and organopollutant degradation, as well as to improve the bioremediation potential of white-rot fungi.White-rot fungi are unique in their ability to degrade a wide variety of organopollutants (36, 47), mainly due to the secretion of a low-specificity enzyme system whose natural function is the degradation of lignin (11). Components of this system include laccase and/or one or two types of peroxidase, such as lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese peroxidase (MnP), and versatile peroxidase (VP) (31). Besides acting directly, the ligninolytic enzymes can bring about lignin and pollutant degradation through the generation of low-molecular-weight extracellular oxidants, including (i) Mn3+, (ii) free radicals from some fungal metabolites and lignin depolymerization products (7, 22), and (iii) oxygen free radicals, mainly hydroxyl radicals (OH) and lipid peroxidation radicals (21). Although OH radicals are the strongest oxidants found in cultures of white-rot fungi (1), studies of their involvement in pollutant degradation are scarce. One of the reasons is that the mechanisms proposed for OH production still await in vivo validation.Several potential sources of extracellular OH based on the Fenton reaction (H2O2 + Fe2+ → OH + OH− + Fe3+) have been postulated for white-rot fungi. In one case, an extracellular fungal glycopeptide has been shown to reduce O2 and Fe3+ to H2O2 and Fe2+ (45). Enzymatic sources include cellobiose dehydrogenase, LiP, and laccase. Among these, only cellobiose dehydrogenase is able to directly catalyze the formation of Fenton''s reagent (33). The ligninolytic enzymes, however, act as an indirect source of OH through the generation of Fe3+ and O2 reductants, such as formate (CO2−) and semiquinone (Q−) radicals. The first time evidence was provided that a ligninolytic enzyme was involved in OH production, oxalate was used to generate CO2− in a LiP reaction mediated by veratryl alcohol (4). The proposed mechanism consisted of the following cascade of reactions: production of veratryl alcohol cation radical (Valc+) by LiP, oxidation of oxalate to CO2− by Valc+, reduction of O2 to O2− by CO2−, and a superoxide-driven Fenton reaction (Haber-Weiss reaction) in which Fe3+ was reduced by O2−. The OH production mechanism assisted by Q− was inferred from the oxidation of 2-methoxy-1,4-benzohydroquinone (MBQH2) and 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzohydroquinone (DBQH2) by Pleurotus eryngii laccase in the presence of Fe3+-EDTA. The ability of Q− radicals to reduce both Fe3+ to Fe2+ and O2 to O2−, which dismutated to H2O2, was demonstrated (14). In this case, OH radicals were generated by a semiquinone-driven Fenton reaction, as Q− radicals were the main agents accomplishing Fe3+ reduction. The first evidence of the likelihood of this OH production mechanism being operative in vivo had been obtained from incubations of P. eryngii with 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione [MD]) and Fe3+-EDTA (15). Extracellular OH radicals were produced on a constant basis through quinone redox cycling, consisting of the reduction of MD by a cell-bound quinone reductase (QR) system, followed by the extracellular oxidation of the resulting hydroquinone (MDH2) to its semiquinone radical (MD−). The production of extracellular O2− and H2O2 by P. eryngii via redox cycling involving laccase was subsequently confirmed using 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ), 2-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, and 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (duroquinone), in addition to MD (16). However, the demonstration of OH production based on the redox cycling of quinones other than MD was still required.In the present paper, we describe the induction of extracellular OH production by P. eryngii upon its incubation with BQ, 2-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (MBQ), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DBQ), and MD in the presence of Fe3+-EDTA. The three benzoquinones were selected because they are oxidation products of p-hydroxyphenyl, guaiacyl, and syringyl units of lignin (MD was included as a positive control). Along with laccase, the involvement of P. eryngii VP in the production of O2− and H2O2 from hydroquinone oxidation has also been reported (13). Since hydroquinones are substrates of all known ligninolytic enzymes, quinone redox cycling catalysis could involve any of them. Here, we demonstrate OH production by P. eryngii under two different culture conditions, leading to the production of laccase or laccase and VP. We also show that quinone redox cycling is widespread among white-rot fungi by using a series of well-studied species that produce different combinations of ligninolytic enzymes. 相似文献

The natural dihydroflavonol (+) taxifolin was investigated for its protective effect on Fenton reagent-treated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs). Various antioxidant assays were used to determine the possible mechanism. These included ?OH-scavenging, 2-phenyl-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide radical-scavenging (PTIO?-scavenging), 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazl radical-scavenging (DPPH?-scavenging), 2, 2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical-scavenging (ABTS+?-scavenging), Fe3+-reducing, and Cu2+-reducing assays. The Fe2+-binding reaction was also investigated using UV-Vis spectra. The results revealed that cell viability was fully restored, even increasing to 142.9?±?9.3% after treatment with (+) taxifolin. In the antioxidant assays, (+) taxifolin was observed to efficiently scavenge ?OH, DPPH? and ABTS+? radicals, and to increase the relative Cu2+- and Fe3+-reducing levels. In the PTIO?-scavenging assay, its IC50 values varied with pH. In the Fe2+-binding reaction, (+) taxifolin was found to yield a green solution with two UV-Vis absorbance peaks: λmax =?433 nm (ε =5.2?×?102 L mol?1 cm ?1) and λmax =?721 nm (ε?=?5.1?×?102 L mol?1 cm ?1). These results indicate that (+) taxifolin can act as an effective ?OH-scavenger, protecting bmMSCs from ?OH-induced damage. Its ?OH-scavenging action consists of direct and indirect antioxidant effects. Direct antioxidation occurs via multiple pathways, including ET, PCET or HAT. Indirect antioxidation involves binding to Fe2+. 相似文献

In vitro weathering of phlogopite by ectomycorrhizal fungi 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Oxalate accumulation in external medium under hyphal mats of two ectomycorrhizal species is strongly stimulated (1.7 to 35 fold) by a simultaneous depletion of available K+ and Mg2+. Pisolithus tinctorius strain 441 accumulates oxalate both on NH4–N and on NO3–N whereas Paxillus involutus strain COU only accumulates oxalate on NO3–N. On NO3–N, under a simultaneous K+ and Mg2+ deficiency, P. involutus COU is a very active oxalate producer compared to P. tinctorius 441. The present results could explain the various mineralogical evolutions of a phlogopite mica previously recorded under P. involutus COU or P. tinctorius 441 and suggest a key role for fungal oxalic acid during mineral weathering in response to nutrient deficiency. 相似文献

The efficiency of phenol degradation via Fenton reaction using mixture of heterogeneous goethite catalyst with homogeneous ferrous ion was analyzed as a function of three independent variables, initial concentration of phenol (60 to 100 mg /L), weight ratio of initial concentration of phenol to that of H2O2 (1: 6 to 1: 14) and, weight ratio of initial concentration of goethite catalyst to that of H2O2 (1: 0.3 to 1: 0.7). More than 90 % of phenol removal and more than 40% of TOC removal were achieved within 60 minutes of reaction. Two separate models were developed using artificial neural networks to predict degradation percentage by a combination of Fe3+ and Fe2+ catalyst. Five operational parameters were employed as inputs while phenol degradation and TOC removal were considered as outputs of the developed models. Satisfactory agreement was observed between testing data and the predicted values (R2
Phenol = 0.9214 and R2TOC= 0.9082). 相似文献

Summary Hydroxyl radicals (OH') can be formed in aqueous solution by direct reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with ferrous salt (Fenton reaction). OH' damage to deoxyribose, measured as formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive material, was evaluated at different pHs to study the mechanism of action of classical OH' scavengers. OH' scavenger effect on Fe2+ oxidation was also evaluated in the same experimental conditions. In the absence of OH' scavengers, OH' damage to deoxyribose is higher at acidic compared to neutral and moderately basic pH. At acidic pH deoxiribose is per se able to inhibit Fe2+ oxidation by H202. Most of OH' scavengers tested inhibit deoxyribose damage and Fe2+ oxidation in a similar manner: both inhibitions are most relevant at acidic pH and decrease by increasing the pH. These results are not due to OH' scavenger inhibition of Fenton reaction. The influence of pH on the parameters studied appears to be due to the competition of deoxyribose and OH' scavengers for iron. These results suggest the prominent role of iron binding in the degradation of deoxyribose and in the OH' scavenging ability of different compounds. Results obtained with triethylenetetramine, a iron chelator with a low rate constant with OH', confirm that both deoxyribose and the OH' scavengers interact with iron bringing about a site specific Fenton reaction; that the OH' formed at these sites oxidize these molecules to their radical forms which in turn reduce the Fe3– produced by Fenton reaction. The results presented indicate that most of classical OH' scavengers exert their effect predominantly by preventing the site specific reaction between Fe2+ and H202 on the deoxyribose molecule. 相似文献
